49: Chapter 49 Wen Yan's Hasty Escape

Lin Yun thought about it and decided not to hide it anymore.

He said to Su Yingxue, "Yingxue, explain it to Sister Wen Yan."

Su Yingxue nodded, turned to Wen Yan, and said seriously:

"Sister Wen Yan, actually, Husband has a special Physique—the [Fertility Holy Body]."

"This Physique not only greatly increases the probability of conception, but it also allows for Dual Cultivation when getting intimate with Husband, improving both parties' cultivation and Martial Arts Talent."

She paused and added, "And the more people there are, the better the effect."

"After Sister Youqing and I got pregnant, we could only take a Medicinal Pill once in a long while, but our strength still improved rapidly this month. It's because when we were... doing that with Husband, we could improve through Dual Cultivation."

After hearing this, Wen Yan was completely stunned.

She looked at Lin Yun, her eyes full of disbelief. "So the reason you were in such a hurry to marry after graduation... was because of this?"

Lin Yun nodded. "Yes. After my mentor pointed out my Physique, he told me this path was the most suitable for me."

"Mentor? Could it be that the 'Five Hearts Toward Heaven Method' was given to you by that mentor?"

"Correct."

"So the reason you could progress so quickly... is all because your mentor said you have the [Fertility Holy Body]?"

"Exactly."

Wen Yan was dumbfounded; it was hard not to believe it.

She knew better than anyone what Lin Yun's talent used to be.

A Martial Arts Trash, his blood-qi value stuck at 48 points for several years; no matter how many Medicinal Pills he took, it was useless.

Without a heaven-sent Opportunity, he would never have been able to step onto the path of martial arts in this lifetime.

But she never expected that this "Opportunity" would actually be a special Physique!

[Fertility Holy Body]... Wen Yan searched her mind for this term.

In all her years in the martial arts circle, she had heard of various special Physiques—

Fire Spirit Body, Ice Skin and Jade Bones, innate Divine Power...

But...

This [Fertility Holy Body] was the only one she was hearing of for the first time.

Yet, Lin Yun's progress over the past six months was real.

From a Martial Arts Trash with 48 blood-qi points to a first-grade Late Stage Martial Artist with a thirty-two thousand kilogram punch, it only took half a year!

And then there were Su Yingxue and Shen Youqing.

No, add Wu Qingya to that.

All three were Martial Artists, yet not long after marrying Lin Yun, they all became pregnant.

Before, she had racked her brain but couldn't figure it out.

It seems it was because of this [Fertility Holy Body].

Furthermore, the Martial Arts Talent of the three women wasn't particularly good.

Su Yingxue and Shen Youqing hadn't even passed the entrance exam for a Martial Arts University.

Although Wu Qingya had gotten in, she didn't have the money for Medicinal Pills; after a year at a Martial Arts University, she was still only at the first-grade Early Stage.

Although all three later took Medicinal Pills and made great progress.

But for the past month or so, because they were pregnant, Su Yingxue and Shen Youqing hadn't been refining their blood-qi and thus hadn't taken any Medicinal Pills.

But their progress...

Without a reasonable explanation, none of this would make sense.

And now, the explanation was right in front of her—the [Fertility Holy Body], improvement through Dual Cultivation!

Wen Yan took a deep breath and confirmed again, "So the reason you two have been able to progress so quickly recently without taking Medicinal Pills is also because of this?"

She didn't ask Wu Qingya, because Wu Qingya had taken a first-grade blood essence pill just a few days after the wedding.

She took another one a month later, which was just last week.

Whereas Su Yingxue and Shen Youqing couldn't refine their blood-qi after getting pregnant, so they hadn't taken any Medicinal Pills for a long time, yet their strength had still improved significantly this month.

Su Yingxue and Shen Youqing nodded simultaneously, confirming Wen Yan's question.

"It's true, Sister Wen Yan," Shen Youqing said softly.

"Even though my cultivation time has decreased since getting pregnant, my cultivation base is indeed slowly improving. I thought it was an illusion before, but now it seems..."

"It's even more obvious on my end!" Su Yingxue said excitedly.

"I've hardly cultivated at all this past month, yet my punch strength has still increased by several thousand kilograms! Plus, I feel like my understanding of the Cultivation Technique has deepened!"

Seeing how certain they both were, the doubt in Wen Yan's heart lessened a bit more.

