Lin Ye came back from the inner room and threw a few books into Xie Jingzhi's arms, saying jokingly, "I'll give you these first. You two can hide in your room and read them slowly."
Xie Jingzhi was shocked, and almost thought that his friend had figured out from his abnormality that his wife was a monster, so he told them to watch it together.
When he opened the book, he was immediately shocked by the explicit content inside.
"...I need to practice, why did you give me a pornographic picture book?!" Xie Jingzhi's fingers seemed to be burned by flames. He closed the book with a trembling hand and threw it back into Lin Ye's arms, "How could you have such a book?!"
"Tsk." Lin Ye shook his head and put the books in order. "Who is like you? Living like an antique. It's normal for a man to have a few books like this."
Xie Jingzhi, who had never bought a single copy, didn't want to discuss this topic with him: "...So what does this have to do with cultivation?"
"Haven't you heard of dual cultivation?" Lin Ye said with a smile, "Tsk, this copy is a treasure of mine. The cat ears and tail are depicted so vividly. This copy is priceless."
Xie Jingzhi had a complicated expression, and he felt that he could no longer see through his good friend.
He applied a little force with his fingers, causing wrinkles on the title page. Lin Ye immediately wailed, "Be gentle! This is a limited edition!"
"...You're about to do something big, yet you're still reading this kind of stuff! Confiscate it!" Xie Jingzhi stuffed the book into his arms and turned away.
He stretched out his long legs and walked with the wind, leaving Lin Ye's angry shouts behind him.

"Xie Jingzhi, Xie Jingzhi?" Wen Liyu finished reading a storybook and found that Xie Jingzhi had been in a daze for a long time, so she turned her head and kept calling him.
She reached out with a wicked smile and placed her hand on his chest, intending to pinch the two red beans on his chest hard and teach him a lesson.
When I put my hand on it, I only felt something hard like a book. "Hmm?"
Wen Liyu touched it again, reached in, and tried to take the book out.
"Jiaojiao, what are you touching?" Xie Jingzhi immediately stopped recalling and pinched her wrist guiltily, preventing her from continuing to stretch.
Wen Liyu pouted in grievance, "...be gentle."
Xie Jingzhi quickly let go of his hand, lowered his head with a look of heartache and self-blame, and apologized very skillfully, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, did it hurt?"
Wen Liyu curled up the corners of her mouth slightly, and while he wasn't paying attention, she immediately reached her hand in again, but was caught again.
Xie Jingzhi was so angry at her little thoughts that he laughed. He lowered his head and bit her nose, "You really are..."
"What is it?" Wen Liyu's eyes were filled with tears. She continued to stretch out her hand unwillingly, stubbornly wanting to know what it was.
Xie Jingzhi's ears turned red, and he held her further away, trying to hide his mistake. "Nothing."
The more you don't let Wen Liyu see it, the more she will want to see it.
She pushed Xie Jingzhi down, sat on his abdominal muscles, and reached out to tear his clothes, "Let me see!"
"Jiaojiao, stop." Xie Jingzhi struggled and tried to get up. "There's nothing to see, just some account books!"
Wen Liyu paused with a look of doubt on her face, "Really?"
Xie Jingzhi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "Really."
"Okay." Wen Liyu stood up with a pout, secretly observing Xie Jingzhi's actions and expressions with her peripheral vision.
Seeing that she had indeed stopped making trouble, Xie Jingzhi wanted to sit up, supporting his upper body with his arms on the bed.
"Now is the time!" Wen Liyu shouted in her heart, "This is a good opportunity!" and immediately reached out to touch his arms.
He grabbed the spine of the book and pulled it out with a swish.
"Let me see what it is~" Wen Liyu got the book and immediately got out of bed, held the book in front of her and opened it.
"Wait!" Xie Jingzhi failed to prevent her series of smooth movements. He quickly stood up to pull her, and watched her flip open in the middle.
“………”
Wen Liyu opened her mouth wide as she looked at the picture printed on the page, which showed several pairs of intertwined black shadows.
"...You, you, you!" She pinched the pages of the book and stared at Xie Jingzhi in disbelief. "You have such a good thing! How could you hide it from me?"
"No, wife, listen to my explanation!" Xie Jingzhi was stunned with an anxious expression, "...Ah?"
Wen Liyu ignored his stunned and puzzled expression, returned to bed with the book in her hands and began to read, while eating snacks.
"Can this pose really be done?" She pointed at the painting, confusion evident on her pretty face. "Humans can't do it, right?"
Xie Jingzhi hesitated to speak, "...Yes."
Was his wife hinting at something? Like, maybe she wasn't really human? Or was she trying to experiment with this position?
The koi spirit's thoughts are so hard to guess!
Xie Jingzhi had already guessed that his wife was a fish. After all, he had seen her true form today.
Moreover, my wife eats everything in her daily life except fish. The cats in the village often fly around her. I guess they smell the fish.
Wen Liyu didn't even realize that her vest had fallen off, and she read the entire book with relish.

As the days passed, Xie Jingzhi and Lin Ye used the prescriptions for treating the epidemic to win over many people. Now the county magistrate and his men could no longer control or threaten him.
When Wen Liyu was in her fifth month of pregnancy, she moved with Xie Jingzhi to a mansion in a big city in the north.
The previous owner of the mansion was a famous landowner and merchant in the city, and was as wealthy as a country.
The mansion was built in an extremely luxurious and extravagant manner. Even the floor of the main courtyard was made of white marble. There was also a very beautiful pond in the courtyard with many beautiful koi fish in it.
What Wen Liyu was most satisfied with was the pillar in the front hall. It was carved with a dragon holding a pearl, which looked lifelike and red and gold in color, giving her the illusion of seeing herself turning into a dragon.
Xie Jingzhi took her everywhere to familiarize herself with the place. "Wife, do you like it here?"
"Yeah, that's great." Wen Liyu nodded. "Are we just the two of us staying here?"
"The others live in the other courtyard." Xie Jingzhi carefully supported her lower back. As he passed by the pond, he glanced at the koi fish inside and asked tentatively, "These fish..."
"Hmm?" Wen Liyu followed his gaze and muttered softly, "None of them are as pretty as me."
Xie Jingzhi pretended not to hear and changed the subject, "...Wife, do you want to raise these fish?"
He already has one koi, and raising so many would be excessive and would also make him worried.
The fish in this pond should be ordinary fish, right?!
"That's all fine." Wen Liyu yawned. None of the fish here could practice cultivation. They were all stupid fish. She had no interest in playing with fish that couldn't talk.
Xie Jingzhi understood her subtext and comforted her to go back to her room and fall asleep.
Leaving the newly bought slaves to guard outside the door, he walked towards the other courtyard to deal with the new forces and discuss what to do next.
Xie Jingzhi's power is now very mature and strong, so he can consider returning to his "hometown" for revenge.
"Jingzhi, we can't delay any longer." Lin Ye's expression was serious, "You should go with us."
