Chapter 165 Congratulations on becoming parents!
"Peach, Peach Blossom Sister, aren't you in danger?"
Why did you hug and kiss me as soon as I arrived?
Shen Ming swallowed as he spoke.
He looked at Zhao Taohua expectantly, a slight smile playing on his lips.
She was saying how bad I was last night, and we only separated for a short while this morning, and she's already thinking about me like this?
So eager, even if it means being tricked by a foreign fiery devil into coming over for a kiss?
Thinking about it, Shen Ming looked at the several spirits standing behind her and was quite satisfied that Zhao Taohua had kissed him in front of them.
When Zhao Taohua met Shen Ming's shocked gaze as the mountain ghost's money was completely melted, she felt somewhat guilty.
She thought Shen Ming had discovered her secret and knew that she was using him to replenish her spiritual energy.
Unexpectedly, he's completely obsessed with love!
It seems like there's no suspicion whatsoever in that direction?
A smile flashed in Zhao Taohua's eyes as she nodded, "Yes~ Brother Shen Ming, I missed you so much. Seeing you makes me feel much more at ease."
Destroying the mountain spirit that remained in Zhao Family Village would eliminate the fertile ground that nourished the spirits of Zhao Family Village, and would also prevent other spirits from being attracted to the village.
Meanwhile, in a luxurious yet dimly lit cultivation room, a man dressed in a black robe with dragon patterns coughed up a mouthful of blood.
"Clang clang clang!"
Upon hearing the bell, the man in his fifties who was sitting cross-legged outside the door quickly got up and pushed the door open to go inside.
The moment the sunlight shone in, it shone on the man in the black dragon-patterned robe. He was extremely thin, with snow-white hair, looking like a dying old man.
If it weren't for the man standing guard outside the door, he would have definitely suspected that his master had been switched!
But where did his master, who always looked as young as he was only in his thirties, go?
"Master, what's wrong? Are you alright?"
"My disciple, come here. I have something to say to you."
The moment the man approached, he felt his life force and cultivation rapidly draining away.
He looked down at the withered hand that was grasping at his heart, and said in disbelief:
"Master, you..."
The old man's gaunt face is visibly regaining its youthful appearance.
He said to the men, "Is this all the use you've been for?"
When the man was devoid of life and cultivation, he threw the corpse to the ground.
The man's eyes remained wide open until his death.
This made the corpse, which resembled a dried-up mummy, even more terrifying!
The man shrugged and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with a handkerchief.
He said in a sinister tone, "My old mountain spirit money has actually been destroyed?"
This turn of events was something he hadn't anticipated.
A green flame instantly appeared in his palm, burning the dried corpse on the ground to ashes without leaving a trace.
"Master, you've emerged from seclusion?"
Tang Xianghui was pleasantly surprised to see the door to Shen Tianyi's secluded room wide open as soon as he arrived.
However, he noticed that his master's expression seemed rather unpleasant.
Master has only been in seclusion for a year, how come he has aged so much?
"I don't know where my eighth junior brother has gone; he's always slacking off."
Your seclusion is of paramount importance. If anyone were to intrude and disturb your cultivation, even if you chopped off their head ten times, they still wouldn't be able to bear the responsibility.
Tang Xianghui cursed angrily.
Shen Tianyi looked at his fourth disciple and smiled:
"He's still young, it's normal for him to be playful, we don't need to worry about him."
Xianghui, I have an important task for you. Go to Zhao Family Village…
Inside Zhao Family Village.
Shen Ming felt that Zhao Taohua had been particularly clingy to him these past few days, and was more enthusiastic than usual.
After half a month of hard work, Zhao Taohua finally managed to set up a shielding array over the entire Zhao Family Village, as well as the surrounding areas.
In this way, all evil spirits can no longer enter Zhao Family Village.
With the mountain spirit no longer spending money to nourish itself within Zhao Family Village, and with no external forces entering, Zhao Family Village will never again be plagued by evil spirits.
She could finally feel a little relieved.
The city wall of Zhao Family Village has been under construction for two months. Looking at the ever-rising wall, Zhao Taohua seemed to be deep in thought.
She originally planned that once the city wall was completed, she would rely on the spirits she raised to strengthen it.
But are those 159 households in Zhao Family Village just going to waste their time?
In the beautiful country of the 21st century, where weapons are not controlled, an eighty-year-old woman could pull out a pistol and kill a strong twenty-year-old man.
What if Zhao Family Village also had such weapons?
Even the great-grandfather of Yuejiang can make a contribution to protecting Zhao Family Village!
Who would have thought that Mr. Yuejiang, whose body was mostly buried, would have such destructive power?
Thinking of this, Zhao Taohua couldn't help but get excited.
How can city walls and monsters alone be enough?
Zhao Family Village needs everyone to be a soldier!
But how should it be cast?
"Little Peach Blossom, lunch is ready."
Just as Zhao Taohua was pondering, Shen Ming bent down and pulled her up.
For some reason, Zhao Taohua frowned instinctively when she smelled his scent; he smelled unpleasant to her.
At noon, Shen Ming made Zhao Taohua her favorite crucian carp and tofu soup.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Taohua gagged after only taking a sip.
"Peach Blossom Sister?"
He gently patted Zhao Taohua's back.
Zhao Taohua vomited up the fish soup she had just drunk, and even vomited up her breakfast.
"Here's some mouthwash."
Shen Ming immediately brought Zhao Taohua a bowl of water.
After rinsing her mouth, Zhao Taohua felt a little better. She waved her hand at the crucian carp and tofu on the table:
"Brother Shenming, quickly take it away!"
Shen Ming's cooking skills were personally taught by Qian Shi, and Shen Ming was quite certain that the fish he cooked was not fishy.
Moreover, Peach Blossom Sister used to love eating crucian carp the most!
Shen Ming was puzzled by Zhao Taohua's unusual behavior, but in the next instant, a sudden inspiration flashed in his mind.
"Peach Blossom Sister, are you pregnant?"
Upon hearing this, Shen Ming couldn't suppress his joy.
Zhao Taohua suddenly remembered that she had calculated that she would get pregnant at this time.
Although she had already guessed that the baby was coming, she still went to ask her great-grandfather Xiangping to take her pulse and check.
At that moment, Zhao Xiangping's family was having dinner. When they saw Zhao Taohua and her husband arrive, they warmly invited them to join them.
Shen Ming immediately expressed his gratitude: "Grandma Xue, thank you. I have already prepared dinner at home. My little sister Peach Blossom is not feeling well, so I came here to ask Grandpa Xiangping to take a look at her pulse."
"Oh my god, is Peach Blossom feeling unwell?"
Old man, quickly take a look at Peach Blossom!
Grandma Xue urged.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Xiangping's son, Zhao Yingxiong, and the others lost their appetite and put down their chopsticks to watch Zhao Xiangping take Zhao Taohua's pulse.
Nowadays, Zhao Taohua holds a position in everyone's hearts similar to that of the village chief and clan leader.
They all believed in Zhao Taohua; if it weren't for her, they would never be living such a good life now.
Zhao Taohua is like their backbone; with her around, everyone feels at ease.
"Old man, what's wrong with Peach Blossom?" Grandma Xue asked anxiously.
The other younger members of Zhao Xiangping's family also looked at Zhao Taohua with concern.
Zhao Taohua felt a warmth in her heart when she saw that they were worried about her.
However, both she and Shen Ming knew that she wasn't sick at all; she was pregnant.
After confirming the diagnosis with two pulse examinations, Zhao Xiangping congratulated Zhao Taohua and her husband, saying:
"Peach Blossom, Shen Ming, congratulations on becoming parents!"
