Chapter 1210: A Large Family with Many Children and Abundant Blessings

Lin Lang's fingertips traced the warm fur of the Enlightened Beast, his mental power carrying a smile as it entered its consciousness. He turned to look at Ma Yili, whose legs were still a little weak, his tone gentle yet carrying an undeniable certainty.

"If my beloved concubine is afraid, let's travel back home right now."

"These crabapple fruits are rich in spiritual energy. If the children eat them, they will not only be nourished and gain the extraordinary ability to control water, but they will also be imbued with some of the divine essence of Kunlun. It's a good idea to pick some and take them back for them to try."

"Wow!" Han Jae-in's eyes instantly lit up as if they were filled with starlight, and the shock she had just felt was completely dispelled by the sudden surprise.

Her voice was full of excitement, "So the crabapple can be brought back to the modern world? I thought this Kunlun fairy fruit could only be eaten in the secret realm!"

“Of course.” Lin Lang reached out and picked a plump crabapple from a branch above his head. The bright red skin gleamed in the morning light.

"Although the sand crabapple grows in the Kunlun Secret Realm, it is not a 'divine object that cannot be descended to the mortal world.' However, the spiritual energy in the mortal world is thin, so it must be eaten as soon as possible after being picked in order to preserve its spiritual energy."

Lin Lang weighed the fairy fruit in his hand, his smile deepening. "Pick more, the children will definitely love it."

"Great!" Zhou Mengyao couldn't contain herself any longer, her eyes scanning the low branches. "I'll pick these that I can reach!"

She tiptoed and reached out to grab a bunch of crabapples hanging low. Carefully grasping the stem, she gently twisted it, and the bright red fruit fell into her palm, its sweet fragrance instantly filling her nostrils.

Zhou Mengyao smiled like a child who had received candy, her eyes crinkling as she picked the fruit, muttering, "If the children of our Lin family knew there were such delicious fairy fruits, they would definitely fight over them."

Ma Yili also recovered from her earlier fear. The trembling in her fingertips gradually subsided. She reached out and picked a crabapple. It was warm and smooth to the touch, with a sweet and refreshing aroma. The lingering fear in her heart completely dissipated, leaving only thoughts of her daughter.

"Yes! Wei'er loves sweets the most. These crabapples are so sweet and fragrant, the little one will definitely love them and won't be able to stop eating them."

The Wei'er that Ma Yili mentioned is Lin Zhiwei, the daughter she gave birth to for Lin Lang, who is now two and a half years old.

Looking at the branches laden with the magical fruits, Han Jae-in joined in picking them.

She moved gently, afraid of damaging the delicate fruit, and said as she picked it, "Nuan'er is weak and prone to colds. Eating this fairy fruit containing spiritual energy might make her stronger."

The Nuan'er that Han Jae-in mentioned is Lin Zhi-nuan, her second daughter, whom she gave birth to for Lin Lang in 2005. She is now one and a half years old.

In no time, the three women had picked all the crabapples from the low branches, leaving only the bright red crabapples high up on the tree, which were inaccessible without a ladder.

They held up a pile of tiny rubies, the fruity fragrance filling the air, growing ever stronger.

Lin Lang watched his three wives and concubines bustling about, his eyes filled with doting affection. He handed the remaining crabapple to the Enlightened Beast.

The nine heads of the Enlightened Beast lowered in unison. One of its heads carefully opened its mouth, took the crabapple into its mouth, and began to chew it slowly, making a satisfied whimper in its throat. Its originally docile eyes now held a hint of gratitude.

"Alright, after you've eaten the crabapple, go back to your mission of guarding Kunlun Hill and protecting the peace of this secret realm." Lin Lang's tone was calm yet carried a hint of authority.

The Enlightened Beast seemed to understand his words, and all nine of its heads nodded in unison, letting out a low and respectful roar, as if responding to Lin Lang's command.

It slowly stood up, its massive body no longer exuding any ferocity, but instead revealing a kind of gentle and docile nature.

It wagged its tail at Lin Lang again, then turned around and walked steadily into the depths of the forest.

Nine heads were slightly raised, the tiger's body stood tall, and it gradually disappeared into the dense forest, leaving only a receding figure and the occasional low roar, as if announcing its return to this secret realm.

