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

When Xie Wenyuan returned home, he found Zhao Yue washing clothes in the yard.

Her delicate little hands rubbed back and forth, which reminded Xie Wenyuan of everything that had happened yesterday.

The effects of the low-grade antidote were still present. Zhao Yue looked up at her husband, her pretty face flushed. Xie Wenyuan couldn't help but squat down and take a sip.

"Brother Yuan, are you alright?"

Zhao Yue knew that Xie Wenyuan had gone to deal with the lumber mill, so she was quite worried about his safety, since the whole city knew how ruthless Ren Xingyuan was.

"How could I be in trouble? But you, you were completely exhausted last night, how come you're out doing laundry today?"

Zhao Yue buried her flushed face in her chest and said in an extremely soft voice:

"It's all Yuan-gege's fault, the clothes and sheets are all dirty."

Xie Wenyuan grinned wickedly as he had Zhao Yue sit on his lap, his large hands roaming over her slender waist.

"It's all my fault, it wasn't you... Don't hit me, don't hit me, it's all my fault, it's all my fault."

The two were so engrossed in their playful antics that they almost forgot they were in the yard. Luckily, they had no neighbors, so they weren't worried about being seen.

Xie Wenyuan helped Zhao Yue hang up her clothes and bed sheets, then carried her into the inner room.

"Moon, I plan to take the spiritual academy exam this year. What about you?"

Zhao Yue shook her head. The unified exam for the Spiritual Cultivation Academy required a fairly high registration fee and also involved practical combat assessments. Zhao Yue, who was not good at fighting by nature, naturally did not want to go, and that would expose her identity.

"By the way, Yue'er, when we were doing 'that' yesterday, did you feel anything?"

Zhao Yue lightly punched Xie Wenyuan. "Brother Yuan is so mean! This topic is never going to end, is it?"

"No, no, no, I'm serious. I can sense that the spiritual energy in your body is much stronger than mine. Is there something you're hiding from me?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yue shook her head and said:

"Yue'er has never hidden anything from Brother Yuan. It's just that Brother Yuan always thought Yue'er was very weak."

She closed her eyes tightly, and then an ancient zither appeared in her arms.

A golden phoenix is ​​carved on the body of this zither, its wings spread high as if about to burst out of the body; the seven strings are arranged neatly and in a staggered manner on the body.

At this moment, Zhao Yue's profile appeared in Xie Wenyuan's mind:

[Affection Target: Zhao Yue (200)]

[Cultivation Level: Intermediate Spirit Master]

[Spirit Weapon: Phoenix Harp (Celestial Artifact)]

[Cultivation Technique: Phoenix Cry Technique]

[Note: The host can merge with its spiritual energy. As the cultivation level of "Phoenix Harmony" increases, the host can sense its location and status at any time.]

Seeing that Zhao Yue was a whole realm higher than him, Xie Wenyuan couldn't help but sigh, "The royal bloodline is truly powerful."

Before Zhao Yue was able to speak, she always used the Qihuang Qin to express herself to Xie Wenyuan. After becoming Xie Wenyuan's woman yesterday, she also found that she had become more adept at controlling the Qihuang Qin.

Zhao Yue's slender fingers gently plucked the strings, and Zhao Yue's voice appeared in Xie Wenyuan's mind:

"Brother Yuan, can you hear me?"

Zhao Yue's lips did not move, and Xie Wenyuan understood that this was the effect of the Qihuang Qin.

He pulled Zhao Yue into his arms, buried his face in her soft, dark hair, and whispered:

"Moon, should we help Brother Yuan?"

"How can I help?"

"Just like yesterday, this way Brother Yuan's cultivation can improve rapidly, and he can better protect my Yue'er."

Zhao Yue nodded gently. The two were experiencing lovemaking for the first time and were unable to shake off the feeling.

------

Xie Wenyuan discovered that Zhao Yue was extremely talented in dual cultivation. After only a few times, she knew how to cultivate more efficiently.

Furthermore, she was very willing to cooperate, and she would try her best to do whatever Xie Wenyuan said, maximizing her emotional value.

However, Xie Wenyuan was too immersed in this method of cultivation, sometimes even forgetting to eat and sleep, which could be described as "asceticism".

However, the effects of the "ascetic training" were also obvious. Although he did not enter the ranks of advanced spiritualists, his spiritual energy reserves and quality were much higher than before.

However, in terms of physical fitness, Zhao Yue was much worse than Xie Wenyuan. At this moment, she could only lie on the bed shivering, and Xie Wenyuan had to do the work of making dinner.

Squatting in front of the wood-fired stove, Xie Wenyuan pondered his future path.

He had saved up several hundred taels of silver by moving timber over the past year. That would certainly be enough to live on in Renqiu City, but once the registration fee was paid and he moved to Donghai City, it might not be enough.

Then there's the Ren family. He always had a strange feeling that it was somewhat abnormal for Ren Xingyuan to build a house at the lumberyard just for pleasure, since it was too far from the Ren family home.

The timber mill's trees came from a large forest behind it, where many powerful spirit beasts lurked, and Xie Wenyuan and his group had suffered losses there.

"Sigh, this spoiled young master doesn't value other people's lives at all."

In order to deal with the Ren family's retaliation, Xie Wenyuan decided to stay home and cultivate for the time being. Once his cultivation level rose again and he had the strength to fight back, he would not hesitate to attack the Ren family.

"System, are there any new tasks?"

[It has been detected that Sun Miaoyun has a high level of affection for the host. It is recommended that the host win her over in order to improve the grade of the spirit weapon.]

"What? I just had sex with Yue'er, and you already want me to be a scumbag?"

[Can you stop making the system laugh? Putting aside the host's character, in this world, it's rare for strong people to have offspring, and it's quite normal for powerful men to have multiple partners.]

"No, do you think I'm some kind of womanizer?"

[Yes, according to the system's records, the host has many potential admirers in Renqiu City, but among all of them, only Sun Miaoran is the most suitable. It is recommended that the host let go of their mental burdens and accept their true self.]

Xie Wenyuan struggled a bit. His moral values ​​from his previous life had a great influence on him. Although he had seen many men with multiple wives since he was a child, he still had to overcome this mental hurdle first.

"Why don't we discuss it with Yue'er?"

Xie Wenyuan was talking to himself, but Zhao Yue, who had just gotten out of bed, overheard him.

"Brother Yuan, what are you discussing?"

Xie Wenyuan was startled; this girl walked without making a sound.

He looked back and saw that Zhao Yue was only wrapped in a piece of cloth. It was hot in the summer, so it wouldn't be uncomfortable to wear such clothes, and no one else could see her anyway.

"Well, it's nothing, I was just thinking that since we're in this relationship, should we burn some paper money and incense for our parents?"

Zhao Yue squatted down beside Xie Wenyuan, looking at the firewood in the stove together, lost in nostalgia.

"If Brother Yuan thinks we should go, then let's go."

Xie Wenyuan put his arm around his wife, and for a moment he didn't dare to say the system's suggestion.

After a moment of silence, Zhao Yue embraced Xie Wenyuan's head, burying it in her ample bosom.

"Brother Yuan, you've been under a lot of pressure lately. Let Yue'er heal you."

Xie Wenyuan was slightly taken aback, but then accepted his wife's understanding.
