Witch, please have some self-respect!

The night grew deeper.

Shen Yun stood for a while, then her straight back hunched over again; she was too tired.

Back in the room, he held Su Wan'er in his arms, closed his eyes, and fell into a deep sleep.

The elderly man gets tired easily with even slight activity, but the soft jade in his arms helps him alleviate his fatigue.

In his dream, he was immortal and rejuvenated, walking with a beauty across the frozen North Sea, his sleeves billowing over the vast ocean waves.

The beauty's black hair swept across the back of her hand, transforming into a celestial river descending from the heavens, revealing the path to immortality.

Just as Shen Yun was overjoyed and was climbing with the beauty,

Suddenly, a sound of the sky splitting came, and scales that blotted out the sun rose from the depths of the void. The giant beast's eyes were like two blood moons, crushing down, and it opened its mouth wide enough to swallow half the sky.

"A bizarre and fantastical dream, a truly overwhelming spectacle!"

When Shen Yun realized this, his inner clothes were soaked with cold sweat, his stomach was rumbling, but he felt refreshed.

Deep sleep brings physical and mental well-being, and increases one's blessings.

"Dreams and reality are opposites, it seems I'm about to have great luck."

Looking out the window, the sky was just beginning to brighten.

The sounds of the guards doing their morning exercises could be faintly heard, and he could become stronger just by lying down.

The beautiful woman beside him was still fast asleep, a few strands of her dark hair falling across her fair, jade-like cheeks.

This scene is beautiful.

Shen Yun didn't stop admiring it, and couldn't wait to open the ancient scroll and take a look.

It wasn't all for naught.

The ancient scroll has a new notification: yesterday's companion bonus has been calculated.

[Today, I received a total of 10 Blessing Points, with a satisfaction rate of 96%, a bonus of 9.6, and an additional 10 Blessing Points.]

Su Wan'er's satisfaction level in Shen Yun's heart was close to the maximum, and he received an additional ten blessing points.

Shen Yun was overjoyed.

A partner is important; they can double your daily rewards.

I received 28 points of good fortune, 18 of which came from my Daoist partner.

[Retirement Blessing Scroll: Tier 0 (9/1000)] (Cumulative Consumption)

If you want to upgrade the ancient scroll, it should take a little over a month.

soon.

"Unfortunately, there's only one partner spot available now."

Shen Yun was no naive young man; having lived two lives, he quickly returned to reality after a moment's distraction.

I got up and washed up.

The accountant can't leave; he has to be on duty today.

Now is not a good time to use Blessing Points. Tomorrow, I'll buy some pills, save some for Rolling Stone Fist, and then go all in on the Breathing Technique!

Upon hearing Shen Yun's voice, Su Wan'er also woke up.

"My lord, get up. Wan'er will help you wash up."

Seeing Shen Yun getting dressed, Su Wan'er quickly got up to serve him.

A patch of white snow reveals a beautiful scene.

Shen Yun interrupted, "Wan'er, we are husband and wife, there's no need for this. Marrying me, an old man, is already enough of a hardship for you."

Su Wan'er was sincere to him, and he naturally reciprocated with sincerity.

He quickly dressed and washed up, then went briskly to the servants' canteen to get his meal.

"I'm not wronged."

Su Wan'er murmured softly as she watched Shen Yun's retreating figure.

As she dressed, she thought, "Although my husband is getting old, he is very good to me."

He still exercises in the evenings, and his health is quite good.

Proper health maintenance can definitely lead to a long and healthy life.

The two have been together for forty years, and perhaps they can even have a son or daughter.

Should we ask Pharmacist Sun at your residence to get some medicine for my husband to take care of?

Shen Yun was unaware of Wan'er's thoughts, but the ancient scroll had undergone changes.

[Su Wan'er's Intimacy Level: 85]

Seeing the intimacy level rise again, Shen Yun felt even more affection for her.

Marrying this old man, how come our intimacy level has increased so quickly?

Su Wan'er's personality cannot be adequately described by the terms "virtuous wife and loving mother".

I've struck gold!

Moreover, his luck began to change after he got married.

She brings good fortune to her husband.

Stepping out into the morning light, Shen Yun's back was much straighter today.

The nourishment from last night's health-preserving boxing and breathing exercises has not yet dissipated, and I feel more energetic than before when walking.

"Steward Shen looks really energetic today. Could it be that he's too old to have a child?"

"If the most beautiful woman in the manor married him, I'd be just as excited!"

"When people are happy, they are in high spirits; Steward Shen is like a second spring in his life."

As they passed the training ground, the guards and the head steward, Chang Buduan, glanced at the spirited Shen Yun and teased him.

The guards are all respectable men who have served the Feng family for generations, and many of them have achieved great physical fitness and are cultivators.

Therefore, the guards held the highest status among the servants, and only Shen Yun, the head accountant, could occasionally keep them in check.

Shen Yun was in a good mood and responded with a smile.

These people did give him a heads-up.

Turning the corner, Shen Yun continued to hunch over, resuming his aged appearance.

Thinking to myself, "Will I have to use the cane that was custom-made for our home?"

There are two great paths: one is recklessness, and the other is expediency.

He's so old now, he's not a young man in his prime anymore.

Being cautious and keeping a low profile is the key to longevity.

The Way of Truth endures.

Passing by a garden inside the mansion, I saw two young men and women in tight-fitting clothes, seemingly having just finished sparring, resting in a pavilion.

