Fairy, please step aside, I've taken a liking to your man.

In the eyes of the wives, he was still Kato, a traveling merchant who wandered around the world. His unfamiliar identity and background were not conducive to their getting along.

Mrs. Mikami immediately cheered, clapping her hands and laughing. She turned her head to look at Shen Bai, her face showing the joy of a girl in love: "I will follow Kato-kun's instructions and open the branch office in Qiyuan City as soon as possible."

The two chatted about interesting things while drinking the fine wine that Shen Bai had brought. The spirit wine had a low alcohol content, but it was enough to make them both slightly tipsy.

"Kato-kun, you just showed me some scenes from the kitchen. I wonder if there's any special storyline that might unfold at the dining table?"

After chatting for a long time, Mrs. Mikami asked in a sweet voice.

Shen Bai laughed and said, "There are bound to be many scenarios at the dinner table, but are you planning to try them all this time? Aren't you going to leave something to look forward to next time we meet?"

Mrs. Mikami, like an elegant white cat, bent down, raised her buttocks, and slowly crawled towards Shen Bai: "I've always been very greedy."

Shen Bai waved to her helplessly, "Then come over here."

Mrs. Mikami shook her shapely buttocks and said, "Kato-kun, I have an outrageous request."

Shen Bai paused for a moment, then said, "Go ahead."

Mrs. Mikami licked her lips and made the request she had been preparing for all day: "My husband perished in the secret realm, and my family line cannot be broken."

Shen Bai was taken aback, then shook his head and laughed, "It's not that easy!"

He wasn't sure if this was Mrs. Mikami's idea after being influenced by the Soul-Bewitching Technique, or if it was Mrs. Mikami's own idea, but he knew very well that becoming a Golden Core True Person was very difficult.

Seeing that Shen Bai did not directly refuse, Mrs. Mikami's alluring voice rang out again.

"Then I'll have to trouble Kato-kun to work a little harder tonight."

……

Shen Bai is a responsible person.

He couldn't help but reward diligent employees like Mrs. Watanabe and Mrs. Kobayashi.

So these past few days, he's been like a busy little bee, getting to know each wife's family and work difficulties after widowhood, offering guidance, relieving her worries, and casually discussing philosophy with her.

His cultivation level was just one step away from reaching the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment.

It has to be said that the physiques of the wives of Jin Dan are truly amazing.

For an ordinary person, owning even one is considered extremely fortunate.

After spending a full week on East Island, Shen Bai finally left, refreshed and in high spirits, with Mrs. Mikami and others seeing him off.

But as soon as he left, he realized he was being watched.

"Looks like the company's being watched by quite a few people!"

Shen Bai didn't pay much attention to them. After changing his appearance and aura several times, he shook off these little tails and returned to the capital.

He believed that with the methods of Mrs. Mikami and others, these matters could be handled easily.

……

"A breakthrough?"

An Li sat in the courtyard of her cave dwelling. Her cultivation had reached the Great Perfection of Qi Refining, and she was only one step away from entering the Foundation Establishment stage.

She keenly sensed that Shen Bai's spirit and energy had undergone a transformation.

When he left her, he hadn't broken through yet, but he broke through after only a few days. This made her cast a suspicious glance at Bai Qingqing, who was at the Tiandan Dao Academy.

This little devil has been quite restless lately.

Previously, he only dared to come to Shen Bai to discuss philosophy when he was in class or doing tasks.

Now they even dare to come to my door right in front of me.

"Having just entered the late stage of Foundation Establishment, I plan to go to Qiyuan City to strive for the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment, and try to break through to the Golden Core stage before the end of the year."

Shen Bai knew that An Li was very attached to him, but now that they had reached a critical juncture, he had to give it his all.

He stepped forward and pulled her into his arms: "Go back and ask your uncle and aunt for their opinions, whether they have any plans to go to Qiyuan City to make a living."

"Qiyuan City?"

An Li looked at him with suspicion, but she didn't ask any more questions. The two had been through thick and thin together for so long that they had developed the deepest level of trust in each other. She believed that Shen Bai's suggestion to go to Qiyuan City must have his own plans.

"After I break through to the Foundation Establishment stage, I will go back to Jiangbei and have a good talk with my parents about this matter."

Seeing that An Li was so considerate in not asking any further questions, Shen Bai hugged her tightly and transmitted his voice, "I'll give you a surprise when we get to Qiyuan City."

An Li nodded and returned the kiss with a passionate kiss.

……

Shen Wenwen sat on the swing at the other end of the yard, pouting, looking very unhappy.

Shen Bai is getting busier and busier. He's either on missions or, like this time, going undercover, and he won't be back for months at a time.

The little girl has grown into a young woman, but her attachment to her brother has not diminished in the slightest.

I finally got back a few days ago, but then I went out again for several more days before coming back.

They were busy saying goodbye as soon as they got back.

Shen Wenwen was very unhappy.

After exchanging heartfelt words with An Li, Shen Bai walked over to Shen Wenwen's side.

"snort!"

Shen Wenwen turned her head away, refusing to look at her bad brother.

