76: Chapter 76 Both Improved, Top-Tier Yellow Grade

Early morning.

Lin Yun woke up from a sweet slumber.

The moment his consciousness returned, the first thing he felt was the soft, warm sensation in his arms.

A faint, delicate fragrance lingered at the tip of his nose.

He looked down to see Chen Yuwei curled up in his arms like a lazy kitten, sleeping soundly.

Her bright face still retained the lingering charm of last night's pleasure.

An unfinished flush spread from her cheeks to her earlobes.

A few strands of sweat-dampened hair clung to her smooth forehead, her long eyelashes fluttered gently, and her brows and eyes were filled with the laziness and coquettishness that came after being nourished by love.

Her cherry lips were slightly pouted, and unconsciously, she rubbed against his chest.

Lin Yun's heart softened, and he couldn't help but leave a light kiss on her forehead.

Marrying Zhao Qingyue and Chen Yuwei in succession not only allowed him to enjoy the blessings of multiple wives, but the gains brought by the System were even greater.

Although both of their Martial Arts Talents were Yellow-Rank Low Grade, thanks to their outstanding appearance bonuses, their final System ratings both reached Yellow-Rank High Grade.

Marrying twice caused his Fertility Holy Body activation progress to jump to six percent in one go.

As he expected, for every wife recognized by the System he married, the progress steadily increased by one percent.

What surprised him even more was the improvement in his Martial Arts Talent.

The feedback brought by two consecutive wives with Yellow-Rank High Grade ratings finally allowed his Martial Arts Talent to cross that threshold, elevating it from Yellow-Rank High Grade to Yellow-Rank Top Grade!

Moreover, the experience bar had increased by five percent, which meant he was one step closer to the next major Rank, "Mystic Rank".

The accompanying "Yin-Yang Harmony Technique" also rose with the tide.

It upgraded from Yellow-Rank High Grade to Yellow-Rank Top Grade, and the effects and energy transfer efficiency during Dual Cultivation would inevitably reach a higher level.

The only thing that surprised Lin Yun slightly was that the System did not reward any blood-qi pills for these two marriages.

He pondered for a moment and understood:

If the System rewarded a first-grade blood essence pill for marrying a bride of Yellow-Rank High Grade, it would be useless to him, a Second-Rank Martial Artist.

But the System's rating criteria might not be high enough to directly reward a second-grade blood essence pill.

Thus, the System changed the "currency" — rewarding five pieces of [Universe Crystal] each time.

These [Universe Crystal]s were good things!

Formed from pure Universe energy, they were hard currency, whether used for assisting Cultivation, breaking through a Bottleneck, or as energy for certain equipment.

Although the ten pieces in his hands were Low Grade, their value was definitely high, especially in a small place like Jiangcheng, where they were rare.

The beauty in his arms moved, her long eyelashes fluttered, and she slowly opened her eyes.

After the confusion of waking up faded, she saw Lin Yun right in front of her.

A sweet smile immediately rippled in Chen Yuwei's eyes, and she lazily stretched out her arms, hooked them around his neck, and offered a light kiss, tinged with morning hoarseness and dependency.

"Morning, Husband~" Her voice was soft, filled with the laziness of satisfaction.

"Morning, my Yuwei." Lin Yun kissed her back, his eyes full of tenderness.

For the next three days, Lin Yun was almost completely immersed in the gentle embrace of his new marriage.

During the day, he accompanied the newlyweds Zhao Qingyue and Chen Yuwei to get familiar with the manor, drank tea and chatted with his wives, and walked in the garden.

At night, he enjoyed the blessings of multiple wives, immersed in the ultimate pleasure of "hard Cultivation" and the wonderful steady improvement of his cultivation base.

Martial arts? He certainly hadn't "properly" practiced it alone at all.

Of course, one couldn't say he hadn't practiced at all.

Every night's "intense exercise" was in itself the most efficient Cultivation of the "Yin-Yang Harmony Technique".

