58: Go to the Spirit Mine

The wedding continued until evening. The Zhou Garden was decorated with lanterns and banners, and the guests were still toasting each other, making it very lively.

Besides Xu Changsheng, Zhou Luo actually had no other friends in the Zhou Family.

At the moment, these guests were so enthusiastic simply because of the Great Elder.

Before the table, Zhou Luo's cheeks were flushed red, and he swayed when he walked.

He had drunk too much Spirit Wine, to the point that he couldn't metabolize it, and was now in a drunken state.

Lin Qinghan silently supported him and asked with concern, "Are you okay?"

Zhou Luo looked at the woman in front of him with blurry, drunken eyes, shook his head slightly, and then said solemnly, "In the future, I will give you a bigger wedding than this."

Lin Qinghan felt a surge of emotion inside and helped him sit down.

"We don't care about these things, as long as you are good to us," Lin Qinghan said softly.

"Of course, you are my women," Zhou Luo said, leaning in and kissing her without hesitation.

Lin Qinghan initially wanted to refuse, but when those warm lips kissed her, she suddenly felt her body lose control.

It was a long time before the two separated.

Zhou Luo looked a bit awkward.

After all, today was his and Lin Jinxuan's big day, and it was really not appropriate to do such a thing.

It wasn't until late at night that the guests finally dispersed, leaving behind a mess.

The servants of the Zhou Garden began cleaning, and all the women returned to their rooms to sleep with the little one.

In the bridal chamber, Zhou Luo saw Lin Jinxuan sitting on the bed with a red veil covering her head, and he walked towards her unsteadily.

By the candlelight, he gently lifted the red veil, revealing that exquisite, perfect, and captivating face.

Lin Jinxuan, as a new wife, showed shyness, couldn't help but clench her small fists, pursed her red lips, and felt a bit nervous and uneasy.

Zhou Luo stared at her blankly and subconsciously said, "You are so beautiful."

Lin Jinxuan's mind buzzed, as if struck by something, and she felt momentarily lost.

Before she could react, Zhou Luo leaned in and kissed her.

"Husband, the candles... hmm..."

Lin Jinxuan hadn't finished speaking when she felt a warmth on her lips, and then...

...

The next morning, on the messy bed, Zhou Luo awoke from his sleep and looked at Lin Jinxuan, who was nestled against his chest. His heart stirred, and he couldn't help but reach out to caress her smooth skin...

Mmhmm~

Lin Jinxuan let out a soft hum, which was like a devil's temptation, arousing Zhou Luo's desire.

He turned over and got up.

When he woke up again, it was already noon.

Lin Jinxuan, who had been thoroughly exhausted, came to the dining room.

The women looked at her, all smiling.

This made Lin Jinxuan's cheeks blush even more, feeling incredibly shy inside.

In the following days, Lin Jinxuan naturally became the new mistress of the Zhou Garden, replacing Lin Qinghan's original position.

However, nothing really changed.

Although Lin Jinxuan became Zhou Luo's nominal legal wife, she still handed over the household affairs to Lin Qinghan to manage.

There was no expected 'new broom sweeps clean', nor any expected jealousy or rivalry.

The Zhou Garden was in harmony.

It wasn't until the fifth day after the wedding that the tranquility was broken.

The Main Family's arrangement arrived.

Three days later, Zhou Luo would go to the Zhou Family's Spirit Mine to refine Pills.

Zhou Luo had learned a lot about the information regarding the Spirit Mine through Lin Jinxuan.

The Spirit Mine he was going to this time was the same one that was previously contested with the Chang Sheng Lu Family.

Previously, this Spirit Mine was attacked by the Evil Sect, and the Zhou Family had dispatched a large number of Cultivators to guard it.

So, safety issues were not a concern for now.

The internal structure of the Spirit Mine was actually no different from the Zhou Family, but with different statuses, the treatment would be vastly different.

This was different from the Zhou Family.

Within the Zhou Family, to demonstrate fairness, there were various rules to restrain those with noble status, preventing them from being reckless.

