15: Older people are more caring! Ye Xinlian has a good impression of her!

With his current strength having advanced to the third level of the Body Tempering Realm, the consumption brought by Ye An's operation of the Qi Gathering Art also increased.

"Ding! This consumption requires 30 merit points and can increase the cultivation effect by 8 times. Do you wish to proceed?"

Listening to the System's prompt in his mind, Ye An did not hesitate.

He immediately invested 30 merit points.

Indeed, investment and return are directly proportional.

As these 30 merit points were invested, Ye An immediately felt the coldness within his body dissipate.

In fact, his entire body felt warm.

This sensation made him incredibly comfortable.

If it weren't for Ye Xinlian's body being unable to handle it, he could have gone for another dozen rounds without any problem...

The next morning, Ye An woke up early.

He then headed straight to the back mountain.

With the experience of catching Phoenix Feather Chickens yesterday, Ye An had learned his lesson this time.

He didn't catch them in a large area, but rather caught them in one area and then moved to another.

This was to prevent these Phoenix Feather Chickens from becoming too clever.

Indeed, this method of catching proved to be incredibly effective.

He continued catching until noon.

Ye An finally gathered thirty Phoenix Feather Chickens, and immediately carried them straight to the market.

There were many stalls in the market that bought Phoenix Feather Chickens, and the price of ten Spirit Stones per chicken was the same everywhere.

Ye An casually found a stall, sold all thirty Phoenix Feather Chickens, and then exchanged them for three hundred Spirit Stones before heading straight to the Pill Talisman Pavilion...

At this moment, inside the Pill Talisman Pavilion, Ye Tonger was standing on a cargo lift, checking inventory.

"Boss, I want a Beauty Restoration Pill!" Ye An ran in and shouted.

Ye Tonger was about to speak when she heard him, but when she saw that the person who came was actually Ye An, she couldn't help but be startled.

Her carelessness caused the cargo lift under her feet to tilt.

Ye Tonger, unable to react in time, fell directly towards the ground.

Fortunately, Ye An was quick-witted and caught Ye Tonger as she fell.

Ye Tonger was also stunned by this sudden turn of events.

She lay in Ye An's arms, her head still a bit dazed.

She didn't know if it was because Ye An's physique was too sturdy or for some other reason, but Ye Tonger felt a strange sense of security lying in his arms.

For a moment, she even forgot to scream.

It wasn't until Ye Yinger rushed over upon hearing the commotion and was startled by the scene before her, shouting, "What are you two doing?"

Only then did Ye Tonger react, quickly breaking free from Ye An's embrace.

"Thank... thank you!"

Ye An scratched his head and said, "It was nothing. I came to buy a Beauty Restoration Pill!"

Ye Tonger quickly took a Medicinal Pill from a shelf nearby and handed it to Ye An.

Ye An took the Medicinal Pill, looked at Ye Tonger, and then at Ye Yinger beside her.

He felt as if he had seen these two women somewhere before!

"Ladies, have we met somewhere before?"

Ye Tonger and Ye Yinger were both startled, and the latter quickly said, "Have... have we?"

"We have never met you!"

Ye An was taken aback and said awkwardly, "My apologies, then I must have mistaken you for someone else!"

He then turned and left.

Ye Yinger quickly pulled Ye Tonger aside and asked, "What did you say to him?"

Ye Tonger shook her head and said, "I didn't say anything!"

"I don't know why he felt we were familiar. Could it be that you didn't erase your memory completely yesterday?"

Ye Yinger frowned and said, "That shouldn't be the case. And even if he had some impression, what were you doing just now?"

"Lying in his arms, motionless for so long!"

Ye Tonger's pretty face immediately flushed red upon hearing this, and she said somewhat shyly, "I... I was just taken aback by his sturdy body..."

"Hmm?" Ye Yinger rolled her eyes at Ye Tonger upon hearing this.

"I think you're just longing for a man!"

Ye Tonger said, "But Older Sister, his body is really very... sturdy!"

"So what? Why would a grown man like him buy a Beauty Restoration Pill?" Ye Yinger asked.

Ye Tonger shook her head.

However, just as the two of them were pondering, the maid in the shop walked in from outside.

She saw the two of them and smiled, "Young Misses, you've arrived. The gentleman who just left, you probably don't know him!"

