Reborn with a Space: Building a Fortune Amidst Famine

Chapter 1837: Surprise

The two sisters fell silent, both contemplating advancing with their own abilities.

Down below, they still had their sect, their family to support them. Up here, there was no one; they had to do everything themselves. It was truly difficult.

“Sister, I want to cultivate on my own,” Wei Lingyun said quietly but firmly.

“That’s fine. Decide for yourself; it’s not for me to say anything.” It’s up to each individual to choose their path in the future and decide for themselves.

A steward came over to take away Wei Lingxi, who noticed the charming smile on her cousin’s face.

Wei Lingxi had never met the Pavilion Master before; this was her first time. Looking at the handsome man in front of her, Wei Lingxi felt reassured in her decision.

Chu Hanqing looked at the female cultivator before him; she too had ascended, and was from the same sect as Tan Qihong.

She seemed alright, clean-cut.

“Greetings, Pavilion Master.”

“Hmm. Are you here of your own will?”

Wei Lingxi felt a bit bitter inside, as what woman doesn’t hope for a loving family of her own? To have a man who would care for her and only her.

“Yes.”

“I actually need an heir.”

Wei Lingxi nodded, thinking that it should be like this. The Pavilion Master had over ten women, likely because of the need for children.

“Then, let’s begin.”

Wei Lingxi looked at the figure in front of her and followed him into the inner chamber.

To Chu Hanqing, women were never in short supply, nor did he have any tender feelings. What he needed now was an heir; otherwise, his position was insecure.

Yet none of the many women had been able to bear one.

Men hardly ever want to admit it might be their own issue. Even if there’s just a glimmer of hope, he wants to try.

Wei Lingxi felt uncomfortable, but could not resist and could only endure.

Watching her frown, Chu Hanqing’s malice flared, holding Wei Lingxi for an entire hour, which was a miserable ordeal for a woman devoid of love and just going through this.

The man derived pleasure, disregarding the woman, and even felt a slight advancement during cultivation.

This was a moment of great surprise for Chu Hanqing.

Opening his eyes and not finding the woman, he immediately summoned her through a transmission.

Wei Lingxi struggled to get up, filled with regret. One truly cannot judge a book by its cover; she felt like she was being torn apart.

Quickly tidying herself up, she vanished from there, disregarding everything else.

Yet she couldn’t get past the array. Casually, she entered a room, placed down an array plate, and began cultivating.

Though they didn’t engage in dual cultivation, while cultivating, Wei Lingxi surprisingly felt a particular fluidity that made her obsessed.

She fell into a deep state of cultivation.

She was already in the Profound Immortal Realm; though she hadn’t advanced to the Golden Immortal Realm, she was close enough.

This kind of advancing cultivation was truly intoxicating. She was completely absorbed in cultivating.

Chu Hanqing didn’t receive a response. His divine sense swept over and saw that the young female cultivator had actually advanced.

This was intriguing; he had a dual cultivation technique and slightly regretted not using it. Perhaps doing so would have increased his cultivation more.

There’s a long future ahead. He decided not to disturb her, as her advancement was also beneficial to him. However, zero control was not an option. He calmed his mind and continued cultivating.

Wei Lingxi woke up three days later, feeling her whole body filled with power. Having advanced, she wanted to try her hand at alchemy.

Unexpectedly, the success rate for pill formation had also improved, which was indeed an unforeseen effect.

When she exited her seclusion, she heard the Pavilion Master’s message.

Her heart skipped a beat, as she really didn’t want to see him, but she had no choice.

Chu Hanqing looked at the woman with her head bowed. He directly placed a ban on her divine sense.

“Don’t be nervous. As long as you do not harm me, nothing will happen, nor will it affect you.”

Of course, Wei Lingxi was unwilling but had no other choice.

She accepted the Storage Ring floating in front of her. “This is for you. Every year you’ll receive one; if you need anything, just find the steward.”

Wei Lingxi bowed and said nothing.

Suddenly, Chu Hanqing found himself liking this feeling.

With just one motion, the woman was in his arms.

There was no conversation between the two. Chu Hanqing felt it was unnecessary. Wei Lingxi didn’t want to say anything, thinking to herself to endure until it was over.

This time, Chu Hanqing used a dual cultivation method, though not the kind beneficial to both parties, nor a harvesting method, since their cultivation levels differed significantly, but it was still rewarding. Moreover, this method could make the woman passionate.

Enjoying it, Chu Hanqing felt this arrangement was quite good.

Two months later, Wei Lingxi had already reached the cultivation level of a Golden Immortal.

She appeared in their small courtyard.

Wei Lingyun looked at her cousin’s state, feeling envious.

Truthfully, she wished her cousin would be with someone else, so there’d be hope for her to be with Tan Qihong.

After meeting him this time, she thought that such a man was the one she truly liked.

With her cousin around, it’d definitely affect her, draw Tan Qihong’s attention away.

Originally, she was at ease with her cousin becoming someone’s concubine, not expecting her to fare so well.

“Cousin, is the Pavilion Master good to you?”

“Not bad.” Wei Lingxi couldn’t possibly say that the man was practically always with her, as such words were difficult to speak.

This time, he let her out because he had matters to attend to for a year.

“Lingyun, I’m moving out of here, so be careful yourself.”

“I know, Cousin, don’t worry. I truly envy you’ve reached the Golden Immortal Realm; I don’t know how long it’ll be before I can advance.”

Wei Lingxi couldn’t possibly say it was due to dual cultivation that she advanced; such words couldn’t be uttered. She could only smile awkwardly.

In Wei Lingyun’s eyes, this was different, feeling her cousin didn’t want to help her. So she didn’t ask further.

The two sisters parted ways. Wei Lingxi, of course, went near the Pavilion Master’s residence. The amenities there were quite good.

She trained peacefully inside, concocting elixirs and not going out. Being the Pavilion Master’s woman had its perks: no need to perform tasks, no restrictions. Could this be considered a benefit? Yet it felt even more like a limitation in her heart.

Three months later, Chu Hanqing returned and, after listening to the servants’ reports, found Wei Lingxi to be quite competent.

With the Array Key in hand, he directly entered Wei Lingxi’s courtyard. His divine sense swept over her body, uncertain and then swept again, his face revealing an expression of delight. Unexpectedly, this woman was truly a treasure, not only providing him pleasure and advancement but also able to bear him a child.

He appeared next to her in an instant, watching her alchemy.

At this critical moment, after receiving the pill, Wei Lingxi hurriedly saluted Chu Hanqing.

“Do you know you’re pregnant?”
