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

Su Qingyue's tears flowed again, and the women around her swarmed around her.

"Oh! Let me hug you too!"

Xia Man'er, with her large head, squeezed in.

"Get off me! You're so strong, you'll hurt the baby!"

Ye Yunshang grabbed Xia Man'er by the back of her collar and forcibly dragged her away.

"Look at me! Look at me! Her eyelashes are so long! She looks just like my husband!"

Xia Ruoling stood on tiptoe, her eyes sparkling.

On the perimeter, Luo Xue and You Ruo stood alone.

Luo Xue crossed her arms and stared at the chattering group of women with her red eyes.

"My husband... is so romantic in the mortal realm."

Luo Xue gritted her teeth.

You Ruo tugged at Luo Xue's sleeve.

"Master, don't we seem a bit superfluous?"

"Shut up."

Luo Xue snorted coldly.

Ye Yunshang has extremely sharp ears. She turned her head sharply and her gaze swept over Luo Xue and You Ruo like a radar.

Their gazes finally settled on You Ruo's alluring figure.

"etc!"

Ye Yunshang narrowed her eyes. She then reached back and pulled out a frying pan.

"You... why do you look so familiar?"

You Ruo was so frightened that she shrank behind Luo Xue.

"You've mistaken me for someone else! It's not me, I didn't do it, don't talk nonsense!"

"Nonsense?! I'd recognize him even if he were ashes! Was it you who tied our husband up with chains?!"

Ye Yunshang raised the frying pan to smash it.

"Yunshang! Put the pot down!"

Lin Mo quickly freed one hand to stop him.

"That's You Ruo, and next to her is Luo Xue. They're all on our side."

"One of our own?"

Qin Ruxue's gaze swept over Luo Xue and You Ruo.

"My husband went to heaven and brought back two more?"

Lin Mo coughed.

"This is a life-or-death friendship. You Ruo even gave her life to save me. Luo Xue... Luo Xue's situation is more complicated."

Luo Xue raised her chin, revealing a slight hint of the pressure emanating from her late-stage True Immortal realm.

"I am Luo Xue, do you have any objections?"

Qin Ruxue stepped forward, and the Empress of the Great Qian Dynasty unleashed her full aura, stubbornly resisting the oppressive force without backing down.

"No matter what seat you hold in the heavens, once you enter the Lin family, you must abide by the Lin family's rules."

Luo Xue raised an eyebrow and gripped the hilt of the Great Wilderness Annihilation Sword.

"I've lived for thousands of years, and you want me to be relegated to the back of the line?"

"So what if it's been thousands of years? It's still relatively new!"

Ye Yunshang chimed in, holding a frying pan.

"Hey! What are you doing?!"

Lin Mo quickly shoved Lin An back into Su Qingyue's arms and forced himself between the two groups of people.

"What are you fighting for! I just got back, haven't even had a bite to eat, and you're already trying to tear the house apart?"

Qin Ruxue suppressed her aura and glared at Lin Mo.

"Guards! Issue an imperial decree! A grand banquet will be held tonight to welcome the Emperor and celebrate his departure!"

Luo Xue loosened her grip on the sword hilt and turned her head away.

Night falls.

Taihe Hall Square, Daqian Imperial Palace.

The banquet had over a hundred tables, with palace maids and eunuchs moving about bustling about.

The main table was ridiculously large, almost like a small conference table.

Lin Mo sat in the main seat with an air of authority.

Left: Su Qingyue, Qin Ruxue, Liu Yiyi, Gu Ling'er, Gu Meng'er, Shen Qinghe, Jiang Zhiwei.

Right side: Chu Mengyao, Feng Niang, Bai Zhi, Xu Wenya, Ye Yunshang, Xia Man'er, Xia Ruoling, Mu Wanrong, Xia Qinghan, Lin Yun'er, Xia Youyue.

In addition to Ye Meier, Yu Ji, Luo Xue, and You Ruo.

All told, there were more than twenty stunning beauties, packed together, each with their own unique charm, some plump and some slender.

Lin Mo felt a chill run down his spine at the sight of this spectacle, but inside he was ecstatic.

Liu Yiyi held a golden abacus and started clicking away.

"The ingredients for tonight's banquet cost 30,000 taels. The repair costs for the damaged bluestone slabs in the drill ground are 50,000 taels. Husband, this money will be deducted from your private treasury."

"What secret stash of money do I have?" Lin Mo glared. "Isn't all my money with you?"

"So you're in debt now, remember to pay it off with your body."

Liu Yiyi winked at her.

Gu Ling'er raised her chopsticks and tapped the bowl.

"My lord! I built a cannon! Eight cores linked together! It almost caused the sky to fall!"

"Sister, please stop talking..."

Gu Meng'er stuffed a piece of osmanthus cake into Gu Ling'er's mouth.

"You almost blew the entire Ministry of Works up into the sky..."

Xia Man'er grabbed a roast chicken and tore off two legs with her bare hands.

"Husband, eat! It'll help you recover!"

Xia Ruoling snatched the other half of the roast chicken, "Husband, eat this! This one doesn't have feathers!"

