This is a bizarre rule, isn't it? It's supposed to grant me many children and good fortune

Chapter 468 Wife, you've gone astray!

Lin Feng suppressed a laugh: "Then... how about you drink your fill first before you start cooking?"

Song Yao's eyes darted around: "I have a brilliant plan!"

As she spoke, she put the wine bottle aside, walked to the stone wall, took down a soul lamp, and poured out the oil from the lamp.

They poured the oil from three soul lamps in a row until Karen's entire body was covered with a shiny film of oil before they stopped.

"Ningning," she took two steps back and looked at Xia Ning, "you light the fire."

Xia Ning nodded, raised her right hand, and slightly bent the tip of her index finger.

"call out--"

With a flick of her fingertip, a golden spark traced a graceful arc and landed precisely on Karen's robe.

"boom--"

Flames shot into the air instantly, filling the air with a nauseating odor.

Lin Feng retreated to the entrance of the space, leaned against the stone wall, and looked at the burning flame from afar.

Xia Ning stood beside him, reached out and took his hand, their fingers intertwined, without saying a word.

Song Yao stood in front of the flames for a while, then stepped back to the two of them, raised her hands, palms facing each other, and slowly separated them by a distance in front of her chest.

A stream of cyan energy began to condense between her palms.

"call--"

Song Yao suddenly pushed her palms forward.

The cyan whirlwind shot out of his hand and hurtled towards the burning Karen.

The wind fanned the flames, and the fire borrowed the power of the wind.

The whirlwind whipped up the flames, raising, widening, and transforming the flames that were originally burning only on the surface of the corpse into a rotating pillar of fire.

"Alright, let's go!"

The three of them exited the circular space and quickly walked out along the passage they had come from.

At the end of the passage, Song Yao chanted a spell in a low voice, and the stone door opened in response.

But she didn't rush to leave. Instead, she stopped at the door, raised her hand, tapped lightly on the mechanism with her fingertips, and listened for a few moments.

Then, with a slight upturn of his lips, he clenched his right fist and slammed it into the stone pillar.

"boom--!!!"

With a loud crash, the stone pillar cracked.

Cracks spread outwards from the point of impact, quickly covering the entire stone pillar like a spider web.

The rune's light flickered a few times within the crack before extinguishing completely.

The rocks on the stone pillar began to peel off, falling piece by piece to the ground and raising a cloud of dust.

Song Yao clapped her hands. "Now I can go back to sleep in peace."

She raised the bottle and gulped down another large mouthful, her expression one of blissful intoxication, as if she were floating on air.

........................

Round building.

Lin Feng had just stepped into Xia Ning's room when he heard the door close behind him.

"Click".

The sound of the latch engaging was exceptionally clear in the quiet room.

He turned his head, about to say something, when Xia Ning had already pounced on him.

She hooked one arm around his neck and placed the other on his chest, pushing him back a few steps.

Lin Feng's knees hit the edge of the bed, causing him to lose his balance and fall backward onto the soft mattress.

Xia Ning pressed forward.

Her long hair fell from her shoulders, the ends gently brushing against Lin Feng's cheek, carrying a faint fragrance.

She didn't say anything, but simply lowered her head and kissed him.

Lin Feng wrapped his arms around her waist, pulling her closer to his chest and deepening the kiss.

Only the sounds of their intertwined breathing and the rustling of fabric remained in the room.

After kissing for what seemed like an eternity, Xia Ning finally released his lips and slightly raised her head.

Her breathing was a little rapid, her cheeks were flushed, and her lips were glossy and moist.

She looked down at Lin Feng, a sly glint in her eyes.

Then, she sat up and reached out to touch something.

Lin Feng stared intently, his pupils suddenly contracting—

rope.

"Wife," Lin Feng swallowed, "what are you trying to do?"

Xia Ning's lips slowly curved into a smile.

"The way you used a rope to probe the way on the snow mountain gave me an idea, and I decided to give it a try."

Lin Feng paused for a moment, a hint of joy flashing in his eyes, which he quickly suppressed—

I can't let Ningning find out that I'm actually really looking forward to it.

"Honey, calm down..."

"I am very calm."

Xia Ning leaned down and placed her hands on either side of his ears: "Be good, don't move around."

Lin Feng swallowed hard: "Wife, you've gone astray."

Xia Ning lowered her head and pecked him on the corner of his lips, then whispered in his ear:

"I'm going to be a little bad, so you won't still be thinking about that purple-eyed girl."

........................

On the windowsill.

Several bats hung upside down under the eaves, their wings folded, like a few black folded umbrellas.

They were preparing to sleep, but after a busy night, it was almost dawn and time to rest.

But the noise coming from inside the house made their ears perk up in unison.

"Squeak squeak squeak..."

The smallest bat, with grayish fur, turned its head, blinked its beady black eyes, and looked at the largest bat lying on the far side.

"Big brother, did you hear that?"

The large bat had already tucked its head into its wings, but upon hearing the noise, it slowly poked its head out, its small eyes half-open and half-closed.

"I heard you," its voice carried a sense of the vicissitudes of a bat, "Humans, they just love doing these things."

Another bat chimed in, tilting its head. "Seriously? It sounds like it's struggling?"

"Struggling?" The giant bat narrowed its eyes, giving him a look that said, "You're still too young." "That's enjoyment, understand?"

The gray bat's eyes widened: "Enjoyment? More enjoyable than eating honey?"

The giant bat scoffed and rolled its eyes: "Eating honey? That's nothing compared to this."

A longing gleamed in the gray bat's eyes: "Brother, I want to try too..."

The large bat glanced at it sideways: "You? You can't even catch a female bat, and you want to try and pull some fancy tricks?"

........................

The next day, sunlight streamed in through the cracks in the window, falling on the bed and on Xia Ning's exposed shoulders.

It was already past nine in the morning.

Lin Feng woke up first.

He turned his head to look at Xia Ning, who was still fast asleep—her eyelashes were long, casting a small fan-shaped shadow under her eyes, her lips were slightly pouting, and her breathing was even and long.

He leaned over and placed a kiss on her forehead.

Xia Ning wrinkled her nose, snuggled closer to him, mumbled something indistinctly, and fell asleep again.

Lin Feng smiled slightly, his gaze falling on his wrist, where several faint red marks from the straps were still visible.

"You're awake." Xia Ning's lazy voice suddenly came from her arms.

Lin Feng nodded and chuckled softly, "Hmm, were you satisfied last night?"

Xia Ning pressed her face against his chest, her voice muffled, carrying a hint of satisfied languor: "Mmm, very satisfied."

"Get up~" Lin Feng patted her buttocks. "The sun's already high in the sky."

"Lie down a little longer," Xia Ning said coquettishly, wrapping her arms around him again.

"Xiao Zhixia is waiting for you to come back and feed her," Lin Feng reminded her.

Xia Ning suddenly realized and slapped her forehead: "I completely forgot about Xiao Zhixia!"
