After experiencing that miraculous Rain of Life, Shui Wuxiang and Shui Wuyue deeply felt the significant increase in their own spirit power and the subtle changes in the quality of their Spirits.
These tangible benefits caused the last trace of hesitation in their hearts to completely vanish, leaving only the relief and expectation of becoming Yu Qing's wives.
Ever since they refined the Yin-Yang Power within their Dantian, the quality of their Spirits had already undergone a massive leap.
Although they hadn't yet reached the level of the legendary top-tier Spirits 'Ice Phoenix' and 'Water Phoenix', their original Ice-Condensing Flying Luan and Water-Condensing Flying Luan Spirits had already begun to show many Phoenix characteristics. Their wings were more magnificent, their forms more elegant, and the cold air and water currents they emitted carried a faint trace of pressure; they could now be called the 'Ice Phoenix' and 'Water Phoenix'.
In order to perform the next, more effective Dual Cultivation with Yu Qing sooner, the sisters threw themselves into the Cultivate of spirit power compression, almost forgetting to eat and sleep. With incredible perseverance, they forcibly shortened the five spirit power compressions, which originally would have taken more than ten days, to just seven days. When the last trace of newly added spirit power was completely purified and turned into a pure and stable Foundation, both felt an unprecedented sense of fulfillment and power.
During these seven days, Yu Qing also had a quite 'fulfilling' and even somewhat 'tiring' time. He was either pestered by the passionate Purple Pearl for 'Yin-Yang Harmonization', or pulled into the bedroom by Duan Xin or Zi Ruyi, who had developed a taste for it, for'special training'.
Especially Duan Xin; after mastering the 'Dragon Girl form', her 'combat strength' soared exponentially. Her offensive, which blended the Dragon Clan's resilient Physique with fiery passion, made Yu Qing both love and 'fear' it. It was so pleasurable it felt like dying and going to heaven, almost comparable to A Rou. Every time a 'battle' ended, Yu Qing couldn't help but lament that being a 'Dragon Knight' really wasn't that easy.
Of course, after the hearty 'harmonization', the four of them wouldn't forget the main task—performing a deeper Yin Yang Conjunction and deep Cultivate. Since the four of them were quite formidable, the duration of each collective Cultivate easily exceeded two hours.
spirit power and mental force blended and circulated perfectly among the four, bringing visible and immense improvements. Even Purple Pearl, who had the lowest cultivation, directly increased her spirit power by one level after a session, making her so happy she couldn't stop smiling.
"Husband~" After the session ended, Purple Pearl habitually hugged Yu Qing's arm, pressing her astonishing bosom against him, and said coquettishly, "From now on, let's 'harmonize' first before 'practicing together'. That way, the efficiency is highest!"
Hearing this, Duan Xin covered her mouth and chuckled on the side. "Haven't we always been like this? Pearl, did you just find out?" She used to love seeing the shy expressions of new sisters when they misunderstood the term 'Dual Cultivation'. Now that everyone 'practicing together' had become the norm, she felt it had lost some of the fun.
Zi Ruyi shook her head gently, her tone carrying a bit of helplessness and indulgence. "Xiner, you... you always like to use the term 'Dual Cultivation' to tease the new sisters. It's really a wicked hobby."
Duan Xin chuckled, a mischievous light flashing in her crimson Dragon eyes. "Hehe, isn't it interesting? Seeing them blush and act shy is so cute!"
...The next morning.
Yu Qing was holding his two adorable little ones in the courtyard, enjoying family bliss. Watching his son and daughter chase the Cloud-Shrouding Flower Emperor with their short legs, letting out crisp giggles, Yu Qing's face was filled with a happy and satisfied smile.
Just then, he saw the sisters Shui Wuxiang and Shui Wuyue walking into the yard, looking a bit nervous yet determined. When they saw this powerful Titled Douluo playing with his children like an ordinary father, a flash of surprise and... softness couldn't help but cross their eyes.
"You're here," Yu Qing said, greeting them with a smile while holding the two children. "Are you looking for Xiner and Ruyi?"
Shui Wuxiang took a deep breath, trying to make her voice sound calm and natural. "No, we're here for you." She looked directly at Yu Qing with her ice-blue eyes. "We've completed the spirit power compression and are here today for the next Dual Cultivation." Having fully understood the true meaning of 'Dual Cultivation', she had clearly become much more open.
Yu Qing nodded. "Alright." He carried the two children back into the house, handed them to Duan Xin and Zi Ruyi who had come out after hearing the noise, gave a few instructions, and then followed the Shui Family Sisters to the side courtyard where they were staying.
