Chapter 276: Chapter 187: Challenge Again

Facing the questions of the two, Gu Changge couldn’t help but fall into contemplation.

Just then, a timid figure peeked through the crack of the door for quite a while.

It was only then that she poked her head out and came over.

“Is that girl pretty?”

Yuan Youbai also awoke from her cultivation, just in time to hear the discussion outside.

However, her point of interest was different; she was not concerned with the power of the Dongfang Family in Central State.

On the contrary, she was curious about the looks of the girl who dared challenge Lord Jun.

“She is pretty indeed.”

Gu Changge rubbed his forehead, already getting a headache from the two people questioning him, and now even Little Hanhan was chiming in.

Nevertheless, he casually answered Little Hanhan’s question.

“Well, that settles it then.”

“If she’s pretty, she should be snatched away to become a bride.”

“Mother thought father was good-looking and snatched him back to her cavern abode!”

“If Lord Jun is stronger than that girl and finds her pretty, why not just snatch her away to the Gu Family next time?”

Yuan Youbai tilted her head and spoke earnestly.

Gu Changge was left blinking in astonishment.

Were the customs of the Dragon Clan really so fierce?

But the Dongfang Family was no ordinary family; it wasn’t feasible to snatch her away forcefully.

Although… it seemed he didn’t need to resort to force.

Moreover, what he cared about more was what the other party meant; if there was mutual affection, as the wives had suggested, he indeed found no issue with that idea.

If the other party had no such thoughts, then why insist?

Even if he missed out on the Dongfang Family today, once he proceeded to Central State, wouldn’t there be plenty of Heavenly Pride Girls from many families in Central State?

“Forget it, let’s not talk about this for now.”

“All the wives have woken up; let’s pack up and move to a new place.”

Gu Changge coughed twice, not wanting to set any conclusions for them just yet.

Liu Qingqing and Wang Yue heard what Lord Husband said and did not say more; they supported whatever choices Lord Husband made.

But as for Little Hanhan, hearing they’d be moving to a new home, she happily returned to her room to pack.

However, once back in her room, she realized there wasn’t much to pack.

Ever since she had the Space Ring, she had not wasted any time; she kept everything in the Space Ring given by Lord Husband.

The room was empty…

Wang Yue also returned to her room with a smile.

“Right, this is something Sister Zhu Qin asked me to bring to Lord Husband.”

For a moment, only the two of them were left in the courtyard, Liu Qingqing suddenly remembered something and handed over a Storage Pouch.

“My wife, if you hadn’t mentioned it, I would have almost forgotten about this matter.”

Gu Changge took the Storage Pouch, casually examined its contents with his Divine Sense, and laughed.

Apart from a head, there was also an Image Keeping Pearl, which obviously recorded the process to give to himself as leverage.

But now the situation was vastly different.

In the past, he might have wanted leverage for control.

But he hadn’t expected to grow so fast.

Leaving Duanbei City was less than half a year ago, and both his strength and status had changed drastically.

This leverage, for him, had become dispensable.

He casually put the Storage Pouch away, planning to deal with it when he arrived at Young Master Palace.

However, Yayun did die deservedly.

Back then, scheming against his wife nearly caused her demise outside Duanbei City, and she deserved death for it.

Additionally, during the incident outside Heavenly Cold Sect last time, he remembered she almost tricked him.

Helping that Ninth Grade Annihilation Realm from Central State target him!

…

Meanwhile, inside an inconspicuous inn.

Dongfang Mingyue’s time recently had been anything but peaceful.

Having witnessed that man, at Fifth-grade Ruins Realm, calling forth a Heavenly Tribulation, and then successfully enduring it to use it for body tempering.

She plunged into self-doubt.

Although she failed to challenge him last time, she always believed that as long as she did not suppress too much of her Realm, even if she faced Gu Changge using the Early Stage of Void Refining Realm.

She had a great chance of winning.

If she fully unleashed her Realm, facing a Late Stage Ruins Realm with a Late Stage Void Refining Realm would make winning as easy as flipping her hand!

But now…

She began to doubt.

She had never seen such a ferocious person!

If he could even refine Heavenly Tribulation, what could he not do?

Could she really win against him using her full strength in the Late Stage of Void Refining Realm?

“But I, as a Sword Immortal, can’t just skulk back to Central State like this…”

Dongfang Mingyue thought it through and couldn’t just let it go!

That Flying Sword held a special significance for her.

For some reason, she suddenly remembered a vow she had made.

If someone could make her admit he was truly stronger than her, then she would become Daoist Couple with him!

This vow was known by many Heavenly Pride individuals in Central State.

Many had come to challenge her, but until now, no one had made her admit that they were much stronger than her!

At the same Realm, she almost always won; at most, it was a tie or a close defeat, and after a few more fights she could win some and lose some; no one could consistently beat her.

Anyone who could do so was far above her in Realm and much older than her, those individuals naturally dared not challenge her at Dongfang Family, and the Dongfang Family wouldn’t want it either!

If she had to speak of someone she deemed powerful, in Central State, there was only one.

The First Peak of the Sword Sect, the person with the Innate Sword Body.

But that person was nearly a thousand years old now, and had reached the True Monarch Realm.

Naturally, there would be no possible feelings there.

However, Gu Changge now made her feel a great disparity…
