102: She is different!

Outer Sect Law Enforcement Hall.

A decree from Ancestor Qingyun arrived.

'The matter of Liu Xuan choosing a Dao Companion is supported by Ancestor Qingyun. All those who slander or report him are slandering, and it must be strictly investigated whether these people have acted illegally.'

Ancestor Qingyun personally stepped in to support Liu Xuan, and all negative news instantly disappeared.

Aside from the Foundation Establishment Ancestors who were curious about what Lin Qingyun was up to, everyone else only dared to gossip privately, not daring to escalate it to a level that violated Sect rules.

As soon as this matter came out, even more people went to Liu Qingqing at the Dual Cultivation Hall to sign up!

..."Why can't I sign up?"

"Although I've had a Dao Companion, we broke up a long time ago. Once we broke up, I'm innocent!"

A middle-aged female Cultivator shouted and threw a tantrum at Liu Qingqing.

"Forget it! Sister Wang, wasn't your Dao Companion separated just yesterday?"

"Hahahaha!"

...The people watching the show nearby burst into laughter.

This Sister Wang was also a prominent figure in the Dual Cultivation Hall, known for seducing and deceiving naive new Disciples who had just joined the Sect.

"Besides, with your ordinary looks, Talisman Master Liu wouldn't even look at you!"

"Hahahaha!"

Everyone burst into another round of mockery.

As the crowd laughed and chatted, an exceptionally beautiful person walked over, and everyone subconsciously quieted down.

"Yang Hanyun, you wouldn't also want to sign up, would you?" someone asked in surprise.

"Fellow Daoist, do you know this person? Such exquisite beauty, why have I never seen him before?"

"Are you interested?"

"Yes!"

"I, like Talisman Master Liu, am very fond of beauty! Unfortunately, I don't have his strength, so I can only feast my eyes."

"He is not a beautiful woman, but... a beautiful man!"

"Ah?!"

"Ugh~"

This person immediately felt physical discomfort, and all interest vanished... The next day.

After some deliberation, Liu Xuan finally selected nine Dao Companions. Five of them were Dao Academy students who had just turned eighteen this year, and four were female Disciples from previous years.

Including Liu Qingqing, it made a perfect ten people, and Liu Qingqing led them to the Talisman Masters Small Building.

Among the ten female Cultivators, besides Liu Qingqing, only two were particularly valued by Liu Xuan.

One was named Jiang Xiaoyou, with a pure and delicate appearance, seeming pitiful. She had a seventh-grade Spiritual Root and came from an ordinary family. It was said that her parents were seriously ill, and she relied on relatives' assistance to complete her studies and participate in the Sect assessment.

Another was named Yuan Fei, who had joined the Sect five years ago, was at Qi Refining Second Layer Perfection, and also had a seventh-grade Spiritual Root. Her figure was extremely perfect, with a pair of long, well-proportioned, and full legs. Liu Xuan took a liking to her at first glance.

Liu Xuan's selection of Dao Companions seemed lively, but in reality, only low-level female Disciples from the outer Sect participated. True Geniuses rarely cared.

After all, it was about having children, and truly gifted female Cultivators simply couldn't accept it.

Liu Xuan also rented another Talisman Masters Small Building next door, intending to settle these people there first.

Lin Xue'er had many children, and if they all moved in, it would not only be crowded but also inconvenient for many things.

Worshiping Heaven and Earth!

Making vows!

The wedding ceremony was simple. The most important part was for both parties to swear on their cultivation path, to advance hand in hand, and not to hinder each other's cultivation path.

The vows had little binding power and depended entirely on individual character. Some Geniuses worried about affecting their Dao Heart in the future, so the binding power was a bit stronger for them.

Liu Xuan heard that the Dao Companion relationships among high-level Cultivators would swear on their Dao Heart, and once betrayed, they would suffer a Heart Demon backlash. He didn't know if it was true or false.

Strictly speaking, these women were not Liu Xuan's true Dao Companions; they could only be considered Concubines. The ceremony was even simpler, completed in less than half an hour.

The ceremony is complete!

Liu Xuan looked at the ten young maidens in the hall, all wearing identical crimson wedding gowns, and for a moment, he didn't know where to start.

