Holding a child-bearing system, seducing all the handsome male cultivators in the wilderness

Li Wanji reached out her hand, gently patted Tu Shanyi's shoulder, and said softly: "Xiao Yi, come to my room tonight, I have something to tell you."

When Tu Shanyi heard Li Wanji's invitation, he suddenly felt an inexplicable emotion in his heart. He was both looking forward to being alone with her and afraid that he would not be able to control his emotions.

He nodded slightly and whispered, "Okay, I...I'll go."

When Li Wanji saw that he agreed, she felt relieved and a gentle smile appeared on her face.

At this time, Mo Yunting had returned. Seeing that everyone was seated, Ye Wushang cleared his throat and began to talk about business.

"Brother Mo, how many people have been sent away from the Spirit Realm?"

Ye Wushang was referring to the more than one hundred hostages who were rescued in the Misty Swamp last time.

After Li Wanji placed them in the secret mobile space [Sheltered Wharf], she temporarily set up a separate entrance and exit and told Mo Yunting the mantra, making it convenient for him to enter and exit and treat the injuries of everyone.

Mo Yunting nodded slightly when he heard this and said, "Master Ye, we have sent more than 70 people away so far. Their injuries have stabilized. We have contacted the tribesmen to take them away smoothly."

"The remaining thirty or so people are seriously injured and need to recuperate for a while. After all, their injuries require special elixirs and meticulous care to gradually recover."

Ye Wushang nodded and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Brother Mo."

Mo Yunting waved his hand and said, "It's okay. Doctors are kind-hearted. It is our duty to treat the wounded."

Ye Wushang nodded slightly, then turned to Hongdie and said, "Miss Hongdie, what are the allied forces in our base now?"

Hongdie smiled and said, "Master Ye, thanks to the last battle in the Misty Swamp, we sent the rescued hostages back to their respective tribes safely. Not only did we win their gratitude and trust, we also successfully attracted the intention of the eighteen forces to form an alliance."

"Among them, there are some powerful tribes, such as the Nine-tailed Fox Tribe, the Candle Dragon Tribe, the Kunpeng Tribe, and the Black Turtle Tribe. In addition, I have also started to contact the Bai Ze Tribe that Master Wen introduced last time, and the progress is going smoothly."

"Eighteen?" When Ye Wushang heard this number, a hint of satisfaction flashed in his eyes.

Winning over allied forces is one of the tasks that must be accomplished by the strongholds in each city of the Wangchuan Alliance. The target given by the higher-ups was only five, but now Hongdie has managed to win over eighteen forces, which has far exceeded expectations.

Ye Wushang looked at Hongdie with appreciation and said, "Miss Hongdie is really capable. It seems that she will be rewarded by the River Lord when she returns this time."

Hearing this, Hongdie said modestly: "Master Ye, you are too kind. This is all thanks to everyone. Hongdie just did her part."

Ye Wushang nodded, then looked at the others and said, "Next, our task is to continue to expand our sphere of influence while strengthening the defense of our stronghold."

"Lord Jiuluo has sent a message that the evil spirits in Youdu Mountain have begun to take action. We must be prepared to deal with their attacks at any time."

Upon hearing this, everyone looked solemn and expressed that they would do their best to live up to the trust.

Seeing this, Ye Wushang was satisfied, so he waved his hand and said, "Okay, everyone go and rest first. I will arrange the next task in detail later."

Everyone stood up and said goodbye, and went their separate ways.

As night fell in the underworld, Tu Shanyi arrived as promised.

He stood in front of Li Wanji's door, hesitated for a moment, and then mustered up the courage to knock on the door.

"Come in." Li Wanji's gentle voice came from the room.

Tu Shanyi pushed the door open and saw Li Wanji sitting at the table, holding a cup of hot tea in her hand and looking at him with a smile.

"Wan Ji." Tu Shanyi called softly, with an inexplicable emotion welling up in his heart.

Li Wanji put down the teacup, stood up, walked to Tu Shanyi, and said softly: "Xiaoyi, you are here."

Tu Shanyi nodded, but didn't know what to say.

Seeing this, Li Wanji chuckled and said, "Why are you so reserved today? Where is your usual carefree spirit?"

Tu Shanyi heard this and smiled bitterly, saying, "Wan Ji is now the wife of Jiuluo River Lord, so I naturally dare not be as presumptuous as before."

"Xiao Yi, do you really want to be so distant with me?" Li Wanji frowned slightly and asked in a disappointed tone.

Seeing this, Tu Shanyi's heart tightened and he quickly said, "I... I didn't mean that, I just..."

He hesitated but couldn't explain clearly.

Li Wanji grabbed Tu Shanyi's hand and was about to take him to the inner room. She said softly, "Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Since you are here tonight, just accompany me and have a good chat."

Tu Shanyi's body stiffened, and he held Li Wanji's hand and whispered, "Wanji, what are you going to do?"

"Xiao Yi, why are you so nervous? Am I that scary?" Li Wanji's tone was a little teasing. She gently patted the back of Tu Shanyi's hand, signaling him to relax.

Tu Shanyi suddenly remembered what Wen Daochen said yesterday. The piercing pain in his heart had not subsided yet. He took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.

"Wan Ji, you misunderstood. I'm not afraid of you, but... our identities are different now, so it's better to keep some distance."

"Is it because Jiuluo Nanxing is my Taoist partner?"

Li Wanji's frankness made Tu Shanyi slightly stunned.

He let go of Li Wanji's hand, turned and walked to the window, looked at the dark lights outside the window, and said faintly: "Yes, but not entirely."

"Wan Ji, when we first got together, you told me that you had many Taoist companions, and I said I didn't mind. However, now I begin to realize that the complexity and subtlety of this matter far exceeds my original imagination."

"Your relationship with the Lord of Jiuluo River is more than just a couple. He is the Lord of Wangchuan River, but he regards you as his wife and loves you so much;"

"Then there is Master Wen. He is a music practitioner who is independent from the world, but he has deep feelings for you. He is willing to be your cauldron and practice with you to help you achieve great success..."

It has only been two days since they last met, but Tu Shanyi can already sense that Li Wanji's cultivation has improved. He is afraid that Wen Daochen has made an indispensable contribution to this.

Thinking of them practicing dual cultivation together in such an indescribable manner, Tu Shanyi felt an indescribable bitterness in his heart.

Before, whenever he and Li Wanji were about to get into the swing of things, Li Wanji would stop abruptly for various reasons, either because she was tired or had other reasons. It seemed that she was just treating him as a toy for entertainment.

Realizing this, Tu Shanyi felt like a joke, and an indescribable sadness surged in his heart.

He took a deep breath and continued, "I'm not jealous of them, nor am I ashamed of myself. I just... I just feel that my position in your heart doesn't seem to be that important."

"Xiao Yi, tell me, did Wen Daochen say anything to you?"

Li Wanji couldn't help feeling an inexplicable irritation when she heard Tu Shanyi analyzing their relationship with self-pity.

Willing to be a furnace? What a mess! I'm afraid Wen Daochen doesn't have this kind of awareness, and Tu Shanyi himself is thinking in the wrong way.

Besides, Li Wanji is not an evil cultivator, so where does the term "furnace and cauldron" come from?
