145: Chapter 145 Su Bai's Helplessness

"Sleep together?"

"Serve me?"

Su Bai was instantly left between laughter and tears.

What kind of messy thoughts are going through this girl's head?

Does she really think I'm some sort of lecherous fiend?

Although this girl would certainly grow up to be a beauty, with her current small frame, would he even be human if he actually laid a hand on her?

Su Bai laughed softly, and the trace of lust in his heart was diluted quite a bit by these innocent words.

He reached out and playfully pinched Li Qing's petite nose, saying with a smile:

"What are you thinking about all day in that little head of yours?"

Li Qing frowned from being pinched, but stubbornly refused to back down, allowing Su Bai to continue.

"When you grow up and are tall enough to reach Young Master's shoulder, then you can say things like that."

Su Bai released her and took the opportunity to rub her head, messing up her hair.

Afterwards, Su Bai turned and walked towards the room, waving his hand as he said:

"Alright, stop overthinking. Since Young Master brought you back, this Generals Mansion is your home, and no one will chase you away. Go back and rest quickly."

After speaking, Su Bai ignored Li Qing, who was standing there in a daze.

He turned and walked into the room.

Watching Su Bai's receding figure, Li Qing touched her nose, which had been pinched until it was slightly red, and the feeling of anxiety and insecurity in her heart suddenly vanished.

Young Master touched my head!

Young Master said this is my home!

Young Master also said to wait for me to grow up!

Li Qing's eyes glowed with an astonishing brilliance once more.

She secretly clenched her small fists.

I must eat more!

Grow up quickly!

Grow even fuller than Big Sister Su Mei, and then... then I can sleep together with Young Master!

Su Bai had one arm around Su Mei and was holding Zhou Qingying's hand with the other, with the blushing Lin sisters following behind, as he walked straight into the spacious bedroom.

The door was slammed shut.

Li Qing was still standing in the courtyard, preparing to return to her servant's quarters to rest.

Suddenly, a strange sound came from behind the door.

"Young Master... be gentle..."

"Mmph... bad person..."

Immediately after, the creaking sound of the wooden bed shaking violently followed.

Li Qing instantly froze in place.

An indescribable heat surged from the soles of her feet straight to the top of her head, and her small face instantly flushed as if it were about to drip blood, with even the tips of her ears steaming.

Although she was young, having survived in such a world, she had seen enough to know what was happening, even if she hadn't experienced it herself.

Of course, she knew what was happening inside the room.

Is this... what sleeping together means?

So... so it makes such a huge commotion?

Li Qing felt her heart beating so fast it was about to jump out of her throat.

Covering her burning cheeks with her hands, she didn't dare to listen for even another second, turned around and fled in a panic, ran back to her room in a flash, dove into her blankets, and covered her head tightly with the quilt.

But even so, those face-blushing sounds still lingered in her mind.

That night.

The bedroom in the Generals Mansion was filled with boundless spring scenery.

Su Bai, relying on the Yin Yang Dual Cultivation Art and his own powerful Physique, fought one against four, defeating the four beauties until they threw down their armor and begged for mercy repeatedly.

It wasn't until the sky began to brighten that this absurd battle finally came to an end.

The morning sunlight shone through the window lattice.

The four beauties were tangled around Su Bai like octopuses.

Their faces still bore the lingering flush of last night.

There were even tear stains at the corners of their eyes, clearly having been exhausted.

Su Bai slowly opened his eyes, feeling refreshed and filled with endless strength throughout his entire body.

Just then.

【Congratulations to the Host, Su Mei has successfully conceived.】

【Reward: Ten years of lifespan. (Current lifespan: twenty-eight years)】

【Reward Talent: Top-grade Fire Attribute Affinity.】

"Ding!"

The System notification sound rang in Su Bai's mind.

Su Bai's eyes widened sharply, and all sleepiness vanished instantly!

Pregnant?!

Su Mei is actually pregnant?!

He subconsciously turned his head to look at Su Mei, who was sleeping soundly with her head buried in his chest.

An indescribable ecstasy surged in Su Bai's heart.

In this man-eating chaotic world, the feeling of having one's own Bloodline is something that no power or influence can replace!

And the reward given by the System this time also excited Su Bai equally.

It gave another ten years of lifespan.

Adding these ten years, his current lifespan was now twenty-eight years.

If this continued, sooner or later he would be able to attain immortality.

Su Bai let out a long sigh of relief.

There was also the third item rewarded by the System.

Top-grade Fire Attribute Affinity!

At this moment, Su Bai felt a mysterious aura surging through his entire body.

His body felt as if it had been reshaped at this moment.

He closed his eyes, carefully sensing the surrounding Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi.

In the past, when he absorbed Spiritual Qi, he would swallow it whole, absorbing Spiritual Qi of all attributes, and then slowly refine it using his Cultivation Technique.

But now it was different.

In his perception, among the various Spiritual Qi drifting between Heaven and Earth.

Those fire-attribute Spiritual Qi that appeared crimson red, as if they had met their long-lost father, would automatically drill into his body without him needing to deliberately circulate his Cultivation Technique.

This feeling was too wonderful.

Su Bai slowly extended his right index finger, his mind moving slightly.

With a soft "puff" sound.

A cluster of crimson flames appeared out of thin air at his fingertip.

The flame did not leak any temperature, twisting extremely docilely according to Su Bai's will, as if it were a part of his body.

Top-grade affinity!

This meant that from now on, any fire-attribute Cultivation Technique or Spell he cultivated would yield twice the result with half the effort!

This was simply a Physique tailored for the Dragon Sea Pill Refining Art.

What is the hardest part of Alchemy?

It is controlling the fire!

If the heat is off by a hair's breadth, the resulting Medicinal Pill will be miles off the mark.

Now with this top-grade Fire Attribute Affinity, Su Bai was confident that as long as there were enough Materials, he could definitely refine top-grade Medicinal Pills!

"I hit the jackpot, this time I really hit the jackpot."

Su Bai looked at the dancing flame on his fingertip, his mouth grinning from ear to ear.

He carefully moved Su Mei's arm, which was draped over his waist, and gently planted a kiss on her smooth forehead.

This little fox is truly my lucky star.

...

The sun rose.

The political climate of Yunzhou City had changed in just one night.

The news of Su Bai taking the Prefect Li Han as his master spread like wildfire through the various camps of the Yunzhou Army.

For those low-level soldiers, this news was like a thunderclap on a clear day.

What were the low-level soldiers doing this for?

Wasn't it just for a full meal, for military pay to support their wives and children!

But what about before?

Those high-and-mighty generals, like the likes of Chang Feng, how many of them treated them like human beings?

Deducting military pay and drinking soldiers' blood was a daily occurrence.

When they went to the battlefield, they were used as cannon fodder to fill in their lives.

But this General Su Bai was different!

When he first took over the Local Militia Camp, he was handing out real gold and silver!

Ten taels of silver for killing one bandit!

Triple compensation for those killed in battle!

And when he went to the Quartermasters Office to collect grain and the quartermaster wouldn't give it to him, he dared to directly chop off the quartermaster's fingers.

What kind of courage was this?

This was truly treating the people under him as his own brothers.
