Late at night, Bai Xu returned to the room and looked somewhat helplessly at Gu Yuena, who was tied to the bed and struggling incessantly. To cater to Gu Yue's mischievous whims, someone had stripped her of the noble silver gown she always wore, leaving her clad only in a sheer, lace-like white dress.
With Bai Xu's keen eyesight, nothing escaped his notice.
"Ah, when will this cycle of revenge ever end?" Bai Xu sighed leisurely as he sat on the bed to soothe her, at least enough to let her speak.
"I won't let those two off!" Gu Yuena fumed, her eyes tinged with embarrassment.
The dress was far too thin—clearly designed for a certain kind of appeal—and utterly impractical to wear.
"And you! Don't act as the peacemaker here. In the end… it's all for your benefit," Gu Yuena grumbled, her anger with nowhere to go. She wanted to scold Bai Xu, but her voice grew softer as she spoke.
His large hand trailed along her spine, sending tingles of discomfort through her.
"Mmm~, stop touching me like that!" she snapped.
Bai Xu chuckled softly, slowly pulling the covers over them both. "After all these years together, why still be shy? I can't possibly disappoint Gu Yue and Na'er's thoughtful intentions."
His hand moved unhurriedly, plucking at her heartstrings.
Gu Yuena asked, "I've severed the Dragon God's origin and am now cultivating my own path. I want to develop a spacetime physique—after all, the Dragon God once mastered those two laws. I want to push them to their limits, just like your mastery over the five elements."
"Of course, you can. Though Gu Yue and Na'er couldn't fully replicate the human body's five elements, they each have their own unique traits. Gu Yue embodies the sun and moon, with yin and yang cycling within her. Na'er is like an eternal evergreen, each distinct in their evolution. Despite their different physiques, their divine forbidden realms are the same—both have reached the first layer."
Gu Yuena hesitated before asking, "I heard… they're pregnant. Is that true?"
"Yes. Are you worried about that?" Bai Xu murmured.
"No, it's just…" Her eyelids lowered slightly, a hint of melancholy in her voice.
"It'll happen for you too."
Bai Xu didn't give her time to dwell on it. He flipped over, pinning her beneath him. "It's perfect timing—your cultivation is low right now. Dual cultivation with me will help you progress faster."
"Y-you—your injuries haven't fully healed yet!" Gu Yuena exclaimed in shock.
"The burden of the The Heavenly Demon of Transformation and Freedom was immense. I've been recovering for a long time, and now I might not even be a match for Gu Yue and Na'er. Ah~ I'm just like you—a fallen tiger!"
"Heh, I don't believe that."
Lying beneath Bai Xu, Gu Yuena listened to his comforting words, a faint smile on her lips. Every movement of hers exuded charm. She tried to sit up, a hairband between her teeth, and said, "Let me tie my hair first… or it'll get in the way."
As she carefully gathered her shimmering silver hair, moonlight streamed through the window, casting an ethereal glow. Bai Xu suddenly lost control—his heart pounded wildly, and his gaze grew hazy.
Gu Yuena noticed his change and panicked slightly. "Y-you… don't tell me you're…"
She realized she might have crossed a line. Under the moonlight, the sheer lace dress hid nothing, leaving her upper body completely exposed to Bai Xu's view. The tantalizing veil pushed him past his limits.
"Truly, 'horizontal views form ridges, side views form peaks—each angle offers a different sight,'" Bai Xu mused.
"Wait! What do you mean by that?" Gu Yuena followed his gaze downward and saw her own chest. Her face flushed pink, and she hastily covered herself, hiding the "peaks" from view.
Embarrassed, she pouted, about to say something—
But before she could speak, Bai Xu leaned down and claimed her lips.
His hands grew bolder, roaming upward and eliciting muffled whimpers from her. Her breathing quickened, and she instinctively covered her mouth.
"After all these years together, why are you still so—mmph~"
Words were abandoned as moans filled the room, lasting until dawn.
——
"Haa…"
Gu Yuena lay sprawled on the bed, utterly exhausted. She couldn't hold out as long as before and needed a long while to recover. Softly, she whispered, "I want a child too…"
"Then we'll need to intensify your cultivation. If the gap between husband and wife is too wide, conception becomes difficult—the Dragon God is a prime example," Bai Xu sighed, pulling her into his embrace. Their bodies pressed together, each breathing in the other's scent.
