A Good-for-nothing Son-in-law Builds the Li Family

30: Chapter 30 Hakimi! Mambo! Hakimi Luna, where is the most...?In the blink of an eye, two and a half years passed!

Whether it was because their cultivation levels had gradually increased, making it harder to conceive, or some other mysterious reason, in these two years, neither Zhuge Yue nor Zhuge Ying had become pregnant again.

Perhaps, at higher levels of cultivation, the propagation of life has its own more stringent laws.

However, in their cultivation, Li Guidai and Zhuge Yue did not slacken; both of them had stepped into the Great Perfection of the Foundation Establishment Stage, their internal true essence thick and their divine light contained within, just one step away from the threshold of the Great Dao of condensing a Golden Core.

However, both Li Guidai and Zhuge Yue had a tacit understanding and did not choose to immediately attempt to break through to the Golden Core stage.

They both understood the principle that a tall tree catches the wind; if they went from Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment directly to Golden Core in just a few short years, once this news spread, it would likely be a shock rather than a pleasant surprise, inevitably attracting countless unpredictable gazes and troubles.

Half a year after giving birth to Li Changsheng, Zhuge Ying’s body and state of mind had fully recovered.

Perhaps having experienced that ”abandoned child” incident, under Li Guidai’s guidance and the soothing passage of time, her attitude toward Changsheng had shifted from initial disappointment and regret to a profound maternal love tinged with a sense of compensation, though her personality remained more unyielding than Zhuge Yue’s.

Her cultivation had also steadily risen to the peak of the eighth layer of the Foundation Establishment Stage.

About two years ago, as Li Guidai looked at the spirit stones gradually filling the storehouse and his routine life of cultivation and child-rearing, a long-lost sense of ”boredom” once again welled up in his heart.

Consequently, he turned his gaze toward artifact refinement.

One day, feeling that life was a bit dull, Li Guidai looked at the empty courtyard, memories of his past life surged into his mind, and a bold idea popped up—build a car!

He did it as soon as he thought of it!

He collected various sturdy and lightweight spiritual materials, engraving them with the simplest levitation arrays, wind-speed arrays, and defensive arrays, although the power core could not replicate an internal combustion engine.

After countless failures and the risk of nearly blowing his artifact refinement room to the sky, a ”steel mount” with a sleek design, rigid lines, and a metallic luster throughout was finally born!

Although its grade was only rated as a low-grade Yellow-tier magical artifact, and besides being able to levitate and fly at low altitudes, having a speed comparable to a Foundation Establishment cultivator running at full tilt, and possessing a sturdy shell, it had almost no practical combat value.

But... it was cool!

When Li Guidai first drove this stylish ”convertible flying car” slowly through the streets of Lanyun City, it instantly ignited the entire city!

That unprecedented design, the roaring sound simulated by the arrays, and the cool posture of it speeding past immediately caught the eyes of all the young cultivators, especially those second-generation and third-generation immortals who pursued novelty and good looks!

”Quick, look! What kind of magical artifact is that? It’s so domineering!”

”Oh my god! So... so cool! Who is the young master sitting on it?”

”If I could own one, driving it out would definitely make others envious!”

The result was predictable; immediately, ”interested” wealthy cultivators came to his door, offering fifty thousand low-grade spirit stones right away to request a custom-made one!

Looking at those shiny white spirit stones, Li Guidai’s eyes went straight!

He instantly grasped this huge business opportunity!

Sure enough, no matter which world it is, men’s romance and women’s... hmm, aesthetic sense, are all the same!

This was simply the supercar of the cultivation world!

Consequently, in the next two years, he slowed down his alchemy and poured most of his energy into the manufacturing of ”high-end custom flying cars.”

Due to the complex craftsmanship and the fact that they were entirely handmade by him, the production volume was extremely low; in two years, he had only successfully manufactured five!

Each one was slightly different in appearance and details according to the buyer’s requirements, but without exception, they were all extremely stylish and cool.

These five ”Li-brand Limited Edition Flying Cars” were snapped up at the Lanyun City auction, all at astronomical prices of no less than fifty thousand spirit stones!

Relying on the massive sum of 2.5 million spirit stones brought by these five flying cars, plus the continuous income from his alchemy business over these two years, Li Guidai not only early on paid off the 800,000 spirit stones he owed his father-in-law, Fourth Elder Zhuge You, but his total personal assets also soared to the staggering figure of 5 million low-grade spirit stones!

He leapt to become a notable hidden billionaire in Lanyun City and even the surrounding regions!

However, the growth of wealth also brought about some subtle changes within the family.

Perhaps it was because Zhuge Ying’s irrational actions during childbirth had left a trace of resentment in Li Guidai’s heart, or perhaps it was because he subconsciously preferred the gentle and considerate Zhuge Yue.

