Protect Our Patriarch

The personality of my wife after transformation is completely different from before. One is gentle as water and never cares about anything, while the other is as cold as ice, with an extremely volatile temper.

Even Wang Shouzhe, with his state of mind and strength, couldn't help but feel a faint palpitation under her gaze. Judging from the combat power she had previously demonstrated, although there was still some gap compared to the Heavenly Human Realm, she was probably among the top tier of local spiritual platform cultivators.

Compared to Ancestor Long Yan and even Ancestor Beichen, she was not inferior at all. Therefore, seeing this, Ancestor Long Yan didn't try to mediate anymore, but simply found an excuse to leave, letting the young couple solve their problems. Firstly, she couldn't persuade them. Secondly, she had been in this situation before and had suffered.

With Wang Shouzhe's confidence, he also felt that his chances of defeating Liu Ruolan after her transformation were less than thirty percent. He couldn't help but feel helpless. Could it be that he was really going to be beaten up by his wife today?

"Wang Shouzhe, what are you looking around for?" Liu Ruolan's eyes were cold, "Are you trying to run away?"

This?

Suddenly!

A light bulb went off in Wang Shouzhe's head.

Right, if it were her previous temper, if she really wanted to pick a fight with him, she would have drawn her sword and attacked him already. Unlike now, she was still speaking in a harsh tone.

Immediately, Wang Shouzhe regained his composure and spoke to her in a gentle tone: "My dear, what I did just now was a last resort in a desperate situation. If you are really angry, why not vent your anger by hitting me?"

"Hmph!" Liu Ruolan's eyes turned cold, "Remember, you are not allowed to marry a concubine, especially not Liu Ruolei. Even if she agrees, you are not allowed. Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude."

"This..." Wang Shouzhe was speechless, and honestly said, "Don't worry, my dear, I really don't have that intention."

With that, her face looked slightly better. Then she looked Wang Shouzhe up and down: "And what you said just now..."

"I didn't mean it." Wang Shouzhe's face turned serious, and he quickly shook his head like a rattle, "I was just trying to provoke you, I was making up..."

"I agree."

"Make..." Wang Shouzhe's word was swallowed back, and he stared dumbfounded at Liu Ruolan after her transformation.

"What are you standing there for?" Liu Ruolan, with an overwhelming aura, grabbed Wang Shouzhe and floated down towards the bottom of the Eagle Fall Gorge, finally landing on a small black-awning boat docked at the port.

The small boat moved on its own, propelled by the Xuan Qi, it sped towards the center of An River like a speedboat.

In a short while.

The small boat began to shake violently.

From inside came the faint sound of Wang Shouzhe's voice, "My dear, what, what are you doing?"

Then quickly, the small boat shook even more violently. In the wave-ridden An River, it floated and swayed like a leaf.

......

Some time later!

Huangfu's Clan main residence in Changning.

The Clan Head, Huangfu Jin, was in a good mood today. He even drank some spiritual wine and was lying tipsy in his grandmaster's chair.

Two young maids of similar age were serving him, one massaging his legs and shoulders, the other serving tea and water. These two maids were both women with low cultivation potential.

But their status was not high, even if they had children with Huangfu Jin, they would only be considered illegitimate, their status far inferior to the legitimate line, even less than the direct line.

Today, the Ancestor went out to handle affairs, and everything was arranged and managed by him, there would be no problems.

The Ancestor was a cultivator of the Heavenly Human Realm, in this small Changning, he could almost do whatever he wanted. With him taking action, how could things not go well?

Huangfu's Clan in Changning will usher in a new situation.

And he, Huangfu Jin, as the legitimate Clan Head, will also get his chance, having the qualifications to try for the Heavenly Human Realm. You should know that before, while maintaining the family situation, they could only afford one Heavenly Human seed.

And who would be the Heavenly Human seed, not only depends on the potential, but also on luck. Each cycle of Heavenly Human transition is around two hundred years. The further the birth time is from the cycle point, the less chance there is.

The reason is simple, it's "poverty"!

To cultivate a Heavenly Human Realm cultivator, it requires a huge amount of resources. Just the resources to support his early sprint are far beyond what ordinary cultivators can afford. And to advance to the Heavenly Human Realm, that "Ascension Pill" needed for breaking through to the Heavenly Human Realm, is a astronomical figure of several hundred thousand Top Gold.

Even for a Heavenly Human family, to save up this several hundred thousand Top Gold, it takes a long time to accumulate. Don't look at the large family assets and various incomes of the Heavenly Human family, but how much does it cost to maintain the current situation every year?

There are more than a dozen spiritual platform cultivators in the family, and their annual support is a huge expense. In addition, they need to cultivate the younger generation of successors to maintain the prosperity of the Heavenly Human family.

By the way, the app I've been using recently supports both Android and Apple phones!

A Heavenly Human family that can be passed down is not just supported by the Ancestor alone. The whole family, inside and out, is a huge and operating whole.

Even the most capable Ancestor can't support it alone!

In fact, most of the time, the Ancestor is just a mascot, placed there for people to worship, or even to deter opponents.

