Many children, many blessings: Stealing the offspring of powerful figures to cultivate immortality.

The door creaked softly.

As Jiang Yining stepped out of the door, she felt refreshed, and the long-standing tension and fatigue between her brows vanished.

The spiritual energy around her did not weaken due to excessive consumption; on the contrary, it faintly revealed a sense of harmony after a breakthrough. The bottleneck that had been stuck at the early stage of the Integration Realm was actually broken through because of this healing process filled with "sacrifice."

Mid-stage of fusion!

Behind her, the house was in complete disarray.

Situ Kong lay sprawled on the soft couch, his clothes disheveled. His originally pale face now had an eerie rosy glow, like a small white flower ravaged by a rainstorm. His eyes were glazed, and his fingers were still twitching unconsciously.

He gave a weak groan, his voice hoarse and barely audible: "Ningning, can I come again tonight...?"

Jiang Yining paused, turned back with a mocking smile, and asked, "How are you feeling tonight?"

After saying that, she left without looking back.

Just as I stepped out of the courtyard, a red blur darted down from the corridor, carrying a pungent, sour smell of vinegar.

"Oh, isn't this our Lord Jiang?"

Bai Ze brandished his flamboyant folding fan, his nine tails swaying restlessly behind him, sweeping the snow off the ground into a flurry of motion.

He squinted his long, narrow fox-like eyes, his gaze shifting back and forth between Jiang Yining's rosy face and the "useless person" in the room, finally settling on the noticeably enhanced aura emanating from Jiang Yining.

"Tsk tsk tsk, no wonder that blind man has been frantically telling fortunes these past few days, so that's what he was up to."

Bai Ze's teeth almost fell out from the sourness: "Using fortune-telling as an excuse to play the victim, only that unscrupulous merchant would do that."

Jiang Yining glanced at him, ignoring this jealous fox, and walked straight towards the main hall: "If you're so bored, go and reinforce the city wall three more layers."

"I don't!"

Bai Ze flashed and stood directly in front of Jiang Yining.

His previously lazy and carefree demeanor suddenly vanished, and his golden pupils were filled with seriousness, even carrying a hint of grievance.

"Ningning, that blind man is weak and can't take your abuse, but I'm different."

He suddenly stepped forward, bringing his devastatingly handsome face close to Jiang Yining's, his breath warm: "I am the Demon Emperor, physically strong, and... very durable."

Jiang Yining: "..."

She reached out and shoved the rutting fox away: "This is a time of war preparedness, can't you think about something important?"

"This is the important matter!"

Bai Ze said confidently, "Your physique is special. Look at that blind man, he cultivated with you this time, and both of you improved your cultivation. Now, for the sake of wartime preparedness, you should take this opportunity to further enhance your cultivation."

Jiang Yining was stunned.

She looked at Bai Ze, her gaze gradually deepening.

Although this sounds very unserious, the logic... is actually sound.

The characteristics of the Myriad Spirits Divine Tree are "devouring" and "fusion".

Previously, she had only passively received the children's support or plundered the enemy's power.

However, if these top experts of the era willingly share their energy with her, she can purify that energy, allowing both of them to benefit.

[Little Wood, what's going on?]

Myriad Spirits Divine Tree: [Ningning, this must be because you've found your own unique... cough cough dual cultivation technique.]

[The world's martial arts techniques don't come from nothing; they are all created by humans. You have unknowingly discovered the characteristics of our compatibility.]

If we strengthen dual cultivation, wouldn't that be...

That kind of improvement is absolutely explosive.

"Leave the door open for me tonight."

When Bai Ze saw that Jiang Yining refused to leave, his nine tails excitedly burst open, like a fox that had just stolen a chicken, and he disappeared in a flash.

He didn't care how she did it; anyway... he made it seem perfectly natural...

Night falls.

The wind and snow in the desolate abyss grew even stronger.

Jiang Yining sat on the bed of ten-thousand-year-old Xuanbing Jade Marrow, regulating the Heavenly Secret Power that had just merged into her body.

Suddenly, someone gently knocked twice on the window.

"Wife, open the door!"

The sound was so lingering and sweet it could be drawn out like silk.

Jiang Yining's lips twitched, and with a wave of her hand, the window opened automatically.

