Holding a child-bearing system, seducing all the handsome male cultivators in the wilderness

The next day, when Li Wanji woke up, Ximen Qing was no longer by her side. She rubbed her sleepy eyes, sat up, and looked around.

The room has been tidied up, and the hazy and ambiguous atmosphere of last night seems to have been blown away by the breeze.

Huanli brought in a basin of water. Seeing that Li Wanji had woken up, she bowed respectfully and said, "Madam, you are awake. Please wash up."

Li Wanji nodded, took the towel handed to her by Huanli, and gently wiped her face.

In her heart, she was thinking about Ximen Qing's unusual behavior last night and the secrets that might be hidden in his study.

Never mind, everything still needs to be considered carefully!

Before entering the game, Li Wanji had studied the "Xianyuan Map 2.0" and found that it not only recorded the specific location of the top-grade spiritual mine, but also recorded the detailed method of entering the spiritual mine.

However, this information alone is not enough to help the Wangchuan Alliance seize the top-grade spiritual mine, because the spiritual mine is protected by the Ximen family's unique restrictions.

These restrictions have been passed down for thousands of years. They are not only powerful but also complex. The most important thing is that in order to break the restrictions, one must obtain the blood power of the direct descendants of the Ximen family.

Li Wanji planned all of this after the "Xianyuan Map" was upgraded!

One is to persuade Ximen Qing to rebel, and use his identity and blood power to break the ban; the other is, if the rebellion fails, then try to combine with him to give birth to offspring, so as to indirectly obtain the blood power of the Taotie clan.

That's why she replaced Cang Ji and married Ximen Qing. No matter which way, it was for the ultimate goal of Wangchuan League - to seize the top-grade spiritual mine.

Li Wanji knew clearly in her heart that her marriage with Ximen Qing was nothing more than a carefully planned chess game.

She is both a chess piece and a chess player, taking every step carefully yet firmly and decisively.

However, from the current perspective, this is not an easy task. Although Ximen Qing's attitude towards her is not cold, he obviously keeps a certain distance.

It is true that Li Wanji went to Ximen Qing's study last night in order to find clues that would be more favorable to the Wangchuan Alliance, but she also deliberately went to test Ximen Qing's reaction.

Ximen Qing's reaction was exactly as she expected. There was a secret in the study that he valued very much, but Li Wanji was not sure what it was yet.

She could only observe secretly and look for opportunities to investigate further. The most important thing right now was to conquer Ximen Qing.

Li Wanji understood that this was not a one-day job. She needed to patiently understand Ximen Qing, get close to him, and make him let down his guard against her.

If I can make him truly fall in love with me, then everything will fall into place.

How easy is it to incite a top expert like Ximen Qing, who is so rational that he is almost cruel, to rebel?

But the road has come to this point, Li Wanji has no choice but to move forward bravely.

"Young Madam, we should go and pay our respects to the old lady later." Huanli reminded, interrupting Li Wanji's thoughts.

Li Wanji regained her composure and nodded: "Okay, I understand. Go get ready first, I'll be there later."

Huanli withdrew in response, and Li Wanji began to tidy up her appearance. She knew that the Ximen family had strict family rules and that elders must be treated with respect and courtesy, and no mistakes were allowed.

Although she is not the real Cangzhi, since she has taken over her identity, she must play this role well.

Huanli picked out a simple yet dignified dress for her, combed her hair into an exquisite bun, and put on the jewelry that a legitimate daughter-in-law of the Ximen family should have.

The woman in the mirror had a beautiful face and noble temperament, as if she was really the gentle and virtuous young lady of the Ximen family.

Li Wanji nodded with satisfaction, smiled at the mirror, turned and walked out of the room.

The main hall of the Qing Palace was spacious and magnificent, decorated in a splendid style. Old Madam Ximen sat in the main seat, holding a rosary and closing her eyes to rest.

Sitting on both sides were Ximen Qing's mother Shangguan Huajin and several of Ximen Qing's aunts and uncles. They were either talking in low voices or drinking tea and reading. The atmosphere was solemn yet harmonious.

Li Wanji, led by Huanli, slowly walked into the main hall. Her steps were neither hurried nor slow, and her manners were graceful. Every step seemed to be carefully calculated, neither too ostentatious nor timid.

When she walked into the main hall, everyone's eyes turned to her.

The old lady opened her eyes, looked at Li Wanji, smiled and waved: "Aji, come, come to grandma."

Li Wanji walked up to the old lady respectfully and performed a standard junior etiquette: "Grandma, I, your granddaughter-in-law, only greet you."

The old lady nodded with satisfaction, took her hand and asked her to sit next to her: "Azhi, how do you feel today? Are you used to it?"

Li Wanji smiled and replied: "Thank you for your concern, grandma. Everything is fine."

The old lady turned around and introduced to the elders nearby: "This is my grandson's new granddaughter-in-law, Azhi. Everyone take a look. Isn't she a pretty girl?"

Several elders nodded in praise, expressing their admiration for Li Wanji's appearance and temperament.

Li Wanji knew that the old lady was building momentum for her, and she was very grateful.

Because in this strange family, only with the recognition and support of the elders can she gain a better foothold.

"Mother, this is just a superficial effort by the Lord to curry favor with our Ximen family." A discordant voice suddenly sounded, breaking the harmonious atmosphere in the main hall.

Li Wanji looked in the direction of the voice and saw a middle-aged woman with a look of disdain on her face. It was Ximen Qing's second aunt, her name was Liang Yuehua.

She was known for her sharp words and outspokenness in the Ximen family. At this moment, she looked at Li Wanji with contempt, as if she was looking at an insignificant outsider.

Li Wanji frowned slightly, but soon regained her composure. She knew that her second aunt obviously didn't take her seriously and even wanted to intimidate her.

She could not tolerate such contempt. It was a slap in her face as well as in Ximen Qing's.

Li Wanji stood up, bowed slightly to Liang Yuehua, and then slapped her in the face. The crisp sound echoed in the main hall.

Liang Yuehua was caught off guard by the slap. She covered her burning cheek and looked at Li Wanji in shock.

She had never thought that this new niece-in-law would be so bold as to hit her in front of everyone in the Ximen family.

The atmosphere in the main hall suddenly became tense, and everyone's eyes were focused on Li Wanji.

Li Wanji looked at Liang Yuehua calmly and said with a smile: "Second aunt, Ah Zhi is new here. If there is anything I did wrong, please give me some advice. But as the legitimate wife of the Ximen family, Ah Zhi will never allow others to insult her."

"You..." Liang Yuehua was shocked by Li Wanji's aura and she was speechless for a moment.

Although she was outspoken, she was not a person without sense of propriety. She knew that what she had said just now was indeed a bit excessive, but she did not expect Li Wanji to fight back so strongly.

Isn't it said that this is just a vase with the title of princess in vain? This sudden counterattack caught her off guard.
