Swallowing the Stars: Starting with Family Revitalization

Chapter 3 Wife is Pregnant

Shen Ping sobered up considerably in an instant, his eyes fixed intently on the front.

The third level of the Nine-fold Thunder Blade.

Just as I expected, owning property in the company would earn me family rewards.

"In ancient times, prestigious families rose to prominence step by step through their accumulated family wealth and reputation. Therefore, as long as one strives in this direction—with a large population, family assets, territory, and prestige—one should be able to continuously reap the rewards!"

His eyes shone with excitement, and he couldn't wait to get started. However, he knew that haste makes waste, and having children was not something that could be achieved overnight; it required a lot of time to accumulate resources. After all, pregnancy lasts for ten months, and even if his wife were pregnant now, it would still be a long time before she gave birth.

clam down.

Looking out the car window at the dazzling lights and bustling city life flashing by.

Shen Ping's heart gradually calmed down.

"No rush, take your time."

Having spent so long in the Swallowed Star world, he has plenty of patience to improve himself.

Back to the detached villa at No. 76, Nanyuan Community.

He took a shower, while his wife, Li Yuewei, went to the kitchen to cook a bowl of hangover soup.

When drinking soup.

Li Yuewei said apologetically, "It was wrong of me to let Captain Qin come to celebrate."

Notifying the Gale Squad to attend the company's opening was a decision she made without her consent.

Shen Ping held Li Yuewei's soft little hand. "Wife, I know you mean well, but whatever decisions you make in the future, you must inform me in advance, even if you know I won't agree."

Li Yuewei nodded and said softly, "I understand."

Shen Ping chuckled and pinched Li Yuewei's cheek. "Alright, go take a shower. After you're done, wait for me in bed. We need to work hard so that your parents can hold their grandson soon."

After drinking the hangover soup.

He went to the training hall to practice his swordsmanship.

The Ninefold Thunder Blade is a notoriously difficult sword technique, with the difficulty increasing as you progress. However, if you manage to master it, the benefits it brings are enormous.

Chi Chi.

He swung his left arm and slashed the air with his sword. Waves of hidden force emanated from the muscles and bones of his arm and were transmitted to the sword. As he became more familiar with it, his heart was like a lake. The ripples generated by the vibration of the sword could be clearly seen on the surface of the lake, and these waves were layers of hidden force.

The third level can unleash three more layers of hidden force, each layer containing 70% of the force, for a total of four layers, which can unleash 280% of the force, or 2.8 times the normal force.

Shen Ping's current punching power is around 12,000. If he were to unleash the Nine-Fold Thunder Blade, his punching power would exceed 30,000. The punching power level of a mid-level warrior is between 16000 and 32000 kg. Therefore, as long as he fully masters the third level of the Nine-Fold Thunder Blade and combines it with perfect-level movement techniques, his combat power will approach the level of a high-level warrior.

Although he is only a high-level general at the lowest level, he is more than qualified to be the captain of an elite martial arts squad in the Central China base city.

After practicing the swordsmanship.

He began practicing the Guiding Technique "Ninefold Chaotic Origin," which was the guiding technique accompanying the Ninefold Thunder Blade. For martial artists, the guiding technique was fundamental; only through continuous daily practice could their physical fitness be constantly improved.

These years since I traveled through time.

He never stopped, but unfortunately his talent was too ordinary, and his daily improvement was very limited.

However, having just unleashed the Ninefold Thunder Blade, his body had consumed a great deal of energy, and his cells were thirstily absorbing free energy from the universe, a process that lasted for two hours before stopping.

Although he knew that the higher one's comprehension of the Ninefold Thunder Blade, the faster one's physical abilities would improve, Shen Ping was still pleasantly surprised by this efficiency.

You should know that after he bought the first few levels of the "Nine-fold Thunder Blade" manual, he only mastered the first level of Thunder Blade. He was considered good if he could practice the guiding technique for half an hour every day.

"At this rate, I should be able to increase my punching power by six to eight thousand per year. In two years, my combat strength will surpass that of a high-level warrior!"

of course.

This is only the ideal situation. He is over thirty years old, and his physical functions are definitely not as good as those of an eighteen or nineteen-year-old. His cultivation efficiency will also decline every year. But no matter how much it declines, relying on the Nine-fold Thunder Blade, Shen Ping is confident that he can reach the level of a War God within five years.

"The future is promising."

Humming a little tune.

He took a cold shower before going to the bedroom.

