Starting with a Family System to Become an Immortal Official-Chapter 107: “Senior Li! Welcome back!”

Under the ornate jade pavilion nestled near the Li family palace within the sect grounds, three peerless beauties sat gracefully on cushioned seats of cloud silk.

Maids moved around them with careful hands to apply the final touches of cosmetics

On any ordinary day, Zhen Rou, Chen Yuxuan and Chen Yuling would never bother with rouge or powder as their natural beauty already rivaled the moon and outshone morning dew as though it was a trivial chore.

Yet today was different.

Their husband was finally returning after months away.

They wanted him to look upon them and fall in love all over again!

A young maid knelt behind Zhen Rou to gently comb and pinning her glossy black hair into an elegant cloud chignon adorned with jade phoenix pins.

Softly, the maid spoke while working.

"Madam Zhen, this servant still cannot believe it. Clan Head Li passed the Immortal Official exams so quickly... we were all certain we wouldn’t see him again for several more months. I even heard a grand welcoming ceremony has been prepared at the main plaza."

Zhen Rou said nothing.

She simply sat with perfect poise and a soft smile that held quiet pride and endless tenderness.

Her phoenix eyes remained half-lidded.

Beside her, Chen Yuxuan tilted her chin slightly as another maid carefully painted her already luscious lips a vivid cherry red. The color made them look plump and inviting like ripe fruit begging to be tasted.

"Qingmu has once again made a great contribution to the sect. I overheard some junior disciples whispering that he has become their dream husband. So sudden... is it only because he was granted the position of Holy Court Attendant? How materialistic some of these girls can be."

The maid finished and respectfully offered a small hand mirror framed in silver.

Chen Yuxuan gazed at her reflection and admired the glossy red that made her lips pop out.

She gave a satisfied nod.

Behind her, Chen Yuling let out a proud little scoff.

A maid was dressing her snow-white hair.

Long and silky as fresh-fallen frost.

It was now styled into an intricate updo threaded with silver lotuses.

"He’ll have his hands quite full once he returns. So many of these young women are desperate. I even heard Official Wong is so eager to tie his clan to the Li bloodline that he might throw all his daughters at poor Qingmu."

Zhen Rou finally let out a soft giggle as she covered her mouth delicately with her sleeve.

"Husband hasn’t even set foot back in the sect yet and already so much work awaits him."

Chen Yuxuan and Chen Yuling exchanged glances then burst into gentle laughter together.

══════

Several hours later.

A massive magic airship tore through the clouds above Golden Sun Pavilion.

The fluttering immortal banners said it all.

He has arrived!

The moment it appeared, the plaza erupted.

Hundreds of female disciples gathered below, eyes sparkling with hearts, waving silk handkerchiefs and fans. They hadn’t even glimpsed him yet but their voices rose in a tidal wave of adoration.

"Clan Head Li! Welcome back!"

"Immortal Qingmu! This disciple has waited so long!"

"Li-lang! Your humble wife offers her heart!"

"Such a heroic man—please accept this one’s love!"

Some boldly shouted declarations of eternal devotion.

Others praised his crushing of Lower Heaven geniuses and his direct ascension.

Fragrant rose petals and spirit blossoms rained down in colorful storms.

Nearby, Huo Batian stood with several other Nascent Soul elders who watched with arms crossed.

One elder shook his head with a wry smile.

"To think Li Qingmu would become this huge..."

Another sighed.

"He crushed fierce and unimaginable talents from the Lower Heaven Realm at Core Formation. He is already unrivaled among his peers. No wonder so many top immortal families envy him."

Huo Batian raised a single finger.

"In truth... one could comfortably call him unrivaled across the entire Far-Reaching Continent."

The other elders turned to stare at him in silence.

They were utterly stunned.

Huo Batian blinked.

"What?"

One finally coughed.

"We’re just... surprised. You’re praising him so openly. The same small boy who stole your girlfriend and turned you into a sect-wide laughingstock."

"Not to mention... Brother Li is also the reason you lost your position as Grand Elder of Zhulong Peak."

Huo Batian’s face twitched.

Veins pulsed at his temple.

"IT’S NOT THAT BAD!"

He roared out in a crying voice.

The elders jerked back and blinked innocently like they had said nothing at all.

Huo Batian glared, then deflated.

He looked away as he pinched the bridge of his nose with a long sigh.

"So I can’t even be mature about it anymore...?"

Just then, the loudest shrieks yet pierced the air.