The improvement from this kind of Cultivation was countless times faster than simple hard work.

So Lin Yun "indulged" for a few days with a clear conscience.

Morning, dining room. The sun was bright, and an exquisite breakfast covered the long table.

Everyone took their seats one after another.

The two new brides, Zhao Qingyue and Chen Yuwei, still had lingering blushes on their faces and a hint of the coquettish laziness of having just become wives.

When their eyes occasionally met Lin Yun's, they would quickly look away like startled fawns, their earlobes slightly red.

They clearly hadn't fully recovered from the sweet yet "tiring" adjustment period of the past few days.

In contrast, the four "Seniors", including Su Yingxue, seemed much more composed.

They were eating gracefully while chatting in low voices.

Occasionally, they would tease the two shy new sisters, making their cheeks even redder.

"Husband," Su Yingxue swallowed a mouthful of porridge and spoke.

"After breakfast, shall we go find Sister Wen Yan? You haven't gone to 'harass' Sister Wen Yan in a long time."

Lin Yun suddenly realized: "That's right, I've been so busy for the past half month, I haven't really seen Sister Wen Yan."

Thinking about it carefully, ever since Wen Yan returned from outside last time and attended the wedding, she had gone into seclusion again, and he had been busy marrying and...

Hmm, he had indeed neglected this tsundere guardian.

After the meal, in front of the independent small building where Wen Yan lived.

Lin Yun went up and knocked on the door: "Sister Wen Yan? Are you there? We've come to see you."

It was quiet inside, with no response at all.

Lin Yun knocked a few more times, but there was still no movement.

Su Yingxue stepped forward, her voice sweet: "Sister Wen Yan~ It's me, Yingxue. Can you open the door, please? We brought you some delicious snacks~"

Still no reaction.

Finally, Lin Qianxi was pushed out.

The little girl was a bit embarrassed, but she still knocked on the door gently and said in a small voice: "Sister Wen Yan, it's Qianxi. We've all come to see you together."

This time, there was finally movement inside the door.

After a while, the door was pulled open with a "swish".

Wen Yan was wearing a neat white training uniform, leaning against the door frame with her arms crossed.

There was no expression on her face, her eyes swept over everyone, and finally landed on Lin Yun, her tone cold: "Yo, isn't this our busy, newlywed Young Master of the Lin family?"

"Why did you decide to grace this humble abode of mine with your presence today?"

This jealousy could practically pickle vegetables.

Lin Yun rubbed his nose, just about to go up and say something nice.

Su Yingxue had already taken a step forward, pouncing over like a little butterfly and clinging to Wen Yan's arm.

"Sister Wen Yan~ Your jealousy is practically overflowing!"

"You little girl! What nonsense are you talking about!"

Wen Yan's face flushed "bang" red, both shy and annoyed.

She "slapped" away Lin Yun, who was trying to get close, with one hand.

With the other hand, she unceremoniously pinched Su Yingxue's soft cheeks and pulled them gently.

"I think your skin is itching! How dare you tease your Sister Wen Yan!"

"Ouch! It hurts, it hurts! Husband~ help!"

Su Yingxue "screamed" in cooperation, but her eyes were smiling like crescent moons.

Lin Yun wanted to save her, but was pinned to the spot by a glare from Wen Yan.

After some joking and commotion, Wen Yan finally "reluctantly" calmed down a bit and stepped aside to let everyone into the room.

Zhao Qingyue and Chen Yuwei followed behind, watching Wen Yan, who had shed her aloofness and was throwing a tantrum like a little girl.

They had a new understanding of this guardian of the Lin family.

So, even someone as powerful as Senior Wen Yan could have such... hmm, cute side?

Shen Youqing walked beside them, smiling: "See? I told you, right? Sister Wen Yan is actually very easy to get along with, it's just that sometimes she's a bit... contrary."