In the quiet cultivation room of the side courtyard, the three of them pressed their palms together. Their spirit power and mental force slowly connected, and they once again entered the mysterious state of Yin Yang Conjunction. Two sessions of deep Cultivate, each lasting about twenty minutes. When it was over, the sisters' faces were flushed and their eyes were hazy, still immersed in that ultimate pleasure of spiritual sublimation.
Yu Qing looked at their state and spoke gently, "Very good. Over the next few days, I will prepare some special Medicinal Cuisine and medicinal baths for you to further strengthen your Physique, laying the most solid Foundation for absorbing spirit rings beyond the limit in the future."
The Two Women gradually came to their senses. Shui Wuxiang nodded. "Thank you for your trouble, husband."
Shui Wuyue couldn't contain her curiosity and asked, blinking her large violet-blue eyes, "Husband, husband! Can we... in the future, also absorb spirit rings that exceed the limit by double the years, just like Sister Xin and Sister Ruyi?"
Yu Qing smiled confidently. "Of course. As long as the Foundation is built solidly enough, it's not a difficult task."
In the following days, Yu Qing personally prepared the ten complete great nourishment meal and the Body Tempering and Bone Refining Medicinal Bath for the sisters. The Medicinal Cuisine's effect was extremely startling, but... it also had a slight aphrodisiac side effect. When Yu Qing handed them the Medicinal Cuisine, he warned them in advance, "The effect of this Medicinal Cuisine is intense. Your body will feel some heat after taking it; this is a normal phenomenon and not because I've done anything. You... don't need to panic." He didn't want any more misunderstandings like those with A Rou and Purple Pearl.
After a period of Medicinal Cuisine nourishment and medicinal bath tempering, the sisters' Physique improved at a visible rate. Their skin became more lustrous, their blood and Qi were incredibly abundant, and their Meridians had widened significantly. Shui Wuxiang even took this opportunity to Breakthrough to level fifty-nine in spirit power, just one step away from becoming a Spirit Emperor.
"Husband, your Medicinal Cuisine... is too miraculous!" Even the calm Wuxiang could hardly remain composed at this moment, her ice-blue eyes filled with shock.
"Yeah, yeah!" Shui Wuyue also echoed excitedly. "I've never heard of any Medicinal Cuisine that can both greatly improve the Physique and advance spirit power like this. It's too amazing!"
Yu Qing smiled indifferently, a hint of pride in his tone. "Haha, this is my unique recipe, the only one of its kind in the entire continent."
As he spoke, he flipped his wrist, and two radiant Spirit Bones emitting startling cold air and surging water vapor appeared in his palm. The Spirit Bones were crystal clear throughout, as if condensed from the finest ice and water, and the energy fluctuations they contained were heart-pounding.
"These are two 80,000-year-old Spirit Bones," Yu Qing said calmly. "One is ice-attribute and the other is water-attribute, perfectly matching your Spirits. Since you've become my wives, consider these my betrothal gifts to you."
"Eigh... eighty thousand years?!" Shui Wuyue instantly began to stutter, her eyes fixed on the two Spirit Bones, unable to look away, her breathing becoming rapid.
Shui Wuxiang's pupils also shook violently. She forced herself to look away, her voice trembling slightly. "Husband... this... this is too precious, we..."
"Accept them," Yu Qing interrupted her gently. "Xiner, Ruyi, Pearl... they each have a matching Spirit Bone. And..." He changed the subject, "Next, I will use these two Spirit Bones as a catalyst to perform one last Body Tempering for you using the 'Thousand Refinements Method', tempering your Physique to the limit of your current Realm. That way, the spirit ring years you can absorb in the future... can reach the maximum!"
Hearing Yu Qing's words, the sisters could no longer contain the excitement and desire in their hearts. They carefully, almost holding their breath, took the two top-tier Spirit Bones they had dreamed of. They felt cool to the touch, yet their hearts trembled as if they were burning, and their faces showed expressions of intense heat and happiness.
The following Body Tempering process was painful yet efficient. Yu Qing guided the energy of the Spirit Bones, tempering the sisters' Meridians, bones, and flesh over and over like a blacksmith. When it was all over, although the sisters were exhausted, they could clearly feel... that their bodies had undergone a metamorphosis, reaching an unprecedented state of toughness.
Yu Qing also breathed a sigh of relief, stood up, stretched comfortably, and prepared to leave to let them rest.
