71: Chapter 71 Come to my room tonight

In a secret chamber on Longmai Mountain.

Ye Changge sat cross-legged, his upper body bare. A faint white heat steamed from his lean and well-proportioned physique.

His muscle lines were smooth yet not exaggerated, with a faint, precious light flowing beneath his skin.

He slowly exhaled a long, turbid breath; the breath was long and thick, creating a slight echo in the quiet room.

"Hoo... This Kunpeng Refining Art is truly overbearing. Its efficiency in refining external objects is far higher than ordinary Body Refining techniques."

He opened his eyes, a sharp light flashing through them before fading, and he examined his body with satisfaction.

Over the past few days, he had used the Kunpeng Refining Art to consume and refine all the Magical Artifacts he didn't need—those kindly sponsored by the "Black Fiend Trio" and a few others of decent grade rewarded by the System earlier.

Although, due to the material and spiritual power limitations of the Magical Artifacts themselves, he could not directly break through to the first Realm of the Kunpeng Refining Art, his accumulation was already quite deep, and he was not far from a Breakthrough.

More importantly, the Life Qi obtained from refining had greatly tempered his physique.

Now, his physique had undergone a qualitative leap in strength and toughness compared to before his Foundation Establishment.

It could be described as "lean when clothed, muscular when bare."

"Not bad, not bad."

Ye Changge stood up and stretched his muscles and bones. A dense, popping sound like roasted beans came from within his body, full of a sense of power.

"In terms of looks, your husband is already excellent, and now my physique has caught up. Cultivating both internally and externally—this is the aura that a perfect Dao Foundation should have!"

He narcissistically admired himself for a moment before casting a Cleanliness Spell, changing into a comfortable green robe, and pushing open the door to walk out of the secret chamber.

It had been nearly a year since he arrived at Longmai Mountain, and the Ye Family had taken root here and was flourishing.

Ye Changge felt that a mature Family needed to establish some regular meeting Systems.

For example, an annual "Family Assembly."

Firstly, to summarize annual affairs and plan for future development;

Secondly, to allow the younger generation of the clan, including the children who were growing up day by day, to enhance their sense of belonging and participation in the Family;

Thirdly... it would also provide a formal platform for all the wives, concubines, and clansmen to communicate, avoiding poor information flow in the backyard that could lead to unnecessary grudges.

However, at the thought of hosting such meetings involving personnel, resources, and development direction, Ye Changge felt a headache. There were too many trifles, which could easily delay his Cultivate and... other important matters.

"Hmm, this kind of 'routine' work of daily Family management should be left to Shiyin."

He quickly made a decision.

"She has a steady temperament, handles matters fairly, and is a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, enough to convince the masses. As for me, I will grasp the general direction, provide resource support, and step out to hold the fort at critical moments."

Thinking it over, he decided to discuss this with Lu Shiyin later.

He strolled to the square in front of the main hall, where a dedicated martial arts training ground had been cleared. Dozens of children of various ages were practicing basic fists, kicks, and footwork under the guidance of several clan Body Cultivators or Late Stage of Qi Refining elders.

Ye Changge watched from afar, a smile appearing on his face.

He valued the Foundation cultivation of his offspring, but he did not force every child to take the exact same path of bitter cultivation.

Providing the best resources and environment, and guiding them to discover their own interests and talents, was the long-term solution.

Looking at the children's serious yet lively appearances, his heart was filled with gratification.

After watching for a while, he turned and walked towards the "Dragon Transformation Lake" on the mountainside.

By the lake, an exquisite small painted pleasure boat swayed gently with the waves.

At the bow of the boat, two beautiful figures, one in pink and one in blue, stood side by side; they were none other than Liu Yiyi and Lu Shiqing.

Liu Yiyi was wearing a pink dress, looking delicate and bright. She was pointing at a spot in the lake, saying something to Lu Shiqing beside her with a sweet smile.

Lu Shiqing was in a water-blue martial outfit, which set off her exquisite figure. She was holding a fishing rod, pouting in mock anger, seemingly complaining that the fish had been scared away.

As the two first principal wives Ye Changge had married,

one innocent and gentle, the other headstrong and straightforward, their personalities were simple and complementary, and their relationship was excellent.

As the older sister, Lu Shiyin had to handle Family affairs every day and didn't have much time to play with her younger sister.

Ye Changge had entrusted the "important task" of looking after the "Dragon Transformation Lake" and observing and recording the status of the spiritual fish to the two of them, which could also be considered finding them something interesting to do.

"Husband!"

Sharp-eyed Liu Yiyi was the first to see Ye Changge stepping across the waves. She immediately waved her hand in surprise, her eyes filled with attachment.

Ye Changge laughed, his figure flashed, and he landed lightly on the bow of the pleasure boat.

He reached out his arms and pulled both his beautiful wives into his embrace at the same time.

Lu Shiqing also turned her head, saw him, and deliberately pouted:

"Hmph, you scared all my fish away! I just felt like a big one was about to take the bait!"

"My fault, my fault."

He smiled and apologized.

Liu Yiyi happily curled up in his broad, warm embrace, like a kitten that had found its home.

Lu Shiqing was kissed, her face slightly flushed.

She glared at him coquettishly, but her body leaned in very honestly.

"Just apologizing isn't enough," Lu Shiqing raised her little face and blinked slyly, "Husband, you have to compensate me!"

"Oh? What compensation does Wife Shiqing want?"

Ye Changge followed her lead readily.

Lu Shiqing rolled her eyes, leaned into his ear, her breath like an orchid, and whispered in a voice only the three of them could hear:

"Hmm... come to my room tonight."

After saying this, she blushed first.

Ye Changge felt a surge of heat in his heart. He looked down at Liu Yiyi, who was playing the ostrich in his arms, and also leaned into her ear:

"Yiyi, come too, okay?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Yiyi's earlobes turned completely red instantly. She buried her whole face in his chest, nodded almost imperceptibly, and let out a "Mn" as faint as a mosquito's buzz.

After cuddling for a moment, Ye Changge remembered the important business. He coughed lightly, sat down by the boat's side while holding the two women, and said seriously:

"Yiyi, Shiqing, you must take the 'task' I entrusted to you seriously.

The spiritual fish in this lake, especially if there appears that kind of 'Flood Dragon Fish King' that is particularly large in size, particularly full of spirituality, and might have a bump on its head or scales glowing with strange light,

you must notify me immediately."

Lu Shiqing asked curiously:

"Husband, what do you want that kind of big fish for? To make soup? Or for Alchemy?"

Liu Yiyi also raised her big, watery eyes to look at him.

Ye Changge smiled mysteriously and pinched their pretty faces:

"It's a secret for now. In short, it is very important to your husband, and it may also be very important to the future development of our Ye Family. So, I will leave it to my two good wives to keep an eye on the treasures in this lake for me, okay?"

Seeing his serious expression, the two women stopped asking and obediently replied in unison:

"Understood, Husband! We will definitely keep a close watch!"

Ye Changge smiled with satisfaction, holding the fragrant and soft beauties in his arms tighter,

and looking at the rippling lake, he still felt some anticipation for those "Dao Soldiers."

The lake breeze blew, the pleasure boat swayed gently, and the figures of one man and two women embracing were reflected in the sparkling water, quiet and beautiful.
