Main Character:

Shen Yao

"You and I know your parents' nature; unless you voluntarily withdraw from the Patrollers, they'll never truly rest easy."

Xi Yi's words were directly rejected by Xi Chen: "No, I want to do it."

If he didn't seize this opportunity to improve himself, once something happened in reality, he wouldn't be able to protect his family at all.

"Strength is only useful when held in your own hands, Eldest Young Master. You manage the Company; you understand this best."

Xi Chen said softly, then looked up toward Outside: "I'm going back to my room first; we'll talk tomorrow if anything comes up."

Xi Yi nodded helplessly, and after seeing Xi Chen enter the room, he shook his head and sighed, going to soothe Xi Yanqing and Shen Manzhu.

Sometimes, verbal comfort is the most scarce and powerless form of behavior.

Xi Chen stayed at Home Presence and slept, and when he woke up in the morning, he checked his phone again.

Tsk, nothing at all.

Xi Chen was annoyed, but thinking of what Shen Yao had said when he returned, he could understand why she ignored him.

Once again rallying himself to deal with his parents and Eldest Young Master Outside, Xi Chen felt that taking on roles was indeed the right choice.

"Xi Chen, what do you mean?"

Shen Manzhu looked at her Youngest Son, her tone displeased, thinking that he had finally returned only to want to go out again.

"Stay home obediently for a few days; your mother and I are this old already."

"Your and your Eldest Young Master's marriage—at least one of you should satisfy us."

Xi Yanqing felt his two sons were perfect in every way—personality, looks, even ancestry—so why had they remained single with no movement?

Xi Yanqing, unconsciously stepping into the psychology of pushing marriage, began nagging about some of his business partners.

Shen Manzhu had a wider range of criteria than Xi Yanqing; as long as the girl was decent, she agreed.

Facing this topic, Xi Yi and Xi Chen, the brothers, always avoided responding.

Today was no different; Xi Yi lowered his head to eat, planning to use the Company as an excuse, but before he could speak, Xi Chen on the other side agreed first.

Agreed?!

Xi Yi widened his eyes, his bowl and chopsticks motionless: "Do you have a suitable match?"

Xi Yanqing and Shen Manzhu looked over in unison: "Who is this person?"

Xi Chen:...

Xi Chen finished the food in his mouth, drank some water, then slowly revealed part of the matter between him and Shen Yao.

Some things still had to be hidden, after all, Shen Yao was a guest of honor at the Investigation Bureau and among the Patrollers, and he had benefited from her influence.

"This girl—is she easy to get along with? When will you bring her back to see us?"

Shen Manzhu's eyes were bright, her whole being radiating joy from inside out.

Xi Yanqing focused more on: "You met in a Strange Instance, meaning she's someone who needs to enter Instances—won't that be too unsafe? If something happens, wouldn't our son suffer heartbreak?"

Xi Yi focused on whether Xi Chen had been deceived: "Some people may have ulterior motives; you must be extra careful in this regard."

After hearing his family's words, Xi Chen smiled and explained that Shen Yao wouldn't be that kind of person.

Moreover, being together, he was the one taking advantage; the other party's identity was much higher.

The three family members:...

Shen Manzhu clapped her hands: "Then can you handle her?"

It turned out his son was eating soft rice; despite this appearance indeed being outstanding, some soft rice was indeed not good to eat.

Xi Yanqing coughed, telling Shen Manzhu to watch her words.

What did "handle her" mean? Was his son a useless flower vase? His son had strength.

"Still, you need to be more careful; it's best to find someone more suitable. At least we parents won't have to worry about our child suffering a loss."

Xi Chen:...

Xi Chen said nothing, thinking that once he brought Shen Yao home, the words spoken now probably wouldn't count.

Shen Yao didn't know about Xi Chen's situation far away in Jing Shi; right now she was in Closed-door Cultivation improving her Cultivation Realm.

Taking medicine and various auxiliary means (Spirit Stones), Shen Yao's Cultivation Realm rose rapidly.

A feeling she hadn't experienced in the Cultivation World before, she now felt deeply.

No wonder Xi Chen could exclusively gain Shen Yao's favor; it was because Xi Chen was pure and ignorant of worldly affairs.

If it were some old hand, after seeing the situation Shen Yao had arranged here, they would surely cling to her thigh without leaving.

But Xi Chen didn't think so much, still firmly doing his own thing.

Xi Chen didn't know at all that being by Shen Yao's side was a huge advantage.

Whether it was the Investigation Bureau or the Patrollers, they would only try to win him over.

"Host, aren't you afraid she'll frame you? Some people hide very deeply."

The System even felt that what Shen Yao did in this world was too gentle and harmless.

What if some fool really thought they should control Shen Yao in their own hands? Humanity is the most unreliable thing.

"If framed, just switch to someone else," Shen Yao had a wide range of options.

Even if in this world the Investigation Bureau and Patrollers were the Behind-the-scenes Boss, Shen Yao had means to counter them.

Those Storage Bags in the space weren't for show; everything she had done so far was to raise the mission completion limit.

"Although the title of Savior is of immense help to the mission, I cannot just watch and bear the sin of these ordinary people's lives on my back."

"System, I know perfectly well about your communication with this world's consciousness."

