Many children bring many blessings; my offspring are scattered throughout the myriad realms.

"Husband, are you going to White Stone City?"

Han Xiaoshuang's delicate body trembled slightly, and a hint of panic and fear appeared in her eyes.

She had once been a maidservant of the Yan family, so she naturally knew the strength of Yan Family Fortress.

Now that Gou Lan has broken through, the Yan family has gained another Foundation Establishment stage cultivator.

Ye Hao was only practicing Qi cultivation; how could she not be worried?

"Don't overthink it. I know what I'm doing. Go and gather everyone; I have something to say!"

Ye Hao patted Han Xiaoshuang's hand to reassure her.

"Um!"

Han Xiaoshuang left, looking worried.

She knew she couldn't stop Ye Hao, and had no reason to.

"Time waits for no one! I was originally planning to play it safe and develop my strength for a while!"

Ye Hao sighed.

He originally thought that Gou Lan had just obtained some kind of opportunity, or that the old man in the ring had awakened.

Even for a peerless genius, mastering alchemy still requires a process.

Gou Lan, however, took off directly and even obtained a Foundation Establishment Pill out of thin air.

Then there's only one truth: her Foundation Establishment Pill was a system reward.

Soon, Ye Hao's wives and concubines gathered in the family council hall, and even the two infants were brought by their parents.

"My lord, has something terrible happened?"

The women were all a little worried when they saw Ye Hao's serious expression.

"Gou Lan has already broken through to the Foundation Establishment stage and is growing rapidly. This is a significant threat to us, and I must deal with her personally!"

After Ye Hao finished speaking, he looked at the twins and said, "Xiao Xun and Xiao Die, the matter of marrying you two will have to be postponed!"

"It's alright, business comes first!"

Gu Xiaoxun and Gu Xiaodie waved their little hands at the same time and gave Ye Hao sweet smiles.

Although they also wanted to become cultivators as soon as possible, as Guan Miaoyi's maids and right-hand women, they were still very sensible.

"My husband, I'll go with you!"

Guan Miaoyi glanced at everyone and immediately stood up.

Nowadays, Ye Hao's wives and concubines are either recently gave birth or are heavily pregnant, so only she has free time.

Moreover, as a master of the second rank, she can directly confront cultivators in the mid-stage of Qi Refining.

If done unexpectedly, it can even kill someone in the late stage of Qi Refining.

"Miaoyi, Ning'er and the others are too young and inexperienced. The family needs an experienced person like you to keep things in order, otherwise I won't feel at ease!"

Ye Hao shook his head.

This time, the enemy he faced was not only the Foundation Establishment stage cultivators of Yan Family Fortress, but also the system bound to Gou Lan.

If non-system and non-host personnel get involved, they could be wiped out in an instant.

He couldn't bear to see such a beautiful and radiant woman perish.

"Husband, you're only at the tenth level of Qi Refining!"

The women bit their lips, and Zhao Lian'er even wiped away her tears.

"Who said I'm at the tenth level of Qi Refining?"

After Ye Hao finished speaking, he immediately released his fully refined Qi aura.

"If I had a Foundation Establishment Pill, I could establish my foundation right now, and I also have a ferocious second-tier spirit beast!"

As he spoke, Ye Hao tossed the little ant onto the table.

"A second-tier spirit beast, is that it?"

Zhao Lian'er looked at the Soul-Devouring Ants with a hint of contempt in her eyes.

hum!

The next moment, the Soul-Eating Ant turned into a wisp of light and vanished instantly.

When it reappeared, it was already in front of Zhao Lian'er, and placed a thin ant leg on Zhao Lian'er's forehead.

"hiss--"

Zhao Lian'er suddenly felt a chill run through her body and couldn't help but gasp.

She had a strong feeling that this little thing could kill her at any moment.

"Little ant, don't scare my wife!"

hum!

Upon hearing this, the Soul-Eating Ant trembled and slunk back to the table.

However, it was still a little unwilling, so it grabbed the brush on the table and wrote a big "humph" and threw it in front of Zhao Lian'er.

"Little ant, I was wrong. I underestimated ants. You're incredibly amazing!"

Zhao Lian'er gave it a thumbs up.

Only then did she understand the meaning of "you can't judge a book by its cover" and "you can't measure the ocean with a bushel".

Upon hearing this, the Soul-Eating Ant immediately put its hands on its hips and raised its chin, as if to say, "That's more like it!"

