Many children, many blessings; a stunningly beautiful wife is given to you right from the start.

Night fell, enveloping the entire Dingbei Prefecture.

Unlike the raging storm inside Tianxin Pavilion, Qiqiao Pavilion was peaceful and serene.

Gu Meng'er was sleeping soundly.

She was hugging a soft pillow, a sweet smile on her lips, as if she were having a wonderful dream.

My sister said she had something to do that night and told me to go to sleep first, so I obediently went to sleep.

Completely unaware that her older sister had dressed up as a catgirl and delivered her into the wolf's mouth of a wicked uncle.

In her dream, Gu Meng'er felt as if she were in a warm ocean, feeling light and comfortable.

Suddenly—

A strange heat surged up without warning!

It instantly spread throughout my limbs and bones!

"Um……"

Gu Meng'er, in her sleep, let out an unconscious murmur.

Her delicate brows furrowed slightly, her arms tightened unconsciously around the pillow, and her body curled up under the covers.

How strange...

My body... feels so hot...

It's just like……

They were surrounded by a ball of fire.

The intense heat grew increasingly turbulent and rampant, bringing Gu Meng'er an indescribable sense of dread.

It feels tingly and numb.

It makes her want to grasp something, but she can't grasp anything at all.

"elder sister……"

Gu Meng'er called out in a daze, her voice barely audible.

The dream became bizarre and fantastical.

She thought she saw her older sister, and she also thought she saw her younger uncle.

Their figures were intertwined, making it difficult for her to see them clearly.

Immediately afterwards, an even stronger shock, as if it would melt her, swept over her!

"Ugh...!"

Gu Meng'er let out a suppressed sob, her little face flushed red, and fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.

She writhed restlessly in the bed, unable to escape from that shameful dream.

"Um...no..."

"That's so strange..."

Gu Meng'er's voice was pleading, yet it also contained a trembling tone that made one blush and their heart race.

……

The night is long.

Tianxin Pavilion.

After an unknown amount of time, the urgent ringing finally subsided.

The only sound in the room was heavy, labored breathing.

Gu Ling'er, like a broken ragdoll cat, lay limply on the messy bed, her whole body glowing with an alluring pink.

Those big eyes, which usually sparkled with cunning and fervor, were now completely unfocused.

My mind went completely blank.

who am I?

where am I?

What did I just experience?

Lin Mo propped himself up, feeling refreshed.

He looked down at the little wildcat beneath him, whose body had completely shut down, and a smug, wicked smile curled at the corner of his mouth.

"Fourth Miss, how are you feeling?"

Lin Mo's voice carried the satisfaction of a full meal.

"Isn't my massage technique much more professional than yours?"

Gu Ling'er's big eyes struggled to move, finally refocusing on Lin Mo.

"ah--!"

She let out a short scream, curled up abruptly, and frantically grabbed the blanket, trying to cover herself.

"You...you big bad guy!"

Gu Ling'er's voice was soft and hoarse, without any harm, sounding like she was being coquettish.

Lin Mo chuckled softly.

He then pulled the blanket over Gu Ling'er's shapely body.

"Now you know to call me a bad guy?"

He leaned down and whispered in her ear, his warm breath brushing against Gu Ling'er's reddened earlobe.

"I don't know who was shouting so loudly just now."

"I...I didn't!"

Gu Ling'er buried her head in the soft pillow, so embarrassed she felt like she was about to spontaneously combust.

[Gu Ling'er's inner thoughts]: Ahhh! He's still talking! This devil! I'm so ashamed! My innocence! My meteorite!

That's right! Meteorite!

Gu Ling'er's obsession with the divine material brought her back to her senses.

She suddenly raised her head, her eyes defiant.

"Uncle! You...you said it! The deal is done! Those extraterrestrial meteorites...are all mine!"

"trade?"

Lin Mo raised an eyebrow and looked at her with feigned confusion.

His expression was innocent and confused.

"What kind of deal?"

Gu Ling'er was stunned.

[Gu Ling'er's inner thoughts]: He...he's trying to renege on his debt?! I knew it! That wicked uncle! He took advantage of me and now he wants to turn his back on me! I...I'll fight him to the death!

"You...you're not playing dumb!"

Gu Ling'er became anxious, and her voice even sounded like she was about to cry.