Shen Yao wasn't bluffing the system; if the system didn't usually like to run its mouth, how could she have performed so many operations against her nature?

System: ……?!!!

The system was stunned in place by Shen Yao's words; its whole being was dumbfounded, its mechanical voice glitching, even emitting crackling sounds.

Shen Yao: ……Truly weak

The system didn't understand how it could be manipulated by its host when it clearly hadn't said much.

It hid in a corner, gloomily growing all kinds of mushrooms, until it poked its head out again.

"Host"

This one "Host" had eighteen bends like a mountain road, directly bringing out all the system's grievance.

Shen Yao: ……

Shen Yao felt the system was too fragile; there would be so many missions in the future, including upgrade missions that would certainly be encountered, and if the system didn't pull its weight she would be worked to death.

"What are you afraid of? Am I not helping you avoid these troubles right now?"

"Never mind what tricks the investigators and patrollers have hidden up their sleeves."

"Right now they are indeed working hard for the whole country, even the entire planet."

That was enough; future events hadn't happened yet, and overthinking would do Shen Yao no good.

"You don't need to worry about this and fear that; no matter whether the Savior's title falls on my head or my children's heads, you are the one who profits the most," including herself.

So their goals were aligned; preparing for the worst, they fundamentally weren't afraid of a capsize.

"Alright, next I must raise my own cultivation to Golden Core as soon as possible."

"You pay attention to the surrounding situation, including matters outside related to the Magic Qi Invasion."

The pace of the Magic Qi Invasion is accelerating, on par with the Spiritual Qi Revival.

It is unknown whether it is because Shen Yao's entry accelerated the main plot progress of the mission world, or because some of her actions made the mastermind hiding behind the scenes anxious.

In short, this world is advancing irreversibly; only everyone living on this planet can save the whole planet — counting on Shen Yao alone to save the world is a novel, fundamentally impossible.

Xi Chen left saying it would be three months in the valley, but when Xi Chen returned from outside, half a year had already passed.

In this half year, Shen Yao also raised her Foundation Establishment cultivation to Golden Core cultivation.

Being able to have such fast progress, she still had to thank the pills the system gave initially.

With strong Spirit Root aptitude, plus her willingness to spend the capital, there was nothing she couldn't achieve.

It's just that advancing too fast causes the Spiritual Power in the body to become hollow, requiring daily stabilization.

But compared to cultivation, these are all minor issues; at least Shen Yao felt she profited greatly.

"You, you you you"

Xi Chen stared at Shen Yao with wide eyes and gaping mouth, especially at Shen Yao's unconcealed large belly.

Pr-pregnant!

Shen Yao is pregnant, most likely with his child, but he didn't know.

Xi Chen was directly stunned by this news; his whole person was dizzy and didn't know what to say.

Shen Yao smiled, very thoughtfully helping the other to the room to sit down.

"In another three months, you will be able to see them."

The Spirit Fetus in her belly was excessively active, especially since Shen Yao had taken many pills beneficial for Spirit Fetus absorption through the system.

Including the Innate Creation Pill from her time in the Cultivation World, simply a Fu Zening plus version.

Shen Yao was already impatiently waiting for the babies to come out and save the world.

The babies who are still just Spirit Fetuses: ……

Xi Chen supported Shen Yao, eyes fixed dead on the bulging pregnant belly, "You, during the half year I wasn't here, were you alright?"

Shen Yao: ……?

Shen Yao blinked, signaling Xi Chen to calm down; she had been doing wonderfully this half year.

Not only had her cultivation risen, the Spiritual Plants planted around had all grown smoothly, and even the fetus in her belly was a Spirit Fetus — there was nothing better than this.

"Rest assured, I can take care of myself, you" don't need to be this nervous.

Before the words were finished, Xi Chen had already stretched out his hand and pulled Shen Yao into his embrace.

Smelling the clear fragrance on the other, Shen Yao subconsciously encircled the other.

"You, next time tell me, I worry about you," especially since no matter what Shen Yao is still just one person, living in a valley devoid of human presence — just thinking about it made Xi Chen feel his chest tighten, unable to breathe.

During the half year of leaving, Xi Chen hadn't not contacted Shen Yao.

But because Shen Yao was busy daily, the time Xi Chen chatted with her wasn't much.

Discovering he was increasingly unable to do without Shen Yao, Xi Chen directly began pouring out his heart.

Shen Yao listened cutely and obediently, and in the end still had to soothe Xi Chen to temporarily steady him.

As for the marriage matters involved in being pregnant in Modern Times, she is already a cultivator, no need to be too bound by these.

However, Xi Chen's family still needs to be informed, and Shen Yao is currently inconvenient to leave, so they can only wait until the children are born first before speaking.

Upon receiving Xi Chen's news, Xi Yanqing and Shen Manzhu both stared dumbfounded.

Didn't expect this daughter-in-law hasn't even been brought home yet, and the generation after next is already about to be born.

Wow, are young people's speeds all this fast now?

Xi Yi was also stunned; he knew somewhat more content than the parents.

In his words was extreme admiration for his own younger brother's ability; Xi Yi even felt his work become several parts more relaxed.

At least temporarily no need to worry about his own marriage; the parents have the younger generation to care about, he also counts as liberated.

Xi Chen, upon hearing the news:...
