Chapter 300: Chapter 195 Empress Position Comes Naturally!_3

“How come, Second Prince, are you not welcoming?” Gu Changge said as he saw no reaction from him and couldn’t help but speak up again.

“Welcome, of course, you’re welcome!” the man replied.

“When Brother-in-law comes, I will certainly host a banquet in your honor!” Gu Changge said.

“Well then… I shall take my leave first,” the prince said.

Wang Cheng snapped back to reality, hastily responding.

Having said that, he hurriedly left with his Shadow Guards.

But looking at his retreating figure, it gave off the impression of someone running away.

Gu Changge smiled and waved at his back, “Safe travels, Second Prince.”

Hearing his voice, Wang Cheng stumbled and walked even faster.

This scene caught the eyes of many Deacons, each with strange expressions on their faces.

Only when Wang Cheng’s figure disappeared at the end of the street did they finally burst into laughter, “Haha… This Second Prince of the Northern Domain, why does he act like he’s seen a flood or a wild beast upon seeing our Young Master?”

“Look how scared he got!”

“As expected of our Young Master, even a prince has to tuck his tail and run faster upon seeing you!”

Gu Changge just shook his head at the sycophantic Deacons and turned to go back home.

However, he couldn’t help but think.

This Second Prince really is a bit timid.

How can he even compete for the throne with such a demeanor?

But from my interactions, he doesn’t seem to harbor any ill will, and could be useful in the future if circumstances allow.

Despite my disdain for the Northern Domain, it’s after all where the Gu Family has its roots.

Even if I make Central State my main stage in the future, the Northern Domain cannot be completely abandoned.

What belongs to the Gu Family will remain so…

Perhaps, in time, the entire Northern Domain will bear the name ‘Gu’.

Think of it as an escape route I could take at any time.

When he returned to Young Master Palace,

By chance, he saw Qingqing, who had just finished her seclusion.

Seeing her troubled expression, Gu Changge immediately understood and asked, “Wife, is it time for you to leave?”

“Mm…”

“I originally only came out on a Sect mission.”

“I’ve already stayed in the Gu Family for a month.”

“As a Saintess, I mustn’t be absent from the Sect’s upcoming disciple selection.”

Liu Qingqing nodded and spoke with a hint of helplessness.

“It’s no trouble.”

“If I have some free time, I will come to Heavenly Cold Sect to see you,” Gu Changge reassured her, noticing her reluctance to leave, and couldn’t help but reach out to ruffle her hair.

“Really?” Hearing that her husband would come to see her, Liu Qingqing felt instantly better.

“Why would I lie to you?”

“It’s not like I’m going to be assassinated by a Ninth Grade on the way, right?” Gu Changge raised an eyebrow and joked.

…

“Or perhaps, Husband, you should stay with the Gu Family. The next time I’m out on a mission, I’ll come to find you.”

His joking remark caught Liu Qingqing off guard and she took it seriously.

The talent displayed by her husband indeed made him a target for many.

And now with Yuan Youbai involved, people from Central State might also intend to harm him.

Especially the Saint Heir from Immortal Ascension Sect, he may not have given up yet.

If a Ninth Grade attacked her husband on the way, and now with Senior Xue not by his side, she couldn’t bear the thought of any mishap.

“Wife, do you really think Ninth Grade assassins are a dime a dozen, only targeting your husband every day?”

Gu Changge was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and spoke.

However, it was time for his wife to leave, and he certainly couldn’t let these last moments slip by.

Without waiting for her to say anything more, he already carried her into the room.

Feeling her Husband’s warm chest, Liu Qingqing offered no resistance and even willingly wrapped her arms around his neck.

…

A day later, Gu Changge accompanied his wife all the way to the outskirts of the main city.

Watching her figure disappear, he then returned home.

As his wife left, he spent a total of sixty thousand Attribute Points to exchange for two Elixirs for Qingqing.

[Exchange: Third-Grade Root Bone Pill (+15), Third-Grade Comprehension Pill (+15)]

[Total Attribute Points spent: Sixty thousand]

[Remaining Attribute Points for Host: Forty-nine thousand nine hundred]

“I wonder if my wife will be able to break through to the next Realm when we meet again next time.”

“Sigh…”

“Without realizing it, the speed of my Realm breakthroughs is getting faster, and the gap between me and my wives is growing.”

Gu Changge rubbed his forehead.

Originally, he had planned to go to Central State together with his wife.

But now it seemed that plans might need to change.

At this rate, he could break through to the Infinite Realm in just one more year.

Actually, he wasn’t in a hurry to go to Central State. If necessary, he would wait until his wives reached the Seventh Grade Unlimited Realm. They also possessed Acquired Spirit Bodies and weren’t slow in their cultivation!

Besides, they didn’t each open four Qi Seas like he did, so breaking through was actually quite quick for them.

But the problem was, Yuan Youbai’s mother probably couldn’t wait that long.

Once he broke through to the Seventh Grade Unlimited Realm, he must head to Central State immediately!

By then, he could only ask his wives to wait for him in the Northern Domain, and if possible, help Yue’er take control over the Imperial Family.

He would make his way in Central State, and if his wives could secure the Northern Domain, that wouldn’t be too bad either.

“I wonder if she’s made it back to the Dongfang Family by now.”

Gu Changge took out a Communication Jade Token, the same one Dongfang Mingyue had left when she departed without a farewell.

But up to this point, he hadn’t received any communication.

With these thoughts, he returned to the Gu Family and headed straight for the Back Mountain.

But after waiting outside the Maze for a long time, the Ancestor didn’t dispel the Maze.

“The Ancestor must have gone to Duanbei City again…”

“It seems I can look forward to replenishing some Attribute Points!”

With hope, he left the Back Mountain and returned to his Young Master Palace and, having nothing else to do, began to cultivate.

…

At this very moment, the Dongfang Family in Central State was far from peaceful!

“What!?”

“You sneaking out is one thing, but how could you have found a Daoist Couple in the barren Northern Domain?”

“No, this absolutely won’t do!”

“There are so many outstanding talents in Central State you didn’t choose, why pick a green youngster from the impoverished Northern Domain?”

“The Gu Family may be influential in the Northern Domain, but they are nothing compared to our Dongfang Family!”

“This matter can’t just go according to your whims!”
