A Dou Zun strongman?"
Hearing this, Ye Chen's brows furrowed slightly, his expression turning grave.
With his current strength, he was nowhere near capable of contending against a Dou Zun powerhouse.
Even with the concealnt of the small world, he was confident that Xiao Xun'er's identity would remain hidden.....yet Ye Chen was a man who valued absolute certainty.
If even the slightest clue were uncovered, there would be no chance of turning the situation around.
The thods of the Dou Zun experts and the Ancient Clan were unknown to him, and he couldn't guarantee with complete confidence that they wouldn't see through his disguise.
"Ling Ying, when does this Dou Zun expert visit each year?" Ye Chen asked, his voice low but steady.
He needed to know how much ti he had to prepare.
"Master, two months ago, the young lady inford that the Dou Zun expert had already visited this year," Ling Ying replied.
"Oh?"
A glimr of relief flashed across Ye Chen's eyes. If they had already co, then the Ancient Clan would not send anyone again until next year.
Which ant… Ye Chen had nearly a full year to make his preparations.
After a while, Ye Chen returned to the small world, carrying a bucket of steaming hot water and a tray of delicious food.
"Xun'er, wake up. Take a bath first, then have sothing to eat," Ye Chen said softly, gently rousing Xiao Xun'er from her deep sleep.
Perhaps she had truly resigned herself to her situation, because her condition seed noticeably better than before.
Without paying much attention to Ye Chen's presence, she calmly bathed, the scene unfolding like a painting of a beauty erging from water.
Ye Chen's gaze lingered for a mont before he quietly activated the Crystal Stone, capturing this mont for himself.
After the bath, Xiao Xun'er....likely drained from her earlier exhaustion.....devoured the food Ye Chen had brought, eating far more than he had expected.
Seeing her appetite return and her mood sowhat stabilized, Ye Chen felt a faint sense of relief.
As long as she no longer harbored thoughts of ending her life, the rest would be far easier.
Still, he knew he had to work harder...Xun'er needed to conceive as soon as possible.
With that thought, Ye Chen's eyes slowly swept over the tranquil surroundings of the small world.
Ye Chen looked around the small world and felt it was ti for a renovation.
Once Xiao Xun'er was pregnant, he planned to let her stay here, resting and focusing entirely on her pregnancy.
To nurture a child, the environnt had to be good....yet the current small world was barren and lifeless, hardly an ideal place for raising a baby.
Xiao Xun'er had been born into a noble family, accustod to refinent, yet here she was, confined to this closed and desolate space.
Such surroundings could easily make her restless, and in the worst case, affect the stability of the fetus.
That simply wouldn't do.
Ye Chen decided he would renovate the place, making it comfortable and pleasant for her.
After all, he planned to spend many nights here himself....and he certainly preferred living sowhere enjoyable.
He already had a rough blueprint in mind. The small world was roughly a square in size.....not vast, but far from cramped....just right for what he envisioned.
He would transform it into a private estate, his own sanctuary. There would be a garden where Xiao Xun'er could stroll and relax, perhaps grow flowers to pass the ti.
He'd also set aside space for planting spiritual herbs and dicinal plants....both for her enjoynt and for her health.
He could even build a pond....perfect for fishing during idle afternoons.
But what Ye Chen wanted most was a hot spring.
He could already picture it: soaking in the steaming water alongside Xiao Xun'er, enjoying the warmth and relaxation together. It would also save the trouble of fetching water for every bath when they went outside.
A manor of this size.....roughly a perfect square...was spacious enough to house others as well. In the future, he could bring more of his won to live here, turning it into a true paradise.
Of course, for now, these ideas remained in his mind.
To bring them to life would require both ti and manpower....resources he didn't yet have. Until then, the plans would have to wait.
"Alright, Xun'er," Ye Chen said softly after she had eaten her fill, holding her delicate body in his arms, "if you need anything else, I'll bring it next ti."
He might not feel deep affection for Xiao Xun'er yet, but she was already his woman. As long as she behaved, Ye Chen would treat her well.
He had always been gentle toward his won.
Towards his won, Ye Chen always carried a certain sense of responsibility.
"Master, it's too lonely here… I want a companion," Xiao Xun'er suddenly said, her tone soft but earnest.
Ye Chen blinked in mild surprise. Although he had already arranged for Ling Ying to remain in the small world as her guard, Xiao Xun'er clearly didn't see him as suitable company.
After all, Ling Ying's body carried an eerie cold aura....one that could unsettle anyone, especially soone as sensitive as her. Staying with him for long periods would hardly be comforting.
"You want a companion?" Ye Chen repeated, a little taken aback. Then a smile tugged at his lips.
"That's easy. In the future, I'll bring you plenty of companions. You won't ever feel lonely again."
He was confident....his harem would only grow larger, and Xiao Xun'er would naturally have more than enough company.
At that mont, Ye Chen suddenly rembered sothing.
Back when Ya Fei was pregnant, the system had rewarded her with a sixth-tier magical beast.....the Purple Electric Marten. At the ti, he hadn't extracted it.
The interior of the manor back then had been too cramped, and he'd worried about causing unnecessary disturbances.
