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

That night, red candles flickered inside the Pangu Hall.

Although he was still getting married, Lin Xuan never showed favoritism. All the necessary ceremonies were performed, and because Shi Ji was a "victim," Lin Xuan even had Xing Tian pick a lot of glowing spiritual herbs to decorate the bridal chamber in a very dreamlike way.

Shi Ji sat on the edge of the bed, her palms sweating with nervousness.

In her entire life, she has only meditated and chanted scriptures; she has hardly ever even held a man's hand, let alone done anything like that.

The door was pushed open, and Lin Xuan walked in, reeking of alcohol.

He was in a good mood today and drank a few more cups than usual. The image of Taiyi Zhenren with his bald head still makes him laugh when he thinks about it.

"What's wrong? Still nervous?" Lin Xuan sat down next to Shi Ji and took her hand.

After being "enchanted," the stone feels warm and smooth like jade, no longer the cold, hard stone it used to be.

"No...no." Shi Ji lowered her head, her voice barely audible.

"You still say no? Your hands are shaking." Lin Xuan chuckled and leaned close to her ear. "Don't worry, I'll be very gentle. Just like when I enlightened you, although the process might be a little...exciting, the result will definitely be good."

Upon hearing the words "enlightenment," Shi Ji recalled the transformative feeling she had experienced that day, her face flushed even more, and her body went limp.

"Husband...husband." She finally mustered up the courage to call out this title.

That one word, "husband," made Lin Xuan's bones melt.

"Oh, so good."

Lin Xuan stopped talking nonsense, waved his hand to extinguish the red candles, and lowered the curtains.

(A thousand words of indescribable content are omitted here, but basically it's about how stone turns into silk, and a beautiful encounter like a gentle breeze and jade dew.)

……

[Ding! Congratulations, host, on achieving perfect harmony with Lady Shiji.]

[Detection indicates that Lady Shiji's physique has evolved into a fragment of the Chaos Sky-Mending Stone, with perfect compatibility.]

[The "Guaranteed Pregnancy Card" has been activated! Conception successful!]

[Congratulations, host, you have received a reward: Earth Membrane (Fragment) x1.]

[Note: The Earth Membrane is the protective layer of the primordial land, possessing unparalleled defensive capabilities and the ability to manipulate earth veins. The host can integrate it into the Underworld, elevating its defenses to the Saint level, making it impenetrable except by a full-force attack from the Heavenly Dao.]

The next morning.

Lin Xuan woke up feeling refreshed and looked at Shi Ji, who was still fast asleep, and kissed her on the forehead.

Then he eagerly checked the reward.

Earth's membrane!

This is a real treasure. Legend has it that Zhen Yuanzi, the ancestor of the Earth Immortals, possessed a "Book of Earth," which was formed from the membrane of the earth. Its defensive power was said to be the strongest in the primordial world, and as long as one stood on the earth, one would be invincible.

Although what Lin Xuan had in his hand was a fragment, its effect would be absolutely explosive if it were integrated into the independent little world of the Underworld.

Although the Underworld is currently under the protection of Lady Pingxin, its foundation is not yet stable. If the two Western Saints or the Primordial Heavenly Lord were to go mad and attack, it would be quite troublesome.

But with this earthen membrane, the underworld truly became an impenetrable fortress.

With a thought, Lin Xuan directly communicated with his clone in the underworld.

The Netherworld, the Hall of Peace.

The "Wen Dao Lin Xuan" clone, who was handling official business, suddenly stopped writing, and a thin film emitting an earthy yellow halo appeared in his hand.

"melt!"

The clone threw the membrane into the air.

Rumble!

The entire underworld trembled violently.

The thin film rapidly expanded, transforming into an invisible canopy that enveloped the entire underworld, including the eighteen levels of hell, the six realms of reincarnation, the road to the underworld, and the Bridge of Helplessness…

The previously somewhat vague laws of the underworld instantly became incredibly solid.

The Western Sect disciple, who was being punished to wash dishes by the Bridge of Helplessness, suddenly felt that the bowl in his hand had become ten times heavier, and the pressure around him had also increased tenfold.

"What's going on? Why does the underworld seem even more terrifying?"

Deep within the underworld, Lady Pingxin (Houtu) opened her eyes, her gaze filled with surprise.

"This is... the scent of the earth's membrane? Has Thirteenth Brother sent something good to the underworld again?"

She could clearly sense that the underworld's defenses had improved significantly. Now, even a saint would have to think twice before trying to break through this tortoise shell if he wanted to cause trouble in the underworld.

"Thirteenth brother, you always manage to surprise me." Houtu smiled gently.

Inside the Pangu Hall.

Lin Xuan regained his composure and a smile appeared on his lips.

At this moment, Shi Ji woke up and rubbed her eyes groggily.

"Husband, what are you laughing at? Your laughter is...so naughty."

Lin Xuan turned around and pulled her into his arms.

"Nothing much, just thinking about where to take you to rob... oh no, where to get supplies next time."

Shi Ji: "..."

Although it sounds a little scary, why do I feel a little excited?

Is this what they mean by "marry a chicken, follow the chicken; marry a dog, follow the dog"—marrying a bandit and becoming his wife?

Really fragrant.
