Many children, many blessings; the twelve ancestral witches forced marriages throughout the primordi

In the bridal chamber in the backyard of Pangu Temple.

The red candles burned brightly, making the whole room warm and cozy. On the table sat a pair of wine cups shaped like dragons and phoenixes, and a faint fragrance filled the air—the aroma of Enlightenment Tea.

Lin Xuan gently placed Wu Dang on the large bed covered with a quilt made of innate silkworm silk.

Wu Dang huddled in the corner of the bed, her hands gripping the hem of her skirt tightly, her heart pounding as if it would jump out of her throat. Although she had been moved to tears outside, now that they were alone, her old social anxiety kicked in again.

"Um...should I go and offer tea to the ladies first?" Wu Dang tried to make conversation to ease the awkwardness.

Lin Xuan was taking off his outer robe when he heard this and paused, almost bursting out laughing.

"Why offer tea? Yunxiao and the others are already asleep. If you knock on the door now, be careful that Lin Yun's sword formation will poke you out." Lin Xuan walked over, sat on the edge of the bed, and reached out to lift Wudang's chin.

Under the lamplight, Wu Dang's face, which was usually bare-faced, was now tinged with rouge, making her breathtakingly beautiful. She wasn't the type to be stunning at first glance, but the more you looked at her, the more captivating she became, exuding a gentle yet resilient charm.

"No good."

"Hmm?" Wu Dang dared not look Lin Xuan in the eye, his gaze wandering.

"Do you think you're just an ordinary person?" Lin Xuan suddenly asked.

Wu Dang paused for a moment, his eyes dimming slightly: "I am not as talented as Junior Sister Yunxiao, nor as domineering as Senior Sister Jinling, and I can't even learn Bixiao's liveliness... I'm just a errand boy."

"Nonsense."

Lin Xuan moved closer, and the tips of their noses almost touched.

"In my eyes, you are more important than them. What's the use of a home if it only has people who can fight and make a fuss? If there isn't someone who cares about you and can keep the home in order, it's not a home, it's a den of thieves."

"The Jie Sect can't function without you. If my Lin Xuan family were without you, those brats would probably tear the roof off tomorrow."

Lin Xuan's voice was soft, but every word struck Wu Dang's heart like a hammer blow.

To be needed.

This is the feeling she has longed for most all these years.

"Really?" Wu Dang raised his eyelids, his eyes glistening with tears.

"More real than real gold." Lin Xuan grabbed her hand and pressed it against his chest. "Feel it if you don't believe me, isn't it beating extra fast?"

Wu Dang felt the powerful throbbing in his palm, his face turned even redder, and he tried to pull his hand away but had no strength.

"Alright, stop thinking about all that nonsense." Lin Xuan pulled her close, blew out the candles, and said, "A moment of bliss is worth a thousand pieces of gold. We need to hurry up and make a baby."

In the darkness, a rustling sound came, followed by breathless, blush-inducing gasps.

……

This night was destined to be anything but peaceful.

Inside the system space, a golden card was flashing wildly.

[Ding! Host detected engaging in procreation.]

[Target: Our Lady of Wudang.]

[Qualification Score: 96]

[Guaranteed win card triggered!]

[Injecting the essence of the Great Dao... Injection successful!]

[Congratulations, host! Conception successful!]

[Special physique prediction for this pregnancy: Innate Primordial Dao Body (highly likely inheriting the mother's introverted nature and the father's cunning, with exceptional talent in management and coordination).]

The next day, the sun was high in the sky.

When Wu Dang woke up, she felt as if her whole body had fallen apart. She subconsciously reached out to touch the side, but found nothing.

"woke up?"

Lin Xuan happened to walk in carrying a steaming bowl of porridge.

"Here, drink this. It's spirit rice porridge cooked with water from the Eight Treasures Merit Pool; it's good for your health."

Looking at Lin Xuan's refreshed face, and then at his own disheveled state, Wu Dang couldn't help but feel a bit annoyed. Was this guy made of iron? He'd been up all night and still had so much energy.

She took the bowl, and after taking a sip, she suddenly felt a churning in her stomach.

"vomit……"

Wudang quickly covered his mouth.

Lin Xuan's eyes lit up, and he quickly came over: "What's wrong? Do you feel like throwing up?"

"No...it's just a little greasy..." Wu Dang said somewhat embarrassedly.

"What do you mean 'not pregnant'! It's pregnant!" Lin Xuan laughed loudly and brought up the system panel (although Wu Dang couldn't see it). The "Pregnant" status bar on it was dazzlingly bright.

"You've got it?" Wu Dang was stunned. "So fast?"

"Of course, don't you know who I am?" Lin Xuan said smugly, pulling her into his arms. "From today onwards, you're the most protected person in our family. Put the housework aside for now, let that fat guy Duobao do it."

Wu Dang touched his flat stomach, still a little dazed.

Is this... what it feels like to be a mother?

An unprecedented sense of happiness welled up inside her. Leaning against Lin Xuan's chest, listening to his heartbeat, she suddenly felt that Wu Dang, who only knew how to hide in the corner, was completely dead.

Now, she is Lin Xuan's wife and the mother of this child.