"My ladies, I've summoned you today not only to announce my departure, but also to discuss the formation!"

Then, Ye Hao told his wives how to activate the Reversed Five Elements Formation.

"This grand formation has already enveloped the entire Ye family. Once activated, it can trap even those at the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage. As long as you don't leave the Ye family compound, you're safe!"

"Don't worry, my husband, we won't go out until you return!"

"I'll be away for a few days to half a month this time. Xiaolian and Lian'er could go into labor at any time, so please keep a close eye on them!"

Ye Hao glanced at the faces of his many wives and couldn't help but feel a little guilty.

The husband didn't even stay by his wife's side when she gave birth; that's absolutely heinous!

"Don't worry, my husband, we will definitely take good care of everyone!"

Luo Ning and Gongsun Yu immediately expressed their opinions.

"We're still here!"

At this moment, Guan Miaoyi and the twins also stepped forward.

"It's so good to have you all!"

Ye Hao handed the peach wood sword to Han Xiaoshuang, and then spent some more time being affectionate with his wives, until he was covered in lipstick marks on his face before reluctantly leaving.

……

"System, what exactly is your system?"

High above, Ye Hao looked down at the magnificent scenery and couldn't help but ask the question that had been on his mind.

This involves fundamental principles and order, which are beyond your current understanding.

"Okay, you said before that systems are also divided into factions, so there must be stronger and weaker ones, right? Do you think Gou Lan's system is strong or not?"

[I'll only know after seeing it. Hopefully, it's a support system. If it's a main combat system, then that's a bit troublesome!]

"They're both systems, why is there this difference?"

Of course, systems like the Killing System and the Bandit System are the main combat systems, while systems like the Alchemy System and the Boosting System are auxiliary systems. The gap between the two systems widens as you progress!

"So what system are you?"

[I'm neither a main combatant nor a support character; if we're really going to delve deeper, I'd say I'm a system focused on enjoyment!]

"I didn't see you enjoying it either?"

Ye Hao glanced at Tong Niang's two towering, trembling mounds and her perfectly round, full-moon-like millstone, and couldn't help but sneer inwardly.

I really want to polish it!

I wonder what it's like to be a leader?

You're too young to understand!

"I'm small? You dare say I'm small? Come on, let me measure you and see just how deep you really are!"

Ye Hao was so angry that his veins were bulging, and he was about to unzip his pants so that Tong Niang could measure him.

As a result, the leader rolled her eyes and disappeared.

While they were rambling on, White Stone City was already in sight.

To avoid unnecessary trouble, Ye Hao descended outside the city and entered White Stone City as a mortal.

"System, since we're both systems, will that guy notice your arrival?"

No, I've concealed your presence too!

"Then I'm relieved!"

Led by the Soul-Eating Ants, Ye Hao checked into the inn closest to Yan Family Fortress.

At the same time, he sent the Soul-Eating Ants to infiltrate Yan Family Fortress and keep an eye on Gou Lan.

Now that Ye Hao has reached the pinnacle of Qi cultivation, there's no point in keeping those eight years of cultivation experience.

So he tried to add his cultivation experience to the "Phantom Thunder Seven Kill Sword".

To his surprise, his cultivation experience actually proved useful for his spells, and his "Phantom Thunder Seven Kill Sword" broke through from zero to the seventh level of perfection.

"666! Now I can even put up a fight against a regular Foundation Establishment stage cultivator!"

Just as Ye Hao was feeling smug, the Soul-Devouring Ants suddenly rushed in through the window.

"Boss, Gou Lan has gone mad. She must have received news of the Gou family's annihilation!"

The Soul-Eating Ant grabbed a pen and started writing rapidly.

"The Gou family is truly useless; they're only just now sending this message!"

Ye Hao complained for a while, then suddenly stroked his chin and said, "Gou Lan's mentality has collapsed now, which is the best time to eliminate her, but Yan Family Fortress is not the place to make a move!"

"Boss, not necessarily!"

"What do you mean by that?"

"When Gou Lan went mad, she suddenly threw out an array plate. I couldn't see or sense anything outside!"

The Soul-Eating Ant immediately wrote another long passage.

"An array? That's got potential!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Hao's eyes lit up.

[Let's go! I'm going to destroy that system!]

The leader escaped again, her eyes gleaming with excitement.