However, at the very moment he turned around... a cool and soft hand gently pulled his sleeve.
Yu Qing turned back in confusion, looking at the owner of the hand—Shui Wuxiang.
Shui Wuxiang first leaned into her sister's ear and whispered a few words. After hearing them, Shui Wuyue's face turned red instantly. She stole a glance at Yu Qing and then, like a startled Little Rabbit, quickly ran out of the room and... 'click', locked the door from the outside.
Yu Qing: "???"
Shui Wuxiang took a deep breath, as if she had made a certain decision. She raised those ice-blue eyes, her gaze exceptionally clear and serious, looking directly at Yu Qing. Her voice was soft but exceptionally firm:
"Husband... I... we sisters... have decided... today... to give ourselves completely to you. Let us... become a true and complete husband and wives."
Hearing this, Yu Qing was slightly stunned. Looking at his new wife, who had a cold temperament and exquisite beauty but was now actively proposing this, a sense of tenderness rose in his heart. He didn't refuse, but only smiled gently, reached out, and softly pulled her into his arms.
Next, it was naturally a blending of water and milk, a lingering and poignant Yin-Yang Harmonization. Wuxiang, who was as cold as ice, gradually melted into a pool of spring water under Yu Qing's gentle guidance.
This deep 'harmonization' lasted for a full thirty minutes. When it was over, Shui Wuxiang, with flushed cheeks, put on her clothes and walked to the door with somewhat unsteady steps. She opened the door and whispered a few words to her sister, who was waiting outside with a red face and nervous anticipation.
Shui Wuyue first widened her eyes in surprise, then with a red face and lowered head, she slipped into the room as quickly as a thief. Shui Wuxiang then gently closed the door from the outside again.
Thus, under Yu Qing's slightly stunned yet amused gaze, the younger sister Shui Wuyue also completed the transformation from a young girl to a wife... When everything settled down and Yu Qing was holding them both, enjoying the warmth and satisfaction of the aftermath... [Ding! Special life fluctuation detected! Congratulations to the host, your Dao Companions Shui Wuxiang (Shui Wuyue) are blessed with pregnancy, successfully conceived!]
[Rewards distributed: heir treasure chest x1, soul power crystal (Red) x5, Star Body Tempering Milk x3, eternal foundation establishment spirit liquid x2, primal soul source fruit x2]
The System's emotionless notification sound exploded in Yu Qing's mind like a clap of thunder.
Yu Qing was completely stunned, a look of extreme bewilderment appearing on his face.
This... what's the situation? Just this one deep 'Yin-Yang Harmonization' and the Shui Family Sisters both got pregnant at the same time? This hit rate... is too high! Is it because they are sisters and have some special synchronization bonus? Or is it that... my 'life Origin' has become stronger recently?
Seeing the strange expression on Yu Qing's face, alternating between surprise and contemplation, Shui Wuyue, who was snuggled in his arms, asked uneasily in a small voice, "Husband... what's wrong? Is... is it because we sisters just now... wanted it too many times... and wore you out?" Her tone carried a trace of guilt and worry.
Hearing this, Yu Qing immediately snapped out of his bewilderment. He laughed, pulled the small and cute Shui Wuyue tight in his arms, kissed her smooth forehead, and said in a teasing tone, "Little silly, what are you thinking? How could your husband's strength be drained by you sisters in just once or twice? You two... are still too young! Think about it, why were Xiner and Ruyi... so active in pulling you to 'join the group'?"
Shui Wuxiang, on the side, nodded with a quite serious expression. "Sister, don't talk nonsense. Husband is already very... very powerful. A full two hours of 'harmonization'..." Recalling the passion just now, a blush couldn't help but rise on her cold and elegant face again. "In the future, you must never say such things to question husband."
Shui Wuyue pursed her lips aggrievedly. "I just saw husband's strange expression and was concerned!"
Yu Qing looked at his lovely wife's cute appearance, and the love in his heart grew even stronger. He smiled and stopped keeping them in suspense. He reached out and gently, softly stroked the sisters' still flat and smooth bellies.
His actions and his gaze were filled with tenderness and expectation.
"I was just surprised..." Yu Qing's voice carried a hint of incredulity and full joy, "Because... here... our little lives are already being nurtured."
"You... are pregnant with our children."
Shui Wuxiang: "!!!"
Shui Wuyue: "!!!"
The sisters instantly froze in Yu Qing's arms, their two pairs of beautiful eyes wide open, their faces filled with extreme shock, bewilderment, and... a slowly emerging, immense joy and being at a loss.
