Immortal Martial Arts Son-in-Law: Having Too Many Wives Isn't My Fault

Chen Hao has 89 days left to live.

Today is the day he married his fourth wife.

The first three didn't even last a year; they died.

Others say he's a cursed loner, destined to bring misfortune to his wife.

Only he knew that what killed them was the thing inside his body.

[You have been bound to the "Wife-Killing System." For every mortal woman you marry, she will die suddenly within a year.]

The curse can only be broken by marrying a woman with spiritual roots.

[Host's remaining lifespan: 89 days. Please find a spiritual partner as soon as possible.]

......

On this day, a strange thing happened at the Su family in Qingzhu Mountain.

Chen Hao, the old caretaker of the Su family, is getting married again.

This is his fourth wife.

The first three wives all died suddenly within a year of marriage.

Amidst the gossip and whispers, Chen Hao pretended not to hear them.

At this moment, he was standing at the gate of his own courtyard, watching the fourth bride emerge from the bridal sedan chair.

The girl lowered her head, her body trembling slightly. Her thick red wedding dress covered her snow-white body, and her snow-white breasts, straight and slender legs, and full, plump buttocks could still be seen.

However, Chen Hao frowned.

It's not because she's beautiful.

Instead.

[Ding! Current objective: No spiritual root. The host will not receive any rewards. As punishment, the host will have 89 days to live.]

The cold, mechanical voice in my mind rang out again.

That's not right either.

Chen Hao clenched his fists.

In his early years, he was devoted to seeking the Dao, but lacked a lineage of cultivation. By chance, he obtained a fragmented method.

Unexpectedly, this harmed his body and left him with a chronic illness. Later, he became a disciple of the Su family of Qingzhu Mountain, hoping to rely on the Su family's methods to cure himself.

However, the Su family never paid attention to his injuries, and his condition did not improve. He now only has 89 days left to live.

Just when he thought his life was over.

A year ago, a "marriage and childbirth system" suddenly appeared in my mind.

Marrying a woman with spiritual roots will grant you various rewards.

Conversely, there is a system that brings misfortune to one's spouse, ensuring the other party's death within a year.

Women with spiritual roots are one in ten thousand.

In the past year, he married three women, all of whom were mortals without spiritual roots, and all of them died suddenly.

The fourth one is still a mortal.

Chen Hao looked at the timid girl in front of him, then touched his empty purse, his face full of worry.

How long can he hold on to the old wounds in his lungs?

After eighty-nine days, dust will return to dust, and ashes to ashes.

"I must find another way. I am getting old and don't have much time to waste. This method is not only unlikely to grant immortality, but also carries significant hidden dangers..."

"So what if you're a time traveler? Just because you've read a few books and articles doesn't mean you can live a life of great success after time travel."

"Little did they know that life is difficult, and knowing is easy but doing is hard. Everything in the world is far from as simple as one imagines."

He sighed inwardly.

However, the next moment, he seemed to have thought of something, and a glimmer of light appeared in his eyes.

He remembered that before, this cheat code didn't have a detection function.

The cost of spiritual root testing is too high; only families or sects can conduct the test.

He can only select a few suitable partners, marry them, and then observe them gradually.

Now, they're even proactively suggesting whether the other person has spiritual roots. If so, the road ahead will be much easier.

Just as Chen Hao was pondering.

Just now.

Suddenly, a series of hurried footsteps came from outside the cave.

"Head Guard Chen, Madam Su has ordered all middle-aged guards to gather in the front hall for a meeting. Please proceed immediately!"

Chen Hao was slightly taken aback, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes.

The Su family is one of the three major families of Qingzhu Mountain, and also a powerful clan with a Foundation Establishment cultivator in charge.

It has declined somewhat in recent years.

It was already rare for the guards to convene a meeting.

Before long, everyone gathered in the front hall.

Madam Su sat upright in the main seat.

She wore a wine-red cheongsam, her figure was full and curvaceous, and because of her slender waist, her hips appeared exceptionally large, round and perky.

At this moment, Madam Su's long, snow-white legs, wrapped in sheer stockings, were placed folded under the table.

Her long, slender, snow-white legs were straight and shapely, clad in flesh-colored stockings that covered her plump buttocks and extended all the way to her delicate feet, tightly enveloping them. Every movement exuded the languid charm and allure of a beautiful woman.

"The reason I have gathered you all here today is not because of any difficult matter, but because I have seen that you have served the Su family for many years with utmost loyalty, but due to limitations in your aptitude and resources, your cultivation has made little progress. I feel quite sorry for you."

"The Su family has many descendants, and many of the women have reached marriageable age. After much deliberation, I have decided to select a group of upright, loyal, and reliable men from among you to marry into the Su family and become my sons-in-law."

"From now on, you will all be family members of the Su family. You will receive five spirit stones as a monthly allowance. You can also receive pills and cultivation techniques according to your rank."

As soon as he finished speaking, the front hall erupted in chaos.

Five spirit stones!

For these middle-aged guards who struggled to even scrape together a few spirit stones year after year, this was undoubtedly an enormous temptation.

Chen Hao stood in the crowd, his heart pounding wildly.

Five spirit stones, plus pills and cultivation techniques!

This is exactly what he has been dreaming of!

Most importantly, the Su family has a woman with spiritual roots.

Before, he was just a guard, and he never dared to dream of climbing up to these noble ladies.

However, the Su family's Foundation Establishment Ancestor is now seriously injured, the family is in danger, and male offspring are scarce, so they urgently need male descendants to continue the family line.

Just now.

A cold, mechanical voice suddenly rang in Chen Hao's mind.

[Host: Chen Hao]

[Cultivation Level: Qi Refining Level 2]

[Constitution: The body is damaged, and the internal organs are ruptured]

[The current target, Madam Su, possesses spiritual roots and her cultivation level is far higher than the host's, making her extremely difficult to conquer.]

Chen Hao was stunned.

Mrs. Su... counts too?

"Those willing to marry into the family may step forward."

Just then, Madam Su spoke up.

Upon hearing this, some of the guards stood frozen in place, their faces flashing with complex emotions.

Although marrying into the wife's family is desirable, the son-in-law's status is ultimately not high, and any children born in the future will have to take the woman's surname.

After decades of hard work, is it all just to become a live-in son-in-law?

Some people were whispering among themselves.

"How easy is it to marry a Miss Su? I've heard that the eldest daughter, Su Qingyue, has dual spiritual roots of water and wood, and is already a cultivator at the eighth level of Qi Refining before she's even thirty."

"And the Second Miss, Su Hanyan, possesses the Xuanbing Physique and has already achieved minor mastery of the Xuanbing Technique at Qingjing Temple. She is aloof and arrogant; we are unlikely to catch her eye."

Some people are still worried.

"Although the Su family has a Foundation Establishment cultivator in charge, they have been declining in recent years. Who knows if the promised spirit stones and pills will last? What if the Su family reneges after we marry into the family? We would lose face and have no way out. Wouldn't we be losing both our face and our money?"

Chen Hao, however, was different.

He was all alone, without father or mother, without any ties or worries.

Even the name was something I randomly picked when I registered.

For him, being a son-in-law was merely a title.

Moreover, he was even more aware of the cheat system he had awakened.

It seems the fate will fall on the female members of the Su family who possess spiritual roots.

With that in mind, Chen Hao took a step forward without hesitation.

"I am happy to accept your kind offer, Madam!"

[Ding! The protagonist has taken the lead and gained the beautiful woman's favor, successfully earning 10 achievement points!]

Sure enough, Madam Su glanced at him and nodded in satisfaction.

......

"It's him!"

"Looks like Old Chen is thirsty again!"
