Chapter 360
"Husband, I must go back. There are still many things I need to handle," Ruowei's languid voice echoed atop Wolong Mountain. Since marrying Li Su, perhaps due to her exceptional beauty, Li Su hadn't left the bed for over a month, leaving Ruowei feeling somewhat helpless.
The experience a mermaid brought was truly unique, especially since Ruowei was a peak Refinement Realm mermaid.
"Wait until you're pregnant before talking about this," Li Su said, savouring the taste. He wouldn't easily let her go. Helpless, Ruowei could only lazily lie there, letting her husband do as he pleased.
After a month passed, Li Su began to attend to various matters. However, from time to time, he still visited Ruowei. Many of the palace maids were in seclusion, and Ruowei, being so enchanting, found it a bit overwhelming. Li Su took the opportunity to bring in some mermaids from the South Sea. He wasn't worried about the East Sea clan trying to retaliate.
Li Su's formidable strength made the East Sea clan suffer greatly. Those folks had such ambitious aspirations. Li Su reckoned that until the Azure Dragon King successfully overcame his first calamity, the East Sea clan would not make any significant moves.
A year passed, and there were no signs of Ruowei's pregnancy. However, the other mermaids, including the one Li Su had previously rescued at the Nascent Soul stage, were getting pregnant with Li Su's children one after another. Li Su lived in unparalleled contentment. Another year passed, and Ruowei finally began to show signs of pregnancy. Nearly two years later, she also gave birth to a royal-blooded child for Li Su.
After resting for a few months, Ruowei finally returned to the South Sea, prepared to focus on her cultivation. Li Su saw her off and set up some alert formations at the South and East Seas border. Simultaneously, he arranged some major formations within the sacred city of the South Sea. These formations primarily utilised the underwater mountains' terrain and combined the ocean's power to defend against potential threats.
The entire formation was remarkably sophisticated. It took Li Su nearly half a year to set it up, and he refined this array of tools on the Wolong Mountain before arranging them. During this extended period, Ruowei didn't focus on her cultivation. Instead, she stayed by Li Su's side. At times, when Li Su was in the mood, he would let her transform her mermaid tail into legs and attend to certain matters right then and there.
Sometimes, Li Su wouldn't request Ruowei to transform, adding a different flavour. This delicate South Sea queen was utterly devoted to Li Su. Li Su's bloodline grew stronger over time. The difficulty for regular palace maids to conceive descendants increased once again.
After taking care of this side of the South Sea, Li Su returned to Wolong Mountain and leisurely continued to study the Immortal Weapon Fragment. At the same time, he was also refining other Dao Weapons. Peak Master Dieyun had already merged, and Long Kui was likewise merged. The Sect Leader was still in the midst of closed-door cultivation, and she wouldn't be too slow to merge. After all, the system provided a bonus.
For his own women, Li Su was naturally prepared to accompany each of them with a set of Dao weapons. There was also Tao Yao; her growth rate was incredibly fast. It wasn't visible in the early stages. Once they reached the Nascent Soul, it was the beginning of the reincarnated Immortal's takeoff. Even for Immortal Spiritual Roots, after Nascent Soul, it would take a lot of time to sense the heavens and earth.
But Tao Yao didn't need it at all. So, her fusion stage arrival would not take too long. Materials for Taoist tools were indeed hard to come by. However, for someone like Long Kui, she had already prepared some for herself—though not plentiful, it could still solve a part of the issue. The head of the Returning Origin Sect had also prepared some materials for the Peak Master Dieyun. Li Su could make use of these materials.
In the ocean, there were more materials available. Among the compensation, Li Su requested from the East Sea Azure Dragon King, a significant portion comprised of material-related items. The East Sea was the largest among all ocean regions, with an area even greater than that of the combined Central Province and Northern Territory. Additionally, Li Su obtained a portion of materials from his previous visit to the Xuantian Academy. However, it still wasn't quite enough.
Therefore, Li Su planned to craft semi-artifacts before continuing with further enhancements.
He was forging the Dieyun Sword for Peak Master Dieyun, a small sword resembling a butterfly. This was an offensive-type artifact, simplifying matters. Long Kui was creating armor named the White Dragon Armor.
The most powerful aspect of the sea race was the body, and after Long Kui transformed into a dragon, with the White Dragon Armor, she could constantly draw the power of heaven and earth for protection.
As for the sect leader, that could be addressed later. On Mystic Moon's side, she also needed a Dao weapon. She was not sure if she could obtain it within the Demon Saint Palace. If not, Li Su planned to have her gather materials in the Demon Saint Palace, and he would then refine it for her. In short, Li Su was both relaxed and busy. He was busy yet cheerful.