"He's Second Madam's Husband who lives with wifes family. I didn't expect him to be so good to Ye Xinlian, coming so early in the morning to buy her a Beauty Restoration Pill!"

"I've heard many people say that he earned the money by catching Phoenix Feather Chickens in the back mountain early this morning!"

"Indeed, people say that older men are more doting. That's really true!"

Ye Yinger and Ye Tonger were both stunned upon hearing this.

Ye Tonger quickly asked, "What did you say? He's that seventy-year-old Husband who lives with wifes family?"

"Yes!" The maid nodded.

Ye Tonger quickly looked at Ye Yinger beside her and whispered, "Older Sister! He's already seventy years old, and yesterday you still used such heavy hands!"

Ye Yinger also said with an embarrassed expression, "I... I didn't know! And he doesn't look seventy at all; I'd believe it if you said he was thirty!"

"Besides, who told him to peep at us..."

As Ye Yinger spoke, she noticed that Ye Tonger was staring out the door, lost in thought.

"I say, you haven't really fallen for him, have you?" Ye Yinger asked.

Ye Tonger, however, said, "Even in Older Sister Xin Lian's condition, this Husband who lives with wifes family is still so good to her!"

"If we also married him, how much would he dote on us!"

"The women of our Ye family are inherently tasked with continuing the family line; we have no freedom to speak of!"

"Who we marry doesn't matter. If we could really marry a man who dotes on us so much, wouldn't that be good?"

"You!" Ye Yinger was speechless for a moment, but it seemed Ye Tonger's words also made sense.

However, Ye Yinger quickly remembered something Ye Tonger had said earlier!

"If both of us married him, could he handle it?"

Thinking this, Ye Yinger's cheeks also turned red...

Meanwhile, Ye An, after getting the Beauty Restoration Pill, hurried back home.

However, just as he arrived at his doorstep, he saw several maids he had never seen before leaving.

Xiao Qiu and Xiao Chun were at the door seeing them off.

Seeing that both of them looked a bit off, Ye An stepped forward and asked, "What's going on?"

Seeing that it was Ye An, Xiao Qiu said helplessly, "Young Master, you're finally back. You should go and persuade Young Miss!"

"Persuade? What do you mean?" Ye An asked, puzzled.

Xiao Chun explained, "The maids who just came are from the Patriarch's side. They informed us that Young Miss needs to go for a test tomorrow morning!"

"She'll go with the other women who have taken in a Husband who lives with wifes family to the ancestral hall for a pregnancy test!"

"Pregnancy test?" Ye An was startled, clearly not knowing what this was for!

Xiao Qiu explained, "According to the rules of our branch family, newly married women must undergo a pregnancy check within five days!"

"This is to detect who is pregnant early, so that we can respond promptly!"

"Pregnancy in the branch family is a big deal, so it must be taken seriously!"

Ye An was surprised to hear this.

This world of Cultivation is amazing; they have to be tested within five days of marriage. The pregnancy testing methods here are even more advanced than in his previous life!

Hearing this, Ye An understood.

Ye Xinlian was disfigured and rarely left her courtyard. Now, she had to attend such an event.

He figured she was somewhat unwilling to go!

Thinking this, Ye An smiled and said, "Don't worry!"

"I'll handle this!"

With that, Ye An entered the courtyard.

A moment later, in the room, Ye An saw Ye Xinlian. She was sitting at a table, inscribing a Formation.

However, the Formation she was inscribing was clearly not as good as last night's.

Ye An sat down beside her, took out the Beauty Restoration Pill, and placed it nearby.

Ye Xinlian was startled.

Ye An smiled and said, "I went to the back mountain this morning to catch Phoenix Feather Chickens and exchanged them for this!"

"From today onwards, I, Ye An, will cover all your Beauty Restoration Pills!"

"No one will ever be able to comment on my wife's appearance again!"

Ye Xinlian was stunned. She had thought Ye An also cared about her appearance.

But upon hearing Ye An say the words "my wife," Ye Xinlian's tears immediately burst forth.

She directly threw herself into Ye An's arms and began to cry.

Almost simultaneously, Ye An indeed heard the System's prompt!

"Ding! Congratulations to the host! Wife Ye Xinlian's favorability has increased to 100%!"

"Reward: 100 merit points!"
