This is a bizarre rule, isn't it? It's supposed to grant me many children and good fortune

Leng Meng tilted her head, her smile deepening, and slowly replied:

"Looks like someone's itching for a beating, but I wonder if your kidneys can handle it."

Lin Feng raised his chin: "Your husband is at the Iron Kidney Realm. I'll take a good rest when I get back, and I definitely won't let you down."

Leng Meng gave a soft "heh," a glint in her eyes: "Then I'll wait and see."

After saying that, she released Lin Feng, turned around and went with Vivian to Tang Xiaofu and Tang Xiaorui, looking down at the two little ones in their swaddling clothes.

An'an and Ningning were sleeping soundly, occasionally smacking their lips.

"How beautiful!" Vivian exclaimed sincerely.

"This little face, I wonder how many people she'll charm when she grows up." Leng Meng also bent down and gently touched the back of Xiao Ningning's hand with her fingertips.

A moment later, Leng Meng straightened up: "Alright, you two have been standing here for ages, hurry up and go inside and rest."

The group filed into the mansion.

Tang Xiaofu and Tang Xiaorui carried the child back to their room. Lin Feng stayed with Tang Xiaofu and Tang Xiaorui for a while before quietly leaving, intending to go back to his own room to catch up on some sleep.

I had just lain down when the door was gently pushed open.

Vivian entered, carrying a small, dark brown glass bottle with a faint, warm herbal scent wafting from it, without the baby in her arms.

Lin Feng propped himself up: "What is this?"

Vivian walked to the bedside and sat down, handing him the bottle:

"This kidney tonic I specially brewed is even more effective than the one from the Abyss Prison. You just came out of the dungeon, so you must be quite exhausted. Drink it."

Lin Feng's eyes warmed, he took the bottle, tilted his head back and drank it all in one gulp.

The moment the medicine entered my throat, a surge of warmth rose rapidly from my lower abdomen, washing away all fatigue and even sending a tingling warmth through my fingertips.

"How is it?" Vivian tilted her head to look at him.

Lin Feng took a deep breath, his brows and eyes relaxing: "It warms me to the bone."

Vivian pursed her lips, then suddenly lowered her eyes, her fingers unconsciously pressing against her lower abdomen, her voice dropping several decibels:

"Honey... my lower tummy is a little uncomfortable, could you warm it up for me?"

Lin Feng nodded and patted the bed beside him: "Lie down."

Vivian lay down as instructed, and Lin Feng gently pulled open her clothes, revealing her fair and flat abdomen.

He placed his palm on it and touched it slightly; it was indeed icy cold.

He immediately rubbed his hands together until they were burning hot, then placed them on the cool skin, his palms pressing against it, and gently massaged it in circular motions.

The warmth slowly seeped into her palms, and Vivian's lower abdomen gradually warmed up. She bit her lower lip, and her breathing became slightly heavier.

After a while, she suddenly turned her head, her ears flushed a light pink, and her voice was muffled:

"Honey... Xiaoyeye's food bowl is a bit full, could you... help me clear out the excess?"

Lin Feng paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "It's my pleasure."

The inventory clearance process had only been going on for less than 5 seconds when suddenly—

"Knock knock knock".

The knocking was loud three times, neither too loud nor too soft.

Both of them jolted and jumped back instantly.

Vivian hurriedly dressed, quickly sat up, and subconsciously smoothed her hair and cleared her throat, trying her best to look like she was just "sitting normally on the edge of the bed."

Lin Feng took a deep breath and tried to keep his voice steady: "...Come in."

The door was pushed open.

Leng Meng stepped in.

Her warden uniform was impeccably tailored, and a leather whip was loosely held between her fingers.

My gaze swept over the bedside—Vivian sat upright, but there were obvious signs of hurried tugging at the hem of her clothes, and the faint pink tinge behind her ears was clearly visible.

Leng Meng stopped in her tracks, a smile gradually rising in her eyes, and a slight smirk appeared on her lips:

"Oh dear, did I arrive at the wrong time?"

Vivian coughed twice and spoke first:

"Um... my stomach isn't feeling well, so I asked my husband to warm it up. Mengmeng, what are you doing with that whip? It's kind of scary!"

Leng Meng, of course, wouldn't tell the truth. She raised her eyebrows and said:

"It's been a long time since I've been back to Abyss Prison. I dug out this uniform and put it on because I wanted to relive what it felt like to be the warden."

"You know what, the moment I put this outfit on, that energy came right back."

"Qin Yue sent me a message early this morning, asking when I would be going back to take charge of the overall situation."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Feng stood up abruptly, his brows furrowed.

"Go back to take charge? Mengmeng, you know that place better than I do—"

"It's gloomy and shrouded in miasma all year round. You just gave birth not long ago, and your body hasn't recovered yet. If you go back now, you'll be completely drained, both mentally and physically."

He walked to Leng Meng's side, placed his palm over the hand that held the whip in Leng Meng's hand, and looked at her seriously:

"Those investments you made in the Anning Quadrant during this period showed a lot of business acumen."

"I don't think you need to go back to that gloomy cage at all—isn't it better to make your mark in the Tranquility Quadrant than to go back to being a warden?"

Leng Meng pressed her lips together almost imperceptibly, a subtle warmth already spreading through her heart.

It was just an excuse she made up on the spot; she had no intention of returning to Abyss Prison.

Hearing Lin Feng's earnest plea to stay, she felt particularly pleased.

However, with Vivian still present, it was best not to show it on one's face.

Vivian sat on the edge of the bed, biting her lower lip, a subtle bittersweet feeling welling up inside her.

My husband's words just now were heartfelt, every word revealing his care for Leng Meng and his desire to keep her.

Come to think of it... I used to be a doctor in the Abyss Prison.

She quit her job to have children for him. Isn't that sacrifice worth mentioning?

Lin Feng noticed that Vivian's expression suddenly darkened for a moment, and immediately understood what was going on.

He released Leng Meng's hand, got up and walked over, gently rubbing Vivian's arm:

"Vivian, if you get bored staying at home, I'll open a clinic for you to play around with sometime."

"It would be a shame to throw away your medical skills—not to mention anything else, the kidney tonic you brewed would be so popular that men throughout the Anning Quadrant would line up to fight over it."

Vivian couldn't help but chuckle, a few tears welling up in her eyes.

She stepped forward, buried her face in Lin Feng's shoulder, and said in a muffled, nasal voice, "Thank you, husband."

After saying that, she stood up, straightened her clothes, and walked towards the door. As she passed Leng Meng, she turned her head and smiled slightly.

"I'll go check on Xiaoyeye, you guys chat."

The door closed gently.

She was certainly not in a real hurry to see the child.

In the current situation, being jealous and quarrelsome is actually a bad thing.

Taking a step back to move forward, and proactively giving your husband and Mengmeng some space, is the wisest course of action.

Sometimes, loosening your grip is more effective than clenching it tightly.

As soon as the door closed tightly, Lin Feng strode up to Leng Meng, his eyes burning with intensity.

"Warden, prisoner Lin Feng is in position—where do you plan to begin your interrogation?"

Leng Meng raised an eyebrow, used the tip of her whip to lift his chin, examined him for two seconds, then slowly withdrew her hand and leisurely turned to walk towards the door.

"This room is too dangerous. Someone might come any minute. Let's find another place."