Seeing this, Su Yingxue seized the Opportunity and intensified her "offensive":

"Sister Wen Yan, why don't you just marry Husband directly! Maybe on the wedding night, the first time you get intimate with Husband, you'll be able to Breakthrough through Dual Cultivation!"

Her eyes sparkled, as if she could already see the scene:

"Think about it, Sister Wen Yan, you've been stuck at a Bottleneck for over three years. Maybe it's just because you're missing such a catalyst! And Husband's [Fertility Holy Body] might just be that catalyst!"

Shen Youqing also persuaded gently:

"Sister Wen Yan, I know Yingxue's suggestion might be a bit sudden. But Husband is really wonderful, and maybe you really will Breakthrough..."

Although Wu Qingya wasn't as bold as the other two, she also plucked up the courage to join the persuasion effort:

"Sister Wen Yan, Husband... he truly likes you. And if this can help Sister Wen Yan Breakthrough, wouldn't that be the best of both worlds?"

The three women talked one after another, making Wen Yan's head spin.

"Wait, wait, wait, wait!"

Wen Yan raised her hand to stop them, a rare trace of panic appearing on her face.

"You guys... let me sort this out..."

She stood up and paced back and forth in the pavilion, muttering to herself:

"[Fertility Holy Body]... improvement through Dual Cultivation... Breakthrough on the wedding night..."

This idea was too shocking, and too... embarrassing!

She, a second-grade Perfection Martial Artist, actually had to rely on "marrying and Dual Cultivation" to Breakthrough her Bottleneck?

If word of this got out, where would Wen Yan hide her face?

But deep down, a voice was saying:

What if... what if it's true?

Stuck at a Bottleneck for three years—if she could really Breakthrough because of this...

No, no, no!

Wen Yan shook her head, tossing the thought out of her mind.

She was Wen Yan!

How could she just marry someone just because she wanted to Breakthrough?

But... that kid is indeed not bad...

Argh! What am I thinking!

A rare blush crept onto Wen Yan's face.

Lin Yun and the three women looked at Wen Yan's rare panicked state and couldn't help but want to laugh, but they didn't dare to make a sound.

"Sister Wen Yan, Yingxue and the others are just joking,"

Lin Yun finally spoke, his tone serious.

"According to our agreement, I can only marry you after I've defeated you fair and square. This is the agreement between us, and it's my promise; it won't change."

"Of course, if Sister Wen Yan wants to..."

These words calmed Wen Yan down slightly.

She glanced at Lin Yun, a complex mix of emotions surging in her heart.

This kid... at least has some principles.

But Su Yingxue had no intention of giving up:

"Husband! How can this be a joke! Sister Wen Yan has been stuck at a Bottleneck for over three years. If there's a way to help her Breakthrough, why wait?"

"Exactly, Husband."

"You and Sister Wen Yan both like each other."

"Since Sister Wen Yan is going to marry into the family sooner or later anyway, what's the difference between sooner and later?"

"Sister Wen Yan... how about... there's no time like the present?"

Wen Yan's head was throbbing from the three women's words.

She looked at the "family of four" before her, she suddenly felt like a "sheep entering a tiger's den."

No! I have to get out of here!

"You... you all..."

Wen Yan pointed at them, wanting to say something, but found she couldn't get any words out.

In the end, she simply stomped her foot, turned around, and left, leaving behind a sentence:

"You... you should still focus on improving your strength and defeat me first! As for this method... I'll sort it out first and see if it's actually true!"

Before her voice had even faded, she had already vanished around the corner of the garden path.

Her departing figure looked, no matter how you sliced it, like she was... fleeing in panic.

The pavilion was silent for a few seconds, and then—

"Pfft—" Su Yingxue was the first to burst out laughing.

"Hahaha..." Lin Yun couldn't help but laugh loudly as well.

Although Shen Youqing and Wu Qingya covered their mouths, their eyes were full of mirth.

It was the first time they had ever seen the always calm and composed Wen Yan look so flustered.

"It looks like there's a chance; Sister Wen Yan is tempted~"

"Yeah, in the past, she definitely would have refused outright or given Husband a beating. But this time... she just ran away."

Lin Yun looked in the direction Wen Yan had left, the corners of his mouth curling up slightly.

Perhaps... it won't be long before the Lin family has another mistress?
