My Wife Helps Introduce a Dao Companion

Jiang Yun entered the room to find Jiang Shuanglan cooking for Xiao Nannan.

Xiao Nannan was obedient and sensible, with delicate features like a fairy child.

Over this period of time, the two of them had completely raised Nannan as their own child.

Neither of them planned to have children yet. Jiang Yun simply had no such intention at the moment.

Even though the panel indicated that having descendants would grant him bonuses, he still had absolutely no thoughts of it right now.

Sea of Reincarnation cultivators and Great Emperors both had children, but their talents and bloodlines differed as vastly as heaven and earth.

Children and descendants could naturally wait until he had succeeded in his endeavors—at the very least, until he possessed the combat power of a Great Emperor.

Jiang Yun intended to carry the principle of better births and better upbringing through to the end.

"Nannan, what do you want to eat today?"

Seeing Xiao Nannan sitting obediently by the table, Jiang Yun could not help stepping forward and rubbing her delicate little cheeks.

"Big Sister Shuanglan is making spirit crane meat for Nannan today, and there's also a cup of Nannan's favorite Yuanxiang fruit juice."

Xiao Nannan happily told Jiang Yun all about it.

Once Jiang Shuanglan had finished cooking and brought Xiao Nannan her food, Jiang Yun told Jiang Shuanglan about what had happened with Xia Weier earlier.

"So she's already starting to feel sorry for you?"

Jiang Shuanglan continued in a slightly sour tone:

"I've seen you constantly buying materials to refine Hundred-Grass Liquid these past few days. Are you short on cultivation resources? Even with Fire Fiend's assistance, refining Hundred-Grass Liquid isn't something that can earn resources quickly. Many people even lose everything they invest."

As she spoke, Jiang Shuanglan took out over a hundred bottles of Hundred-Grass Liquid, along with a piece of Source and two spirit herbs, and handed them to Jiang Yun.

"I originally planned to bring them to you after I finished cooking for Xiao Nannan."

Jiang Yun was touched as he looked at the things before him. He had not expected that, aside from some Hundred-Grass Liquid, Jiang Shuanglan had not used any of the resources he had given her.

Instead, she had kept saving them for him all this time.

"Lan'er, use more of these things yourself. I've only been learning alchemy lately and wanted to try refining a few things. I'm not lacking cultivation resources."

Jiang Yun pulled Jiang Shuanglan into his arms and told her about what he had gained from alchemy over the past few days.

Afraid that she would not believe him, he even took out the more than three hundred bottles of Hundred-Grass Liquid.

"Ah, I never expected Brother Yun to have such astonishing talent for alchemy. Even the elders of Medicine Valley might not be able to do this!!!"

Jiang Shuanglan was deeply astonished. She had never imagined that her husband could gain so much from refining Hundred-Grass Liquid.

In just three days, he had refined more Hundred-Grass Liquid than she had obtained in all these years.

"Of course. Just look whose excellent husband I am."

Jiang Yun and Jiang Shuanglan chatted for a while.

Xiao Nannan was very perceptive. She had long since picked up her bowl and run outside.

"By the way, you said Xia Weier felt sorry for me? What did you mean? Our relationship is completely innocent."

Jiang Yun suddenly remembered what she had said earlier.

Jiang Shuanglan gathered her thoughts and solemnly said to Jiang Yun,

"What do you think of Xia Weier?"

Jiang Yun was instantly startled.

When your wife or girlfriend asked you, "What do you think of my best friend?"

That was usually—

The prelude to an argument. A fatal question.

If he directly evaluated her best friend and said something bad, she might not believe him. If he said her best friend was good, she would ask whether he liked her.

Jiang Yun carefully asked,

"Lan'er, why are you asking that?"

In this kind of situation, he first had to figure out the enemy's objective.

Seeing Jiang Yun act like this, Jiang Shuanglan secretly found it amusing.

However, his reaction also showed that she held a very important place in his heart.

"I'm not teasing you. I just want to ask how you feel about Weier. If it's possible, I'd like Weier to become your dao companion and help share some of my burden as your elder sister."

"Mhm, mhm, a dao companion would be good. Wait, a dao companion? For me?"

