22: Wan'er is pregnant, SS-level title reserved

In the blink of an eye, three months had passed.

During these three months, Qingyang City underwent earth-shaking changes.

The Chu Family had undoubtedly become the sole ruler of this city.

Under Lin Waner's swift and decisive methods, the resources of the former Hundred Herbs Hall and Pill Treasure Pavilion were quickly integrated to establish the Chu Family Pill Hall. Massive amounts of capital were invested, and countless rare medicinal herbs were continuously transported from surrounding cities.

And that "Spirit-Gathering Pill Refining Room," which had cost a fortune, also rose from a clearing in the Chu Family's backyard.

Although the Pill Refining Room could not yet function fully due to the lack of a core Formation Plate, the exquisite materials used and the faint Spiritual Qi it emitted were enough to make everyone in the Chu Family feel shocked and proud.

With the support of the Pill Hall, the disciples of the Chu Family's branch lines experienced for the first time what it meant to have "enough Medicinal Pills."

Previously, they might not even receive a single qi condensation pill in several months, but now they could get them almost every day. Some disciples with outstanding performance or better talent could even receive higher-level Body Tempering pills.

The atmosphere of Cultivate in the entire Chu Family was unprecedentedly high. Almost every few days, news of a disciple's Breakthrough would be heard.

And the "Qingyang Chamber of Commerce," initiated by Chu He, also officially began operations.

The major families in the city broke their previous barriers and, under the leadership of the Chu Family, united as one. Resources were shared, and interests were distributed equally. The commerce of the entire Qingyang City glowed with unprecedented vitality.

Everyone made a fortune, so they naturally became more supportive and respectful of the Chu Family, which led all of this.

As for Chu He himself, he had spent these three months quite leisurely.

During the day, he would guide the Family's disciples in their Cultivate, or accompany Qing'er to play with their son, Chu Tian, who had already grown plump and fair.

Little Chu Tian's talent also began to show during this period.

This little fellow was clearly still an infant who couldn't even roll over, but his sensitivity to Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi was frighteningly sharp. When he slept, the surrounding Spiritual Qi would unconsciously gather toward him, forming a faint vortex of Spiritual Qi.

Sometimes, when Chu He held him in his arms, he could feel the circulation speed of the spiritual power in his own body increase slightly.

As expected of an S-Rank Innate Spiritual Body!

And at night, Chu He naturally "worked hard," spreading his favors equally.

Qing'er's body, nourished by spiritual power, had long since recovered and was even more moving than before.

And Lin Waner, this stunning beauty with the "Yimu Body," made Chu He enjoy the taste so much that he never grew tired of it.

He could clearly feel that every time he engaged in "Dual Cultivation" with Lin Waner, his understanding of wood-attribute Spiritual Qi would deepen. Even the circulation of the "Nine Revolutions Tyrant Dragon Art" became much smoother.

On this day, Chu He was in the courtyard, guiding several branch disciples in practicing boxing techniques.

"Your punches must be fast and fierce! Use all your strength! Haven't you eaten?"

"Unite your waist and horse stance! If your lower body is unstable, what kind of boxing are you doing?!"

Chu He stood with his hands behind his back, like a strict instructor, constantly shouting rebukes.

Although those disciples were being scolded mercilessly, their faces were filled with excitement and gratitude.

What an honor it was to receive personal guidance from a Foundation Establishment Stage Old Ancestor! Just a word or two of guidance would be enough to benefit them for a lifetime.

Just then, Lin Waner walked over from the Pill Hall with light steps.

Her complexion today was exceptionally good, and her beautiful face was overflowing with an indescribable joy and radiance, making Chu He daze slightly.

"You guys, practice on your own!" Chu He waved his hand, dismissed the disciples, and went to meet her.

"What's making you so happy?" He smiled, pulled Lin Waner into his arms, and kissed her on the cheek.

Lin Waner's face flushed, but she didn't dodge. Instead, she took the initiative to hug Chu He's waist, pressed her face against his chest, and spoke with a hint of trembling and excitement.

"Husband..."

"Hmm?"

"I... I'm pregnant."

These few short words made Chu He freeze completely.

