4: Chapter 4 Marrying Two?

"Huh? Brother, what did you say?"

Ye Changsheng hadn't heard clearly and looked up with a face full of confusion.

Ye Changge snapped back to reality, rubbed his younger brother's head, and put on an enigmatic expression.

"It's nothing. I said, your brother is now an Immortal."

"Really?!"

Ye Changsheng's eyes grew wide and round.

"Watch this."

Ye Changge smiled slightly, and with a thought...

...he mobilized the minuscule trace of Spiritual Qi within his Dantian.

He gathered it in his palm and then gently waved his hand in front of him.

Whoosh!!!

An extremely faint, almost invisible breeze swept past!!!

It blew a few strands of soft hair on Ye Changsheng's forehead, making him subconsciously squint and show his teeth!!!

"Wow! Amazing! There really is wind!"

Ye Changsheng exclaimed in awe, his eyes filled with admiration as he looked at Ye Changge.

"Brother is so amazing! I want to learn too when I grow up!"

"Good, you have ambition."

Ye Changge patted his small shoulder, thinking to himself.

It was a good thing his brother had this heart for the Dao; he would have to work harder to help him in the future.

After all, his brother didn't have a Golden Finger like his!

He absolutely must not let him indulge in female charms!

After saying a few more words to his brother...

Ye Changge continued toward the Council Hall.

He had to find his father quickly to arrange for someone to look after Xiao Cui.

In the blink of an eye, Ye Changge arrived at the Council Hall.

Before he even entered...

...he heard one sigh after another coming from inside.

He paused his steps, understanding in his heart.

This must be his father worrying about the Ye Family again.

Speaking of which, although the Ye Family of Biluo Lake was indeed a cultivation clan...

...by his generation, there was a serious lack of successors.

The Family only had one Foundation Establishment Old Ancestor overseeing things, and he was advanced in years with little Lifespan remaining.

Among the younger generation, few had Spiritual Roots.

Most of their cultivation bases were stuck at the Middle Stage of Qi Refining.

Even the few Foundation Establishment seeds had mostly met with untimely deaths.

Previously, Ye Changge couldn't help and could only worry in vain.

But now it was different; with the System in hand, he felt completely confident.

"Sooner or later, I will make the Ye Family an eternal Immortal Clan in the entire Zhao State, the entire Southern Border, and even the entire Cultivation World!"

He clenched his fist secretly, a light flashing in his eyes.

"Dad!"

Ye Changge pushed the door open and entered, his voice bright.

Ye Kaishan was rubbing his brow while facing a desk full of Clan Affairs Documents. Hearing the voice, he looked up, somewhat surprised.

"Hmm? Changge? Why are you here?"

"To tell you some good news, of course."

Ye Changge said with a smile.

Ye Kaishan glanced at him and gave a light chuckle.

"Hehe, is Xiao Cui pregnant?"

Ye Changge was stunned: "Huh? How did you know?"

"Your mother went to check this morning. Xiao Cui was vomiting severely. One look from an experienced Nanny, and it was obvious."

Ye Kaishan waved his hand, his tone quite calm.

"This is a good thing. We're finally adding to the Family."

Ye Changge scratched his head and didn't think much of it, then continued.

"That's only one piece of good news."

"There's another?"

Ye Kaishan looked up, waiting for him to continue.

Ye Changge intentionally paused. Seeing his father's "just say it already" expression, he felt a secret thrill.

Then, he concentrated his mind and calmed his breath.

He slowly released the trace of Spiritual Qi he had struggled to draw into his body over the past three months.

Although it was so faint it was almost undetectable...

...to a Cultivator, that tiny fluctuation of Spiritual Qi...

...was as clear as a firefly in the dark night.

Ye Kaishan's originally calm face suddenly froze the moment he sensed the Spiritual Qi.

He abruptly stood up from his chair, his voice changing pitch.

"This... this... Changge, you... what's going on?"

