Divine Assistance from My Brothers-in-Law

This time, the Heavenly Dao bestowed Merit, not only replenishing the Merit that Wu Chu had previously spent on cultivating the Fire Parasol Tree, but also leaving a considerable surplus.

The main issue was the concept of 'transaction'. It wasn't Yibao who reminded him of it; Wu Chu just casually mentioned it while talking.

Therefore, the Merit gained from the concept of transaction does not need to be shared with Yibao.

Looking at the golden Consciousness Sea of Merit in his mind's eye, Wu Chu thought, "Why don't I create a halo of Merit to play with later? Or maybe try creating a Merit Auspicious Cloud?"

Although Wu Chu did not have a method to condense Merit Auspicious Cloud, he believed that his master, Ancestor Hongjun, certainly had one; he only needed to communicate with his puppet Puppet.

The Ancestral Witch stayed in the Houtu Tribe until the winter hunt ended, and then returned home.

Wu Chu explained the elementary school math curriculum to these Ancestral Witch and gave them a copy of a math textbook he had made, telling them to go back and figure out what they didn't understand.

Faced with the praise from these Ancestral Witch for Wu Chu, Houtu Houtu's face was filled with pride, even a little smugness, as if to say: This is the male witch I found!

On the night before the Ancestral Witch departed, they gathered together for a grand feast.

After several rounds of drinks and dishes, Dijiang said to Houtu in Houtu, "Houtu and Brother A Chu have come together, why not have an offspring soon! With Brother A Chu's intelligence, your offspring will surely be exceptionally clever, and will be able to lead Houtu's tribe to prosperity, while you will have more time to cultivate..."

Faced with this situation, Wu Chu felt a strange sense of familiarity.

As Wu Chu pondered, a sudden thought flashed through his mind. He realized: Isn't this just 'urging marriage and children'? No wonder Brother Dijiang looked so kind; he was playing the role of an elder urging marriage and children! It must have been so difficult for him!

Just imagine, having a muscular man do this kind of thing—it just seems so incongruous!

After Dijiang said this, the other Ancestral Witch nodded in agreement.

In truth, the shamans of the Witch Tribe can all be considered descendants of these Ancestral Witch, because these shamans are beings created by them through their own bloodline.

Furthermore, offspring can be produced between shamans.

As for whether Wu Chu and Houtu could have offspring, they had considered this question. However, after Xuanming privately inquired with Houtu and learned that the relationship between Wu Chu and Houtu was actually quite platonic, they put the question aside.

Whether it can produce offspring or not, why not just try and find out?

Houtu was clearly surprised that her eldest brother, Dijiang, would talk about such a thing in front of her brothers and sisters, and she immediately became a little shy.

Wu Chu coughed lightly, raised his glass and smiled, "Thank you for your concern, elder brother. My sister Houtu and I will work hard so that when we meet again, you can all see our little nephew."

What could Wu Chu say in the face of his brothers-in-law who frequently gave him unexpected help?

I have nothing to repay you with but this cup of wine!

They drank until late at night, then the brothers-in-law took their leave.

They came silently, and they left just as quietly.

After seeing off his brothers-in-law, Wu Chu took the young lady's hand and said, "Let's continue our late-night chat!"

Of course, the topic of this late-night conversation was a continuation of the previous issue.

Wu Chu put his arm around the young lady's slender waist, leaned against the window, looked at the stars and moon in the courtyard, and whispered in her ear, "I think what Big Brother said makes a lot of sense. Why don't we give it a try?"

The young lady had recovered from her initial shyness, but she remained nestled in Wu Chu, having gradually grown accustomed to this intimate gesture.

Wu Chu felt that after his gradual progress over this period of time, coupled with everyone's recognition of them, it would be a natural progression for him and the young lady to get together.

However, the young woman shook her head and said, "Brother's statement is incorrect. He overlooked your cultivation level. With your current cultivation level, even if we have offspring, the bloodline in their future offspring will primarily be my bloodline..."

"..."

Wu Chu was speechless, or rather, he was at a loss for words.

What he wanted was to take their relationship to the next level, or rather, to marry the young woman and fulfill his long-held wish.

Unexpectedly, the young lady started from the actual situation and truly considered this issue.

This put Wu Chu in a somewhat awkward position.

What's even more awkward is that the young lady added, "So, before your cultivation reaches the Daluo Realm, I hope you can restrain your desires. This is also a test and tempering of your willpower. Do you understand my intentions?"

Sure enough, she wasn't completely unmoved by Wu Chu's desires.

Wu Chu hugged her, nodded silently, and then said, "But before that, there's something I need to do first..."

"What is it?"

The young woman tilted her head back and looked at him with some curiosity.

Then Wu Chu lowered his head and kissed her pink and sweet lips. The soft and sweet feeling made Wu Chu gradually lose himself in it and become completely intoxicated.

A gentle night breeze carried a slight chill, and the Plum Blossom in the courtyard gradually bloomed. The jade disc in the night sky seemed to shyly hide behind the clouds, casting a shadow.

When winter ended, the young lady sent Wu Chu, who was planning to find an excuse to stay and not leave, back to Purple Jade Mountain so that he could go back to his cultivation.

The meaning is clear: if you want to be with her soon, you'll have to work harder.

Wu Chu originally intended to use the excuse that "there are powerful beings fighting and the fluctuations of the Great Dao are preventing him from calming down and comprehending" to stay.

The young woman replied, "This is precisely the opportunity to test your composure. Does the fact that a powerful figure is causing fluctuations in the Great Dao during a battle mean that everyone should stop cultivating? True powerhouses can ignore the influence and interference of these fluctuations and continue to comprehend the Great Dao Laws."

At this point, the young woman had already taken on the role of a supportive wife, arranging Wu Chu's spiritual journey while encouraging him, saying, "I believe you can do it too!"

Finally, she gave him a kiss as a sign of approval.

And so, after being showered with a kiss and a few words from the young lady, Wu Chu confidently led Big Red and Old Round back to Purple Jade Mountain to cultivate.

Unfortunately, the ideal was lofty, but the reality is quite different.

No matter how Wu Chu tried, he could not enter a meditative state. Now that he had the cultivation of the Taiyi Realm, he was already exploring the original structure of the Great Dao Laws.

The fluctuations in the Great Dao made it impossible for him to easily calm his mind and comprehend it.

Left with no other choice, he had to temporarily abandon his idea of continuing his cultivation and went to the Puppet clone to ask the ancestor for guidance on how to cultivate under such circumstances.
