Oh no! My grandmother made me shoulder the responsibility for eight households!

Chapter 497 Scrambling and Crawling

Lin Chen stayed in the Gu God Palace for three days.

Chi Meng began to appear at his room door on time every night.

He knocked three times and, without waiting for Lin Chen's reply, pushed the door open and came in.

Lin Chenyou said speechlessly, "These things can't be rushed; you have to be careful about the methods and approaches."

Chi Meng looked at Lin Chen expressionlessly and said calmly, "You promised, and you don't want the matter of the Holy Temple recognizing its ancestors to fall through halfway, do you?"

Then I started taking off my clothes.

Lin Chen was completely numb, feeling like he was the one being bullied.

Lin Chen took a deep breath and accepted the challenge; he absolutely could not admit defeat.

Fortunately, the battle wasn't as fierce as it was on the first day, but they still didn't call it a day until dawn.

As Lin Chen lay in bed, only one thought occupied his mind:

Does this woman see this as a way to conquer him?

This is role-playing!

Fortunately, Yan Ruyu, Lan Fenghuang, and Lingbo did not take advantage of the situation.

This gave Lin Chen a chance to catch his breath.

It's not that I lack the energy, it's that I've become a little numb.

Think about it, when you turn your hobby into a job, is it still a hobby?

Who can stand working 996 or even 007 every day?

Lin Chen didn't want to stifle his love for women.

He was afraid he would become a monster or go crazy if he lost even this.

Really.

……

On the morning of the third day.

We've eaten.

Lin Chen put down his chopsticks and coldly uttered a single word: "Go."

Lan Fenghuang was drinking soup when she almost choked. She looked up at him and asked, "Now?"

"Now."

"No...won't you rest for another two days?"

"If I rest any longer, I'll rest here."

Yan Ruyu sat opposite him, smiling at him with a smile that resembled that of a madam:

"Why don't you stay a couple more days? I think Chi Meng is quite reluctant to see you go."

After saying that, he deliberately glanced at Chi Meng, who was sitting at the table eating.

Chi Meng was drinking porridge, expressionless, as if she hadn't heard anything.

Lin Chen glared at Yan Ruyu.

Yan Ruyu laughed even harder, and after laughing, she asked again, "Are you sure you can still walk?"

Lin Chen ignored her and summoned his flying boat.

A golden flying boat appeared out of thin air, hovering above the Gu God Temple. When the sunlight shone on it, it was so dazzling that it hurt people's eyes.

Lingbo said nothing and immediately boarded the flying boat.

Dugu Qiubai, holding a teacup, slowly walked up, pausing briefly as he passed Lin Chen:

"My lord, please take care of yourself."

After saying that, he slipped onto the boat.

Lin Chen: "..."

Jian Shisan followed behind, glancing at Lin Chen expressionlessly, his eyes conveying the message, "Thank goodness I don't have a wife."

Lan Fenghuang walked up to Chi Meng and bowed deeply.

"Lord Temple, I entrust the matter of the Temple to you."

Chi Meng nodded without saying a word.

But for Lan Fenghuang, this nod was more important than a thousand words.

She straightened up, turned around and followed Lin Chen out, her steps lighter, even her back view exuding happiness.

The airship took off and flew north.

Lin Chen lay down on the deck, legs crossed, hands behind his head, eyes half-closed.

The sun felt warm on my face, and the wind blew gently past my ears.

Lin Chen let out a long breath.

The breath he exhaled seemed to expel all the fatigue and numbness of the past three days.

Lan Fenghuang leaned against the gunwale, looking at the valley receding into the distance, a smile playing on her lips.

It felt like I had put down something very, very heavy, and my whole body felt lighter.

The airship flew smoothly, white clouds drifted past, and mountains moved backward beneath our feet.

Lin Chen was almost asleep.

I felt groggy, and my eyelids grew heavier and heavier.

Then he suddenly opened his eyes.

With a thought, the flying boat suddenly stopped in mid-air.

Everyone was looking at Lin Chen.

Lan Fenghuang was taken aback: "What's wrong?"

Yan Ruyu squinted and looked back the way she had come.

Lingbo frowned slightly.

Dugu Qiubai paused for a moment while holding the teacup, then continued drinking.

