Immortal Only Accepts Female Disciples-Chapter 787: Side Story: New Lion Lord
Chapter 787 - Side Story: New Lion Lord
The sun rose above Beast God City, revealing a new day and a new era. Five hundred years of growth led by the three lords was over. The brief period of chaos that started with the death of the snake lord ended with the lion lord suffering terrible wounds during a mysterious battle in the east. Now, it was a new era that would be led by new people.
The lion faction's new leader was Immortal Tempest Badger Qiu Chuyi. The middle-aged man sat atop the walls of the lion castle with a frown on his face. His breakfast was cold and untouched. The servants had to bring over several fresh pots of jasmine tea. He sat there for so long that dew had collected on his hair which seemed to have become a lot grayer in the past few days.
It was uncertain what he was thinking about. Perhaps he was worried about his life and why he was spared. Or, maybe he was confused by a recent order passed down by the grand elder, an order to raise He Xingping to chief elder, a position that was above all of the other executive elders within the lion faction.
"My lord, Elder He Xingping has arrived." A servant bowed and reported.
"Bring him up. Bring fresh food."
"Yes, my lord."
A few moments later, He Xingping climbed up to the walls. His attire was different from before. The amount of golden thread in his robes was far greater, causing him to shine under the morning sun. He also seemed more energetic and spirited.
"Lord Qiu," He Xingping bowed.
"Sit. Have something to eat."
"Yes, my lord."
He Xingping sat down beside the immortal. After a brief moment, the awkwardness passed and the two men chatted about the various happenings across the city. The lion faction was adjusting to the new state of the city. They had to work together with the eagle faction on many matters. They also had to heavily support the snake faction that was just starting to rebuild. Every day, survivors would return from afar and would have to be taken care of.
"Xingping, I've always liked you." Qiu Chuyi said, "Apparently, Grand Elder Qu Shen thinks so too. He is appointing you chief elder of the lion faction, a position only below myself."
"Ah, many thanks to Lord Qiu for your confidence."
"Oh? You don't seem surprised. Did you know already?"
He Xingping smiled lightly. Of course, he already knew as he was the one who ordered the promotion. Qu Shen also didn't understand why but had to follow whatever orders passed down from Chen Wentian. With the Beast God Sanctum in this state, it was natural for him to let one of his souls gain more power and influence. He also had other plans for He Xingping in the future.
"I did. I happened to overhear it by chance." frёeweɓηovel.coɱ
Qiu Chuyi snorted and took a sip of tea, "Brat, you've hidden yourself well. I didn't realize you knew so many people. I was surprised when Mei Qiaofeng visited your manor. She showed you a lot of face."
"Haha, just a small matter. We are old friends."
Qiu Chuyi waved his hand, "You're right. It's just a small matter. The more important matter is this."
He reached into his spatial bag and pulled out a small stack of paper scrolls, "Your new status is a very important one. But your foundation is a little lacking. The grand elder has offered me a list of suitable candidates to expand your household so that you may firmly sit upon the position of chief elder."
"???"
Chen Wentian was surprised. This wasn't something he had ordered Qu Shen to do. It seemed that the old man had quite the imagination. He pulled open several scrolls in quick succession and they confirmed his suspicions. They were all candidates for marriage.
"Xingping. You still have time. Have some more children and your house will prosper for many generations. I know it will be tough on Jingyi. But she is a member of the Qiu Clan, I am sure she will understand."
Chen Wentian didn't reply and studied the scrolls. He wasn't sure what to think but looking didn't hurt.
The first one had a painting of a young woman. She was tall and slender, with flowing black hair, a classical beauty. She reminded him of Li Yuechan, just not as beautiful. She was from the Gu Clan, the same one as Immortal Sky Monkey Gu Lan. She was twenty-two years old and at the 6th Level of the Mind Focusing Realm, a considerable talent and a top prospect for any man to take as his first wife.
The second one was another young woman. She was shorter but had a cherubic face, very similar to Su Xue or Su Yue. She was very cute and easy to fall in love with. She was from the Tie Clan, one of the few relatives of Immortal Dust Scorpion Tie Buqun who managed to escape the massacre. In terms of talent, she was even better, being twenty years old and at the 5th Level of the Mind Focusing Realm.
Chen Wentian flipped through a few more scrolls of young women before he saw some older ones.
There was a beauty in her early thirties. She was from the same clan as Immortal Wolf Hunter Nan Lang. She had a fierceness about her like a wolf. This made her beauty even more striking in a unique way that was unlike any of Chen Wentian's disciples.
Another woman in her early thirties was from the same He Clan as He Xingping, a distant relative. The most attractive thing about her was her enormous breasts which couldn't be hidden, even by the most conservative dress. The way her chest bulged outward in the painting was fascinating to the imagination.
Chen Wentian smiled to himself, a little wryly. They were all beauties. Big or small, tall or short, he loved women of all shapes and sizes. They were all attractive and teased at his inner desires. He was a pervert at heart.
"Ahem," He coughed awkwardly, "Do I have to choose... one?"
Qiu Chuyi laughed, "What? Is one not enough? The Grand Elder gave you these women. I suppose you can choose as many as you want. Haha, as long as you can bear it, do what you want. You are a chief elder now."
Chen Wentian laughed as well. He would be lying if he said he wasn't tempted. Sex was always fun. Having sex through his souls gave him new experiences, experiences he might not be able to have with his disciples. There were many virgins among the scrolls which always held a strange attraction to all men, the fact that he would be able to be their one and only tugged at his animalistic instincts to conquer and possess.
However, as he was considering the scrolls in his hands, another thought came to his mind. It was not a thought born of his primary soul that was busy thinking about weird things most of the time. It came from his soul which had merged with He Xingping.
This soul was Chen Wentian, just as his main soul was Chen Wentian. They were one and the same but they sometimes had different thoughts because they came from different backgrounds. He Xingping was a hardworking man and a devoted husband. He loved his wife and her only. He had never taken a concubine or even a mistress. It was this personality that let the lion lord trust him and promote him executive elder. It was also due to He Xingping's persistence that Qiu Jingyi was finally able to get pregnant.
After a long consideration, Chen Wentian sighed and put down the scrolls. He could be wild with his other souls. But he couldn't with this soul. It would be too cruel and he wasn't a cruel person.
"What? You don't like any of them?" Qiu Chuyi asked.
"No, it's not that." Chen Wentian shook his head, "My family life is harmonious. I've decided, I don't need to invite more people."
"This... this is the grand elder's intention." Qiu Chuyi emphasized.
"I know. Don't worry, my lord. I will explain it to the grand elder and take full responsibility. There are other ways for me to solidify my position. I will think of a way."
Seeing the firmness in He Xingping's expression, Qiu Chuyi shook his head. "You..."
Chen Wentian stood up and bowed, "My lord Qiu, please excuse me."
"Whatever, go. Do what you want."
Chen Wentian turned and left with a smile on his face. He had already thought of a plan, a better way to handle the situation.
Jasmine had taken back He Zicheng's blessing into her control plate. What would happen if she used that blessing on He Xingping? He would be able to reach the Spirit Lord Realm. After all, He Xingping's talent was not bad. And even without Jasmine's special blessing, he could still push He Xingping into the immortal realms with his soul arts. Using both methods, success was all but ensured.
"Hmph, chief elder?" He mused, "Actually, it will be better to just be the new lion lord!"
