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

At dinner time, Dingbei Prefecture became truly lively for the first time.

The long rosewood dining table was laden with delicacies from land and sea, filling the air with their aroma.

The new chef put in all his effort, showcasing almost everything he had learned in his first dinner.

Lin Mo sat in the main seat, with the shy Su Qingyue on his left and Qin Ruxue, whose face was still flushed, on his right. Below them were his beautiful sisters-in-law, each with their own unique charm.

A host of maids and servants stood at attention, and the entire mansion finally exuded the grandeur of a large family.

The meal was thoroughly enjoyed.

The sisters-in-law's long-suppressed sorrow vanished in an instant, accompanied by fine wine, delicious food, and silvery laughter.

Their faces regained their individual radiance.

After the meal, the beauties chattered and returned to their newly chosen courtyards, and the vast mansion gradually quieted down.

Lin Mo returned alone to his own main courtyard, the most luxurious and best-located courtyard in the entire Dingbei Prefecture – "Tianxin Pavilion".

With a creak, the heavy door closed, shutting out all the noise from the outside world.

The room was brightly lit by candles, illuminating the entire space.

Lin Mo lay down on the large rosewood bed, which was big enough for seven or eight people to lie down on, and let out a long sigh of relief.

Cool!

From a dilapidated house with bare walls to a luxurious mansion covering eighty acres, from struggling to find food to having a large number of servants.

This feeling is even more exciting than cheating in video games in my past life.

Instead of resting, he eagerly immersed himself in the "Record of Peerless Beauty" in his mind.

With a thought, the ancient scroll unfolded, passing over Su Qingyue's already lit and charming portrait, and stopped on a brand new picture.

Qin Ruxue's illustration is amazing!

Golden light shimmered, and a vivid portrait of a beautiful woman slowly unfolded on the scroll.

On the scroll, a stunningly beautiful and heroic woman leaps off the page.

She wore a black and red tight-fitting outfit that perfectly accentuated her incredibly alluring figure.

Her long, jet-black hair was tied up high, revealing her smooth, full forehead and slender swan neck.

She held a silver spear in her hand, its tip gleaming coldly, and stood in a desolate training ground, with the setting sun like blood against the backdrop of the setting sun.

On that bright and beautiful face, her expression was aloof, yet her pair of bright, starry eyes revealed a stubbornness and fighting spirit that refused to admit defeat.

The whole painting is both beautiful and powerful, full of strength and stunning aesthetics.

Lin Mo clicked his tongue in amazement.

This system is not only a pervert, but also a top-notch artist.

He lowered his gaze to the text below the illustration.

[Beauty]: Qin Ruxue

Status: Included

【Beauty Rating】: 94/100 (Eyes sparkling like stars)

[Activation Condition]: Make Qin Ruxue wear a sexy dancer outfit and dance for you.

[Talent Effect]: After activation, the host gains the "Resilient" physique, which can greatly reduce damage caused by physical means such as sharp blades, blunt weapons, fists and feet.

Lin Mo's expression froze.

He looked at it three times to make sure he wasn't seeing things.

Make Qin Ruxue... wear a sexy dancer outfit... and dance for him!?

Lin Mo's lips twitched violently.

The image instantly appeared in his mind.

Qin Ruxue, who was usually as aloof as an iceberg and would fight him with a stick at the drop of a hat,

She changed into a dancer's outfit made of only a few pieces of fabric, with small bells hanging from her waist...

As the music played, her face flushed, she bit her lip and swayed her slender waist and pert peach-shaped buttocks in front of him...

hiss!

The scene was too beautiful for him to imagine!

This isn't a mission; this is clearly an attempt to kill him!

Given Qin Ruxue's fiery temper, if I dared to make such a request, she would probably grab a gun and chase me to the ends of the earth!

"System, are you seriously ill?"

Lin Mo couldn't help but complain.

"Winning over Su Qingyue means getting her to willingly call him 'husband,' which sounds fairly normal."

"Why does the style suddenly become so bizarre when it comes to Qin Ruxue?"

"Are you sure this is the 'Family Prosperity' system, and not the 'Host's Suicide' system?"

The system did not respond.

Lin Mo sighed and rubbed his temples.

However, this [talent effect] instantly ignited a burning passion in Lin Mo's eyes.

tough.

Significantly reduces physical damage.

Isn't this the legendary Golden Bell Cover or Iron Shirt?

