Chapter 546 Time Flows Like Water
Chapter 546 Time Flows Like Water
Qingyun Sect, Tianjian Pavilion, Mount Sumeru, the Four Great Dynasties, Southern Wilderness, Northern Desert, Western Continent...
It was half a year later when Lin Chen finished visiting and traveling to each place.
Lin Chen has had a perfect six months.
Wherever I go, I am greeted, accompanied, and given gifts.
They ate delicacies from land and sea, drank fine wines, lived in palaces and pavilions, and saw stunningly beautiful women.
The first thing I do every morning when I wake up is drink tea, the second thing is take a walk, and the third thing is attend a banquet.
Drinking at noon, listening to music in the afternoon, attending banquets in the evening, and even having beautiful women "seek guidance on cultivation" late at night.
Lin Chen had thoroughly experienced the customs and culture of the Tianyuan Continent.
The tea from Qingyun Sect is fragrant and sweet, and a sip can evoke the feeling of being enveloped in mist and clouds.
The swords of the Heavenly Sword Pavilion are sharp and domineering; one can feel the soaring sword intent in a single move.
The vegetarian food at Mount Sumeru is simple and bland, but it is a way to cultivate oneself and experience Zen.
The imperial banquets of the four great dynasties were extravagant and lavish, with a single dish being presented in eighteen different ways.
The meat of the monsters in the Southern Wilderness is rugged and bold; a whole roasted cow is served, and you'll eat it with your mouth full of oil.
Xizhou's ice brew is so cold and icy that one sip can cool you from your throat to your stomach, instantly making you feel refreshed.
The Flame Fruit of the Northern Desert is sweet with a hint of spiciness. Taking a bite is like holding a piece of charcoal in your mouth—sweet, spicy, and incredibly satisfying.
Wherever he went, the local leaders personally accompanied him, taking him to visit local historical sites and sample local delicacies.
Lin Chen accepted all comers without hesitation.
If you don't accept it, people will think you look down on them.
If they accept it, they'll feel at ease.
This is called social etiquette and worldly wisdom.
Of course, Lin Chen would also provide some guidance and advice.
He pointed out several flaws in the Qingyun Sect's protective formation.
He pointed out that there were several areas where the swordsmanship of the Heavenly Sword Pavilion could be improved.
He corrected several misinterpretations of Buddhist scriptures concerning Mount Sumeru.
He cleared several blockages in the national fortune formations of the four great dynasties.
He adjusted the cultivation techniques used in the Southern Wilderness, Northern Desert, and Western Regions, as they had some flaws.
As a result, the strength of the various factions has increased considerably.
Those in charge were extremely grateful to Lin Chen, wishing they could worship him and burn three sticks of incense for him every day.
During this time, Lin Chen would also return to the Eastern Region to spend a few days with his family before setting off again.
Liu Ruyan and the others' bellies grew bigger and bigger, and the sight of thirteen big bellies lined up in a row was quite spectacular.
Every time Lin Chen went back, they would surround him, some asking him to touch his belly, some asking him to listen to the baby's movements, and some asking him to name the child.
Lin Chen was so busy he barely had time to breathe; it was even more tiring than traveling.
But he was happy inside, and he looked happy on the outside, smiling from ear to ear.
Lin Nian'er has grown taller again and has become the leader of a group of little girls.
But every time Lin Chen returned, she would run over and hug his legs, tilting her head back to ask:
"Father, what gift did you bring me?"
Her voice was crisp and sweet, melting hearts.
Lin Chen took out all sorts of strange and unusual things from his storage space.
Tea from the Qingyun Sect, sword tassels from the Tianjian Pavilion, Buddhist beads from Mount Sumeru, gold coins from the four great dynasties, demon beast teeth from the Southern Wilderness, ice crystals from the Western Continent, and flame flowers from the Northern Desert.
A dazzling array of colors, piled high on the table.
Lin Nian'er hugged the gift, her eyes crinkling into crescents with laughter, her mouth stretching almost to her ears.
