"Don’t worry, don’t worry, I’m not a deity, not a demon, just an ordinary person with flesh and blood like you. I won’t ascend to the heavens, nor will I suddenly disappear. Really, as long as you don’t mind me, we’ll live as a loving couple for life," Shuzhen said soothingly, gently patting Lianshan’s hand. "Then... how did you manage to make the cotton sprout grow so big in an instant earlier, nearly strangling Wu Xia? And after releasing her, why did those cotton plants return to normal?" Please forgive a genuinely innocent guy who’s never encountered the information explosion era and never heard of online novels. Lianshan really hadn’t heard of supernatural abilities. In his younger days, he did hear his mom tell many stories about deities, about how they could create armies from beans and turn stone into gold with divine methods. So, watching Shuzhen silently control those cotton plants, he couldn’t help but envision her as a deity. Hearing his wife say she wasn’t a deity or a demon, but just an ordinary person like him, Lianshan genuinely breathed a sigh of relief. The reason being, after hearing so many mythological stories, he had never heard of a cross-species romance involving deities or human-demon falling in love that ended happily. Half his worries calmed, he began to grow curious about his wife’s mysterious methods that resembled those of deities. Since she had decided to be honest, Shuzhen didn’t hide anything further. From that day picking vegetables in the garden, when she lamented that the tiny cucumber was too small, only for it to suddenly grow into a foot-long spiky cucumber. She shared how she discovered her superpower and gradually learned to use and control it, sharing everything in detail. Except for the fact that she was reborn, she didn’t hide anything else. Of course, during this time, she often expressed her confusion and anxiety, trying every method to support the family, wishing both her in-laws and family could enjoy three meals a day and live well. Despite all the efforts, she merely managed to accelerate the ripening of some dried eggplants and green beans, and created a mushroom circle that brought some profits. Her greatest achievement was domesticating wild wood ear mushrooms, and under the pretense of gathering grain, she managed to stash away some in a vegetable cellar, utterly wasting such a powerful superpower. Fortunately, she would soon be the team leader of the Liu family village production team, and she could optimize the seeds under the guise of inspections. With good seeds, there would be strong seedlings, leading to a good harvest, ensuring no one in the Liu family village production team would go hungry again. Compared to his wife’s ambitious goals, Lianshan was more concerned: "Since you say this superpower is activated through your spiritual power, would excessive use harm your body?" "No, no, I always gauge my limits. I’ve never felt uncomfortable, and my ability actually gets stronger with practice. Like initially, I needed to touch plants or fungi to activate it, but now I can do it within a ten-meter range," Shuzhen cleverly concealed the side effects of overusing her power which left her pale and with a stabbing headache, to prevent Lianshan from opposing or forbidding her from using her powers. It’s similar to when she used her abilities to nearly strangle Wu Xia. Pale face, trembling body, not from being scared by Wu Xia, but the aftereffects of overusing her powers! Using a flower pot she kept indoors to secretly accelerate the growth of crops, allowing her man to witness with his own eyes the process of "digging a hole, burying the soil, counting one, two, three, four, five, and a sapling sprouting and maturing before your eyes." Shuzhen then listened to Lianshan solemnly say, "Wife, promise me, never use your abilities in front of others again. Don’t let anyone see it or attempt to use it to help others gain wealth. This will be a secret just for the two of us, okay?" "But, big brother, second brother, Hai Zi, and Xiao Yue, they’re not outsiders..." "But they have their own families, their own wives and husbands, in-laws, and parents. Sometimes, trouble doesn’t come from ill intent. We now have earthworm farming and can cultivate wood ear mushrooms, so life is much better than before. There’s no need for you to risk exposing yourself to help; it’s a man’s duty to support the family and ensure their wife and children live well." Lianshan frowned, adamantly interrupting his wife’s argument. Eldest brother, siblings, and younger sister are kin connected by blood, present for a lifetime of mutual support. They are family, blood is thicker than water. If any of them faced difficulties or troubles, he would try his best to help, even to the extent of selling pots and iron, but would never let his wife’s abilities be exposed. During these times, when empty bellies were a major issue both nationally and globally, how to address hunger? Is it not just grain and cotton! If Shuzhen’s miraculous power were exposed, Lianshan couldn’t even imagine the dangers she’d face. The best might be landing a decent position but losing personal freedom, being confined to endlessly accelerate food production. Worse, she’d be paired with others to try birthing more children with such abilities. At worst, once all her utility was drained, she’d be handed over to so-called scientists for dissection and research... Thinking his warm and kind soul might face such inhumane treatment due to a slip, Lianshan felt his heart wrench with pain. He grew more stern and serious, insisting she promise not to use her abilities recklessly or reveal her secret to anyone again. The determined and passionate gaze fixed on her nearly coaxed Shuzhen into nodding, "Mmm, alright, alright. I won’t tell anyone, only the heavens, the earth, you, and I know, okay? I hadn’t told anyone; you just accidentally saw it!" She had envisioned countless scenarios where, post-exposure of her abilities, marriage disputes, estrangement, and even breakups could ensue. But Shuzhen never imagined that, once this man knew she could casually create endless wealth and even achieve esteemed status, there was not a hint of hesitation or temptation. Only deep worry that, should the secrets be revealed, she would become a target, leading to countless requests for her to keep her abilities secret, to use them sparingly. For her safety, he was willing to ignore a ladder to success, taking each step painstakingly to secure the future for her and their children... Shuzhen wondered what good deeds she had done in her past lives to deserve such a good man. She just knew that now they were married, together, they should live happily. Short of death, no one should even dream of splitting them apart!
