A veteran of the frontier army, after marrying a wife, fought his way through the northern border.

Su Yunshang's voice trembled slightly: "Please, my husband, have mercy on me."

"Don't worry, my wife, I'll be gentle."

The next moment, Su Yunshang felt Luo Yunxiao's hot body and heavy breath. Her cheeks flushed, her brows furrowed, and a tear rolled down her cheek.

Luo Yunxiao, having experienced human relations for the first time, continued into the early hours of the morning, still feeling unsatisfied.

The indescribable sounds reached the west room, making Su Yushang and Qin Hongxiu blush with embarrassment and unable to fall asleep.

The two of them stood back to back, eyes wide open, awkwardly listening to the sounds from next door, their bodies burning with heat.

In the stillness of the night, only the eerie sounds emanating from the main house could be heard.

Qin Hongxiu's heart was stirred. This old husband seemed honest and kind on the surface, but how could he be so shameless at night?

Mother was right after all. Men are all lecherous, and they get more lecherous as they get older. There isn’t a single good one among them.

In fact, given Luo Yunxiao's physical strength, he should have surrendered within a few breaths and wouldn't have lasted until the latter half of the night.

Just as he was getting intimate with Su Yunshang, the Marriage Life Extension System was activated, filling him with power and filling him with joy!

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have successfully lost your virginity, extended your lifespan by two years, and awakened your innate skill!]

The system panel properties appeared in his mind.

Host: Luo Yunxiao

Spouse: Su Yunshang

Lifespan: 51 years

Combat strength: 10+20 points (Late-stage Martial Apprentice, equivalent to the combat strength of three adults!)

Talent Skills: Night Vision (10 zhang), Treasure Hunting (10 zhang)

Technique: None

Luo Yunxiao held Su Yunshang's soft body in his arms, feeling a mix of sorrow and joy.

Sadly, I'm almost fifty before I finally lost my virginity.

The good news is that my lifespan has finally been extended.

Not only that, his physical fitness also increased rapidly, even more so than when he was a special forces soldier in his previous life.

He only stopped to let Su Yunshang rest when she cried out, "Husband, have mercy!"

The most surprised person was Su Yunshang, who never expected that her old husband would be so valiant.

He seems old and useless, but he can actually do it three times in one night!

Luo Yunxiao awakened his night vision ability.

Therefore, he could clearly see in the darkness that Su Yunshang was limp and lifeless on the bed beside him.

Sweat soaked her hair and clung to her cheeks; her chest heaved violently, and her eyes were somewhat unfocused.

I thought to myself that this night vision skill is really useful. In the future, if we encounter night battles on the battlefield, I can see the enemy, but the enemy cannot see me.

Moreover, based on the original owner's memories, he learned that martial arts could be cultivated in this world.

The original owner, as a bodyguard, only achieved the combat strength of the early stage of martial arts apprentice after a lifetime of cultivation.

Unexpectedly, a night of passion with Su Yunshang elevated him to the late stage of Martial Apprentice.

Above the Martial Apprentice realm is the Martial Warrior realm. If I sleep with Su Yushang tomorrow night, wouldn't I be able to advance to the next level with ease?

Perhaps it can even awaken stronger talent skills.

Thinking about this, he began to feel a sense of anticipation.

The next morning, Su Yunshang got up lazily to start a fire and cook.

She brought the boiled water into the room and gently called Luo Yunxiao to get up and wash.

Luo Yunxiao jumped up, feeling relaxed all over. Yesterday his eyesight was blurry, but now his eyes were sharp.

My mind is clear, and my posture is much more upright.

Hmm? That's not all.

Abundant kidney energy!

Having a wife is great!

When Su Yunshang saw Luo Yunxiao's face after washing up, her pupils dilated and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.

The man before me looked old and frail just yesterday, with a hunched back.

Now, however, she looks radiant, with fewer deep wrinkles on her face and a fairer complexion.

His eyes, in particular, seemed to gleam with a hidden glint of intelligence.

"Husband, you've grown taller, and you look younger too."

Luo Yunxiao smiled brightly. He was almost fifty years old; how could he possibly grow taller?

He appears to have grown taller because after his lifespan was extended, the Qi and blood in his Du meridian became abundant, making his spine much straighter than before.

If an elderly person who is usually hunchbacked suddenly straightens up, people might mistakenly think that they have grown taller.

"Really? Maybe it's because people are in high spirits when they're having a good time, and the warmth and life at home make them feel happy, which makes them appear more energetic!"

