The venerable ancestor of the Han family had reached the Pihai Realm thirty years ago, during which time he took dozens of concubines, greatly impacting Lingjun City.

Periodically, various powers from Fengyang Manor would send people to participate in the grand concubine-induction ceremony of the Han Family’s elder. When frequent, there could be as many as three to five times a month; when less so, three to five times a year.

This significantly drove the economic development of Lingjun City, and more and more people flooded in, seeking greater prospects for development.

Now, the permanent population of Lingjun City had exceeded four million. Including the transient population, it had surpassed five million, ranking among the top three in numerous counties of Fengyang Manor.

Han Li’s frequent taking of concubines greatly improved the living standards of the people in Lingjun City, but the Mortal World’s ability to resist calamities remained quite low. While natural disasters were rare in Lingjun City, human-induced troubles were quite common.

The Mortal World had its own laws of development and lifestyles. Han Li would not interfere lightly, as it would become too much to manage, and there were too many grievances to be settled.

Staying in Han Mansion for long periods could become suffocating for Han Li; thus, he asked his numerous concubines if they wanted to go out and stroll the streets.

Lin Yiwu, Qiu Yueyao, and other women repeatedly shook their heads. They disliked attracting attention and preferred to cultivate in their own rooms given the time.

Han Li did not insist and took the lively and active Lin Yiyin and Chu Yumeng with him. To avoid minor troubles, Han Li disguised them with the Power of the Divine Spirit, their appearances now seeming mundane to outsiders.

The streets were bustling and lively, clean and well-kept, lined with rows of shops, and there were also ordinary people setting up street stalls.

Han Li, like a wealthy young master, was dressed in brocade clothes, a purple jade hung at his waist, and he held a White Feather Folding Fan in his hand as he swayed it gently.

Chu Yumeng and Lin Yiyin posed as his maids, looking around as they walked and chattering nonstop to Han Li, their excitement apparent.

Lin Yiyin was naturally curious about these things, and Chu Yumeng was also vivacious and energetic. The two held hands, clearly close and without any distance between them.

Feeling the worldly aura washing over him, a smile formed on Han Li’s face, and something deep within him was touched.

They say that the mortal hustle and bustle sooth the human heart, and the same is true for cultivators.

Many powerful cultivators, after reaching a certain level, would enter the secular world to temper their heart and also to strive for progression.

Unknowingly, Han Li had visited many places. He and Lin Yiyin, along with Chu Yumeng, did not feel tired. The two women, instead, were ebullient, their hands full of various snacks purchased by Han Li, and even more delectable treats had been stowed away in their stomachs. “Husband, it’s so lively up ahead.”

“Husband, can we go have a look, please-”

At this moment, Lin Yiyin and Chu Yumeng hugged Han Li’s arm, shaking it while coquettishly pleading, and Han Li was instantly won over by their sugar-coated entreaties.

“Let’s go have a look then.”

Han Li smiled and led the two women to the front left.

Although he had come to experience mortal life, Han Li kept his Spiritual Sense active, covering about ten miles around him to ensure the safety of himself and the two women.

Even though he knew there was no threat to him in Lingjun City, Han Li remained cautious to avoid “capsizing in the gutter.”

He had already noticed the situation to the front left: over a hundred people gathered around, murmuring among themselves, and in the middle stood a little girl dressed in old grey clothes.

A sign stood in front of the little girl bearing four large characters, “Selling Oneself to Bury Father.”

The crowd around was accustomed to such sights; in Lingjun City, such incidents occurred by the hundreds each year, all due to some mishap at home.

Occasionally, someone would step forward to strike up a conversation, but after the little girl quoted her price, they would shake their heads slightly, finding it not worthwhile, and retreat.

Seeing this scene, Chu Yumeng and Lin Yiyin were reminded of their own past misfortunes, and they felt immense sympathy for the little girl, meanwhile looking to Han Li.

Han Li understood their meaning and nodded slightly, agreeing to buy the girl as a maid for the Han Mansion, which was also considered giving her a path to survival.

Just as he was about to speak, Han Li’s brows furrowed slightly, his Spiritual Sense swept back and forth over the little girl a few times, and he indeed discovered something abnormal.

“Not simple.”

This was Han Li’s evaluation of the little girl.

At first glance, the little girl did not have any Cultivation Talent, quite ordinary, just a normal person.

But upon closer inspection, he found something amiss, only after several scans with his Spiritual Sense did he discover the hidden secret.

Upon Han Li’s gesture, the two women immediately stepped forward and spoke a few words to the little girl, who looked up at Han Li with surprise and delight, and Han Li responded with a nod and a smile.

Having bought the little girl, Chu Yumeng and Lin Yiyin no longer had the heart to continue shopping, so Han Li led them back to Han Mansion.

After arranging for a maid to take the little girl to clean up, Han Li called one of his descendants and instructed him to take care of the little girl’s father’s funeral affairs.

Half an hour later, the little girl, now bathed and dressed in neat clothes, was brought to the Fragrance Garden.

Seeing the little girl, Han Li’s eyes lit up; previously, she was dressed in plain gray and had a dirty face, which obscured her beauty, but now it was clear that she was a natural beauty.

The little girl was dressed in a sea-blue gown, with beautiful blue hair, neat bangs in the front and long twin ponytails in the back, each tied with a red bow. Her delicate and cute face ensured she would be a stunning beauty when she grew up, a disaster for the nations.

Han Li had already learned from Lin Yiyin that the girl’s name was Yao Xi and that she was only ten years old, so he spoke to her in a gentle tone: “Yao Xi, from now on, you can live in peace at Han Mansion.”

“Mhm mhm-

Yao Xi had been very nervous being scrutinized by Han Li for so long. At his words, she quickly nodded her head, her little hands clasping the hem of her dress.

After asking Yao Xi a few more questions, Han Li handed her over to Chu Yumeng and Lin Yiyin, who couldn’t wait to introduce her to the other sisters.

They realized that Yao Xi truly was a natural beauty, and seeing that she was likely to become one of their true sisters when she grew up, they had no reservations.

“Blue-haired twin ponytail Ioli, tsk tsk, seems quite suitable for Ioli nurturing.” Looking at Yao Xi’s retreating figure, Han Li muttered softly to himself.

He had played Ioli nurturing games in the past, which were highly customizable with various face-sculpting options, making them very realistic, but he had never played a real -life version of the Ioli nurturing game.

“I’m curious to see if you will bring me a surprise,” Han Li mused, his expression turning strange.

He had inspected Yao Xi carefully earlier and found that this little Ioli did have talent, and not a low one at that, but he was unable to see her true potential.

Yao Xi’s spirit was intact, but with a sense of incompleteness, and there was a seal inside that concealed her true talent. The little spiritual power that was revealed was already much stronger than ordinary people, surpassing even the average Pihai Realm cultivator.

This sufficed to say that Yao Xi had an astonishing background, possibly even a reincarnation of a powerful being from legend.

However, Han Li had already made up his mind to take the problematic girl under his wing once she grew up and to study her in depth to see if she was a reincarnated being of great power.

With a smile, Han Li left the Fragrance Garden and entered another garden. He saw the women gathered around Yao Xi, chatting incessantly, their curiosity piqued, while Yao Xi looked rather nervous and somewhat at a loss.

While Han Li was living an idle life of leisure, a major event occurred in Leizhou..
