Chapter 101: The Terrifying True Qi of a Fifth Layer Expert, Lin Xuankong's Life as an Old Master - Part 2
Lii Xiaolan saw him speak so confidently, which finally put her mind at ease. However, when she personally witnessed Lin Xuankong open several Ghost Frog Pouches, the stunning young lady couldn't help but place a hand over her chest, marveling for a long while!
"Pick any Battle Armor you like; they're all famous in Great Marsh Prefecture. If you want to use one, it'd be best to ask Xiao Xiuyi to modify it—change its color and style! As for the Demon Pearls, just pick whichever one you want! Most importantly, during your Cultivation, eat Demon Flesh with all your might. I believe your Cultivation Speed will greatly increase because of it!"
Lin Xuankong, with the grand air of a lord, generously lavished the resources at his disposal upon the young lady before him, hoping to stun her.
Just as Lin Xuankong had hoped, Lii Xiaolan was thoroughly overwhelmed. Despite having spent years by the side of the Huang Family's eldest daughter and being accustomed to luxury, her beautiful face now wore a blank expression, and she even forgot to swallow the pastry in her mouth!
After a long pause, the young lady finally began to eat her pastry along with the other dishes. "You keep the Demon Pearls for yourself," she said. "I stay at home all day, so I'm not in much danger. I'll wait until Xiao Xiuyi modifies a Battle Armor before I wear one... Oh my god! Sister Ni Chang's Huang Family, with thousands of Martial Cultivating clansmen, only has three complete sets of Exorcism Armor, yet you have nine! Never mind anything else, just with these Exorcism Armors, you'll soon be considered the biggest upstart in Great Marsh Prefecture!"
Lin Xuankong laughed. "Then you'll be Lady Bao in the future!"
Lii Xiaolan was speechless.
"What Lady Bao? I'll be Lady Lin!"
She happily took a bite of her food. "Actually, I already guessed that the one who defeated the Mysterious Female Cultivator had to be you!"
"So confident in your husband?" Lin Xuankong took a bite, chewed a few times, and then praised, "This food is truly delicious, even better than what the head chef at Piaoxiang Tower makes!"
Lii Xiaolan replied, "Of course, I'm confident in you. Don't forget who your master guiding you onto the Martial Dao is! Besides, even those Sect Leaders and gang leaders who occasionally visit the Huang Family can't stop praising Sister Little Chun's cooking. Of course, it's delicious!"
After saying that, she frowned slightly. "It's wonderful that you gained so much in Demon-Suppressing Valley—things others can only dream of! But while you were so happily killing in there, the Black Tiger Gang, the Guo Family, the Feng Family, and the Gu Yue Sect are probably already investigating who was responsible for all that carnage!"
Lin Xuankong raised an eyebrow. "I've already briefed those Martial Cultivators. In the short term, the Black Tiger Gang and the others shouldn't be able to find anything."
The two of them chatted as they ate. Before they knew it, four to six hours had passed, and Lin Xuankong had finally eaten until he was about one percent full.
At that moment, he stole a glance at Lii Xiaolan and, feigning nonchalance, said, "Ah, my dear, we'll be living in a grand mansion in the future! Even so, we mustn't be extravagant... I've heard that the masters of those great families all have three or four wives, marrying a whole bunch of them and having lots of children! That's absolutely wrong, particularly wrong, extremely wrong. Don't you agree, my dear?"
Hearing this, Lii Xiaolan carefully examined Lin Xuankong from head to toe. Being scrutinized by his young lady, and with the matter of Yu Fei weighing on his conscience, Lin Xuankong felt a bit uneasy. "What are you looking at?"
Lii Xiaolan leaned in, sniffing him carefully. "I think you reek of a vixen!"
Lin Xuankong immediately put on a righteous expression. "How could that be? I haven't been to the Qiaan Branch, nor have I hunted any Demon Foxes. How could I possibly smell like a vixen!"
Lii Xiaolan said, "Bringing up the matter of multiple wives for no reason... I think now that you're rich, you're starting to get ideas. Are you planning to 'get promoted, get rich, and ditch your wife'?"
Lin Xuankong's face was a mask of stern righteousness. "Absolutely not! How could I, Lin Xuankong, be that kind of person? I'm just thinking that with such a large family enterprise, and me getting on in years, I have to consider the future! We can't be without heirs; we need to have several descendants to inherit the family business, right?"
Hearing this, Lii Xiaolan instantly understood. She stole a glance at her increasingly robust husband, then suddenly lowered her head, a faint blush creeping up her cheeks as she licked the large prawn in her hand.
For a moment, a mix of happiness, surprise, and worry churned within Lii Xiaolan. "Regarding... regarding descendants," she stammered, "there's no need to hurry, is there? Let's talk about it in a few... a few days! I... I'll go refine some Elixirs!"
With that, the blushing young lady transformed into a blur and slipped into the nearby Alchemy Room!
"Tell me clearly how many days! It can't be more than nine, or else it'll become more than ten!"
Lin Xuankong laughed heartily. His index finger twitched in anticipation, and he couldn't help but rub his hands together before picking up a beautifully cooked abalone with his chopsticks and swallowing it in one bite.
Oh, very good! The taste is excellent!
Yu Fei, don't worry. Just wait until I handle this sister of yours!
「The next morning,」
After finishing his Cultivation, Lin Xuankong ate a few bowls of porridge meticulously prepared by Sister Little Chun. He then greeted the young lady—who had spent all night refining Elixirs in the Alchemy Room and hadn't dared to return to her own room—before leaving home.
Upon arriving at the Cow and Horse Street outpost, Yang Mountain, Li Er, Little Hu, and the others were overjoyed to see Lin Xuankong.
After chatting for a while and arranging matters at the outpost, Lin Xuankong and Lin Jiao, who had hurried over, headed towards the Feng Family residence together.