"Is Wenwen planning to get married someday?"

Shen Bai's words completely baffled the young girl.

"To marry...to get married?"

Shen Wenwen turned to look at Shen Bai in astonishment, only to see him plop down next to her and pull her into his arms.

The warmth softened Shen Wenwen's heart.

It's been so long since my brother hugged me like this.

I haven't even experienced carrying myself to and from school for a long time.

Shen Wenwen felt a rare sense of peace.

"Why are you suddenly asking this question?"

Shen Wenwen looked at An Li and Tang Xinyue and found that they had already gone inside.

Shen Bai whispered in her ear, "Brother wants to establish a family."

Shen Wenwen was suddenly startled, and a strange look flashed in her eyes.

Establishing a family is not a simple matter; it requires a spiritual lineage and a base of operations, a sustainably operating business, and strong military protection.

More importantly, there must be family tradition.

This inheritance refers not only to the techniques, but also to having a next generation.

"So early?"

Shen Bai pinched her little nose: "Brother is about to break through to the Golden Core stage!"

Shen Wenwen was stunned for a moment, then realized what was happening.

……

The stronger one's cultivation level, the more difficult it is to have offspring.

It's not that Golden Core cultivators and Nascent Soul cultivators can't have children, but rather that their power is so overwhelming that the survival rate of embryos is relatively low.

Of course, children born at the Golden Core stage or Nascent Soul stage will definitely have high talent, but it takes a long time to try and wait.

If one becomes a Nascent Soul cultivator or a Body Integration Ancestor, completely transcending the realm of mortals, conceiving is not difficult, because at this stage, cultivators have already come into contact with the aura of rules and can use some special methods.

However, reaching that level requires time, experience, opportunities, and luck that are beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Among billions of cultivators, it would be considered remarkable if even one could become a Nascent Soul cultivator.

Many of the Nascent Soul stage experts today are those who have accumulated experience over time; very few have advanced to the Nascent Soul stage in recent years.

Every time someone breaks through to the Nascent Soul stage, they will receive congratulations from all directions.

The reason why the Fusion Stage can be called the Ancestor is naturally because of its extremely high rarity.

Even among billions of people, it would be difficult to find a single ancestor who can combine their powers.

Every family with a combined ancestor is an evergreen tree.

Therefore, people who want to establish their own family usually start having children during the Qi Refining or Foundation Building stages.

The best period is undoubtedly the foundation-building stage.

Because the Foundation Establishment stage involves shedding the mortal body and forging the foundation of the Dao, female cultivators who give birth at this time will not suffer too much damage to their Dao foundation, while male cultivators' cultivation also enters a stable growth period at this time.

This stage represents the golden period for reproduction.

In the great era of cultivation, thousands of years of experience have led to this consensus.

Shen Bai's advancement in cultivation level was so rapid that people overlooked this issue.

Shen Bai hadn't paid much attention to it before, but it wasn't until he obtained the demon slaves of nine Golden Core Demon Kings that he had this idea.

It was only when he faced a situation where he had no one to rely on on Qiyuan Star that he realized the importance of his family.

Some people are born protagonists, born into large families, so they don't need to worry about carrying on the family line.

Some people are cursed by fate, their parents and relatives all die, they fight their way through life, and then they ascend to immortality.

If one person is full, the whole family is not hungry.

Shen Bai also wanted to do that, after all, he had a cheat code.

However, his hooks weren't very effective.

Because the higher you go, the harder it becomes to meet suitable female cultivators and their admirers.

Therefore, he needs to be prepared for both possibilities.

While using cheats to advance in rank, they also began to build their family and accumulate resources.

Shen Bai has always been a pragmatic person. He and Shen Wenwen had both come through the most difficult times, so when the time came to make a choice, he did not hesitate to choose to establish a family.

This is the biggest difference between him and other time travelers.

You rely on yourselves, but I will build my own family.

Of course, he wouldn't casually flirt with other women anymore; he already had enough, and he was running out of options.

Moreover, he genuinely loved each of his mistresses, rather than simply treating them as breeding machines.

However, now is a very critical moment. If we miss the Foundation Establishment stage, we don't know when we will be able to prepare for building a family again.

Therefore, he wanted to ask Shen Wenwen for her opinion.

This is my own younger sister.

……

Shen Wenwen rested her head on Shen Bai's chest and slowly began to recall what she had learned in her textbooks, comparing it with her own and her brother's situation.

She was a little embarrassed.

After all, she is still a minor.

However, she was already a Qi Refining stage cultivator and had enough qualifications to discuss important family matters with Shen Bai.

"I, Shen Wenwen, don't need to rely on those stinky men. I'll stay by my brother's side for the rest of my life, and I'll only get stronger."

Shen Wenwen raised her little fist and waved it fiercely in the air.

"What if you really meet a man who makes your heart flutter? In the end, you have to face reality."

Shen Bai was very pleased with Shen Wenwen's idea, but he did not want to restrict Shen Wenwen's future.

Although the orthopedic surgeons here are not as good as me.

But there are still some.

Shen Wenwen fell silent.

After a long while, she slowly revealed her thoughts.