He suddenly lowered his head, looking at Lin Waner in his arms, his eyes wide.

"You... what did you say?!"

"I said, I'm pregnant." Lin Waner looked up, her eyes red, but her face overflowing with a happy smile. "It's been... over a month. I checked my own pulse this morning and finally confirmed it."

Boom!

Chu He's brain was instantly flooded with a wave of immense joy!

She's pregnant!

Waner is also pregnant!

Hahahaha! I'm going to be a father again!

Dammit, this "Many Children, Many Blessings" System is just awesome!

"Great! That's great!" Chu He was so excited he was somewhat incoherent. He picked Lin Waner up and spun around frantically in the courtyard several times.

"Oh! Husband! Put me down quickly! I'm... dizzy..." Lin Waner let out a soft cry, both shy and happy.

Chu He then snapped out of it, hurriedly and carefully putting her down, and said nervously, "How are you? Any discomfort? It's my fault, I was too excited."

He now looked at Lin Waner as if he were looking at a rare treasure, afraid she might get bumped or bruised.

"It's nothing." Lin Waner shook her head, her heart feeling sweet. "Husband, you seem even happier than I am."

"Of course!" Chu He rubbed his hands and paced back and forth, the smile on his face never fading. "This is the second great joyous event for my Chu Family! No, I must have Qing'er prepare. From today on, your daily life and meals must be of the highest standard! All Spirit Medicine for prenatal care will be used for you!"

He was already starting to look forward to it.

Qing'er has a mortal body, and the Chu Tian she gave birth to is an S-Rank Innate Spiritual Body.

But Lin Waner has the S-Rank potential "Yimu Body"!

What level would the Bloodline Rank of the child she has with me reach?

S-Rank?

No! It's very likely to be... SS-rank!

At the thought of an SS-rank descendant and the potentially earth-shattering System rewards it could bring, Chu He's heart pounded!

From Mid Foundation Establishment stage to Late-stage Foundation Establishment? Or directly reaching the Golden Core Stage in one step?

Another Heaven Rank Cultivation Technique? Or a real supreme emperor weapon?

Holy crap, I don't dare to think about it, I don't dare!

Just as Chu He was immersed in his beautiful fantasies, the System's prompt sounded at an inopportune time.

[Ding! Detected that the Host has successfully impregnated a second wife/concubine. The Family's expansion is on the right track!]

[Triggered special mission: Justifiable Name!]

[Mission Description: The Host has taken Lin Waner as an equal wife, but has not yet completed the formal marriage rites. Please complete the "wedding night" with Lin Waner as soon as possible to ensure the purity and strength of the descendant's Bloodline.]

[Mission Reward: The descendant's Bloodline Rank will be forcibly increased by one tier (not exceeding SSS-rank), and the quality of the innate talent will be improved.]

Chu He was stunned.

What the heck?

Wedding night?

We've been having fun every night for three months, and that's not enough for a "wedding night"?

System, are you fucking messing with me?

Chu He looked carefully at the mission description before it clicked.

The "wedding night" the System mentioned should refer to the first formal marital rite performed after the ceremony, once the status is officially established.

Previously, although he and Lin Waner already had the reality of being husband and wife, in name, Lin Waner was still just an "unwed concubine."

"Holy shit! There's even such a saying?" Chu He cursed the System in his heart for being melodramatic.

But immediately afterward, he was attracted by the generous mission rewards.

Bloodline Rank forcibly increased by one tier!

What kind of god-tier reward is this?!

If Waner's current pregnancy was originally S-Rank, then increasing it by one tier would make it SS-rank?

If it was already SS-rank, wouldn't it directly jump to an SSS-rank Godchild?!

I've hit the jackpot! This time I've really hit the jackpot!

Chu He's breathing instantly became rapid.

He looked at Lin Waner's flat belly, his gaze becoming incredibly burning.

No! This mission must be completed immediately!

"Waner." Chu He took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down, and spoke in an extremely solemn tone.

"Hmm? Husband, what's wrong?" Lin Waner was startled by his serious expression.

"Tonight," Chu He said word by word, "we will hold another wedding night."