After the Enlightened Beast completely disappeared, Lin Lang withdrew his gaze, looked at the sand crabapples held in the hands of his three wives and concubines, and said with a smile, "You've picked most of them. Leave the rest on the higher parts to me."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Lang used his telekinetic superpower. The invisible psychic force, like a giant net, enveloped the entire ancient sand pear tree.

The unripe crabapples on the tree, which had not yet been picked, seemed to be drawn by an invisible force, falling from the branches one after another, gathering in the air into a crimson torrent that flew towards Lin Lang.

Han Zaiyin, Zhou Mengyao, and Ma Yili were dumbfounded as the crabapple fruits fell neatly into the void in front of Lin Lang and were collected by his invisible personal space.

In no time, all the ripe fruit on the entire crabapple tree was picked clean, and the bright red fruits that had hung all over the branches disappeared, leaving only lush golden leaves swaying in the wind.

Lin Lang withdrew his spiritual power and gestured with his chin towards his three wives and concubines: "Alright, the immortal fruits are all stored away. Let's go home now!"

The three nodded quickly, their faces full of anticipation.

Lin Lang reached out and hugged his three concubines, feeling a reassuring strength coming from his warm palms.

He closed his eyes, silently reciting the timeline of September 2006 and the coordinates of the Lin family villa in Shanghai. After triggering the [Space-Time Mass Teleportation] skill, a faint golden halo appeared around him, instantly transforming into a dazzling pillar of light that enveloped the four of them.

After a strong spatial fluctuation, the beam of light suddenly contracted, and the four figures vanished into thin air in the morning light of Kunlun Hill.

All that remained were the ancient crabapple trees swaying in the wind and the lingering sweet fragrance of fruit in the air, as if everything that had just happened was merely a dreamlike encounter.

"call out……"

The next second, Lin Lang appeared in the lobby of the Lin family villa with his three wives and concubines.

The familiar European-style crystal chandelier cast a warm glow, soft carpets covered the floor, and a faint smell of disinfectant filled the air (probably from the housekeeper's cleaning). It was quite different from the fresh and ethereal atmosphere of Kunlun Secret Realm, but it exuded a down-to-earth and warm feeling.

"Wow, we're really back!" Zhou Mengyao was the first to let go of Lin Lang, looking around curiously. "It feels like a dream. Just a moment ago we were facing monsters on Kunlun Mountain, and now we're home."

Han Jae-in took a deep breath, feeling the familiar warmth of home, and her tense nerves completely relaxed. She smiled and said, "Home is still the safest place. I was really scared just now."

Ma Yili's face showed a look of relief after surviving the ordeal: "Luckily, my husband is amazing, otherwise we would have been in danger today."

Lin Lang smiled and was about to speak when he heard a burst of cheerful laughter coming from the center of the living room.

Lin Lang looked in the direction of the sound and saw a group of children playing happily on the carpet.

Because it was across time, Lin Lang was pleasantly surprised to see his children again at the end of September 2006. They had all grown up a lot since the last time they met.

If it weren't for the system prompts, Lin Lang really wouldn't have been able to tell what the names of all these children were.

Lin Lang and Wang Yuyan's eldest daughter, Wang Ailin, is now five and a half years old. She is wearing a white summer dress and sandals in the autumn season, but she is not cold at all. It is obvious that she has awakened the passive skill of [Cold Resistance Enhancement].

Ma Yili and Lin Lang's daughter, Lin Zhiwei, is holding a Tyrannosaurus Rex model. At just two and a half years old, she is wearing pajamas and home clothes. Her adorable little face stands in the middle, like the beloved little darling of her older siblings.

Five-year-old Lin Zhiruo, the daughter of Han Zaiyin and Lin Lang, was wearing a pink princess dress and holding a Triceratops model. She was carefully "dodging" Xiao Zhiwei's Tyrannosaurus Rex attack.

There were also five-year-old Lin Zhiming and Lin Zhihan, the daughters of Gu Keqing, Guan Tingmei, and Lin Lang, respectively. They had grown up considerably but still looked very young, holding dinosaur models and having a great time.

Ma Xiaofei and Lin Lang's son, Lin Haoyuan, is now 2 years and 9 months old. The little guy held a small pterosaur model high in his hand and shouted in his baby voice, "Fly! Fly!"

