Lin Xiaoran immediately told Feng Shao the good news. But to Lin Xiaoran's surprise, Feng Shao did not show his happiness immediately, but instead looked terrified as if a disaster was about to happen.

It's bad! I got Ran'er pregnant before we even got married! What should I do? My father-in-law will definitely send me to hell with the Yellow Spring Sword.

But Feng Shao couldn't figure it out. How could Ran'er get pregnant so quickly? Isn't it said that it is very difficult for monks to get pregnant? But according to the time of diagnosis, I'm afraid she was pregnant when they first had sex, right? She got it right the first time? Why didn't I know I was so amazing?

All kinds of thoughts were running wildly through Feng Shao's mind, but one idea was unshakable.

This child must be had!

Feng Shao had lived two lives, and this was the first time he had a child, so he was quite happy. But as a man, he always had to consider more practical issues.

So Feng Shao had to think about how to apologize to his father-in-law and mother-in-law and ask for leniency. It would be best if he could just give them a beating. But his father-in-law and mother-in-law were both in the Tribulation Realm, so they might not take such a beating. But for the sake of his child, he could only bite his teeth and accept it!

And the matter of getting married in the church must be put on the agenda as soon as possible! Not only must it be put on the agenda, but it must be done as quickly as possible! If possible, it is best to do it now, immediately, right away!

Lin Xiaoran looked at Feng Shao, who was sometimes fearful, sometimes tender, and sometimes solemn. He couldn't help biting his fingers and stared at Feng Shao blankly.

Seeing Feng Shao finally come to his senses, Lin Xiaoran said, "Brother Shao, should we go back to Yunjian Pavilion and talk to our parents?"

Feng Shao's face froze, and he looked at Lin Xiaoran and couldn't help but sigh.

"I really need to say this..."

——————————

Two days later, Feng Shao and Lin Xiaoran returned to Yunjian Pavilion.

The son-in-law came to visit, so the Yunjian Pavilion family would naturally give him a warm reception. On the way to the main hall, everyone was respectful to Feng Shao, and their seriousness seemed to be slightly higher than Lin Xiaoran's.

This made Feng Shao feel even more guilty.

Before the two of them arrived at the main hall, a steward from the Yunjian Pavilion came to inform them: "The Pavilion Master has something to say. Please ask the young lady and the son-in-law to go to the study to have a talk."

Lin Xiaoran raised his eyebrows.

It looks like a family meeting is coming up!

After thanking the deacon, Feng Shao and Lin Xiaoran went straight to Lin Fengtian's study. Although Feng Shao had already thought of a pre-arranged statement, as he got closer to the study, he became more and more nervous and uneasy, and was even ready to take out the Luantian Mirror and the Zhutian Mirror at any time.

Yunjian Pavilion is very big, and the study is very far away. But no matter how big it is, you have to reach it eventually. Looking at the study from afar, Feng Shao swallowed subconsciously and whispered to Lin Xiaoran: "That... Ran'er, if anything unexpected happens later, don't worry about anything else, just keep crying, and leave the rest to me."

Lin Xiaoran blinked and asked in confusion: "Brother Shao, why am I crying?"

"Ah, this..." Feng Shao thought about it and felt that this fact was really hard to explain, so he could only say, "Anyway, just listen to me! Just think of it as for the child..."

Lin Xiaoran nodded, not quite understanding: "Okay then! Since Brother Shao has said so, I will do as Brother Shao wishes."

Feng Shao felt a little more at ease and regained some courage.

As soon as they entered the study, Feng Shao and Lin Xiaoran heard a man and a woman talking in the study. The two people talking were none other than Lin Fengtian and Xiao Ruoyao.

Upon hearing his parents' voices, Lin Xiaoran ran in happily and shouted, "Daddy! Mommy! Ran'er is back!"

Xiao Ruoyao looked at Lin Xiaoran with a smile on her face, but she pretended to be angry and said, "You are already sixteen years old, why are you still like a little girl?"

Lin Xiaoran stuck out his tongue: "Oh! I just came here, mother, are you going to teach me a lesson? How about I leave?"

Xiao Ruoyao rolled her eyes at her and said, "Alright, stop talking nonsense. Sit down now!"

After Lin Xiaoran obediently found a seat and sat down, Feng Shao also walked slowly into the study. He first bowed solemnly to Lin Fengtian and Xiao Ruoyao, and then said, "My son-in-law greets my father-in-law and mother-in-law!"

Lin Fengtian and Xiao Ruoyao looked at each other, with a meaningful look in their eyes.

Lin Fengtian nodded and said with a smile: "Since you are here, please sit down first!"

Feng Shao sat down properly, but his posture seemed a little nervous. He didn't seem like he was here to visit his relatives, but rather like he was here to admit his mistakes. He was just waiting for the other party to scold him harshly, and then he would just lower his head and nod in agreement.

