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

Seeing Lin Mo's smug look, Su Qingyue felt both ashamed and angry.

She picked up the bowl of porridge beside her, glared at him fiercely, and muttered to herself:

"Hmph! You'll be exhausted by then!"

Lin Mo, of course, had no idea what Su Qingyue was thinking.

Seeing that she was finally willing to drink the porridge in small sips, he stopped arguing with her.

He picked up his bowl, slurped down two mouthfuls, and then asked:

"Wife, do we have enough food left to last a few more days?"

Upon hearing this, Su Qingyue's face, which had just been flushed, instantly darkened.

"If I eat sparingly, I can probably... last for three more days."

Three days.

Lin Mo's heart sank.

This is even with the nine women eating very little; under normal circumstances, it would probably take more than two days.

Seeing Lin Mo remain silent, Su Qingyue assumed he was also troubled and quickly comforted him.

"Husband, don't worry."

"I've already made up my mind. I'll take my sisters to the city to look for work later."

"Sew and mend clothes for wealthy families, and you can always get some food in return."

Su Qingyue forced a smile, but no matter how you looked at it, the smile seemed forced and bitter.

Why make a group of beautiful women show their faces in public and do those rough and tiring jobs?

What a joke!

Lin Mo put down the bowl, reached out and gently touched Su Qingyue's smooth, long hair.

"No need, that would only earn us a few copper coins, not even enough to fill our teeth."

Su Qingyue's shoulders slumped instantly, her eyes filled with helplessness and despair.

"What can we women do now besides this...?"

Seeing her pitiful look, Lin Mo's heart softened.

He leaned over and gave Su Qingyue a quick kiss on her smooth, delicate face.

"Don't worry, I'll figure something out."

Su Qingyue was taken aback by his sudden intimate gesture, and two red clouds instantly rose to her cheeks.

Before she could react, Lin Mo flipped his wrist and grabbed at nothing.

hum-

With a soft clang, an ancient longsword appeared in his hand.

It was that Lianhua Sword.

"!!!"

Su Qingyue's beautiful eyes widened instantly, and her small mouth opened slightly.

She glanced at Lin Mo, then at the longsword that exuded a chilling aura.

"Where...where did this sword come from? How...how did you conjure it?"

Su Qingyue was utterly shocked.

My body was opened to a new world last night, and this morning my husband started performing the magic sword trick again?

What's wrong with this world?

Lin Mo couldn't help but laugh at her adorable, bewildered expression.

How can this be explained?

They say I have a system, is this a gift package I received?

I guess she'll think I overdid it last night and messed up my brain.

After thinking for a long time, Lin Mo still couldn't come up with a good reason.

He leaned close to Su Qingyue's ear and whispered a few words.

But as Lin Mo's words reached Su Qingyue's ears one by one,

Her gaze as she looked at Lin Mo was suddenly filled with shock, shyness, and a hint of...unbelievable absurdity.

After Lin Mo finished speaking, he kissed Su Qingyue's blushing face again before placing the sword in her hand and giving her instructions:

"Give this sword to your second sister-in-law in a little while. She knows martial arts, and with this sword for self-defense, I'll feel at ease with you all at home."

"As for me, I'll go to Black Wind Mountain outside the city later to see if I can hunt some wild game and bring back some food."

After saying that, Lin Mo strode out of the house under her blank stare.

Su Qingyue sat alone on a wooden stump, holding a cold sword in her arms, her mind a complete mess.

No sooner had Lin Mo left than his second sister-in-law, Qin Ruxue, came out of the house.

She was tall and slender, unlike Su Qingyue who was gentle and graceful; instead, she possessed a heroic spirit unique to martial artists.

Her long, jet-black hair was neatly tied into a high ponytail, revealing her smooth, full forehead.

She wore a short, fitted outfit that allowed for easy movement, highlighting her taut and explosive body curves.

Those legs were straight and long, absolutely stunning.

Qin Ruxue walked into the courtyard and saw Su Qingyue sitting there in a daze, her face unusually red.

"Big sister, where's uncle?"

"what?"

Su Qingyue seemed to awaken from a dream.

She looked up and saw Qin Ruxue, and quickly stood up.

"He...he went to Black Wind Mountain outside the city."

Black Wind Mountain?

Qin Ruxue's expression changed.

