Investing in the Reborn Empress, She Actually Calls Me 'Husband'

As everyone knows.

The Ice Cube's soup was more than just poisoned.

Li Mo wondered if he could find some soup in the poison.

"Can I not drink it?"

"You've been drinking it for two days."

Ying Bing frowned, looking at him. freeweɓnovel.cѳm

".....Two days?"

Li Mo opened his mouth.

"Elder Xue's recipe, three bowls a day, for three full days."

"Today is the last day."

Ying Bing gently raised the spoon and brought it to Li Mo's mouth.

Shockingly, the famous Ice Cube would actually take care of someone.

Fortunately, no one who had heard of her reputation in her previous life was present, otherwise, they would have gouged out their own eyeballs.

Li Mo: "....."

He mustered his courage and drank it down. The taste was slightly bitter, but not unpleasant.

He finally understood how the faint Inner Breath in his Meridians had recovered.

It turned out the Ice Cube had fed him.

Does that mean she's been coming to take care of him every day recently?

The room suddenly became very quiet.

Outside the window, the intermittent chirping of summer cicadas could be heard, along with the sound of his mother vigorously shaking a quilt, and a splashing sound which must have been his father watering the flowers and plants.

Every sound entered his ears. Li Mo used to find it noisy, making him unable to sleep after getting up to use the latrine and lying back down.

But after being away from home for so long, coupled with the clinking of the spoon and porcelain bowl, he felt an inexplicable sense of peace.

The sunlight was also pleasant.

In the hazy dust motes, every one of the girl's eyelashes was tinged with crystal, her eyes clear and bright, shining with every glance.

Our Li Mo isn't someone who hasn't seen things before.

But at this moment, he still couldn't help but be lost in thought.

"Hand."

Ying Bing suddenly spoke.

"Oh, oh."

Li Mo held out his hand.

After Ying Bing grasped it, two streams of Inner Breath circulated alternately, passing over as usual, calming his tangled Meridians.

While circulating his Qi, she asked:

"How do you feel?"

"Soft."

Li Mo rubbed it and said seriously.

"?"

Ying Bing raised her head, her gaze quietly looking over.

Li Mo came back to his senses and lightly coughed, saying:

"I can barely use Phoenix Cries Heavenly Marsh."

"Good."

And so.

After many days, the two happily began their Dual Cultivation again.

Outside the window, Li Dalong happened to pass by and, seeing the scene inside the house, quickly stopped in his tracks.

"Is our son awake?"

Just as he was about to greet his son, his mouth was covered by his wife, Gu Xueqin, who had rushed over upon hearing the news.

Gu Xueqin even used her family's light-body martial arts.

"You blockhead, are you stupid? Kids are sensitive."

"Right, right, my dear wife is right."

Li Dalong awkwardly shut up, bent his knees, and only peeked half his head inside.

The two looked inside, their faces revealing benevolent aunt-like smiles.

Unconsciously or unable to resist, they started mumbling again.

"How nice, eh heh."

"See what I told you? Since he was little, I always felt that Bing'er should be our Old Li family's daughter-in-law."

"Good, good, I also watched her grow up."

"Mo'er has also become sensible. When he was little, he used to pull people's hair for no reason, and couldn't be stopped even when beaten."

"Going out for experience, he has indeed become sensible."

"Bing'er is so formidable now. She's already in the Xuan Dan Realm. As long as she doesn't dislike our son, it's fine."

"Fortunately, our son is as handsome as me. Alas, back then, I was also a famous handsome young man in the ten-mile radius....."

......

Li Mo: "....."

No.

Dad, Mom, you two, you really don't see me as a Martial Artist, do you?

For him, even a mosquito flying outside was crystal clear, so his parents' whispers were nothing short of deafening.

Also, she has the Mandate of Heaven, I have the System. I'm not worse than the Ice Cube, am I?

Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river! What's a Xuan Dan? Just wait until I condense three hundred and sixty-five of them!

Right.

Since he can hear, then the Ice Cube.....

