Jia Xingtian was very concerned about Xiao Li's attitude.
As the largest business family in the Jia Ma Empire, the Mittel Family was not very prominent in terms of strength, being the weakest among the three major families.
But that was the old Mittel Family!
Now, Hai Bodong had returned, and the Mittel Family instantly became the only family among the three major families to possess a Dou Huang powerhouse, rising to first in strength.
If the Mittel Family were to gain Xiao Li at this time, the impact would be too great, even Jia Xingtian could not ignore it.
But Xiao Li's attitude was also very clear—Consort Ya was his woman, and Hai Bodong had an extraordinary relationship with him. With these two layers of connection, it would be false to say that Xiao Li had no relationship with the Mittel Family at all.
In response, Jia Xingtian could only force a bitter smile and return empty-handed.
"That old man Jia must have come to test your attitude. Seeing his expression, like he'd swallowed a fly, just makes one feel refreshed and comfortable," Hai Bodong laughed.
"Don't be happy so soon. I don't have much of a relationship with your Mittel Family either," Xiao Li splashed cold water on him.
"If your Mittel Family treats Consort Ya well, then I can also treat your Mittel Family well. If you don't treat Consort Ya well, then don't expect me to treat you well."
He never felt that his relationship with the Mittel Family was particularly good.
He was only there purely because of Consort Ya.
"That's natural. As long as this old man is here, I guarantee Consort Ya will become our Mittel Family's strongest auctioneer. It won't be a problem for her to enter the Council of Elders in the future."
Hai Bodong naturally knew what to do.
No one knew Xiao Li's potential and capabilities better than him.
Being able to befriend Xiao Li was a blessing for their Mittel Family.
"That's for the best."
Xiao Li got up and left the VIP room... The auction had ended, and Xiao Li waited quietly outside the auction house for Consort Ya to come out.
Soon, Consort Ya, in a form-fitting cheongsam, walked over gracefully.
Perhaps due to Xiao Li's nourishment, Consort Ya's aura had become even more mature and charming. Every glance and smile, every gentle twist of her waist, exuded a fatal allure.
"You worked hard," Xiao Li went up to her and put his arm around Consort Ya's waist.
"In broad daylight, can't you be a little more reserved? If you're not shy, I am," Consort Ya chided with crimson cheeks.
There were so many people around. Such public displays of affection would only make them a laughingstock, wouldn't they?
"Alright, then I'll be reserved now, and not reserved when we get back," Xiao Li's lips curved into a mischievous smile, and he returned to the room with Consort Ya.
At this time, the night was enchanting, a perfect time for 'work'.
As soon as they returned to the room, Xiao Li was about to get touchy-feely, but Consort Ya stopped him.
"Wait a moment... I'll take a bath first."
"Then let's wash together."
Before Consort Ya could refuse, Xiao Li picked her up and carried her into the bathroom.
As for two people entering the bathroom together, of course, it couldn't just be a simple bath; there was another round of 'exertion'.
Each time, Consort Ya was the first to get too tired to continue.
But this time, she also gained something; her cultivation rose again, reaching Eight-Star Fighting Practitioner.
And Xiao Li, after so many diligent efforts, his cultivation also increased a little, reaching the peak of Five-Star Dou King.
The Dragon Phoenix Art was not simply about the higher cultivated party nourishing the lower cultivated party; both parties benefited.
It was only because Consort Ya's cultivation was too low that Xiao Li didn't gain much.
"Xiao Li, how long can you stay in the imperial capital this time?" Consort Ya asked softly, lying in the warm hot water.
"What, I just arrived, and you already want me to leave?" Xiao Li retorted with a smile.
"That's not what I mean, don't twist my words," Consort Ya chided.
How could she want Xiao Li to leave?
On the contrary, she wanted Xiao Li to stay longer in the imperial capital so they could spend more time together.
Xiao Li kissed the water droplets on her thin lips and said softly, "Don't worry, I won't leave so quickly. I'll stay with you longer."
He certainly wouldn't leave the imperial capital so quickly this time; there were still many things he hadn't dealt with yet.
"Good." Hearing Xiao Li's words, Consort Ya's face showed a happy smile. She rested her head on his arm, her gaze gentle.
"Are you rested enough?"
"Ah? Again...? Aren't you tired?"
"I'm full of energy. Let's not waste time. This is a form of cultivation for you," Xiao Li said solemnly, spouting nonsense.
Of course, he had to work harder to get Consort Ya pregnant sooner.
So, the two changed locations and continued.
A night of revelry, even the maidservants outside couldn't bear it and quietly left... [Ding! Consort Ya is successfully pregnant!]
[Reward "Seventh-Grade High-Level Medicinal Pill: Divine Emperor Pill"!]
[Reward "Earth-Tier Low-Level Soul Dou Technique: Soul Rending Hand"!]
After Xiao Li's hard work, Consort Ya was finally pregnant!
The Seventh-Grade High-Level Medicinal Pill, Divine Emperor Pill, when consumed, can directly elevate anyone at Five-Star Dou King and above to One-Star Dou Huang!
This was a good item.
The Dou King Pill could only directly raise a Dou King's cultivation by one star, and only one could be consumed.
Other medicinal pills also had some special ones that could grant the consumer Dou Huang power for a short period, but with huge side effects.
However, this Divine Emperor Pill had no side effects and could directly elevate one to Dou Huang upon consumption!
This was the best reward for Xiao Li.
Looking at Consort Ya, who had been exhausted all night, Xiao Li kissed her forehead and fell asleep with her... Xiao Li needed to find a place to consume the Divine Emperor Pill. So, after two days of intimacy with Consort Ya at the Mittel Family, he left the Mittel Family and returned to the inn.
These past few days, Green Savage had also been carefully instructing Green Scale.
Seeing him return, the two beauties, one big and one small, both ran over.
"Young Master Xiao Li, I have successfully reached One-Star Fighting Practitioner!" Green Scale's small face was full of excitement.
"That's amazing, really great," Xiao Li patted the little girl's head.
"This is just pure cultivation. The greatest use of the Jade Serpent Three-Flower Pupils is actually to enhance one's own cultivation by controlling snake-type magical beasts."
"If she has the opportunity to control some snake-type magical beasts, her cultivation will break through even faster," Green Savage said.
Instructing Green Scale these past few days had made her mood increasingly calm.
Especially after learning that she was pregnant with Xiao Li's child, the rebellious thoughts in her heart had subtly dissipated a lot.
"Hmm, thank you for your hard work," Xiao Li comforted her with a gentle gaze.
He was naturally very happy to see Green Savage willing to sincerely teach Green Scale.
"You two continue your cultivation; I also need to go into seclusion."
... Xiao Li returned to his room, set up a barrier around it, and then took out the Divine Emperor Pill and consumed it.
Immediately, the medicinal pill entered his stomach, transforming into a hot current that flowed throughout Xiao Li's body, and an unprecedented surge of power emerged.
"Boom!"
Xiao Li's aura began to surge dramatically.
Six-Star Dou King!
Seven-Star Dou King!
Eight-Star Dou King!
Nine-Star Dou King!
One-Star Dou Huang!
