Chapter 253: Advancing to Nascent Soul
In Lan Kui's spiritual world, she saw a vast world where a thousand-meter True Dragon was battling a giant golden bird. Ultimately, the dragon was outmatched, forced to spit out the Dragon Pearl to protect a much smaller dragon.
The golden bird screeched and rushed at the Dragon Pearl, pecking a bloody hole into the small dragon. Just as it was about to deliver the killing blow, the True Dragon entwined the bird and bit its wing; blood and scales flew everywhere.
"Child, live on, go find your father."
The True Dragon spoke, holding the bird while controlling the Dragon Pearl to protect the small dragon, then opened a void to send it away.
Before the small dragon fell into the space rift, it saw for the last time that the True Dragon's head was pierced through by the bird, blood staining the sky, especially tragic.
Lan Kui's face was covered in tears, realizing at that moment that she was the small dragon, and the one who saved her was her mother.
Endless sorrow welled up in her heart.
At this moment, a pair of strong arms embraced her.
Lan Kui opened her eyes, sobbing, "Husband."
Shen Wang consoled her, "You still have me, and the little one in your belly."
"Sob, sob."
Lan Kui clung to Shen Wang and continued crying.
Shen Wang said nothing, waiting for Lan Kui to finish her tears before speaking, "You must have received some information, is this Dragon Pearl from your kin?"
"Yes, it's my mother's. She died to protect me."
Lan Kui's eyes were brimming with tears.
"The parental heart is always full of love and sacrifice."
Shen Wang sighed, patting Lan Kui's shoulder, "You have to live well to be worthy of your mother's sacrifice."
"Yes." Lan Kui held Shen Wang, "Thank you, husband, without you, I would still be a poor little Carp Spirit."
"As long as you don't blame me for only giving you the Dragon Pearl now."
Shen Wang spoke helplessly.
"You didn't know the situation, even I lost that part of my memory."
Lan Kui wouldn't blame Shen Wang at all, if anyone, it would be that vile bird.
"Alright, our life still goes on, let's go to the room and have a chat."
Shen Wang said, leading Lan Kui down the mountain.
He casually teased, "Didn't expect you to really be a Dragon Girl, I always thought you were a Carp Spirit."
"Of course not, I said I'm a Dragon Girl." Lan Kui replied.
"Are you looking for your family? You should at least see people from your mother's side."
Shen Wang asked.
"My mother died protecting me, I'm not sure where the rest of my family is, I remember it's in a great sea."
Lan Kui recalled her vague memories, shaking her head eventually, "I was injured, and it has been a long time, I can't remember clearly."
"It's alright, as long as your family is out there, there will be a chance in the future."
Shen Wang comforted, "For now, this is your home, get your mood right and wait for the child's birth."
"Yeah, yeah."
Lan Kui nodded obediently.
Shen Wang lovingly stroked her black, luscious hair and rejoined the other women.
The women were curious about the phenomena at the mountaintop and noticed Lan Kui's red eyes and changed demeanor, expressing surprise.
Shen Wang briefly spoke of Lan Kui's experience, making the women sympathize and surround Lan Kui, comforting her, leaving him with nothing more to do.
Looking at the harmonious wives, Shen Wang felt satisfied in his heart.
Shen Wang continued cooking, preparing a large table of fine dishes.
The family gathered around the large table for a meal, enjoying familial bliss.
"I should cultivate more of the Five Extremes Divine Transformation Technique, and quickly reach the level of Minor Success after breaking through."
After dinner, Shen Wang returned to the main topic.
He cultivated while waiting for the child's birth.
Three days later, Rose's stomach ached, and she went into labor.
Shen Wang sensed the commotion, getting up and exiting the Cultivation Room.
"Another new life is about to arrive."
Shen Wang quietly awaited.
Shortly after, a daughter was born.
Shen Wang's Cultivation rose by one level, equivalent to decades of hard cultivation.
"Husband, it's a daughter, come in and see."
Jia'Er opened the door, smiling and inviting Shen Wang.
Entering the lively room, with Jia'Er and the others present, and Moyu observing.
They made way, and Shen Wang approached Rose first, saying, "You've worked hard."
"Husband, it's not that hard, what do you think of a name for the child, our sisters are all due soon, we might run out of seasonal names."
Rose smiled and shook her head.
"I've thought about this, your children will be named after characters from your names."
Shen Wang, prepared beforehand, picked up the little daughter and said, "Let's call this girl Meisheng, with the 'sheng' from music."
"Meisheng, it sounds nice."
Rose repeated, very fond of it.
Beside them, Dan'Er mumbled, "Then will my child be called Dansheng? What about when we have more?"
"Pick from your surname, there will always be names."
Shen Wang smiled, "Rose, eat a Spiritual Peach, I'll replenish your strength a little."
He handed her a peach, then took her hand to infuse Spiritual Power.
The supplement of internal and external strength restored much of Rose's Primordial Qi, making her spirited.
Just having recovered Dan'Er, Li Yue suddenly spoke, "Husband, I feel like I'm about to give birth too."
The nearby Paper Kite hurriedly supported her, "You're having twins, better lay down on the bed."
Shen Wang remarked, "These two children are just right, one girl and one boy, named Li Sheng and Yuesheng."
He took his leave, and minutes later, two system prompts showed, with Shen Wang's Cultivation reaching the Fifth-Layer Golden Core.
The three children brought him three layers of cultivation, after absorbing the Five Elements Origin, one layer, now nearing the late-stage Golden Core.
Upon entering to see the children, Bai Yu's face also suddenly changed, "Why do I feel like the little one's coming too."
Chanchan nodded, "Me too, maybe the sisters influence each other?"
"Quick, put the beds together, in case it gets too busy later."
