Chapter 299 - Chapter 299: The Arrival of the Adepti, and Cloud Retainer's Maternal Urgency

The night of cultivation quickly ended.

Having stayed up for days, Su Han chose to rest. However, he did not sleep with the Raiden Shogun. He chose Ganyu.

Since their first intimate night, events had piled up, and they hadn't had time alone until now.

The tender little Cocogoat was as shy as before. She lay on the bed, covered only by a thin black veil.

"That... do we really not have to worry about the Raiden Shogun? If she minds, I can return to Liyue and be with you then..."

Though she spoke of leaving, Ganyu's eyes were full of affection. Clearly, her words were not sincere. She yearned to feel close to him again.

Su Han lay down and pulled his little wife into his arms. "Today is with the Raiden Shogun's explicit permission... relax."

He had spoken with Ei about this aspect of their relationship recently. He wouldn't risk her anger otherwise.

Ganyu breathed a sigh of relief.

A night without words passed.

The next day, Su Han's mood was excellent. Good fortune continued to follow him. When he arrived at the meeting location, Klee and the Adepti had arrived.

The little sun was sharing snacks with Qiqi.

"Here... this is my favorite chocolate ball. It has a surprise filling, hehe... tasty, right?"

"Mhm!" Qiqi held the chocolate ball, smiling happily.

When she saw Su Han, her eyes lit up. She instantly abandoned Klee and ran towards Su Han.

"Big Brother... eat this for you..." Qiqi stood on her tiptoes, offering her snack.

Su Han took a bite. "Mm... very delicious! You've been here long, Qiqi?"

"Half an... half an hour."

There were many people around, making Qiqi a little shy.

Su Han noticed the longing in her eyes and lifted her into his arms.

Seeing this, Klee also ran over, demanding to be held. "Big Brother... me too... me too, please..."

"Alright," Su Han chuckled. "Both of you."

He carried both of them as they entered Tenshukaku.

Many Adepti were already inside, including Xiao.

Seeing him, the Yaksha walked over and smiled faintly. "I heard you held a celebration. I came to check it out... I didn't expect it to be so lively."

"Hehe, it's alright. Just providing some welfare for Inazuma... I didn't expect you to come too. Bosacius's soul is upstairs... do you want to see him?"

Xiao shook his head. "I've already seen him. Yae Miko told me. I heard you saved Inazuma; you must be tired. If there are any strong enemies, I can assist you."

Su Han smiled. "No enemies for now. They're probably all scared off. Sit down. Today we eat Inazuma's specialties."

At this moment, Cloud Retainer looked at the two girls Su Han was holding and smiled broadly. "Look... Su Han truly loves children. I wonder when he will have his own offspring."

"I think you just want to see your disciples pregnant, don't you?" Mountain Shaper replied. "But... Su Han is very busy. He's always on the move. He probably needs to settle down first."

"Nonsense," Madam Ping shook her head. "What conflict is there between being busy and having children? A child born from Su Han's excellent bloodline would be incredibly powerful. Many old friends left behind the crystallization of their treasures during the Archon War. Ganyu is one of them..."

Su Han's face was completely black. What were these Adepti talking about? They had suddenly pivoted to the topic of children.

Xiangling blushed. "I... I remember I have medicinal cuisine. I'll go check it..."

Ganyu immediately stood up. "I'll help too!" The little Cocogoat almost bumped into Sayu in her haste to escape.

Only Shenhe, surprisingly, remained calm. "Mm, I will consider it."

Su Han looked at her, surprised. What was wrong with her today?

Shenhe just gave him a knowing smile. She had clearly been thinking about this for a while.

Cloud Retainer, hearing her disciple's good behavior, was overjoyed. "See? Shenhe is obedient. Unlike Ganyu..."

"Ahem... Old Friend, let's not discuss private matters," Moon Carver interjected, trying to save Ganyu.

Cloud Retainer quickly realized her error. "Alright, I'll talk to her privately later."

The banquet became pleasant again. Klee, Qiqi, Sayu, and Diona provided much amusement. Diona was persuaded to mix drinks, and Qiqi and Klee monopolized Su Han's lap.

An hour later, Paimon, slightly tipsy, flew up to him.

"Hic... Su Han, want a drink?"

"Hic... Diona's wine is good... wait, why are there three of you? No, no... am I too drunk?"

"Wuwu... I want to nap on your head."

Su Han was an amusing sight: two lolis on his lap, and a tipsy emergency food on his head.

Lumine quickly rescued him. "I told Paimon not to drink. She secretly took a sip. I apologize for the trouble."

Su Han shook his head. "It's fine. Take Paimon to a room upstairs to rest."

The banquet finally ended an hour later. The Adepti left to sample the festival's treats in human form. Xiao headed out to teach martial arts.

Su Han went alone to the top floor. He wanted to see if the Soul Crystal he gained from the Thunder Manifestation could heal the two sleeping souls.

He placed the pure white crystal into Hanachirusato's wooden box.

Immediately, a surprised voice echoed out.

"What is this? Such a comfortable feeling... is that you, little brother Su Han?"

"Phew... such pure soul energy. I feel my body is condensing."

The soul of Bosacius also spoke, signaling the successful application of the healing energy.
