Tianchi Fort.

In the dark of the night.

Xia Ruoxue slowly flew to the height of the study of the stone building of Tianchi Fort, and she could clearly see everything in the study through the stone window.

At this time, the castle master's study was filled with a strong spiritual power, and the spiritual power in the air seemed to condense into substance, surrounding Li Shuidao's body.

A flash of surprise flashed in Xia Ruoxue's eyes, she had never seen her husband cultivate like this.

At this time, the spiritual power surrounding Li Shuidao was divided into two, half of the spiritual power turned into biting ice, and the other half of the spiritual power turned into scorching flames.

One yin and one yang, one cold and one hot.

Two distinct energies intertwined and entangled in his body, forming a twisting Taiji diagram.

Odd......

The husband's exercises are obviously cultivating pure Taiyin mana.

The moon is like mercury pouring into the ground, and it is pervasive.

But at this time, yin and yang are balanced, and life is endless.

No matter how uncommon Xia Ruoxue is, she knows that it is impossible for a person's exercises to change suddenly.

Looking at the red snake in her husband's left hand and the toad in her right hand, Xia Ruoxue thought a little......

Although he didn't know the reason, it was certain that his husband was indeed attacking the Rong Ling Realm, and it happened so suddenly that even he was not fully prepared at all.

In this way, the burden is on himself.

And also......

Zhu Hongling and her husband's child is also about to be born, and her husband is in retreat at this time, so I'm afraid I won't even be able to see the child's face.

Xia Ruoxue fell lightly to the ground and returned to her cultivation room.

She changed her clothes, tidied up a little, and then left the cultivation room, locking the door behind her.

Xia Ruoxue's cultivation room is a forbidden place in Tianchi Fort, and trespassing is never allowed.

At this time, Xia Ruoxue had already changed into a long black dress, which was the clothes she usually wears, climbed up the corridor, and soon came to the corridor outside the study.

A young guard stood guard in the cloister.

The guards are in the cloister and not at the door of the study, to prevent the guards from eavesdropping on the castle master's secrets.

"Go and rest, and come back tomorrow morning, and I'll stay here at night." Xia Ruoxue said.

"Yes." The guards clenched their fists and left.

...... in the middle of the night

Xia Ruoxue sat quietly at the corner of the corridor, her figure elegant and dignified, like a black lotus.

It's just meditation......

Although the cultivation of "White Bone Blood Demon Skill" is fast, it must be eaten with blood, if there is no blood food, it is meaningless to meditate and practice the carrying exercises.

At this time, Xia Ruoxue was like a loyal hound, guarding the door of her master......

……

Following.

Early morning.

Zhu Hongling, who was pregnant for ten months, actually had a seizure......

The entire Tianchi Fort was busy.

Xia Ruoxue came to command, but found that she was not needed to command at all, Li Shuidao had already arranged everything in advance.

The stable woman who had been prepared for a long time was busy coming in and out, everything was prepared for a long time, and everything was in order......

The only thing that made Xia Ruoxue feel irritated was that the screams and wheezing of the mother Zhu Hongling filled the entire courtyard, and her screams continued and even became more and more high-pitched

Standing in the courtyard, Xia Ruoxue, who was listening to Zhu Hongling's "coquettishness", became more and more cold.

Xia Ruoxue slowly walked into the delivery room, her eyes scanned the room, and her cold eyes made Wen Po and the maid dare not slack off in the slightest. She said to them, "Go out, and I'll have a word with her." ”

Wen Po hurriedly explained: "This ...... Having a baby. ”

"Get out!" Xia Ruoxue said coldly.

Wen Po and the maid were so frightened by Xia Ruoxue's fierce light that they crawled and hurriedly left the delivery room, leaving Xia Ruoxue and Zhu Hongling behind.

Zhu Hongling was sweating profusely, at this time the child was about to be born, she looked at Xia Ruoxue's face with a fierce light, and did not dare to let out another shout. Her face was pale, beads of sweat glistened on her forehead, and she gritted her teeth tightly and said nothing.

After a strange moment of silence, Xia Ruoxue said coldly: "Husband is in retreat at this time to impact the Rong Ling Realm, no matter how loud you scream, he will not come to take care of you, if you quarrel with your husband's cultivation, don't blame me for being ruthless!" ”

Zhu Hongling gasped, gritted his teeth and said, "I gave birth to his child." ”

"Humph! If it weren't for your husband's child, you would be a dead man by now. Xia Ruoxue warned coldly.

