Chapter 383 - 160: Another Ten Years in the Blink of an Eye

That night, during dinner.

Xu Lei’s wives and concubines couldn’t help but remark that his recent Cultivation had been far too arduous. They insisted on making him extra food and added that Qing Lian must be exhausted as well.

This made Qing Lian a little embarrassed.

Of course, Xu Lei’s wives and concubines didn’t really mind if he took another woman. In fact, since all four of them were pregnant, they had even been thinking of finding him a new wife.

However, Xu Lei stopped them. After all, he already had plenty of children and didn’t feel the need to have so many more in this lifetime.

For pleasure, having Qing Lian was now more than enough. He could enjoy himself while also rapidly increasing his Power. There was no need to get involved with other mortal women.

So, Xu Lei simply called his four wives and concubines over and performed a round of Charitable Giving to Qing Lian right in front of them.

Through a door, of course.

The main point was to let them know that Qing Lian was also his woman, so they could stop trying to find more women for him.

Although Xu Lei’s four wives and concubines were stunned, they didn’t say anything in the end.

Xu Lei’s mother was also very happy that Qing Lian had become Xu Lei’s woman, though she found it a bit hard to believe.

After all, in his mother’s eyes, Qing Lian was mysterious, powerful, and extraordinary. She never thought someone like that would be willing to become Xu Lei’s woman.

And this was with him already having four mortal wives and concubines.

Xu Lei just smiled and didn’t explain. ’What other reason could there be? It’s because I’m just that awesome!’

It was true. If Xu Lei wasn’t so awesome, Qing Lian wouldn’t have offered herself to him for the sake of revenge. She might have sought out some other powerful expert.

Of course, other powerful experts probably wouldn’t have agreed. After all, dealing with such a foe would come at a great personal cost, and others lacked Xu Lei’s unique methods.

And if it weren’t for the emotional foundation she had with Xu Lei from the past ten-plus years, she probably wouldn’t have come to him. She might have chosen to cultivate slowly on her own and wait for her chance at revenge.

「Another half-month passed in the blink of an eye.」

The explosives were finally all prepared.

And on this day, something unexpected happened to Xu Lei. While he was cultivating, his Qi surged, and he broke through another Small Realm, reaching Tier Four of the Bodhisattva Light Realm.

Qing Lian was naturally very happy about this. The stronger Xu Lei became, the greater their chances of success when it came time for revenge.

Although Xu Lei didn’t rely solely on his own Magical Power, being stronger was, of course, always an advantage.

To that end, Qing Lian had Xu Lei perform another frantic round of Charitable Giving to her, as a celebratory ritual for his breakthrough.

Xu Lei didn’t refuse and gave her a frenzied round of Charitable Giving.

It sent her soaring with pleasure.

Xu Lei understood that the reason he had broken through to the next Realm so quickly was because of the energy from Qing Lian’s Primordial Yin.

「Then, a few days later.」

With everything ready, Xu Lei and Qing Lian set off to get her revenge.

The one who had caused the death of Qing Lian’s mother was an old Daoist.

He knew about Qing Lian’s Innate Spirit Body and wanted to possess her. A conflict erupted when Qing Lian’s mother tried to protect her daughter.

Later, another fight broke out over a rare treasure: a Spirit Ginseng.

In the end, Qing Lian’s mother managed to snatch it, but she was injured in the process.

Qing Lian had already consumed that Spirit Ginseng.

That was why Xu Lei had been constantly receiving energy from Qing Lian during their recent Cultivation sessions. It wasn’t just because of her Innate Spirit Body.

And so, Xu Lei and Qing Lian continued on their journey.

They passed through eight cities.

Along the way, Xu Lei and Qing Lian naturally engaged in their Charitable Giving Cultivation from time to time.

Sometimes in the carriage.

Sometimes in an inn.

Sometimes in the mountain forest.

Sometimes by a stream.

In just a month or two, Qing Lian had transformed from a pure, sheltered maiden into an uninhibited and alluring little Bodhisattva.

For instance, on the day they reached their destination city, Qing Lian was still in the carriage, presenting her rear and begging Xu Lei for more.

"We’re about to reach the city and get our revenge. You still want more Charitable Giving now?" Xu Lei couldn’t help but ask.

"That old bastard is being watched. He’s not going anywhere. One more round of Charitable Giving, Senior," Qing Lian said.

Xu Lei could only obey, giving her one more round of Charitable Giving.

Only then did they enter the city together.

Before long, they saw a young Monk.

This was the informant Qing Lian had mentioned, the one helping to keep an eye on the murdererous old man.

The young man was quite handsome. When he faced Qing Lian, Xu Lei could see the faint adoration in his eyes.

A pity. This man was destined never to have Qing Lian. After all, she was Xu Lei’s woman now.

’Can only blame him for not being awesome enough,’ Xu Lei thought. ’Otherwise, Qing Lian could have just gone to him directly instead of seeking me out.’

After learning that the old man hadn’t left, Xu Lei and Qing Lian began to plan how to take him down.

That night, the two of them discussed the plan thoroughly.

Then, in the dead of night, Xu Lei naturally engaged in another frenzied session of Charitable Giving with Qing Lian.

For some reason, the thought of the young Monk’s adoring gaze on Qing Lian that day made Xu Lei feel especially vigorous in his Charitable Giving.

This left Qing Lian completely bewildered, with no idea why Xu Lei had suddenly become so intense.

「The next day.」

Xu Lei and Qing Lian put their plan into action.

They spread a false rumor about a Spirit Monster, attempting to lure the old man to a manor on the outskirts of the city.

Unexpectedly, the old man actually fell for the bait.

The old man was still very cautious. He scanned the area thoroughly, only proceeding after confirming there were no ambush Arrays.

But what he didn’t know was that Xu Lei had already filled the place with explosives.

Explosives were not an Array at all.

As soon as the old man arrived, Xu Lei lit the fuse and detonated the explosives.
