Many children, many blessings; a stunningly beautiful wife is given to you right from the start.

After purchasing Dingbei Prefecture, Lin Mo and his party headed straight for the human market.

He was too lazy to pick them one by one.

Find the largest human tooth directly and circle it with your finger.

"Take all of these, and those who look quick and efficient."

Money power is that simple and brutal.

A moment later, a large group of nearly forty people followed Lin Mo to the gate of Dingbei Prefecture.

At that moment, everyone, including the newly purchased servants and maids, held their breath.

The towering vermilion lintel resembled the mouth of a colossal beast. Beside the gate crouched two stone lions, each taller than a person, their eyes haughty, silently roaring.

Above the main gate, the three large characters "Dingbei Prefecture" on a black background with gold lettering are written in a vigorous and powerful style, exuding an aura of iron-blooded ruthlessness that makes it hard to breathe.

The gate alone is enough to make 99% of the houses in Blackwind City look like dirt and worthless.

"Oh My God……"

Su Qingyue covered her mouth, her watery eyes wide open.

"Lin Mo...we...we'll be living here from now on?"

Her face was filled with disbelief.

This place is several times larger than her family's mansion at the time!

Qin Ruxue, who was beside her, remained silent.

But in those usually cold and aloof, heroic eyes, an astonishing light ignited at this moment.

Her gaze seemed to pierce through the towering courtyard walls, locking onto a certain spot deep within the mansion.

There, she found what she longed for day and night.

The other sisters-in-law also had their mouths slightly open, their expressions almost blank.

Lin Mo stepped forward, braced his hands against the heavy vermilion gate, and pushed it forcefully.

"Squeak—"

A long, heavy sound of the door opening was like a sleeping beast awakening, announcing the arrival of its new owner.

Lin Mo turned around and grinned at the girls behind him who were still in a daze.

"What are you all standing there for?"

Welcome to our new home.

Only then did everyone snap out of their daze, and with somewhat unsteady steps, they stepped into the mansion that once belonged to the General of the North.

Upon entering, there is a huge square with neat and clean bluestone slabs.

At the end of the square stands the imposing main hall.

The interior furnishings are simple, yet they exude an aura of steely resolve and profound weight.

Directly above, the plaque bearing the words "Loyalty and Courage" is written with sharp strokes, exuding a chilling aura.

Below is a council chair that can accommodate more than twenty people.

"This is... way too serious."

Su Qingyue muttered to herself, feeling as if the air itself was icy cold.

Lin Mo was amused by her.

"Don't worry, this is a place for entertaining guests and discussing business; we're not staying here."

He led the group through the side corridor and officially entered the central courtyard living area.

Only now did the sisters-in-law truly understand what a terrifying concept the "dozens of courtyards" Qian Wancai had mentioned was.

Pavilions and towers, artificial hills and flowing water, winding paths leading to secluded spots, every step reveals a new scene.

Exquisite courtyards are scattered throughout the area like stars.

Some are by the water, some are against the mountains, and some are hidden in bamboo groves, each with its own unique scenery.

"Wow! That yard is so pretty! And there's a swing!"

The petite Fifth Sister-in-law was the first to scream, pointing to the small courtyard not far away, her eyes sparkling.

"Look at that covered walkway over there! It must be so comfortable to cool off there in the summer!"

"Wow! That attic is so high!"

The women's long-suppressed nature was completely unleashed, like a flock of birds that had stumbled into a fairyland, chirping and chattering, finding everything new and exciting.

Lin Mo stopped in front of the largest courtyard, which was ornately decorated and extremely luxurious.

"I'll stay here."

He is declaring sovereignty.

"From now on, this is my territory. No unauthorized personnel allowed, except for the lady."

Then he pointed to the smaller but equally exquisite courtyard next to him.

"From now on, we'll rename it 'Reflection Pavilion'."

"Anyone who makes me angry will be punished by being sent inside to reflect on their actions."

"We won't give them food!"

"You dare!"

A cold voice rang out, and Qin Ruxue's phoenix eyes flashed with murderous intent as she glared at Lin Mo.

Abusing her sisters? Absolutely not!

Lin Mo, however, was not buying it at all. He raised an eyebrow and a playful smile appeared on his lips.

"You'll see if I dare."

"you!"

Qin Ruxue's chest heaved with anger, but she was powerless to do anything about it. She could only snort coldly and turn her head to the side.

"Alright, alright, Second Sister, don't be angry anymore."

Su Qingyue quickly stepped in to smooth things over, tugging at Lin Mo's sleeve, "Shall we go check out the training ground?"

