Chapter 46: One More Junior Sister
In the room, the mysterious person stretched out his hand and tapped rapidly on the nearby table, in a terrible mood.
For that woman, he had paid a huge price and planned for a long time, but unexpectedly, there was a slip-up at the last moment.
"Shall I go to the Lin Family to bring her out?" suggested a figure in the darkness.
The mysterious person sneered, "Ha, that is a long-life families, do you really think it’s so easy?"
"That plan cannot fail; I have an acquaintance in the Lin Family, I can have him ask around," the other continued.
"If the Lin Family finds out she is from the Bai family, it will be too late for everything," the mysterious person said gravely.
"Rest assured, I will do it without anyone knowing," the other responded.
The mysterious person stopped moving and drew a circle on the table, "The master does not have so much patience to wait for us, hurry up!"
There was no response from the darkness; that person had already left.
And the mysterious person stood up, walked out of the small courtyard, leaped up, and disappeared into the night.
…
Time passed in a flash; in the blink of an eye, Bai Zhi Yan had been in Zhou Garden for over a month.
Perhaps because of that embrace from that night, she clearly developed other feelings for Zhou Luo. An inexplicable affection welled up in her heart.
Because of this, during this time, she did not dare to look into his eyes, and even deliberately or unintentionally avoided him.
Apart from Zhou Luo, her relationships with others progressed rapidly, especially with the children.
These little ones chased after Bai Zhi Yan every day, calling her "sister" this and "sister" that, treating her like the closest person.
On the other hand, Lin Qing Han, who had been pregnant for a long time, finally welcomed the day of childbirth.
Zhou Luo and a group of Concubines were silently waiting outside.
Even Bai Zhi Yan had brought a group of little ones along.
These little ones stood there very obediently, their small faces expectantly waiting for the birth of a younger brother or sister.
A baby’s cry sounded— Wah wah—
The clear sound of crying came from the room.
Holding the Snow Mountain Spirit Cat, Zhou Luo also heard the notification sound from the system.
[Congratulations to the host on the birth of the seventh offspring, gained a thirty-year lifespan bonus!]
[As this offspring possesses an Eighth Grade spiritual root, the host gained two talent points!]
[Current aptitude: Ninth Grade spiritual root (5/100)]
Zhou Luo was shaken mentally.
He had not expected that an Eighth Grade spiritual root descendant had been born.
Moreover, he had gained two talent points, one more than for a Ninth Grade spiritual root.
It was truly astonishing.
Thinking about it, Lin Qing Han had a Seventh Grade spiritual root, and he himself had a Ninth Grade spiritual root; giving birth to an Eighth Grade one, the probability was not high, but it was still possible.
It seemed he had good luck.
Thinking this, he couldn’t help but glance at Bai Zhi Yan beside him.
Would children with Seventh Grade spiritual roots be born if he combined with someone possessing Sixth Grade spiritual roots?
In that case, his talent points might become three.
If he got lucky and produced a child with Sixth Grade spiritual roots, he might gain even more talent points.
After all, that was a mid-grade spiritual root.
At this rate, breaking through the hundred-point mark would surely happen soon, wouldn’t it?
Zhou Luo grew increasingly convinced that marrying a wife with high-grade spiritual roots would significantly boost his advancement.
The door opened, and the midwife emerged beaming with joy, holding the baby: "Congratulations, it’s a daughter."
Zhou Luo put down the Snow Mountain Spirit Cat and cautiously took the little bundle into his arms.
The other little ones crowded around, eager to see their new sister.
"Since she’s a daughter, we’ll call her Shi Wen from now on," Zhou Luo declared, having long decided on the name.
"Papa, Papa, let us see sister,"
Little Chang An bounced around near his feet.
Zhou Luo chuckled and squatted down. The other little ones gathered around, peering with curiosity at the new arrival.
The other concubines also smiled cheerfully, showering the baby with praise.
Bai Zhi Yan watched this heartwarming scene, a wave of emotion rising within her.
She was always a gentle-hearted young woman, which explained her great fondness for playing with the children.
Seeing such harmony in this large family, she felt a surge of envy and was reminded of her parents and family, now far across the world.
In that instant, her eyes reddened.
Just then, a pale, soft hand grasped hers.
Bai Zhi Yan looked sideways and saw that it was Lin Fei Ying.
"You will have children of your own too," Lin Fei Ying offered with a gentle smile.
She thought Bai Zhi Yan was saddened by her own childlessness.
Bai Zhi Yan knew it was a misunderstanding, yet hearing these words, her gaze instinctively flickered towards Zhou Luo before she quickly averted it, her cheeks flushing.
Holding the baby, Zhou Luo entered the room.
"You’ve worked hard," he said softly, sitting on the edge of the bed and gently stroking Lin Qing Han’s slightly pale cheek.
Lin Qing Han smiled and shook her head.
…
The addition of the new member once again filled the entire Zhou Garden with liveliness.
Zhou Luo also temporarily set aside his cultivation and alchemy practice, focusing wholeheartedly on his family.
On this day, as was his custom, he set off to study alchemy at the residence of his master, Lin Zhi Shou.
After so long, he finally decided to display his middle first-level alchemy skills to enhance the family’s regard for him.
Arriving at Shouchun Garden, he smoothly passed through the front yard and came straight to the front of the main building.
Unfortunately, Lin Zhi Shou wasn’t there; he was probably focusing on alchemy.
So he continued inward and reached the backyard.
As soon as he entered the backyard, he saw a graceful figure sitting upright in the pavilion.
That figure wore splendid traditional garments, with her hair pinned up softly and her light makeup natural, yet she couldn’t hide her noble aura.
Zhou Luo recognized her.
She was still as haughty as when she had severely injured him over a minor disagreement back then.
When he looked at her, she noticed him too, and a trace of displeasure appeared on her cool, exquisite face.
Since he had been spotted, Zhou Luo naturally couldn’t ignore her.
After all, she was the Third Young Lady of the Lin Family, Lin Xin.
So Zhou Luo walked over, with a smile on his face, and bowed: "Third Young Lady."
"So you are Zhou Luo," Lin Xin looked at him and asked coldly.
Evidently, she had forgotten the incident two years ago and hadn’t recognized that this guy before her was the one who had almost bumped into her.
"Yes," Zhou Luo replied respectfully.
Although his status had changed dramatically compared to two years ago, it still wasn’t impressive enough before her.
Plus, he belonged to the Great Elder’s faction, so he was even more cautious to avoid angering her.
For a long while, the other party didn’t speak again.
Zhou Luo didn’t dare to move and could only stand there silently, bowed.
"Zhou Luo has come."
Just then, Lin Zhi Shou’s voice came from behind.
Zhou Luo heaved a sigh of relief.
He turned around, cupped his hands, and bowed: "Master."
Lin Xin also stood up and curtsied.
"Hmm, come and sit," Lin Zhi Shou entered the pavilion and sat down.
Zhou Luo naturally followed and sat beside him.
"Disciple, from now on, the Third Young Lady is my student."
As soon as he sat down, Lin Zhi Shou said plainly.
Hearing this, Zhou Luo’s mind buzzed as if struck by lightning; he raised his head in disbelief and looked at the indifferent Lin Xin before him.
Had she joined the master’s tutelage?
So wasn’t he gaining a Junior Sister from now on?