While washing his face, he noticed in the reflection of the water basin that he looked about four or five years younger overnight.

Su Yunshang couldn't help but smile and said softly, "Come and eat, I picked some wild vegetables behind the house and made wild vegetable porridge."

At the dinner table, Su Yushang and Qin Hongxiu looked at Luo Yunxiao's dashing appearance, which was almost unrecognizable from yesterday.

I felt a little strange and confused.

However, the two women didn't dare to ask any more questions; it was always a good thing that their husbands had become younger.

Su Yushang smiled slightly, her cheeks flushed, and she picked up her bowl and buried her head in her food.

She knew in her heart that it was her turn to serve the emperor tonight.

Su Yunshang noticed that Qin Hongxiu didn't seem to have much of an appetite; her lips were a little pale, and her hands holding the rice bowl were trembling slightly.

"Hongxiu, you don't have a good appetite. Is it because you can't eat?"

"I feel hot and cold all over, and I'm a little dizzy."

Qin Hongxiu said in a low voice.

Su Yunshang touched Qin Hongxiu's cheek and forehead; they felt slightly warm to the touch.

He glanced at her injured calf again, his brow furrowing slightly: "The wound is infected and she has a fever."

Luo Yunxiao and Su Yushang both felt a tightness in their chests.

A fever caused by a festering wound is no small matter; in times of limited medical resources, it could even be fatal.

Qin Hongxiu's condition requires first reducing her fever, and then controlling the infection.

There are no pharmacies in Chenjia Village; the nearest one is in Pinglu County, about 20 miles away.

"Don't worry about me, I'll be fine in a few days."

Qin Hongxiu's voice was trembling, and her teeth were chattering.

"No, your illness can't be delayed."

The village chief has fever reducers; I'll go buy some. You two take good care of her.

Luo Yunxiao gave Su Yunshang and her sister a few instructions, then left with some loose silver in her pocket.

The two sisters helped Qin Hongxiu onto the kang (a heated brick bed), and Su Yunshang pulled out the jade hairpin from her hair, twisted it open, and pulled out three silver needles.

Qin Hongxiu inserted a needle into Quchi, Hegu, and Zusanli acupoints.

Su Yunshang's acupoint selection was accurate, and her technique was skillful.

Su Yushang boiled a basin of hot water, soaked some dried mugwort in it, and used it to clean the injured area on Qin Hongxiu's leg.

After the needles were removed, Qin Hongxiu gradually fell into a deep sleep, and her symptoms of feeling cold all over her body began to improve.

Su's father once taught his two sisters that if they were in dire need of medical care, acupuncture could be used to control the infection of wounds and fever.

Su Yunshang specially crafted a hollow jade hairpin, which contained several silver needles for emergencies and could also be used as a self-defense weapon.

Su Yushang carried some dry firewood from the woodshed to heat the kang (a heated brick bed) and covered Qin Hongxiu with a quilt.

Luo Yunxiao knocked on the door of the village chief's house. When Zhao Dezhu saw him, his eyes lit up. The old Luo in front of him seemed to have become much younger.

"Old Luo? What's up?"

"Do you still have any fever reducers in your house? Give me a pack, my wife is sick."

"Yes, we do, but it's not cheap. It's 100 coins a pack, no bargaining."

Zhao Dezhu's family has a large number of members. Every time they go to the county town, in addition to buying daily necessities, they also buy some commonly used herbs to keep on hand.

For example, Bupleurum Fever-Reducing Powder can reduce fever.

Although it was fifty coins more expensive than usual, Qin Hongxiu was his wife, and each dose of medicine was a matter of life and death, so he had to buy it even if it was expensive.

Without hesitation, he took out one hundred coins and handed them to Zhao Dezhu.

As Luo Yunxiao left with the medicine, Zhao Dezhu watched his agile figure, feeling puzzled.

Does marrying more wives somehow make you younger?

He scratched his head, somewhat puzzled. Having a shrew at home made him feel powerless.

With three daughters-in-law, can they manage all the work?

...

Not long after, Luo Yunxiao returned home with a packet of medicine in his hand.

"Yunshang, you brew this medicine for Hongxiu, I'm going into the mountains to dig up some mountain produce."

We'll hunt some more game to help you recover; try to come back as soon as possible.

Luo Yunxiao took the wooden bow and quiver off the wall and wiped off the dust that covered them.

He put the machete and hoe into the medicine basket and prepared to go out again.

He now only has two coins left.

They can't even afford a bushel of unpolished rice.

If we don't go into the mountains to dig for wild produce or hunt, we'll starve.
