Chen Yue: "I Surrender to This Absolute Menace!"

Chen Yue stared at the notification for a long while, his mind completely blank.

Quintuplets!?

My God!?

As if struck by lightning, he suddenly collapsed onto the ground, his face twitching. "Th-this Liu Erlong... she really... really is... unbelievable!"

"Could this be the legendary saying, 'dragons are lecherous by nature'?"

It took him several minutes of gulping down the cold northwest wind before his mind cleared slightly. He simply did not get back up, instead lying on the grass and staring ahead.

This wife has reached the maximum number of children she can carry. No more children can be obtained before the birth. Child rewards will be issued after the children are born!

Thank goodness.

Only after seeing that notification did Chen Yue let out a long breath and wipe away his nonexistent cold sweat.

Even so, in his previous life, having quintuplets all at once... would still have been utterly mind-blowing, right?

Then, he saw the reason his Innate Soul Power had increased.

Ding! The host has married for the first time and has five children, triggering an additional reward: Innate Soul Power increased to innate Rank 2!

To be fair, this system was pretty lousy. Marriage only guaranteed basic rewards, while extra rewards... depended entirely on whether the third hand was lucky or not. Like whether a ten-pull in Genshin Impact gave you a five-star, or whether a ten-pull in Honor of Kings gave you a Glory Crystal.

Of course!

Perhaps when he married Gu Qinghan, Chen Yue's luck had exploded and used itself all up. In any case, marrying Liu Erlong had given him no marriage reward—only child rewards and an extra reward for the quintuplet achievement.

"So that means, after Liu Erlong, I still...?"

Thinking of how his Soul Power had inexplicably risen to Rank 49, Chen Yue hurriedly looked again.

Ding! Congratulations to the host for marrying Heavenly Water Academy student and campus belle Xue Wu, and leaving behind one child. Guaranteed reward issued: Lifespan +10!

Chen Yue: "..."

Staring at the notification, he fell into thought again. Gu Qingbo's image flashed through his mind—the girl he had only glimpsed briefly before, wearing nothing but a simple down jacket, yet unable to conceal her bare-faced beauty, like a girl dancing amid the snow.

As for why that fleeting glimpse had left such a deep impression... nonsense, of course it was because of her height. Could it possibly have been those long legs?

Ding! Congratulations to the host for having a second child (twins). Guaranteed reward issued: Lifespan +10!

This wife has reached the maximum number of children she can carry. No more children can be obtained before the birth. Child rewards will be issued after the children are born!

Ding! The host has completed three marriage tasks and received an additional reward: Soul Power increased to Rank 49, Soul Ring ×1 (issued with its age automatically increased based on previous Soul Rings)!

Only then did Chen Yue finally breathe a sigh of relief, clutching his chest. "Fuck, if I get another set of quadruplets or quintuplets, I'm afraid this little heart of mine really won't be able to take it!"

But then, he suddenly noticed a blind spot!

"Wait!"

"A Heavenly Water Academy student, and also the campus belle?"

"So... Xue Wu doesn't have a family behind her?"

"She's a commoner student?"

Chen Yue's heart skipped a beat, and he had a bad feeling. "If she isn't a noble... then if she starts showing, wouldn't that..."

Just as Chen Yue was about to get up and head to Heavenly Water Academy to take a look, several people dressed in Gu Family uniforms entered his field of vision. At a glance, they spotted Chen Yue lying on the grass in a thoroughly disheveled state.

"Quick, tell the elders—we found the young master!"

"What are you standing around for? Hurry and carry the young master back!"

Chen Yue: "..."
