46: The wives and concubines lived in harmony, and Qing'er was about to give birth.

When Chu He returned to the Chu Family courtyard in Qingyang City with Su Qingxue and Su Mo on a Flying Sword, it was already the next morning.

Lin Waner and Qing'er had received the news long ago and were waiting expectantly at the entrance with a group of servants.

When they saw Chu He return safely, accompanied by a stunning woman who looked like a celestial fairy untouched by the mortal world, both women's feelings were somewhat complicated.

Especially Qing'er; she came from a humble background, and although she was now the Chu Family's Mistress, the inferiority complex in her bones was still hard to eliminate.

Seeing Su Qingxue's beauty score of 95 and her unique temperament as a Formation master, she instinctively felt a bit uneasy.

Lin Waner fared much better; she was a lady from a prominent Family and the head of the Pill Hall, possessing a powerful aura.

She sized up Su Qingxue, a flash of amazement crossing her eyes.

She knew that her husband's trip this time was to find new "sisters" for the Family.

The woman before her was top-tier in both appearance and temperament; her talent was surely extraordinary as well.

"Husband, this must be Sister Su?" Lin Waner stepped forward gracefully and spoke with a smile.

Chu He nodded and introduced them: "Qingxue, this is Lin Waner, my equal wife who manages the Family's Pill Hall. This is Qing'er, my Mistress, in charge of household affairs."

Then he said to Lin Waner and Qing'er: "This is Su Qingxue; she will be part of our Family from now on. Beside her is her father, Great Master Su Mo. In the future, our Family's guardian Formation will depend on him."

"Sister Waner, Sister Qing'er." Although Su Qingxue had a cold personality and was not good at socializing, she knew her manners and quickly bowed to the two of them.

She was also a bit nervous, fearing that as a "latecomer," she wouldn't be welcomed.

After all, in many large families, the jealousy and infighting between wives and concubines were more brutal than battles on a field.

However, to her surprise, both Lin Waner and Qing'er's reactions were very friendly.

"Sister Su, please don't be so formal; we're all Family now." Lin Waner warmly took her hand and smiled, "Husband told us about you long ago, saying you're a once-in-ten-thousand-years Genius in the Dao of Formations. Come in quickly; you must be exhausted after such a long journey."

Qing'er also overcame her nervousness and gave Su Qingxue a gentle smile: "Sister Su, welcome home. The rooms have already been prepared for you and Uncle Su; they're the best south-facing courtyards."

Looking at this harmonious scene, Chu He nodded with satisfaction.

What he wanted was a united and harmonious harem that worked together for the Family's prosperity, not a daily drama of intrigue like 'Empresses in the Palace'.

Clearly, his women were very sensible and had a good sense of the big picture.

They all understood that their honor and disgrace were tightly bound to the entire Chu Family and to the man named Chu He.

If one prospers, all prosper; if one suffers, all suffer.

Seeing these three women—each a phoenix among people in terms of appearance, temperament, and cultivation—all showing great respect to his son-in-law and living in harmony, Su Mo was filled with emotion.

Just how much charm and skill did his son-in-law have to make so many outstanding women fall for him and get along so well?

He was now full of confidence in the future of the Chu Family.

After settling the Su father and daughter, Chu He's life returned to a brief period of peace.

During the day, he would guide the Family's younger generation in their cultivation or play with his son, Chu Tian.

Little Chu Tian could now say some simple words. His favorite thing to do was ride on the back of the guardian Divine Beast, the Azure Phoenix, parading around the courtyard while shouting, "Fly, fly! Quick, fly, fly!"

The Foundation Establishment Stage Azure Phoenix Divine Beast was practically in tears, having essentially become a babysitting nanny.

His daughter, Chu Yuning, finally woke up after sleeping for several days.

After waking up, she seemed to have forgotten her "feat" of killing a Nascent Soul Old Monster with a single finger, returning to being an ordinary baby who only made "yi-ya" sounds.

But Chu He could clearly feel that the Dao charm within his daughter was more restrained and profound than before.

Clearly, that outburst was also a transformation and growth for her.

And his three wives each had their own busy tasks.