For this reason, don't look at Huangfu's Clan in Changning occupying half of Changning, looking glamorous on the outside, but if they want to come up with several hundred thousand Top Gold all at once, they still have to scramble around.

This is the current situation. If it were the decades after Ancestor Huaye just completed the Heavenly Human transition, that would be the poorest stage of Huangfu's Clan. Every year when there is some surplus, it has to be used to repay various mortgages and loans.

From this, it can be seen that the development of a family absolutely cannot do without the support of resources. And where do resources come from? It still depends on economic income.

If the economy is not enough, no matter how good the potential is, if the two bloodlines are awakened at birth, the advancement of cultivation will be very slow, and over time, it will be lost in the crowd.

There are countless commoners in Daqian, haven't there been children born with good potential?

Of course there have been!

Most of them, however, didn't even have the chance to test their spiritual potential, and ended up muddling through life at the bottom.

"Wang's Clan, oh Wang's Clan, with the cement industry in your hands, it's like a pearl covered in dust." Huangfu Jin Huan's eyes flickered with excitement, "Only when it's in the hands of our Huangfu's Clan can it truly shine. Then, our Huangfu's Clan will rise..."

Before he could finish his sentence, a figure shot from the sky and crashed into a house with a loud bang, shattering it. The sound was like a meteorite falling.

"What happened?"

Huangfu Jin Huan was startled and rushed out, along with the night watchmen, to the scene of the incident.

Then, he was dumbfounded.

The one who fell like a meteor was none other than the important pillar of Huangfu's Clan - Ancestor Huaye. At this moment, Ancestor Huaye was in a terrible state, his body covered in veins, in extreme pain, with shards of foreign sword energy roaming around his organs.

"Ancestor, what happened to you?"

"Jin Huan, we've been defeated this time! Wang's Clan, Xu's Clan of Changning, Wang Shouzhe, you won't die a good death!" Huangfu Huaye roared like a mad beast.

Huangfu Jin Huan was stunned, how could they have failed, how could they!

It took him a while to react, and he quickly ordered his men, "Quick, help the Ancestor back, and call for the doctor."

The Ancestor's condition was very bad, his injuries severe, which made Huangfu Jin Huan panic. The Ancestor had always been the pillar of Huangfu's Clan, the important pillar in everyone's mind.

But now that the Ancestor was in trouble, it felt like the sky was falling for Huangfu's Clan.

...

On the An River.

A small boat docked by the river, next to a hidden pier.

Wang Shouzhe, in tattered clothes, looked at Liu Ruolan, who was also disheveled, with a complex expression.

After tidying herself up as if nothing had happened, she warned Wang Shouzhe coldly, "She must not know about this."

Wang Shouzhe knew exactly who she was referring to, and he didn't argue.

"Next time you want to find me, just call me Liu Ruoling." She said in a somewhat domineering tone, "And don't say those nonsense."

Liu Ruoling?

Wang Shouzhe was speechless and bitter, she even had a name now, was it a split personality or two souls in one body?

Was it the problem caused by that innate Taoist fetus?

According to Ancestor Xuanfu, that innate Taoist fetus was obtained from the ruins of the Shenwu Dynasty, which she got when she followed her master to fight in a high-level dungeon.

The Shenwu Dynasty sounded very advanced, and everything about it was very powerful, a very advanced civilization.

But the more Wang Shouzhe learned about it, the more he realized that there was something wrong with that dynasty.

The things they created were all bizarre. Take his bloodthirsty vine for example, it was very evil.

And the wedding blood gu in his nephew Wang Zongchang, although it ultimately changed his bloodline and destiny. But no matter how you look at it, that wedding blood gu was full of evil.

That Shenwu Dynasty was so evil, its destruction might have something to do with their internal problems.

He had to be more careful when dealing with things from the Shenwu Dynasty in the future.

As Wang Shouzhe was lost in thought, the blue light in Liu Ruolan's eyes faded, and her hair miraculously turned back to black. She looked around in confusion, noticed her clothes were disheveled, and then looked at Wang Shouzhe, who was also in a mess,

"Husband, what happened to me just now?" Liu Ruolan asked curiously.

"You were too tired and fell asleep." Wang Shouzhe calmly adjusted his clothes, "So I brought you back."

"Husband, even though we're married, you can't do strange things to me when I'm asleep, right?" Liu Ruolan looked at Wang Shouzhe with a strange look in her eyes, as if she was a little unhappy.

It wasn't me who did strange things to you, it was actually you who did...

Forget it!

Wang Shouzhe quickly called out, "Liu Ruoling." It was really hard to explain in this situation.

Then, her eyes turned back to the cold blue, and she stared at Wang Shouzhe, "What do you want?"

"I just wanted to try..." Wang Shouzhe looked at her in surprise, "It seems to work quite well, never mind, there's nothing, clean up the scene and you can go back."

"..." Liu Ruoling, "Wang Shouzhe, you're asking for death!"

Then, the boat started to shake violently again, as if it was about to fall apart.

...