"If you want to give birth hard, give me a hard life, if you dare to make a loud noise, show hypocrisy, and kill you!" Xia Ruoxue's words were cold.

Zhu Hongling really didn't dare to squeak anymore, so she could only work silently.

When she stopped screaming, the child, who was originally a little difficult to deliver, unexpectedly came out smoothly.

Xia Ruoxue saw that the child was about to be born, she turned around and left the delivery room, and said to the two stable women guarding the door: "Go in, wait for her to give birth to the child." ”

Wen Po was shocked by Xia Ruoxue's majesty, did not dare to disobey, hurriedly entered the delivery room, began to take care of Zhu Hongling, and helped her give birth to the child smoothly.

Moments later......

"Wow......"

A baby's cry pierced the silence of the room, and everyone was stunned for a moment. Then, it was Wen Po's happy voice: "It's born, it's a boy!" ”

Hearing this good news, the corners of Xia Ruoxue's mouth hooked up a smile, she looked up at the top of the nearby stone building, the joy on her face was overflowing, and there was even a faint excitement.

"Husband, you are a father, and I am also a mother." Xia Ruoxue muttered to herself, and there was even a tear in her eyes.

Although Li Shuidao suddenly announced a retreat, everything in Tianchi Fort was arranged in an orderly manner.

A few days passed......

Li Hailong led the family's caravan and slowly drove into Tianchi Fort.

The scene in front of him shocked him, and every time he came to Tianchi Fort, it made him feel incredible.

The rockeries on both sides of the gate have been completed, and two extremely majestic stone pillars reach into the sky.

Far away......

He saw a figure coming towards him, her long black skirt gently brushing her snow-white legs, and her long silky hair fluttering in the wind.

Li Hailong frowned, this time there was only one person who greeted him, Xia Ruoxue.

"Where's Li Shuidao?" Li Hailong asked.

"Husband, you are in retreat and cultivating the Dao Method, such as today, the Chibao is in charge of me." Xia Ruoxue said bluntly.

Behind Xia Ruoxue, a row of black-clothed deacons were silent, obviously having approved of the matter.

"What kind of Dao method is cultivated, and you actually want to close the retreat?" Li Hailong looked incredulous.

Could it be the second order of impact?

Wrong! Even if it's a Yuheng Pill every day, it shouldn't be so fast.

You must know that there is a bottleneck in the Psychic Realm to break through the threshold of the Rong Ling Realm, which is a bottleneck that is extremely hindering to the monk's level, even if it is the children of those big families, it is common to polish at this threshold for ten years.

"He couldn't have used the Yin and Yang Elixir, right?" Li Hailong asked tentatively

Xia Ruoxue shook her head and said, "Husband Jun has never obtained the Yin and Yang Transformation Elixir, but has only retreated and cultivated the Dao Method. ”

Li Hailong looked suspicious.

"There's another thing." Xia Ruoxue said slowly: "Zhu Hongling was born, and he is a boy. ”

Hear this......

Li Hailong was silent for a moment and then said: "Haimo has already explained this matter and asked the child to change his surname to Zhu." ”

"No! The child must have the surname Lee. Xia Ruoxue's eyes widened, revealing a fierce light.

"You woman, don't meddle in clan affairs." Li Hailong said angrily.

"I said the child must be surnamed Li!" Xia Ruoxue didn't take Li Hailong in her eyes at all, a second-order old monk like him who was decaying in qi and blood and was desolate in cultivation, she didn't know how many she had killed.

Li Hailong's brows were deeply locked, if it was an ordinary woman, he would have already passed by with a palm.

But he was one of the few people in the Li family who knew Xia Ruoxue's true strength, so he could only say patiently: "You are neither the child's mother nor the child's elder, but when Li Shuidao is temporarily in charge of Tianchi Fort, why do you even have to care about the child's name?" ”

"Please ask the Great Elder to count the minerals himself, I won't accompany you." After Xia Ruoxue finished speaking, she turned around and left, leaving only a group of deacons to laugh.

……

A few days later......

The main frame of the main hall of Tianchi Fort was completed.

The newly completed "main hall" was built on top of a flattened boulder, which was petrified as a high platform to carry the palace.