Over the past two years and more, his time allocation between the rooms of his two wives had clearly leaned toward Zhuge Yue’s side.

Roughly calculated, in a month, he stayed at Zhuge Yue’s place for about twenty-five days.

Zhuge Yue felt her husband’s favoritism; although she felt sweet in her heart, she was also vaguely uneasy, especially when seeing the occasional loneliness revealed by her younger sister, Zhuge Ying.

More importantly, she knew well the needs of Li Guidai’s ”Ancient Kidney Physique,” and she alone was truly finding it a bit difficult to handle this ”burden.”

Consequently, after one of Li Guidai’s ”hard labors,” Zhuge Yue snuggled in his arms and softly proposed a suggestion: to take a few more concubines for her husband.

Li Guidai initially refused, stating that the two sisters were enough.

But Zhuge Yue used gentle words and soft language to persuade him with many reasons.

In the end, with Li Guidai half-reluctantly agreeing, Zhuge Yue personally stepped forward and carefully selected three young ladies from small families around Lanyun City!

They were all young ladies with excellent looks and temperaments, and whose families were interested in befriending this new upstart, and they were taken as Li Guidai’s concubines.

These three concubines, although not comparable to the Zhuge sisters in beauty and talent, each had their own charm, which relieved some of Li Guidai’s ”pressure,” allowed Zhuge Yue to catch her breath, and further expanded the family’s relationship network.

At that time!

On the dirt road leading to Jicai Village, the scene suddenly changed.

A ”Lamborghini” with an exaggerated design and smooth lines was roaring... er, playing DJ music recorded by Li Guidai himself, singing and playing.

”Your wife, his wife, they seem different”

”Your wife is fat, his wife is thin, their figures are different”

In the driver’s seat, Li Guidai was wearing a flashy brocade robe, with sunglasses perched on the bridge of his nose, steering with one hand, a dogtail grass hanging from the corner of his mouth, singing, with the air of a playboy in the cultivation world.

In the passenger seat was Zhuge Yue, smiling gently and looking a bit curious, holding the nearly three-year-old Li Linger in her arms.

Li Linger had her hair tied in two little buns, and was shaking her little head to the dynamic rhythm.

That’s right, Li Guidai’s trip this time was precisely to take his legitimate wife and precious daughter back to Jicai Village!

Why didn’t he bring Zhuge Ying?

Sigh, Zhuge Yue and Li Guidai were both at the Great Perfection of the Foundation Establishment Stage, but Zhuge Ying was still struggling to climb at the eighth layer of Foundation Establishment.

Seeing her sister and husband about to step into the Golden Core Great Dao, she was under immense pressure, feeling that the gap was widening, so she simply gritted her teeth and went into seclusion, swearing not to come out until she broke through to the ninth layer of Foundation Establishment!

For this ambition, Li Guidai could only express his support.

As for that little brat Li Changsheng? He was even more incredible!

Only two years old, speaking in a milky voice, yet his style of doing things deeply grasped the essence of his old man’s ”steadiness”!

He felt that going out had risks, so it was safer to sleep at home.

What made Li Guidai laugh and cry the most was that this kid somehow got hold of his old broken fishing rod and actually loved it, hugging it every day and sitting by the pond, not fishing, just sitting there in a daze, calling it: ”Contemplating the Great Dao!”

Li Guidai’s purpose for returning home this time was very clear; there were three major things to do:

Let his parents see that their once-foolish son was now not only looking decent, but had also brought back a wife who looked like a celestial being and a precious granddaughter!

By the way, see if he could use resources to pile up the cultivation of his old man Li Jiantou and mother Yang Xiaoqiao.

Also, back in the simple cave dwelling, he had promised Zhuge Yue that he would take her home and, with his parents as witnesses, grandly remarry her!

The most important thing was to break through to the Golden Core!

Condensing the core on the Zhuge Family’s territory would cause too much commotion and easily attract excessive attention.

It was better to leave; the mountains were high and the emperor was far away, the place was secluded, just right for quietly doing something big! He had even prepared the background music to play during the tribulation!

It was ”Hachimi Rock Version”!

”Yueer, sit tight!” Li Guidai stepped on the ”gas,” the Lamborghini let out an even wilder roar, and amidst the ear-piercing DJ music, it sped toward the direction of Jicai Village.

”Your husband is taking you back to show off... ah no, it’s to complete our lifelong event, and by the way... condense a Golden Core for fun!”

Zhuge Yue looked at his high-spirited profile, smiled gently, and placed her hand lightly on his.

No matter how unreliable or mischievous he was, he had never forgotten the things he promised her.

Then the music started: Hachimi! Mambo! Hachimi Luna Naluo Duo~