Ye Changge pretended to shrug: "I don't know either. It just appeared naturally as I grew up."

"It... it appeared just by growing up?"

Ye Kaishan's beard was almost curling up in shock.

"This thing can grow out on its own?"

"Anyway, as long as you know I'm doing the right thing, that's enough."

Ye Changge took the Opportunity to say.

"In the future, whatever I say, you must support me with all your might."

Ye Kaishan was still dazed, his mind filled with guesses like "My son has a Spiritual Root?"

"How did it come about?" "Could it be some kind of Late-manifesting Hidden Spiritual Root?" and other such speculations.

But among Cultivators, the word 'Opportunity' was most mysterious.

Since his son didn't want to say more, as a father, he wouldn't force the issue.

"Well, Changge..."

Ye Kaishan regained his composure and rubbed his hands.

"Since you've said so, I will definitely support you.

However, you know the Family's current situation. The maidservants all have their own duties; none are idle.

If you want to take a concubine, you might have to wait a while. I'll help you look for someone..."

"Oh, no need," Ye Changge grinned. "I already have candidates in mind."

Ye Kaishan froze for a moment upon hearing this, then his expression suddenly changed, and he slapped the table.

"You rebellious son! Those are your clan sisters and cousins; you must not mess around!"

Ye Changge didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"Dad! Where is your mind going? I'm talking about Changsheng's twin maidservants!"

Ye Kaishan: "..."

His old face turned red, and he coughed twice to hide his embarrassment.

"Ah, haha... I-I misunderstood."

Then he straightened his expression.

"Then go tell Changsheng yourself. If he makes a scene and complains to your mother, I won't be able to help."

"Sure,"

Ye Changge readily agreed and added another point.

"By the way, Dad, have someone get me some Talisman Paper, Spiritual Ink, and a Talisman Brush from the storehouse in a bit."

"What do you want those for?"

"Just to practice."

Although Ye Kaishan was puzzled, he didn't ask further and waved his hand.

"Go on, go on. Take the Token and collect them yourself."

Ye Changge turned and slipped away.

Ye Kaishan watched his son's departing back and shook his head, muttering.

"This kid has been acting mysterious lately... Oh well, let him mess around. As long as the child is happy."

Having said that, his gaze fell back on the pile of Clan Affairs Documents on the table, and he let out a long sigh.

Meanwhile.

Ye Changsheng, who had been triumphantly holding one hand each in the morning...

...was now standing in the courtyard empty-handed, his little mouth pouting so much it could hang an oil bottle.

His expression was as aggrieved as an incompetent husband.

Opposite him, Ye Changge was holding the hands of two bashful maidservants.

They were the twins, Liu Xiaoxing and Liu Xiaoyue.

Their two small hands were soft and boneless, feeling warm and delicate in his palms.

It made Ye Changge's heart heat up slightly, wishing he could immediately return to the room to "teach them a tune."

He cleared his throat and said to his younger brother, "Little brother Changsheng, I'm taking them with me."

Ye Changsheng blinked his eyes and couldn't help but ask in a childish voice:

"Brother, can you really teach Sister Xiao Xing and Sister Xiao Yue how to sing tunes?"

Hearing this, Xiao Xing and Xiao Yue's cheeks instantly turned crimson, and they both lowered their heads.

Ye Changge tightened his grip slightly, his smile warm.

"Really, really. Don't you worry. I promise to teach them thoroughly."

Having said that, he didn't stay any longer and led the two girls away.

...

That night, Ye Changge's courtyard was simply decorated for another small wedding celebration.

Xiao Cui was already pregnant and it wasn't convenient for her to overwork, but she still gently busied herself nearby, urging Ye Changge to enter the bridal chamber early.

Ye Changge pushed the door and entered.

Inside, the red candles flickered, and a faint fragrance filled the air.

Two slender figures sat on the edge of the bed, both dressed in well-fitting Wedding Attire.

Their faces were covered by Red Bridal Veils, and their small hands were nervously clasped together.
