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

Chapter 212 Mei Jiu Niang is coming to Dayan

Until evening.

Lin Chen had just come out of the Princess's residence.

Lin Chen sat in the carriage, thinking about Zhao Mingyue.

Elegant, poised, and unpretentious.

She has the temperament and figure of a young woman, yet the shyness of a young girl.

Lin Chen recalled the way Zhao Mingyue looked when she tried on her wedding dress.

Her bright red dress made her skin appear dazzlingly white, and her waist was so soft and warm that it felt like a gentle touch.

She was dignified, but when he teased her, her eyes and brows revealed her embarrassment and annoyance.

Wow, that's awesome!

It's one of his favorites.

"The proper wife's demeanor, the concubine's allure," Lin Chen muttered. "This is a good deal."

Back at the Prince's Mansion, as soon as they entered the second gate, they saw Wen Ruoxi wandering around in the courtyard.

"Husband!" She spotted Lin Chen at a glance, lifted her skirt, and ran over, her eyes sparkling.

"You're finally back!"

Lin Chen reached out and caught Wen Ruoxi as she lunged at him.

"What are you doing, standing there like a statue waiting for her husband?"

"I'll wait for you." Wen Ruoxi took Lin Chen's arm and pressed herself against him.

"Was the Princess's residence fun? Was her wedding dress beautiful?"

"It's alright." Lin Chen put his arm around Wen Ruoxi and walked inside. "How did you know I went to look at wedding dresses?"

"I just guessed." Wen Ruoxi tilted her head.

"They're only back at this hour; they must have done more than just tea and chatting. Did they take advantage of the situation?"

Lin Chen chuckled: "You seem to know everything about this."

"That's right." Wen Ruoxi wrinkled her nose. "I also know that you definitely touched her waist."

"..."

"Right?" Wen Ruoxi gently pinched Lin Chen's arm.

"That's just how you are, you're never honest."

Lin Chen smiled helplessly: "You talk as if you've never experienced it."

"That's different," Wen Ruoxi said matter-of-factly.

"I was chosen by my grandmother as the lady of the house, while the Princess is still an outsider—but soon."

The two walked through the corridor, the light from the lanterns casting long shadows.

Wen Ruoxi suddenly lowered her voice: "Husband, I have something to tell you."

"Um?"

"I feel especially good today." Her eyes lit up.

"I woke up feeling refreshed this morning, ate two bowls of rice for lunch, and even played some card games with my older sister and the others in the afternoon, winning quite a bit of money!"

Lin Chen chuckled lightly: "Isn't this normal? You always have a good appetite and never lose money!"

"Oh well, it's different from before anyway." Wen Ruoxi gave a haughty snort and whispered in Lin Chen's ear.

"I think... jade carvings must have some use."

Lin Chen glanced at Wen Ruoxi and said helplessly:

"Just tell me, what do you want to do?"

Wen Ruoxi was not shy at all and spoke frankly:

"I have a feeling that jade carving... might actually be useful. Shall we give it another try tonight?"

Lin Chen smiled as he looked at Wen Ruoxi's expectant eyes.

"Okay, but you have to promise me you won't keep staring at it."

"Okay!" Wen Ruoxi said happily, "I'm just setting it up to create an atmosphere!"

Back in the room, the jade carving was still on the bedside table.

Wen Ruoxi lit the candles and closed the window.

Under the candlelight, the jade carving gleamed with a soft light, and the pair of ruby ​​eyes seemed to shimmer with a subtle, ever-changing light.

"Husband," Wen Ruoxi leaned against Lin Chen's chest, "do you think it will work this time?"

"Don't ask." Lin Chen kissed her. "Let nature take its course."

"Um……"

……

In the early morning, Lin Chen opened his eyes. Wen Ruoxi was still asleep, so he got up quietly, dressed, and went out.

Just as he was about to practice the Dragon Tiger Guiding Technique, Yuan Tiangang appeared beside him.

"My lord."

"What is it?"

"The Cui family of Jiangnan has made a move," Yuan Tiangang whispered.

"Cui Yuanming has started transferring assets, it seems he has realized that the master wants to take action against the Cui family."

"So what if they noticed?" Lin Chen sneered.

"Let's send someone to keep an eye on him and see what kind of trouble he can cause. We don't have time to deal with him for now."

"Yes."

Yuan Tiangang paused, then said:

"Also, news came from Zhongzhou that Mei Jiuniang, the Valley Master of the Hehuan Sect, said she would come to Dayan next month."

Lin Chen raised an eyebrow: "What are you here for?"

"They said it was... a travelogue." Yuan Tiangang's tone was somewhat strange.

"But I believe she came for the Lord."

Lin Chen laughed: "Come on then, let's see just how alluring Mei Jiu Niang of the Hehuan Sect is, that she can bewitch those big shots in Zhongzhou."

Before Yuan Tiangang could say anything more, Lin Chen interrupted him:

"By the way, send two more people to protect the Princess from the shadows."

"Yes."

"And another thing," Lin Chen walked to the window, looking at the moonlight outside,

"Any news from the Ten Thousand Mountains of Central Plains and the Gu God Palace?"

"Not yet!" Yuan Tiangang replied.

"The Ten Thousand Mountains are fraught with danger, and the Gu God Palace is surrounded by Gu worms. With the Bad Guys' cultivation level, they are finding it somewhat difficult to cope!"

Lin Chen was silent for a moment before saying:

"Send a message to them, telling them to prioritize their own safety. Don't force them; just gather all the intelligence you can!"

"Our lord is merciful!" Yuan Tiangang exclaimed.

"No need to flatter me!" Lin Chen waved his hand.

"The Ten Thousand Mountains can stop even celestial beings, let alone a mere Grandmaster like you. Don't risk your life. We can figure out a solution after we get there!"

"yes!"

"Oh, right!" Lin Chen suddenly remembered something, "After the jade slips of Guan Yu and Li Bai were distributed last time, did anyone show any signs of a breakthrough?"

"There are quite a few people," Yuan Tiangang said after a pause.

"The Thirteen Protectors and the Thirteen Riders of Yanyun all have the potential to break through to the Grandmaster level, and six members of the Hidden Dragon Guard and the Heavenly Gang Guard have a high probability of directly entering the Celestial Realm."

The others have all touched the Celestial Realm, and at the very least, they can break through to become half-step Celestials.

Lin Chen smiled upon hearing this, "That's good. Make sure the supply of pills and resources is sufficient. If we need anything, we'll buy it. We're not short of money right now."

"yes!"

"Alright, go ahead and get busy!" Lin Chen waved his hand.

"Yes!" Yuan Tiangang replied, and his figure disappeared from the spot.

Lin Chen scanned the Prince's mansion with his divine sense, and then began to cultivate the Dragon-Tiger Guiding Technique.

His cultivation level has reached its limit; he can only focus on training his kidneys for now.

This is our core skill, and we have a long way to go!
