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

As night deepened, the Pangu Temple became exceptionally quiet.

Only the jade-colored glass lamps hanging in the corridor emitted a soft glow.

Han Zhixian sat on the bed, clutching the Wind-Stabilizing Pearl tightly in her hand, unable to fall asleep.

This day's experience was so surreal.

In the morning, he was being chased, and by nightfall he was living in the most luxurious palace in the primordial world, eating peaches that had been preserved for nine thousand years, and being personally instructed by the legendary Lord Lin Xuan...

She touched her burning cheeks, her mind filled with the image of Lin Xuan holding her hand just now.

"Squeak—"

Just then, the window was suddenly pushed open a crack.

A furry little hand reached in, fumbled around on the windowsill for a while, and then a golden head poked its head in.

"Who?!" Han Zhixian was startled and instinctively raised the Wind-Fixing Pearl.

"Shh! Don't shout! It's me!"

A childish voice rang out.

A little monkey wearing a golden bib and covered in golden fur nimbly flipped through the window and jumped onto the table.

The little monkey was carrying a black stick; it was none other than Lin Xuan's son, Lin Dasheng.

"You...you are the Great Sage?" Han Zhixian recognized the child she had seen in the hall during the day.

"Hehe, beautiful sister, still awake?" Lin Dasheng grinned, revealing a set of small white teeth, his golden eyes gleaming in the darkness.

Han Zhixian breathed a sigh of relief: "It's so late, why aren't you asleep? What are you doing here?"

"Couldn't sleep, so I came out for a stroll." Lin Dasheng slammed his golden cudgel on the table, making a crisp "clang." "Sister, I think that bag you were carrying during the day looks pretty fun. Can I borrow it to play with?"

Han Zhixian paused for a moment, then pointed to the wind bag placed on the bedside table.

That was a magical artifact she had crafted using ten thousand years of fierce winds. As long as the bag was opened, it could release black winds that could harm people's souls.

"You want to play this?"

"Yeah, yeah!" Lin Dasheng's eyes lit up. He jumped onto the bed and reached out to grab it. "How about I trade you my stick?"

As he spoke, he handed the Ruyi Jingu Bang, which weighed 13,500 jin, to Han Zhixian.

Han Zhixian was both amused and exasperated.

This child traded a primordial spiritual treasure for her acquired magical artifact? What kind of wasteful behavior is this?

"No, this wind bag is dangerous. It's filled with black wind. What if it hurts you?" Han Zhixian quickly put the bag away.

"Tch, you think I'm afraid of the wind?" Lin Dasheng scoffed. "I dared to hit that old bald monk Zhunti's hand, why would I be afraid of a little wind?"

As he spoke, the little monkey pounced on him, trying to snatch it.

"Hey! Don't move!" Han Zhixian was afraid of hurting him, so she dared not use her magic and could only block with her hands.

As it turned out, the monkey was incredibly strong. Even though it was just playing around, it still managed to get Han Zhixian all flustered, and the two of them ended up rolling around in a heap.

"Cough cough."

Just then, a soft cough came from the doorway.

Lin Dasheng froze instantly.

Like a child who had done something wrong, he jumped off the bed in a flash, hid the golden cudgel behind his back, and stood obediently.

Lin Xuan pushed open the door and walked in, wearing a single garment, his hair casually loose, and holding a cup of hot tea in his hand.

"Why aren't you sleeping in the middle of the night? Why are you here bullying the guests?" Lin Xuan looked at Lin Dasheng, his tone carrying a hint of reproach, but more of doting affection.

"Dad... I didn't bully her." Lin Dasheng lowered his head, drawing circles on the ground with his toes. "I just wanted to see that bag."

"That's your Aunt Hanzhixian's treasure, how can you just snatch it?" Lin Xuan walked over and flicked the monkey's forehead. "Go back to sleep, or I won't give you five pine cones to eat tomorrow."

