Chapter 621: 620. Winged Wolf
```
During the New Year festivities, even though the group of women at home went out to have fun all day, they didn't fall behind on their cultivation at all.
At this moment, Lu Yao stretched out both hands to rest on the chests of Li Pei and Liao Qe, infusing them with Divine Thought and True Qi that contained the Indestructible Will simultaneously into the bodies of the two women.
They were immediately enveloped by faint blue electric arcs, their entire beings crackling with energy, as the Indestructible Will soaked into every cell of their bodies.
The whole process lasted for about 5 minutes before stopping, and when the two women opened their eyes, a thin layer of golden light could be seen shimmering on their skin.
Yu Yanmei, standing by the side filled with deep emotion, remarked, "You are now scarcely any different from the ordinary Great Grandmasters."
Under Lu Yao's relentless nurturing without regard for cost, Li Pei and Liao Qe, although only half a step from the Golden Body Realm, had an "Indestructible Will" that was not the least inferior to that of Great Grandmasters like Zhang Wenda or Bai Jingting.
Without the use of Magical Treasures, it's hard to say who would win or lose in a one-on-one bout.
Beside them was someone even more outrageous – a golden light formed by the "Indestructible Will" could also be seen on Liao Ya.
Although it was faint and thin, no thicker than one tenth of a strand of hair, it was produced by Liao Ya's own body!
This Sect Leader Big Sister was only a paper-thin distance away from the Golden Body Realm!
Yu Yanmei looked at these stunningly beautiful women, each making rapid progress, and felt quite unsettled. It was all too quick, almost impossible to adapt to!
After all, it took her three years to break through to the Golden Body Realm herself, and this had already been hailed by countless people as inconceivable.
Yet, these three ladies might not even need half a year... or perhaps just two to three months to breakthrough!
And they didn't even need to consume Gold because they had "Indestructible Plasma," which is even purer than gold.
This was also the "culprit" behind the rapid advancement of the entire family, including herself.
Thinking of this, Yu Yanmei glared at Lu Yao.
This little rascal had been recently promoting the idea that "oral administration is more effective than injection," trying to delude the ladies into falling for it.
But the women were closer to him than he thought, daring to discuss any topic while soaking in the bath together, and they soon exposed the matter.
At this moment, Lu Yao was coaxing again, "Just washing and cleansing has such an effect; if you directly consume it, wouldn't you just skyrocket! Big Sister~ how about you give it a try?"
"Die, you shameless little brother~" Liao Ya, with fists condensed with Indestructible Will, swung her arms mightily and pounded on this scoundrel.
Yu Yanmei shot him a look of disdain, then said to Li Pei and Liao Qe, "Let's go cultivate on the Ice Jade Bed, away from this little rascal."
With that, she led the two giggling women to the Ice Jade Bed.
This thing could make even someone in the Golden Body Realm shiver with cold when lying on it, but its effects were exceptionally good, especially for Spirit Refining.

Lu Yao, with the tired Liao Ya in his arms, was engaging in teasing banter when suddenly, three little demon girls shot over like lightning, clinging onto their master and chirping:
"What are you talking about? Is there something delicious?"
"I want to eat~ I want to eat~"
Lu Yao kept a straight face and asked, "How did you girls get here, aren't you supposed to be in class?"
Ji Xiang replied with her sweet voice, "Master, the class is already over, we've learned everything."
Lu Yao glanced at the sky and indeed, it was time that classes ended, so he said, "Then go and play."
The three little demon girls clung tightly to their master, batting their big, clear, and sparkling eyes as they coaxed, "Can you play with us, please?"
While speaking, they simultaneously rubbed their cute bodies against him insistently.
The touch was too comfortable, and without showing his feelings, Lu Yao withdrew his hand and excused himself, "Be good, I've got things to do, go play by yourselves."
```
Having said that, he waved his hand, bestowing on them Spiritual Puzzles and Indestructible Divine Sensation.
Although the three girls had received many benefits, they still departed dejectedly, pouting as they flew away.
Once everyone had left, Liao Ya approached Lu Yao and spoke earnestly, "Junior brother, I think those three have quite the affection for you. If it comes to it, just take them into your household."
Three delicate and beautiful little demonesses definitely should not be cheapened by outsiders, and since there were countless stories of love and even marriage between humans and demons in the Otherworld, Liao Ya and the others were happy to see such a union.
But Lu Yao himself was somewhat troubled, "They're like children, and might not be able to distinguish between love and familial affection. Let's wait and see for now."
Liao Ya said gently, "That's also fine, let them mature a little more. But don't deliberately distance yourself from them, they were almost crying just now."
Lu Yao nodded slightly, though his heart ached with headache—aside from the three little demons, there was also that troublesome Asura Fairy to consider...
He wondered if Liao Ya would still be so magnanimous if she knew.
~~~~~~~~~~
In the following days, several women focused on the Spirit Refining Cultivation facilitated by the Ice Jade Bed.
Particularly Li Pei and Liao Qe, who were afraid of progressing too quickly and destabilizing their foundations, even stopped their Martial Dao Cultivation to focus solely on Spirit Refinement.
Even so, their strength continued to grow by the day.
If outsiders knew they were troubled by the excessive speed of their strength's growth, who knows what they would think.
On the other hand, Liao Ya, who possessed the Spirit Refining Stage of the Fetal Breath Realm, was much more at ease, letting things take their natural course.
Time moved on to the day after the Lantern Festival, which is the sixteenth of the first lunar month.
Zuo Gong presented his request to the emperor, volunteering to lead the campaign against Izumo.
The entire court, seemed to have anticipated the news, showing no sign of surprise.
Li Pei, of course, supported the proposal, hoping to capture the entirety of Izumo's territory as soon as possible.
Zuo Gong also practiced the Spirit Refinement of Divine Fetal Breathing and was at the pinnacle of the Great Grandmaster level. With him in charge, the strategic objectives were expected to be achieved swiftly.
Just as Lu Yao and his family were collectively seeing off Zuo Gong, Ali, who was left to guard Jing Yi Garden, suddenly heard a faint wolf howl from the wilderness.
Her cat ears twitched a few times, and she quietly left Jing Yi Garden, following the sound for a hundred miles until she reached a desolate mountain.
There, she encountered a wolf larger than a heavy-duty truck, with jet-black fur except for a snowy white patch on its chest, and a pair of wings on its back.
Ali bowed and said, "I pay my respects to Winged Wolf Saihan, the Demon King."
The Winged Wolf Saihan, looking down at the tiny cat before him, spoke with authority,
"I sent you to guide your kin; why has it taken so long?"
Ali replied respectfully,
"Reporting to the Demon King, the three members of our race are unwilling to leave, and the one who transformed them is a Celestial Lord from the Human Race who bears goodwill towards our Demon Race. I thought it best to communicate further, perhaps to enlist his support as a powerful ally."
"Powerful ally..." Saihan took up the thread, "Such an important matter is not for you to decide! Hurry and accompany me to meet with Xuan Gui Great Saint to report everything. Let the elder decide."
"I obey. However..." Ali said cautiously, "Leaving without saying a word would be too discourteous. May I return to bid them farewell?"
Saihan's gaze flickered, then he said, "Given the importance of the matter, there's no time to delay. I will take you back myself, which won't take long, and we can return once a decision has been made."
With those words, he grasped Ali in his claw, spread his wings, and took to the sky, heading toward the direction of the Indian Ocean.
