"Husband, look how grand Uncle Liu's manor is!" Yi Lin exclaimed.
The Mount Heng School was a convent, so naturally, everything inside was plain, including the colors. Unlike the bright reds and purples here at the Hengshan Sect.
"Husband..." Yi Lin turned and saw Li Hao staring intently at an incredibly beautiful young woman. She couldn't help but feel displeased and grabbed the soft flesh of Li Hao's waist, giving it a 360-degree twist.
"Ouch!" Li Hao came to his senses. Seeing Yi Lin's furious expression, he couldn't help but laugh.
"What's wrong? Is my little Yi Lin jealous?"
"Husband, I don't mind if you like other girls, but you..." Yi Lin trailed off. She glanced at the surrounding crowd and ultimately decided not to say anything more.
Sometimes, walls have ears, and speaking carelessly can lead to trouble.
"My dear Yi Lin, I saw you were too tired last night, so I wanted to find some sisters to share the burden with you. You've lost weight these past two days," Li Hao said with a serious expression.
"I..." Yi Lin was speechless.
She knew her husband's miraculous abilities. That Art of the Chamber was truly incredible. In just two days, she had advanced from a third-rate martial artist to a first-rate one.
Advancing one level per day for two days had even made Abbess Dingyi marvel, giving her the urge to renounce her vows and find a man.
As for Li Hao, his progress was a bit slower, having only just crossed the threshold of Postnatal Mid-stage.
"What did you think of the one just now?" Li Hao whispered into Yi Lin's ear.
"She, she's already married!" Yi Lin's body went limp, and she fell directly into Li Hao's arms.
"As long as you agree, I naturally have my ways," Li Hao said with a sinister smile that made the surrounding people's scalps tingle.
"I, I have no objections. More sisters mean more paths," Yi Lin declared. As a concubine, she had no right to object to such matters.
Even with Li Hao's immense affection for her, she felt she couldn't overstep her bounds.
"Since you agree, I'll go take care of my business. Get to bed early tonight; I might be back late," Li Hao said with a grin, patting her firm backside.
"I know. Come back early," Yi Lin pouted. Although she appeared unhappy, she was secretly overjoyed. Finally, she could get a good night's sleep.
When Li Hao was around, she had barely closed her eyes all night. The process of improving her strength had been filled with tears.
So they live in the back courtyard of the Hengshan Sect. No wonder I haven't seen them all these days. Ning Zhongze, I never thought you'd be ranked in the Gallery of Beauties. Although your ranking is a bit low, even a mosquito's leg is still meat! I can't miss out on the system rewards. Li Hao mused inwardly.
Just moments ago, while strolling with Yi Lin, the system had suddenly notified him that a member of the Gallery of Beauties was nearby.
[Ning Zhongze] Rank: 965. Measurements: 91.68.89
Ning Zhongze, a renowned Heroine of Mount Hua in the martial arts world. The wife of the Hua Shan Sect leader, Gentleman Sword Yue Buqun, her Maiden Swordplay was exquisite.
From the measurements provided by the system, it was clear that Ning Zhongze was no ordinary person in her youth!
Her ability to make it into the Gallery of Beauties as a woman of mature age was proof of her extraordinary youth.
A score of 91 was something many women in this land of the East only achieved after becoming mothers.
It was a pity Yue Lingshan hadn't come along. Otherwise, with Ning Zhongze's genes, Yue Lingshan would surely have been ranked. Li Bai could have looked up Yue Lingshan's ranking, but flipping through the pages one by one was too tiring. If they met in the future, it would become clear then.
"Brother Qun, are you still going out so late?" In the back courtyard of Hengshan, all the Hua Shan disciples were housed here.
Just now, Zuo Lengchan, the sect leader of the Songshan Sect, had sent someone to invite Yue Buqun to Hengyang City for a meeting. However, the messenger didn't know the specific reason for the discussion.
"Sect Leader Zuo inviting me at this time must mean something urgent, so I can't keep him waiting. You and the disciples stay here and don't go out, to avoid any accidents," Yue Buqun instructed.
He wasn't a fool. Zuo Lengchan inviting him for a meeting at this hour and traveling to Hengyang City, dozens of miles away, clearly indicated the matter was significant. Tomorrow was Liu Zhengfeng's Golden Basin Hand-washing ceremony. It seemed like the prelude to a storm!
Seeing Yue Buqun heading out in the middle of the night to attend the meeting, Li Hao immediately became excited. You ask why he knew? Because the messenger was now in his hands, though he was already dead.
With Yue Buqun going to Hengyang City in the dead of night, he likely wouldn't be back tonight, leaving Li Hao with an entire night to himself.
"What should I use?" Li Hao took out the various miraculous elixirs gifted by the system, feeling a bit conflicted. There were too many good things, making him indecisive.
Damn it, I'm supposed to become the greatest person in this world. Using such underhanded tactics against a woman of mature age feels too despicable.
In the end, Li Hao picked up the Super Meng Han Powder and drifted towards the rooms of the Hua Shan disciples.
Li Hao's Treading Snow Without a Trace was unparalleled. After he administered a dose of Super Meng Han Powder to every Hua Shan disciple, including Linghu Chong, it only took him fifteen minutes.
With everything prepared, Li Hao slowly crept towards Ning Zhongze's room. Li Hao was unclear about Ning Zhongze's specific martial arts cultivation, but he assumed it was similar to Abbess Dingyi's, likely within his controllable range.
Li Hao's current true combat power could easily suppress anyone below Xiantian, require some effort for Postnatal Mid-stage, and kill Innate Peak with full power.
If a Grandmaster appeared, no one could catch him if he fled.
"Hmm, I hear water inside." As Li Hao reached the door, he heard the sound of rushing water.
Damn it, Ning Zhongze isn't sleeping in the middle of the night and is taking a bath. However, since she was the only one awake in the entire back courtyard, he figured nothing would go wrong.
The door was locked from the inside, but having watched many ancient costume dramas, Li Hao had some experience with such locks. He could slowly pry it open with a small knife.
Soon, the latch was moved, with only a slight sound during the process. Normally, with Ning Zhongze's cultivation, she would have heard it clearly.
Unfortunately, the sound of the water was too loud now, masking all other noises.
Li Hao slowly pushed the door open and floated inside.
Ning Zhongze's bathing area was behind a screen, and her discarded clothes were neatly folded on a chair beside the screen.
Li Hao quietly stepped past the screen, and a breathtaking scene appeared before his eyes.
Li Hao finally understood why she was still ranked despite her mature age. If it weren't for the slight bit of flesh around her belly, her ranking would have at least surpassed Yi Lin's.
This was Li Hao's conclusion after multiple comparisons.
