Chapter 247: Solve One by One
"What are you doing?"
Looking at the dazzling, drooping maidens, Lin Chuan had only one thought in his heart.
Do something I love to do.
But he didn't dare to say it.
Although Jiaojiao Niangzi frantically blinked to hint at him, Lin Chuan still held back.
The initial harmony has been achieved, and the day of sharing a big quilt will soon arrive.
Lin Chuan knew exactly what should be done now, namely soothing the maidens' hearts.
Hearts must be in the same place to wear a single pair of trousers.
"Xue'er is right; the Black Mist matter is beyond our current strength, so there's no need to dwell on it."
"I think there are three points we need to resolve right now."
"First, from now on, everyone living under one roof must be tolerant and understanding of each other."
"If you harbor resentment, you can direct it at me."
With the emotional bonds formed in the Reincarnation dream, Lin Chuan believes that after the maidens live together for a while, they will gradually become harmonious.
Then later let Jiaojiao Niangzi stoke the fire,
and the big quilt co‑sleep will be achieved, won't it?
But the time can't be too long; if they live together for too long, it may backfire, making them both weary of each other.
"Everyone, listen to your husband."
Tu Shan Jiao Jiao smiled and agreed.
The other Four Women fell silent, taking it as tacit consent.
Lin Chuan smiled, knowing the first point was merely empty talk; the real importance lay in what followed.
"Second matter."
"Xiao Rumeng is still asleep, bound by an unknown Forbidden state; Mo Sangyu and I must try every method to save her."
"Xue'er, Yun Zhi Yi, Jiaojiao, Lü Ya, please forgive us for this matter."
Lin Chuan put this matter on the table out of respect for Sangyu and the other maidens.
The women all saw Rumeng's condition.
Given their current relationship, there is no way to block it.
"We, the aunts, are also half a mother to Rumeng."
Tu Shan Jiao Jiao, still the first to support, said, "I agree with my husband's view; besides, Xiao Rumeng is so obedient and cute, she must be saved!"
"I have no objection to Rumeng's case; saving a person is paramount."
Surprisingly, Ye Xue was the second to voice an opinion.
Perhaps because of daughter Qing Fan's predicament, she felt more empathy for this matter and could better understand Sangyu's hardships.
Qing Fan's awakening is largely fine; she just slept too long and needs some time to fully regain vitality.
"I... I also agree."
Lü Ya raised her hand cautiously.
The girl was already kind‑hearted, even helped take care of Rumeng for a short period, and she loves the little girl deeply at heart.
"I want to say something."
Xiao Qingmei noticed Yun Zhi Yi's expression was somewhat unusual.
Lin Chuan looked into the slightly melancholy eyes opposite him and said, "You can say anything; we'll solve it together."
"Putting it on the table is better than harboring resentment in the heart."
"I..." Xiao Qingmei began, then stopped.
Lin Chuan probably guessed.
But the words could not come from his mouth.
After a long while, Xiao Qingmei gathered courage and whispered, "I... I also want to ask A Chuan for a child."
Ye Xue, Mo Sangyu, and Tu Shan Jiao Jiao's expressions instantly hardened.
Lü Ya lowered her head, her small hand clenched, lost in thought.
"I agree."
A moment later, Tu Shan Jiao Jiao raised her hand again, "Fair and just, each gets one child; Yun Baobao and Lü Ya should each have one, right?"
"Huh?"
Lü Ya snapped her head up, "But... may we?"
"Yes, you may."
Mo Sangyu immediately nodded.
"As long as my husband can keep the water level even, I have no objection."
Ye Xue replied seriously.
At this moment, Lin Chuan felt a strange sensation; why was the topic gradually drifting off?
"Fine."
It was a bit off‑track, but Lin Chuan had intended to take a side path anyway.
Make a baby?
Isn't the opportunity here then?
"Once Rumeng's issue is resolved, we'll discuss this matter seriously; Yun Zhi Yi, Lü Ya, what do you think?"
"Hmm."
Yun Zhi Yi nodded lightly.
Lü Ya bobbed her head frantically, like a chick pecking at rice.
"Now, tell the third matter."
Lin Chuan looked at Lü Ya and said, "Regarding Lü Ya's inability to cultivate, I've found a solution."
"Perhaps I need to spend some time alone with Lü Ya to help her metamorphose."
"I hope everyone can understand."
In the Ancient God Absolute Realm, the Dream Reincarnation reward was settled; Lin Chuan merged with the Perfect Soul and also obtained the Chaotic Flower Saliva, a cosmic marvel.
The former may help Rumeng break free from the Forbidden state.
The latter can allow Lü Ya to shed her Mortal Dust body and embark on the cultivation path.
As for how far the metamorphosis can go, Lin Chuan cannot say.
"Excellent."
Tu Shan Jiao Jiao smiled brightly, "Poor little Lü Ya can finally cultivate; she no longer has to worry about aging or becoming ugly."
"This is only proper."
Sangyu and Yun Zhi Yi both nodded in agreement.
In a past-life dream, the Sword Spirit Girl did not hesitate to abandon her last chance, helping the Empress ascend to the Immortal Realm; they will never forget that scene.
That profound sincerity, forsaking all feelings for a single person, made them feel that the girl deserved all tolerance.
A person like that should have no regrets.
At least there should be no regrets in love.
"I have no objection either."
Ye Xue recalled Lü Ya's earlier retelling.
In her mind, a scene of a mortal girl waiting alone, finally gazing at the distant Horizon's end with lingering regret, surfaced involuntarily.
A trivial span of years for Tianmo Chuan is the whole trajectory of Lü Ya's life.
She has only him.
And he still has far too many wonders beyond her.
Ye Xue felt a slight guilt now, as if her own appearance had taken everything from Lü Ya.
She always claimed she arrived first, but must admit Lü Ya came a bit earlier.
"Everyone agreed?"
Lin Chuan was rather surprised.
He had prepared all sorts of explanations, yet the progress turned out unexpectedly smooth, with no conflict erupting throughout.
"Then..."
Lin Chuan smiled, "Prepare, prepare, let's begin."
"Young master, let's look at Rumeng first," Lü Ya said anxiously, "I'm not in a hurry; we can wait longer, any time works."
"Alright."
Lin Chuan nodded; by comparison, Rumeng's matter was indeed more troublesome.
It might even endanger life.
"Then I'll go cook a meal for everyone."
Accustomed to busyness, Lü Ya still regarded herself as the Xiao Ya Huan who must look after everyone.
"I'll accompany you."
Tu Shan Jiao Jiao laughed, "As the saying goes, to capture a man's heart, first capture his stomach; I'll closely observe and learn Lü Ya's cooking."
The others smiled silently.
Lin Chuan felt inwardly, Jiaojiao Niangzi may enjoy stirring trouble and often revel in others' misfortune, yet she truly has done much for this household.
No wonder the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan excels at emotional care.
"Sangyu, let's go."
Lin Chuan took Sangyu's hand and walked toward Rumeng's sleeping chamber.
