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

A strong smell of gunpowder filled the air.

Su Qingyue stood there, stunned.

Bai Zhi's eyes widened.

Feng Niang raised her eyebrows slightly.

Liu Yiyi's hand gripping the umbrella handle tightened suddenly, her knuckles turning white.

All eyes turned past Lin Mo and fixed on Yu Ji behind him.

A purple gauze skirt with a slit that goes up to the upper thigh.

barefoot.

Golden bell.

This is practically like having the word "vixen" plastered on their forehead!

War is imminent.

"My lord, who is this—"

Su Qingyue was the first to break the silence.

She stepped forward and tugged at Lin Mo's sleeve.

His tone was gentle, yet it carried a chilling sense of oppression.

Lin Mo's mind was buzzing.

How do you explain this?

She's said to be the sect leader of the Heartless Sect?

He said that he had spent the past two days and two nights in Duanhun Valley having in-depth exchanges with her and attending dozens of practical lessons.

Then the Zhenbei Prefecture can hold the banquet tomorrow.

The entire household ate at his banquet.

Lin Mo's brain was working at high speed, and the CPO was almost burning up.

Suddenly, he slapped his thigh hard.

Snapped!

The crisp sound startled everyone.

"Oh! This one..."

Lin Mo raised his voice, strode over to Yu Ji, grabbed her wrist, and pulled her forcefully into the main hall.

Yu Ji was pulled and staggered, the golden bell on her right ankle making a series of rapid, crisp sounds.

Ding-dong. Ding-dong.

"Come on in! Don't stand outside in the rain! Come inside!"

Lin Mo yelled at the top of his lungs, trying to cover up his guilt with the volume.

"Let me proudly introduce you!"

The women looked at each other in bewilderment.

Liu Yiyi snorted coldly, put away her oil-paper umbrella, and followed him into the main hall with graceful steps.

Su Qingyue, Feng Niang, and the others followed inside, filled with suspicion.

Inside the main hall.

Lin Mo helped Yu Ji sit down in the armchair, then walked to the center of the hall and cleared his throat.

"Ladies! Let me introduce you to this... the fairy I've invited to aid me in this battle!"

Lin Mo straightened his chest and spoke with a resounding voice.

The main hall was silent for a full three seconds.

"A fairy?"

The women looked at each other.

They spoke in unison, their voices filled with obvious questions.

Feng Niang chuckled softly, her gaze sweeping over Yu Ji's exposed white legs without uttering a word.

Liu Yiyi's eyes darted around, her hand fanning herself rapidly, her expression full of suspicion.

"Yes! A fairy!"

Ignoring the doubtful looks from everyone, Lin Mo gritted his teeth and continued making things up.

"These past two days, I've suddenly had an epiphany! I've realized there's a major crisis looming over Zhenbei City!"

"So he traveled through the vast emptiness, enduring countless hardships, and finally, on a secluded immortal mountain, he managed to invite this great master who was proficient in immortal arts!"

Lin Mo turned to the side, grabbed Yu Ji's wrist, and pulled her to his side.

"Don't let her casual attire fool you. This alluring and seductive style is all the rage in the cultivation world right now! And she's a genuine cultivator!"

With his back to the women, Lin Mo frantically gave Yu Ji meaningful glances, his eyelids practically twitching.

Yu Ji rolled her eyes inwardly as she watched Lin Mo's eyes twitch.

This little furnace is really full of nonsense.

Wandering in the void?

Hidden Immortal Mountain?

They clearly held me down on a rock and squeezed me dry for two days and two nights!

But she dared not expose him, as her current cultivation level depended entirely on Lin Mo's generosity, and she had to cooperate.

Yu Ji straightened her back; after all, she had been the sect leader of the Heartless Sect, so she could easily project that kind of aura.

She placed her hands together in front of her lower abdomen and nodded slightly.

His purple eyes swept over the women present, adopting a haughty and compassionate demeanor.

"This is Yu Ji."

Yu Ji's voice was clear and melodious, yet it carried an air of aloofness, as if she were untouched by worldly affairs.

"Invited by Young Master Lin, I have come to help Zhenbei City overcome this calamity."

