13: Chapter 13 Bai Shiwei breaks through, four times the return!

"Dad?" Fang Zhuo's eyes widened. What was this old guy doing here?

"Why are you here?" Fang Zhuo pulled the door open, his tone impatient.

"Dad..." Bai Shiwei's face flushed slightly as she called out timidly from behind Fang Zhuo.

"Hmm." Fang Wu nodded at his daughter-in-law, then looked at Fang Zhuo and sneered, "What, did I interrupt your good time?"

In the living room, two black boxes stood silently on the table.

Fang Wu looked indifferent.

Fang Zhuo, however, looked at them with burning eyes. This packaging... were they spirit-nourishing pills? He had just bought spirit-nourishing pills the day before yesterday, so he recognized them at a glance.

"Dad, did the old man ask you to bring these?"

"What?" Fang Wu rolled his eyes at his son in annoyance. "Can't it be that your old man bought them?"

A father knows his son best, and the reverse was also true. How could he not know his own father's strength?

Fang Zhuo gave an awkward laugh. He didn't expose Fang Wu's bluff, instead changing the subject, "So, what's the deal? These are two spirit-nourishing pills, right? Are they for me, or for Shi Wei?"

"One for each of you. Boost your mental power and see if you can awaken a Martial Aspect. If you can't, then stop obsessing over it in the future and just live your lives peacefully."

Fang Wu was usually a man of few words; it was rare for him to say so much this time.

"Dad..." Bai Shiwei pursed her lips, choked up, and stopped, wanting to say something but unable to get it out.

Going on a blind date, getting a marriage certificate, and relying on the man's resources to continue practicing martial arts—this was the originally established plan, and she had already discussed it with Fang Zhuo.

But after actually living together, she found that both Fang Zhuo and Fang Family had treated her too well.

"Alright, if there's nothing else, you should head back. The place is small, so I won't keep you for a meal. I'll bring Shi Wei home another day," Fang Zhuo said with a chuckle.

"You brat!" Fang Wu cursed, making a gesture to hit him. He raised his hand heavily but lowered it gently, patting Fang Zhuo on the shoulder, the light in his eyes narrowing to a point.

Fang Zhuo nodded; everything was understood without words.

Fang Wu left.

Bai Shiwei's eyes turned slightly red as she watched; she felt very envious of this kind of father-son relationship.

"Two spirit-nourishing pills; the old man really bled for this. I'm afraid his retirement fund has shrunk quite a bit..." Fang Zhuo looked at the black boxes on the table and thought to himself.

The boxes were opened, revealing two blood-red spirit-nourishing pills. A rich medicinal fragrance wafted out, hitting both of their nostrils.

Bai Shiwei stared straight at them. With just one more spirit-nourishing pill, she had a 99.9% chance of awakening a Martial Aspect, and it would be a Superior Martial Aspect at that—most likely a... Five-Clawed Divine Dragon!

"Wife~" Fang Zhuo picked up the two spirit-nourishing pills and looked at Bai Shiwei with a smile.

"Mm!" Bai Shiwei nodded vigorously like a chick pecking at rice.

"Two spirit-nourishing pills, one for you~" Fang Zhuo handed one over to Bai Shiwei, then paused, drawing out his words as he added, "After you finish one, have the other~"

"Huh?" Bai Shiwei was stunned. Looking at the two spirit-nourishing pills in her palm, her eyes turned completely red. "Husband, I only need one!"

"You take the remaining one. Don't you also want to continue practicing martial arts? Once I awaken my Martial Aspect and get investment contracts from big corporations, we can practice together!"

As Bai Shiwei spoke, she picked up one and placed it firmly into Fang Zhuo's hand without any room for argument.

"No need." Fang Zhuo shook his head.

If he used it, one pill was just one pill. If he gave it to his wife, one spirit-nourishing pill was equal to three!

Even a primary school student could solve this math problem, but how was he supposed to explain it to Bai Shiwei?

Right now, Bai Shiwei seemed deeply moved, her emotions fluctuating significantly...

Bai Shiwei was indeed anxious. She stood up, grabbed Fang Zhuo, and said with deep affection, "Fang Zhuo~ I thought you would just casually brush me off, providing maybe a hundred thousand or so a year, and that would be about it."

"But... I tell you, after I took the spirit-nourishing pill you bought for me previously, my mental power is almost enough to bear a Martial Aspect. With one more this time, I will definitely be able to awaken a Martial Aspect!"

"Husband~ you should just eat the remaining one yourself~!" Bai Shiwei said with a coquettish pout, her attitude, however, was unquestionable.

