Twin female zombies come to the door: My lord, please have mercy!

Froststar lay on the edge of the bed, her hands supporting her cheeks, a trace of drool hanging from the corner of her mouth, staring longingly at Lin Ye's palm.

"Brother-in-law, this dark copper coin smells so good! I feel like if I just eat one, I'll become super powerful! Can I have it for breakfast?"

Lin Ye, annoyed, flicked his finger lightly on the little girl's smooth forehead.

"Dream on! This is hard currency meant for saving lives, how can you eat it like a snack?"

Lin Ye put nine of the coins into his system space, leaving only one between his two fingers.

He looked at Frostnova's pitiful face as she covered her forehead, and his heart softened. He smiled and waved.

"Come here, stick your foot out."

Upon hearing this, Froststar immediately took off her shoes and got into bed obediently.

She stretched out her right leg and placed it on Lin Ye's thigh.

The little foot was crystal clear, and a red rope woven with brass bells was tied around the ankle.

Lin Ye untied the red rope, threaded the Netherworld Coin through the square hole in the middle, and then retied it around Shuangxing's ankle.

The dark, ancient underworld coins clung to her fair skin, creating a striking visual contrast.

"This coin is for you as a talisman. The laws of the underworld it contains can nourish your Corpse King essence and help stabilize your realm. Wear it, and don't steal any food, understand?"

Lin Ye reached out and pinched her chubby cheeks.

Froststar looked down at the extra black coins on her ankle and swung her leg.

The copper bell and the coin rang together, producing a clear and ethereal sound.

"Thank you, brother-in-law! Froststar likes you the most!"

The little girl cheered and jumped for joy, throwing herself into Lin Ye's arms like an octopus, wrapping her arms tightly around his neck.

Two sharp little tiger teeth nibbled lightly a few times at that familiar spot on the neck, leaving a shallow tooth mark that was slightly cool and damp.

Just as the two were playing around on the bed.

The wooden door to the bedroom was gently pushed open.

Leng Yue slowly walked in, carrying a tray that exuded a rich aroma of rice.

Today she changed into a fitted black turtleneck sweater, paired with a well-tailored dark gray pencil skirt.

This outfit perfectly accentuated her stunning curves, with her long, straight legs peeking out from under the skirt.

Her long, silvery-white hair was pulled up high by a newly polished, dark wood hairpin, revealing a swan-like, graceful, and fair neck.

Her movements were light and graceful, and when she saw the two people playing on the bed, a trace of tenderness flashed in her deep red eyes.

"My lord, it's time for breakfast."

Leng Yue placed the tray on the bedside table.

On the tray were two bowls of thick white rice porridge, several plates of delicate side dishes, and a cup of warm goji berry and ginseng tea specially prepared for Lin Ye.

Since settling down in the shop, this once ruthless and merciless thousand-year-old red beast, who regarded all living beings as ants, has gradually become tainted by the mundane world.

She learned to live a modern lifestyle, learned to use a gas stove, and even showed amazing talent in cooking.

Lin Ye took off the Frost Star from his body, stood up, picked up the cup of ginseng tea, and took a sip.

The warm tea slid down my throat, dispelling the last trace of morning languor.

"Thank you for your hard work, my wife."

Lin Ye pulled over a chair for Leng Yue to sit down.

Just then, a faint light flashed on my retina, and the system's distinctive notification sound rang out crisply in my mind.

"Ding! My Lord, please be respectful. The system has issued a daily interactive task: [The Ownership of the Elixir]."

[A rare and precious 'two-hundred-year-old wild purple Ganoderma' has been detected in the host's storage space. If not handled properly, its medicinal effects will diminish over time. The host must finalize a distribution plan for this elixir within three minutes, demonstrating the strategic brilliance of a head of household!]

[Option A: Provide equal care and warmth to the whole family—personally cook a pot of nourishing soup, combining purple Ganoderma lucidum with pure Yang blood. The focus is on refining the Corpse King's body, tempered by Frost Star, and stabilizing Cold Moon's frenzied origins as a half-step Drought Demon.]