Li Mo looked over and found that the girl's jade-like face was calm, but her crystal-clear eyelashes in the sunlight were trembling slightly.....

Understood.

I'll play along with your act, pretending not to see~

Estimating it was about time.

Li Mo coughed heavily.

"Where are Mom and Dad? I haven't had a chance to greet them since I came back."

"They...."

Ying Bing's gaze silently shifted towards the window, and she withdrew her delicate hand.

Before long, footsteps sounded.

"Son, did we disturb you?"

Li Dalong and his wife entered from the doorway.

Li Mo seemed very surprised:

"What a coincidence, Mr. Li and Ms. Gu, speak of the devil and he appears, eh."

"Your mother and I were just strolling nearby, yes, just strolling."

Li Dalong's expression was normal, his words resounding.

"What a coincidence, I say."

"Indeed, you are right, sir."

Old Li and Xiao Li's skill at talking nonsense was now evenly matched. The father and son could talk crosstalk for an hour or two, just spouting off.

"Are you feeling better? Elder Xue even came to ask about you today."

Gu Xueqin sat nearby, scrutinizing her son.

"Two days of rest should be enough."

Next was the family's warm greetings session.

Li Mo took out the Earth Vein Spirit Milk and Medicinal Pills for healing that he had prepared long ago, giving several instructions.

His father had old injuries on his body and was still stuck in the Inner Breath Realm.

His mother had weakened her body when she gave birth to him and hadn't practiced martial arts afterward.

Amidst their emotions, the couple repeatedly urged him,

Son, you must never do anything illegal or against the rules, like sneaking into Qingyuan Sect's storeroom to steal things.

Xiao Li's face was covered in black lines.

The Elders' worries were not unfounded. When he was little, he stole silver from home to buy popsicles, and got a good beating for it.

Ying Bing had been watching quietly from the side, a serene and relaxed feeling unconsciously surfacing in her heart.

In Li Mo's words, this was called.....

Stealing half a day of leisure from life?

【Ding dong—】

At this moment, the System's daily prompt sounded in due course.

【Countdown to the next ranking comparison: Seven days.】

This time, she didn't have to worry about receiving any loser's punishment.

Everything was getting back on track.

She now possessed Blood Phoenix Essence, Radiant Phoenix Soul, and a true phoenix feather.

Even the heir of Yantian Sect or the prince of the Great Yu Dynasty couldn't have so many trump cards in the Inner Breath Realm.

Even if he condensed a Mystic Core, it wouldn't affect her ranking.

The first-place reward would definitely be better than the second-place one.

Thinking of this.

However, it was difficult for Ying Bing to feel that it was well-deserved.

Because he had contributed to it.....

.....

Another two days passed.

After Li Mo woke up, he took the Spirit Pill and miracle medicine from the System space, recovering extremely quickly.

As he expected.

Breaking and then establishing indeed brought him an Opportunity to break through his Realm.

He began to condense his Mystic Core.

And Ying Bing, at home, was as usual, just consolidating her Realm every night.

Now, her Dual Mystic Cores were completely round and perfect, and the Blood Phoenix Essence was truly assimilated and made her Foundation.

This day, she had just finished her cultivation, and the vast power of the Blood Phoenix Essence slowly disappeared.

When she opened her eyes, several Elders of the Qingyuan Sect, led by Shangguan Wencang, were looking at her with smiles on their faces.

"Dual Mystic Cores, and a great Opportunity bestowed upon you."

"After returning to the sect, choose an auspicious day, and you can enter the main peak's ancestral hall."

Shangguan Wencang spoke with satisfaction.

Ying Bing nodded slightly. She knew these people had come for other matters.

Qian Bufan spoke:

"Regarding the Secret Realm, we still need to understand the situation from you first."

Ying Bing and Li Mo were not together from beginning to end.

Li Mo had not yet recovered, so Ying Bing's experiences naturally needed to be inquired ✧ NоvеIight ✧ (Original source) about.