Xia Qinghan picked up a piece of fish, carefully removed the bones, and placed it in Lin Mo's bowl.

"Eat."

Lin Yun'er stood beside her, holding a teacup, her voice soft and sweet, "Husband, please have some tea."

Mu Wanrong looked at Lin Mo with a longing in her eyes, "Your Majesty has become even more handsome..."

Lin Mo picked up his wine glass and stood up.

The entire room fell silent instantly.

"Thank you all for your hard work during this time." Lin Mo looked around.

Looking at Qin Ruxue's reddened eyes, looking at Lin An in Su Qingyue's arms, looking at Bai Zhi's face, looking at Ye Meier's face that had regained its vitality...

"I, Lin Mo, have no other skills, but I'm tough. No one can take me away."

"This glass of wine is a toast to you, to the Great Qian Dynasty, and to this peaceful and prosperous era!"

He raised his head and drank it all in one gulp.

"To my husband!" All the women raised their glasses in unison.

Luo Xue held her wine glass and looked at Lin Mo.

This man was ruthless and decisive in the heavens, crushing immortals as easily as crushing ants.

Now, however, he's here laughing and joking with a group of ordinary women.

Violate.

Yet... it gives people a great sense of security.

You Ruo leaned over and touched Luo Xue's cup.

"Master, this braised pork is delicious."

Luo Xue rolled her eyes, picked up a piece and put it in her mouth, then paused in surprise.

It's really delicious.

After several rounds of drinks and five courses of food,

The atmosphere grew increasingly lively.

Jiang Zhiwei took out a small bottle, poured out a red pill, and handed it to Shen Qinghe.

"eat."

Shen Qinghe blushed slightly. "Let's not eat this today?"

"To liven things up."

Jiang Zhiwei remained expressionless.

Feng Niang, holding a wine cup, walked to Lin Mo's side, leaned against Lin Mo's shoulder.

"My lord, I've practically worn out the files from the Zhenwu Division while you've been gone. Look at these dark circles under my eyes, how are you going to make it up to me tonight?"

Bai Zhi tugged at Feng Niang's sleeve, "Feng Niang, you've had too much to drink."

Chu Mengyao sneered, "She wasn't drunk. She was just pretending to be intoxicated."

Yu Ji poured wine for Lin Mo on the other side.

"Your Majesty, I've figured out a few new variations of the Heartless Sect's dual cultivation techniques. Tonight..."

Ye Meier pushed Yu Ji aside.

"Master is mine tonight! I'm someone who's died once!"

"You're just asking for trouble!" Yu Ji retorted.

"Alright, alright." Lin Mo patted the table.

The entire room fell silent once again.

Lin Mo cleared his throat and glanced at the more than twenty stunning beauties present.

Fairy, witch, empress, queen, empress dowager, princess, loli, mature woman.

This is the ultimate dream of any time traveler!

"Today is a big day."

Lin Mo spoke.

The women pricked up their ears.

"I returned safely, Lin An was born, the Great Qian Dynasty is peaceful and prosperous, and the crisis in the Upper Realm has been resolved."

"So, I've decided to organize a big event."

Qin Ruxue frowned. "What activity? A sacrificial ceremony to heaven?"

Su Qingyue asked, "A general amnesty?"

Lin Mo shook his head, a smug smile curving his lips.

"tonight."

"Let's sleep together under the same blanket!"

Dead silence.

Even the wind had stopped blowing in the Taihe Hall Square.

A few seconds later.

Clang.

Xu Wenya dropped her chopsticks on the ground, fell straight backward, and fainted from embarrassment.

"Eighth Sister!"

Ye Yunshang quickly reached out to support her.

Qin Ruxue suddenly stood up.

"Are you crazy! More than twenty people! Are you made of iron?!"

Xia Man'er's eyes lit up, and she slapped her thigh suddenly.

"Yay! Let's have a group fight!"

Xia Ruoling covered her face and peeked through her fingers.

"Oh dear... I can't accept this... Should I take a shower and change into something nice?"

Gu Ling'er excitedly slapped the table.

"Sleeping together under the same blanket! Are we going to pile on top of each other?! I'll sleep on the bottom! Waaaaaah—"

Gu Meng'er desperately covered Gu Ling'er's mouth, "Sister, please stop talking, it's so embarrassing."

Seeing the various reactions of the women, Lin Mo put his hands on his hips and laughed loudly.

"Someone! Go and assemble the dragon bed in the Hall of Supreme Harmony! Make it twenty meters long!"

"Tonight, let's fight until dawn!"

"Whoever runs away is a little dog!"

Above the Hall of Supreme Harmony, Lin Mo's arrogant laughter and the playful coquettishness of the women echoed.

"Ah! No! My husband is so mean!"

"Yay! I want to sleep on my husband's left! Nobody's allowed to take it from me!"

"Sister, please stop talking, it's so embarrassing..."

"You naughty fellow, you've only just gotten back and you're already behaving inappropriately!"

The long-awaited warmth and joy completely filled this night in the Daqian Imperial Palace.
