Seeing that his wife was about to get angry, Xu Rui quickly let go of her hand and pulled out a handkerchief from somewhere on his body to wipe the drool from her mouth.
"Honey, don't be angry. I just couldn't help hitting you because you're so cute. Why don't you hit me back?"
Tang Baozhu rolled her eyes. With his thick skin, even if you scratched him with a knife, there wouldn't be a mark. She didn't want to torture herself.
"Explain yourself first, why did you pinch my cheek? If you don't explain, I'm really going to get angry."
Xu Rui touched his nose, a little embarrassed, and said, "It's all because you said you wanted to buy a small gourd from the merchant guild. Why didn't you ask your husband about this? Do you really need to buy such a small thing? Don't you know that your husband is a genius at everything—refining weapons, making pills, setting up arrays, drawing talismans, etc.? If you go to buy it elsewhere, wouldn't that be disrespecting your husband?"
Tang Baozhu hadn't really noticed what Xu Rui was good at. It seemed she needed to take a good look at the contents of the ring he had given her. Judging from how complete the contents were, he must be quite skilled in many things. After all, he had given her the items, and they must have been made by him, because he wasn't the kind of person who would give her things made by another man.
"Well, I didn't know! Okay, okay, it's my fault, I forgive you, alright? We have a deal, you can't pinch my cheeks anymore, you're drooling, it's so annoying."
By the end, she was even using a coquettish tone, and Xu Rui couldn't resist. He immediately picked up his wife and carried her into the house next door.
Tang Baozhu knew what he was going to do as soon as she saw his movements, and quickly refused, "No, no, you haven't explained to me what the other six things are for yet. Explain them first."
Seeing that his wife was still thinking about those six things, Xu Rui pretended to be disappointed and said, "Are those things more important than me? Don't you care about me?"
When Tang Baozhu saw his expression, her heart skipped a beat. Had she really gone too far?
"No, no, you are the most important person in my heart. Come on, I'm ready."
She stopped struggling and lay flat, her hands still tugging at her clothes, afraid he would misunderstand.
Xu Rui secretly smiled to himself. He hadn't expected that his wife would respond better to gentle persuasion than force. Finally, he had a way to control her.
"If you really don't want to, you don't have to force yourself. It's okay even if nothing happens, although I really want to have a child with you."
His tone was one of utter dejection, as if he had been heartbroken by Tang Baozhu, that unfaithful man.
Tang Baozhu was surprised that Xu Ruiran wanted to have a child. Seeing his heartbroken expression, she reflected on herself, wondering if she had really gone too far.
But she didn't think so. It wasn't that she didn't want to; she just wanted to see all six things before coming. It was his impatience that made her think this way.
She hadn't really considered the issue of having children. After all, the higher one's cultivation level in this world, the less likely one is to have children. For both men and women, once one of them reaches the Nascent Soul stage, it becomes particularly difficult to have children.
Even if there were, there wouldn't be many; they would be extremely rare. She really hadn't thought she could have children, after all, Xu Rui's cultivation level had already surpassed the Nascent Soul stage by several levels. Just thinking about his Tribulation Transcending stage cultivation, she no longer dared to hope for it.
Thinking this to herself, she simply asked, "You can still have children?"
Upon hearing this question, Xu Rui felt like he was about to explode. "No, honey, let's talk, can we not resort to personal attacks? Why can't I have children? No, no, look at my loose tongue, I misspoke. It should be, why can't I let you have children?"
Xu Rui felt he had been too good to her. It seemed he should keep her bedridden for a month to show her his prowess and prevent his wife from doubting his abilities.
Seeing his explosive expression, Tang Baozhu knew he had misunderstood her, so she quickly explained, "That's not what I meant. You've misunderstood me. What I meant was, with your cultivation level so high, can you really have children? You know, it's very difficult to have children after the Nascent Soul stage. Don't you have any idea what your cultivation level is now?"
Upon hearing that this was the reason, Xu Rui finally breathed a sigh of relief, as long as it wasn't a matter of doubting his own abilities.
However, seeing his wife's silly look, he still reminded her, "The fertility pills given by the immortals are still usable. The contents are different from the fertility pills in our cultivation world. The ones in the cultivation world may not be able to make you pregnant, but the fertility pills given by the immortals will not be a problem. I also grabbed about ten fertility pills in the red envelope group. Even if you want to have ten or eight children, it's no problem. It depends on your wishes."
Tang Baozhu originally thought that the fertility pill could only be used in the mortal world, but she did not expect it to work in the cultivation world as well. However, the fertility pills native to the cultivation world were not good; she had to use those from the immortal realm.
Now that the big shot has given me so many pills, I have not only pills for having children but also pills for having many children. I feel relieved.
After all, one can live for far too long in the cultivation world. If one doesn't have a child to play with, how boring would life be?
"I thought the Fertility Pill was no longer usable, but how did you know the Fertility Pill from the Immortal Realm was still usable? Tell me honestly, how did you know?"
Xu Rui was immediately displeased when he saw his wife doubting his chastity. "Don't doubt me. I have been chaste for you for over a thousand years. It's just that I have used this thing on other people, so I know about it."
"Who have you used it for? You can only guarantee you can have a baby if you have someone with the same cultivation level as you. Do you think our sect's big boss would want to have a baby at his age?"
In fact, Tang Baozhu was just being dramatic. She had several husbands in other small worlds combined, so it was understandable that he had other Daoist partners in the past.
However, I was still quite happy to hear that he had remained chaste for over a thousand years.
Seeing his wife's curious look, Xu Rui felt there was nothing to hide. "An elder of the same cultivation level as me, who is quite old, unexpectedly met his true love and wanted her to have a child for him. So he asked around for fertility secrets. I happened to know one, so I gave him one to try. Later, he did have a son, so I can guarantee that he can definitely have a child."
Tang Baozhu originally thought that Xu Rui was the only oddball who had waited for her for thousands of years. She never expected that there were other people who had been single for thousands of years and then suddenly met their true love.