His wife, Li Yuewei, was wearing a pink and white nightgown. Her moist skin was so alluring that it made one's blood boil. When she saw Shen Ping rushing over, she put down the magazine in her hand and said resentfully, "Why do you practice martial arts for so long? You usually finish in a little over an hour."

Shen Ping laughed and said, "I was in a good mood today, so I practiced a little longer."

As he spoke, he slipped one hand inside the lace trim of his pajamas.

"Hate."

"Turn off the lights quickly."

"Just draw the curtains, don't turn off the lights tonight, I want to properly admire my wife's figure."

"You're going to die, turn off the light now."

They'd been married for a while, but his wife was still reserved in this regard, acting shy like a young girl. Shen Ping didn't want to force her, so he simply turned off the lights.

Soon.

The most primitive symphony resounded in the spacious bedroom.

……

The days passed by.

June is almost over.

Two months have passed since Pingwei Materials Company opened. Although no big deals have been made during this period, the company has managed to keep up with its expenses thanks to the Kuangfeng Squad and the managerial connections that Li Yuewei has cultivated.

In this regard.

Shen Ping was quite satisfied.

On the way home with my wife in the evening.

Li Yuewei talked about her cousin. Unlike Shen Ping, several of her parents' sisters and brothers survived the Great Nirvana and had a good relationship with each other.

"My cousin is graduating from Huazhong University this July. It's hard to find a job in the base city right now. My parents want me to use my connections to see if I can get him a job at HR Alliance Mall. This is really worrying me."

"The mall is so crowded, there's no place like it. The only way to get in is to become the material acquisition manager, but that job requires connections, and my cousin doesn't have any connections, so he can't get in at all."

Shen Ping's heart skipped a beat. He was planning to open another shop, but hadn't found a suitable opportunity yet. "Honey," he said, "why don't we open another shop and have your cousin come and help out?"

Li Yuewei shook her head, "No, Pingwei Company needs a lot of funds to keep it running. You can't touch the money you've saved. I'll figure something out myself."

Shen Ping laughed and said, "It's just a regular hot pot restaurant. It won't cost much. It's near our neighborhood. I estimate it would cost at most ten or eight million. Besides your cousin, our parents can come too. They're getting old and can't do heavy work, so they can quit their jobs."

Li Yuewei was somewhat tempted, but hesitated. "Husband, although we are husband and wife, I don't want to trouble you with everything."

"What's the trouble? Besides, I just want to show my filial piety to my parents."

Seeing Shen Ping say this.

The wife was quite touched and whispered, "Leave the lights on tonight."

Shen Ping's body trembled, and he suddenly increased his driving speed.

"Slower."

"Look how anxious you are."

Li Yuewei covered her mouth and chuckled.

the next day.

Shen Ping went to look for new shops near the community, but after circling around several times, he couldn't find any shops for rent or sale. Nanyuan Community is a place where martial artists live, and the surrounding area is bustling. No business would give up such a place.

no way.

He had no choice but to settle for a more distant route.

I searched for it all day.

He found a shop ready for rent at the Xing'an Road intersection, called the shop owner and talked for more than half an hour. After agreeing on the price, he called the decoration company.

A few days later.

Li Yuewei brought her cousin to the shop.

Hello, cousin-in-law.

Li Qi greeted them warmly and introduced the girl beside him, "This is my girlfriend, Su Tong."

Su Tong was dressed very sexily, wearing only a pink tank top and a short skirt. Her youthful and beautiful skin showed off her curvaceous figure. She extended her hand and said sweetly, "Greetings, brother-in-law."

We shook hands briefly.

The group then entered the shop.

The restaurant was under renovation. After taking a quick look around, Shen Ping started talking about the things that needed to be paid attention to in the future management of the hot pot restaurant.

"Don't worry, brother-in-law, I will definitely work hard and make the business thrive."

"Don't put too much pressure on yourself, as long as you don't lose money."

We had lunch.

Shen Ping and his wife returned to the residential area. Before they even entered the door, Li Yuewei complained, "My cousin's girlfriend knew she was going to meet you today, yet she dressed so scantily. She's obviously not a decent girl. And even when she greeted you, she shook your hand. She clearly had ulterior motives."

"My wife is right."

Shen Ping sensed a hint of jealousy and quickly said righteously, "Don't worry, I definitely won't mess with a girl like that."

Li Yuewei stared at Shen Ping. "If you don't want to mess with this kind, which kind do you want to mess with?"

"Of course, it's about seducing my wife."

Li Yuewei immediately beamed with joy, "You passed! I have good news for you, I'm pregnant."
