The Li Family's Top Priority Is Marriage and Procreation

[Year 51 of the Li Family.]

Looking at the time in the game and then at the now 21-year-old Li Yunbing, Li Xiang's mouth twitched.

The members of the Li Family were also stunned.

Li Yunbing was excellent in every way, but his "Heart of an Innocent Child" trait meant he rarely went out; he was either cultivating or being tossed into the Death-Stilling Heavenly Coffin to train.

At such a young age, he had already reached the ninth level of Qi Refining and was about to go into seclusion to break through!

Among Li Yaotie's seven sons, even 9-year-old Li Yunlie knew about the affairs between men and women. Yet, this kid Li Yunbing simply didn't understand.

"Sex education brooks no delay."

Li Xiang rubbed his chin, contemplating whether to replicate scenes from adult films onto Spirit Stones to benefit his descendants during the next Grand Sacrifice, allowing the Li Family descendants to bravely venture into the "Western" sector.

Soon, Li Dalong and Li Yaozu pulled Li Yunbing into a corner and began explaining something in detail.

They talked until Li Yunbing was completely bewildered, nodding solemnly and earnestly the entire time...

Li Xiang suddenly wished Li Yunbing could be a bit more lecherous; he was starting to worry about Li Yunbing's prospects for the rest of his life.

Meanwhile, Li Yaotie had already begun gathering the five sons he had fathered.

"As someone who has been through it, Dad will teach you how to find a wife. It's simple. When you see a woman you like, just squat at her doorstep for a few days. Don't be shy. We aren't even afraid of fighting powerful enemies, so why be afraid of pestering a woman?"

Li Yaotie even lifted his head with a hint of pride, "Once you've made them accustomed to your presence, tell them that you might die tomorrow. That way, their sympathy will overflow..."

"Ah!!!"

Before he could finish his sentence.

Li Yaotie's ear was already being pinched. Bai Rourou glared at the screaming Li Yaotie with a dark expression, "Are you looking to die? Oh, so that's the method you used back then? Don't even think about sleeping in the bed this month!"

"Wife... I absolutely didn't! I was just teaching the kids, really! I'm sincere about you! Besides, back then, you were the one who invited me inside!"

"You still dare to bring that up?"

For a moment, the entire Li Family watched the couple bicker, the room filled with laughter.

Li Xiang, this ancestor, had been worried sick about the family's reproduction. Seeing Li Dalong and his wife helping to urge them to marry, he finally set his hanging heart at ease.

Moreover, with the appearance of the "Raging Fire of the Ancestor."

He understood the importance of the Li Family descendants even more. Right now, the Ancestral Tablets of a dozen members could make two False Core Stage cultivators scramble in fear. If there were a hundred...

Instant-killing False Core Stage cultivators and looking down upon the Golden Core Stage would no longer be a dream!

Not only that.

Li Xiang had calculated that with the family and their wives, there were now 16 members in total, which could already provide him with 4,000 Incense points every year.

His consumption of Incense points was increasing more and more these days.

Making babies brooked no delay!

After urging them to marry, Li Xiang began to review the gains from this battle. He estimated that when Li Yaowen sent people to cross counties to raid the Dragon Tiger Sect, they could obtain quite a few benefits, though because of the distance, their spirit mines and medicine fields could not be harvested.

The people of the Dragon Tiger Sect didn't have anything on them that the Li Family members found particularly impressive; their weapons were all just magical artifacts.

However, their cultivation technique did give Li Xiang a pleasant surprise.

"Good stuff!"

[Yellow-grade Technique: Life-Sleeve Blood-Guiding Technique]

[The closer the bloodline, the more the power can be multiplied. The deeper the practice, the stronger the power!]

"So that's the method the Dragon and Tiger brothers were practicing. Hahaha, you are simply the lucky stars of the Li Family!"

When he was fighting with the tablets earlier, Li Xiang could feel it.

Those Dragon and Tiger brothers used some unknown technique to unleash a blood-boiling combo that nearly shattered one of his Ancestral Tablets!

And that was with only two of them.

The Li Family... had nine children. The seven children born to Li Yaotie had the closest bloodlines; if all seven cultivated this technique together, the power would be infinite!

Li Yaotie had also given this technique to the children to practice, and Li Yunbing was practicing it too.

Even Li Yunlin, who was far away at the Litian Sect, had received a copy.

At this moment.

Litian Sect.

Li Yunlin was already a personal disciple.

In his courtyard, outer sect disciples served as his attendants, and inner sect disciples ran errands for him.

Just now, he had received a thick stack of letters from home.