In the future, if you get into a fight, even if others slash and hack at you, you can just stand there and let them hit you without getting hurt.

Isn't this a walking human weapon, the strongest trump card for survival?

Blackwind City is a melting pot of all sorts of people, and the enemies we will face in the future are even more unfathomable.

Having this "unyielding" physique is equivalent to having the real capital to act recklessly!

This talent is a must-have!

"No, no, this can't be rushed."

Lin Mo forced himself to calm down.

This talent is tempting, but life is more important.

This matter requires careful consideration and a gradual approach!

First, I need to find a way to increase Qin Ruxue's intimacy level with me. Once she's completely devoted to me, then I can bring this up again.

Yes, that's the plan!

Lin Mo turned off the system panel and sat up in bed.

It's time to get down to business.

With a thought, he dumped all the wealth he had looted from Black Wind Stronghold and Wang Daba's treasury into his system space.

"Splash—"

In an instant, gold and silver treasures poured down like a waterfall, piling up in front of him into a glittering little mountain.

The entire room was shrouded in jewels and precious stones.

Golden gold bars, gleaming silver ingots, and chests shimmering with pearls, agate, jade, antiques, and calligraphy and paintings of various colors...

The air was filled with the unique, intoxicating stench of money.

Having not had time before, Lin Mo took out all the looted items and organized them. Even though he was mentally prepared, he was still shocked by the scene before him.

"Holy crap..."

He pounced on it like a greedy dragon, burying himself in the pile of money.

The cold, hard gold bars against my face, the warm, smooth jade against my hands—this feeling was so damn reassuring!

After a while, Lin Mo finally snapped out of his daze of immense satisfaction and began to enthusiastically take stock of his spoils.

He neatly stacked the gold bars one by one.

One, two, three... one hundred and twenty.

Based on the gold-silver exchange rate in this world, one stick is worth 500 taels of silver, and 120 sticks would be worth 60,000 taels of silver.

Add to that the nearly 80,000 taels of silver already in hand, and those several large boxes of priceless jewelry, jade, antiques, and calligraphy and paintings…

Lin Mo roughly calculated that his current net worth was approximately 200,000 taels of silver.

Two hundred thousand taels of silver.

What does this mean?

In Daxia, one mu of good land is worth ten taels of silver. Two hundred thousand taels can buy twenty thousand mu of land.

This is equivalent to half of all the arable land in a medium-sized county town, making him a true "landlord"!

Looking at this huge sum of money, Lin Mo felt a sense of peace he had never known before.

This is the source of his confidence in making a living in this world.

With this money, he could recruit soldiers and build his own power.

It can also lay a solid foundation for future investigations into family injustices, revenge against treacherous officials, and even the overthrow of the entire Great Xia Dynasty.

"Money is a good thing!"

Lin Mo was filled with emotion and returned all his belongings to the system space.

After taking stock of his wealth, Lin Mo lay back down on the soft bed, but couldn't fall asleep.

When people are well-fed and warm, they start thinking about other things.

Lin Mo's mind was filled with images of those beautiful, delicate faces from the daytime, like a movie playing in his head.

Especially Su Qingyue, when he held her in his arms, her gentle warmth, her mature charm, and that shy, hesitant "husband"...

It was like pouring a whole bottle of popping candy into his mouth, both numbing and sweet, making him feel uncomfortable all over!

And then there's Qin Ruxue, with that amazing feel...

hiss!

Lin Mo felt the true energy within his body, as if it had been turbocharged, rampaging through his meridians, clamoring to go out and do something worthwhile.

"No, I can't take it anymore!"

Lin Mo sprang up from the bed with a somersault.

We used to live in that dilapidated house with virtually no soundproofing. At night, even the slightest noise would become a live broadcast that the whole family could hear.

This is Dingbei Prefecture now!

Eighty acres of land! The yards are separated by a vast distance!

Let alone doing anything inside the house, even if you were doing a set of radio calisthenics in the yard, the neighbors wouldn't hear a thing.

The timing was perfect, the location was ideal, and the people were supportive.

If I don't go to the First Madam to exchange cultivation insights now, it would be a disservice to the family fortune that Wang Daba has worked so hard to build!

Lin Mo pushed open the door, his figure flashed, and he slipped into the night.

By the moonlight, he navigated the place with practiced ease, as if he were returning home, and quietly slipped into Su Qingyue's residence, "Nongyue Pavilion"...
