Being a princess in a world with more men than women

Chapter 494 Breakthrough

Three days passed in a flash, and Li Jingtian still didn't show up.

Tang Liuqing was the head of the courtyard, and eleven husbands gathered together.

"Master, could it be that Li Jingtian doesn't want to come and offer tea to you?" Lou Moyu said.

In the past ten years, Xu Yuexi has never remarried. When the news of her remarriage suddenly came, several husbands who were emperors in other countries were not only curious but also uneasy. They immediately arranged things and rushed to Lengyue Country without stopping.

"It's okay for Li Jingtian to be rude at ordinary times. After all, he hasn't married into the family yet, so we can't say anything. But now he is married to his wife, and the new husband should offer tea to his mistress. This is a custom passed down from ancient times to the present. He can't be unaware of this etiquette, right?" Ying Zhiyao said.

"Lu Yang, where is the princess? Is she back?" Tang Liuqing asked.

"Your Highness, no, not yet. Tang Liu just came and said that the princess has been staying in the concubine's courtyard for the past three days and has not returned to the main courtyard." Lu Yang replied.

Hearing this, Tang Liuqing felt a little uneasy. Would Li Jingtian harm his wife? Thinking of Li Jingtian's true identity, Tang Liuqing could no longer sit still. He immediately stood up and strode away, heading towards Li Jingtian's yard.

Looking at Tang Liuqing's anxious expression, Shangguan Li was puzzled: "My Lord, what's wrong? Did something happen?"

"Let's go and take a look." Li Yansheng said.

Then everyone followed.

Everyone came to Li Jingtian's yard together, and Di Ying hurried forward to greet them.

"I greet my master and all the concubines."

"Where is your concubine?" Tang Liuqing asked.

"In reply to my lordship, the concubine and the princess have been in the room these days." Di Ying replied.

"Never came out?" Tang Liuqing asked.

"My lord, no," Di Ying replied.

"No way, is Li Jingtian so powerful?" Ying Zhiyao shouted.

Tang Liuqing glared at Ying Zhiyao, then walked towards Li Jingtian's room.

Outside the room, Qingfeng Mingyue was still guarding the door. Seeing Tang Liuqing and others coming over, he hurried forward to greet them.

"I need to discuss something with the princess. Open the door."

"Prince Consort, the princess said two days ago that she wants to practice with Li Cejun and no one is allowed to disturb her." Mingyue replied.

"How could that be? Didn't my wife just get married to Li Jingtian? They didn't sleep in the same room, but just practiced cultivation? With my wife's level of cultivation, does she still need to practice hard?" Ying Zhiyao said.

"Do you think your wife is like you? You fish for three days and dry your nets for two days!" Bai Ze said.

"Hey, Bai Ze, don't just blame me. You're not much better. Aren't you only at the second level of Qi Refining now?" Ying Zhiyao said.

"Okay, stop arguing, both of you! It would be bad if you disturb my wife." Ji Wuxie said.

"Mingyue, are you sure it was the princess who ordered it? How did her voice sound at that time?" Tang Liuqing asked worriedly.

"My Lord, I am sure that it was the princess herself who gave the order. Her voice is no different from usual."

Tang Liuqing didn't feel relieved after hearing this, but frowned. He felt that something was strange. Why would his wife practice with him instead of sleeping with Li Jingtian on her wedding night?

Li Jingtian is a demon. If he has held his wife hostage and is imitating her voice, it is not impossible.

"Open the door, I want to go in and take a look. If my wife is fine, it's fine. If she is, I will not let her off easily." Tang Liuqing said in a cold tone.

Qingfeng Mingyue felt the pressure coming from Tang Liuqing, her face changed slightly, but she still stood guard at the door.

"Prince Consort, the princess has ordered that no one should disturb her, not even you!"

Just when the situation was at a stalemate, there was a slight noise in the room. The door slowly opened, and Li Jingtian stood at the door with a pale face.

"Why are you all here?"

Tang Liuqing looked into the house anxiously, but did not see Xu Yuexi.

"Where's the wife?"

