Conversation 68

  A son brings honor! No matter what era, as long as mainstream society is still dominated by men, the woman who gives birth to a male heir will naturally be looked up to by her husband's family.

  Although Jing Xiu didn't quite appreciate the mountain god husband who showed off his frivolous air as soon as they met, this marriage was already a done deal and she had no other choice. Moreover, Jing Xiu even more didn't want to be surpassed by that ordinary woman who was married on the same day. In just an instant, Jing Xiu had made up her mind. Tonight, she would drain a certain someone dry, at least she wanted to give birth to a son before Meng Yanran did. As for those things that weren't convenient to mention out loud, the nine-tailed fox tribe was indeed the authentic expert in this field!

  "How are you..."

  As the saying goes, a rogue will be proficient in martial arts and no one can stop him. Jing Shu is a natural-born beauty, with a charming bone structure and an enchanting smile that exudes endless charm. When she sets her mind on seducing men, even the strongest steel would turn into soft silk. Lin Xu was caught off guard by Jing Shu's move.

  That three-inch tongue actively stirred over, the delicate body was thrown into his arms like soft jade warm and fragrant in his embrace. Even Lin Xu, who had just fought a battle, felt dizzy when he saw this scene, as if all the hot blood in his chest had rushed to his head, and was pushed down by Jing Xiu on the spot. When Lin Xu came to his senses a little later, the eastern sky showed a few shades of fish belly white, and it was already unknown how many battles had been fought. He quietly got up, tiptoed out of the bridal chamber, and ran all the way to the back garden of the Mountain God Temple.

  Making sure no one was around, Lin Xu finally let out a breath and said with a hint of emotion:

  "It's still better with a golden body! If it were the original small body, don't even think about getting up for ten days or half a month."

  The most tragic relationship between husband and wife is not sleeping in the same bed but having different dreams, but rather calculating each other until death. If someone unfortunately falls into this situation, it's truly a debt of karma from past lives that needs to be repaid in this life!

  After Lin Xu quietly left the room, Jing Shuang slowly opened her beautiful eyes as she lay quietly on the bed with her back to the door. Her slender fingers were placed on her lower abdomen, and then she revealed a confident and gentle smile. Jing Shuang had already felt that there was a new life sprouting in her belly, and the secret technique of Qing Qiu Shi, which was not spread outside, naturally guaranteed the best quality of conception.

  "Husband, do you know why I agreed to this marriage? If I had insisted on not marrying, the clan leader would have been powerless."

  The peaceful days passed one by one, and Lin Xu gradually adapted to this way of life with his family. When Hu Nu Jing pulled him into the quiet room and seriously asked him this question, Lin Xu was somewhat at a loss.

  Lin Xuan hesitated for a moment and couldn't guess what Jing Shu wanted to say, so he chose to answer honestly, shaking his head and saying:

  "Uh, I don't know."

  Seeing this, Jing Xiu laughed so hard that her flower branch shook violently. Then she raised her hand and pointed at Lin Xu, saying:

  "Good luck!"

  "Qigong?"

  Lin Xu subconsciously repeated Jing Xiu's words, savoring the taste of them, but the doubts in his heart only grew more and more.

  As for the knowledge that former teacher Huo Shan infused into Lin Xu's mind, there was indeed a large quantity, but unfortunately, for those students who didn't have a good foundation, suddenly acquiring too much knowledge would instead become an obstacle to their future learning progress.

  Let's make an analogy. This is like using a search engine to find download resources for a certain game on the internet. When you enter the keyword, tens of thousands of relevant link pages pop up instantly. Just distinguishing which download links provided by these web pages are usable and which are not, whether the opened webpage has been hijacked... these tedious search tasks can make people exhausted to the point of vomiting blood! So, sometimes too much information is equivalent to useless garbage information, too many choices equal no choice at all. If every time you have to use the method of panning for gold to get what you need, then efficiency will never be improved.

  After a brief silence, Lin Xu was left with time to think, and Jing Shu fiddled with the decorations in the quiet room, saying calmly:

  "In ancient times, the nine-tailed fox was a symbol of good fortune, for my clan would not appear in chaotic eras, and only when the world is at peace can one catch a glimpse of the nine-tailed fox's shadow."

  At the sound, Lin Xu couldn't help but have some associations, and immediately stared wide-eyed and said:

  "...You're saying that the Nine-Tailed Fox clan has the ability to foresee calamity and fortune?"

  The fox woman Jing Yu's fingers gently twirled a strand of hair hanging in front of her chest, and she smiled coquettishly, saying:

  "It's not that I foresaw it, but rather that the stars have shown me. Among the pure-blooded descendants of my clan, there will occasionally be born individuals with special talents, like myself, who possess extraordinary gifts. By observing the changes in the stars, one can know the general trend."

  The intangible is called the Way. The tangible is called the vessel. Lin Xu's personal experience had determined that he lacked the kind of idle talk spirit of discussing the Way while sitting, but rather cared about the practical value of things. At this moment, Lin Xu said without hesitation:

  "So what exactly did you see in me?"

  "I thought you were the one who could bear the weight of this world's fate, so I agreed to marry you."

  Anything that transcends its peers will naturally give rise to a sense of superiority. The fox girl Jing Yu, who possesses the ability to predict the future, is no exception. Despite his wife's confidence, Lin Xu did not feel the same level of strong self-confidence, or rather, he had never felt so embarrassed in his life.

