20: Husband, don't be obsessed with women

The small courtyard at the foot of the mountain.

"Husband, why have you returned so late today?"

Lin Xue'er held Xiao Yuan in her arms, with the pregnant Da Shuang and Xiao Shuang beside her; seeing Liu Xuan return, they all came out to welcome him.

Looking at the moon-white Inner Sect Disciple magic robe on Liu Xuan, Lin Xue'er felt even more puzzled.

It was the standard magic robe for an Inner Sect Disciple, and there was even a pale cyan standard magic sword at his waist; could it be that Liu Xuan had been promoted to an Inner Sect Disciple?

But how could this be possible?!

There were fewer than six hundred Inner Sect Disciples in the Red Pine Sect, among whom over two hundred were Qi Refining Late Stage Cultivators, and the remaining three hundred were Genius Disciples with extremely high talent who had a great probability of becoming Qi Refining Late Stage Cultivators.

The four halls of Alchemy, Artifact, Talisman, and Array were quite special; as long as one's cultivation technique reached the First-Rank Mid-Grade, or if one had extremely high talent at the First-Rank Low Grade, one could also become an Inner Sect Disciple.

"Husband, have you become a First-Rank Talisman Master?"

Lin Xue'er could only think of this one possibility, but although Liu Xuan's Talisman talent was quite good, he had only recently become a Talisman Master apprentice, so how could he be promoted to a First-Rank Talisman Master so quickly?

"Xue'er is truly smart!" Liu Xuan took Xiao Yuan and walked into the house, saying with a smile: "That's right! Your husband is already a First-Rank Talisman Master, and I am also an Inner Sect Disciple of the Talisman Hall!"

Having been a kept man for so long, now that he had made it big, Liu Xuan felt a sense of vindication.

Da Shuang and Xiao Shuang covered their small mouths in surprise, looking as if they could not believe it.

A First-Rank Talisman Master, an Inner Sect Disciple—either identity was an existence beyond their reach.

Martial Artists were merely servants to Cultivators; even their parents, who were Gang leaders, were not worth mentioning in front of an Inner Sect Disciple of the Red Pine Sect.

Was all of this real?

We sisters actually became the Concubines of a Red Pine Sect Inner Sect Disciple, and even conceived his child?

Things had become too good, and the two sisters conversely felt it was unreal.

"I remember that yesterday, Husband had not yet successfully drawn a First-Rank Low Grade Talisman, right? How could you pass the First-Rank Talisman Master assessment in just one day?"

Lin Xue'er was not carried away by the news of Liu Xuan's promotion to an Inner Sect Disciple; the questions in her heart had not yet been answered.

Her small face was even more puzzled as she asked: "Even if Husband was promoted to a First-Rank Talisman Master today, the process to join the Inner Sect is not that fast; has Husband been favored by some important figure?"

Lin Xue'er was indeed smart; before Liu Xuan could even say it, she had already guessed most of the situation.

"Xue'er, don't be anxious, listen to me as I tell you slowly."

Liu Xuan had no intention of hiding anything from Lin Xue'er; after entering the house, he recounted everything that happened today to her one by one.

Lin Xue'er listened in silence for a moment, then pondered and said: "I am not very clear about Lin Tianyue's daughter; my father is in Red Pine City, I will write a letter to ask for you tomorrow."

"Uh..."

Liu Xuan, who had secretly prepared a draft in his heart and was just planning to analyze the pros and cons for Lin Xue'er and then soothe her emotions, was stunned!

"Xue'er..."

"You are not upset?"

"Upset?"

Lin Xue'er smiled broadly: "Husband has a bright future, how could I be upset?"

"My lineage has been declining since my grandfather's time, and Hall Master Lin would not have even glanced at me before; now that her daughter and I are both Husband's Dao Companions, I am too happy to even react!"

"Husband is now a noble Inner Sect Disciple, a First-Rank Talisman Master, and may become a First-Rank Mid-Grade Talisman Master or even a First-Order High-Grade Talisman Cultivator in the future; that you do not despise my low status and do not abandon me, I am already very grateful!"

Lin Xue'er held Liu Xuan's hand, her small face revealing two little dimples; that smile came from the bottom of her heart.