"Yuan Fei and Jiang Xiaoyou stay, the rest of you go back and rest first," Liu Xuan instructed.

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

...A hint of resentment flashed across Liu Qingqing's pretty face, and she felt even more unwilling. Liu Xuan must have disliked her for being old!

Bedroom.

Large bed.

Yuan Fei's seductive long legs had a strong visual impact, forming a sharp contrast with the delicate and lovely Jiang Xiaoyou, who resembled a small white flower, beside her.

"Husband, I heard that if I get pregnant, my monthly stipend will double. Is that true?" Yuan Fei asked, her breath like orchids.

"Naturally, it's true!"

Yuan Fei smiled sweetly, "Husband is so good!"

With Liu Xuan's personal promise, Yuan Fei's face was filled with smiles.

Currently, the monthly stipend was five Spirit Stones a month; after doubling, it would be ten Spirit Stones. This didn't include the accommodation in the Talisman Masters Small Building and various foods, so it was much better than she initially thought.

Moreover, Liu Xuan promised to arrange a leisurely position for her in the outer Sect's Talisman Hall, which would provide an additional income. Compared to her previous income, it more than doubled.

She came for the Spirit Stones, to accumulate enough to Breakthrough to Qi Refining Third Layer, or even Middle Stage of Qi Refining. This was an obvious fact, and there was no harm in saying it directly.

Jiang Xiaoyou remained silent throughout. This little girl had a rather introverted personality and lacked assertiveness; she would do whatever others told her to.

Compared to the enthusiastic Yuan Fei, Liu Xuan actually preferred Jiang Xiaoyou a bit more. She was gentle and weak, making her particularly easy to 'bully'.

Not only did Liu Xuan 'bully' her, but Yuan Fei also gradually grew fond of this little white flower, often teasing her.

Liu Xuan was happy to see it happen; after all, it was just playful teasing. He treated it like watching a show, which was also a good way to Cultivate his temperament!

...Two days later.

The second morning.

The two women slept soundly, embracing each other. Liu Xuan got up, dressed, and returned to the Talisman Masters Small Building next door.

"Husband, why aren't you properly accompanying your Dao Companions? What are you doing back here?"

Lin Xue'er was teaching Xiao Yuan to read, and it was rare for her to say something with a hint of resentment.

Liu Xuan sat beside her, embracing Lin Xue'er's fragrant shoulder, and smiled, "How can they compare to Xue'er? You are my first Dao Companion, my true Dao Companion!"

"From now on, Xue'er will also be responsible for their daily supplies. Thank you for your hard work, Xue'er, for looking after them for me!"

As the couple spoke, Xiao Yuan, that rascal, secretly ran out to play in the courtyard.

"Husband!"

Lin Xue'er leaned her head against Liu Xuan's chest, "I want another child! I'm afraid Xiao Yuan and Dao Ping don't have Spiritual Roots!"

Liu Xuan soothingly stroked her head, "You are still young; there will be plenty of opportunities in the future. Cultivate well and Breakthrough to the Innate Realm first, do you understand?"

Actually, Liu Xuan already knew that both of Lin Xue'er's sons had no Spiritual Roots, and they would probably only be able to learn martial arts for now!

What Liu Xuan hoped for most was for Lin Xue'er to Breakthrough to the Innate Realm, preferably directly to Innate Great Perfection, entering the Immortal Dao through martial arts.

This was not an easy feat for an ordinary Martial Artist, almost impossible, in fact.

But Liu Xuan was different; he had a cheat! (A system or special ability)

If he were to advance to Foundation Establishment Ancestor, or even Golden Core True Person, or Nascent Soul Immortal Master, wouldn't it be simple to help a Martial Artist?

Liu Xuan was not a deeply affectionate person; he even had to think for a while to recall the names of some of the maidservants he had slept with in Yongning... But Lin Xue'er was different!

When he first became Dao Companions with Lin Xue'er, Liu Xuan was truly a Disciple who had failed the Sect assessment. That was the path he took when he arrived.

Liu Xuan admitted he couldn't follow her through life and death, but he would not be stingy with help within his means.
