Lin Chen held his waist and limped towards his own courtyard, his back figure filled with indescribable desolation.

Lying on the bed, both body and mind exhausted, he felt hopeless.

"This demon woman really doesn't play by the rules!" Lin Chen looked up and howled at the sky.

[Congratulations, host, for conquering the Demon Lord. You have been rewarded with a formation diagram.]

The voice of the system suddenly sounded in his mind.

This instantly made Lin Chen feel refreshed.

He sat up with a bang, "Formation diagram!"

Formation masters were even rarer than alchemists.

In the entire continent, there were no more than a hundred formation masters, which was an incredibly rare number.

Formation diagrams were even more rarely seen. Ordinary people might never see one in their lifetime.

This... Just by conquering, there was such an amazing reward?

No... Who exactly conquered whom?

Lin Chen still cared about someone's despicable act of eating and running!

Impatiently, he opened the formation diagram and looked at it for a while, but he felt dizzy and confused. He didn't recognize any of the words on it, and the diagram itself was even more obscure.

"System, I don't understand."

[User manual will be issued after the child is born.]

Damn it!

Lin Chen was directly angered and cursed.

What kind of situation is this?

When did the system learn to make empty promises?

Isn't this deceiving people? Giving you the meat and bones, but saying that you can't eat it now, you have to wait until you're almost starving to death to eat it.

Who can endure this? Who can!

Lin Chen gritted his teeth, but it was useless.

In the end, he could only sigh helplessly and say, "Then, do I have any substantial rewards now?"

[You can be rewarded with a set of massages, as the host's body is severely uncomfortable.] The tone of the system was somewhat mocking.

Who is feeling uncomfortable?

As a man, he must maintain his dignity. Lin Chen stubbornly said, "I'm perfectly fine!"

So what if he was completely used up by the Demon Lord? It didn't count for anything, it didn't count for anything at all.

The competition between the new sects was about to begin. Lin Chen felt that no matter how much he trained at home, it would be useless. He still had to take them out and test their skills and make up for any deficiencies.

He lay on the bed for three full days before finally recovering.

The first thing he did was gather all the girls who had been training diligently together.

Because of their hard work day and night, there were still quite a few girls in the back courtyard who were pregnant. There were only a few who could go out with him.

Lin Chen counted and found that there were a total of six.

"There is always a need for a competition between newly established sects. I think I should take you out for some experience first. The content of the competition is to kill demons, so I plan to take you to Baolai Mountain for training." Lin Chen got straight to the point.

He had become quite fluent in communicating with these women now. He no longer felt unsure about what to say, afraid of saying too much and them not being able to accept it.

After spending some time together, Lin Chen had also discovered that although these girls appeared gentle and weak, most of them had strong resilience. Their thick skin was even thicker than his.

When everyone heard that they could go out for training, they were all extremely happy.

Only Zhou Ran hesitated. After everyone dispersed, she found Lin Chen and said, "I won't go."

"Why don't you want to go? You have made great progress recently," Lin Chen frowned at her. "Could it be that you're afraid of real combat?"

Zhou Ran shook her head. "Of course I'm not afraid of real combat. If I leave, who will take care of Sister Xiang'er? And there are so many children in the courtyard."

"Don't worry, there will always be sisters staying at home. Besides, we now have an alchemist and a poison master in the Lin family. Sister Xiang'er will be fine," Lin Chen had already thought about all of this beforehand.

The reason he had entrusted Zhou Ran with managing the affairs at home was partly because of Zhou Lianxiang's recommendation, and partly because Zhou Ran was indeed meticulous in handling things.

But that didn't mean she could only stay at home and take care of these matters.

"But I'm still worried," Zhou Ran expressed her concerns and conflicts.

Opportunities for training outside were rare, so she really wanted to go.

Moreover, it was rare for a married woman to be able to go out for training.

Seeing Zhou Ran like this, Lin Chen smiled, walked up to her, took her hand, and walked towards Zhou Lianxiang's courtyard.

Seeing the two holding hands, Zhou Ran blushed, her heart racing, and her mind went blank.

They soon arrived at Zhou Lianxiang's courtyard.

Zhou Lianxiang's belly was already big, and she would give birth soon.

She dared not move around now and just lay in bed resting every day.

Seeing Lin Chen bringing Zhou Ran in, she stood up and smiled, "The family head is here?"

Lin Chen walked up to her, supported her, and whispered, "Take it easy. Although you are pregnant now, you still need to have some exercise, otherwise it will be too hard during childbirth, understand?"

"Don't worry, family head. I will be careful," Zhou Lianxiang leaned back on the soft cushion and smiled gently.

Perhaps because she was about to become a mother, Zhou Lianxiang seemed even more gentle and kind than before, and she looked even more radiant.

It can be seen that the whole pregnancy period was quite good.

"I came here today because I have something to ask you," Lin Chen glanced at Zhou Ran and continued, "The competition for the new sect is about to begin. I plan to take the sisters from the courtyard out for some training. Zhou Ran is also among them, but she is worried about you and doesn't want to go."

"What?" Zhou Lianxiang's smile disappeared.

The women in the back courtyard all understood how rare this training opportunity was.

Zhou Lianxiang became anxious and frowned at Zhou Ran, "What's wrong with you? This is such a great opportunity. Why don't you want to go? You have been practicing day and night these days. Don't you want to test your skills?"

"I'm worried about you. Your belly is so big now, and I can't rest assured if you stay here alone!" Zhou Ran justified herself.

Zhou Lianxiang waved her hand. "I'm fine. There are so many people taking care of me at home. You can go with peace of mind. When you come back, you will probably be just in time for my delivery. You can accompany me then."

"Sister Xiang'er," Zhou Ran clenched her fist, "Please take good care of yourself."

"I know, go back and prepare quickly," Zhou Lianxiang smiled gently. "When you are on the battlefield, don't be nervous or afraid. Just use your usual skills. You are very capable, so don't doubt yourself."

Zhou Ran blushed and nodded heavily before turning and leaving.

"You really have a motherly feeling now," Lin Chen laughed and sat beside her, gently listening to the movements in her belly. He said softly, "These two little ones are quite obedient. They haven't troubled you, right?"

Zhou Lianxiang shook her head and said softly, "These two children are very considerate. After the initial nausea and vomiting, everything has been smooth."

"Although the medicine Master Liang sent is a bit hard to swallow, you still have to persist. Nothing is more important than the safety of you and your children," Lin Chen took out a whistle and handed it to her. "If there is an emergency, blow this whistle. I will come back immediately and be by your side."