She pointed to the disheveled catgirl outfit, then to the messy bed.

"I...I'm already like this! You said there's no such thing as a free lunch! You...you have to keep your promise!"

"oh--"

Lin Mo nodded in sudden realization, then grinned mischievously.

"Fourth Miss, are you mistaken?"

"When did we ever make a deal?"

"All I remember is that you said this morning that you would do anything for the extraterrestrial meteorite."

"Then, you came to my room that night wearing this outfit."

Lin Mo's voice was low and filled with a seductive magnetism.

"This is hardly a transaction!"

"This is clearly my fourth wife, who has come to serve me in bed."

boom!

Serve him in bed!

These two words struck Gu Ling'er like a thunderbolt, hitting her hard on the top of her head.

She was completely stunned.

A transaction is an equal exchange.

And serving the emperor in bed is... is...

"You...you're shameless!"

She hesitated for a long time before finally managing to squeeze out a weak and feeble sentence.

[Gu Ling'er's inner thoughts]: It's over! It's over! I've been tricked by this big bad guy! My meteorite iron! My innocence! All gone! Waaaaah...

Just when Gu Ling'er's mind completely went blank and she began to question the meaning of life.

Lin Mo, however, was already satisfied and focused his attention on his mind.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you and Gu Ling'er have achieved perfect harmony and you have received the First Blood Gift Pack!]

coming!

Lin Mo felt a surge of excitement.

Let me see what good stuff this exploding kitten can blast out!

"Open the gift pack!"

[Ding! Gift pack successfully opened! Congratulations, host, you have obtained the divine recipe—"The Record of Desserts Across the Myriad Realms"!]

A Chronicle of Desserts Across Myriad Realms?

Lin Mo was taken aback.

What is that? A dessert?

He had initially thought it would be blueprints for some kind of world-destroying bomb, or some secret manual of mechanical arts.

Is that all?

System, are you sure you're not mistaken?

I'm aiming to conquer the world, not to learn to be a chef at New Oriental!

[The Complete Desserts of All Realms: This book compiles the most exquisite dessert-making methods from across countless realms. The desserts created are not only incredibly delicious but also possess various miraculous effects!]

Ok?

Lin Mo raised an eyebrow.

Does it come with all sorts of amazing effects?

He immediately flipped through the glittering dessert book in his mind.

The first page.

"Wind-Chasing Osmanthus Cake: Made with top-quality glutinous rice flour, golden autumn honey osmanthus, royal jelly, bird's nest fragments... This cake is said to greatly enhance leg strength, making it possible to travel 300 miles a day!"

Page 2.

"Mighty Vajra Biscuits: Made with finely ground black bean powder, virgin milk, century-old ginseng roots, tiger bone glue... these biscuits are said to grant a temporary boost in strength, making one capable of lifting heavy objects!"

Page 3.

"Ice Heart Jade Dew Drink: Made with ice-pure lotus seeds, snow water from the Tianshan Mountains, and morning dew... After drinking, it can clear the mind and brighten the eyes, dispel fatigue, and even resist bewitching incense!"

……

Lin Mo turned the pages one by one, his eyes growing brighter with each page he read.

This is not a recipe!

This is clearly a low-budget version of a secret formula for alchemy!

And, most importantly...

In an instant, a figure that was always timid yet gentle and adorable flashed into Lin Mo's mind.

Gu Meng'er!

That little cook who loves to tinker with all kinds of pastries and dreams of becoming the world's number one pastry chef!

This book, "The Dessert Record of All Realms," is practically tailor-made for her!

Lin Mo could almost see himself holding this recipe book, teaching Gu Meng'er how to make all sorts of amazing desserts.

...Hehehe.

Just then.

A sob interrupted Lin Mo's reverie.

"Waaaaah..."

Gu Ling'er could no longer hold back.

She buried her face in the blanket and let out a whimpering cry like a small animal.

[Gu Ling'er's inner thoughts]: It's over! It's all over! This big bad guy has taken advantage of me! My extraterrestrial meteorite is gone, and so is my innocence! Waaaaah...

[Gu Ling'er's inner thoughts]: How could I be so stupid! Why did I have to believe that big bad guy, my uncle! Why did I have to wear this ghostly outfit to find him!