When the night was quiet, Li Yunlin finally dared to open the letters to read them.

Seeing his family's concern for him, Li Yunlin's eyes turned red.

He had long since known about the Dragon Tiger Sect invading the Li Family, and had even left his sect to return home that very day, but upon receiving news of the Dragon Tiger Sect's entire membership mysteriously vanishing halfway there, he had turned back.

And now...

The family letter contained not a single word about the predicament at home, only urging him to focus on his cultivation at the Litian Sect, claiming the Li Family would always be his strongest shield.

Even his father's letter told him not to return unless absolutely necessary.

How could Li Yunlin not know that his father was afraid he would be intercepted and killed by the Xuanwu Sect on his way back?

Inside the letter was also a manual for the Life-Sleeve Blood-Guiding Technique.

Beyond that.

There was a letter from his third uncle, spouting nonsense about how women were easy to trick, urging him to get married and have children quickly, and if he couldn't catch a wife, he should just claim he was dying tomorrow... He feared his younger brothers had likely heard such drivel, and he wondered what fool would ever believe it.

That night.

For the first time, Li Yunlin had someone bring him spirit wine; he drank until he was dead drunk and vomited his guts out.

"Ancestors, Grandfather, Grandmother, Father, and Aunt and Uncle, Yunlin will return. The Litian Sect is not my home; they only value my talent, I understand that."

"But only by staying in the Litian Sect can I steal their secrets and bring them back to the family. Now that chaos has erupted, I must also make good use of the Litian Sect to dispel disasters and resolve troubles for my Li Family."

"Child... may the ancestors protect me..."

In the resplendent room, Li Yunlin looked at the many precious items around him, yet he felt the family letter he clutched while sleeping was more valuable than the entire Litian Sect. This was also the most peaceful night of sleep he had ever had.

[Li Family Year 52]

In the blink of an eye, the New Year arrived.

Li Xiang's urging for marriage had indeed proven effective!

Among Li Yaotie's seven children, Li Yundou had reached 17, possessing much of his father's style. Of course, this wasn't just about his physique—after all, Li Yaotie's lineage was full of broad-shouldered, thick-waisted folk, and the women were no exception. They were all remarkably similar to their parents in temperament; if there were heroes of Mount Liang in this world, these seven would certainly claim a place among them.

Li Yundou's resemblance was such that he had actually taken Li Yaotie's words to heart.

[Your third-generation descendant, Li Yundou, fell in love at first sight with a beautiful woman in the village and asked her on the spot to bear him a child, only to be slapped across the face. He was reported to the Li Family, and Li Yaowen punished him with three lashes and seven days of kneeling before the ancestral tablets.]

[Li Yundou tried to woo her again with great fervor, claiming he would die the next day and asking the woman to take him into her room. He was beaten again and punished by being hung up in the village for three days as a warning.]

[In October of that year, Li Yundou reached the 7th level of Qi Refining.]

[Just as the Tailin Chen Family was being harassed by Qingyun, the Li Family joined the Black Blood Hall to assist the Chen Family, fighting the enemy together. During the conflict, he was pursued by a Foundation Establishment Early Stage expert. While fleeing, he shared life and death with the Chen daughter, Chen Lin, and was ultimately saved by the Ancestral Tablet. During this time, feelings blossomed between him and Chen Lin.]

[In November, the Li Family sent betrothal gifts to the Chen Family.]

"Finally, someone in the third generation has stepped up!"

Li Xiang jumped up in excitement!

Why wouldn't he be anxious?

Li Yunlin of the third generation was already 31. Forget about any romantic developments; with so many women in the Litian Sect who looked like celestial beings, the boy wouldn't even spare them a glance. If Li Yunlin didn't also ignore handsome men, Li Xiang would have almost misunderstood!

Li Yunbing had listened, but he was shy and timid by nature and rarely socialized with outsiders. While some women had thrown themselves at Li Yunbing due to his status and appearance, could he really accept that kind of person?

Not long after.

The scene was already decked out in festive decorations. Even though the outside world was chaotic, the Li Family still brought people to Tailin Town to welcome the bride. The Chen Family was even more anxious than the Li Family, as their own clan had nearly been wiped out once already; the only reason they could stand firm in Tailin Town was because the Li Family was loyal.

Now that the two families were united in marriage, and the golden boy and jade girl were truly in love, the Chen Family was so moved they were ready to change their surname to Li on the spot.

At the wedding banquet.

Chen Chuang, who had originally formed a bond with the Li Family, now had white hair; he was the current head of the Chen Family and Chen Lin's grandfather.

