The Villain Plundered the Children of Destiny’s Luck - Chapter 36:

Chapter 36: Taking Another Concubine

Amid the chatter of the onlookers, the bridal sedan chair slowly arrived outside one of the Qin Family’s side courtyards. Qin Xiao waved his hand, and the sedan chair halted at the entrance. He dismounted from his white jade horse and walked into the courtyard.

After a short while, he brought out a woman dressed in a red wedding robe with a red bridal veil. Her voluptuous figure was extremely alluring—this woman was none other than Nalan Feiyan. Qin Xiao led her to the sedan chair and personally escorted her inside.

“Lift the sedan!” With a loud command, the eight bearers exerted their strength, raising the bridal sedan and carrying it slowly toward the Qin Family estate. Along the way, members of the Qin Family scattered candies and coins to the crowd.

“The Qin Family is really generous!”

“I can’t believe I grabbed over a dozen copper coins!”

“If only there were such celebrations every day!”

The commoners who managed to catch the sweets and coins were delighted, grinning from ear to ear.

After about twenty minutes, Qin Xiao returned to the estate with the bride.

“Congratulations, Qin Family’s old patriarch!”

“May you have a joyous wedding!”

“May you be blessed with sons soon!”

Martial artists, merchants, and representatives from all kinds of factions in Lingfeng City had come forward to present gifts.

“Congratulations, old patriarch!” However, Ye Long, patriarch of the Ye Family, did not look pleased. With Qin Xiao taking another concubine, his younger sister’s favor would inevitably diminish.

Qin Xiao, on the other hand, beamed with joy, the wrinkles on his face stretched wide from smiling. “Thank you, thank you, everyone, please come inside!”

Not long after, his eldest grandson Qin Shihua hurried over. “Grandfather, the auspicious time has arrived, it’s time to begin the ceremony!”

Qin Xiao nodded and entered the main hall. Since his parents had long passed away, and with him being the highest senior in the family, the two seats on the high platform were left empty.

“The auspicious hour has come! Please welcome the bride and groom!” The master of ceremonies announced loudly.

Qin Xiao held Nalan Feiyan’s hand as they walked to the center of the hall.

“First bow to Heaven and Earth!” They bowed toward the heavens.

“Second bow to the elders!” They bowed to the empty high seats.

“Husband and wife, bow to each other!” The two bowed to each other.

“Send them to the bridal chamber!”

With that, Nalan Feiyan was escorted to the bridal chamber, while Qin Xiao remained to entertain the guests.

“Congratulations on your wedding, old patriarch!”

“Allow me to toast to you!”

Representatives of the various forces in Lingfeng City rushed to toast him, hoping to leave a favorable impression. Qin Xiao accepted them all, returning each toast without refusal.

As night fell, the guests gradually departed. After sending them off, Qin Xiao made his way to the bridal chamber.

Creak! The door opened, and Qin Xiao entered, walking toward Nalan Feiyan. He gently lifted her red bridal veil, revealing a stunningly beautiful face brimming with irresistible charm.

“My lady, let’s drink the wedding wine together. After that, we can enter the bridal chamber. Seeing you so beautiful, I can hardly wait any longer!” Qin Xiao chuckled as he teased her.

“Hmph…” Nalan Feiyan rolled her enchanting eyes at him, her gaze brimming with allure that could bend the will of any man.

After drinking their wedding wine, Qin Xiao eagerly took her into his arms. They battled in passion the whole night, and by dawn, Nalan Feiyan was exhausted, falling asleep beside him.

It wasn’t until midday that she woke up. Qin Xiao supported her as she limped slightly, leading her out of the room.

Waiting outside was Ye Suxin. At the sight of her, Nalan Feiyan blushed and averted her gaze, remembering how she had teased Ye Suxin before.

“Did my wife wait here especially for us?” Qin Xiao asked curiously.

“Yes. Husband, you truly are something. Sister Feiyan just entered the family, and you already showed her no mercy.” Ye Suxin’s eyes held a trace of amusement, though her words carried reproach.

Qin Xiao laughed, pulling her close. “My wife, you wrong me. You know my strength well, I already restrained myself, but…” He deliberately paused, then grinned. “Yet things still ended like this. Looks like only if you two sisters join hands can you hope to match me.”

He embraced Ye Suxin as he laughed heartily.

Ye Suxin’s face flushed red. She pushed against his chest lightly and said shyly, “Stop it, that’s so embarrassing…”

…

At the Ye Family’s back mountain, Ye Tian sat cross-legged, speaking to Yao Linglong within the bracelet. “Master, I’ve broken through to the Postnatal Realm. When will you teach me alchemy?” Yao Linglong had told him before that once he reached the Postnatal Realm, she would teach him alchemy and make him an alchemist.

Her voice echoed in his mind. “Before becoming an alchemist, you must first choose the right cultivation technique. The Great Flame Heart Sutra you’re cultivating now is too low-level.”

“Master, didn’t you say that once I reached the Postnatal Realm, you’d pass me a new technique? What grade is it?” Ye Tian remembered she had once told him his special constitution required a matching cultivation method to activate it.

“An Emperor Rank technique!”

“What? An Emperor Rank technique?” Ye Tian was shocked, swallowing hard. He knew very well the ranks of cultivation methods: Yellow, Profound, Earth, Heaven, Saint, and Emperor. An Emperor Rank technique was one of the highest in the entire Three Thousand Divine Provinces, its value immeasurable. If word spread, it would shake the entire Great Wei Empire.

“Don’t get too excited. It’s not a complete Emperor Rank technique, only the first eight levels. It can only let you cultivate up to the Half-Saint Realm.”

“What? Not complete?” Ye Tian’s excitement dimmed immediately.

“Stupid boy, what are you thinking? A complete Emperor Rank technique—how could I possibly have one? Even my sect doesn’t. Stop dreaming.” Yao Linglong scolded him. If a complete Emperor Rank technique appeared, it would trigger a cataclysmic war across the Divine Provinces. Even just the first eight layers were enough to drive holy lands into madness, yet this boy looked disappointed.

Ye Tian quickly straightened his expression. “Master is right…” He realized he was only at the Postnatal Realm. Saint Realm was unimaginably far away, so why think so far ahead? For now, this was more than enough.

“Master, with this technique, can I break through to the Innate Realm within three years?” Ye Tian asked anxiously. He knew that in three years, Qingwu would reach adulthood, and she would be forced to marry Qin Xiao. He had to reach the Innate Realm before then to take her back.
