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

The moon was high in the sky, and the night was as dark as ink.

Lin Mo pushed open Qin Ruxue's door very gently.

The room was not lit with candles; only a single candle burned in front of the dressing table.

The tiny flame flickered gently, casting a long, slender silhouette on the wall.

Qin Ruxue had already taken a bath and changed into a light silk nightgown. The light blue material clung smoothly to her curvaceous figure.

Her long, jet-black hair cascaded down her shoulders like a waterfall, making her snow-white neck appear as exquisite as fine porcelain.

She sat upright on the edge of the bed, holding a book on military strategy in her hands, her posture dignified, as if she were studying it carefully.

But Lin Mo noticed at a glance that she was holding the book upside down.

Moreover, from the moment he entered the door until now, her captivating phoenix eyes have never left the doorway; she's just stubbornly refraining from turning her head.

The air was still faintly filled with the scent of crabapple blossoms after a bath, mixed with a hint of tension and anticipation.

Lin Mo chuckled inwardly. This spirited horse said no, but its body was very honest.

He deliberately made his footsteps louder.

"My wife, it's so late, are you waiting for me?"

He walked to the bedside, his voice carrying just the right amount of teasing.

Qin Ruxue's body stiffened almost imperceptibly, then she slammed the book shut and tossed it aside.

She turned her head, and on her stunningly beautiful face, illuminated by the candlelight, she forced a cold expression.

"Who's waiting for you? Don't be so presumptuous!"

But her slightly reddened earlobes and somewhat rapid breathing completely betrayed her true feelings.

She avoided Lin Mo's gaze, her voice unconsciously softening, carrying a hint of shyness she herself was unaware of.

"What...what brings you here?"

Qin Ruxue wanted to bite her tongue off as soon as she asked the question.

You know perfectly well why you're asking this!

This bastard grinned and told me this morning that I'd have the energy to keep training tonight, but now he's sneaking into my room in the middle of the night. What could he possibly be doing?

Naturally, it's all for that so-called "cultivation"!

Hmph, you filthy scoundrel!

Seeing her adorable, contradictory expression, Lin Mo decided to add fuel to the fire.

He looked somewhat embarrassed, his eyes darting around, as if he was reluctant to speak.

"Um...actually...sigh."

He sighed heavily.

"I came to see my wife so late because... I just couldn't hold back any longer..."

"I...I'm in so much pain, so I wanted to find you, my wife..."

boom!

These words exploded in Qin Ruxue's mind like a thunderclap!

Can't hold it in any longer?

It's so painful?

That lecherous scoundrel! That bastard with a head full of filthy thoughts!

He actually managed to put this kind of thing so... bluntly!

Qin Ruxue's face flushed red all the way to the roots of her neck.

The villain in her mind had already beaten Lin Mo a thousand times.

Hmph, I knew you were a scoundrel with that kind of thing on your mind!

At least you still have some conscience, knowing to come to me for "cultivation"!

Although she felt a mix of shame and indignation, the thought of the exhilarating surge of power she experienced during the daytime martial arts training ground quickly melted away her initial resistance, like spring snow meeting the blazing sun.

"Well... okay then."

Qin Ruxue lowered her head, her voice barely audible, her eyes avoiding Lin Mo's gaze, her slender fingers twisting the hem of her clothes helplessly.

To make herself seem less casual, she added another sentence.

"But don't misunderstand! I... I'm just doing this to cultivate, to make myself stronger!"

"I didn't... I really didn't want to... do that with you!"

As she spoke, she seemed to have made up her mind. She bit her cherry lips and her trembling fingers began to untie her clothes.

The wide sash seemed to become incredibly mischievous under her tense fingertips, and she couldn't untie it no matter how hard she tried.

In this awkward and ambiguous atmosphere, Lin Mo suddenly asked a question.

"Hmm? My wife?"

"What are you doing? Why are you taking your clothes off?"

Qin Ruxue: "?"

She paused, her whole body stiffened, and her mind went blank.

What do you mean... Why would I take my clothes off?

Qin Ruxue raised her head, her phoenix eyes, misty with moisture, filled with confusion and bewilderment.

"No... I won't take off my clothes... what...?"

How do I cultivate?

She was too ashamed to say what came next.

Lin Mo seemed to suddenly realize something and slapped his forehead.

"Oh dear! My wife, you've misunderstood! A huge misunderstanding!"

