Under Zhou
Jinjiang’s austere stare, each and every single one of them lowered their
heads. In the Zhou’s, Zhou Jinjiang has absolute respect.
The strictly
adhere to the “your husband is your entire world” rule, which was the most
basic rule among common women.
“Ye,
don’t be angry. We just worry about our safety is all!” Mrs. Zhou explained
again after she had made him promises, “Neither me nor my sisters had expect
that the Cheng’s would encounter someone so powerful.”
Contrarily,
he was aiming for the next higher level. He failed to see any more prospect
working for the royals. Other than losing his life, there just weren’t a lot
more he could go after. He had been stuck at the martial spiritualist level for
eight years. In the past eight years, he had tried all means but still weren’t
able to move forward any.
Ever since
he had drank the mystical water from the Cheng’s, he noticed that his
bottleneck was starting to loosen up. That had brought him the biggest
surprise. He realized that he was better off fighting along side his buddy
rather than selling his life to the royals. In addition, he knew very well what
kind of people the Cheng’s were – tits for tats, quid pro quo.
That was why
he gave up what he had worked on for the past twenty years – the riches, the
power. That might have been way more difficult to give up twenty years ago; but
now, he could give them up easily without looking back. All these were merely
materialistic goods; what he was going after longevity.
Cultivators
below the level of martial king have lifespans between 100 – 150 years; once
you break through passed martial monarch, at least 300 – 400 years, and he had
met someone like that before.
Someone who
had lived for 340 years who looked about the same as him. He was utterly
stunned, and also made up his mind to pursue longevity with his family.
He wanted to
bring his two sons with him as well, but he couldn’t, for the peace of mind of
the emperor. Unless he had powers to stand up against the emperor, he’d have to
wait till his sons finished their training before he could see them again.
“Ye,
don’t be mad. We just worry about your safety is all!” said Mrs. Zhou, as the
concubines next to her nodded in agreement.
Zhou
Jinjiang looked at this concubines and said, “It’s almost morning, you should
go back and get some rest. We can talk more tomorrow!”
“Yes, qie1
will retire now!”
The
concubines dare not disagree with him. They curtsied to him and retired,
leaving the couple in the main house
Mrs. Zhou
laughed as she saw that and said, “Ye, the sisters only had your best
interest in mind. Why you have to scare them like that?”
“I wasn’t
trying to scare them!” said Zhou Jinjiang as he shook his head. He looked at
his wife and said to her, “They were women gifted to me by the emperor. They
are not of high status and also very ignorant. You need to guild them so they
don’t misspoke and bring us trouble.”
“Ye,
I got this!” nodded Mrs. Zhou. Then, she sighed and said, “It would be nice if
they can cultivate too, then they will be able to always keep you company!”
Mrs. Zhou is
not an envious person. She understood her husband’s feelings toward her, and
the concubines were merely women gifted by the emperor and they must keep them
around and they’d serve her husband when she wasn’t feeling well.
