Chapter 139 A First Marriage is Better Than a First Marriage (15)

"Then let's not separate! Anyway, I'm used to you holding me while I sleep."

Chunyu Mo was delighted. He had already inquired and learned that when she was pregnant with those two children, Wen Xiangyan was frequently sent out on missions during the first pregnancy and hardly returned to the mansion throughout the entire pregnancy.

After her second pregnancy, she found Wen Xiangyan too talkative and annoying, so she often sent him to sleep in the study. It seems that he was still special to her.

He lowered his head and kissed her forehead. Seeing that she had already closed her eyes, he quickly said, "Don't sleep yet. I'll have someone bring in some water. You can wash up before you sleep."

Ning Yan closed her eyes and hummed in agreement, but soon fell asleep.

In a daze, she felt someone wiping her body. She leaned over and kissed the man, not even noticing where she kissed him, before falling asleep again.

Chunyu Mo: ...I was already a little angry, and this only made things worse. Looks like I won't be able to sleep tonight!

He carried her to the bed and covered her up, then instructed the maid to take good care of the princess.

Chunyu Mo went straight back to muster his troops and go hunting!

Let those ferocious beasts bear the excess energy.

With the cultivation techniques provided by Ning Yan, the soldiers' overall strength has improved significantly. Especially in the last six months, when the soldiers go out hunting, they have suffered almost no casualties unless the number of animals on both sides is too disparate.

Chunyu Mo plans to lead his men to sweep across the border bit by bit after the New Year and find out all the beast nests.

Based on past patterns, beast tides are likely to occur before and after the Lunar New Year. He was afraid that those ferocious beasts would gather in large numbers, so he wanted to eliminate as many as possible!

I never expected that it would take more than a month for him to return.

Before the New Year, the Crown Princess told him that the current cultivation method is to strengthen the body and improve physical strength. Could it be that mental strength can also be trained?

She then created a new technique, which he tried. This technique could enhance mental strength simply by meditating. After practicing for less than half a month, he was able to find ferocious beasts hidden five meters underground!

In just over a month, he led his troops to clear nearly 600 miles beyond the border. If the cultivation technique were to become widespread, wouldn't the ferocious beasts be eliminated sooner or later?

If this were truly the case, the Crown Princess would have made an unparalleled contribution!

He returned to the military camp and held a half-day meeting in the council hall. Afterwards, he searched everywhere for his Crown Princess. Ning Yan was learning to make baby clothes with several maids. When Chunyu Mo came in, she had just stood up when he picked her up and said, "Why are you doing that? Let the servants make them. Don't hurt your eyes."

"Your Highness, you're finally back."

Chunyu Mo walked away in a hurry, a smile on his lips, "Missed me?"

Ning Yan wrapped one arm around his neck and shook her little toes, "Yes, the children miss their father too."

He specifically left Wen Xiangyan behind when he left, so during the time he was away from the military camp, Wen Xiangyan stayed with him. It was purely companionship; they didn't even sleep together, which shows how well he followed the rules.

Ning Yan also got to witness the "matchmaking event" in the military camp. She had only heard about it from others before, but this was the first time she had actually seen it in person.

In the military camp, regardless of whether you are married or not, as long as you are not pregnant, someone will try to take you away.

Even Wen Xiangyan has been confessed to countless times, but he has rejected them all.

Despite being refused, the other party still issued a challenge. It was a female general weighing about 160 pounds, who was already a fifth-rank general. She was considered strong among women, but she was no match for Wen Xiangyan and lost in two rounds.

The other side continued to change targets, fighting and trying to steal people.

He would carry the person on his shoulders and run back to sleep as soon as he won a fight.

The military camp has small houses specifically for couples to share rooms. Some women are very strong and will even try to take two or three men with them when they go back to the barracks...

Anyway, there's no need for marriage; it's just a few days of fun. There's no question of liking or disliking. If a woman gets pregnant, she can rest and recuperate; if she doesn't get pregnant, they can try again next month.

There are seven days like this in a month. After seven days, I can't be so carefree anymore. I need to save my strength to deal with the ferocious beasts.

In this world, a woman's physical constitution changes greatly with her strength; the stronger she is, the stronger her constitution, and the higher her needs...

Therefore, they have an easy time giving birth and recover very well; in short, they are very resilient.

Chunyu Mo smelled the faint fragrance emanating from the woman in his arms, and his body couldn't help but stir with desire. The two quickly entered the room.

After closing the door, Chunyu Mo placed the person on the bed. "Crown Princess, please help me..."

Chunyu Mo pulled Ning Yan's hand and put it on his body.

Ning Yan was exactly three months pregnant, and the pregnancy was stable. She pulled the man's ear, making him look down, and whispered in his ear, "You need to control yourself..."

Chunyu Mo's eyes brightened as he listened. "Are you sure? You're really alright?"

Ning Yan blushed slightly, "As long as you don't go too far, it'll be fine."

What are we waiting for? I thought I had to go vegetarian because I was pregnant, but I didn't expect to get this benefit!

The prince's attendants had already ordered hot water to be brought over, assuming that the prince would wash up as soon as he returned. However, as they approached the prince's residence, they heard the creaking of the bed.

Attendant: ...Your Highness is truly full of energy!

...

As evening fell, the two cuddled together in bed and chatted. "Do you think that cultivation method could become as widespread as body-strengthening techniques?"

Ning Yan touched his cheek and said without thinking, "It's not suitable. In my opinion, Your Highness should just find a few of your trusted confidants, give them the cultivation techniques, and wait until they have learned enough before going out to explore the beast's lair."

The beasts cannot be killed off, nor should they be. The people of Xuanwu Continent rely on these ferocious beasts to improve their physical strength and change their constitution. If they are really killed off, where will the people get their meat?

Are we going to buy it from other countries?

Without that animal meat, the newborns' physical condition will decline, which will affect the overall military strength of Xuan Kingdom.

Furthermore, if the cultivation technique I wrote this time is mastered, it will allow one to kill with mental power.

If too many people learn this skill, and there are no more ferocious beasts to hunt, how much trouble will that create?

Most importantly, without external enemies, certain individuals with ulterior motives will focus their energy on internal strife. Then, wouldn't it be Father and His Highness who suffer the most headaches?

Chunyu Mo remained silent, which was also the reason why he hadn't rashly passed on his cultivation technique over the past month.

The Crown Princess is right. The ferocious beasts are like natural enemies left by God for the people of Xuanwu Continent. The two are mutually opposed, yet they also complement each other.

Ferocious beasts feed on humans, and humans feed on beasts. Over the past two thousand years, many fields on the Xuanwu Continent have been abandoned because the old, weak, sick, and disabled cannot cultivate much land.

If too many ferocious beasts are killed at once, they cannot be preserved, let alone wiped out in a short period of time. The beast meat will be wasted, which will not only affect the food supply of the people, but may also lead to a shortage of military supplies...

Chunyu Mo said, "You're right. It seems that I just need to select a few trusted confidants and pass on the techniques to them. As long as we can prevent the ferocious beasts from gathering into a beast tide, the people of Xuan Kingdom can recuperate."
