In a chaotic world, border soldiers begin their journey by enlisting in the army and getting married

After listening to Chen Shan's words!

The three women who were eating porridge with their heads down reacted in different ways!

"Xiaoya was born a criminal; to be taken in by the young master... no, my husband, and given a way to live, is already a great blessing!"

"Don't worry, my lord, Xiaoya will never cause you any more trouble!"

The youngest one put down his chopsticks first and said to Chen Shan with a humble expression.

As she spoke, she glanced at Chen Shan cautiously several times, looking very insecure!

Upon hearing this!

Chen Shan nodded!

Wang Xiaoya's words are indeed correct, especially for pampered girls like them!

If I hadn't chosen them, I probably wouldn't have survived long in this chaotic world!

After all, with their emaciated bodies, they simply couldn't make it to the next village!

Although in their eyes, Chen Shan might be a bit overconfident, or even lustful!

But in the end, they were given a way to survive!

"Don't be nervous, just sit down and enjoy your porridge!"

Seeing that Wang Xiaoya remained standing after finishing speaking, Chen Shan raised his hand and made a downward gesture, saying, "Also, there's no such thing as causing trouble. In this chaotic world where human life is as insignificant as ants, since we've become family, we must work together to find a way to survive!"

As Chen Shan said this, a hint of tenderness appeared in his eyes!

With these three women joining me, I finally have a new home in this world!

"Yes, my lord!"

A hint of joy appeared on Wang Xiaoya's face!

Since her family business was destroyed, almost every man she has met has beaten and verbally abused her!

Chen Shan is so gentle!

[Wang Xiaoya, favorability increased by 10!]

Current Affection Level: 10 (Slightly Favorable)

A notification message also appeared in Chen Shan's field of vision!

Ok? ? ?

I only said a few comforting words!

Does this increase favorability?

Just then!

"I, Xiao Ningning, have practiced martial arts since childhood and am confident in my abilities. Rest assured, now that I'm following you, even if I'm unwilling, I will not disobey your orders in the slightest. I won't eat this bowl of porridge for nothing!"

The tall woman with a burlap sack on her head spoke up!

She was somewhat stubborn, and her words carried a hint of defiance. Her tone was more like a soldier addressing a general than a husband!

He's still that kind of troublemaker!

"In this chaotic world, for a woman to have learned martial arts from a young age suggests that this woman has some kind of background!"

Chen Shan nodded to himself.

But in his eyes!

Xiao Ningning looked more like a newly adopted stray kitten, breathing on him.

Looking at Xiao Ningning, who resembled a wildcat, Chen Shan found it quite amusing.

When Wang Xiaoya heard that Xiao Ningning knew martial arts, her eyes lit up and she showed an envious expression.

"You'll be in charge of chopping firewood around the house later. You can earn your living and food in return for your labor. What do you say?"

Chen Shan spoke calmly.

[Xiao Ningning's favorability +10!]

Current Affection Level: 10 (Slightly Favorable)

"Chopping wood? Leave it to me!"

Despite being assigned a physically demanding task, Xiao Ningning showed no dissatisfaction whatsoever. Instead, she picked up the remaining porridge and drank it all in one go!

He also seemed more confident.

Seeing this!

The third woman, who also received the highest score of 95 points among the three, had her eyes slightly flickering as she seemed to be deep in thought.

Just then, Chen Shan turned his head and looked at her!

"I am Chu Yiren. Just now, I noticed that your family is poor, yet you spoke with such composure. Could it be that your family also experienced a period of decline?"

Before Chen Shan could speak, Chu Yiren spoke softly and gently.

The phrase "also once" seems to imply that Chu Yiren herself has a family history.

At the same time, she was the only one among the three women to take the initiative to ask Chen Shan a question.

"My family has been poor farmers for three generations. If it weren't for the imperial court conscripting soldiers and providing wives, we might not even be able to find a wife now."

Chen Shan casually revealed his identity and background!

This made Chu Yiren's surprise even more pronounced.

In today's world, family background is often the primary factor in judging a person.

Even if you come from a poor family, being from a humble background often makes people look at you with more respect.

Conversely, if one's family background is that of tenant farmers or merchants, their social status is naturally lower.

Chu Yiren hinted at her extraordinary family background!

This was partly the reason; she wanted to improve her standing in Chen Shan's eyes.

But Chen Shan spoke openly about his family background!

There was absolutely no sign of anything unusual or shyness!

How could this not surprise Chu Yiren?

"You don't need to be so wary. No matter what your identities were before, you will both be my women from now on!"

"I swear on my life that as long as I live, I will never let you suffer even the slightest bit!"

Chen Shan patted his chest and said firmly.

How could Chen Shan not see through Chu Yiren's little scheme?

It's simply because I'm worried that I'll see them as a burden!

And these words!

This immediately drew the attention of the three women!

Even Liu Ruyu smiled upon hearing this; she felt at ease following a man like Chen Shan!

[Wang Xiaoya's favorability +10.]

Current affinity level: 20 (quite close)

[Xiao Ningning's favorability +10.]

[Current Affection Level: 20 (Quite Close)]

Chu Yiren blinked her beautiful eyes, her pupils reflecting Chen Shan's face, and she couldn't help but feel surprised and curious.

"Is this man truly from three generations of poor farmers? Why is his knowledge and speech so extraordinary? Even those scions of noble families, if they fell into the same predicament, would probably be less than a tenth as well-off as him."

"I thought I had fallen so low that there was no hope left in this life, but now it seems that my husband is quite extraordinary."

"Things might still turn around! Ye, you schemed against me with all your might, but you were outmaneuvered! One day, I will return to the capital and expose your true colors before Father!"

Thinking like this!

Chu Yiren rose and gave Chen Shan a graceful bow, saying softly:

"My husband is exceptional, and I am willing to serve him, offer advice and strategies, and work together to build a great career."

[Chu Yiren's favorability +30]

Current favorability rating: 30 (genuine trust)

Chen Shan was completely bewildered!

These three women are all so distinctive.

Wang Xiaoya is like a maid, Xiao Ningning is a troublemaker, and what about Chu Yiren?

It's like a strategist defecting to his lord!

However, seeing the three women's favorability rating gradually increase, Chen Shan also became somewhat excited!

Now, we can finally take them in as family members!

"System, recruit these three women as members of my family!"

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have successfully recruited Wang Xiaoya as your second member of the opposite sex in your family, advancing the main storyline!]

[Receive a special reward!]

[Congratulations! You have received the reward: Modern Composite Bow x1, Arrows x50!]

A system notification sounded in Chen Shan's mind!

Inside its storage space, there was a modern-style carbon fiber longbow and 50 arrows stacked together.

Chen Shan remained outwardly calm, but inwardly he was overjoyed.

They actually rewarded me with a composite bow!

This is the king of arrows, with absolute power and kinetic energy!

A composite bow is more than enough to hunt rhinoceroses and elephants!

Deep in the mountains where they live!

The most powerful wild animals are nothing more than tigers, black bears, and wild boars!

With the power of the composite bow, dealing with it would be no problem at all.

Moreover, I possess immense strength and master-level hunter talent!

Hunting wild animals was already a piece of cake, and now with this powerful weapon, it's even easier!

They've gained this powerful tool by recruiting just one new member; I wonder what the reward will be when they recruit the other two women?!
