Minglong

Chapter 441 When in doubt, have five!
Sunlight streamed onto the windowsill, and conversations filled the room, yet the atmosphere was strangely tranquil.

Empress Dowager Guo leaned against the table, her long, wine-red hair shimmering in the sunlight. After a few cups of wine, a slight blush rose to her fair cheeks. She had been wondering why there had been no movement for so long when she heard the divine whispers in her ear once more:
"then."

catch?
What am I supposed to use to receive this?

Empress Dowager Guo opened her mouth, her eyes blank, but fortunately her clever disciple pulled her hand and led her under the table...

Empress Dowager Guo's shoulder twitched slightly from the burn, and she quickly enveloped and refined it with her qi. Her previously normal expression showed a hint of evasion, and her pair of green eyes glanced out the window.

Xie Jinhuan rested his chin on his hand on the table, seemingly deep in thought with a furrowed brow, but in reality, he had almost forgotten his own surname, and there was an undeniable sense of embarrassment between his brows.

Fortunately, this strange situation did not last long.

After a short while, Bu Yuehua stood up from the table, looking like a female doctor who had just finished surgery. Xie Jinhuan gently patted her back to comfort her, and asked:

"Is that possible?"

Although Empress Dowager Guo was experiencing great inner turmoil, she maintained her composure and nodded slightly.

"Yes, this method is actually the same as Yin-Yang replenishment, just in a different way. As for its effectiveness... this method still has some limitations, and the difference in cultivation between you and me is quite large. To fully recover, it would probably take dozens of sessions..."

Bu Yuehua breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Zisu's bad idea actually worked, but only a few dozen times...

This might be a bit of a waste of Xie Lang's talents...

After all, using "adding fuel to the fire" to stimulate extreme yang fire is, to put it simply, using strong medicine to stimulate potential, which is very damaging to kidney qi. After dozens of times, it will definitely turn into medicine residue.

and……

Bu Yuehua adjusted her glasses and asked:

"The frequency is manageable; just take the medicine twice a day, morning and evening, and recovery will take about ten days. But do I have to keep helping my master indefinitely...?"

"..."

The Valkyrie also felt this was too difficult, but a two-week recovery and the ability to carry the "Ah Huan brand power bank" with her at all times was clearly more convenient than going to Fire Phoenix Valley for several months of seclusion. Therefore, she nodded in agreement.
"That's true, it might take you a few days of hard work."

Bu Yuehua felt that this would probably take more than a few days. After all, recovery would still require consumption, and her mana bar would be depleted after just one battle. Since her master refused to personally take to the field, this matter would become her daily routine until her master took to the field himself.
But she couldn't disobey her master's orders. Bu Yuehua had finally managed to get such a powerful master; if she didn't show him proper respect, who would she turn to for protection if she were bullied by that slutty nun in the future? Therefore, she gently nodded...
-
Shortly after.

Xie Jinhuan walked out of the room and watched as Sister Bu, her face flushed, ran back to her room to wash up. Although he had a very enjoyable experience, he was also a little confused. He had come to apologize to Sister Guo, but how did it suddenly turn into the master and apprentice exploiting him together?
Is this what it means to be destined for romantic entanglements...?

While lost in thought, Xie Jinhuan went downstairs, intending to continue grilling fish and deliver some to Bing Tuozi and the others. However, before she even reached the kitchen, she was suddenly dragged into a small dark room and pinned against the wall.

Thump~
"Eh? Hey, heroine..."

Xie Jinhuan was caught off guard and thought that Bing Tuozi was angry about the 'Nine Pearl Fairy' and was about to teach him a lesson, but when he looked closely, he saw that the person in front of him was a dignified and intellectual big-breasted girl.

Naigua was still a little nervous. She pressed him down to carefully look outside, and only after confirming that no one was around did she whisper:

"What did you do just now?"

"Uh……"

Xie Jinhuan was a little confused:
"I went to visit Sister Guo. What happened?"

Ye Yunchi was terrified, but dared not show it in front of Master Ye. Now that he had finally escaped, he anxiously asked:
"Who exactly is that Night Maiden? She... she can tell fortunes, see past and future events, and even manifest images..."

Upon hearing this, Xie Jinhuan knew that the ghost had just frightened Naigua, and gently comforted her:
"It's alright, Sister Ye is family. Even if she finds out, she won't tell anyone."

Ye Yunchi knew that enlightened masters wouldn't speak carelessly and ruin people's reputations, but the absurd things she had done were enough to make her feel ashamed if even a third party knew about them.

In her view, there was only one way to escape this predicament—to become a couple!
After all, she was nameless and without status. As a senior member of a Confucian family, it was immoral and scandalous for her to do bad things with a young man behind his back.

But if they become a proper married couple, then any outrageous behavior they might do in private is perfectly acceptable. Even if Miss Ye is allowed to spy on their married life, no one can laugh at her anymore. In fact, if she is allowed to spy on them at will, it would be considered that Miss Ye is of questionable character, not that she is immoral...