With Chu He's resource allocation, Lin Waner's cultivation had progressed by leaps and bounds, reaching the Mid Foundation Establishment stage. She managed the Pill Hall methodically, producing various basic Medicinal Pills like an assembly line, allowing the Chu Family's disciples to Cultivate at incredible speeds.

Qing'er focused on her pregnancy while managing the entire Chu Family's inner household perfectly; everyone from top to bottom respected her.

The newly arrived Su Qingxue, after adapting to the new environment, immediately threw herself into her "work."

She received massive resources that Chu He had "extorted" from the Chen Family, along with some Advanced Formation Materials exchanged from the System, and began researching how to envelop the entire Qingyang City under a super Formation.

She and her father, Su Mo, almost forgot to eat and sleep, spending every day deducing, calculating, and drawing incredibly complex formation diagrams.

Chu He would occasionally visit her to share some "Advanced" theories obtained from the System, which always gave Su Qingxue a sudden realization, making her look at him with increasing obsession and admiration.

Of course, at night, Chu He wasn't idle either.

For the great revival of the Family and to have many children and blessings, he worked diligently, "plowing" back and forth between his three wives' rooms.

He gave "special attention" to the newcomer, Su Qingxue, in particular.

After all, the one in her womb was an SS-grade potential "Innate Array Spirit Soul," which was crucial to the Chu Family's future ultimate defense.

Under the nourishment of Chu He's unlimited Spirit Medicine and Dual Cultivation, the aura of the fetus in Su Qingxue's womb became increasingly stable and powerful.

Just like that, in the blink of an eye, another six months passed.

One day, while Chu He was in his study researching the construction blueprints for the "fortune gathering altar" and wondering where to get those two types of fifth-tier formation plates...

A maid suddenly ran in, panicked.

"Family Head! It's bad! The Mistress... the Mistress... she's about to give birth!"

"What?!"

Chu He stood up abruptly, his figure flickering as he vanished instantly from the spot.

When he arrived at Qing'er's courtyard, it was already in a state of chaos.

Midwives and maids were rushing in and out, carrying basins of hot water and bloody water, with tension written on everyone's faces.

"Husband..."

Lin Waner and Su Qingxue also rushed over upon hearing the news; seeing Chu He, they approached him with worry on their faces.

"What happened? Isn't the due date still a few days away?" Chu He asked with a frown.

"I don't know," Lin Waner shook her head. "Just now, Sister Qing'er said her stomach hurt, and then... it began."

Chu He's powerful Divine Sense instantly enveloped the entire delivery room.

He could clearly sense that Qing'er's aura was somewhat disordered, and the fetuses in her womb were emitting anxious and powerful life fluctuations.

"Don't worry, nothing will go wrong," Chu He said in a deep voice.

He was now at the Middle Stage of the Golden Core and had experience from before, so he was much calmer than when Qing'er gave birth to Chu Tian.

He walked straight to the door of the delivery room and shouted inside, "Granny Wang, how is the situation inside?"

Soon, the Midwife Granny Wang ran out drenched in sweat. Seeing Chu He, she quickly bowed: "Reporting to the Family Head, the Mistress... the Mistress is carrying twins this time. One of them is not positioned correctly, so... so the labor is a bit difficult."

Twins?!

Chu He was stunned, followed by a surge of wild joy in his heart.

Buy one get one free?

This really is an unexpected pleasant surprise!

However, the word "difficult labor" made his heart leap into his throat.

"Just say what you need! Thousand-year ginseng, ten-thousand-year lingzhi—as long as you can ensure the safety of both mother and children, you can use anything from the storehouse!" Chu He said in a deep voice.

"Yes, yes, yes!" Granny Wang nodded repeatedly and hurried back inside.

Time passed bit by bit. From the delivery room, Qing'er's suppressed cries of pain could be heard from time to time, making Chu He outside feel anxious as if his heart were on fire.

He wished he could kick the door open and rush in to help her with his magic power.

But he knew he couldn't.

In childbirth, external intervention can sometimes have the opposite effect.

He could only wait.

Just then, the sky suddenly changed color!
