"You, don't be like this, I'm afraid…" Han Qingyue swallowed the words that were about to come out.
Still not giving Qing Chen an excuse to pick a fight or make things difficult, she parted her lips slightly and took a small bite of the pastry.

'Twenty?!'
After confirming that the System deemed feeding his wife to have a higher Wife Pampering value, Qing Chen said joyfully, "Have some more."
Han Qingyue nodded, swallowed the pastry she had just eaten, and then leaned in to take another small bite.
Having made up her mind, she absolutely could not give Qing Chen a chance to rage; she would do whatever he asked her to do.

"Eat, there's plenty more. If it's not enough, I'll have the chefs at home make more."
Seeing that a Cultivation Technique Secret Manual had actually dropped, Qing Chen became even more excited, looking forward to Han Qingyue eating more.
One bite, one reward, it was simply too satisfying!
Han Qingyue said nothing more and obediently complied.
Seeing her finish one pastry, Qing Chen picked up another…

…
Gradually, the pastries that had originally been piled up like a small mountain were mostly eaten.
Qing Chen fed faster and faster, and Han Qingyue ate faster and faster.
When Qing Chen picked up another pastry, Han Qingyue's open mouth closed again, and she said with difficulty, "Sorry, I, I really can't eat anymore."
"It's fine, if you can't eat it now, eat it when you're hungry," Qing Chen had no intention of forcing Han Qingyue.
He had just put down the pastry, not forgetting to seize the opportunity to offer a cup of tea, "Did you choke? Here, drink some water."
Worried that Qing Chen would keep pouring water for her as before, Han Qingyue took the cup while stating, "Just one cup is enough."
"Alright."

Qing Chen didn't care; this kind of thing was suitable for the long game. He didn't plan to get fat in one bite and literally stuff Han Qingyue to death.
'After eating and drinking to my fill, what else can I do?'
Qing Chen pondered secretly.
While he was racking his brains to farm Wife Pampering rewards, thousands of miles away, deep within Da Mang Mountain, inside an unnamed Immortal Cave.
Boom!
A powerful wave of Qi erupted from the depths of the Immortal Cave, surging like a torrent, seemingly carrying the power to destroy the world, but upon reaching the Immortal Cave's entrance, it was erased by an even more powerful energy, revealing a barrier wall.
This was precisely where the protagonist Xiao Feng was in seclusion, signing in.
"Excellent, I've finally refined the Medicinal Pill I signed in for today. I didn't expect such a small Grade Five Medicinal Pill to actually allow my Cultivation to Breakthrough to the Soul Emergence Realm!"
"If this continues, I'm afraid it won't be long before I can step into the Quasi-Emperor Realm and attempt to prove the Dao to become an Emperor Realm!"
"By then, no one in this world will be able to rival me!"
"Father, little sister, wait for me. Once thirty years are up, I will definitely come out of seclusion to save you!"
Xiao Feng clenched his fists, his eyes filled with confidence and determination.
Besides his father and little sister, Xiao Feng's mind was not only filled with thoughts of revenge, but also a stunning figure.
Han Qingyue's beautiful face, capable of toppling nations, appeared in Xiao Feng's mind, as if right before his eyes.
"Han Qinyue, you must wait for me! Thirty years later, when I return with Emperor Realm Cultivation, I will definitely fulfill our childhood promise and marry you!"
Xiao Feng believed in Han Qingyue's feelings for him, thinking that she would surely hold on until his triumphant return.
He thought that with the dog Emperor's doting on Han Qingyue, he would surely not force her to marry someone she disliked.
After comforting himself in this way, Xiao Feng chose to continue Cultivating.
Besides Cultivating and sleeping, Xiao Feng had nothing else he could do. His range of activity was limited to this Immortal Cave; he was bound within it by a barrier and could not leave.
The System, at the moment of its binding, had forcibly required him to stay in this Immortal Cave and sign in for a full thirty years before he could leave seclusion.
The System's usage was simple: it refreshed one sign-in opportunity daily, and what rewards he signed in for depended entirely on luck; it would not wait if he missed it.
However, what Xiao Feng could never have imagined was that Han Qingyue was not only married, but was also lying on the same bed with Qing Chen at this moment.
To be precise, Han Qingyue was sitting cross-legged on the bed, while Qing Chen was behind her, rubbing her back and massaging her shoulders.

…
He truly had a blast farming rewards!
In contrast, Han Qingyue's body dared not relax in the slightest, remaining constantly tense, completely unable to understand what Qing Chen was trying to achieve with this series of actions.
He was taking off her shoes and covering her with a blanket, fetching water to wipe her face, personally feeding her, and now he was tirelessly massaging her back and shoulders.
So much so that a bold idea couldn't help but arise in Han Qingyue's mind: could it be that Qing Chen was tired of being a profligate Young Master and wanted to find an honest person to marry and settle down?
She couldn't be sure, and she didn't dare to ask Qing Chen.
She could only continue to cooperate with Qing Chen's antics…
Little did she know, she had unknowingly already become Qing Chen's tool for farming System rewards.
Qing Chen had a blast farming, but it put immense pressure on Han Qingyue; the tense string in her heart dared not loosen for a moment.
"Let's stop here for now." Qing Chen only then realized how terrible his body was before he recovered his memories, due to his predecessor's daily indulgence in wine and women.
After only farming for this short time, he was already so tired that he was breathing heavily.
He resolved that he must not neglect Cultivation in the future and must quickly make up for his depleted body.
After catching his breath and recovering slightly.
Qing Chen looked out the window; it was still early. So he asked Han Qingyue, "Madam, would you like to go out for a walk? To clear your mind?"
Qing Chen thought about it; even if he and Han Qingyue didn't have the reality of a husband and wife, they had the name, so calling her 'Madam' was fine.
'Madam…'
Hearing Qing Chen address her like that, Han Qingyue only felt strange and awkward.
"What about the bridal chamber…" she asked in a voice as soft as a mosquito's hum.
"I don't like to force people. Of course, if you are willing to enter the bridal chamber with me, we can start immediately."
Hearing this, Han Qingyue instinctively shifted her hips, moving a bit further away, "Thank you, Young Master Chen, please give Young Master a little more time!"
Qing Chen was not surprised by this and changed the topic, "It doesn't matter what you call me in private, but outside, it's best to call me husband. This can help you and me avoid a lot of trouble."
"Okay!" Han Qingyue nodded in agreement.
Regardless of whether Qing Chen was speaking truthfully, for Han Qingyue, every second she could drag it out was a second gained.
She hoped that changes would occur in the imperial court soon, for example, the Qing family collapsing and being overthrown.
She also hoped even more that her Brother Feng would return on auspicious colorful clouds as he had promised, to rescue her from her predicament.
