It was early morning, just as dawn was breaking.

The deafening clanging sound echoed through the Lin family's courtyard.

"Get up! Get up! Qingyue, sisters-in-law, the sun's already high in the sky!"

Lin Mo held a copper basin in one hand and a fire poker in the other, banging it around with great enthusiasm, his face full of a mischievous smile.

Inside the room, the beauties lying haphazardly were suffering terribly from the noise.

The petite and charming Fifth Sister-in-law covered her head with the quilt, twisting and turning in bed, making silent protests.

The fiery-tempered fourth sister-in-law sat up abruptly, her hair a mess, and glared angrily at the door.

If she hadn't been wearing only a thin nightgown, she definitely would have gone out and fought Lin Mo to the death.

Qin Ruxue, who had been sleeping with her sword in her arms, slowly opened her eyes, her brows furrowed into a knot.

She wasn't woken up because she hadn't really slept at all.

She could hear everything clearly from the "barrier" created by that tattered bed sheet last night.

"Lin Mo! Are you crazy?!"

A shy yet anxious scolding rang out, and the door was suddenly pulled open.

Su Qingyue didn't even have time to put on her clothes. She was wrapped in a thin blanket and ran out barefoot.

Her fair, delicate feet touched the cold ground, causing her to involuntarily flinch.

"It's not even dawn yet, what are you banging on in the yard for!"

Her pretty face flushed red with anger, and her watery eyes were full of reproach.

Lin Mo stopped what he was doing and looked her up and down.

Beneath the thin blanket, her graceful curves were faintly visible, especially the breathtaking arc of her chest, which pushed the blanket into an alluring shape.

Her shoulders were partially exposed, her collarbones were exquisite, and her long black hair cascaded down like a waterfall. Coupled with her languid and shy expression as if she had just woken up, she was simply the epitome of pure and alluring.

Lin Mo chuckled and moved closer.

"My lady, why are you so enthusiastic so early in the morning? You even came out wrapped in our 'battle robes' to greet me?"

The words "battle robe" instantly reminded Su Qingyue of the embarrassing scenes from last night.

She then realized what she looked like, and it was utterly embarrassing!

"You...you're shameless!"

Su Qingyue stomped her foot, turned around and ran into the house, her movements as fast as a little rabbit.

Lin Mo watched her flee in disarray, feeling quite pleased. He picked up the copper basin, ready to give her another round of wake-up service.

when--

"Stop knocking!"

From inside the house came the indignant cries of seven or eight women.

……

A moment later, inside the room.

Lin Mo and a group of beauties sat around a wooden table that was about to fall apart.

All eight sisters-in-law had dark circles under their eyes, looked sleepy, and appeared completely exhausted.

They were all internally ranting and raving.

What kind of animal is this brother-in-law?! How can he have so much energy?

He kept his sister-in-law up until midnight, but in the morning he was still full of energy!

And my sister-in-law too!

How come she doesn't look haggard at all? On the contrary, her skin is becoming more and more radiant, and she is becoming more and more beautiful?

Lin Mo cleared his throat, ignoring the resentful looks from his sisters-in-law.

"Today, I've gathered everyone here to announce a momentous event that will determine the future of our family!"

He paused deliberately, waiting for his sisters-in-law's admiring and expectant reaction.

However, the nine beauties just slumped their heads and propped their chins up, not even bothering to glance at him.

His third sister-in-law, who was closest to him, even yawned, tears welling up in her eyes.

Lin Mo: "..."

I rely on?

The script is wrong!

Shouldn't you all be looking at me with shock and admiration, asking in unison, "What big plan does your brother-in-law have?"

Why is there no reaction at all!

This audience is terrible!

Lin Mo felt his prestige was being challenged, so he slammed his hand on the table and stood up.

"Today, we're going to buy a big house!"

His voice was loud and authoritative.

The sisters-in-law finally reacted. They all looked up at Lin Mo, then weakly echoed, "Oh..."

Lin Mo was completely stunned.

That's it?

Just one "Oh"?

Su Qingyue couldn't bear to watch any longer. She reached out and tugged at Lin Mo's sleeve, gently advising him.

"Lin Mo, stop joking. It's early in the morning, everyone's still asleep, and no one's in the mood to listen to your jokes."

