Chaos Spirit Field

Time flew by like a fleeting white horse, and in the blink of an eye, a year had already passed. Tantai Mingyue had finally entered her growth spurt, and her height had grown significantly. The once innocent and lovely little beauty had now blossomed into a graceful and stunning young lady, truly fulfilling the old saying: "Girls change a lot when they grow up, and they become more and more beautiful."

Looking at his increasingly beautiful wife, Zhao Shanhe was secretly delighted, but he still jokingly said, "My wife has grown into a big girl now!"

Tantai Mingyue was not very happy after hearing this. She pouted and said coquettishly, "Husband, when can I be as tall as you? I have to stand on tiptoe to kiss you."

Zhao Shanhe quickly comforted her, "Wife, you are already as tall as Luo Tianshuang. This height is good for a woman."

Tan Tai Ming Yue then asked, "Then who do you think is more beautiful between us, my dear?"

Zhao Shanhe naturally knew how to answer, so he answered without hesitation: "Is there even a need to ask? Of course you are more beautiful!"

They both had their own beauty. If Luo Tianshuang were there, she'd probably say they were both pretty. But Tan Tai Ming Yue didn't seem satisfied with this answer. She pouted and muttered, "I don't believe it! You didn't even kiss me." Before she finished speaking, she offered him a kiss.

Zhao Shanhe, overjoyed at this, embraced Tan Tai Ming Yue tightly, savoring the delicious taste of her cherry-like mouth. Just as the two were lost in the moment, a gentle cough erupted, accompanied by a chilling, yet still murderous, lingering sound. He knew it must be his father-in-law, Tan Tai Feng Du, who seemed displeased with their intimate behavior and was issuing a warning.

After a long moment, their lips parted. Tantai Mingyue, slightly displeased, complained in a certain direction, "Daddy, I know what's important. Can't you give me a little privacy..."

Tantai Fengdu remained silent and did not respond. Zhao Shanhe said, "Mingyue, what else do you want to see me for besides kissing?"

"Husband, I have reached the peak of the ninth level of Qi Refining. After I build my foundation, I will be able to have children with you."

The coughing sound came again, this time it seemed that he was choking on something. Zhao Shanhe took out a small bottle and said, "Mingyue, this is the foundation-building pill I prepared for you. Go back and build your foundation quickly. I'm looking forward to spending the wedding night with you."

"Husband, you are so kind. I will go back to build my foundation."

After Tan Tai Ming Yue left, Tan Tai Feng Du came out from the darkness and asked, "Shan He boy, give Ming Yue a few foundation-building pills."

"Father-in-law, ten top-grade foundation-building pills should be more than enough for Mingyue to build her foundation."

Tan Tai Mieming asked in surprise, "Shanhe boy, you can refine top-grade foundation-building pills. How many pills can you make at a time?"

"About three, not very stable. I'll take care of Brother Mingzhu's foundation-building pills."

"He doesn't need it for now, so it's better to use a top-grade Qi Refining Pill."

Zhao Shanhe pulled a storage bag from his bosom and tossed it gently toward the other person. He then spoke, "Father-in-law, this bag contains four bottles. One bottle contains one hundred top-grade Qi Refining Pills. I believe these pills are enough for Brother Mingzhu to successfully cultivate to the peak of the ninth level of Qi Refining. Another bottle contains ten Foundation Establishment Pills. Furthermore, the third bottle contains Hundred Fruit Wine, carefully brewed especially for Mother-in-law, and the other bottle contains Wuliangye, dedicated to you, Father-in-law. Since I can't contact Grandpa right now, I'm giving you his portion as well. I've left a token of trust; please don't embezzle it."

After hearing this, Tantai Fengdu's face lit up with satisfaction. He responded, "Shanhe, I didn't expect you to be so thoughtful and considerate. You're truly thoughtful! On behalf of Baoer, I want to express my sincere gratitude to you."

Zhao Shanhe smiled modestly and replied, "Father-in-law, you're too kind. We're family after all, so why should we be so polite?"

At this moment, Tantai Fengdu suddenly changed the subject and asked, "Shanhe, you've arranged everything so neatly. Could it be that you're planning on leaving the sect?"

Zhao Shanhe nodded and answered truthfully, "Indeed, father-in-law. My brother Zhao Shanjiang will be getting married on October 8th. I plan to return home and visit him then."

"I see... There are indeed some issues regarding the Ouyang family of Daliang. You must be extremely cautious on this trip. It's still some time until the eighth day of October, and it's only the second day of March. Isn't it a little premature for you to leave now?" Tan Tai Fengdu reminded him with concern.

"Father-in-law, Mingyue is going to retreat, and Tianshuang is also going to retreat. I plan to go out for a walk. The things have been sent out, and it's time to leave."

Tan Tai Fengdu watched Zhao Shanhe's departing figure, lost in thought. Suddenly, a terrifying thought occurred to him. He couldn't help but sigh, "A group of Heavenly Spiritual Roots lost to Five Elements Spiritual Roots."

Zhao Shanhe came to the Spirit Beast Pavilion, not to reminisce about the past, but to find Xiao Hei who had been forgotten for a long time. Ever since his sister Zhao Shanhu left, he had forgotten that he had a mount. If he hadn't been going on a long journey this time, he really wouldn't have remembered it.

Seeing his master coming, Xiao Hei quickly ran over to act like a spoiled child. Zhao Shanhe rubbed his lowered head, climbed onto his back, and looked at Deacon Song who was coming over. He threw out a storage bag and said, "Deacon Song, let's have a drink together when you're free. I have something to do, so I'll leave first."

Deacon Song waited for Zhao Shanhe to leave and checked the storage bag. There were 10,000 spirit stones and a bottle of fine wine in it. It should be the legendary masterpiece - Wuliangye. It was worth it that Zhao Shanhe had taken care of Xiao Hei for the past two years. This kid was really nice.

Xiao Mei'er looked at Tan Tai Fengdu expectantly and asked anxiously, "Husband, how many top-grade Qi Refining Pills did Shanhe give you?"

Tan Tai Fengdu frowned and replied, "Madam, Zhao Shanhe has already left the sect. He made all the preparations before I could even speak. These are specially left for you and your mother. There's the Hundred Fruit Wine for you, and the top-grade Qi Refining Pills and the top-grade Foundation Establishment Pills for Bao'er, which will be enough for him to successfully establish his foundation."

Xiao Mei'er was suspicious and couldn't help asking, "Husband, the arrangements for the mountains and rivers are so thorough and detailed, but why do you look so worried?"

Tantai Fengdu replied, "Madam, Zhao Shanhe actually addressed me as 'Father-in-law'..."

Xiao Mei'er was completely confused and asked in bewilderment, "Husband, isn't it perfectly normal for him to call her that? I just checked and Mingyue is still a virgin. What are you so worried about?"

"Madam, do you think Zhao Shanhe has truly succeeded in building his foundation?"

Xiao Meir immediately shook her head and said firmly, "With his five-element spiritual roots, it's not easy for him to build a foundation in just eight years. In my opinion, it's absolutely impossible!"

Tantai Fengdu also agreed with this, muttering to himself, "Yeah, I also think this is unrealistic. But why did that brat call me father-in-law for no reason? It's really hard to understand..."

At this moment, an idea suddenly flashed through Xiao Mei'er's mind. She widened her eyes and said in surprise, "Oh, my husband, do you think Zhao Shanhe is the reincarnation of some powerful being?"

Tan Tai Feng Du quickly waved his hand and reminded her, "Madam, don't forget that Zhao Shanhe possesses the Five Elements Spiritual Roots. Perhaps I am overthinking it."
