2: Lin Qinghan

As Zhou Luo looked at her, Lin Qinghan also happened to look over.

A hint of surprise flickered in Lin Qinghan’s clear and cold eyes, and she stopped in her tracks.

Zhou Luo, dressed in brocade robes, already had a good foundation, and after being specially groomed, he appeared even more handsome and refined, far surpassing ordinary people.

As a result, Lin Qinghan, who was originally somewhat resistant to the matter, couldn't help but feel a ripple in her heart.

After a slight hesitation, she regained her composure and asked, “What is your name?”

“Zhou Luo.”

Zhou Luo stood up abruptly, straightened his back, and said formally.

Although he had lived two lives, when truly encountering such a situation, especially with a great beauty as the object, he couldn't help but feel a little flustered.

Lin Qinghan frowned slightly.

She hadn't expected that the Family had chosen someone with only a Nine-Rank Spiritual Root for her.

“Sit down.”

Lin Qinghan said indifferently, walking to the opposite side of Zhou Luo and sitting down.

Their eyes met, and silence reigned, with only the candlelight flickering faintly.

At this moment, Lin Qinghan suddenly asked, “Is this your first time?”

Cough, cough—

Zhou Luo almost choked on such a direct question.

“I don’t want my first man to not be a virgin.”

Lin Qinghan’s voice came again.

This might be her only slight resistance to the Family’s arrangement.

“I am,” Zhou Luo replied truthfully.

“Good, then go to bed.”

Lin Qinghan said no more, appearing very decisive.

Zhou Luo was even stunned for a moment.

He wondered, shouldn't we first communicate, build some rapport, and then develop further?

But looking at her unquestionable gaze, Zhou Luo knew that as a son-in-law, he truly had no other choice.

He could only get up and walk straight to the bed, neatly taking off his clothes, and then burrowing under the covers.

Lin Qinghan glanced at him, sighed softly, and moved her index finger slightly.

Whoosh—

The candlelight extinguished, and the room plunged into darkness.

In the darkness, the rustling sound of clothes being removed faintly echoed.

Suddenly, Zhou Luo smelled a faint fragrance, followed by a warm presence squeezing into the bed.

Upon touching that soft body, he could clearly feel that its owner trembled slightly.

It seems she isn't as calm as he thought.

Zhou Luo, with his mind wandering, couldn't help but think.

…

Time flew by in a flash.

When Zhou Luo woke up again, it was already daylight.

Having battled for several rounds last night, he only felt a sore back and aching waist; he turned his head to look and saw Lin Qinghan, with skin like jade, curled up in his arms like a kitten.

The moment he looked over, Lin Qinghan’s eyelashes fluttered, and she also opened her eyes.

Her clear beautiful eyes sparkled, devoid of last night’s arrogance, and instead filled with a touch of feminine tenderness.

“Cough, cough, you’re awake.”

Zhou Luo still had his right arm around her, and his expression was awkward.

“Mm.”

Lin Qinghan whimpered softly, actually hugging him and closing her eyes again, as if she had fallen back asleep.

Zhou Luo carefully repositioned his head, his gaze fixed on the canopy.

Just as he closed his eyes, intending to sleep a little longer, a 'ding' sound suddenly echoed in his mind.

Immediately after, the four large characters for [More Children, More Blessings] abruptly appeared in his vision.

Zhou Luo’s body trembled, startled by this sudden appearance.

Fortunately, Lin Qinghan next to him only stirred slightly and did not wake up.

He closed his eyes again, concentrating on the four characters.

At this moment, he suddenly realized…

This might be his Golden Finger.

With this thought, his heart swelled with joy, and he eagerly looked at the introduction.

Just as the name he saw suggested, his Golden Finger was related to having children.

Firstly, when a Dao Companion conceives, he will receive a lottery chance.

In addition, for every child born, he will also receive a Lifespan reward.

Depending on the child’s Aptitude, the Lifespan reward varies, starting from a minimum of 10 years.

If a child with a Spiritual Root is born, it will also affect his own Spiritual Root.

This couldn’t help but excite Zhou Luo, who only had a Nine-Rank Spiritual Root.

The biggest obstacle preventing him from stepping into the immortal sect was this Spiritual Root!

Spiritual Root affects a Cultivator’s ultimate achievement on the path of longevity!

If he could improve his own Spiritual Root, wouldn’t it be possible for him to become a Genius one day?

Being a Genius or not didn't matter.

As long as he could enter the immortal sect and learn higher-quality Cultivation Techniques and immortal arts, he would be satisfied.

It’s just that he originally thought the appearance of the Golden Finger would allow him to escape his status as a son-in-law…

In the end, he still had to accept his fate!

But as long as he had enough children, his Lifespan would continue to extend!

What is true longevity?

This is it!

As long as he lived long enough, this Lin Family might even be his one day!

At that time, this Longevity Lin Family could be renamed the Longevity Zhou Family!

With this thought, Zhou Luo felt refreshed and invigorated, and his previous fatigue seemed to vanish.

He opened his eyes and looked at the beauty beside him; in his joyous mood, he suddenly flipped over, propping himself up with one hand, his gaze intensely fixed on her.

Since having children could increase his Lifespan, he naturally had to work hard.

Immediately, he leaned over.

…

Knock, knock, knock—

A series of noisy knocks on the door woke Zhou Luo from his deep sleep.

After he fully awoke, he realized that Lin Qinghan had already left.

“What is it?” Zhou Luo asked.

“Zhou Luo, Young Miss wants you to go to the Green Bamboo Hall!”

Outside the room, a cold voice sounded.

The next second, the door was suddenly pushed open.

A servant girl with an indifferent expression appeared before him, her face cold.

It seemed this should be the servant girl attending to Lin Qinghan.

However, her attitude towards him, this “son-in-law,” didn’t seem very good.

Thinking about it, he was just a son-in-law used for breeding; in terms of identity and status, he truly seemed to be lower than a servant girl.

Zhou Luo was not annoyed; he threw back the covers, preparing to get out of bed.

“What are you doing?!”

Suddenly, the servant girl shrieked, then quickly covered her eyes.

Zhou Luo then realized that he seemed to have forgotten to put on clothes after their intimate encounter.

He quickly pulled the covers back up, somewhat awkwardly saying, “You go out first, I’ll be there once I’m dressed.”

The servant girl lowered her hands, glared at him fiercely, and turned to walk out of the room.

Once outside the room, the servant girl couldn't help but recall the scene from just now, and her cheeks immediately flushed slightly.

They say a good son-in-law has ample capital, and it was indeed true!

Soon, Zhou Luo, dressed, walked out.

“Follow me, and don’t wander or look around on the way,” the servant girl said, having composed herself, holding her head high and proudly.

The Lin Family mansion covered an extremely vast area, and Zhou Luo didn’t know which area he was in.

Along the way, he even saw some familiar faces, all of whom were people who had been tricked into the Lin Family yesterday.

Greenwood Hall was the name of a residence.

When Zhou Luo appeared before this spacious courtyard, he was slightly stunned.

Goodness!

This courtyard is a bit large.

It’s almost comparable to a park in his previous life.

“Young Miss is waiting for you inside.”

The servant girl’s posture was humble and respectful, but her voice carried a hint of coldness.

It seemed she didn't intend to go inside.

Zhou Luo didn't think much and walked directly into the courtyard.
