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

Lin Mo led Bai Zhi out of the bedroom and headed out of the mansion.

The two walked through the corridor one after the other, preparing to leave the mansion, when they bumped into the energetic Qin Ruxue.

"Move those sentry posts outwards by ten paces!"

"Double the number of hidden sentries on the city walls! Be on your guard!"

Qin Ruxue stood with her hands on her hips, directing several of her personal guards to deploy defenses.

When he turned around, he saw Lin Mo leading a strange woman over.

Qin Ruxue stopped moving.

She looked Bai Zhi up and down, her brows furrowed slightly, her eyes filled with scrutiny and wariness.

Who is this woman?

When did you enter the mansion?

The aura emanating from him... it feels so familiar.

"who is she?"

Qin Ruxue stepped forward to stop the two, her hand already on the hilt of her sword.

"she is……"

Before Lin Mo could speak, Bai Zhi behind him moved first.

She took a small step forward, bowed respectfully to Qin Ruxue, and spoke in a soft, gentle voice.

"Sister, I was rash yesterday and offended you greatly. Please don't take it to heart."

Qin Ruxue was stunned.

Why does that voice sound so familiar?

And those eyes, that nose, that little mouth, why do they look so familiar?

Qin Ruxue's brain froze for a full three seconds before she suddenly realized what was happening.

"You...you're that...that beggar from yesterday?"

"I'm not a beggar!"

Bai Zhi muttered a protest in a low voice.

However, Qin Ruxue ignored her completely. She grabbed Bai Zhi's shoulders and looked her up and down carefully.

From her flawless face to Wang Mei's curves, which even her black outfit couldn't conceal, her eyes were filled with the shock of having her worldview redefined.

After watching for a long time, Bai Zhi became a little uncomfortable, and Qin Ruxue suddenly turned around and grabbed Lin Mo's arm.

"What...what did you do to her?"

Lin Mo was completely confused: "What? What's wrong?"

"What I mean is..."

Qin Ruxue lowered her voice, as if she were sharing some earth-shattering secret.

"Have you mastered some incredible magic again? You know, the kind that... can transform someone completely, making them beautiful in an instant?"

It's amazing how she instantly became beautiful!

Do you think this is a character customization game?

However, before Lin Mo could even complain, Qin Ruxue's eyes lit up.

She looked at Lin Mo with anticipation and even started to make requests of him.

"Um... could you do it for me too?"

As she spoke, she felt it wasn't intuitive enough, so she lifted her long, straight legs and waved them in front of Lin Mo, looking distressed.

"Look, I feel like my legs have gotten thicker from all the daily workouts lately, and they don't look good at all."

"Could you make it thinner for me, and preferably a few centimeters longer?"

Lin Mo's lips began to twitch.

Hey lady, your legs are almost up to my waist! Are you going to walk the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show if they get any longer?

However, Qin Ruxue's bizarre demands were not yet over.

She puffed out her already impressive chest again, her brows furrowing even more deeply.

"And this part, could you make it smaller for me?"

"It's too big, really, it really affects the smoothness of my sword drawing."

"Sometimes when I run, it wobbles a bit, and the armor is uncomfortable."

As she spoke, she leaned forward, as if to show Lin Mo just how inconvenient this "burden" really was.

Lin Mo felt his rationality was being challenged like never before.

What kind of magical brain circuit is this?

Other women are thinking about how to get bigger, but you're eager to shrink?

Is this some kind of legendary reverse involution?

Besides, this is my child's future food supply. If it shrinks, what will happen if my child doesn't have enough to eat?

Looking at Qin Ruxue's sincere expression that seemed to say, "I'm so troubled, please help me," Lin Mo felt a lump in his throat and almost had a stroke on the spot.

"cough!"

Lin Mo cleared his throat and decisively found a reason to extinguish Qin Ruxue's rebellious idea.

"This immortal technique... is extremely expensive to use, and the materials are rare, so it can only be used once every ten years."

"Oh? I see..."

Upon hearing this, Qin Ruxue's face showed visible disappointment.

"Oh, right! Nannan is still asleep in the room. She'll probably wake up soon. She'll be scared if she doesn't see her mother when she wakes up."

Lin Mo quickly changed the subject, pointing towards the bedroom.

"Could you keep an eye on things for me while I take Baizhi somewhere?"

After saying that, before Qin Ruxue could make any more outrageous demands, he grabbed Bai Zhi, who was still frozen in shock, and slipped away.

……

Lin Mo pulled Bai Zhi along, walking quickly down the main street of Tiebiguan.

Bai Zhi's hand was held in his grasp, her palms were burning, her cheeks were burning, and her mind was still filled with Qin Ruxue's shocking remarks.

So... is this kind of person Sister Qin?

Lin Mo sighed inwardly.

One was stubbornly determined to repay a debt of gratitude with his body, while the other actually wanted to have plastic surgery in the opposite direction.

Where exactly did my family's values ​​begin to go astray?

The two soon arrived in front of a majestic building.

【Zhenwu Division】

A black plaque hangs above the entrance.

The three large characters, written in bold, powerful strokes, exude a chilling, murderous aura.

"This is..."

Bai Zhi looked at the plaque and spoke with some uncertainty.

"Your office."

Lin Mo led her inside.

Inside the Zhenwu Division, the main colors remain black and iron.

The bluestone floor was spotless, and the walls were adorned with standard-issue black iron swords and crossbows, arranged in neat rows.

There are no superfluous decorations here; every corner exudes a sense of functional order.

After passing through the training ground and the archives, Lin Mo led Bai Zhi to the most spacious hall.

This will be her office from now on.

Apart from a large black wooden desk and a few chairs in the center, the room was empty, which made it appear even more imposing.

Seeing Bai Zhi's somewhat helpless expression, Lin Mo felt it was necessary to let her familiarize herself with her future team in advance.

On a whim, he brought up the system panel.

[Commander: Bai Zhi, you are in position.]

[Activate the Zhenwu Division's core function "Shadow" to summon the special unit "Shadow Guard"?]

"call."

[Domination Points - 10000]

A crisp notification sound rang out, and then the shadows in the four corners of the hall seemed to come alive.

Silently.

Twenty dark figures emerged from the darkness in the corner of the wall, like drops of ink falling into water, quietly coalescing into shape.

They knelt on one knee, their movements perfectly synchronized, as if they were all cut from the same mold.

These people wore close-fitting dark gray outfits of unknown material that blended perfectly into any shadow.

They wore black masks that covered their mouths and noses, revealing only pairs of emotionless eyes.

They didn't have any obvious weapons on them, but Lin Mo knew that these people had various sharp weapons hidden in their sleeves, boots, and belts, enough to take a person's life.

"Shadow Guard, greetings, my lord."

The voices of the twenty people merged into one, low, flat, and without any inflection.

"ah!"

Bai Zhi was so frightened by the twenty "ghosts" that appeared out of nowhere that she trembled all over and instinctively grabbed Lin Mo's arm tightly, pressing her whole body against it.

Lin Mo could feel the stiffness and trembling in her body.

That makes sense. Someone who has been hunted down for so many years would probably have PTSD from this kind of aura lurking in the shadows.

He patted Bai Zhi's hand on the back.

"Don't be afraid, we're on the same side."
