After maxing out my affinity, my signature weapon kept evolving.

In the evening, Xie Wenyuan returned home and felt a warm feeling in his heart as he watched the smoke rising from the chimney.

He pushed open the door and shouted:

"Moon, I'm back."

No one spoke, but he seemed used to it and slowly walked into the house.

A beautiful young woman, like a celestial being descended to earth, was sitting on the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed), mending Xie Wenyuan's clothes. Her delicate, snow-white hands were incredibly nimble; her slender fingers moved swiftly, and the needle and thread moved through the clothes like a dragon.

Since she was facing Xie Wenyuan from the side, her curvaceous figure was clearly visible. Her breasts were high and firm, her waist was slender and delicate, and the curves of her hips were faintly visible under her long black hair, which aroused endless imagination.

Even though he could admire her every day, Xie Wenyuan, who was a player of Azur Lane in his previous life, still had to say: This is the normal figure I've always dreamed of.

After mending the clothes, the girl tidied them up and placed them by the bed. Then she stood up from the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed), patted off the loose threads, and gracefully strode towards her husband who was returning home.

Xie Wenyuan held the girl in his arms, feeling her warmth and softness, and whispered in her ear:

"Moon, I have good news and bad news. The bad news is, your man lost his job."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yue gently stroked Xie Wenyuan's broad back, signaling him not to be sad. In her heart, making money was secondary; the best news was that Xie Wenyuan was safe and sound.

"The good news is that the toxins in your body can be relieved."

Zhao Yue remained unmoved, simply enjoying the man's embrace. Only in his arms could Zhao Yue feel at ease.

Xie Wenyuan's thoughts drifted back to the past as Zhao Yue's embrace lingered.

Eighteen years ago, Xie Wenyuan was reincarnated into this martial arts world. At that time, he was a young master of a large family who awakened a spiritual weapon of the immortal level, and for a time, he was unparalleled in his glory.

However, his good fortune did not last long. When he was twelve years old, he was too high-profile and was robbed of his spiritual weapon by a traitor in the family and outsiders during an outing with his parents. He became a cripple, and his parents also died as a result.

Just as he was dying, a beautiful young girl took him home and healed his wounds.

Zhao Yue's parents also adopted him. In their subsequent interactions, the adoptive parents brought the two together and arranged a marriage between them.

Unfortunately, a year ago, her adoptive parents passed away one after another. It was at this time that Xie Wenyuan learned the secret about Zhao Yue's inability to speak.

Zhao Yue is the only surviving member of the previous dynasty's royal family. She was poisoned when she was young, and it was thought that Zhao Yue would die. However, Zhao Yue's awakened spiritual weapon blocked the poison for her, which is why she only lost her voice.

But just a year ago, the toxins in Zhao Yue's body began to spread again, and now her ears and eyes are being affected.

Therefore, Xie Wenyuan tried everything he could to remove the toxins from her. But without a spiritual weapon, he was useless and powerless. Fortunately, the appearance of the system turned the tide, giving him hope of a comeback.

After embracing for a long time, Zhao Yue remembered that there was still rice cooking in the pot. So she quickly broke free from Xie Wenyuan's embrace and scooped the rice out of the pot.

After a not-so-lavish but heartwarming dinner, Xie Wenyuan took out a small porcelain bottle.

"Moon, this pill can temporarily relieve your poisoning. Try taking one first."

Zhao Yue had absolute trust in Xie Wenyuan, so she swallowed the pill in Xie Wenyuan's hand and even licked Xie Wenyuan's fingertip with her wet little tongue.

"You naughty child. How does it feel?"

Zhao Yue nodded at first, but then she felt a cool sensation in her throat.

"Yuan, Brother Yuan, Brother."

A melodious voice came from Zhao Yue's mouth, her rosy lips parted slightly, captivating Xie Wenyuan's heart.

Because Zhao Yue had been unable to speak for a long time, she could only make sounds based on her own understanding. Even so, Xie Wenyuan was still quite shocked.

"This...it's so effective? System, you're my god!"

Although I know this effect can't last, the fact that it allowed Zhao Yue to speak is divine.

Tears welled up in Zhao Yue's peach blossom eyes as she hugged Xie Wenyuan tightly again, repeating over and over:

"Thank you, Brother Yuan. Thank you, Brother Yuan."

Xie Wenyuan gently patted Zhao Yue's back. Although he was equally excited, he could not show it at all.

"Don't cry, don't cry, isn't this a good thing? If you cry and your face is all messed up, Brother Yuan will be heartbroken."

Tears soaked Xie Wenyuan's clothes, and Zhao Yue finally stopped crying.

[Detection indicates Zhao Yue's favorability has exceeded its limit. The host is rewarded with the dual cultivation technique: "Phoenix Harmony."]

"System, something's wrong with you. Is this atmosphere appropriate?"

However, the system did not respond, because Zhao Yue's actions perfectly answered for the system: quite appropriate.

Zhao Yue lifted her head from Xie Wenyuan's embrace and pressed her lips against his, catching him completely off guard with the kiss.

"Brother Yuan, no, my husband, I want to..."

Because of her shyness, Zhao Yue didn't finish her sentence, but Xie Wenyuan understood what she meant.

Although they haven't held a wedding ceremony, the two have long considered each other their partners, and now they are just one step away from taking the final step.

Xie Wenyuan had always been concerned about Zhao Yue's health and had never taken the initiative, but now that the beauty had taken the initiative, how could he refuse?

He placed Zhao Yue on the kang (a heated brick bed), gently loosened her silk robe, and laid her body horizontally.

Looking at Zhao Yueru's body, which resembled a work of divine art, Xie Wenyuan exclaimed: "I'm awesome!"

With a cry of pain, Xie Wenyuan clearly felt a spiritual energy connecting the two of them, their spiritual energies merging and becoming inseparable.

It turns out that the two of them had already learned the "Phoenix Harmony" technique the moment the system issued the reward.

But at this moment, how can we think about such things? A moment of bliss is worth a thousand pieces of gold; the most important thing now is to enjoy ourselves.

------

The next morning, looking at Zhao Yue's alluring sleeping face, Xie Wenyuan couldn't help but lower his head and kiss her.

After carefully putting away the white silk scarf adorned with a blooming blood plum blossom, Xie Wenyuan opened the system and began to examine his interface:

[Host: Xie Wenyuan]

[Lingwu: Rusty Iron Knife (Common Weapon)]

[Current term: Emerging Talent (purple)]

[Cultivation Level: Intermediate Spirit Master]

[Affection level binding target: Zhao Yue (200, Intermediate Spirit Master)]

[Technique: Phoenix Harmony]

Current task: None

[Main Quest: Gain more favorability points with women who meet the system's standards; this will allow you to evolve your Spirit Weapon.]

Looking at his own cultivation level compared to Zhao Yue's, Xie Wenyuan felt like a clown.

It turns out that Zhao Yue's cultivation level has always been higher than his; she just looks somewhat frail.

Feeling the pain in his back, Xie Wenyuan gained a clearer understanding of it.

However, Xie Wenyuan did not indulge in the pleasures of love. He comforted Zhao Yue and told her to rest for a day before going out again.

The matter at the lumber mill hasn't been fully resolved yet. If he doesn't come, Old Deng might lose his life.

Sure enough, outside the lumberyard, several horses were tied to trees, while inside the lumberyard, a noisy commotion could be heard.

"Damn it, where's that spirit master? Hand him over!"

As Xie Wenyuan entered, he heard someone calling for him, so he activated the Phoenix Cry Technique and responded loudly:

"I'm right here!"