  He rubbed his head in surprise, and Lin Xu showed an incredulous expression, hesitantly saying:

  "Is it? I didn't know this marriage had so many twists and turns!"

  It was as if she had finally managed to unburden herself of a long-held secret, and Qing Yu seemed particularly excited. At this moment, she glanced at Lin Xu with a hint of profundity and said:

  "It's hard to ask about the will of heaven, who can accurately predict the outcome in the future?"

  It seems like you've already said everything good and bad about me! Lin Xu couldn't help but roll his eyes, then continued to say:

  "How can you calculate something as vague and elusive as luck?"

  It was as if he had met that foolish emperor who, when told that the common people had no rice to eat, asked them why they did not eat meat porridge. At this time, Jing Shu looked at Lin Xu with great surprise, as if she had heard something unbelievable and mysterious, and said:

  "Liuren, Lianshan, Guicang, Zhouyi, Plum Blossom Divination, Iron Plate Calculation, Taiyi Divine Course... all these can be calculated! However, whether the result is accurate or not, before it happens, no one can say for sure."

  At this point, Lin Xu had already listened to the point where he was about to shed tears. Alas, he had been studying day and night for years, but unfortunately, due to his limited personal talent and study time, he hadn't even mastered the divine abilities of the mountain god, let alone learned any American-style divination techniques! However, as a man, he couldn't say no in front of his wife, so Lin Xu could only swallow his pride.

  "Good morning! How did you end up on this side..."

  As the two fox women, Jing Xiu and Meng Yanran, walked out of the small courtyard from the east and west directions respectively, they stared blankly at their husband Lin Xu leaving from beside them. Afterwards, the two identical Lin Xus faced each other and merged into one person in the courtyard.

  Meng Yanran and Jing Shu exchanged a rare glance, looking at each other in confusion, as if suspecting they were still not awake.

  Ever since Lin Xu was seen as an uneducated and uncouth nouveau riche by his new wife Jingyi, he deeply felt that his male dignity had been challenged like never before. For this reason, Lin Xu started to go crazy with intense training, and finally made significant progress in power control thanks to the recent breakthrough of the Mountain God's ranking. In the past, within the same time period, Lin Xu could only separate his divine sense to control one clone at a time. Although other clones could exist simultaneously, these clones were unable to exhibit independent emotions, thoughts, and thinking activities, just like puppets that were stiff and uninteresting.

  Now, Lin Xu can divide his consciousness into several different entities that exist at the same time, with each divine sense commanding a clone. This way, he immediately solved one of the major problems he had been facing recently - which wife to accompany, and also allowed his true body to have time to study and cultivate.

  After last night's practical test, Lin Xu felt satisfied with the experimental results. At this moment, he opened his arms to his two wives and said:

  "It's just a minor trick, I'm afraid I've made two ladies laugh."

  A relatively advanced divine avatar, unlike those cannon fodder avatars that don't even need a thread of divine sense. An avatar is like a person's limbs, while having the characteristics of the main body, the main deity must separate out a part of their consciousness to control the avatar's actions.

  Although Lin Xu's current strength is only mediocre among the gods, the "Divided Spirit" he has cultivated is a rather profound and practical skill.

  In Shinto, the gods who can master this technique are almost all strong warriors. The divine power of the gods can indeed grow steadily through the spread of faith and the collection of wishes, and there is no limit to the accumulation of divine power. However, the amount of divine power output per unit time is restricted by external factors. Especially under the premise of not using the main body of the god, whoever controls more avatars and controls them finely will undoubtedly have an advantage when taking action. If a true insider saw Lin Xu's research results on the division of divine consciousness, they would definitely look up to him.

  Jing Xiu and Meng Yanran's strength was far from comparable to Lin Xu, they couldn't tell what made this move so brilliant.

  The fox girl Jing Xiu from a prestigious family was okay, just smiling silently. Meng Yanran, who was still an ordinary human not long ago, was greatly surprised and entwined herself around Lin Xu, staring at him for half a day before letting go of him.

  After the grand wedding, all was quiet and peaceful in the mountains. Lin Xu, busy with creating humans, had not appeared publicly for a long time. All major and minor matters of the Mountain God Temple were handled by his subordinates. Now, he felt that the complex family affairs had stabilized, and it was time to let his two wives have contact with his subordinates. With this in mind, Lin Xu took Jingyu and Meng Yanran to the front hall of the Mountain God Temple, simultaneously sending out a message to summon all the deputy generals to come and discuss matters.

  In TV dramas, the big bosses always like to make a grand entrance, Lin Xu has always been skeptical of this, until he himself sat in this position and knew that everything had its reasons, as the leader, those big BOSSes who came late also had their own helplessness.

  It's only natural for subordinates to wait for their superiors, but if the situation is reversed and a superior has to wait for a subordinate, it's a very bad sign. Even if the superior doesn't want to pursue responsibility, all subordinates, including the latecomer themselves, agree that the behavior of a subordinate being more important than a leader is a serious mistake. Even if there was an agreement to arrive early and the superior arrived ahead of schedule, that's not a valid reason to excuse the subordinate from responsibility.

  To avoid making everyone unhappy, Lin Xu had to work a bit harder. Each time he calculated the timing and made sure that there were no special circumstances and everyone should have arrived, he would appear at the entrance of the venue on the dot.