Though it was a joyous occasion, he looked troubled. Taking advantage of the banquet, he said to Li Dalong, "Brother Li, the people from Qingyun County are becoming increasingly arrogant. Our Chen Family's mineral assets outside of Tailin Town have all been seized, and their appetites only grow larger. Our Chen Family... alas, I fear we cannot hold on much longer."

Beside him, the Su Family head also shook his head and sighed, "My Su Family is the same. A few months ago, two False Core Stage experts even came to harass us in the middle of the night. Our family's grand formation was left in tatters. If not for a hidden trump card, the Su Family would have been destroyed under my, Su Tianyun's, watch."

Li Dalong narrowed his eyes.

He knew these two families must be asking for something, otherwise they wouldn't be complaining to him. He smiled and said, "Speak your minds, both of you. Our three families have known each other for many years, we know each other inside and out, and we have stood together against common enemies. There is no need for pretense; you know my, Li Dalong's, temperament."

"Good, since you say so, Brother-in-law, I won't hold back!"

Chen Chuang gritted his teeth and said, "I want the Chen Family to carry on, Brother Li. I don't want Tailin Town anymore. The foundation and heritage have been mostly destroyed anyway. I want to take my people, move everything, and leave Taiqing County!"

Li Dalong's brow furrowed deeper as he looked at Su Yun.

Su Yun gave a bitter smile. "I am the same."

"You want to leave?!!"

He had expected these two families to ask for help, but he never imagined hearing such news. Li Dalong's eyes widened like copper bells. "You can just abandon your family business of so many years?"

"What else can we do? Sit and wait for annihilation?"

Chen Chuang drained a pot of wine in one gulp. "Assets can be rebuilt if they are lost, but if people die, they are truly gone. It's just that after we leave, the Li Family will need to be careful. Everything we leave behind, and all of Tailin, will belong to the Li Family. I hope the Li Family will take good care of the people of Tailin; this is not our root, but it is theirs."

Hearing this, Li Dalong saw that their minds were made up and had no words to persuade them otherwise.

With his old friends leaving, he could only watch his grandson get married with a heavy heart, trying to shift his focus.

He looked toward the wedding banquet.

Li Yundou looked at Chen Lin, who was wearing a red veil and only reached his chest, and burst into loud, wailing sobs on the spot.

The members of the Li Family frowned, wanting to say that while it was unseemly for a woman to cry, what did it look like for a man to be bawling like this?

This nine-foot-tall man looked pitifully aggrieved as he looked at his brothers and sisters and shouted, "Old Man is truly a piece of work! You must never believe him; that will only lead you to follow in my footsteps!"

"He even said that as long as you pester a girl and trick her into thinking you're going to die tomorrow, you can win the beauty's heart."

"It's fake, it's all fake! Do you know how much I've suffered this past year..."

"But I finally met Lin'er!"

Li Yaotie, who had been sitting in the distance appearing to laugh, now looked as if he had turned to stone. His face gradually darkened, and he held his wine cup, unsure whether he should drink or put it down.

Finally, under the gaze of everyone at the wedding banquet, he gritted his teeth and glared at the groom, Li Yundou.

"Shut your mouth, don't make me beat you up on such a happy day, you damn brat!"

In an instant, the wedding banquet erupted into raucous laughter.

Hearing her husband's tearful complaints, Chen Lin lifted her bridal veil, revealing a delicate face like a snow lotus. She then reached out and viciously pinched Li Yundou's ear. "What did you say? You actually dared to flirt with other girls?"

"Ah!"

Li Yundou grimaced in pain. "No, that was just me being tricked by Old Man in the past! I absolutely haven't done that now!"

"Hahaha!"

Whether it was the members of the Li Family or the guests at the banquet, everyone was beaming with smiles.

Li Xiang, watching everything from behind the screen, saw the words 'Husband and wife bow to each other, enter the bridal chamber' light up.

The corners of his mouth stretched almost to his ears.

[Congratulations, your third-generation descendant Li Yundou has married Chen Lin!]

[Obtained Incense +100!]

And furthermore...

As the newlyweds entered the bridal chamber, the candlelight from within shone through the window to meet the bright moon outside.

[Your descendant Li Yundou is a newlywed, having tasted the sweetness of love and finding it tireless. Seven times in one night is no longer just a legend; this battle surpasses any victory Li Yundou and Chen Lin have achieved while slaying enemies in Tailin Town.]

[With the first crow of the rooster, the Li Family's third-generation daughter-in-law, Chen Lin, is pregnant with the Li Family's seed!]