He hurriedly pulled an old-fashioned, thread-bound book from his pocket and handed it to Qin Ruxue.

"My wife, look! The reason I've called you here so late is because this afternoon, I accidentally obtained an ancient book on formations!"

"The knowledge inside is so exquisite, but also so obscure and difficult to understand. I spent half a day alone in my study, racking my brains, but I just couldn't figure it out!"

"I was so frustrated that I came to see you so late at night, hoping you, the daughter of a military family, could give me some guidance and answer my questions!"

Qin Ruxue was completely petrified.

She stared blankly at the tattered book in Lin Mo's hand, then looked at her half-undone sash, feeling as if the whole world was spinning.

It took her a full three breaths to process Lin Mo's words.

"You...you mean...you came to my room so late just so I could explain the formation to you???"

Her voice was trembling, whether from anger or embarrassment, it was hard to tell.

"Of course!"

Lin Mo looked righteous and awe-inspiring.

"What else could it be? Could it be for you...?"

"Oh dear! My wife, how could you think of me like that?"

"In your heart, am I the kind of person with a head full of filthy thoughts?!"

Looking at Lin Mo's face, which was brimming with "purity," Qin Ruxue's heart was screaming wildly:

You are! You are!

You are more despicable than anyone else!

Lin Mo's gaze "inadvertently" fell on Qin Ruxue's half-undone nightgown, which revealed a large expanse of her fair skin and delicate collarbone.

He pointed, feigning surprise.

"But speaking of which... what are you doing, my wife?"

"Could it be... that you want to do this to me..."

"No! I didn't! Don't talk nonsense!"

Qin Ruxue seemed to have stepped on an electric shock, her whole body jolted, and she quickly tied her belt, her movements so fast that they left afterimages.

Her face was so red it looked like it could bleed, and she wished she could disappear into the ground.

What a shame!

This is an utter disgrace!

I actually... I actually misunderstood!

He even took the initiative to... to take off his clothes!

"I...I took off my clothes because...because I was sleepy!"

"Yes! I'm so sleepy, I need to sleep! Please leave right now and don't disturb my sleep!"

She shouted incoherently, trying to use the volume to cover up her guilt and embarrassment.

"But my wife, this formation of mine..."

Lin Mo held up the book in his hand, looking troubled.

"What kind of bullshit formation is this!"

"We'll talk about it tomorrow! I'm going to sleep now! Get out!"

Qin Ruxue was both ashamed and angry, and kept pushing Lin Mo towards the door.

A violent storm was brewing within her heart at that moment.

That despicable Lin Mo! That damned Lin Mo!

You idiot Lin Mo! You stinking bastard!

I took a bath, burned incense, changed into my newly bought nightgown, and waited for you for two whole hours!

You told me this morning that you were going to continue your "cultivation" tonight, but now you've completely forgotten about it!

Have you lost your mind?!

What a waste of my... what a waste of my anticipation!

Qin Ruxue cursed Lin Mo in her heart, her eyes reddening with anger.

Just then, Lin Mo, who was about to be pushed to the door, sighed softly again.

"Wife, are you really not going to help me take a look at this formation book?"

"I won't watch!"

"I said I was going to sleep! Get out of my sight right now!"

Qin Ruxue roared angrily.

"Sigh... okay."

Lin Mo's face showed utter disappointment as he turned away dejectedly.

"Since you're tired, my wife, I won't disturb your rest any longer."

"As for this book, 'The Complete Ten Directions Annihilation Array,' I think I'll have to find someone else to give me some pointers."

He spoke softly, but he enunciated a few words with remarkable clarity.

Qin Ruxue, who was so angry that she was practically fuming, had nothing but "stinky Lin Mo" and "bastard" in her mind and didn't hear anything clearly.

"Go away! Go find someone else! Don't bother me!"

She waved her hand impatiently, as if shooing away a fly.

Lin Mo's lips curled into a fox-like smile as he turned to walk towards the door.

One step, two steps...

Just as his foot was about to step out of the doorway.

A scream as loud as thunder suddenly came from behind!

"Wait a moment!"

Qin Ruxue's voice was filled with uncontrollable shock and trembling.

She seemed to have just woken up from a dream, her beautiful phoenix eyes wide open, staring intently at Lin Mo's back.

"What...what did you just say?!"

"What... the complete version!?"
