Marrying a White Snake Wife is Super Cool

A wide grin on his face, Lu Yuan rushed into the Lu Mansion, shouting, "Mom, where are you?"

"Master, you’ve returned! The madam is in the East Wing," a maid in the front courtyard said with a bow.

Lu Yuan walked briskly. He nodded and replied, "Alright, I got it. You can go back to your work."

"Yes, Master."

Su Liyan got out of the cart. Seeing her husband rush eagerly into the mansion, she arranged for the servants to move the cart at the entrance to the side.

Su Liyan knew he was going to find her mother. She was the one who had told him about the treasures her family possessed.

’This was the kind of thing that would inevitably earn her a scolding from her mother for ’siding with her husband’s family’ or ’forgetting her own mother now that she was married’.’

So, Su Liyan decided to just go back to her room and take care of her daughter, letting her husband and her mother sort things out themselves.

Su Liyan’s mother, who had been taking a nap in her room, heard her son-in-law calling for her. She rubbed her eyes and sat up.

Lu Yuan pushed the door open and entered, a broad smile on his face. "Mom, I’ve come to see you."

In his excitement and haste, Lu Yuan had forgotten to knock.

’Such abnormal behavior could only mean one thing—he’s up to something!’

’Her son-in-law was usually wonderful to her, but not to this extent. They were family, after all, so his behavior wasn’t entirely out of line.’

Su Liyan’s mother got up, intending to get out of bed to greet him. Her fair, bare feet reached for her slippers as she said, "You’re back, son-in-law. Where did you take everyone last night?"

Lu Yuan had taken his wife, a group of confidants, and the Mansion Guards to Elephant Island overnight to support Gu Gaoxu. He had left in such a hurry that he hadn’t told anyone.

With Su Liyan’s mother’s Perception, the movements within the mansion had naturally not escaped her notice.

Lu Yuan walked over and sat on the edge of the bed. Looking at his sleepy-eyed mother-in-law, he began to massage her shoulders.

At this, Su Liniang pulled her feet back under the covers and sat up straight, no longer needing to get out of bed.

Su Liniang sighed. "I’m getting old. I’m starting to need more sleep. If I don’t get my afternoon nap, I have no energy for the rest of the day."

Massaging his mother-in-law’s shoulders through her pink, floral pajamas, Lu Yuan coaxed, "Mom, what are you talking about? You’re still so young. How can you say such things?"

Lu Yuan didn’t actually know how old his mother-in-law was, only that she was around forty—maybe thirty-eight, or perhaps thirty-nine.

She hadn’t yet had her fortieth birthday.

Although she was a bit older than Aunt Zhao and Aunt Song, her skin was still firm, smooth, and supple.

His mother-in-law’s ability to maintain such a delicate and youthful appearance was partly due to the Lifespan Extension Pills and Beauty Pills Lu Yuan had previously refined.

Whenever Lu Yuan had time, he would refine a batch every now and then, distributing them to his mother-in-law, his women, Xiaoqian, and others. It was a perfect way to improve his own alchemy skills while also gifting the elixirs to those around him—a true win-win.

Lu Yuan had clearly been a regular at spas in his past life. He was the type who’d get paid and immediately head out to relieve some stress, always adding on extra services.

In this life, with so many women of his own, ordinary women could no longer catch his eye.

The pressure of Lu Yuan’s hands was just right as he massaged his mother-in-law’s shoulders. She closed her eyes, feeling so comfortable that she was starting to get drowsy again.

Seeing that her son-in-law was taking his time getting to the point, Su Liniang slowly spoke up. "Son-in-law, you’ve been in here for a while now. What is it you need from me?"

Lu Yuan stopped what he was doing and took two Inner Cores from his robes, presenting them to his mother-in-law.

Su Liniang opened her eyes, glanced at them, and asked, "Son-in-law, where did you get these?"

Lu Yuan then recounted the events of the previous night, picking out the key details and telling her everything truthfully.

Su Liniang understood. Her son-in-law wanted to use the Inner Cores for alchemy. Doing so would greatly increase the probability of refining Earth Level Superior Elixirs, and their effects would be even more potent.

In comparison, Human Level Elixirs like the Lifespan Extension Pill and Beauty Pill would pale in significance.

Su Liniang was not stingy. "We do have some of these Inner Cores at home," she said. "Just by refining and consuming a single one, your own cultivation can advance by a hundred years."

What Su Liniang said was true. These were the Inner Cores of Da Xingzi with over a thousand years of power. They contained a millennium of cultivation, and if one could refine and consume a single core, they could absorb ten to twenty percent of its power.

Aside from Su Liyan’s extraordinary natural talent, Su Liniang had also stuffed a refined Inner Core into her daughter’s mouth when she was able to undergo her ancestral reversion, making her swallow it.

After consuming the Inner Core, Su Liyan not only gained immense cultivation in an instant but also laid a solid foundation for her future training.

This was why the twenty-year-old Su Liyan was so terrifyingly powerful. Especially after her ancestral reversion, her strength multiplied to a level that even Lu Yuan couldn’t fathom.

After her ancestral reversion, the angrier Su Liyan got, the stronger she became. It was like some women who are meek and lovely on a normal day, but once they lose their temper, they’re harder to handle than a wild boar.

Su Liniang turned to look at her son-in-law. "Do you really have a way to maximize the use of these Inner Cores?"

Lu Yuan replied very seriously, "Mom, to be honest, I’m not completely certain yet. I happen to have these two to practice with. If I succeed, consuming one will allow for the absorption of at least fifty percent of the Inner Core’s cultivation."

Su Liniang nodded. "In that case, I won’t be stingy. I’ll head back to Changliu Village in a few days to retrieve those Inner Cores."

According to the method of refining Inner Cores passed down through her family, a person could only consume one in their entire life to enhance their cultivation. That was why they had a whole box of them left to gather dust at their old home.

"Thank you, Mom! Once I succeed in refining them, you’ll be the first one I honor," Lu Yuan said happily.

"Oh, right, Mom, now that I’m back in Taiping City, I’m planning to build an entertainment street. I’ve already picked the location—Drum Tower Street, in the west of the city. Once I buy out the shops on both sides, we’ll start renovations and turn it into a commercial district. When it’s done, you can be the manager of the entire street..."