Fang Zhuo froze... His thoughts raced. Unable to come up with a good excuse for the moment, he could only say, "...Alright, then you take this spirit-nourishing pill first and see if you can successfully awaken a Martial Aspect?"

"Okay!" Bai Shiwei was confident.

She tilted her head back, swallowed the spirit-nourishing pill, and immediately sat cross-legged, focusing entirely on digesting the medicinal power.

[Bai Shiwei consumed 1 spirit-nourishing pill. Wife Bai Shiwei's current Life Level is Primary Martial Artist. Return coefficient is 2. Returned 2 spirit-nourishing pills.]

It took less than half an hour.

Bai Shiwei opened her tightly closed eyes. As her eyelashes trembled, unstoppable joy rippled through her. Her eyes curved, and the corners of her mouth hooked up as she said, "Husband~!"

"I successfully awakened a Martial Aspect! It's a Superior Martial Aspect—the Heaven-Swallowing Python!"

"A Superior Martial Aspect?" Fang Zhuo raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised. It seemed his wife's martial arts talent was top-tier. If Bai Shiwei were on the blind date system now, there definitely wouldn't be a chance for him... Well... unless she didn't reveal it to the Federation system.

"Yes." A sharp glint flashed in Bai Shiwei's beautiful eyes. It seemed as if a python coiled behind her, which was truly frightening and full of imposing aura.

"Before, when the visualization wasn't complete, it looked like a dragon, so I thought it was the Five-Clawed Divine Dragon among the Superior Martial Aspects. I didn't expect it to actually be a Heaven-Swallowing Python!"

Fang Zhuo wore a smile.

Among the nine recorded Superior Martial Aspects, both the Five-Clawed Divine Dragon and the Heaven-Swallowing Python were included, and it was hard to say which was better or worse.

However, the Heaven-Swallowing Python Martial Aspect had an advantage: the martial artist's cultivation speed would be faster. Its Innate Divine Ability was Devour, which could absorb the essence of the sun and moon to strengthen the body. Combined with the strengthening effect of Source Power, it was equivalent to double the speed!

"Congratulations, it's time to celebrate." Fang Zhuo stepped forward and hugged Bai Shiwei.

"Mm~ Thanks to your trust and support, Husband. Without you, I don't know how much longer I would have had to struggle; I might never have awakened it..." Bai Shiwei hugged Fang Zhuo back tightly.

She had originally reached a dead end. She had taken out all the loans she could and owed her friends a mountain of debt. In several blind dates, the men all thought she was obsessed with martial arts. Only Fang Zhuo had chosen to trust her...!

"Come, open your mouth~" Fang Zhuo suddenly pushed Bai Shiwei back a little and looked down at her.

Bai Shiwei looked confused. What was this? At a time like this, why ask for something like that? It ruined the mood... Despite her dissatisfaction, Bai Shiwei still opened her small mouth with an "ah."

Fang Zhuo kissed her, using his tongue to pass the spirit-nourishing pill from his mouth to hers.

"Ah?" "Husband!" The moment the tip of Bai Shiwei's tongue touched the spirit-nourishing pill, her heart was filled with mixed feelings, which ultimately melted into touched emotions and sweetness. She murmured a sound and immediately used her tongue to push the spirit-nourishing pill back into Fang Zhuo's mouth.

Pushing and passing... The two gradually became aroused, their breathing rapid, caressing each other back and forth.

"If I tell you to eat, you eat. Be obedient. You just awakened your Martial Aspect, and this is exactly the time when you need nourishment. Upgrade to Advanced Martial Artist as soon as possible. When you earn big money, then you can support me." Fang Zhuo pinned Bai Shiwei onto the sofa and said from above.

Bai Shiwei's face was flushed red, her eyes dazed. Facing such a forceful Fang Zhuo for the first time, she curled her head and agreed.

"Gulp~~~" With a swallow, Bai Shiwei gulped down the spirit-nourishing pill, which had long since turned into medicinal liquid, mixed with a large amount of saliva, as if she had swallowed an aphrodisiac.

[Bai Shiwei consumed 1 spirit-nourishing pill. Wife Bai Shiwei's current Life Level is Intermediate Martial Artist. Return coefficient is 4. Returned 4 spirit-nourishing pills.]

Huh...? Shi Wei awakening her Martial Aspect also pushed her Life Level to leap forward. She was originally only Level 18, but this was a breakthrough of two levels, directly breaking through to become a Level 20 Intermediate Martial Artist?!

Fang Zhuo looked at the notification floating before his eyes, feeling both surprised and satisfied. In the system space, a total of 6 spirit-nourishing pills were lying quietly!