"The Dragon God?" Gu Yuena lowered her eyes, recalling the Dragon God's wife.
The difference between her and the Dragon God had been too vast, making conception nearly impossible. In the end, she had forced a pregnancy in secret, giving birth to the heir—but at the cost of her own life.
"I've realized many problems can be resolved through communication, yet so many refuse to speak openly. The former Time and Space Dragon Kings, the Dragon God, even his wife—all were like that."
"But you're different. The mystery of your crossing, the other Bai Xu who came specifically to explain… Everything was laid out clearly, no riddles or half-truths." Gu Yuena sighed.
"Heh, just a difference in principles."
"By the way… there's another way to have a child." Bai Xu suddenly adopted a teasing tone.
"What way?"
"Your cultivation is low now, but so is mine. If we work hard enough, it might just happen."
With that, he moved to pin her again.
"You—!" Gu Yuena flushed with indignation, trying to escape. She had only recently severed her origin, and though Na'er had healed her, her body was far weaker than before. Until she forged her spacetime physique, moderation was wise.
"Don't run…"
The moment she stepped off the bed, she was dragged back under the covers. Soon, the room echoed with gasps and moans once more.
"You scoundrel! You're just lusting after me, you lecher!"
"Mmm~!"
——
A day later.
Bai Xu stepped out of the room, returning with a tray of food—a scene reminiscent of the past, when he had first taken Gu Yuena's innocence.
Gu Yuena lay sprawled on the bed, utterly spent, glaring weakly at him. "Feed me. I don't want to move at all."
Lifting the covers slightly, she revealed marks covering her body—evidence of Bai Xu's fervor. She quickly covered herself again, unable to bear the sight.
"You must be starving," Bai Xu said, tending to her.
"Hey, how's it going?" Gu Yue walked in with a smirk, eyeing the messy Gu Yuena as if she had expected this.
"You—" Gu Yuena tried to sit up at the sight of Gu Yue's teasing grin, but a sudden jolt of soreness sent her collapsing back down.
"Hehe, Sister, why so angry? Still not satisfied?" Gu Yue's performance was flawless—she had never forgotten that humiliating night under the bed.
"Sister, the pregnancy was a lie… I just wanted to see your face when you thought Na'er and I were expecting. You looked so lost."
"Enough acting. Here, you take care of her," Bai Xu said dryly. Gu Yue held quite a grudge against her main body—that night under the bed had truly been torturous.
"Why should I?" Gu Yue and Gu Yuena locked eyes, sparks flying between them, neither willing to back down.
"You were peeping last night? What a devoted sister."
"Likewise. How else could I witness such a delightful sight?"
Slap!
A crisp sound rang out as Bai Xu suddenly appeared behind Gu Yue, delivering a sharp smack to her rear. The sound echoed through the room, startling them.
"Bai Xu, you—" Gu Yue stumbled forward, falling onto the bed as she turned to look at him in surprise.
But in the next moment, Bai Xu pressed down on her. "This feud between you two can't go on. Today, we settle it."
"Mmm~ no… don't…" Gu Yue's face flushed as his hand slipped under her clothes. She glanced at Gu Yuena, who was watching with amusement, then squeezed her eyes shut.
The door closed, plunging the room into darkness once more.
Bai Xu seized the opportunity, stripping off Gu Yue's top and leaving her flustered.
"Y-you—aren't you satisfied yet?" Gu Yue's eyes darted nervously. Such absurdity hadn't happened since that one time—afterward, Bai Xu had always visited them separately. But now…
"Sh-she's right here…"
Gu Yuena's face burned hotter as she took in Gu Yue's flawless jade-like skin. She burrowed deeper under the covers, leaving only her eyes exposed—curious yet shy, watching everything while inching away to make space.
She feared Bai Xu would drag her into the fray again.
Unfortunately, Bai Xu conjured another blanket, shrouding them and cutting off her view.
"The cycle of revenge ends today," Bai Xu whispered into Gu Yue's ear.
"Hmph~ Who says it's up to you? That night, I was tied under the bed for hours—and you didn't even notice!" Gu Yue huffed, tears glistening at the corners of her eyes. She resented Bai Xu for his obliviousness.
Bai Xu paused but didn't explain. Instead, his movements grew fiercer.
"Ah~ slow down~~"
"I admit, I failed you back then. But now, I'll treat you equally. How's that?" Bai Xu chuckled.
