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

In the front hall of Zhenbei Mansion, a group of women were chattering.

Worried, speculating, weeping.

They discussed it for half an hour, but still couldn't come to a conclusion.

Just then.

boom!

The front gate was suddenly kicked open.

Two heavy wooden doors slammed against the wall with a deafening roar.

A scout, covered in mud and water, rushed in and knelt down on the bluestone slab with a thud.

Water splashed all over the ground.

"Report—!"

The scout's voice was hoarse, filled with despair.

"Second Madam! Something terrible has happened!"

"Xia Jie, leading a million-strong army, has crossed the Luo River! His forces are poised to strike at the Blackwater Pass!"

Boom!

A thunderclap boomed outside the window, and a pale flash of lightning illuminated the faces of everyone in the front hall.

The lobby fell into a deathly silence; you could hear a pin drop.

House seemingly endless rain.

Lin Mo just happened to disappear at this critical juncture!

Su Qingyue's legs went weak, and she almost fell to the ground.

She grabbed Qin Ruxue's arm tightly with her other hand.

"A million-strong army... what are we going to do?"

"Great! They actually dared to come!"

Xia Man'er jumped up from the chair with a start.

He smashed the coffee table in front of him with a punch, sending wood chips flying and tea spilling all over the floor.

"I've been holding back my anger! Watch me smash them all to pieces!"

"Yes! Bomb them to death!"

Gu Ling'er waved her little fists, her big eyes full of excitement.

"No matter how many there are, blow them all to bits!"

Chu Mengyao frowned and strode to the sand table in the center of the hall.

He drew a line with his finger at the location of Luoshui and Heishui Pass.

"Don't act impulsively."

Chu Mengyao's deep voice immediately extinguished Xia Man'er and Gu Ling'er's anger.

"Xia Jie must have used the old emperor's tiger tally to transfer all the imperial guards stationed in Zhongzhou and the local troops from various prefectures."

"This is a desperate gamble, an attempt to raze our Zhenbei City to the ground."

Chu Mengyao picked up the simulation rod and tapped it a few times on the sand table.

"An army of a million, the amount of food and supplies it consumes every day is astronomical."

"The fact that Xia Jie dared to come shows that he brought ample supplies and was prepared for a protracted war."

"Moreover, the Central Plains Imperial Guard is well-equipped, far superior to those scattered soldiers. In a head-on confrontation, we would definitely suffer losses."

Chu Mengyao threw down the deduction lever and looked at Qin Ruxue.

"Second sister, the enemy outnumbers us, this battle will be difficult."

Qin Ruxue stood up and strode to the sand table.

She stared at the terrain of Heishui Pass, her mind racing with calculations.

The current strength of the Zhenbei Army consists of 100,000 Xuanjia Army soldiers and 50,000 Zhenbei Heavy Cavalry.

In addition, there are the newly trained recruits of the Mountain-Shaking Army and the veterans who stayed behind at Blackwater Pass.

At most 200,000.

Two hundred thousand versus one million.

The disparity in troop strength is five times that of the enemy.

If Lin Mo were here, he would definitely cause some kind of trouble, or simply crush them with his abnormally high combat power.

But Lin Mo isn't here now.

Qin Ruxue felt empty inside, as if she had suddenly lost her pillar of support.

The sense of security that Lin Mo had always provided, which she had always felt under his protection, was instantly ripped away.

But she couldn't panic.

She was the commander of the Zhenbei Army.

"We can't worry about that now."

Qin Ruxue turned around and placed her hand on the hilt of the sword at her waist.

"Pass on the order!"

"Assemble the Xuanjia Army, the Zhenbei Heavy Cavalry, and the Hanshan Army! All soldiers capable of wielding weapons, march towards Blackwater Pass!"

"We must never allow Xia Jie's army to set foot on the northern border!"

"promise!"

The messenger outside the door answered loudly and turned to rush into the rain.

"I'm going too!"

Xia Man'er picked up the heavy hammer beside her and carried it on her shoulder.

"And me!"

Gu Ling'er patted the storage bag at her waist.

"I'm bringing the Explosive Gang along, let them taste what 'Boom Boom Boom' really means!"

Chu Mengyao stood up and straightened her clothes.

"Leave the logistics, supplies, and provisions to me; I will go with the army."

"Warfare is all about money and supplies; we must never let our soldiers on the front lines fight on empty stomachs."

Qin Ruxue nodded, her gaze sweeping over the remaining women.

"Eldest sister, Yiyi, Fengniang, I'm entrusting Zhenbei City to you."

Liu Yiyi closed her fan and nodded solemnly.

"Second sister, don't worry, we'll take care of everything in the city."

Fengniang stepped forward.

"I'll immediately send more people and expand the search area. Even if we have to turn the entire northern border upside down, we'll find my husband!"

Qin Ruxue sheathed her longsword and strode out of the front hall.

"Let's march!"

……

The rain was still falling lightly.

At the bottom of the Valley of Broken Souls, inside a natural karst cave.

The luminous blue light of the pearl shone on the stone platform.

"Hmm~"

A long, seductive moan echoed through the empty cave.

The last syllable trembled, revealing a soft, yielding quality squeezed from between the femoral head bones.

Yu Ji's body went limp, like a water snake without bones, and she slid off Lin Mo.

She collapsed to the side, panting heavily.

Her two incredibly full breasts heaved violently, as if they might break free from the meager amount of fabric at any moment.

Two days have passed in the blink of an eye.

For the past two days and two nights, there hasn't been a moment of peace on this flat boulder.

Yu Ji's alluring queen outfit was now a terrible sight to behold.

The thin, sheer black veil was torn in several places, barely hanging on her rounded, fragrant shoulders.

Large swaths of dazzling, snow-white skin were exposed to the air, covered with shocking red marks.

Those sheer black stockings, as thin as cicada wings, had slipped down from the top of her thigh to her knee on the right leg.

The thin black straps at the top of the stockings dug into the soft flesh.

The left leg had a long gash torn open, revealing the smooth, white skin underneath.

The little wings on its back had long since tilted to one side.

The long black tail with a heart-shaped decoration hung forlornly at the edge of the stone platform, swaying slightly with her panting.

Yu Ji's cheeks were flushed crimson, and her peach blossom eyes were shimmering with tears.

She rolled over, her fair arms wrapping around Lin Mo's neck.

Two long legs wrapped in tattered black stockings were tightly wrapped around Lin Mo's waist like vines.

He stuck himself on it perfectly.

His eyes were filled with fascination; there was no trace of grievance or resentment left.

She has only one thought in her mind right now.

I've struck gold!

This is truly a treasure!

These past two days and two nights of relentless cultivation almost broke her apart.

But the benefits she received made her want to scream.

She tried to mobilize the true energy within her dantian.

The golden core that was on the verge of breaking in the dantian is now not only free of cracks, but its surface is even shimmering with a dark golden luster!

His cultivation level has steadily remained at the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm!

Her meridians were repeatedly washed and widened by the chaotic true essence, making them a hundred times more resilient than in her prime.

If it weren't for the fact that the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in this mortal world is so thin, limiting the conversion efficiency of dual cultivation, then...

She was even confident that she could use this chaotic true essence to rush back to the late stage of the Golden Core realm, and even reunite her Nascent Soul!

Screw that damn scumbag!

To hell with the vow to kill all the faithless men in the world!

Is there anything more important in this world than cultivating together with the man in front of you?

No!

Yu Ji has now fully come to terms with reality.

What dignity, what pride?

Nothing matters compared to a genuine surge in cultivation and ultimate pleasure!

All she wants now is to cling to this powerful figure and become a qualified little furnace!
