In the blink of an eye, three days had swiftly passed, and the bridal sedan of the Die family soon arrived at the side gate of the Cao residence.
Indeed, it was the side gate!
After all, Die Yunyu was merely a concubine, lacking the authority to enter through the main entrance!
Furthermore, there was no grand welcoming ceremony; the entourage was not met by an assembly of esteemed guests.
Only a woman in her thirties awaited their arrival.
Yet, this woman left the Die family members astounded!
For she was a peak Nirvana realm powerhouse, surpassing even their matriarch by an entire realm!
"Very well, you may lower the sedan. Young Madam, follow me. As for the rest of you, please proceed to the dining hall!"
"We, the Cao family, have prepared a splendid feast for you!"
"Rest assured, esteemed one; I know what to do!"
Leading the Die family was not Die Qianqiu but rather the family's Elder, who was obedient due to his ambitions.
Once the sedan was placed down, he led the others away.
As for Die Yunyu, she was more eager than anyone, stepping out as soon as the sedan came to a halt.
"Esteemed one, please lead the way!"
In truth, Die Yunyu was considerably younger than the woman, yet in this world, status prevailed over age!
However, the woman's demeanor took a complete turn at that moment.
"Young Madam, you flatter me. I am merely a steward of the Cao family; I hardly deserve the title of 'esteemed one.' You may call me Xia."
Die Yunyu was momentarily taken aback!
This Nirvana realm expert was actually attempting to please her?
But she quickly realized that the favor was not directed at her personally, but rather at her identity as the Young Madam.
Although merely a concubine, she was still an honored guest of Cao Wenbin!
Her influence as his partner was undoubtedly formidable!
"It seems that marrying Cao Wenbin offers more benefits than I had imagined!"
The more she pondered, the more exhilarated Die Yunyu became!
Thus, both women, fueled by urgency, swiftly made their way to the courtyard where Cao Wenbin awaited!
Even at full speed, it took them nearly ten minutes to reach their destination.
"Young Master, the Young Madam has arrived!"
No response came.
Cao Wenbin was utterly captivated by Die Yunyu's beauty!
Her enchanting visage and flowing hair created a striking image.
Clad in a vibrant red gown that cascaded to the ground, she embodied a fairy-tale allure!
Most importantly, as Die Yunyu bowed her head, she was entirely oblivious to the ground beneath her!
"The authors of web novels do not deceive me; this transmigration is indeed a divine blessing!"
"How could I, a mere laborer in Blue Star, ever savor such exquisite fruits!"
Caught up in excitement, Cao Wenbin abruptly embraced Die Yunyu!
Meanwhile, steward Xia had long since departed!
"Tell me what you desire!"
Cao Wenbin buried his face in her silken hair, utterly entranced!
Yet he remained composed, fully aware that this woman's motives for marrying him were rooted in self-interest.
As for feelings, they were better left unspoken.
"I desire nothing; I merely wish to accompany you through the ages!"
In this world, no one was a fool!
Die Yunyu certainly would not state her terms outright!
After all, if she were to do so, it would transform marriage into a mere business transaction!
Moreover, following her recent experiences, she realized that as long as she served Cao Wenbin well, the long-coveted desires she had once deemed unattainable would soon become worthless!
Whatever she wished for, she could readily acquire!
And thus…
"My dear husband, a moment of intimacy is worth a fortune; let us save our discussions for tomorrow!"
"In this moment, what we ought to explore is the origin of humanity!"
With that, she playfully rubbed her leg against his!
Under normal circumstances, Cao Wenbin could withstand such temptations.
But unexpectedly…
…
At a tavern outside the Cao residence, Die Ke sat by the window, drowning his sorrows in drink!
His dazed expression revealed that he was already several cups deep!
"Cao Wenbin, how audacious you are to pursue the woman I desire!"
"And you, Die Yunyu, how shameless! To sell your own body for strength!"
"Is it not opportunities you seek? I have uncovered a sacred legacy; if you serve me well, I shall bestow it upon you!"
The more he spoke, the more agitated Die Ke became!
In truth, according to his original plan, he should have been there to claim the bride!
However, Die Yunyu's earlier words had thoroughly quashed that notion!
After all, even with exceptional luck, it was impossible to abduct someone unwilling within the Cao residence!
"Vile wretch!"
With that exclamation, Die Ke downed another drink!
Meanwhile, in the heart of the Cao residence, a phantom of a phoenix suddenly appeared!
Almost immediately, this phantom let out a piercing cry!
"The true phoenix laments!"
With emotions surging, Die Ke smashed his fist down on the table, shattering it!
