This is a bizarre rule, isn't it? It's supposed to grant me many children and good fortune

Chapter 477 Little Zhixia, you're number one at causing trouble!

Lin Feng stared wide-eyed, his Adam's apple bobbing involuntarily.

"So beautiful, so incredibly beautiful! How can my Ningning be so captivating?!"

Before he finished speaking, he reached out and pulled Xia Ning tightly into his arms, covering her lips with his.

As their lips met, the atmosphere heated up, and just as they were about to take things further—

Suddenly, "knock knock knock~"

A soft knock suddenly broke the ambiguous atmosphere in the room.

Xia Ning paused, a hint of annoyance flashing in her eyes. She then straightened the collar of her cheongsam and called out, "Who is it?"

The nanny's gentle voice came from outside the door:

"Mrs. Xia, it's me, Aunt Li. Xiao Zhixia suddenly woke up, crying for her parents, and we can't soothe her no matter what we do, you see..."

Xia Ning sighed helplessly, turned around and walked quickly to the wardrobe, picked up a loose silk coat and put it on, covering the allure of the cheongsam. She then walked quickly to the door and opened it.

Outside the door, the nanny was holding little Zhixia. The little one's eyes were red, her little mouth was pouting, and there were still tears on her face. When she saw Xia Ning, she immediately stretched out her little hand and cried out in her baby voice:

"Mommy...Mommy..."

Xia Ning's heart softened instantly. She quickly reached out and took Xiao Zhixia, gently patting her back and soothing her softly.

"Sweetie, don't cry, Mommy and Daddy are here."

She took the child from the nanny and nodded, "Thank you for your hard work. You can go and get some rest now."

The nanny acknowledged and left. Xia Ning, holding Xiao Zhixia, closed the door, turned to look at Lin Feng, who was still sitting on the edge of the bed, and smiled helplessly.

"Look, our little rascal is causing trouble again."

Lin Feng stood up, walked to her side, gently patted Xiao Zhixia's head, and looked at the little girl's still red eyes, softly saying:

"It's okay, let's both nudge her to sleep."

The three of them lay down on the bed.

Xiao Zhixia was placed in the middle, like a small, soft sandwich filling.

Lin Feng pulled the blanket over the little one gently, then turned to his side and began to softly tell a bedtime story:

"Once upon a time, there was a cute little rabbit. It had long ears and red eyes, and it followed its mother rabbit every day..."

Xiao Zhixia opened her big, round eyes. At first, she blinked occasionally, but as she listened, her gaze gradually became unfocused, and her long eyelashes trembled gently.

Not long after, she slowly closed her eyes, and her breathing became even.

Xia Ning carefully reached out, wanting to pick up Xiao Zhixia and take her to the children's room next door, so that she wouldn't wake up and disturb them again.

But as soon as she reached out to pick up the little one, Xiao Zhixia's eyelashes fluttered slightly, and the next second, her eyes snapped open, her little mouth pursed, and she was about to start crying again.

"Sweetie, don't cry, Mommy's just taking you to the nursery to sleep."

Xia Ning quickly coaxed her gently and put her back on the bed. Lin Feng continued to tell stories and finally managed to lull her to sleep again.

Just like last time, as soon as Xia Ning quietly picked up Xiao Zhixia, she immediately woke up, rubbing her sleepy eyes and chattering away.

This went on several times, and both Lin Feng and Xia Ning showed a hint of helplessness on their faces.

Lin Feng rubbed his temples: "How about we skip the long talk about life tonight and just rest and recuperate?"

Xia Ning wrinkled her nose, her tone carrying a hint of stubbornness:

"No way! I've already put on my battle armor, how can I not go into battle? I refuse to believe I can't handle this little devil!"

Lin Feng raised his eyebrows, didn't refute anymore, turned around and picked up a copy of "Walden" from the bedside table, and gently opened it.

This book has no dramatic plot twists; instead, it is filled with the tranquility and peace of the countryside, making it easy for readers to calm down and fall asleep.

