Chapter 364
A highly skilled witch like Murong Xue probably wouldn't have learned this technique or made such a significant sacrifice if it weren't for the pursuit of capturing Li Su, the "reincarnated immortal." The rarity of reincarnated immortals meant that many cultivators might not encounter one in their entire lifetime.
Moreover, considering how incredibly powerful and exceptional Li Su was as a "reincarnated immortal," his charisma was extraordinary. Li Su had noticed that some of the less powerful witches were less noticeable. They blend in among female cultivators, their behavior not too deliberate, often escaping Li Su's initial notice.
While enjoying himself, Li Su encouraged them to bear children. The fifth witch quickly fell into line, continuously giving birth. Even Murong Xue was somewhat stunned. After her tenth childbirth, Li Su finally stopped her, but he still occasionally came by for his own indulgence. Murong Xue had a faint feeling that Li Su might have sensed something.
Yet, she wasn't certain because Li Su didn't display any abnormal behavior. Although Li Su showed no mercy towards her during their first encounter, she had no idea if he acted similarly to the other concubines. Watching their children grow each day and seeing them grow more and more devoted to Li Su as their father, Murong Xue's heart was constantly conflicted.
She suddenly felt that living with Li Su on Wolong Mountain for the rest of her life wouldn't be bad. Her inner turmoil persisted about whether to come clean with Li Su. She had no idea how Li Su would treat her after that revelation. Seemingly oblivious to her internal struggle, Li Su continued living his comfortable life as if nothing had changed.
Strangely enough, having these witches around did bring a different kind of enjoyment. The Demon Saint Palace hadn't noticed the situation with these witches yet. They also didn't hold much hope of dealing with Li Su in the near future…
It had been just a few decades since Murong Xue arrived, right? Li Su estimated that the Demon Saint Palace had probably given these witches at least a century or two before any expectations were set for them.
In the eyes of the people in the Demon Saint Palace, what significant growth could Li Su achieve within a century or two, even as a reincarnated immortal? The time it took for a reincarnated immortal to surpass the body fusion stage wasn't enough. Only after a prolonged period and successive failures of these witches, the Demon Saint Palace might resort to force, capturing Li Su to refine him into a pill comparable to a substantial mass of immortal energy.
"Saintess, now that Li Su has recruited four or five palace witches, do you still intend to go?" Another witch arrived in the Northern Domain that day. This witch also had exceptionally high attractiveness. It was certain that Li Su wouldn't even consider someone with low attractiveness. They wouldn't pass the first test.
"Of course, the Alluring Maiden's Pure Yin Body is an exceptional physique, greatly beneficial to male cultivators, capable of making them feel as if they're transcending life and death. Even if Li Su were a reincarnated immortal, he would still fall under the sway of this Saintess's charm!" The witch lifted her head proudly, exuding immense confidence. She possessed a rare and extraordinary physique. This was a type of supreme physique exclusive to females, known as the Alluring Maiden's Pure Yin Body.
The primordial feminine essence not only aids female cultivators in their practice of dark arts, amplifying their progress, but also brought unparalleled joy to male cultivators who unite with them. Thus, this witch possessed such unwavering confidence. She lurked within the northern territories for several years, patiently awaiting an opportunity. Finally, she caught the attention of Li Su and was welcomed into his household.
After entering the household, this witch behaved like a delicate woman. Indeed, on their wedding night, Li Su experienced unparalleled bliss. "Heh, it takes the skills of this witch, after all." Watching Li Su stay by her side for several months, this witch named Susu couldn't help but feel a sense of pride.
She was quite content with Li Su, or else she wouldn't have made such significant sacrifices. However, she truly desired to conquer Li Su, this reincarnated immortal. Soon enough, her belly grew. Susu, unperturbed, decided to give birth to a child for Li Su. This child turned out to be exceptional, possessing a second-grade spiritual root.
This also pleased Li Su quite a bit. Soon after Su's recovery post-childbirth, Li Su returned. Su felt quite delighted, thinking Li Su must be enamored with her. Occasionally, when she encountered Murong Xue outdoors, she would raise her head, staring challengingly at Murong Xue as if issuing a challenge through her gaze.
However, Murong Xue completely ignored her, and the way Murong Xue looked at her seemed rather peculiar to Su. Soon enough, Su discovered why Murong Xue's gaze had seemed so odd. While Su did possess a unique physique, it also made her adept at childbirth. Murong Xue's physique was indeed exceptional but not as conducive to childbirth. It took Murong Xue five or six decades to give birth to ten children.
Su only took around twenty-something years, half the time Murong Xue took. When her tenth child was born, Su was utterly overwhelmed.
Ten!She had given birth to ten children. However, despite Li Su's continued fascination with her physique, the emotional seeds she had sown seemed not to yield significant results.
This left Su utterly puzzled. She could clearly sense Li Su's fondness for her. Especially in those moments, it felt as if he was practically… However, why weren't her emotional seeds yielding significant results? At that moment, Su wasn't the confident woman she used to be, believing she could easily captivate Li Su.
She finally understood why, despite Li Su being just over six hundred years old, the Li family already constituted a massive clan with several million descendants. Thankfully, sometimes, no amount of consolation helped during unfortunate times. However, witnessing another person's misfortune or someone facing even worse luck than him could provide a sense of relief.
Because another witch arrived, this marked the seventh one. This witch quickly followed suit, continuously giving birth there. Observing this witch having several children and occasionally seeing her expressions while carrying a prominent belly, Su suddenly felt much better. At least the other witches also couldn't escape the childbirth ordeal.
Any more?Upon the seventh witch falling into the rhythm of childbirth, Li Su became somewhat expectant. These witches had a higher likelihood of childbirth.Bring in more. I wouldn't mind having more children,Li Su thought. Perhaps the people from the Demon Saint Palace had no idea about the experiences these witches underwent after entering the Li residence.
In this world, there were tribulations like Thunder Tribulation, Minor Celestial Tribulation, Major Celestial Tribulation, and even personal tribulations during the Five Declines of the Heavenly Being. However, for these witches, continuously giving birth in the Li residence was termed the "Childbirth Tribulation."