But at the Spirit Mine, where the sky was high and the Emperor was far away, status was the symbol of everything.

People with low status, once they angered those with noble status, wouldn't even know how they died.

That's right, the probability of death at the Spirit Mine was very high.

Basically, every month, various people would disappear inexplicably.

Some were ordinary people mining, and some were Lin Family Disciples supervising the work.

The Main Family sending Zhou Luo to this place this time was probably also intended to slightly punish him.

After all, he was just a son-in-law.

Even if his status within the Zhou Family was high now, at the Spirit Mine, people wouldn't be so polite to an outsider.

Zhou Luo increasingly felt that this trip to the Spirit Mine would not be smooth sailing.

Therefore, before this, he took the token and entered the Core Area of the Spirit Vein Blessed Land again for Cultivation.

He had also been cultivating for some time before.

And two consecutive days of non-stop Cultivation finally allowed him to break through from Qi Cultivation Stage 2 to Qi Refining Fifth Layer.

Stepping into Qi Refining Fifth Layer did not bring Zhou Luo any visible enhancement, but at least it gave him a bit more confidence.

On this day, the butler Lin Fu visited again.

"Are you ready?" Lin Fu asked, looking at Zhou Luo.

Zhou Luo, holding the Snow Mountain Spirit Cat, nodded.

He had already packed everything he needed into his storage bag.

As for the Snow Mountain Spirit Cat, although it was only First-Order Pill mid-stage, its ability to create illusions was becoming increasingly proficient now.

He had tested it before, and even Lin Qinghan, who was at Qi Refining Fifth Layer, would experience a brief moment of distraction.

This little guy might actually be useful at a critical moment.

So he simply brought it along.

"Then come with me," Lin Fu nodded.

With that, he casually threw out a small boat. The boat suddenly enlarged in a flash of spiritual light, becoming a flying boat.

This time, he would escort Zhou Luo to the Spirit Mine.

Lin Fu was the first to stand on the flying boat. Zhou Luo turned back to look at his wives and concubines.

They all had expressions of reluctance, especially Bai Zhiyan and Lin Jinxuan, who had spent the least amount of Time with Zhou Luo and were the most dependent on him.

Zhou Luo gave them a reassuring smile and said softly, "Don't worry, take good care of yourselves and the children while I'm not home."

"Husband, take care of yourself," Lin Jinxuan, as the legal wife, couldn't help but say.

"Okay, okay," Zhou Luo nodded and jumped onto the flying boat.

On the flying boat, under the watchful eyes of his wives and concubines, he followed Lin Fu and left the Zhou Garden.

In mid-air, the flying boat flew through the sky at high speed.

Lin Fu stood with his hands behind his back, his expression still indifferent.

Behind him, Zhou Luo was stroking the soft fur of the Snow Mountain Spirit Cat.

"The Great Elder said that when you go to the Spirit Mine this time, just focus on Pill Refining and don't bother with anything else."

At this moment, Lin Fu suddenly said.

Zhou Luo's heart tightened.

He hadn't expected that the other party was actually part of the Great Elder's faction.

"Butler Lin, are there other things besides mining at the mine?" Zhou Luo asked deliberately.

Lin Fu looked back at him and then said meaningfully, "The Spirit Mine you are going to this time is currently being managed by people from the Main Family."

Hearing this, Zhou Luo was greatly surprised.

It seemed the Main Family intended to suppress him properly.

He looked at Lin Fu's back and asked, "Butler Lin, what should I do if they deliberately cause trouble?"

He needed to confirm how far the Main Family's suppression would go.

"Endure it," Lin Fu spat out two words.

Zhou Luo's eyes narrowed.

Lin Fu continued, "You are very important to the Zhou Family, and the Great Elder doesn't want anything to happen to you, but no one knows what the Main Family is really thinking, especially since Third Miss has become the Disciple of Master Zhi Shou. No one can guarantee they won't ruin you."

"Of course, they definitely wouldn't dare to do it openly. You just need to stay put, don't cause trouble, and everything will be fine after this period passes."
