The system used its own power to help her sort out her physical fatigue and explained, "We are currently integrating the data. It will take another three working days to get the results."
"Thank you." Wen Liyu felt her body become a little more relaxed and breathed a long sigh of relief.
"You're welcome." The system's voice was a little excited. The host was usually very nice to it, so it was only right for it to repay the host.
Wen Liyu rested for a while before opening her eyes. She moved her fingers, but they were so sore that she couldn't move them. However, her body felt refreshed.
It should be Xie Jingzhi who helped her clean it.
"By the way, host, I want to remind you that you are pregnant now." The system suddenly spoke. "When the [One Shot] skill was activated, I did remind you, but you were not in good condition at the time, so you may not have heard it."
"Okay." Not long after Wen Liyu woke up, the door was opened and a steady and restrained sound of footsteps was heard.
Xie Jingzhi carefully lifted the bed curtain, his tone filled with surprise, "Wife, are you awake?"
"Yeah." Wen Liyu pouted aggrievedly, "My body is sore and I'm so hungry."
"I'll bring the food in right away." Xie Jingzhi picked her up from the bed, stacked the pillows together, and let her lean against the headboard.
He bent down and kissed her with a look of heartache and satisfaction, "Be good and wait for me."
Almost an hour had passed before Wen Liyu was satisfied with her service. She lay on Xie Jingzhi's chest, using his bulging pectoral muscles as a pillow, "Xie Jingzhi."
"What's wrong, wife?" Xie Jingzhi lowered his head and kissed her fragrant head again and again.
"Have you dealt with everything recently?" Wen Liyu looked up at him. "How's the drought going?"
"Not good." Xie Jingzhi's expression became serious, and his tone was heavy. "People have been fleeing here one after another, and now the outside of the city is full of people."
"Don't the prefects and county magistrates in various places care?" Wen Liyu frowned slightly, "How could it spread so quickly..."
"They?" Xie Jingzhi sneered, "They only care about their own little piece of land. The city closest to us now only allows people to leave but not enter."
"Anyone who wanted to go in was beaten to death." He tightened his arms around Wen Liyu slightly, and a storm swept through his eyes again. "They are all deaf and blind."
Wen Liyu sighed, patted his chest soothingly, and asked tentatively, "Have you ever thought about... holding power in your own hands?"
"..." Xie Jingzhi's pupils shrank, and he realized that his wife was not joking. He quickly covered her mouth, "...Jiaojiao, you can't say such things again in the future, understand?"
Wen Liyu nodded obediently, and when he released her hand, she said, "Whatever you want to do, I will support you."
"...Do you know what you're talking about?" Xie Jingzhi said seriously, "This kind of thing is not something you can joke about. If you're not careful, you..."
"I know." Wen Liyu's expression was serious. She had been a queen, so how could she not know? "I understand everything, and I support you in doing it."
Xie Jingzhi really didn't know what to say to her now. How audacious?
But what she said was exactly what he wanted to do and had been doing.
Speaking of being bold, Xie Jingzhi is even bolder and has no right to teach her a lesson.
Xie Jingzhi lifted Wen Liyu's body a little higher, "Forget it, you can only tell me about this kind of thing, and you must remember not to mention it to anyone else."
"I'm not stupid." Wen Liyu rolled her eyes.
She paused, reached out and patted his forehead, "Go and do what you want to do. I will share my good luck with you now. You will succeed in whatever you do."
The moment Wen Liyu patted his head, she used a high-level good luck talisman on him.
"Really?" Xie Jingzhi thought she was joking and agreed with a smile, "Then I have to give it a try."
"Go ahead." Wen Liyu nodded seriously, "It only lasts for one day! Remember to come back to me tomorrow to continue your good luck."
Xie Jingzhi was amused by his wife's serious and cute look, and quickly hugged her in his arms, "Wife, how can you be so cute!"
He couldn't help but lower his head and pecked her hard a few times, leaving red marks on her cheeks.
Wen Liyu cried and cursed, "Be gentle...! You big liar!"
Every time I promise to be gentler, I end up being so hard the next time!!
"What big asshole?" Xie Jingzhi misheard, "I don't have one."
He retorted seriously, "Wife, please don't talk nonsense."
Wen Liyu sobbed tiredly, wiping her tears, not wanting to pay attention to him, "..."
-
Xie Jingzhi, who was kicked out of the house by his wife to go to work, had a look of dissatisfaction written all over his face.
Lin Ye waved his fan, "Haven't we already checked this place? What are we doing here again?"
"Check it more." Xie Jingzhi said with a stern face, glancing at him unhappily, "How can you only check such an important place once?"
The two of them were walking in the forest, with an open area behind them. Xie Jingzhi didn't know where he stepped, and suddenly a rumbling mechanical sound came from the open area.
It didn't take long before an underground passage appeared. The pitch-black passage looked like a monster with its mouth wide open, patiently waiting for its prey to walk into its mouth.
Xie Jingzhi and Lin Ye had both seen it many times, and it contained various things and properties collected over the years.
During the excavation and expansion process, they also discovered a wide underground water flow, and the drought on the surface had not yet spread underground.
During this period, all the tight-lipped trusted subordinates in the mountain village were called here to mine and collect water resources, and they just finished storing water the day before yesterday.
When they came to collect water, they did not see Xie Jingzhi and his men's gold, silver and treasures. They just thought that this was an underground cave that the boss and the second in command had accidentally found.
Lin Ye shook his head, not arguing with the unsatisfied old man, and followed him down.
"The place where we keep important things is so hidden that even if someone says there is a cave here, it will not be discovered." Lin Ye waved his folding fan casually, blowing the cold air in the cave onto Xie Jingzhi, trying to cool him down physically.
Xie Jingzhi took a few quick steps to avoid him, "Oh, are you sure?"
"What else?" Lin Ye sighed and shook his head after being rejected. He chased after him and said, "If anyone can find this place, I will never marry or have children!"
Xie Jingzhi said nothing and pushed open the hidden stone door where the treasure was. The people inside who were carrying the treasure and Xie Jingzhi who was standing at the door were both stunned.
A dozen thieves in black: …
Xie Jingzhi and Lin Ye: ………
"Brother, what did you say just now? I didn't hear it clearly." Xie Jingzhi turned his head and looked at his friend expressionlessly, "Say it again?"
Lin Ye: “…………”Damn it.