"Oh..." Lin Dasheng replied with a pitiful expression, then made a face at Han Zhixian, climbed out the window and ran away.

Only Lin Xuan and Han Zhixian remained in the room.

The atmosphere suddenly became somewhat ambiguous.

Han Zhixian had been playing around with the monkey, and her clothes were a little disheveled, with her neckline slightly open, revealing a patch of snow-white skin.

She quickly straightened her clothes, lowered her head, and dared not look at Lin Xuan: "My lord, the Great Sage... he's quite adorable."

"Cute my foot, he's just a naughty monkey." Lin Xuan handed over the tea in his hand, "Here, calming tea, drink it and go to sleep early."

Han Zhixian took the teacup, her fingertips accidentally touching Lin Xuan's fingers.

In that instant, it felt like an electric current was passing through me.

"My lord...you're still awake?" Han Zhixian asked softly.

"I was asleep, but I sensed the commotion here and was worried that the monkey might hurt you, so I came to check on you." Lin Xuan sat down on the chair by the bed and looked at her gently.

Han Zhixian felt a warm glow in her heart.

It turns out he had been keeping an eye on this place all along.

"That... wind bag, it's really nothing." Han Zhixian bit her lip. "If the Great Sage likes it, I can give it to him."

"No need." Lin Xuan waved his hand. "That kid's just a flash in the pan. Besides, it's your stuff. You're a member of the Jie Sect and a guest of our Pangu Palace. No one can take your things, not even my son."

This statement was made with absolute certainty.

Han Zhixian raised her head and looked into Lin Xuan's deep eyes.

There was no condescending charity there, only a steadfastness that made you want to rely on it.

"My lord..." Han Zhixian's voice choked with emotion, "Why are you so kind to me? I'm just an outer disciple, with mediocre talent..."

"Talent?" Lin Xuan laughed. "In my eyes, there's no such thing as good or bad talent. As long as I like it, it's the best."

He stood up, walked to Han Zhixian, and reached out to tidy up the stray hairs by her ears.

"And you are special."

"Special?" Han Zhixian's heart skipped a beat.

"Hmm, especially... soft." Lin Xuan's lips curled into a wicked smile.

Han Zhixian's face instantly turned bright red. Of course, she knew what Lin Xuan meant by "soft," especially when he was teaching her how to use the magic weapon earlier...

"Alright, I'll stop teasing you." Lin Xuan's smile faded, and he said seriously, "I noticed earlier that your mind was still a bit unstable, probably a lingering effect from the shock you experienced during the day. I'll stay tonight to help you thoroughly sort things out, so that it doesn't leave any lasting effects."

"Huh?" Han Zhixian was stunned. "Stay...stay?"

"What? Afraid I'll eat you up?" Lin Xuan raised an eyebrow. "Don't worry, I'm a respectable person."

Looking at Lin Xuan, Han Zhixian's inner dam of "reason" finally collapsed completely.

A decent person?

What respectable person would leave a woman's room to sleep in the middle of the night?

But... she didn't want to refuse.

"Then... I'll have to trouble you, sir." Han Zhixian's voice was barely audible.

Lin Xuan blew out the lamp on the table.

In the darkness, only rustling sounds and Han Zhixian's suppressed gasps of surprise could be heard.

"My lord, wasn't it said that you were going to sort out the soul?"

"Yes, this is a deep process; it requires a holistic approach, both mentally and physically..."

That night, the wind in the Pangu Temple seemed exceptionally gentle.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have successfully won over Han Zhixian.]

[Rewards being processed...]

[Congratulations, host, you have obtained: Innate Wind Spirit Origin (allows you to control innate divine wind, ignoring all wind-based spells).]

Lin Xuan held Han Zhixian, who was sleeping soundly like a kitten, in his arms, feeling very happy.

This was a good deal; I gained another wife and also got wind immunity.

From now on, those so-called Samadhi Wind and Banana Leaf Fan will just be like air conditioning to him.