Black Wind Mountain is densely forested and high up, and wild beasts often roam there.

Deep in the mountains, there are several bandit strongholds. How could he dare to go there alone?

"No, it's too dangerous, I have to go find him."

Qin Ruxue was about to rush out when she said that.

"Second Sister, wait a minute!"

Su Qingyue quickly got up and grabbed her.

"Before Lin Mo left, he instructed that you were the only one in the family who knew martial arts, and that you must stay at home to protect everyone's safety."

Qin Ruxue paused, her brows furrowing.

Given what happened with Wang Erba before, there really should be someone at home to keep watch.

You can stay home and watch over things yourself.

What should Lin Mo do?

Do you really think that just because you punched Wang Erba, you can do whatever you want?

The wild animals in those mountains are nothing like humans.

People get scared when they're hit and they'll run away.

But if a wild beast is provoked, it will fight to the death and risk its life for you!

Qin Ruxue was both anxious and angry, but she really didn't know what to do.

Why has my brother-in-law been acting so strangely lately?

How come someone who used to be timid and hesitant has suddenly become so bold?

I really don't know whether to praise him or scold him!

Seeing Qin Ruxue pacing back and forth, Su Qingyue suddenly remembered something and quickly took out the Lianhua sword from behind her.

"Lin Mo asked me to give this to you, saying it's a temporary loan."

Qin Ruxue was initially very anxious, but when the sword appeared, her gaze was instantly captivated.

As a martial artist, her love for weapons is ingrained in her bones.

The sword feels slightly heavy in the hand, with just the right weight.

The scabbard was simple and unadorned, but when she drew the longsword with a "clang," a gleaming sword light, like autumn water, instantly illuminated her eyes.

The sword was straight and exuded a chilling aura.

Strange patterns flowed across it like water ripples, and the sharp edge gleamed with an eerie light, as if a single glance could cut the skin.

"What a fine sword!"

Qin Ruxue couldn't help but blurt it out, her eyes filled with infatuation.

She flicked her wrist slightly, performing a sword flourish.

The sword blade cut through the air, emitting a soft, clear, and melodious "hum."

This is absolutely a superb sword that can cut through iron like mud!

Qin Ruxue held the sword, examining it from all angles, her eyes overflowing with both delight and astonishment.

But suddenly, she realized a problem.

So he turned to look at Su Qingyue.

"Big sister, where did Uncle get this sword?"

"He ate and lived with us, how could he suddenly produce a sword after just one night?"

"Big sister, don't you find this strange?"

"I……"

Su Qingyue felt guilty and breathless when questioned, and her eyes began to dart around.

"I... also find it strange, but, but he said..."

Su Qingyue stammered as she recalled what Lin Mo had just whispered in her ear.

Seeing her like this, Qin Ruxue became even more anxious.

"What did he say?"

Su Qingyue: "He said..."

Qin Ruxue: "What exactly did he say?"

Su Qingyue: "He said..."

"Oh dear, you're driving me crazy!"

Qin Ruxue grabbed Su Qingyue's shoulders and shook her repeatedly.

"What exactly did he say? Where did this sword come from?"

Su Qingyue was so dizzy from Qin Ruxue's shaking that her pretty face turned bright red.

Finally, after holding her breath to the limit, Su Qingyue gave up and did whatever she wanted.

"He said...it was because last night after we...after we did that, in the union of yin and yang, he suddenly grasped the great principles of life, and then...this sword was born!"

"What the hell?!"

Qin Ruxue froze on the spot, her hand holding the sword hanging in mid-air.

She stood there stunned for a full three seconds before she could process the information in those words, and then looked at Su Qingyue with an expression as if she were looking at an idiot.

"Big sister! You actually believe this nonsense?!"

"I...I don't know..."

Su Qingyue was so ashamed she wanted to die. She buried her head low and spoke in a voice as soft as a mosquito's hum.

Qin Ruxue looked at the older sister in front of her, who had a shy expression and whose IQ had clearly dropped.

Looking again at the gleaming, priceless sword in his hand, he fell into deep thought.

What kind of spell did that guy cast on my older sister?

In just one night, he not only subdued his older sister, but also produced a magical weapon.

Qin Ruxue's mind was completely in chaos.

She felt that this family and her brother-in-law had suddenly become mysterious and unpredictable overnight.
