16: Ye Xinlian was attracted by the beautiful face, and Ye An entered the fourth floor!

Hearing the System's voice, Ye An couldn't help but smile.

Indeed, a heart ailment requires heart medicine; giving Ye Xinlian the Beauty Restoration Pill immediately maxed out her favorability.

Although 100 merit points might not be enough to break through to the fourth layer of the Body Tempering Realm, it's better than nothing!

Thinking this, Ye An urged, "Madam, quickly take the pill!"

To be honest, Ye An also wanted to see what Ye Xinlian's true appearance looked like.

Although Ye Xinlian's face was disfigured for some reason, based on Ye An's seventy years of experience, her facial contours were not ugly.

Now, it remained to be seen how much her appearance could be restored after taking the Beauty Restoration Pill.

"Mm!"

Ye Xinlian nodded quickly, then picked up the Beauty Restoration Pill and put it in her mouth.

And as the Beauty Restoration Pill entered her mouth, Ye An soon saw a faint white light emanating from Ye Xinlian's face, which was covered by a veil.

As the white light gradually dissipated, Ye An vaguely saw that the condition of Ye Xinlian's face seemed to have truly changed!

"Husband, I'm going to remove my veil now!" Ye Xinlian said, her voice clearly still a little nervous.

Which girl doesn't care about her appearance?

Previously, Ye Xinlian felt more at ease with her veil on.

Now that she was actually going to take it off, she naturally felt a bit unaccustomed.

Ye An comforted her, "Don't worry, no matter what you look like, you will always be my Madam!"

These were Ye An's heartfelt words.

Unlike those young people, he only found a wife at nearly seventy years old.

This naturally made him cherish her more than the average person.

Listening to Ye An's words, Ye Xinlian seemed to have made some kind of decision.

She slowly untied the veil from her face.

However, what she didn't expect was that as she slowly untied the veil from her face, Ye An instantly froze in place.

Although he didn't know what Ye Xinlian looked like when her face was disfigured before, the face that appeared before Ye An now was simply perfect.

Whether it was the contours, the lines, or even the overall temperament, it was comparable to a top-tier female star from his previous life.

"Husband? Is Xin Lian not beautiful?"

Seeing Ye An's stiff expression, Ye Xinlian couldn't help but ask worriedly.

Ye An came back to his senses and quickly said, "No... it's not!"

"Madam, you are so beautiful, how could you possibly..."

"If you are self-conscious about your looks, then all other women might as well just kill themselves!"

Ye Xinlian, hearing this, playfully chided him, "Husband is joking again. How could Xin Lian not know what her own appearance is like!"

"Although the Beauty Restoration Pill can temporarily repair injuries, this is only temporary after all!"

Ye An, however, waved his hand and said, "You truly know nothing about your own appearance!"

"Let me ask you, when you used the Beauty Restoration Pill before, have you ever revealed your appearance in front of outsiders?"

Ye Xinlian shook her head. "I didn't dare! I was afraid..."

Ye Xinlian didn't finish, but Ye An understood completely.

He took Ye Xinlian's hand and said, "Don't worry, from tomorrow onwards, all the Husbands who live with their wives' families in the Ye Manor will realize that missing out on you was their biggest loss!"

"Husband!"

Ye Xinlian looked at Ye An, evidently still not daring to believe his words.

Ye An smiled and said, "Don't worry, tomorrow for the pregnancy test, I'll go with you!"

"Believe me, the entire Ye family will be stunned by your beauty!"

Although Ye Xinlian was still a bit worried, seeing Ye An's serious expression, she still nodded.

"Husband must be hungry too, I'll go make lunch for Husband right away!"

Ye Xinlian said, about to get up, but Ye An directly pulled her into his embrace.

"From now on, let the servants do the cooking!"

"You don't need to worry about it!"

"I am indeed hungry now, but compared to food, I believe Madam's beauty can fill me more!"

After saying that, Ye An picked up Ye Xinlian, causing her cheeks to turn bright red as she shyly said, "In broad daylight..."

Ye An paused and said, "Wasn't it you, Madam, who taught me about daytime?"

"I..."

Recalling the morning of the second day of their marriage, Ye Xinlian's pretty face turned even redder... Xiao Qiu and Xiao Chun, being the Second Madam's maids, were also very clever.

Seeing that Ye An and Ye Xinlian hadn't come out for a long time, they understood what was happening.

Immediately, the two ran off to prepare lunch.

Finally, even Ye Shan came out, smiling, and actively helped prepare lunch... When Ye An and Ye Xinlian reappeared, it was already two hours later.

Ye Xinlian's cheeks were flushed red, while Ye An was satisfied, having gained 40 merit points.

This brought his accumulated merit points directly to 150 points!

After lunch, Ye Xinlian returned to her room to engrave Formations.

And Ye An, at his usual spot in the courtyard, began to Cultivate.

Although he didn't know if 150 merit points would allow him to break into the fourth layer of the Body Tempering Realm, having merit points meant they should prioritize Cultivation.

Raising a child required a full three hundred merit points, but fortunately, it wouldn't be needed for the first three months.

As for auxiliary professions like Formation, just a small investment was enough.

In the world of cultivation, one's own strength was paramount.

Although Ye An had the Branching System, it was still the same.

While the Longyang Technique could make him very strong in bed, ultimately, if his own vitality couldn't keep up, it would be useless.

And improving his own strength was the fastest way to increase vitality.

For example, Ye An started Cultivating at seventy, but now his physical fitness was comparable to a thirty-year-old youth.

This was the benefit of increased strength!

At the third layer of the Body Tempering Realm, each Cultivation session required an investment of 30 merit points, but the effect could be boosted to 8 times!

Ye An was actually quite satisfied with this speed.

However, what Ye An himself didn't expect was that when he, with a 'let's try it' attitude, invested 120 merit points and operated the Qi Gathering Art four times, he actually broke into the fourth layer of the Body Tempering Realm.

Adding the Cultivation session from last night, it meant he had advanced one Realm layer after five Cultivation sessions.

And at this point, Ye An had only 30 merit points left in his hand!

So, Ye An took advantage of Ye Xinlian engraving Formations in the evening to try something.

He wanted to see if these 30 merit points could elevate his Formation skills to the level of a First Grade Formation Master.

However, upon hearing the System's prompt, Ye An was dumbfounded.

"Ding! To become a First Grade Formation Master, a total of 100 merit points are required!"

"You are currently short by 70 points. Do you wish to continue investing?"

Hearing the System's prompt, Ye An decisively gave up.

Since it wasn't enough, he was too lazy to invest. After all, his current speed of earning merit points wasn't fast.

So, every point had to be carefully calculated.

It wouldn't be too late to invest later when he married a few more wives and earned merit points faster.

Thinking this, Ye An decisively gave up on further improving his Formation skills.

Perhaps it was the daytime's strenuous activity that made Ye Xinlian go to bed early that night.

Ye An didn't bother her either.

Thinking about having to undergo a pregnancy test in front of so many people tomorrow, Ye An also felt a bit nervous for Ye Xinlian.

However, just as Ye An had said before, with Ye Xinlian's beauty, she would definitely only inspire admiration and praise.

Going to the pregnancy test tomorrow was the perfect opportunity to clear Ye Xinlian's name!
