Chapter 48: The Adorable Purple Lightning Ferret
"Dou Zun expert?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Feng furrowed his brows slightly, his expression turning somewhat solemn.
With his current strength, he was unable to contend with a Dou Zun expert. Despite the concealment provided by the small world, Chen Feng was confident that Xiao Xun'er wouldn't expose herself.
But Chen Feng had always sought stability. In case even a trace of suspicion arose, it could lead to irreparable consequences. He wasn't sure about the methods of the Dou Zun expert or the Ancient Clan's capabilities. He couldn't guarantee the Ancient Clan wouldn't trace him.
"Ling Ying, approximately when does this Dou Zun expert usually come each year?"
Chen Feng hoped for enough time to prepare for the possible confrontation.
"Master, according to Miss, the Dou Zun expert came about two months ago this year."
Ling Ying replied.
"Oh?"
A faint trace of delight flashed across Chen Feng's face. If the expert had already visited this year, it meant there'd likely be no further visits from the Ancient Clan for the rest of the year. This provided Chen Feng with a whole year to prepare.
However, this realization also made him feel a sense of urgency. Only having less than a year left, he had to make the most of his time. To confront the Ancient Clan, he could only rely on the power of the system and strive to have more children.
He was greatly anticipating the rewards the system might offer upon the birth of each child. Just the rewards for pregnancy were extravagant; he could only imagine what the rewards for childbirth might be.
With this in mind, Chen Feng couldn't help but think of gathering all the goddesses mentioned in the original work into his harem.
The little medicinal fairy from Qing Shan Town.
The Qing Lin from Stone Desert City.
The Medusa from the Snake-People Tribe.
And...
Xiao Feng's thoughts wandered. With little time left, he needed to act swiftly.
After a while, Chen Feng returned to the small world, bringing along a bucket of hot water and some delicious food.
"Xun'er, wake up, take a bath, and have something to eat."
Chen Feng woke the sleeping Xiao Xun'er. Perhaps having truly given up, Xiao Xun'er's state had improved considerably.
Disregarding Chen Feng's presence, she directly presented an alluring scene of bathing.
Chen Feng enjoyed watching and didn't forget to activate the crystal recorder to capture this beautiful moment.
Perhaps due to exhaustion, Xiao Xun'er was genuinely hungry. She ate quite a lot of the food Chen Feng had brought.
Seeing Xiao Xun'er finally stabilize, Chen Feng felt relieved. As long as Xiao Xun'er didn't seek death, things would be easier moving forward.
He would just have to work a bit harder to ensure Xiao Xun'er conceived sooner.
Thinking about this, Chen Feng glanced around the small world. He felt it was time to make some changes. Once Xiao Xun'er was pregnant, he planned to let her stay here comfortably. However, the current environment was insufficient for nurturing a child. It needed significant improvements.
Xiao Xun'er came from a noble background, and the poor environment and prolonged stay in this confined space might affect her mental state, potentially affecting the pregnancy. So, Chen Feng decided to transform the place into a comfortable abode.
He envisioned creating a garden where Xiao Xun'er could relax and tend to flowers, perhaps planting some spiritual herbs for their benefits. A pond for fishing, and most of all, a hot spring for relaxation.
The current space was only the size of a courtyard. Chen Feng intended to turn it into his private estate, which could accommodate more women in the future.
However, these were merely Chen Feng's thoughts for now. Implementing them would require time and manpower. He needed to wait until he had enough manpower before making these changes.
"Xun'er, is there anything else you need? I'll bring it next time."
After Xiao Xun'er finished eating, Chen Feng embraced her soft body, asking gently. Though he didn't have much affection for her yet, she was already his woman. As long as Xiao Xun'er behaved, Chen Feng would treat her well. He was always gentle with his women.
"Master, it's too lonely here. I want a companion."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Xun'er hesitated for a moment before making her request. Although Chen Feng had stationed Ling Ying to protect Xiao Xun'er, she was apprehensive of staying with the current icy-cold Ling Ying.
"A companion?"
Chen Feng was momentarily surprised but then smiled faintly. "That's easy. Master will bring you many companions in the future."
He knew his number of women would increase, ensuring Xiao Xun'er wouldn't be lonely.
Then, Chen Feng remembered the reward from the system when Empress Ya was pregnant: a sixth-rank magical beast, the Purple Lightning Ferret, which he hadn't summoned earlier due to certain inconveniences. Considering Xiao Xun'er's boredom, he decided to keep the Purple Lightning Ferret here as a pet for her.
Thinking so, Chen Feng mentally instructed the system, "System, summon the Purple Lightning Ferret."
In the next moment, a small, adorable purple figure appeared in Chen Feng's arms, emitting a radiant purple glow.
"Quite cute," Chen Feng chuckled, observing the purple ferret with its shiny purple fur and big, lively eyes that sparkled with every blink.
"Master?"
Suddenly, the ferret spoke.
Its voice was crisp with a hint of childishness, resembling that of a seven or eight-year-old girl. But despite its not-so-high intelligence, Chen Feng found it endearing.
"Seems not too bright," Chen Feng smirked, nodding amiably at the Purple Lightning Ferret.
"Master, master, master!"
Energized by Chen Feng's response, the little creature rolled around in his hands, its large eyes filled with excitement and curiosity.
On the sidelines, Xiao Xun'er, watching Chen Feng holding the Purple Lightning Ferret, widened her beautiful eyes in astonishment. But witnessing the adorable display, her eyes gradually shimmered with a different light.