Shen Yun had seen the open space in the center of the garden before; it was even more solid than the cement ground in his previous life.

"Third Young Master."

"Fifth Miss".

Shen Yun quickly and respectfully greeted him.

The two are among the few young ladies and gentlemen of the main branch of the Feng family, and they are at the fourth or fifth level of the Body Nourishing stage.

Shen Yun is not someone to be trifled with.

The third young master wasn't particularly gifted, but he was the best among the short ones, highly valued by the head of the family, and held a very high position within the household.

As for the Fifth Miss, she was tall and had long legs, and was sought after by many young masters in the city.

The two glanced at Shen Yun and nodded indifferently.

"Approaching them is like facing flames; those at the fifth level of Body Nourishing Realm, whose blood and qi are like furnaces, are no ordinary people!"

Shen Yun turned and left, feeling the emotions even more acutely today.

Seeing Shen Yun disappear through the moon gate, Fifth Miss Feng Ling thought of something amusing and covered her mouth with a laugh.

"Old Shen married that maid named Wan'er the other day. She's only eighteen years old. He's quite lucky."

However, the thought of that little maid made her uncomfortable.

I overheard the servants talking behind her back, saying that she was not as good-looking or as well-built as that maid.

More than once.

Every time, she would slap the servants hard across the face.

Now that we see Wan'er's fate, a maid is just a maid!

Beauty, when combined with other cards, is a winning combination.

Sold alone, it's worthless.

"That useless old man, I'm afraid he can't handle this good fortune!"

That little girl, even the Third Young Master Feng Lie had his eye on her, ended up becoming the old man's wife.

It's disgusting to even think about.

"That old man, he wouldn't give me an extra three hundred taels last month, and insisted that I go to my mother."

Watching Shen Yun's departing figure, his knuckles cracked as he clenched his fists.

The mother Feng Lie mentioned was not his biological mother, but rather his first wife, Luo Yinghong.

Feng Lie and Feng Ling were born to the Third Madam.

Feng Ling turned to look at her brother, her eyes also filled with resentment, "The First Madam has been in charge of the household expenses for years, and the eldest sister of the Holy Sect's monthly allowance has increased accordingly, but ours hasn't changed..."

With a flick of her finger, she poked a hole in the wooden chair.

Her monthly allowance was three hundred taels less than Feng Lie's, how could she not feel resentment?

"Unfortunately, Father is more focused on external business, and the accounting is all handled by that old... Mother." Feng Lie shook his head.

Feng Ling glanced around and lowered her voice, saying, "I heard that the accounts were short another 100,000 taels last month. Is it because of her...?"

"Shh—" Feng Lie pressed down on his sister's wrist and whispered, "You can't say that. I heard that the 100,000 taels was used to buy a batch of blood offerings from the Holy Sect."

"Blood food! Is the information accurate?" Feng Ling was also somewhat excited upon hearing this.

A blood offering worth 100,000 taels is something that even the Immortal Seeking City wouldn't produce in three to five years.

Feng Lie whispered, "What Father said seems to indicate that Eldest Sister's status in the Holy Sect has been elevated. This is a feedback to the family, and we will definitely get a share in the future."

"If one has sufficient blood and nourishment, one is confident of reaching the sixth level of body nourishment."

Feng Ling was overjoyed.

If they had enough resources, the two siblings would definitely be at more than just the fourth or fifth level of the Body Nourishing Realm.

With one Awakening Pill a day, and even using sleep time for cultivation, there's a chance that my eldest sister might introduce me to the Holy Sect in the future.

......

After passing through the garden, Shen Yun arrived at the place where the servants ate.

The servants here were all very respectful to him and dared not speak loudly at all.

When Steward Niu, who was in charge of the servants' meals, saw Shen Yun enter, his eyes lit up and he ran up to him.

"Steward Shen, how could we trouble you to fetch the food yourself? Just let me know and I'll send someone to deliver it to you."

Shen Yun smiled and patted the plump Niu Du without refusing.

"Okay, remember to send two portions to someone. I'll eat at home every morning and evening from now on."

As the chief accountant, he not only had to keep accounts, but also had the authority to oversee the expenditures of various departments of the government.

"Alright, it was my oversight. Don't worry." Niu Du immediately understood and patted his chest to assure him.

In the past, Shen Yun's meals were always sent to the accounting office, but now that he's married, things are different.

A moment later, Shen Yun left the kitchen carrying an exquisite lunchbox, leaving behind envious glances.

Some of the younger servants saw Shen Yun as their role model and felt that the Feng family was really good.

He firmly believed that by working hard for his master's family, he could achieve the same glory as Steward Shen when he got old.

Back in the courtyard, Shen Yun had breakfast with Wan'er.

Side dishes, hot dishes, fruits, pastries, and soups.

He had a particularly good appetite today and ate a lot more this morning.

Before leaving, he took out the cane that had been ordered earlier.

Seeing Steward Shen using a cane on the road, some people couldn't help but think of his newlywed eighteen-year-old bride.

He dared not say anything openly, but secretly he kept shaking his head.

Getting married at this age is really shortening my lifespan!

Shen Yun could easily guess what these people were thinking, but he simply couldn't be bothered to pay them any attention.

This joy is enjoyed by no one else.

In the Feng family, he is only responsible to the master and the first wife.

This is also the foundation of his character.
