Three Kingdoms Mythology World.

After a night of bliss, Lin Mu felt refreshed and invigorated.

He gently emerged from the still-sleeping three women, then covered them with blankets, concealing their breathtaking beauty.

Then he gently wiped the sweat from Cai Yan's forehead, kissed her softly, and then tiptoed off the bed.

After doing all this, Lin Mu quietly closed the door, turned around, and walked out of the bedroom.

As if sensing Lin Mu's pity and tenderness, the corners of Cai Yan's lips curled up slightly as she slept...

The morning mist had not yet dissipated in the courtyard, carrying the unique, crisp scent of grass and trees that wafted towards him, making his already cheerful mood even more relaxed.

He looked up at the slowly rising golden edge of the eastern sky, and quietly circulated the Tailong Creation Scripture in his dantian. He felt that after the tenderness, he was not weak at all. On the contrary, the harmony of yin and yang made his dragon essence more condensed and mellow. He couldn't help but chuckle and walked towards the pavilion outside the courtyard.

Upon arriving at the dining hall, Lin Mu quickly finished his breakfast and then went to the True Dragon Pavilion.

During this time, Lin Mu had already read through all the system notifications that had sounded last night...

In the darkness, he seemed to see the now dim and lifeless list of the world's rankings... He could also vaguely make out the line of words written by Empress Dowager He.

However, there's something unusual about its title...

The four characters "Celestial Phoenix Goddess" gradually transformed into "Spiritual Contemplation Goddess"!
Empress Dowager He's imperial status and title have changed at some point!
“When I changed her fate before, the prompts were still ‘Celestial Phoenix Goddess,’ but this time I subdued ‘Spiritual Thought Goddess.’ Spiritual Thought was Empress He’s posthumous title, but now it has become her title of goddess… How strange…”

Just then, Lin Mu seemed to see, in a daze, the top spot on the dim Heaven and Earth Ranking slowly disappearing... And at that moment, a ranking list filled with dazzling purple aura slowly appeared. It originally had ten names, but now, eleven lines of text appeared on it!
【Spiritual Goddess】He Juan, He Lingsi!

"Holy crap... She's on the new Goddess Ranking? Eleventh?!" Lin Mu immediately knew what had happened.

Then, he seemed to see the names on that list:
First: Diao Chan, the "Goddess of Beauty"

Second: Zhen Mi (Zhen Wenluo), the Goddess of the Luo River!

Third: [Goddess of Wisdom] Cai Yan, Cai Wenji!

Fourth: [Exquisite Goddess] Qiao Mi and Qiao Miaoge
Fifth: [Wenwan Goddess] Qiao Yi (Qiao Wenxi)
Sixth: [Goddess Taiyi] Zhang Ning (Zhang Xinci)
Seventh: [National Princess and Goddess] Zou Yi Zou Yi Ji
Eighth: [Elemental Goddess] Huang Yueying
Ninth: [Heavenly Fragrance Goddess] Fan Xiangrong
Tenth: [Golden Jade Goddess] Mi Zhen

Eleventh: [Spiritual Goddess] He Juan (He Lingsi)

……

He vaguely sensed that the new list of goddesses of heaven and earth had undergone many changes.

"No... Lady Cai Yan's divine title has also changed!"

As everything happened, something gradually changed.

"Strange... How could He Juan be on the new list? Has she been given divine protection again?" Lin Mu found it rather strange.

Logically speaking, as a woman who had been married twice and was an old goddess, she should have been protected by heaven and earth and should have left the stage of history, but instead she stepped onto a new stage.

Last night, after Empress Dowager He... uh, He Juan crawled in, she whispered a reminder in his ear: "General, please have pity, this is my second time!"

Clearly, Liu Hong only kissed her for one night, and afterwards, because of her goddess-like nature, he dared not get close to her again.

In fact, for the emperor of the declining Han Dynasty, exchanging one hundred ordinary dragon fortunes for one dragon's original dragon fortune is not worthwhile!

It's not that the original dragon luck of one dragon is inferior to that of a hundred ordinary dragon lucks, but rather that he can't afford to gamble... What if he uses up the dragon luck of ninety-nine dragons... and then dies due to some circumstances... That would be terrible... It might ruin the future of the entire Han Dynasty!

Therefore, Liu Hong dared not take any risks.

Even with all the good fortune he now possesses, he is still carefully considering his options.

……

In Chenliu City, Chenliu Commandery, Cao Cao, who was browsing the latest intelligence, saw that the pitch-black night had turned into a purple sky and knew what had happened.

He looked up at the sky, his face a complex mix of emotions: jealousy, envy, resentment, regret, and bitterness...

And so, he gazed at the sky, quietly passing the night.

"Wenruo, I intend to marry her!" As the purple hue in the sky dissipated, Cao Cao finally lowered his head, looked at Xun Yu, and said firmly with a meaningful tone.

"This is a matter for our lord's family..." Xun Yu said calmly, letting Cao Cao make the decision himself.

A hint of resentment flickered in Xun Yu's eyes. Although they had obtained Chenliu County, the outcome of their scheme fell far short of their expectations… While they had temporarily driven away the powerful Lin Mu, their mission had ultimately failed!

"It's alright... I believe she will bring me good luck."

“She doesn’t have a name or courtesy name, so I gave her… her name is Bian Wu, courtesy name Yuehua.” Xun Yu neither nodded nor shook his head upon hearing this, remaining silent.