Jiang Yun stared at Jiang Shuanglan in astonishment, wondering whether she was trying to bait him into breaking the law.

"That's right."

Jiang Shuanglan sat beside the table, lowered her head, and looked somewhat shy.

"Husband, don't blame me for making this decision on my own. Lately, that of yours has been getting stronger and stronger. I can't handle it when it's like this every day."

"Besides, you said she just gave you five bottles of Hundred-Grass Liquid. Adding the five bottles she gave us when we got married, I'm afraid that girl has never used Hundred-Grass Liquid for her own cultivation. She gave it all to us. That shows Weier has exceptional talent and knows how to repay kindness."

"Cultivating on her own, she has nearly caught up to me in less than a year. In the future, Weier can help you with cultivation, while I can take care of things at home."

As Jiang Shuanglan spoke, she took Jiang Yun's hand.

"Lan'er, you don't need to wrong yourself for my sake. I can restrain myself."

The more Jiang Yun spoke, the quieter his voice became. He felt that he was being somewhat hypocritical.

It was fine to restrain himself for a day or two, but over time, it would have a major impact on their future development.

Still, he did not dare agree outright. That would be too disrespectful to Jiang Shuanglan.

The husband and wife then talked some more about Xia Weier.

In the end, Jiang Yun agreed.

After spending time with Xia Weier these past few days, Jiang Yun did quite like this girl with her exquisitely pretty appearance, pure personality, and gentle exterior concealing inner strength.

It was just that he believed rabbits did not eat the grass around their burrows. He absolutely could not set his sights on his wife's best friend.

So he had only admired her from afar and truly had no intention of taking things any further.

He had not expected Jiang Shuanglan to make such a suggestion.

Jiang Yun could only resolve to treat Jiang Shuanglan well in the future and never let her suffer any grievance.

No matter what happened in the future, Lan'er would always be his first wife.

Talent was not fixed either. As long as he and Jiang Shuanglan cultivated together more often, her talent would naturally improve.

It was just that he could not tell her about this yet.

After the husband and wife finished talking, Jiang Shuanglan went to ask Xia Weier what she thought.

Jiang Yun was also somewhat unsettled, unsure of how Xia Weier would react.

He walked into the courtyard and saw Little Dingdang and Xiao Nannan playing on a swing together, while Xia Weier's door was tightly shut.

Without dwelling on it further, Jiang Yun followed his original plan.

He went out and bought materials for thirty batches of Hundred-Grass Liquid, then returned to the alchemy room to refine it. No matter how Xia Weier reacted—

He could not stop studying alchemy. The sooner he refined a One-Turn Golden Core—

The sooner he could directly increase his cultivation. Both he and his dao companions needed such things.

That evening, Jiang Yun packed away the refined Hundred-Grass Liquid bottle by bottle and returned to Jiang Shuanglan's room.

Jiang Shuanglan had already been waiting for a long time, sitting by the table and pondering something.

Hearing Jiang Yun arrive, she raised her head and looked at him with delight.

"Weier agreed. She does have a favorable impression of you, but she thinks that when the time comes, the three of us can just have a meal together. There's no need to hold a ceremony like last time."

"Why does she think that?" Jiang Yun found it rather strange. He had even wanted to collect wedding gifts once more.

"Probably because of some unpleasant experiences when she was young. Weier is very afraid of lively, crowded places."

Jiang Shuanglan understood Xia Weier very well.

Jiang Yun had roughly learned about some of Xia Weier's past.

Because of certain bad experiences during her childhood, she had developed this flaw in her personality.

"We'll respect Weier's wishes regarding the dao companion ceremony, but we can hold it in the mortal world. Everyone there will be people Weier knows and is familiar with, so it should be fine."

Jiang Yun did not want to make the ceremony so crude.

And so, he and Jiang Shuanglan settled on it.

Jiang Shuanglan was also quite happy. The promise she and Xia Weier had made as children had truly become reality.

It was extremely common on the Big Dipper for men to have three wives and four concubines. Jiang Shuanglan's father was the same.

Perhaps it was thanks to the Jiang Family's consistently excellent traditions.

Don't you agree, Great Emperor Heng and some Dao Ancestor?
