In a high-level martial arts game, a wife is given to you at the start.

Chapter 005 Starting Tonight

After introducing Bai Muxi to his parents, Lin Qiye decided to have a meal with his parents, his three younger sisters and brothers the next day.

Then, they immediately moved into their new home and began living as a couple.

The suggestion to forgo a wedding and keep everything simple was made by Bai Muxi herself.

"My parents have long been disappointed in me, especially since I rejected their arrangements, chose to continue my path of martial arts, and chose a farm manager as my partner. They have made it clear that they will no longer care about me. So, the meeting can be skipped."

This is Bai Muxi's version of events.

Lin Qiye nodded inwardly.

This is better, saving a lot of unnecessary trouble and social obligations.

He had no interest in those complicated interpersonal relationships.

Now that he has the system, his goal is clearer: to complete the "many children, many blessings" mission.

Having as many children as possible is a good thing.

……

The next day, Lin Qiye and Bai Muxi, along with their parents and their three younger siblings who were still in school, had a simple "family dinner" at a restaurant in the commercial street of the residential area.

The atmosphere at the dinner table was somewhat somber. Mr. and Mrs. Lin's smiles were a little stiff, while their younger siblings curiously observed the suddenly appearing "Seventh Sister-in-law".

After the meal, Lin Qiye and Bai Muxi went directly to the resettlement house allocated by the government—Building B, Room 1314, Xiangyang Garden, Grain District 16.

This is a standard two-bedroom, one-living room apartment, approximately 50 square meters, with simple decoration and standard furniture and appliances.

For young people who have just started a family, this is already a good starting point.

Most importantly, the government's public rental housing only costs 800 credits per month.

Bai Muxi took the initiative to choose the smaller bedroom, saying that the larger one would be reserved for other uses.

Lin Qiye knew she wanted to convert the master bedroom into a training room, and he didn't object.

After quickly packing my luggage, it gradually got dark.

After a simple dinner, the two finished washing up.

There is only one double bed in the apartment, in the master bedroom.

When Bai Muxi walked out of the bathroom wearing a slightly loose silk nightgown and with her hair still wet, she saw Lin Qiye already sitting on the edge of the bed, and her steps clearly paused.

Under the light, a shy blush appeared on her cheeks, unlike her usual cold and resolute demeanor.

Although he had prepared himself mentally and even acted with great decisiveness during the negotiations, when the moment actually came, a 28-year-old aspiring martial artist who had never been in a romantic relationship could not help but feel nervous and uneasy.

She lowered her head, her hands unconsciously twisting the hem of her clothes, her voice barely audible: "Um... I..."

Lin Qiye looked at her; this woman, who was so resilient and decisive in front of outsiders, was now like a frightened little rabbit.

It would be a lie to say Lin Qiye wasn't nervous, after all, such a beautiful woman was an unattainable dream girl in his previous life.

In this life, she was able to become his partner largely because of the heavy debt she carried and her request to continue her spiritual practice.

Lin Qiye needed a potential martial arts partner who was willing to have children until he couldn't have any more.

The two sides are a perfect match.

This was a mutually beneficial transaction, but the stakes were perfectly balanced.

He looked at Bai Muxi's unusually shy expression. Under the light, her wet black hair clung to her smooth forehead, and her silk pajamas outlined her beautiful figure. The air was filled with the fragrance of her bath.

Lin Qiye took a deep breath, suppressing the pounding in his heart, and tried his best to make his voice sound calm and natural.

"It's late, let's go to sleep..."

After he finished speaking, he realized that his words were somewhat dry and even carried a hint of barely perceptible tension.

Upon hearing this, Bai Muxi trembled slightly, raised her head, and gave him a complicated look.

"Mmm," she responded softly, her voice still very low.

The atmosphere in the room became more subtle because of this simple conversation.

The virtual night view outside the window was still dazzling, but at this moment, neither of them was paying attention to it.

Lin Qiye lifted a corner of the blanket first and lay down, trying to stay on the outside of the bed to leave enough space.

Bai Muxi hesitated for a few seconds, then slowly walked to the bedside, gently lifted the blanket on the other side, and carefully lay down.

Even though there was some distance between them, they could clearly feel each other's breathing and heartbeat.

Silence spread through the room.

Lin Qiye could feel Bai Muxi's stiffness and the slight sweat seeping from his own palms.

He knew the agreement would take effect that night.

He needs children, she needs resources.

"Um..." Lin Qiye cleared his throat, breaking the silence. His voice was slightly hoarse than before. "Let's... get some rest. I have to report to the farm tomorrow."

He tried to say something to ease the tension, but it didn't seem to work; instead, it made him seem even more deliberate.

Bai Muxi didn't speak, but her body seemed to stiffen even more.

Lin Qiye closed his eyes, but his mind involuntarily recalled Bai Muxi's decisiveness during the negotiations during the day, which contrasted sharply with her shyness at this moment.

He knew that for a proud and ambitious aspiring martial artist, making such a choice would inevitably involve inner struggle and pain.

As a transmigrator, I too embarked on an unknown path in pursuit of that elusive system mission.

After a long while, just when Lin Qiye thought Bai Muxi had fallen asleep, he heard her low voice beside him, trembling slightly and with a resigned resolve: "Lin Qiye...you...didn't you say it would start tonight?"

Lin Qiye suddenly opened his eyes and turned his head.

In the dim light, he saw Bai Muxi looking at him from the side. Her beautiful eyes shimmered with a complex light in the darkness, a mixture of shyness, unease, and a hint of reckless courage.

She bit her lower lip, as if she had used all her strength to say those words.

Lin Qiye's heart skipped a beat when he saw her shy expression.