The woman Cao Cao was referring to was the courtesan surnamed Bian, whom he had previously acquired. Because she had no given name, she was generally referred to as Lady Bian. Later, Cao Cao took her back to his home, but his first wife, Lady Ding, disagreed. He kept her secretly without giving her any official status.

What happened last night spurred him on, which is why he became so assertive.

“Buzz!~~~~” Just then, a strange purple cloud suddenly appeared above Chenliu City.

The one shrouded in purple clouds was none other than Cao Cao, who had just spoken!
This is not a purple cloud signifying fate, but a purple cloud signifying auspiciousness and good fortune!

"Is that even possible?!" Xun Yu, standing to the side, looked up at the sky, his face filled with astonishment.

Cao Cao was overjoyed. He heard the sounds of heaven and earth resonating in his ears…

Previously, he had taken He Jin's daughter-in-law, Lady Yin, back to his home as a concubine, which enraged his first wife, Lady Ding, leaving him trembling with fear.

Lady Ding had been childless all these years, and the son she raised, Cao Ang, was born to another concubine. She couldn't find much fault with him, so she could only give him the cold shoulder.

Actually, he felt quite guilty... Madam Ding had long urged him to take wives and concubines, but every time he brought them back, they were married women and courtesans... How could she not be angry... Even if he married a young woman in her prime, she wouldn't have any objections...

This time, he insisted on giving Bian Ji a formal title, and he was already prepared to completely break ties with Madam Ding. Unexpectedly, auspicious omens descended from heaven and earth. Doesn't this mean that he made the right move?!

Cao Cao took a deep breath to suppress the turmoil in his heart, bowed deeply to the sky, and when he raised his head again, his eyes were full of sharp glint.

Although he didn't have the ability to 'see' the Heavenly Goddess Ranking like Lin Mu, he knew about Bian Ji's inclusion on the list, as he had received considerable benefits from it.

Lin Mu gained Empress Dowager He, and he also gained Bian Wu!
Just as purple clouds enveloped Cao Cao, Lin Mu, who was still 'browsing' the Heavenly Goddess Ranking, suddenly noticed auspicious fluctuations in the rankings. After Empress Dowager He, another line of text appeared:

Twelfth: [Heavenly Martial Goddess] Bian Wu Bian Yuehua!!!

"What's going on?!" Lin Mu was utterly astonished.

In just a short while, a new goddess of heaven and earth has appeared?
“Bian Wu Bian Yuehua… I’ve never heard of this person before…” Lin Mu said with some surprise.

"Bian...could it be Lady Bian? The one Cao Cao snatched from the brothel?!"

Lady Bian certainly brought Cao Cao a lot of good fortune.

This can be seen from the fact that he fathered four sons with Cao Cao: Cao Pi (Emperor Wen of Wei), Cao Zhang, Cao Zhi, and Cao Xiong.

"As expected of Cao Cao!!" Lin Mu exclaimed in amazement.

Lin Mu had a premonition that all of this was related to him.

"Cao Cao has many sons, so I have to work hard too..." Lin Mu said softly.

He was always on the move and rarely had time to spend with his two wives. But he knew that he needed an heir. After all, only with offspring could the Great Wilderness territory truly be stabilized, and the successor was the pillar of strength that the Tiger Ministers recognized.

At the same time, it also relieves the worries of the wives and fathers-in-law in the family.

Then, Lin Mu turned his attention to the rewards he had received. After quickly reviewing the rewards for Origin Dragon Luck and Phoenix Cloud, he focused on the territory buffs and the ten achievement rewards:

1. [Dragon Pendant];
2. [Phoenix Pendant];
3. One [Nine Luminaries Constellation Divine Domain Array Plate Diagram];
4. One [Illustration of the Mountain and River Town Protectorate Array];
5. One [Power of Blessing];
6. One special military token, "Spiritual Maid";
7. [Illustration of the Six Ding Jupiter Teleportation Array] (one copy);
8. One [Heaven and Earth Annihilation Order];
9. One divine-tier weapon, the Thousand-Layer Glazed Spear;
10. One Divine-Rank [Nuwa Treasure Chest].

……

Wow, every achievement reward this time feels incredibly valuable!

The 5th, 8th, 9th, and 10th rewards are considered standard.

The sixth reward is similar to the military token for the literary maidservant soldiers under Cai Yan's command...

Lin Mu first checked the seventh reward, only to find it was just an ordinary teleportation array. Why ordinary? Because this teleportation array could only transport a very small number of people at a time, only ten, and its cooldown period was a full day!
This is worlds apart from other teleportation arrays.

Its only advantage is that it is very well concealed, and as long as there is the power of the stars, that is, at night, it can hide very well, and the fluctuations of its teleportation are extremely difficult to detect... Some ordinary sealing methods are ineffective against it.

Furthermore, it comes with a matching teleportation jade talisman. No matter where you are, you can use the talisman to teleport from the nearest teleportation array.

Its advantages and disadvantages are both obvious... Because it is an illustrated guide, it can be considered to add a touch of history to the Great Wilderness Territory.

The fourth reward is the "Mountain and River Suppressing Mountain City Protection Array Diagram," which allows you to deploy the "Mountain and River Suppressing Mountain City Protection Array" on a county-level territory. Its protective power can withstand attacks from those at or below the level of a Six-Element Divine General.

This illustrated guide greatly enhances the defensive capabilities of Wenyuan Town and Jinyuan Town after they are upgraded to county towns. (End of Chapter)