Then she witnessed a scene that she would never forget for the rest of her life.

Bai Ze was not wearing his usual elaborate and gorgeous clothes.

He was wearing only a very thin red gauze robe, the front of which was wide open, revealing his strong and well-defined chest and abdominal muscles.

What's even more outrageous is that the sheer dress was half-transparent, revealing glimpses of the skin, which, combined with the swirling snowflakes and the warm yellow light inside, made her practically a walking embodiment of masculinity.

"Cold~"

Bai Ze shrank back slightly, its nine fluffy tails huddled in front of it, looking rather aggrieved, like nine hand warmers.

He hopped barefoot into the house, closed the window behind him, and then scurried up to Jiang Yining as if he had no bones.

"Ningning, winter in the desolate abyss is so cold. I want to borrow a fire to warm myself up."

Jiang Yining looked at him expressionlessly: "You're a Great Ascension Stage demon, you're afraid of the cold?"

"My heart is cold."

Bai Ze pulled Jiang Yining's hand and pressed it against his burning heart, his eyes alluring: "Only you can warm it up."

The roots of the Myriad Spirits Tree trembled excitedly at this moment as they sensed the immense demonic power.

Jiang Yining took a deep breath, grabbed his wrist with her other hand, and pulled him towards her.

"Now that you're here, don't expect to leave unscathed."

The gauze curtains fell.

Nine fox tails instantly filled the entire space, completely enveloping this area.

……

The next morning.

Bai Ze, supporting his lower back, walked out of Jiang Yining's room looking exhausted but extremely smug.

Before they had taken two steps, two terrifying auras locked onto the spot from the left and right.

On the left, demonic energy surged.

Ye Wuhen carried the demonic sword, his black clothes fluttering in the wind, and his heterochromatic eyes burned with tangible anger and jealousy.

"Oh, so you've all learned to sneak food, huh?"

On the right, a righteous spirit surges forth.

Chu Jinglan waved his folding fan, smiling gently, but the fan ribs had already been cracked from his grip.

"As the sage said, 'It is not scarcity that is to be feared, but inequality.' Ningning, your favoritism will only damage our relationship."

Jiang Yining just happened to push the door open and come out at that moment.

After a night of "fighting," her aura surged once again, and she was just one step away from the late stage of the fusion realm.

She looked at the two men blocking the doorway like guardian deities, and instead of feeling guilty, she raised an eyebrow.

"Since we're already here, then... let's go."

Night Without Trace: "?!"

Chu Jinglan: "?!"

The two exchanged a glance and saw the shock in each other's eyes, as well as... an eagerness that they couldn't suppress.

Ye Wuhen licked his lips, his eyes turning extremely dangerous.

Jiang Yining sneered, and the vines of the Myriad Spirits Divine Tree instantly grew rapidly, directly engulfing the two men who hadn't even reacted yet and pulling them into the house.

"Why are you queuing? Time is of the essence. I don't have time to play house with you guys."

"Get in here, all of you!"

"To defeat those Protoss bandits, you have to hold on, even if you can't take it!"

On this day, the main gate of the desolate abyss was tightly closed.

The spiritual energy within a ten-mile radius formed a terrifying vortex, frantically pouring into the house.

Demonic energy, monstrous energy, righteous energy, and the power of heavenly secrets—four completely different forces—miraculously merged together under the harmonization of the Myriad Spirits Divine Tree.

boom--!

I don't know how much time has passed.

A deafening roar shook the heavens and earth, scattering the swirling snow.

A five-colored beam of light shot into the sky from Jiang Yining's room, shattering the clouds above.

Mid-stage of the Mahayana period!

The true pinnacle of the mortal realm!

The door opened.

Jiang Yining walked out slowly.

At this moment, she was surrounded by a five-colored divine light, her skin was like jade, her eyes were like stars, and every move she made carried an aura of pressure that made people want to worship her.

Inside the house behind her.

Situ Kong left early to take care of the children.

Ye Wuhen, Chu Jinglan, and Bai Ze, three men renowned throughout the world, were completely losing their composure at this moment...

"This woman..."

Ye Wuhen's hand trembled as he reached for the wine jug beside him, but his hand slipped and the jug rolled away with a gurgling sound.

"She is...really...better than us..."
