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

"I don't know if I'll get married in the future, after all, you can't predict the future."

"Without my brother, I wouldn't be who I am today. So, I find it hard to imagine what life would be like without him, and I don't think any other man could be better than him."

"Even if I really have to get married... the other person must be a live-in son-in-law, so that I can help my brother and share some of the burden with him."

Shen Wenwen's speech gradually quickened, and finally she suddenly slammed her right fist into her left palm: "It's settled then! If you want to pursue me, Shen Wenwen, marrying into my family is the first condition! Being stronger than my brother is the second condition!"

Shen Bai was both amused and touched, but still hugged Shen Wenwen tightly and gently stroked her increasingly long hair.

"Wait a while longer. Once I've established a firm foothold in Qiyuan City, I'll bring you and Anli over there. Your cultivation will be faster there than here."

Shen Wenwen immediately became happy and kept asking Qi Yuanxing what the situation was, and whether the beastmen were really just hairy humans as everyone said.

After chatting for a long time, Shen Wenwen's mind suddenly took a turn.

"Shen Bai, are you in such a hurry to establish a family? Is it because Sister-in-law An Li is pregnant?"

Shen Bai paused for a moment, then vigorously rubbed her head: "What are you thinking about? Your sister-in-law An Li hasn't even entered the Foundation Establishment stage yet."

"oh!"

Shen Wenwen stomped her feet, paused for a few seconds, then asked suspiciously, "So, is one of your other lovers pregnant? Bai Qingqing? No, Bai Qingqing hasn't even reached the Foundation Establishment stage! Let me think, who is your Foundation Establishment stage lover?"

Shen Bai broke out in a cold sweat.

What is this little girl thinking about all day long?

"Don't speculate, it's not true!"

Shen Bai patted her little head, but how could this little gossip be fooled by Shen Bai at this moment? She jumped off the swing and huffed, "Shen Bai, don't think I don't know you. The more you forbid me from asking about something, the more likely it is to be true!"

"With so many little lovers, are you pregnant by accident? Am I going to be an aunt? Is that it? Is that it?"

Shen Wenwen's eyes grew increasingly excited; she had already begun to imagine how she would face the baby after becoming an aunt.

"The little one will stay with me from the moment he's born, and I'll teach him martial arts!"

"I wonder if it's a man or a woman. Did you have a healer check its pulse? Sister Huang Ying is skilled in both medicine and poison; perhaps you could have her take its pulse!"

"Huh? Sister Huang Ying seems to be at the Foundation Establishment stage, and Sisters Bai Lu and Qian Yu are also at the Foundation Establishment stage! Shen Bai, you big scumbag, you wouldn't even spare your classmates and subordinates, would you?"

"I know you men love this kind of thing, so tell me the truth!"

……

Shen Wenwen's thought process was too peculiar, connecting her childhood sweetheart to her nephew and niece, and then to Huang Ying and others.

Finally, after checking all the Foundation Establishment stage women around her, her eyes widened suddenly.

"You big scumbag, could it be Liu Shi...?"

Shen Wenwen's mouth was suddenly sealed shut by Shen Bai's hand.

If this is shouted out, something big is likely to happen.

Shen Wenwen's eyes darted around frantically.

No way, really?

Did Shen Bai win over Liu Shiqian?

Are you planning to have children?

How is that possible?

The difference in their social status is quite significant!

You silly brother, even if you win her over, there's no need to rush to have a child with her!

If a royal princess becomes pregnant out of wedlock, it can lead to serious trouble.

It could cost you your life.

"Don't make wild guesses, nothing of the sort is true. Nobody's pregnant. I'm just preparing to establish a family!"

Shen Bai completely shattered her whimsical ideas.

Shen Wenwen quieted down, but her words remained sharp.

"Shen Bai, you can't go on like this, or your little lovers will slice you into eight pieces."

Shen Bai nodded: "Don't worry, I won't go after other women again."

Shen Wenwen was finally satisfied, but before leaving, she added, "Be careful with Liu Shiqian."

……

Shen Bai left, returned in a hurry, and left in a hurry.

This time, he took half of the Golden Core Demon King with him.

Shen Wenwen saw him off with tears in her eyes. Turning around, she saw that An Li also had tears in her eyes, and she suddenly thought of her family.

"Sister-in-law Anli, come here, I need to tell you something!"

Shen Wenwen mysteriously pulled An Li aside.

Tang Xinyue went inside to cook for Shen Wenwen without being told to.

"What's wrong?"

An Li was feeling a bit sentimental when she saw Shen Wen's expression. Curious, she followed her to the swing and sat down.

"Sister-in-law, are you about to enter the Foundation Establishment stage?"

Shen Wenwen asked.

An Li nodded and said, "Yes, I'm going to go deep into the secret realm these next few days to temper my will and then prepare for the final push."

Shen Wenwen chuckled and asked, "When are you planning to marry my brother, sister-in-law?"

An Li exclaimed, her face immediately turning bright red. She said shyly, "No...no rush, right? We should focus on cultivation now."

