Zhou Ran was surprised and looked at Zhou Lianxiang, smiling as he said, "I understand now. Sister, you're not causing trouble at all. You're just lovesick. You got better as soon as the head of the family returned."

"Hey! You little brat, you have a foul mouth. What nonsense are you talking?" Zhou Lianxiang blushed and scolded in a shy and coquettish manner.

Seeing this, Lin Chen also smiled.

There were many women in the courtyard, but they were all there for procreation purposes. Apart from during spiritual cultivation, they rarely interacted with each other.

Only with Zhou Lianxiang did there exist a sense of warmth in the house.

Moreover, Zhou Lianxiang was kind. Although they were all women sent from different families, Zhou Lianxiang had never suppressed anyone. She had always taken care of these girls.

This made Lin Chen like her even more.

Even if she didn't have a child in her belly, Lin Chen didn't want to see her suffer.

After dinner, Lin Chen still couldn't rest assured and called for Medicine Master Liang, saying, "Take another good look."

"I am an alchemist, not a gynecologist!" Medicine Master Liang roared loudly.

Who would boss people around like this? Isn't there any justice left?

But Lin Chen didn't think he was being excessive. He chuckled and said, "There's no distinction when it comes to saving lives!"

"Go to hell with your 'no distinction'." Medicine Master Liang rolled his eyes and quickly examined Zhou Lianxiang's pulse. He whispered, "It's because the twins are strong while the mother is weak, so there's such a strong reaction. Even if a deity came, it wouldn't help."

Lin Chen frowned. "Then you must have some way to make her feel better, right? When will this end?"

"Yes, if it were just one child, it wouldn't be so difficult. The question is, are you willing?" Medicine Master Liang was also quite straightforward.

"I'm not willing. I want both children!" Zhou Lianxiang became anxious. "Master, I'm not suffering. I want both children."

Seeing her like this, Lin Chen's heart softened again. He gently kissed her and said softly, "Okay, okay, don't get excited. Take care of yourself."

"But I have a medicine that can replenish qi and improve concentration. If taken during pregnancy, it won't have any other effects, but it will greatly improve sleep." Medicine Master Liang spoke again.

Lin Chen took a deep breath. "I knew you were hiding something. Bring it out!"

"I don't have any ready-made ones. I have to make it now." Medicine Master Liang shrugged.

He sat there and began to write the prescription. "These are relatively common medicinal materials. Just send someone to buy them. Drink a bowl a day when you come back, and you'll sleep well."

Watching Medicine Master Liang's smooth movements, Lin Chen gritted his teeth in anger and said in a bad tone, "If that's the case, why didn't you give her the medicine earlier?"

"Which woman doesn't go through this when she's pregnant? How would I know that your wife is so delicate?" Medicine Master Liang rolled his eyes.

Soon, the prescription was ready.

Lin Chen glanced at the prescription and handed it to Zhou Ran. "My women are precious."

"Ran'er, make more of these medicines. All the pregnant women in the family should drink them!" Lin Chen instructed.

Now that Zhou Lianxiang had a child, Lin Chen naturally couldn't sleep here at night.

He went straight to the study.

There were already quite a few children now, so Lin Chen also wanted to rest well.

Previously, he couldn't be distracted on the battlefield while hunting demonic beasts. Now it was time to open the system and collect rewards.

"System, what rewards are there for this battle?"

[Congratulations, host, for slaying a ninth-grade monster. You are rewarded with a set of martial arts techniques, the Ice Soul Divine Art, which is the highest-level technique for water-based spiritual roots.]

[Reward: One Ice Soul Divine Sword. The host can choose to keep it for themselves or give it to someone else.]

Lin Chen felt exhausted, but all he received was a set of Ice Soul Divine Art and one Ice Soul Sword?

He couldn't help but feel that the rewards were becoming less and less impressive.

However, he quickly opened the Ice Soul Divine Art and, after experiencing its wonders, found it incredibly fascinating.

"This technique is truly extraordinary. If I can cultivate it, it will be truly astonishing. It seems that my precious daughter will have a bright future." Lin Chen smiled with satisfaction.

It should be noted that his precious daughter was the only one in the family with a natural high-grade water-based spiritual root, making this martial arts technique the best for her.

Thinking of his daughter reminded him of Zhou Yuan.

Lin Chen glanced outside and walked straight towards Zhou Yuan's courtyard.

It was already late at night, but the lights were still on in Zhou Yuan's courtyard. Lin Chen furrowed his brows slightly, walked to the door, and knocked.

Soon, Zhou Yuan opened the door from the inside and was momentarily stunned when she saw him. Then, her face blushed slightly, "Master, why are you here so late?"

"I came to find you to sleep." Lin Chen chuckled.

Seeing her blush, he laughed even louder.

"Shh, the child is sleeping." Zhou Yuan immediately made a gesture for silence and let him in.

On the bed, the plump and adorable Mingzhu was sound asleep, like a snowball.

Lin Chen looked at her with joy, unable to resist reaching out and pinching the baby's cheek.

He smiled gently, "It's only been a month, but this child has grown so much."

"Children grow quickly." Zhou Yuan looked at the little bundle with tenderness, smiling and saying, "Mingzhu eats well, sleeps well, and doesn't cry when she's awake. She's cute and well-behaved."

Being born with a high-grade water-based spiritual root, she was naturally different from ordinary children.

Seeing the tenderness in Zhou Yuan's eyes, he knew that she genuinely loved this child.

He smiled and then whispered, "You've worked hard. The child is asleep, so you can have the nurse take her away. Why are you still here?"

"If I can't find the nurse at night, the child will be anxious." Zhou Yuan smiled and handed him a glass of water.

He sat back down and continued with his needlework.

Lin Chen sat there and watched for a while, realizing that she was embroidering children's clothes.

"Do you really like children?" Lin Chen smiled and sat down beside her.

The unique scent of pine resin on a man made Zhou Yuan feel a little uncomfortable, so she instinctively moved away.

Although there had been intimate moments between them, Zhou Yuan still felt somewhat unfamiliar with Lin Chen.

Lin Chen laughed and lay down on the bed, saying lightly, "I just came back from outside and I'm very tired. Even if I have any thoughts, my physical strength can't keep up. You don't have to worry."

"I'm not worried." Zhou Yuan glanced at him somewhat shyly. "Master, you're tired. Let me take care of you and go to sleep."

Lin Chen shook his head and directly transmitted the Ice Soul Divine Art to her, whispering, "You have a water-based spiritual root, so this martial arts technique is very suitable for you. I thought of sending it to you so that you can cultivate it well. When Mingzhu grows up a little, you can teach her and let her also practice this martial arts technique."

Zhou Yuan looked at Lin Chen in surprise, "Won't you send her to Eternal Immortal Sect?"

"Why should she go to Eternal Immortal Sect? She is the beloved daughter of the family, receiving all the love and care. If she goes to Eternal Immortal Sect, she will just be an unknown disciple. I can't bear to see my daughter suffer." Lin Chen said matter-of-factly.
