Many children, many blessings; the twelve ancestral witches forced marriages throughout the primordi

The space behind the artificial hill suddenly twisted violently, as if a rag had been ripped open with extreme force.

"Oh my god! Dad, you can't take a joke! Why are you just using your spatial abilities to grab people?!"

With two screams, a large hole tore open in the air behind the artificial hill. Two small figures, head down and feet up, were firmly restrained by an extremely domineering spatial force, hanging upside down in mid-air, swaying and floating to Lin Xuan's side.

It was Lin Dasheng and Lin Yan.

The two mischievous kids were hanging upside down, their faces flushed, desperately trying to suppress their laughter.

In Lin Dasheng's small hand, covered in golden down, he was still tightly gripping a top-grade, ten-thousand-year-old wolf-hair brush, the tip dripping with the finest cinnabar ink. Meanwhile, a bunch of modified, discarded monster-attracting talismans that he had modified fell out of Lin Yan's pocket and scattered all over the ground.

"Caught red-handed, the evidence is irrefutable." Lin Xuan crossed his arms, looking down at the two little bastards hanging in mid-air, his tone icy cold. "Speak, have you forgotten all the rules I taught you? You even betray your own family?"

Upon seeing these two little devils, Gonggong's raging anger, which was about to explode, instantly deflated as if doused with a bucket of ice water.

Although he's a hot-tempered guy who doesn't think straight, he's not stupid.

This Lin Dasheng is a ruthless character who once smashed a saint's hand bone with his golden cudgel, and that kid Lin Yan is an even more monstrous one who will unleash the Chaotic Red Lotus Karmic Fire at the slightest provocation.

As an ancestral witch, he could usually boast a bit because of his seniority, but if it really came down to a fight, these two little kids could break through his proud defenses with just one move each.

"So it's you two little devils..." Gonggong said with a mournful face, wanting to scold but not daring to, and could only look at Lin Xuan pitifully, "Thirteenth brother, this... this counts as a work injury, right? You have to do something about it."

Hanging in mid-air, Lin Dasheng, oblivious to his impending doom, twisted his body and stubbornly argued, "Dad, you can't blame us! We're helping Uncle Liu with his desensitization training! Think about it, if we ever get surrounded by a demon army on the battlefield, Uncle Liu's escape speed has definitely improved several levels after this drill of being chased by tens of thousands of walruses! This is brilliant military strategy, this is real combat training!"

Lin Yan, even more self-righteous, crossed his arms and exuded an imposing aura despite being hung upside down: "Exactly! Besides, that talisman is the 'Sea Beast Hormone Burst Version' that I just developed. I need a live test subject, right? Uncle Liu is strong, thick-skinned, and fast—he's practically the ultimate guinea pig for real-world combat testing in the primordial world!"

These two little rascals, instead of showing any remorse, tried to justify their actions by claiming they were conducting academic research and practical exercises. The female immortals nearby couldn't help but burst out laughing.

The Holy Mother of Wudang laughed until she wiped away tears: "These two clowns are practically carbon copies of you, Thirteenth Brother. They can even spout such sophistry and fallacies so easily."

Upon hearing these words, Gonggong was so enraged that he was said to have been born and ascended to heaven, but he could only shrug his neck in frustration, his face full of resentment.

"You dare talk back to me?" Lin Xuan slammed his hand on the stone table, directly interrupting their sophistry. "You conducted a live-fire exercise, making Uncle Liu run barefoot for tens of thousands of miles, ruining the family's reputation! That's called having no sense of the big picture! Don't you even know what sustainable development is? You've screwed Uncle Liu over so badly today. If he hides his money from you now, where will Lin Ze and his gang from the God of Wealth Group collect their taxes?"

Upon hearing Lin Xuan's words, Gonggong, who had been looking aggrieved, froze completely. He stared wide-eyed at Lin Xuan, inwardly roaring, "Thirteenth brother, are you disciplining a child, or teaching them how to subtly and consistently fleece me?!"

Lin Xuan completely ignored Gonggong's devastated expression and directly announced an extremely cruel punishment: "Given your lack of organization and discipline, and your deliberate sabotage of internal unity, I hereby officially announce: one month's worth of top-grade spiritual food will be deducted from both of your rations! This month, you are not allowed to eat a single Huangzhong plum, nor touch a single five-needle pine fruit! As for those top-grade spiritual herbs in the backyard, if anyone dares to steal even a single one, I will throw you directly into the Chaos Array for solitary confinement!"

"What?!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Dasheng and Lin Yan let out an extremely pitiful wail. Being denied fruit was a hundred times worse than being beaten. Normally, they treated these top-grade spiritual roots, capable of extending lifespan by ten thousand years, like water and candy.

"Dad, no! Without Huangzhong plums to eat, my brain can't work, I can't think of any new formations!" Lin Yan struggled desperately, trying to fall out of the spatial confinement and grab onto his leg.

"You're to be punished by copying the Pangu Palace family rules one hundred times. If you don't hand them in before dark today, you'll continue to skip meals tomorrow." Lin Xuan showed no mercy, flipping his wrist and throwing the two of them back towards the study. Then, with a "bang," he sealed the space, welding the study door shut.

After dealing with the two troublemakers, Lin Xuan turned his head and looked at Gonggong, who was still bewildered in the wind.

Looking at his sixth brother's pitiful state, barefoot and soaking wet, he felt a little guilty. After all, they were family, and it was really tough to be tricked every day.

Lin Xuan casually reached into the void and pulled out an extremely exquisite mutton-fat jade bottle from a corner of the system's storage.

As soon as the bottle was taken out, a rich, almost tangible, water-based fragrance instantly filled the entire courtyard.

"Alright, stop feeling aggrieved. How old are you? Don't argue with a child." Lin Xuan casually tossed the jade bottle over. "This contains three drops of purified, top-grade [Taiyin Origin Liquid], plus the essence of the Sea-Stabilizing Divine Crystal I extracted from the East Sea Abyss, refined into 'Sea God Jade Bone Water.' Take this back and use it for a bath; it will not only replenish the energy and blood you lost earlier, but also elevate your Water Law to a whole new level."

Gonggong hurriedly caught the jade bottle, sniffed, and smelled the top-grade primal aura. His bull-like eyes widened instantly, becoming bigger than copper bells.