Just when Feng Shao was thinking about what to say next, Xiao Ruoyao suddenly said, "Ran'er, how are you doing with the things I asked you to do?"

Lin Xiaoran said happily: "Mom, I am pregnant successfully!"

Feng Shao almost vomited blood on the spot.

Why did you say it so suddenly? Don't you need to prepare for it beforehand?

In the midst of fear and trepidation, Xiao Ruoyao glanced at Feng Shao meaningfully and nodded slowly: "It's good that you're pregnant. This way, your father and I will be relieved!"

When talking about this, Xiao Ruoyao felt quite complicated. After all, Lin Xiaoran was her daughter, and she raised her as a treasure. Although her daughter would get married sooner or later and give birth to children for her husband sooner or later, when Xiao Ruoyao heard about this, she still had an inexplicable feeling in her heart.

Lin Fengtian knocked on the desk, looked at Feng Shao who was still a little confused, and said lightly: "Feng Shao, in fact, it was your mother-in-law and I who made Ran'er pregnant. As for why, I think you can understand it, right?"

Feng Shao understood immediately: "Father-in-law means that you want Ran'er to have children before he reaches the Golden Core stage?"

Lin Fengtian sighed: "There are some things that you young people cannot consider at the moment, but we have to consider them for you first. Although Ran'er's pregnancy before marriage may damage her reputation, we cultivators of my generation don't really care about these things. Compared to reputation, the continuation of bloodline is more important."

At this point, Lin Fengtian asked again: "So, do you know what to do next?"

Feng Shao nodded: "I will prepare for the wedding right away."

Lin Fengtian smiled slightly: "Then I wonder where you plan to arrange the wedding?"

Feng Shao answered without hesitation: "It will be arranged in Wuling City."

Wuling City is the name of the new city.

Lin Fengtian nodded in appreciation: "You think the same as I do. How far has your Wuling City been built? How long will it take to be fully completed?"

Feng Shao replied: "It will probably take another three months! In fact, the city's infrastructure has been basically completed. What's missing the most now is probably people."

Lin Fengtian asked with interest: "Are you planning to invite some big families to live in Wuling City in the name of the wedding?"

"That's exactly what I planned."

Lin Fengtian nodded thoughtfully: "But you should know that it is not an easy task to get these big families to give up their ancestral lands where their ancestors have lived for generations and live in your city, and to pay taxes to you in the future. What do you have to do about this?"

Speaking of this, Feng Shao perked up. He smiled and said, "Speaking of which, I have been studying the natural spiritual energy mined from the ground in Wuling City for some time. The results are remarkable, and I am about to report to my father-in-law and mother-in-law."

As he said that, Feng Shao took out two small pens with exquisite shapes from his storage ring and handed them to Lin Fengtian and Xiao Ruoyao respectively. The two took the pens and played with them curiously.

After a while, Lin Fengtian said, "Your little pen is quite delicately made. The ring on it seems to be a space storage device. As for the pen core... it seems to be compressed natural spiritual energy. In my opinion, this little pen can be used to depict small formations."

Xiao Ruoyao also said, "Generally speaking, if you want to depict a small formation, you need to work hard on both the infusion of true qi and the infusion of spirit. Your small pen directly replaces the process of infusion of true qi, and the user only needs to focus on the infusion of spirit, which greatly reduces the difficulty of depicting the formation."

Feng Shao nodded and smiled, "Father-in-law and mother-in-law are right. This small brush is made to depict small formations. As we all know, the application scope of small formations is far greater than that of large formations. Many magic tools need to be engraved with small formations, and the smaller the better, so that enough small formations can be accommodated. However, due to limited ability, many people cannot take into account the infusion of true qi and spirit at the same time. Only a very small number of gifted people can do this. It is also because of this that good magic tools are very rare."

Xiao Ruoyao's eyes lit up: "With your little pen, the difficulty of making magic tools is greatly reduced, and even high-quality magic tools can be manufactured in large quantities! In this way, isn't your little pen a treasure pot?"

At this time, Lin Fengtian asked a key question: "So how is your small output?"

Feng Shao replied, "This small pen is made up of two parts, the pen body and the ring. The compressed spiritual energy stored in the ring can be replaced after it is used up, so this small pen can be used repeatedly. The only difficulty in manufacturing is the interface between the storage ring and the pen body. I don't have many skilled craftsmen, so it's difficult to achieve large-scale mass production, but I think there will be no problem with my father-in-law and mother-in-law."

After Lin Fengtian and Xiao Ruoyao exchanged a glance, they smiled and said, "It looks like Xue Li will have work to do again."

Xiao Ruoyao asked another question at this time: "So, you want to use this small amount of money as bait to win over those families in Dongzhou that lack foundation?"

Feng Shao smiled and said, "That's right!"
