At this moment, a small molten sphere emitting flames appeared in Zhang San's hand.

As Niu Mo looked on with wide eyes, curious about what this thing in Zhang San's hand was, Zhang San raised his hand and directly stuffed the thing into Niu Mo's mouth.

The sudden action of stuffing something into his mouth was both familiar and shocking to the Jade-Faced Fox.

Gulp—

Niu Mo directly swallowed it and then looked at Zhang San, asking with a confused look, "Brother, what did you just feed me?"

Zhang San explained with a smile, "It's the essence left for you by your ancestor, the Ancient Flame Bull, of course!"

"Essence!?"

Niu Mo was curious about what exactly it was that he had eaten.

However, in the next moment, his eyes turned completely crimson.

After staggering back a few steps, his entire body emitted a scorching aura, and it seemed as if all the pores on his bull body were radiating heat outward.

Even every breath Niu Mo took released a large amount of heat.

Zhang San vaguely felt that the heat Niu Mo was exhaling from his nostrils at this moment could almost roast a steak.

Then, Niu Mo started to twitch uncontrollably.

Mrs. Niu and the Jade-Faced Fox were about to rush forward upon seeing this, but fortunately, Zhang San stopped them in time.

"Ladies, Niu Mo is currently receiving the essence from the Ancient Flame Bull and is bound to endure some pain; however, after the pain, his strength will be greatly enhanced. You needn't worry."

Saying this, Zhang San pulled them both back slightly and whispered to them.

"Actually, how could the Ancient Flame Bull possibly know if Niu Mo is his descendant, but I just said he is. The Ancient Flame Bull can't tell, and in the current world, the most powerful among the Bull Demons is my brother Niu Mo. I even promised the Ancient Flame Bull that the second among the Twelve Zodiacs is indeed the Bull. Because of this, I secured such an opportunity for my brother Niu Mo."

The two women were originally worried about their husband.

But upon hearing that this was a heavenly opportunity, especially since this opportunity might not originally belong to Niu Mo, they realized they had received an unexpected advantage.

So naturally, they did not disturb Niu Mo, letting him quietly enhance his strength.

Then, the two women suddenly realized what Zhang San had mentioned earlier.

"The second among the Twelve Zodiacs is our old..."

"Shh—"

Zhang San made a silencing gesture, and the two women immediately closed their mouths.

"Ladies..."

Zhang San said in a very soft voice, "It's still not October yet; there's still more than three months until next year. I've already set this matter, so naturally, other members of the Demon Clan mustn't know. Hence, you two must keep this a secret, understood?"

The two women nodded repeatedly.

At this moment, Zhang San felt that the evaluation of the two women in his heart had risen significantly.

The stage was set, and next came the main course.

"Ladies, this opportunity can be called a once-in-a-lifetime chance, and since the Ancient Flame Bull was himself a Bull Demon, I was able to secure such a good opportunity for my brother Niu Mo. When I encountered Xuanwu, I couldn't even secure such a chance for anyone else. Therefore, this opportunity is extremely rare."

The two women continued to nod, and the clever Mrs. Niu sensed that Zhang San seemed to want to say something.

"Brother Zhang San, you care about your brother Niu Mo, and as his sister-in-law, I'm naturally grateful. But if you have something to say, please go ahead."

Zhang San found that Mrs. Niu was indeed smarter than the Jade-Faced Fox.

"Sister-in-law, since you're ready, I'll tell you everything. You've probably heard rumors about what the Thousand-Eyed Rat King did in Great Sui, right?"

Mrs. Niu really didn't know anything about this and shook her head slightly.

Meanwhile, the Jade-Faced Fox became proud and said with a smile, "I know this. The Thousand-Eyed Rat King, after arriving in Great Sui, not only placed many of his offspring as Mountain Gods across the land but also helped solve the rat infestations across Great Sui, saving many humans."

Zhang San nodded and said, "That's right. As part of the Twelve Zodiacs, one-twelfth of humans can have faith in you. You ladies don't think that when this time next year comes, Brother Niu Mo can just stay at home and naturally become the second Zodiac, do you?"

The two women immediately understood.

It was likely that Niu Mo would leave with Zhang San next year to help the humans in some endeavors.

"Brother Zhang San, we naturally know that your brother Niu Mo will definitely go out with you and make his way in the outside world. It's just... can you help us... help us watch out, so that other female demons don't get close to your brother Niu Mo. Your brother Niu Mo has a simple nature and can easily be tricked."

Mrs. Niu, although reluctant to admit it, also knew that once Niu Mo left, it would be just her and the Jade-Faced Fox left in this area.

Even if they clashed again, what would it matter then?

Zhang San patted his chest and promised, "Ladies, rest assured, I definitely won't let any female demons get near my brother Niu Mo!"

Reassured by this promise, Mrs. Niu felt much more at ease.

The Jade-Faced Fox also felt more secure.

After all, in these parts, the Jade-Faced Fox believed herself to be a beauty.

But out in the vast world, once Niu Mo went out, it would be hard to guarantee he won't encounter someone even more beautiful that might captivate him more.

Mrs. Niu, as the original wife, naturally was not worried about her status.

But as the secondary wife, she still needed Zhang San to help keep an eye out.

Then Zhang San said, "As for female demons, I can guarantee keeping them away from Brother Niu Mo, but as for human women, it's hard to say. After all, on the human side, there are many women. Especially given how excellent Brother Niu Mo is, who knows how many women might throw themselves at him then."

Hearing this, the two female demons panicked.

At this moment, the two ladies exchanged glances, seeing deep worry in each other's eyes.

Zhang San lightly coughed, looked over at Niu Mo, whose body was continuously transforming due to the power of the Ancient Flame Bull, and whispered, "Ladies, this is originally a family matter, and I'm not in a place to say much. But since I have received care from you both, brothers, let me offer a small piece of advice."

The two sisters-in-law immediately put on focused and attentive expressions.

"You see, most men respond better to tenderness than harshness. The more gentle and considerate you are, the more he will think about and care for you. Conversely, he'd rather leave as soon as possible. So..."

The two women exchanged glances.

Mrs. Niu considered Zhang San's words right, especially since the Jade-Faced Fox was indeed gentler, always speaking in a soft voice.

The Jade-Faced Fox naturally understood this too, even though she occasionally acted willful, it was mainly playfulness, not genuine troublemaking.

A moment later, Niu Mo finally absorbed the power of the Ancient Flame Bull into his body.

Then, as soon as he opened his eyes, he saw his two wives smiling warmly at him from either side.

Though their expressions were tender, for some reason, they made Niu Mo feel a bit scared inside.