Shen Wenwen nodded and said, "But once you enter the Foundation Establishment stage, shouldn't you start thinking about having children? Isn't the Foundation Establishment stage the golden period for female cultivators to have children?"

An Li was taken aback for a moment, then looked at Shen Wenwen: "Did your brother send you to ask me this?"

Such questions are not the kind of questions that a cultivator of Shen Wenwen's age would think about.

Then there's only one explanation.

Shen Bai must have made her ask that.

Thinking of this, An Li's heart started pounding wildly.

Is this blockhead finally going to propose to me?

Shen Wenwen quickly shook her head: "No, no, Sister-in-law An Li, don't worry, my brother didn't mean that. I just wanted to remind you that my brother is about to break through to the Golden Core stage."

Shen Wenwen's words were already quite clear.

An Li understood immediately.

The academically gifted girl's mind was thrown into turmoil.

Shen Wenwen added fuel to the fire at the opportune moment: "Even if you're going to get pregnant, you have to do it before Bai Qingqing!"

An Li suddenly stood up from the swing: "I'm going to attempt to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage!"

Shen Wenwen smiled happily.

As expected, Sister-in-law An Li can't stand hearing the name "Bai Qingqing". With this incident as a stimulus, you'll probably be even more determined to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage!

Thinking of this, Shen Wenwen picked up the communication talisman again.

"Sister-in-law Qingqing, I heard from my brother that you're aiming to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage?"

……

After more than ten days without Li Bai's roses, Vanka suddenly felt a little uneasy.

This feeling already existed when Li Bai left Blue Star, but this time it was even stronger than before.

Vanka felt restless. Besides using various official duties to distract herself, she even found it difficult to calm her mind during her daily cultivation.

Why is this happening? Could it be that I've really fallen in love with this arrogant swordsman?

Vanka constantly questioned his own conscience.

During this time, although the two maintained contact through communication talismans, she always felt that Li Bai was not as enthusiastic towards her as he had been before.

Daily interactions are mostly limited to ordinary greetings.

Even the usual flirting is gone.

This lukewarm feeling was simply unacceptable to the woman from the Kingdom of Rota, who was deeply in love.

Why is my temperature fluctuating between hot and cold?

"Could it be that he's disappointed in me because of Phelps? Or is he just tired of me?"

Vanka repeatedly questioned himself and regretted more than once why he hadn't taken precautions against Fip's antics.

Now that Philip is dead, the Kuna family is pressuring and pressuring the family every day.

Today, it's even worse.

Jarnard, the youngest son of Judd, the current head of the Kuna family, succeeded his deceased brother Fip as the deputy consul general of the Kingdom of Rota on Qiyuan Star.

Jarnard's talent is slightly higher than Phip's, and he has already reached the late stage of the Golden Core realm, only one small realm away from his own.

"Miss Vanka, it's great to finally meet you!"

Jarnard looks slightly different from his brother; he has black hair, blue eyes, and a somewhat composed demeanor.

"welcome!"

Vanka casually led the man into her office, and Janard got straight to the point: "I will be conducting a full investigation into my brother's death, and I hope Miss Vanka will cooperate."

Vanka nodded: "That's only right."

Seeing that the other party had no objection, Jarnard suddenly revealed a confident smile: "My father is discussing our marriage with your family, but I personally prefer to win Miss Vanka's heart through my own efforts."

"I don't discuss personal matters here. If we've finished discussing business, please don't waste my time."

Vanka kept people at arm's length, showing them absolutely no respect.

Jarnard wasn't annoyed. Instead, he got up to leave, and as he reached the door, he smiled and said, "I believe that with my efforts, I can definitely change Miss Vanka's mind."

Vanka remained noncommittal.

Just then, a figure appeared in Vanka's field of vision.

"Li Bai!"

Almost immediately, Vanka recognized who it was, and her eyes suddenly lit up with joy.

Li Bai laughed heartily as he walked towards Vanka: "Miss Vanka, I have fulfilled my mission! I have found a sixth-tier spiritual vein!"

"A sixth-order spiritual vein?"

Vanka could barely suppress the smile on her face. She gestured towards her office with one hand, "Quick, I want to hear your intelligence report!"

The Golden Core cultivators around Shen Bai also heard his words and looked at him with surprise and envy.

"Sixth tier? Even in the capital of the Kingdom of Rota, there are only three such veins! This kid's luck is incredible; he found such a good spiritual vein in just over ten days!"

"Our Kingdom of Rota is about to prosper! Qiyuan City is just a sixth-tier spiritual vein. With a sixth-tier spiritual vein, we can build our own city!"

"Not only is Li Bai a highly skilled swordsman, but he's also incredibly lucky! With such a great achievement, will his relationship with Miss Vanka finally work out?"

……

The whispers of the crowd reached Janard's ears. His face showed no emotion, but when he saw Vanka's completely different attitude towards Li Bai and towards him, a hint of mockery still crept onto his lips.

He's just a mere Foundation Establishment stage sword cultivator.

Treating him like a treasure, it seems your Vanka isn't as amazing as the legends say!