"My wife is in retreat."

Seeing Li Jingtian's pale face, Tang Liuqing was more certain of his guess. He was so upset that he couldn't help but shout:

"What nonsense! Xi'er just got married to you, how could she be in seclusion? Li Jingtian, did you hurt Xi'er? Get out of my way, I must see Xi'er today."

"no!"

Li Jingtian stood at the door, motionless.

"Li Jingtian, you are so bold. You are a concubine who just married into the family, not only do you not offer tea to the master, but you also dare to disobey him. You are so ignorant of etiquette and have no manners at all!" Liu Yunxue said.

"Jingtian, our lord and we are just worried about your wife. Since you said your wife is in seclusion, we won't disturb her. We will just take a look from a distance at the inner gate. Once we make sure that your wife is safe, we will leave, okay?" Ji Wuxie said.

They have been with Tang Liuqing for many years and know him well. Now seeing the situation, they also understand that something is wrong.

Concern leads to chaos.

Besides, they had not spent much time with Li Jingtian and lacked some trust in him, so even if he was telling the truth, no one believed him.

Li Jingtian glanced at everyone, suppressed his inner irritation and slowly explained: "My wife is at a critical moment, you can't disturb her! Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude."

"You! Very good, today I will see how you are going to be rude!"

Tang Liuqing was ready to take action as he spoke. He had to see the person today even if it meant losing his life.

"Let's all come together and teach him a lesson!" Ying Zhiyao said.

Others nodded.

At this time, Ouyang Xingchen behind him suddenly rushed forward and stood in front of Li Jingtian.

"Xingchen, are you going to help him? Do you know that he might harm Xier?" Tang Liuqing said.

"Master, I don't want to help him. Maybe what he said is true. My wife is really practicing, and it has reached the most critical moment. If you don't believe me, look!" Ouyang Xingchen said, pointing to the sky.

Upon hearing this, everyone looked up and discovered that the originally clear blue sky had long been covered by dark clouds, with layers of dark clouds rolling like ink.

"What's going on?" Liu Yunxue asked.

Shangguan Li, Bai Ze and Lou Moyu also looked confused.

They left Xu Yuexi and returned to their country one after another. They were not around when she broke through the Golden Core stage, so they did not know that this was a prelude to the coming thunder tribulation.

"Is this the coming of the thunder tribulation?" Ying Zhiyao said.

"The thunder tribulation of the Nascent Soul stage should be more lethal than the thunder tribulation of the Golden Core stage, right?" Li Yansheng said.

Even though these husbands are all practicing, most of them are like Ying Zhiyao, fishing for three days and drying the nets for two days.

It's not that they don't want to work hard, it's just that cultivation is too difficult, and they have so many worldly affairs to deal with, so naturally they lack the courage to make progress. And Xu Yuexi didn't force them. This cultivation depends entirely on the individual, and she won't do things that force others to eat grass. So they don't know much about things beyond cultivation, mostly about getting started.

"Mo Lin, quickly notify everyone within a ten-mile radius to evacuate." Tang Liuqing said.

Last time, when Xu Yuexi broke through to the Golden Core stage, the lightning tribulation only spread to five or six miles. This time, it was the Nascent Soul stage, and Tang Liuqing felt that ten miles should be enough.

"Fifteen miles!" Li Jingtian said.

Xu Yuexi is a Hunyuan spiritual body with outstanding talent and deep foundation. The power of his Nascent Soul thunder tribulation is very strong. In the world of cultivation, the range of his thunder tribulation can spread to thirty or even fifty miles away.

But this is the mortal world, the spiritual energy is thin and not very active, the rules of heaven and earth are relatively stable and peaceful, thunder tribulations tend not to spread too far, and their range will shrink by most.

"Okay, follow Jingtian's instructions and have everyone evacuate outside the 15-mile radius. Time is running out, so everyone should hurry back and move quickly! We must send Father, Mother, and the children to a safe area."

Tang Liuqing gave orders loudly with a serious expression. His voice was clear and firm, and could be heard clearly in the crowd.

Everyone agreed.