"What's the rush?"

Lin Mo glanced at Qin Ruxue's puffed-up profile and deliberately spoke slowly.

"The best stuff should naturally be saved for last."

Lin Mo glanced at Qin Ruxue and led everyone to the back garden.

I just wanted to whet someone's appetite, huh? Doesn't that annoy you?

Lin Mo internally complained.

Upon arriving at the back garden, a huge lotus pond shimmered in the sunlight, with a pavilion in the center and a winding corridor connecting the banks, where koi carp chased and frolicked in the water.

Wow! So beautiful!

The petite Fifth Sister-in-law exclaimed in surprise, her adorable baby face filled with excitement.

She ran to the corridor, looked at the koi in the water, and was overjoyed.

Afterwards, the group found a huge glass greenhouse.

Stepping inside, it's warm like springtime, with hundreds of flowers in full bloom, a riot of colors, and a delightful fragrance.

At this moment, all the sisters-in-law were completely captivated.

No woman can resist the allure of flowers.

They chattered excitedly about which flower was the prettiest and which variety was the most valuable, temporarily forgetting about Lin Mo.

"Ahem!"

Lin Mo felt neglected and quickly tried to make his presence known.

"Let's go! Let's go see the martial arts arena that your second sister has been longing to visit!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Ruxue immediately perked up and was the first to rush out of the greenhouse, as fast as an arrow released from a bow.

At the deepest part of the mansion was the enormous martial arts arena.

The ground, paved with bluestone, was spacious enough for an army to assemble.

The weapon racks all around were filled with swords, spears, halberds, axes, hooks, and forks, all gleaming coldly.

At the other end were archery targets that could hit a target from a hundred paces away and empty stables.

This is hardly a martial arts training ground.

This is clearly a small military camp!

Qin Ruxue's breathing became rapid.

She rushed to the weapon rack, her gaze sweeping over it before finally grasping a long, jet-black spear in her delicate hand.

A flick of the wrist!

hum!

The spear tip drew out a silver curtain of light, accompanied by a whooshing sound of wind tearing through the air.

The next moment, she moved.

His movements were as swift as lightning, and his spear thrusts like a dragon!

At times, it's like a dragon emerging from the sea, thrusting forward with tremendous force!

Sometimes it's like a tiger descending the mountain, sweeping away thousands of troops, its domineering power unmatched!

Gunshots flashed one after another, and the air was filled with the piercing whistling sound!

Everyone was stunned.

After finishing her set of marksmanship, Qin Ruxue put away her gun and stood still.

She stood quietly in the center of the training ground, fine beads of sweat glistening on her forehead, her beautiful face flushed with a healthy blush from extreme excitement.

She gripped the heavy spear, feeling the rough texture of it in her palm and the slight soreness in her muscles.

How long has it been?

Since her family was destroyed and she was driven from the bustling capital to this desolate border town, she has never touched these things again.

The morning exercise that used to be done at the crack of dawn has turned into confusion and fear about the future.

The long spear he was holding tightly was replaced by a cold, hard cornbread.

She thought that she would only be able to live her whole life like an ordinary woman, barely surviving in despair.

But now...

This familiar place.

After that exhilarating experience, the sound of my heart pounding powerfully in my chest.

All of this made her feel...

I've come back to life.

Those eyes, which were always icy, now seemed to be burning with flames. She radiated a dazzling light, so bright that it was hard to look directly at her.

"Second sister..."

Su Qingyue looked at her, and her eyes instantly reddened.

You look great.

Lin Mo was also stunned.

He knew Qin Ruxue came from a military family, but seeing it with his own eyes still had a greater impact than he had imagined.

This is hardly a delicate beauty.

This is clearly a valiant and heroic Valkyrie, ready to don her armor and go into battle at any moment!

Her tight-fitting outfit accentuated her perfectly toned waist and stunningly curvaceous figure.

Her movements were filled with explosive power and wild beauty.

"cough."

Lin Mo cleared his throat and walked over with his hands behind his back.

"good."

He offered his comments in a pretentious manner.

"This marksmanship is powerful and impressive, quite reminiscent of my own style back in the day."

"Pfft."

It's unclear who couldn't hold back, but all the sisters-in-law burst out laughing.

Your demeanor back then?

Weren't you a sickly person who could barely breathe even when you were in bed back then?

Qin Ruxue also glanced at Lin Mo; the frost in her burning eyes had long since melted away.

With a flick of her wrist, the butt of her spear slammed heavily to the ground with a thud.

Her phoenix eyes stared straight at Lin Mo with an aggressive intensity.

"Want to have a go?"