Lin Feng read aloud in a deep, calm voice, word by word.

Sure enough, after reading for a short while, Xiao Zhixia yawned widely, then slowly closed her eyes, her little brows furrowing slightly.

This time, Xia Ning learned her lesson and didn't try to carry Xiao Zhixia to the children's room next door. Instead, she gently tugged at Lin Feng's arm and pointed towards the walk-in closet.

Lin Feng instantly understood, and the flame that had just been extinguished sprang back up. Before Xia Ning could react, he scooped her up in his arms.

As they entered the dressing room and the door closed gently, the two exchanged a knowing smile, a secret joy akin to a "successful prison break."

Xia Ning leaned against the door, her eyes alluring, and lowered her head to unbutton the buttons on her collar.

The moment her fingers touched the first button, Lin Feng grabbed her wrist.

"Don't take it off."

Xia Ning looked up, startled for a moment, and asked, "Huh?"

"What you're wearing," Lin Feng said in a low voice, his gaze sliding down the neckline of her cheongsam, adding slowly, "it feels better this way."

Xia Ning's ears turned red instantly.

She opened her mouth as if to say something, but Lin Feng had already kissed her...

Next, Lin Feng seemed to have stacked up the passive effect of Phantom Dance—

Attack speed +45%

Critical hit chance +25%

........................

The next morning, the morning light streamed through the restaurant's floor-to-ceiling windows, gently bathing the exquisite plates in a warm glow.

Lin Feng put down his chopsticks, picked up a napkin to wipe his mouth, and looked at everyone:

"I don't have much to do this morning, so I plan to go to Jingjing Ghost School to see Yuanbao."

Of course, he also asked Wan'er to ask the old professor for the prescription. He didn't say this aloud.

"In the last dungeon, I was so grateful for its help. I promised it that I would visit it after I cleared the dungeon and bring it lots of good food."

Leng Meng put down her cutlery and asked curiously, "Honey, did you summon it using a summoning spell?"

Lin Feng nodded slightly: "That's right."

A hint of surprise flashed in Leng Meng's eyes: "The summoning spell can actually summon an SS-level being, then we really need to cultivate a good relationship with it."

Lin Feng nodded, then looked at Su Wan:

"Then Wan'er, come with me. After all, you used to be a counselor at Qingjing Gui School, so you know the place well."

Wasim and Evelyn exchanged a glance, then spoke up:

"We're going too. We fought against the Lord of Laughter with Yuanbao before, and we also walked around the Silent Temple side by side. It's like a good friend of ours."

"Okay." Lin Feng nodded readily.

Seeing this, Xia Ning quickly added, "I also interacted with Yuanbao at the Silent Realm Temple, so I'll go too."

Su Wan gently shook her head and advised:

"There's no need for so many people to go, and Xiao Zhixia and Xiao Cheche both need someone to take care of them."

"Now that we're both not pregnant, we're all free of worries. Ningning, you can stay home and take care of the two kids."

Lin Feng nodded in agreement:

"Wan'er is right. Someone has to stay at home. With you taking care of the children, we can feel more at ease."

A slight disappointment flashed across Xia Ning's face, but she knew there was some truth to it. She pursed her lips and said nothing more.

Leng Meng suddenly remembered something and gave Lin Feng another instruction:

"Honey, remember what I said yesterday: if someone makes an unreasonable request of you, you can refuse it directly."

Su Wan's forehead immediately creased with annoyance:

"No, Mengmeng, are you saying you're treating me like a thief?"

Leng Meng raised an eyebrow, her tone slightly teasing:

"Only someone with a guilty conscience would react this strongly. If you have nothing to hide, why bother?"

Su Wan rolled her eyes: "Don't worry, I wouldn't take advantage of a situation (yeah right!), Vassim and Evelyn can both testify!"

Wasim and Evelyn exchanged a glance, a hint of embarrassment flashing across their faces.

Lin Feng stood up: "Then I'll go prepare the supplies for Yuanbao first, and we'll set off in half an hour."