[Reward: Harem harmony greatly increases, unlocking the special achievement "Master Chef". Consequence: The process is tedious and requires an entire morning's effort.]

[Option B: To hoard the bounty, selfish and self-serving—hiding in the bathroom, chewing and swallowing the raw purple lingzhi mushroom, forcibly raising the upper limit of the pure yang body.]

[Reward: Permanently increase Yang Qi cap by 20. Consequence: Due to the potency of the elixir, you will suffer a nosebleed on the spot, and the two women will be extremely speechless at your stinginess.]

[Option C: Use someone else's gift to curry favor – pack it up and send it to Fatty Wang, or give it to Chu Hongyan in Bureau Nine to gain a favor.]

[Reward: +50 Connection Points. Consequence: This wasteful behavior will cause trouble at home; the two zombie ladies will team up to hang you upside down from the ceiling for three days.]

Option D: A terrible waste – slice it up and use it for a foot bath. Reward: Earn the title "Jiangzhou's Number One Spendthrift". No positive benefits.

Upon seeing these four options, Lin Ye couldn't help but roll his eyes inwardly.

This system always likes to cram a bunch of absurd options into the daily choices that make you want to punch someone.

Eating it raw will cause nosebleeds? Should I use it for a foot bath?

Such rare treasures should naturally be used to their fullest potential.

I choose A.

Lin Ye gave his answer in his heart.

He picked up the bowl of porridge and quickly shoveled down a few mouthfuls. Then he stood up and glanced at the two stunningly beautiful female zombies.

"Cold moon, frosty stars. The pair of purple Ganoderma lucidum sent by the Song family are extremely potent; their spiritual energy easily dissipates if left for too long."

Lin Ye walked to the clothes rack and casually draped a shirt over his shoulders.

"The shop is closed this morning, so I'm going to the kitchen to make a pot of nourishing soup. It'll help Froststar strengthen the foundation of the Netherworld Corpse King and also suppress the remaining Drought Demon Fire Poison in your body."

Upon hearing this, Leng Yue immediately put down her bowl and chopsticks and stood up.

"Such rough work, why trouble you to do it yourself, sir? I will take care of it."

She gently stopped him and reached out to take the apron that Lin Ye had draped over the back of the chair.

Lin Ye seized the opportunity to grab her wrist and pulled her half a step closer.

Their eyes met.

Lin Ye looked into her deep red, jewel-like eyes, and a gentle smile appeared on his lips:

"To brew this spiritual soup, you need the original true blood of my pure Yang Dao body as a medicinal guide. The temperature of the Red Lotus Karmic Fire you control is too high, and it will easily burn away the medicinal properties of the Ganoderma lucidum. Be good and wait upstairs. Today, I'll let you taste my cooking."

Leng Yue felt the burning heat coming from her wrist, and a faint blush rose on her cheeks.

She stopped insisting and obediently nodded.

Lin Ye walked down the stairs, flipped his palm, and the pair of purple Ganoderma lucidum appeared in his hand.

In the shadows unseen on the second floor, the medicinal herbs, which should have been inanimate, were now emitting faint sounds like a baby crying, in sync with Lin Ye's breathing.

Lin Ye noticed that along the edge of the deep purple umbrella-shaped canopy, there were a few fine, white hairs that did not belong to fungi, as if they were left behind by some living creature that had been forcibly buried in the soil as it struggled.

The natural cloud-like patterns on the surface of the Ganoderma lucidum, under the dim kitchen light, shifted and wriggled, eventually piecing together distorted and desperate old man faces.

The pair of "wild" purple Ganoderma lucidum sent by the Song family probably didn't grow in any famous mountains or rivers, but rather in the cracks of a coffin in a century-old grave.

They absorb not only the essence of heaven and earth, but also the intense, unyielding will to live of the tomb owner before his death!