With Liu Xuan's current status, she, Lin Xue'er, was simply not worthy of him; even if Liu Xuan had simply not returned today, she would have thought it normal.

Now that Liu Xuan not only returned to explain to her but was also worried that she would be upset because of it, Lin Xue'er felt that being able to become Dao Companions with her husband was the luckiest thing for her.

"Is that really what you think?"

Liu Xuan stared into Lin Xue'er's eyes and asked.

"Of course!"

Lin Xue'er replied crisply.

"That is good!"

Liu Xuan held her jade hand and promised: "Rest assured, what I said before will always hold true."

The couple cherished each other for a while, then Lin Xue'er looked at the pregnant Da Shuang and Xiao Shuang nearby and admonished:

"Husband, you are now an Inner Sect Disciple with a limitless future; in the future, do not indulge in female beauty, and even less should you recklessly deplete your Primordial Yang to have children.

A First-Rank Mid-Grade Talisman Master needs at least Qi Refining Third Stage cultivation, and a First-Order High-Grade Talisman Cultivator needs at least Qi Refining Sixth Stage cultivation.

Even if your Talisman talent is high, cultivation is the top priority; you must not put the cart before the horse.

Three children are already enough; if Xiao Yuan does not have a Spiritual Root, we will have to keep having more in the future!"

Lin Xue'er was not worried about Liu Xuan having more Dao Companions in the future; she was most worried that Xiao Yuan would not have a Spiritual Root, and then Liu Xuan would not have the energy to continue having children with her.

Giving birth to a child with a Spiritual Root was Lin Xue'er's obsession; this point was much more important than Liu Xuan taking new Dao Companions.

How could three be enough? Having only three children for more offspring and more blessings? Unless Liu Xuan was a fool.

If you can give birth, do it; the more the better! This was Liu Xuan's life creed.

However, Lin Xue'er was right; although there was a bit of selfishness, it was essentially for Liu Xuan's own good.

"Alright, alright, alright!"

"I know!"

Liu Xuan touched her flat lower abdomen and suddenly asked: "Xue'er, how is your body recovering? Do you want to..."

If it were Liu Xuan's previous life, it would be safer for a woman to wait half a year after giving birth before getting pregnant again.

However, in this world, there are Cultivators and Martial Artists; their physical fitness and recovery abilities could not be judged by the experience of his previous life.

Lin Xue'er got out of bed the day after giving birth to Xiao Yuan, and a few days later, she was even teaching Liu Xuan sword techniques; one could not view this using the common sense of his previous life.

Da Shuang and Xiao Shuang had been pregnant for several months, and Liu Xuan's pent-up fire had accumulated quite a bit!

"Hmph~"

Lin Xue'er's pretty face flushed slightly, and she huffed delicately: "I see that you were not listening to me seriously just now."

...

Three days later.

These past few days, Liu Xuan had been traveling between two points: in the morning, he went to the Inner Sect Immortal Cave to Cultivate, and in the evening, he returned home to accompany Lin Xue'er, Da Shuang, Xiao Shuang, and his son.

The Medicinal Pill he bought earlier had not yet been used up, and his Kunpeng Body Refining Technique was progressing rapidly; he estimated that in two more days, he would be able to break through the first layer of Body Refining.

The Bottleneck of the Three Suns Gathering Body Qi Refining Second Stage was showing some loosening, and he felt that he would soon break through; he did not know if this was a side effect of the progress of the Kunpeng Body Refining Technique.

On the evening of the third day.

A poker-faced strong man found Liu Xuan and handed him a letter without saying a word.

Liu Xuan unfolded it to look; it turned out that there was news from Lin Tianyue's side. He told him to go to the Talisman shop in Red Pine City first; everything had been arranged there, and he just needed to go over.

Also, this poker-faced strong man was named Liu Gang, an Innate Early Stage Martial Artist whose combat power was not weaker than a Qi Refining Fourth Stage Cultivator; he was the bodyguard arranged for Liu Xuan.

Liu Xuan sized up this bodyguard named Liu Gang for a few moments; his aura was fierce, and at a glance, he looked like the type who was a murderer.

'He even considered the safety issue; this cheap father-in-law is indeed thoughtful!'
