Chapter 68:
The Level 4 intimacy reward helped Su Li solve this problem—the Divine Horse White Dragon!
Capable of bearing ten thousand catties and traveling thousands of miles!
Even from its description, Su Li could tell that White Dragon was like him—surpassing the limits of horses. With his attributes surpassing human limits, Su Li’s running speed had already surpassed that of most horses.
Regular warhorses were too fragile for Su Li. Given his strength, he might inadvertently exert too much force and harm the horse. Moreover, riding a horse might not benefit much since his speed and strength wouldn’t improve, and his combat effectiveness might decrease.
A regular warhorse wasn’t suitable for Su Li, but the White Dragon was perfect. It was like a dragon surpassing horse limits, much like how Su Li surpassed human limits. White Dragon’s attributes were a match for Su Li’s requirements.
Most importantly, White Dragon could share one of the host’s free attributes!
Sharing power meant White Dragon had a strength of ten thousand catties. Sharing physique meant White Dragon would have unparalleled endurance and recovery abilities. It would heal overnight from injuries sustained during the day. In a way, White Dragon perfectly met Su Li’s needs.
However, the question remained, where was his horse? It wasn’t in the system warehouse. Su Li searched thoroughly but couldn’t find it. Did he lose it?
“The living goods will be automatically delivered within 1~30 days. Please pay attention, host.”
The system provided an answer.His horse wasn’t lost—it was just a matter of waiting.
With my current attributes, combined with this divine horse, and wearing heavy armor, I could be considered a humanoid tank in this era! Su Li thought, pleased with the idea.
The next day, Zhangsun Chong hesitated outside the princess’s mansion, unsure whether to submit a formal proposal. Without a doubt, this was a significant humiliation for him, as he believed. He had a past engagement with Princess Changle, so he used to come and go without needing to make any formal gestures.
I wonder if my cousin still cares about me, Zhangsun Chong thought.
Having grown up together and once been engaged, he recalled how he had excelled at poetry gatherings and believed his charm must have left a lasting impression on his cousin.
“But then again, Su Li is just a peasant,” Zhangsun Chong muttered. He couldn’t understand his cousin marrying a peasant. Despite Su Li’s good looks, he felt a peasant like him couldn’t compare to his status.
His cousin was inclined to literature and poetry. How could a peasant understand that? He probably wouldn’t even comprehend a single line of poetry she spoke.
Though he knew deep down that Princess Changle was no longer his and their relationship had faded, he still found himself at the princess’s mansion. He couldn’t shake off the thought that his cousin might still have feelings for him.
A mere peasant should know his place! he thought, reflecting on the day Su Li had seemingly disregarded him and had an intimate interaction with Princess Changle. The memory of his second visit to the mansion, where he was turned away, also stung.
Why should a peasant like you have the right? he pondered, convinced that Princess Changle must still hold some feelings for him. Before, it was merely due to her unconsciousness that Su Li had taken advantage and assumed the role of the master of the mansion.
But I want to show you that even if the engagement is null, your position in the mansion can’t compare to mine! Zhangsun Chong thought determinedly and submitted the formal proposal.
Inside the room, Su Li held the blushing Princess Changle in his arms.
“I can’t walk anymore,” Princess Changle admitted shyly.
“It’s alright. I’ll take care of you, feed you, and make sure you rest,” Su Li reassured, smiling as he gently wiped Princess Changle’s face with a warm cloth.
Last night, Su Li had acquired an additional 7,200,097 points in the system, along with a divine steed, the White Dragon. Although he hadn’t received the horse yet, he was in high spirits.
“Open the system store!” Su Li exclaimed, seizing the joyful occasion to explore potential good purchases for the day.
[Product 1: A small gift pack of attribute points, price: 10,000 points.Commodity Two: Aging Grace Pearl (Time Flies, Youth Remains) Value: 200,000 points.

Points balance: 43324]
Weapons are here! And there’s the Ageless Beauty Pearl too? I can give it to Changle! I also need to get the Attribute Points Small Gift Pack… But I don’t have enough points… Su Li thought.
It had been over a day since all his points were used up, and considering last night’s special situation, he had managed to save up another 40,000 points. This speed was quite impressive. After Changle woke up, she had been extremely accommodating to him. She almost wanted to spend 24 hours a day with him. In some ways, it was even faster than earning points before.
The City-Breaking Halberd was a pleasant surprise. He had always struggled with not having the right weapon. Given his physical condition, regular steel weapons didn’t meet his current needs. The City-Breaking Halberd from the system was perfect in weight and quality. And it had a growth feature that allowed him to spend points to strengthen it. As everyone knew, weapons with growth capabilities were extremely valuable.
As for the Ageless Beauty Pearl… it was not of much use to him, but since Changle had just woken up, he could give it to her as a gift to help maintain her youthful appearance.
With these three items, if he had the points, he would choose to buy them all. However, his points were not sufficient now. Only about 18 hours left until the points were restored, and he was still nearly 60,000 points short of buying the City-Breaking Halberd.
I can’t decide… Let’s start by permanently topping the Ageless Beauty Pearl! After much hesitation, Su Li decided to permanently top the Ageless Beauty Pearl.
He probably would not be able to afford it today, but by permanently locking the product at the top, he could earn enough points in three to five days.
As for the City-Breaking Halberd, it depended on whether he could earn enough points today. If he could earn 100,000 points, he would buy it. Otherwise, he would have to give up.
After all, his attributes were already unmatched in the entire Great Tang Dynasty. While the City-Breaking Halberd could enhance his combat power, it was unnecessary. This was probably the first time he had a lazy sleep in the four months since marrying Changle. Now, there were only about 18 hours left.
He had worked hard since marrying Changle four months ago. Now that she was awake, he wanted to give her a valuable gift. These points had all been gained from her, after all.
For the City-Breaking Halberd… I’ll do my best. Su Li thought
As for the Attribute Points Small Gift Pack, that was a matter for another time… one or two extra points in attributes would not make much difference.
“Wife… you might have to work a bit harder today…” Su Li said and had a somewhat sullen smile on his face.
“Eh?” Changle was puzzled.
“I’m planning to give you a gift… but my points are insufficient…” Su Li sighed.
Eh? If that’s the case, ever since my husband withdrew from the princess’s mansion… He can freely give orders. I’ll follow whatever my husband says. If my husband wants to use the money from the princess’s mansion to buy me a gift, it’s only fair, right? Changle thought.