Moreover, if she's lucky enough to conceive secretly, then she'll be the rightful legal mother of the eldest son and daughter of the Xie family. No matter how early others arrive, how can they compete with her given the established fact that a mother's status depends on her son?
Ye Yunchi was probably under pressure and just wanted to make things legitimate as soon as possible. At this moment, he pressed down on Xie Jinhuan and gritted his teeth:

"Xie Jinhuan, do you have feelings for me?"

Xie Jinhuan was a little amused:
"If I had no feelings for you, would I have kissed you like that?"

"I'm also interested in you. Since we're mutually attracted and have already been intimate, we can't just stay stuck like this..."

"Oh?"

Xie Jinhuan was flattered and picked up the baby:

"Sister Ye, are you trying to force things? Let's go back inside and talk..."

"Eh!"

Ye Yunchi quickly held Xie Jinhuan down and first gave him a serious warning:
"You have to promise me two things first!" Xie Jinhuan blinked:

"what's up?"

Ye Yunchi adopted the demeanor of a female tutor and said earnestly:
"Marriage between a man and a woman must be legitimate. You must promise me that you will hold a wedding as soon as possible and take me home as your lawful wife!"

Xie Jinhuan nodded: "We definitely need to have a wedding. Once we've dealt with Elder Sikong, we'll start making preparations..."

Ye Yunchi nodded and continued:

"When you and I... when we do that kind of thing, we can't deliberately avoid pregnancy; we have to let nature take its course..."

Xie Jinhuan was genuinely taken aback when he heard this.

After embarking on the path of cultivation, cultivators gain greater control over their bodies. Even someone like Wanyi, whose cultivation level is not high, can prevent unwanted pregnancy by sealing her meridians. Otherwise, she would have been forced to eat until she was stuffed like a puff pastry every time, and her baby would be almost born by now.

In the past, neither Tuozi nor Bujie dared to become the sect leader while heavily pregnant, and Wanyi and Ling'er dared not act recklessly for fear of being nagged by their parents. Duoduo was even less likely to preempt the princess. Therefore, they were all very careful about this.

If everything were left to chance without any safety precautions, then given his and Sister Ye's flawless martial arts physiques, both of their winning bids would have been due to underperformance. They would almost certainly become fathers within ten months of each other's arrival, with no possibility of any accidents.

Xie Jinhuan was naturally extremely honored when Nai Gua said she wanted to have his child:

"Is Sister Ye planning to have a baby for me?"

Ye Yunchi's face flushed slightly, though he still spoke in a serious tone:

"If it's not for procreation and continuing the family line, what else could it be for?"

To enjoy yourself to the fullest...

Xie Jinhuan thought so, but he couldn't say it outright. The essence of love between men and women was indeed for procreation. He was about to nod in agreement, but at that moment, the door was suddenly pushed open.

wow-

Ye Yunchi was startled and quickly got out of Xie Jinhuan's arms and stood up straight.

Turning around, one sees the peerless Immortal Ye, arms crossed, leaning against the doorway, his gaze meaningfully observing:

"Oh my, it's Sister Ye! I just heard some gurgling noises here and thought some mice were stealing the rice..."

?

Ye Yunchi was caught being intimate with her boyfriend, and her expression was inevitably awkward. She dared not mention having five children again and walked away in silence.

"I'm just wandering around here, Sister Ye, please don't misunderstand, um... I'm going out to take a look..."

Ye Hongshang leaned against the doorway, watching Ye Yunchi flee in disarray. His gaze lingered on her swaying hips, his eyes filled with a meaningful look.

Seeing the ghost wife's expression, Xie Jinhuan knew she was under pressure again, and stepped forward, saying:

"Um... you..."

Ye Hongshang was clearly unhappy because Nai Gua almost raided his base, and he pinched A Huan's waist:

"You just give it to them because they want it? Where's your backbone?"

?

Xie Jinhuan figured the girl had asked for it, so how could he refuse? But he also understood A Piao's intentions, so he said gently:
"Sister Ye just wants a baby, she didn't steal the eldest child..."

Ye Hongshang isn't stupid. If Naigua succeeds in her attempt to take a risky approach, and then confronts her with five kids, she might not be able to retaliate. Would she still be the eldest daughter?
But it would be a bit too hasty for her to become a mother so soon after the wedding...

Since Nai Gua's heart is as hard as iron and he insists on having five children, making it impossible to control, then we can only deal with the people who are causing the problems first...

Thinking of this, Ye Hongshang placed her hand on Xie Jinhuan's waist, closed her eyes, and began to act strangely.

?

Xie Jinhuan was taken aback upon seeing this, and grasped the ghost wife's hand:
"Honey, you're not planning to get me sterilized, are you?"

"How could that be? It just makes things a little more difficult. With other girls, you can get pregnant on the first try, but with Naigua, you have to try a hundred times to get pregnant."

One hundred times?!
Xie Jinhuan's eyes widened slightly, realizing that this might be a bit of bullying Naigua!
Thinking of Senior Sister Ye working so hard, only to find she couldn't hold her baby, and having to rack her brains to try even harder...

Xie Jinhuan suddenly felt that a hundred times wouldn't be unacceptable; it would just mean he'd suffer a bit more. After all, a man should endure some hardship. So, he didn't say anything at the moment...