This monolith is like a solemn throne that carries the palace. Each step of the staircase seemed to imply the authority of the castle lord.

Stepping on these steps is like stepping into the core of power in Tianchi Fort.

The main hall adopts a cement frame structure, the construction is very simple, a total of three floors, the main hall is magnificent.

The roof is made of traditional glazed tiles instead of the stone slabs that can be found everywhere in Tianchi Fort.

The glazed tiles are colorful and shimmering, adding a sense of magnificence and solemnity to the main hall.

The roof truss structure is made of wood, with wooden beams and concrete stringers intertwined to form a strong and aesthetically pleasing frame.

"The houses are still lacking in decoration and painting, and all the cement pillars are so ugly that they have to be rebuilt with wooden planks, which requires a lot of manpower and material resources."

"Mrs. Castle Lord, now the decoration part can only be covered with a black cloth, it is okay to look at it from a distance, but it is really unsightly to see it up close, if you want to decorate this hall with golden brilliance, it will take a lot of manpower." A black-clad deacon reports.

"That's right, the two cement and stone mountains at the gate don't live anything, this matter is related to the face of my Tianchi Fort, I'm afraid I have to find a way to decorate one or two."

"You just said how many spirit stones you wanted?" Xia Ruoxue asked coldly.

"There aren't many spirit stones, the key is to have a large number of mortal craftsmen."

"It's a remote place, and mortals can't come here at all." Xia Ruoxue shook her head and said.

"If you drive the monks, you have to pay with jade money, and it will take at least two thousand spirit stones to complete such a building."

"What? Just such a thing costs 2,000 spirit stones, so how many spirit stones does it cost to build Tianchi Fang? Xia Ruoxue asked.

The deacon replied with a solemn face: "According to the castle master's plan, at least 100,000 spirit stones are needed to build Tianchi Fang, and this is because we use a large amount of cement, if we don't have this thing, I'm afraid it will cost at least 500,000 spirit stones." ”

"It's okay to levy 100,000 people, but if you count the wages, it's not small."

"One hundred thousand spirit stones are just a degree, if you count three points of interest, I'm afraid of ......"

"The family's quota is too small, I should ask them for it."

"That's right, if the family doesn't increase the quota next time, we won't give him the spirit ore at all."

"I'm afraid it won't work if you don't give it, this is given to the Li family by the sect."

Xia Ruoxue watched coldly, everyone present was thinking about their own interests, they didn't care whether they were the Li family or the Zhu family, they were all thinking about themselves now, and their savings had been lent to Tianchi Fort, so they were naturally thinking about Tianchi Fort.

"Madam, do you think it is time to stop work or continue to allocate spirit stones to decorate the main hall?" After some discussion, the deacon of the tent asked.

Xia Ruoxue glanced at the towering stone building, it has been more than half a month, and the husband has not yet come out of the customs, and this cultivation is too slow.

If it weren't for Xia Ruoxue taking a look through the stone window every night, she would have suspected that something was wrong.

"Of course." Xia Ruoxue hesitated slightly, and then made a decision.

A smile appeared on everyone's faces, as long as Xia Ruoxue was willing to open her mouth and remove the spirit stones in the warehouse, the spirit stones in the warehouse would be empty.

Tianchi Fort spirit stones are not enough, naturally it is the old way to "borrow", as long as you borrow spirit stones, everyone can make a fortune.

As for what to do at the end of this game of drumming and passing flowers?

No one even thinks about it......

Everybody just wants now.

Xia Ruoxue walked into the empty main hall, looked at the smooth cement pillars and undecorated walls around her, and said, "You all go out." ”

Many black-clad deacons bowed and retreated......

In the empty hall, only Xia Ruoxue was left.

"What else are you hiding? Show up. Xia Ruoxue said coldly towards an empty space.

The light and shadow twisted......

Ju Mujin, dressed in black and masked, appeared in shape.

At this time, Ju Mujin already had the cultivation of the middle stage of the Rong Spirit Realm.

It has been more than four months since the last Xue Jiabao farewell, and Ju Mujin has obtained the cultivation elixir treasured by the Xue family, breaking through the middle stage of the Rong Spirit Realm in one fell swoop, and his cultivation aura is the same as Xia Ruoxue.

"Xia Daoyou, long time no see." Ju Mujin said hello.

Xia Ruoxue smiled faintly, and her eyes were also happy.