Gu Yue blinked in confusion as his motions slowed. "What do you mean, 'equally'?"
Meanwhile, Gu Yuena's instincts screamed danger. Sure enough, the next moment, she was yanked into the other blanket, face-to-face with Gu Yue. Her eyes traveled downward, and her neck turned crimson.
"Mmmph~ What are you doing?! This kind of… absurdity… you want a repeat?!"
"Why not? If I say 'equally,' I mean it."
"Bai Xu, you—!" Gu Yue gasped.
The room darkened again, fragmented sounds escaping.
"No… I surrender, I'm too sensitive now… I can't take anymore…" Gu Yuena pleaded.
"Uu~ I promise, it's over. I'll focus on cultivation from now on," Gu Yue whimpered.
——
Two days later.
Na'er wandered to Bai Xu's door, puzzled. "Where did they all go? I haven't seen them in days."
"Didn't Gu Yue say she'd call me? Why no word for two days?"
With slight unease, she pushed the door open. "Bai Xu, Gu Yue is missing—"
But the sight inside froze her in place.
Na'er saw Gu Yue and Gu Yuena on the bed, both flustered and frantic, silently urging her to flee with their eyes.
"What's… happening? Did I come at a bad time?"
"No, you're right on time."
Bai Xu pulled her in, and the door shut again.
The next moment, Na'er was gently tossed onto the bed, her mind flashing back to that outrageous night. Was history repeating itself?
She immediately burrowed under the covers—only to freeze in shock. Gu Yue and Gu Yuena were completely naked, lying side by side as if it were nothing, with half-eaten food on nearby table.
"I said 'equally,' and I meant it. Na'er, no exceptions."
She had heard that line too many times.
Timidly, she asked, "Can I pretend I saw nothing and leave quietly?"
Bai Xu's advancing figure was her answer.
The room descended into chaos once more.
"Stop… don't pull me in, I really can't anymore!" Gu Yuena was on the verge of tears.
"Me too… I already agreed. My body's too sensitive now, I admit defeat," Gu Yue groaned.
"Uuu~ You're bullying us~" Na'er tried pitifully to appeal to his mercy, but it was useless.
"Ah~ mmm~"
——
Three days later.
Bai Xu and the three women emerged from the room, all slightly awkward.
"Pervert. You got everything you wanted," Gu Yuena grumbled.
"You've been fantasizing about this for a while, haven't you?" Gu Yue adjusted her clothes. "Probably planned it from the start."
"I… I think it was fine…" Na'er blushed, lowering her head. The three were originally one—yet now, the lines had blurred beyond recognition.
"Let's go. Time to prepare for the wedding," Bai Xu said with a smile, leading the three into the distance.
——
Three months later.
Bai Xu's wedding with Gu Yuena, Gu Yue, and Na'er wasn't extravagant—only close friends attended, from soul beasts to Federation members. No grand broadcast to the world. Simple, just as they preferred.
——
Years later.
Over time, the Star Luo and Dou Ling Empires finally yielded to the Federation's advance, even willingly submitting. The Douluo Planet was unified.
Di Tian became the new Dragon God but abandoned vengeance against humans, instead venturing into the cosmos alone. Even with his current power, he couldn't find the edges of this universe's fragment.
One day, Bai Xu arrived at the core of the Star Dou Great Forest.
"My lord," Di Tian greeted respectfully.
"We're leaving. Before we go, there's something you should know."
"Please speak, my lord."
"Thousands of years from now, you will become the ruler of this universe. After I shattered it, it became possible to refine. Once your cultivation is sufficient, you can claim it. And… afterward, this fragment will merge into a new universe—one with a completely different trajectory."
"This is what I deduced from The Heavenly Demon of Transformation and Freedom."
"My lord, I… don't fully understand."
"In ten thousand years, an heir to the Dragon God's throne will emerge. You'll know then. But because the Dragon God's divinity is unique, as long as you exist, that heir cannot inherit it. Thus… conflict is inevitable." Bai Xu's tone was meaningful.
"Are you saying I should kill the heir?"
"No. The choice is yours. I'm only warning you. If you face an insurmountable challenge, call upon your master. Chant her name sincerely, and she will hear you."
"Thank you for the guidance!"
With that, the three women stepped out from behind Bai Xu. They smiled at the Star Dou Great Forest one last time before following Bai Xu into the stars, toward unknown worlds.