Whatever it is, it's not aimed at him anyway.

In the distance, a dark figure moved at an extremely fast speed.

In the blink of an eye, they arrived beside the airship and landed directly on the deck without slowing down at all.

It was Chi Meng, with her black robes, black hair, and expressionless face.

Lin Chen raised an eyebrow, his voice tinged with helplessness: "What are you doing here? Our deal is over!"

Chi Meng remained expressionless: "I'll go with you."

There was a moment of silence on the deck.

Yan Ruyu raised an eyebrow, her expression as if she had just heard something juicy.

Blue Phoenix paused for a moment, her mouth slightly open.

Lingbo remained expressionless, but a hint of understanding flashed in her eyes.

Jian Shisan opened his eyes a crack, glanced at the scene, and then closed them again.

Dugu Qiubai held the teacup without his hand trembling even slightly.

Lin Chen took a deep breath: "Why are you coming with me?"

"Wait for the seeds to sprout."

The air became completely still.

Even the wind seemed to stop for a moment.

Yan Ruyu covered her mouth, her shoulders trembling.

Lan Fenghuang and Ling Bo's lips twitched simultaneously.

Lin Chen rubbed his temples, feeling a buzzing in his head.

"You, the master of the Gu God Palace, are coming with me? What will become of the Gu God Palace?"

Chi Meng said calmly, "The Supreme Elder is in charge."

Is the Supreme Elder reliable?

"More reliable than you."

Lin Chen choked for a moment.

Fine.

He took another deep breath and changed his perspective:

"You probably know that the higher your cultivation level, the harder it is to conceive, right?"

"Our clan has a secret technique that can control the chances of conception."

Chi Meng stared intently at Lin Chen, paused, and then added:

"As long as you don't deliberately suppress or stifle it, you won't waste much time."

A hint of embarrassment flashed in Lin Chen's eyes.

Damn, we've been discovered.

He has indeed been suppressing it—what a joke, is anyone allowed to be the mother of his child?

Yan Ruyu spoke with a smile:

"Just let her come along. It won't be a problem. She's been alone in the valley for so many years. It's time for her to come out and see the outside world."

After saying that, she gave Lin Chen a wink, meaning that having more people meant having more options, and it wouldn't be a loss.

Lan Fenghuang stood to the side without saying a word.

Lingbo's lips twitched again.

Lin Chen was silent for a moment, then said, "Following is fine."

Chi Meng's eyes lit up slightly, but Lin Chen noticed it.

"But you have to listen to me."

Chi Meng nodded.

"Do what I tell you to do, and don't do what I tell you not to do."

Chi Meng nodded again.

"Don't touch anything without permission, and don't release insects without permission."

Chi Meng nodded again.

Lin Chen paused, gritted his teeth, and said the most crucial point:

"You're not allowed to take off your clothes casually, and you're not allowed to... contact me every night."

Chi Meng paused.

She spoke, her voice still flat: "About the pregnancy—"

Lin Chen raised his hand to interrupt her:

"I'm in charge, otherwise you'll never get pregnant."

Chi Meng was silent for three seconds, then nodded: "Okay."

The word "good" was said with particular crispness.

Lin Chen was starting to panic.

This woman is definitely up to something.

But he doesn't want to deal with it anymore.

He is tired.

Lin Chen closed his eyes again, reverting to his lazy demeanor, and slumped onto the deck.

Chi Meng stood on the deck, looking at his profile, for a while.

A gust of wind blew by, lifting a few strands of her hair.

Then she turned around, walked to the side of the ship, and stood with her hands behind her back.

The wind made her black robe flutter, but she remained motionless.

Like a sculpture.

Lingbo stood motionless on the other side of the ship's railing.

The two of them each occupied one side.

Like the Black and White Duo.

The airship restarted and continued flying north.

Lin Chen closed his eyes; the sunlight was still so warm, and the wind was still so gentle.

But he always felt a chill down his spine.

He opened one eye and looked to his left—Chi Meng, dressed in black.

Then I looked to the right—Lingbo, dressed in white.

Both of them had their backs to him, facing outwards, their long hair flowing.

Lin Chen closed his eyes again.

There was only one thought in my mind:

Having too many women isn't necessarily a good thing.
