"I'm going to die!"
At that moment, Tang Yuehua could no longer endure it and was directly overwhelmed by the tide that sent her soul soaring.
When Tang Hao and Tang Xiao saw Tang Yuehua again, it was three hours later.
She walked with a slight limp, moving a bit unnaturally. Her pretty face was still flushed with a lingering redness.
"Little sister, what happened to you? Are you sick?" Tang Xiao asked.
"No... I just slipped and fell outside. Why were you looking for me?" Tang Yuehua replied, slightly evasively.
"You should be more careful. How do you even trip while walking?" the two scolded gently.
Seeing Tang Yuehua remain silent, they didn't dwell on it and stated their business directly.
Tang Yuehua agreed without a second thought.
After all, things had been getting heated between her and Yeyu these past few days, and she'd grown fond of it. Her two brothers were getting in the way.
She couldn't wait for them to leave.
They had been sneaking around for days anyway—who knew what they were even looking for?
"Little sister seems... different these past few days," Tang Xiao remarked as he watched her walk away.
"Different how?" Tang Hao asked.
"I can't quite put my finger on it. She just looks... prettier. More refined," Tang Xiao pondered aloud.
"Maybe she's just growing up. Isn't there a saying that women change a lot at eighteen?" Tang Hao replied.
Tang Xiao: "..."
Tang Xiao stared speechlessly at his second brother. Growing up? What kind of explanation was that? He rubbed his forehead, exasperated.
Still, he didn't overthink it—finding Ah Yin was more important.
---
Time flew by. A month passed.
Less than half a month remained until their return, but there was still no movement from Ah Yin. Even Yeyu had started feeling anxious.
But soon, a heavy weight was lifted from his heart.
Ah Yin was finally pregnant.
In the tranquil courtyard, a small bridge crossed over flowing water, with fish swimming leisurely below. The atmosphere was peaceful and pleasant.
Yeyu lay on a lounge chair, holding Ah Yin in his arms, basking in the sun.
He savored this rare moment of serenity.
Beside him, Tang Yuehua wore a cool goose-yellow palace dress. Her long hair was elegantly pinned up, giving her a graceful and noble air.
She sat quietly by a harp, her fingers plucking out a stream of melodious tones.
The music had a calming, soul-soothing quality.
Yeyu began to understand what Tang Yuehua's so-called domain truly was.
It was an artistic conception, not a real domain. She was still far from reaching that level.
He then thought of the Slaughter God's Domain in the City of Slaughter, which had a similar effect—though its purpose was to manipulate the energy of the world to suppress opponents with killing intent.
One soothed the soul.
The other instilled fear and suppressed the enemy, increasing the user's combat power.
This too was an artistic conception—aligned with Daoist principles of harmony with the universe. It was far from being a true domain.
Having understood this, Yeyu didn't dwell on it further, only marveling at Tang Yuehua's extraordinary talent.
For an ordinary person to comprehend the power of intent was exceptional.
Feeling the small life growing inside Ah Yin's belly, Yeyu's lips curved upward in anticipation.
And as expected, once Ah Yin became pregnant, his rewards arrived:
Reward 1: 14 Bloodline Enhancement Serums
Reward 2: 2 Soul Enhancement Serums
Reward 3: 2 Gene Enhancement Serums
Reward 4: 1 Advanced Intelligent Auxiliary Lifeform
Reward 5: 1 Extra Slot Card
The serums were self-explanatory, though the quantity this time was surprising.
Yeyu had initially hoped to chug them all and max out his bloodline level instantly.
And maybe double-up on his gene and soul levels too.
But unfortunately, he had hoped for too much.
Each batch of rewards only allowed one dose to be effective. Drinking more wouldn't further increase any stats.
Clearly, the 14 bloodline serums were meant for his 12 bound wives, himself, and his future child.
The soul and gene serums were meant for him and his child.
Then came the advanced intelligent lifeform—a reward that made Yeyu especially happy.
Intelligence levels ranged from: basic programmed AI → light brains → intelligent lifeforms.
An advanced intelligent lifeform had full human-like emotions.
Yeyu's reward was one such lifeform. He named it Xiao Yao, the same name as his intelligent fighter jet.
Its appearance resembled that of a delicate and exquisite 14-15-year-old loli.
Xiao Yao was on the same level as Babata after it had downgraded.
Of course, she couldn't compare to Babata at its peak as an immortal lifeform.
But with Xiao Yao's support, life became much easier for Yeyu.
Especially now that he was back on Earth, he finally had a sense of privacy and no longer feared surveillance.
At the No. 9 Ruins, a light brain constantly monitored Earth.
And Babata, hidden beneath Mist Island, could strip him bare if it wanted to.
Yeyu felt like he had no secrets left.
Now, this intelligent lifeform not only protected his privacy but could also scan enemy power levels.
Most importantly, it could assist in cultivation—like simulating the technique Ninefold Thunder Blade.
Created by the Thunder God, Ninefold Thunder Blade was already limited in the martial arts desert that was Earth.
As long as Yeyu fed Xiao Yao enough techniques, she could refine and even create new ones.
She could also decipher runes—like those found in the two Divine King–level soul bones Yeyu brought back.
Given time and enough material, Xiao Yao could create secret techniques from those inscriptions.
Yeyu hadn't just been idling at home either. He had gone out and collected over a thousand soul rings.
Soul rings and soul bones shared similar skills—nothing new there.
He had provided Xiao Yao with a massive amount of data.
What she still lacked were cultivation methods from the Devouring World. Once they returned, Yeyu planned to go all out.
Another bonus: Xiao Yao could build a virtual training space, where Yeyu could fight and hone his skills.
Though this would only be possible back on Blue Star.
Right now, Xiao Yao was like a blank canvas, needing to learn everything from scratch.
In the serene courtyard...
With music playing and the glow of motherhood emanating from Ah Yin, the stunning Tang Yuehua watched with a look of envy.
She had followed Yeyu for over a month now, yet still showed no signs of pregnancy.
It left her slightly frustrated.
After a month of training, Tang Yuehua had undergone a complete transformation.
Not just physically or in terms of spiritual power.
Her soul power alone had nearly reached level 50 Soul King in just one month.
With such cultivation, her aura had changed entirely.
Had Tang Hao and Tang Xiao still been in Heaven Dou City, they would've immediately noticed.
Unlike last time, when they couldn't see the difference.
To Tang Yuehua, it all felt like a dream.
Though she had once held a noble status, a waste was still a waste—no one dared mock her aloud, but she knew.
Now, things were different.