Tong Lei and Lin Lang's daughter, Lin Zhixi, is 3 years and 5 months old. The little one is like a little angel, floating in mid-air using her telekinetic flight skill, holding a Stegosaurus model in her hand.

Chu Xia and Lin Lang's son, Lin Haozhe, is now 3 years old. The little guy is dressed as a superhero, holding a velociraptor model in his hand, imitating the dinosaur's roaring expression. He looks cute and fierce.

It is worth mentioning that the children playing in the lobby on the first floor of the Lin family villa are only some of Lin Lang's children; the other half of the children live with their mother in the Tang Dynasty's Shanghai Imperial Mansion.

The little ones held various dinosaur models in their hands, chattering away as they played "Dinosaur Battle," their cheerful laughter ringing out from time to time.

The so-called "Dinosaur Battle" is actually just children playing house with their own dinosaur models.

A group of Lin Lang's children were so engrossed in their own little world that they didn't even notice when their parents returned.

"Look at the little ones, how happy they are playing." Han Zaiyin looked at her daughter Lin Zhiruo's serious little face, her eyes full of tenderness, and she softened her voice, afraid of disturbing the children.

Ma Yili walked to Xiao Zhiwei's side, squatted down, and gently poked her daughter's little cheek: "Wei'er, Mommy is back. Did you miss Mommy?"

Little Zhiwei raised her head, blinked her adorable big eyes at Ma Yili, her eyes lit up, and she immediately threw herself into her arms, calling out in a soft, sweet voice, "Mommy! Wei'er missed Mommy!"

Ma Yili fed the crabapple in her hand to her daughter and coaxed her gently, "Eat up, sweetie, this is a fairy fruit, it's so sweet!"

Xiao Zhiwei took a bite of the crabapple, chewed it gently, and her eyes lit up. "Wow, it's so sweet! This red fruit is really delicious!"

Seeing her daughter eating with relish, Ma Yili smiled sweetly with her eyes narrowed, she couldn't be happier.

Cai Yinong and Lin Lang's daughter, Lin Zhiyan, is now five years old.

She leaned forward greedily, blinking her big, dark eyes at Ma Yili, and said sweetly, "Aunt Ma, I want to eat too."

"Hehe..." Ma Yili smiled and handed Xiao Zhiyan a crabapple, saying gently, "Eat it, Yan'er, where's your mother?"

Xiao Zhiyan took the bright red crabapple, eagerly put it in her mouth and took a bite, then said with a sweet, indistinct smile, "My mother went to the Sugar Man Film Company. It seems that Aunt Huo's new movie is starting filming today."

Huo Siyan and Lin Lang's son, Lin Haochen, immediately put down the plesiosaur model he was holding, eagerly leaned forward, and asked while licking his lips, "Aunt Ma, what kind of fruit is this? Is it delicious?"

"It's delicious! So sweet. Here, Chen'er, have one to try." Ma Yili handed Xiao Haochen a crabapple.

"Thank you, Aunt Ma!" Little Hao Chen took the crabapple with his chubby little hands, examined it curiously for a moment, and then opened his little mouth and took a big bite.

"Wow! It's so sweet and delicious!" Xiao Haochen had never eaten such a sweet and soft fruit before, and he was amazed by the taste of the Sand Crab Fairy Fruit.

Five-year-old Lin Zhiqing, holding a duckbill dinosaur model, rushed over to Zhou Mengyao upon seeing her, hugged her leg, and said in a childish voice, "Mommy, I missed you too!"

Zhou Mengyao picked up her daughter and kissed her chubby cheeks. Then she held a crabapple to her daughter's lips and coaxed, "Eat it, Qing'er. After you finish this sweet red fruit, you won't need to learn to swim anymore, and you won't drown!"

"Really!" Xiao Zhiqing clapped her hands and took a bite of the crabapple.

The sweet taste is so refreshing it's almost divine. One bite and it's so delicious it'll make your eyebrows fall off. Xiao Zhiqing ate it with juice dripping from the corners of her mouth, it was so good she couldn't stop.

Lin Haoyi, the twin brother of Xiao Zhiqing, looked up and saw Zhou Mengyao and Lin Lang returning. He immediately ran over and hugged Lin Lang's leg, calling out with a sweet, childish smile, "Father!"