The nine little ones, Lin Nianjun, Lin Nianbei, Lin Nianying, Lin Nianjie, Lin Nianze, Lin Nianzhao, Lin Niansu, Lin Nianruo, and Lin Nianxing, huddled together, chattering like a flock of little sparrows.
Every time Lin Chen went back, he would sit in the courtyard for a while, looking at the children and the women, and his heart would feel warm.
Then Lin Chen would go to the old lady's room to sit for a while and talk to her.
The old lady was still sitting in that armchair, fiddling with her prayer beads, looking out the window at the sky.
Her hair was completely black, the wrinkles on her face had lessened, and her eyes were brighter.
Lin Chen sat down next to her, held her hand, and sat with her for a while.
She didn't say much, only occasionally asking, "Is it cold outside?" or "Is the food good?" Lin Chen answered each question.
As she was leaving, she patted Lin Chen's hand and said, "Go on! I'll take care of things at home!"
Then continue to twirl the prayer beads.
Go to Su Wanqing's room and sit for a while, have a cup of tea with her.
Su Wanqing embroiders every day, making baby bibs in red, yellow, purple, and white, a colorful display that fills the table.
The stitches are fine and the colors are vibrant; the petals are layered and overlapping, just like the real thing.
Lin Chen picked up one of the pieces and looked at it, praising, "Mother, you embroidered it so well." Su Wanqing smiled, her face full of kindness.
Finally, I'll go to Zhao Lingyang's bedroom for a while and see Zhao Kun.
The little guy is over six months old, chubby, with a round face, and smiles at everyone he sees.
When Zhao Lingyang was reviewing the folded paper, she put him in the cradle next to her. He looked at his mother with his big eyes, neither crying nor making a fuss, being unusually well-behaved.
Zhao Lingyang glanced down at him, and he grinned, revealing his pink gums.
It has no teeth, is bald, but has a particularly beautiful smile, like a New Year's picture doll.
Zhao Lingyang smiled gently and continued to annotate the folded paper.
Lin Chen will also join Huan Gu Ye Yu Ba Bai.
Eight hundred girls came and went, but the eight hundred spots were always full.
It wasn't that Lin Chen was greedy; it was that he needed to cultivate.
Lingbo, Chimeng, and Meijiuniang always met as pilgrims on a pilgrimage.
They don't care about cultivation level or the Great Dao; they only care about one thing—getting pregnant.
Finally, Lingbo became pregnant.
That morning, Lingbo didn't come for breakfast, which Meijiuniang found strange, so she went to call her.
Pushing open the door, I saw Lingbo sitting by the window, holding a cup of tea, her face a little pale.
It's not that sickly white, but the kind of white that comes from when some of the body's energy and blood has been drained, like a flower that has been touched by frost.
Mei Jiu Niang paused for a moment, walked over, and placed her hand on Mei Jiu Niang's wrist.
A moment later, her eyes widened, her mouth opened so wide it could fit an egg, and her jaw almost dropped to the ground.
"You're pregnant?"
Lingbo nodded, expressionless, but the corners of her mouth curved slightly, barely noticeable unless you looked closely.
Mei Jiu Niang turned and ran, shouting, "Lin Chen! Ling Bo is pregnant!"
The sound was sharp and piercing, echoing throughout the entire Hehuan Valley.
Lin Chen was practicing boxing in the courtyard when he heard the shout. He stopped, went into Ling Bo's room, sat down next to her, and took her hand.
Lingbo's fingers were cool and trembling slightly. Lin Chen rubbed them to warm them up.
The two sat there in silence for a long time before Lingbo finally spoke.
"I want to go back to Dongshan."
Lin Chen nodded: "Okay, I'll take you."
Lingbo shook her head: "No need, I'll go myself."
Lin Chen looked at her, paused for a moment, and then nodded: "Okay."
With Lingbo's current True Monarch cultivation level, there is no danger on the entire continent, let alone Lin Chen's woman.
Half a month later, Chi Meng also became pregnant. She told Lin Chen and then returned to the Gu God Palace.
Mei Jiu Niang, holding Lin Chen's arm, pouted and said:
"Now I'm all alone, so you'd better work hard."
Lin Chen smiled helplessly: "Okay."
