The hibiscus blooms in the frost, its autumn beauty still captivating.
When the jade maiden was born, they were instantly captivated by each other's love.
Feeling grateful for her lover's kindness, she turned around and embraced him.

Chapter Twenty-Six: What?! I'm going to be a father?!
Looking back, I realized that the person reciting the poem was an older man with a few strands of white hair, but who was still very charming.
"Hey, not bad, you're quite cultured, Lao Shi." Turning around, Lin Yang smiled as he looked at Shi Zhixuan, who had a small tuft of white hair but was still very charming.
While Lin Yang resolutely entered the world of Shrouding the Heavens to explore for the sake of the future of the Han Dynasty and his own life, Shi Zhixuan, Song Que, and other heroes who ascended from the Tang Dynasty also devoted themselves wholeheartedly to the construction of the Wu Kingdom.
They also made many contributions in their struggles against the imperial court and the Xian Qin. Shi Zhixuan was a prime example of this.
Moreover, long before Lin Yang returned, his cultivation had already reached the limit of the fourth rank, and he broke through after receiving Lin Yang's reward.
At this moment, his cultivation had truly reached the level of a fifth-order Earth Immortal! Whether among the many heroes of the Tang Dynasty or among the many local heroes of Jiangdong, he could be called a hero!
This has led many family heads to wonder if they should follow his and Song Que's example and send their younger generation to the small world to hone their skills, just in case they succeed.
At this time, he also participated in this cross-world conquest! To be precise, within the Wu Kingdom, any hero with a bit of ambition and strength was summoned by Lin Yang.
"Heh, isn't all of this part of the lord's plan? Only by having something can one know how to cherish it. Only by losing it again can one feel pain, gain motivation, and unleash one's full potential. At that time, Xu Xian, completely out of his mind and filled with rage, will be the best pawn!"
Looking at Xu Xian's blessed land from afar, sensing the slightly changing Yin and Yang energies within, Shi Zhixuan said coldly.
He remembered that when he was raising Yang Yong's son, it was exactly the same as Lin Yang's situation now! Therefore, he didn't think that Xu Xian would have a good ending.
"Oh dear, Minister Pei is still quite ruthless, and there's a dark side to him. So he always sees things from the perspective of conspiracy and trickery, which is not good. He should be more optimistic, kinder, and have more truth, goodness, and beauty, and more positive energy..."
Hearing Lin Yang's words, Shi Zhixuan obediently shut his mouth. You've planned all this time, just to help others achieve their goals? Don't be ridiculous!
However, listening to Old Demon Shi's words, Lin Yang suddenly realized how wicked he was! Using others as pawns and acting superior—when did he develop this mentality?
"Alas, my pure heart has been corrupted by you all!"
With that in mind, Lin Yang decided that he must do everything he could to keep Xu Xian and Bai Suzhen alive! After all, if they were to truly conquer this universe, they would be heroes!
The next day, amidst the tribulation of lightning, Bai Suzhen broke through to the fifth level, and Xu Xian's injuries were fully healed! But the sweeter the moment, the more worried he became. After all, he knew the future!
After Fahai's death, will those gods and Buddhas really just let them go so easily? Won't they set up any more calamities for them? That's highly unlikely!
...
"According to monitoring, due to the host's provision of suitable farming methods, the overall grain production of the world has doubled, allowing more people to survive. However, at the same time, the powerful landowners have become increasingly greedy, resulting in no significant improvement in the lives of the common people compared to before. Furthermore..."
"In conclusion, this action has made him famous throughout the world, garnering him a great deal of prestige and merit. It has subtly altered the overall situation of the world, bringing him a great deal of good fortune, and this influence continues unabated."
"According to statistics, the first time one obtains 100 points of purple luck, one will obtain 300 points of cyan luck every month for the next hundred years. After a hundred years, it is unpredictable!"
"Hmm, not bad. This income is good. It's not a waste of my hard work in farming. The imperial court even granted me the title of Marquis of Xiaoshan. It's alright. Let's move on to the next item."
"Because the host is charitable and has secretly bribed storytellers to accumulate fame, many people are sincerely grateful to you and admire you, and you have gained thirty points of cyan luck."
"Hmm, I've already got my hands on most of the storytellers in the world. It seems there's no more luck to be had in this area, and nothing more to explore. Next."
"Because the host is the protagonist of a love story between a human and a demon, he has once again received ten points of purple luck from the Heavenly Dao this month."
"Sigh, Heaven has become cunning. They've started limiting the amount of luck we can give each month. Honestly, it's a far cry from how much I could draw back then," Xu Xian complained subconsciously.
I remember the first time, I drew 300 points of purple luck at once, which completely confused the Heavenly Dao.
At that moment, it seemed as if Heaven was calculating why this situation had occurred! Xu Xian was alive and well, and his life was not in danger, so where did his luck go?
However, given her limited intelligence, although she sensed Xu Xian's problem, she didn't immediately eliminate him. After all, she still hoped Xu Xian would continue to be involved in the love affair between a human and a demon.
However, Heaven also kept this in mind, and from then on, there was an upper limit to the amount of luck Xu Xian could obtain each month.
However, the system ignored Xu Xian's complaints and continued to calculate Xu Xian's income.
"Ten thousand acres of fertile land, eight thousand tenant households, all grateful and thankful, will receive three hundred points of red luck each month..."
"A thousand elite retainers, formidable strength, have gained twenty points of yellow luck..."
"Three large chambers of commerce, nine medium-sized chambers of commerce, and twenty small chambers of commerce, for a total of..."
Although the tenants, servants, and merchants collect very little fortune, Xu Xian still values it highly because this is the key to sustainable development!
Even if the Heavenly Dao's blessing is gone, as long as these industries still exist, I won't suddenly lose all my income!
After all, these days, where are there so many monsters without powerful backers for Xu Xian to slay and eliminate?
Without a powerful backer, you lack advanced techniques and powerful magic weapons, so how could you possibly cultivate to the fifth rank? And what's the point of killing someone if you don't have the cultivation level of the fifth rank?
Meanwhile, Xu Xian, accompanied by his guards, was inspecting his family's estate. Although Xu Xian's cultivation level meant he didn't need these guards, living in the mortal realm meant he had to abide by its rules.
Rules like "a white dragon does not wear fish clothes" and "a wise man does not stand under a dangerous wall" must definitely be followed!
After all, over the years, besides the 100,000 mu of land, Xu Xian also owned hundreds of estates deep in the mountains. These were all wealth and good fortune, but at the same time, they were also limitations!
"Master, Master, Madam has something urgent to discuss with you and wants you to return home as soon as possible."
"Oh? Is there something you need?"
"It looks like she's about to give birth!"