The male disciples nearby jumped in fright.

They knew instantly he had landed!

Li Qingmu stepped down the airship stairs with a slightly helpless smile.

Behind him walked Grand Elder Song Yan.

Yet for once, no one spared her a glance.

The young Clan Head had grown to match her stature in the sect’s eyes.

Rose petals flew toward him in waves.

He raised a hand in a gentle wave as his smile turned a bit forced.

『This seems... a little excessive?』

He had forgotten how big the sect actually was.

『I don’t even know most of these people.』

He scanned the crowd.

The number of female disciples had exploded and many of them were top-grade beauties with glowing skin and graceful figures.

Song Yan leaned close to his ear.

"Patriarch Zhen did say that ever since word spread that you single-handedly destroyed an elite monster, many ladies have joined the sect hoping to catch your eye."

Li Qingmu sighed.

"Oh boy..."

The bolder ones surged forward and shouted about gifts they prepared, offering to accompany him for life, even begging to bear more heirs for the Li clan.

A group of slender and devastatingly cute disciples rushed with soft, excited squeals.

But then Li Qingmu spotted them.

"EH—!?"

Several massive women charging like galloping whales on hairy legs as thick as tree trunks that reminded him of Zhen Rou’s old "fatty" days. They smooch-kissed the air with hearts in their eyes as they shouted lovey-dovey words that somehow sounded like threats.

"Darling Qingmu~ Let this one warm your bed!"

"Come punish us tonight, Clan Head!"

"I’ll hug you till your crushed against my chest!"

Their breasts looked like concrete.

Their blocky butts were no different.

"Hmm, no thanks!"

Panic flashed across his face.

"Take me back inside—!"

Before the stampede could reach him, a graceful figure floated down like moonlight.

Head Concubine Huang Shiyue.

She landed between him and the crowd.

That gentle yet commanding voice rang out.

"Sisters, do you not respect Clan Head Li enough to let him greet his family first?"

The female disciples froze.

Regretful murmurs rose at once.

"Sorry, Clan Head..."

"We were too forward..."

To Li Qingmu’s surprise, the huge women were the most sensitive.

Some even teared up.

"We know you have a preference for beautiful women built like us... since you married Madam Zhen. Please, take your anger out on us in bed later—after family time. But you don’t have don’t be in a hurry!"

These hairy-faced women were suddenly bashful.

Li Qingmu stared with half-lidded eyes.

『Yeah, I’m the desperate one...』

Huang Shiyue stepped into his view and bowed with a radiant smile.

He softened immediately.

"Shiyue. How have you been?"

She straightened, eyes warm.

"You’ve only been gone a few months, my lord. This one is more than fine... though your lovely wives have cried often without you."

Li Qingmu chuckled awkwardly.

"Yeah... I figured."

"I have already prepared the largest bed. So you may spend tonight with all three of them."

He tilted his head.

"And you? Care to join?"

Huang Shiyue’s cheeks instantly bloomed pink.

"Oh no, no, no! This lowly one would never dare stain your sheets with my unworthy body when you have such beautiful wives waiting!"

Li Qingmu shook his head.

"You’re too dramatic, as always."

That moment, a small army of children burst from the palace gates like eager ducklings.

The first he saw was Li Zimo who was beaming as she carried little Li Shuming in her arms.

Soon he was completely surrounded.

Tiny hands tugged his robes.

So many voices overlapped in joyful chaos.

"Father! We missed you so much!"

"Did you bring a new wife?!"

"Brother Bei has been bullying me again!"

"THAT’S A LIE!"

"Look, Father—my sword qi is stronger now!"

They hugged his legs, kissed his cheeks and even climbed him like a tree.

He laughed heartily, patting heads and ruffling hair.

"Welcome back!!"

Li Zimo screamed, eyes shining.

He reached down to ruffle her hair too.

She swatted his hand away with a pout.

"I’m a lady now! Stop that!"

He grinned.

"If you don’t let me, I won’t give you that souvenir."

Instantly she thrust her head back under his palm and grinned shamelessly.

Li Qingmu shook his head.

"So easy."

Then his gaze found Li Er standing a safe distance away as he cradled Li Yuantian in his arms.

"Er’er!"

Li Qingmu called gently.

"Won’t you come give your father a hug?"

Li Er cleared his throat, cheeks faintly red.

"...That would be too embarrassing."

Li Qingmu forced a smile.

『He’s a lot like that Xu Lingxi girl...』

The long-awaited Clan Head was finally home.