She paused, then added.

"We all saw the silver you brought back yesterday; it was several dozen taels!"

"If we spend it sparingly, it'll be enough for us to live on for many years to come."

"We're already very satisfied. As for a house... let's not even think about that."

The other sisters-in-law nodded in agreement.

In their view, even the most dilapidated and smallest house in Blackwind City would cost a hundred or eighty taels of silver, which was simply beyond their reach.

Lin Mo robbed a few bandits and got a few dozen taels of silver, which was already a huge surprise.

"Who's kidding! I'm serious! I didn't just steal those few!"

Lin Mo got anxious when he saw their "we understand, stop bragging" expressions.

"No way, we're going to buy it today! The biggest one in town!"

No matter what, the sisters-in-law all had an "Mmm, okay, okay" expression on their faces.

Lin Mo felt that his dignity had been severely trampled on!

Damn it, I have to give you guys a little shock!

"I'm not kidding!"

Lin Mo roared and waved his hand at the air.

The next second, a heavy wooden crate crashed onto the dilapidated wooden table with a loud thud.

That already rickety wooden table couldn't withstand such weight.

With a "crack," a table leg broke off.

The table suddenly tilted, and the box full of silver crashed to the ground with a thud.

The lid of the box popped open, and gleaming silver ingots rolled all over the ground.

The blinding silver light was so intense that it was impossible to open one's eyes.

"..."

The entire room fell silent instantly.

Nine pairs of beautiful eyes widened in disbelief, and their mouths opened into an "O" shape.

Su Qingyue was the first to come to her senses. She stammered as she pointed at the silver ingots scattered on the ground, her voice trembling.

"Lin...Lin Mo...did those bandits you robbed yesterday...have...have that much money!?"

"Those few poor bastards?"

Lin Mo curled his lip in disdain, "They only have a few dozen taels on them, enough to feed beggars!"

"These are the spoils of war I took when I casually wiped out their mountain stronghold."

"What!?"

Before Su Qingyue could speak, Qin Ruxue, who had been silent all along, exclaimed in surprise.

She stared intently at Lin Mo, her face filled with disbelief.

Su Qingyue pressed on, "You...you robbed a mountain stronghold?"

"Yeah, right." Lin Mo leaned closer to Su Qingyue and grinned mischievously.

"How about it? Isn't your husband amazing?"

As he spoke, Lin Mo's hand couldn't resist giving that soft, perky breast a squeeze.

"you!"

Su Qingyue was both embarrassed and angry, and lightly punched him with her small fist.

Lin Mo laughed heartily, and amidst the shocked gazes of the crowd, he waved his hand again, and the silver ingots scattered on the ground vanished without a trace, as if they had never existed.

This ability to appear and disappear out of thin air shocked them even more than the silver ingots scattered all over the ground.

Seeing his sisters-in-law's stunned expressions, Lin Mo felt incredibly satisfied.

Showing off makes people happy.

Showing off in front of beautiful women is even more fun!

"Alright, alright, sisters-in-law, stop standing there!"

Lin Mo clapped his hands and waved them triumphantly.

"No need to clean up any junk, let's replace everything with new stuff!"

He raised his voice very high, as if afraid someone wouldn't hear him.

"Now, immediately, right now, follow my lead and let's go!"

"Target: The biggest restaurant in town! Let's eat something good first, then buy a mansion!"

After saying that, Lin Mo swaggered out of the house.

But the nine beauties behind him were still standing there, looking as if they had lost their souls, as if they were dreaming.

Su Qingyue instinctively clutched her chest, where the rapid beating had not yet subsided.

Qin Ruxue stared at Lin Mo in shock. She knew better than anyone what taking down a mountain stronghold meant; it was not as simple as robbing a few bandits!

Lin Mo took two steps and found that it was quiet behind him; no one was following him.

"Hey, let's go! What are you waiting for?"

Seeing that they still didn't move, Lin Mo simply picked up the copper basin again.

"Clang! Clang!"

This finally brought everyone back to their senses.

The nine women seemed to wake from a dream. They looked at each other, then stood up blankly and followed Lin Mo out the door.

However, they had just stepped into the courtyard.

Bang-!

With a loud crash, the already dilapidated courtyard gate was kicked into pieces from the outside!