If we ignore her indecent purple gauze dress.

If you ignore the two snow-white mounds on her chest that sway violently with her breathing.

If you ignore the glimpse of her inner thighs...

These words do indeed have a touch of otherworldly elegance.

Unfortunately, the hardware is terrible.

Liu Yiyi sneered and snapped her fan shut.

She stepped forward with graceful steps. Holding a round fan, she slowly circled Yu Ji once.

His gaze swept over Yu Ji like a knife.

"A fairy?"

Liu Yiyi stretched out her fan and pointed precisely at a red mark on the inside of Yu Ji's thigh.

"Are those marks on the fairy's legs also part of the alluring and seductive style of the cultivation world?"

Lin Mo's heart skipped a beat.

Damn it! That was too hasty!

I messed around on the boulder too much last night, and the marks haven't faded yet!

"Cough cough cough!"

Lin Mo coughed loudly, forcibly changing the subject.

"Hey, a million-strong army is at the city gates, and we're still discussing clothing styles and mosquito bites? Is that appropriate?"

Lin Mo grabbed Yu Ji's shoulder and walked out with a righteous air.

"Time is of the essence! We need reinforcements immediately, Fairy. Let's hurry to Blackwater Pass to support Ruxue and the others."

"etc!"

Fengniang took a step to the side and stood firmly in the center of the front hall entrance.

"My husband."

Fengniang pointed to Yuji's bare feet.

"A fairy goes out to help in battle, without even wearing shoes?"

Lin Mo paused, looking down at Yu Ji's ten round and adorable toes.

Those who cultivate immortality value being grounded in reality!

Lin Mo shoved Feng Niang's arm away and dragged Yu Ji into the courtyard.

"How can I absorb the essence of the sun and moon if I'm not connected to the earth! I'm leaving!"

"etc!"

Another delicate shout rang out.

Lin Mo paused again just as he stepped out the door.

"What's wrong now! When will this ever end?!"

Lin Mo had just turned around.

A fair hand suddenly grabbed his arm, and a strong force struck him.

Lin Mo was dragged directly to the screen in the corner of the front hall.

Liu Yiyi released her grip, abandoning her alluring and seductive demeanor, and her expression became serious.

"Lin Mo, this is an urgent matter, not a time for child's play."

Liu Yiyi lowered her voice, her gaze fixed intently on Lin Mo's eyes.

"Tell me honestly, what exactly happened? Where have you been these past two days?"

Liu Yiyi's gaze passed over the screen and fell upon Yu Ji, who stood at the door looking bewildered.

"That woman's smell, and the way she walked—did she think I was a three-year-old?"

Liu Yiyi snorted coldly.

"Have you gotten yourself into some romantic entanglements again?"

Lin Mo looked at Liu Yiyi's serious face.

This woman usually looks like a vixen, but she's more clear-headed than anyone else when it matters. She's not the head steward of Zhenbei Prefecture's assets for nothing.

It seems that we have no choice but to give an explanation.

However, everyone's concerns are reasonable.

After all, with Xia Jie's army pressing in, and him bringing back a strange woman at this critical juncture, anyone would be anxious.

"It's a long story."

Lin Mo placed his hands on Liu Yiyi's shoulders.

"But don't worry, she is indeed a cultivator, and she is very powerful."

"With her by his side, Xia Jie's million-strong army could not cause any trouble."

Lin Mo paused, his tone softening.

"Once this battle is over and everything has settled down, I'll tell you everything, word for word, please?"

Liu Yiyi stared at Lin Mo for a full ten seconds.

Lin Mo's gaze was open and honest, without the slightest hesitation.

Liu Yiyi's tense shoulders slowly relaxed, and all her unspoken words finally turned into a helpless sigh.

The secrets about her man were piling up, to the point that she couldn't make heads or tails of them.

But this man always protected them, and that was enough.

Liu Yiyi raised her hand and straightened Lin Mo's slightly disheveled collar.

Be careful. We're waiting for you to come back.

"Don't worry. I'm very resilient."

Lin Mo patted Liu Yiyi's hand and turned to walk out from behind the screen.
