Hide in the Banished Palace and Level Up To A Big Boss

Chapter 150: How Embarrassing

“Okay!”

“I’m glad you understand!”

“But Ancestor…”

“Patience. After the Demon King’s inheritance is passed down, everything else will be easy,” the golden old man said as he nodded slowly.

The black figure lowered his head and asked in a low voice, “But how much longer do we have to wait?” action

Obviously, he was not happy.

“Twenty years! In twenty years or so, the Demon King’s inheritance should be ready. After that, there will be significant changes with Fenglan’s plans.”

“Yes, Ancestor.” The black figure turned to leave.

“Don’t worry. Help me with something first. When you’re done, it’ll be easier for us to carry out our revenge.”

Half a year later…

A dark figure appeared in a cave within a hundred miles behind the mountain where Li Mu was located.

A large portion of the dark figure’s body was badly burned, and his eyes were filled with hatred.

When night came around, he went back to hang upside down in the crypt.

“A lot of demon clans are monitoring this place. I wonder if there are any humans here as well? If there are, he he…”

A few days later, the black figure limped back into the crypt.

“The people from the Fox Clan are watching this place. It seems that the inheritance of the Demon King is an important matter to them too.”

The shadow suddenly became solemn.

He realized the importance of the matter when he saw the Fox Clan send a master to hide in the surrounding villages.

The foxes were most cunning of all the clans.

And even they were preparing themselves.

“It would be great if I’m the one who acquires the Demon King’s inheritance.”

The black figure lay in the cave. The more he thought about it, the more he felt like he had a chance to get the inheritance of this legendary monster.

“This is the inheritance from the peak of the True Realm…” The black figure’s eyes grew brighter and brighter.

“If I get it, I don’t have to beg for revenge anymore. Even the Ancestor will bow down to me.”

Time slowly ticked by.

In Li Mu’s house, the girls had finally learned how to absorb prenatal qi. They were now on the path to become warriors.

After becoming warriors, the girls’ lives became much easier.

They had more time to contemplate and practice their exercises.

Under Li Mu’s guidance, the girls’ cultivation levels improved rapidly.

Three years later…

With Li Mu’s resources, the young women grew to become very attractive.

Playful, cute and smart.

They had extremely graceful figures and delicate faces.

Their youthful auras sometimes overwhelmed Li Mu.

Four girls.

Legally, they were all his wives.

Every day they were temptations in his life.

Now that he was no longer a eunuch, he had to endure these unclean thoughts.

In order to avoid the temptation, Li Mu stayed on the third floor and didn’t go downstairs unless necessary.

But every now and then, he would think of the girls.

“These thoughts are affecting my cultivation. If I have an impure heart, then all my cultivation would have been in vain.”

In the study room on the third floor, Li Mu picked up a pen and paper and began to write scriptures of his previous.

Li Mu immersed himself in calligraphy in an attempt to put the girls in the back of his mind.

In the Front Village, at the Liu Family’s house…

Liu Xiu appeared with two jars of cured meat in hand.

The villagers stared at her.

“She is a good girl who takes care of her family. But she is fourteen and her stomach hasn’t gotten big yet. Her status at home must be unstable!”

“Yes! That Xu Fang and the girls from the Back Village are so charming. They might become his one and only beloved instead.”

“Sigh! It will be hard for Liu Xiu to become his chosen one. The old man from the Li Family has over fifty wives and hundreds of sons. His love is divided among all of them. He doesn’t even notice if one of his sons is missing.”

“I have to tell Liu Laosan about this as soon as possible. If Liu Xiu’s husband can help us, our village won’t have to suffer so much.”

The Liu Family was very happy when Liu Xiu reached home.

Every time their daughter came back, she brought gifts for her family.

“The people in the village must be envious of us.”

Liu Laosan was very satisfied with his current life.

At the dinner table, Liu Xiu took out a thin booklet and handed it to her father.

“Father, I have a booklet of breathing exercises for you. You should practice the techniques in here. Even if you can’t become a cultivator, it’ll be very good for your body.”

Liu Laosan stretched out his hand for a moment, then retracted it. “Does… does your husband know that you took this?”

There was melancholy on his face.

Breathing exercises were quite powerful.

The Liu Family had never encountered such techniques before.

“Don’t worry, my husband doesn’t mind.”

Liu Xiu pushed the thin book forward again.

“That’s good. But you know I can’t read.”

“Don’t worry about that. I drew some pictures in the booklet. My brothers can read a few words. You can also ask them if you still don’t understand.”

“Okay… that’s good!” Liu Laosan took the booklet and put it away carefully.

Tears fell from the corner of his eye.

The days when the Liu Family were worthless slave were about to be gone forever.

One shouldn’t underestimate a book of breathing exercises.

Many families relied on these breathing exercises to become more powerful.

When Liu Laosan got over his excitement, he was overwhelmed with gratitude. He knew he had brought up his daughter well.

Initially, he simply wanted her to settle down in a place where she would have enough food to survive.

Unexpectedly, she had found a really good husband.

The Li Family must very powerful.

That man took in so many concubines and wives and yet, he didn’t expect anything from them.

Not any powers and not even a piece of meat.

Just then, a soft cry came from outside the door.

“Laosan, are you there? Come out. I have something to tell you.”

After a while, Liu Laosan opened the door, looking upset.

“Daddy, what’s the matter?”

“You’re fourteen and a half years old this year. If I remember correctly, you have been married to that man for almost four years,” Liu Laosan said solemnly.

“Yes!” Liu Xiu nodded.

She didn’t understand what she did wrong to make her father suddenly so serious?

“My dear, what’s the matter?” Liu Laosan’s wife was also surprised.

After eating a good meal, why had he become so serious all of a sudden?

“Come here and I will tell you,” Liu Laosan said, pulling his wife back to the room.

Hushed sounds filled the room.

Before long, Liu Laosan’s voice became louder.

“Our daughter is getting older, but she is still childless. Liu Xiu’s status in the family might be threatened! Look at the girls from the other village.”

“You’re right,” his wife said. “Our daughter can’t lose out to the other girls. I’ll go go talk to her now.”

“Don’t forget what was at the bottom of the box when you got married,” Liu Laosan reminded her.

“Don’t worry. I don’t have to refer to that thing. I can draw it from memory.”

“Let me get you a pen and some paper.”

Half an hour later…

Liu Xiu was called into the bedroom by Liu Laosan’s wife.

Soon, Liu Xiu’s exclamations could be heard from the bedroom: “Mother, why are you showing me these embarrassing drawings?”

“What are you ashamed of? These are things you have to learn. Only when you learn these can you can keep your place in your husband’s heart,” Liu Laosan’s wife said sternly.

After a long while, Liu Xiu walked out of the house. Her head was bowed down and her cheeks were flushed with embarrassment.

“Remember what I told you. Also, take it back with you and have a good look.” As Liu Laosan’s wife spoke, she stuffed the thick stack of paper into Liu Xiu’s arms.

Liu Xiu took the papers. She blushed and quickly ran back to her house.

Along the way, she kept her head lowered and didn’t dare to speak to anyone.

After returning to her room, Liu Xiu let out a long sigh.

“I’m so embarrassed!”

She covered her face with her hands and stamped her feet.

“Sister Xiu, why are you embarrassed?” someone next door asked curiously.
