Sometimes, fate is truly a mysterious and elusive thing.
Take pregnancy, for example. A Rou, as one of Yu Qing's earliest and closest Dao Companions and a Rank 96 Super Douluo, had long yearned to conceive a child of her own with Yu Qing. She seized almost every opportunity to engage in "profound and simple" Yin-Yang Harmonization with Yu Qing, countless times, yet... her belly remained silent to this day.

Although Fox Consort and Purple Pearl didn't have such a strong obsession with getting pregnant, their enthusiasm for "Yin-Yang Harmonization" was not at all weaker than the former. Especially Purple Pearl, whose demands were simply relentless, yet the result... was similarly "quiet."
However... the newly arrived Shui Family Sisters, Shui Wuxiang and Shui Wuyue, both managed to hit the jackpot after just one "Yin-Yang Harmonization"! This hit rate was simply ridiculous!
Yu Qing could even imagine the colorful expressions on the faces of A Rou and Fox Consort when they returned and learned this news... surprise? Envy? Perhaps a hint of slight unwillingness? Especially A Rou... she would probably turn her disappointment into "motivation" and "squeeze" him ruthlessly! Thinking of this, Yu Qing couldn't help but shiver, both looking forward to it and feeling a bit "scared."
Shaking his head to clear these messy thoughts, Yu Qing refocused on the present. He began to carefully formulate a prenatal care plan for the Shui Family Sisters. With his previous experience caring for Duan Xin and Zi Ruyi during their pregnancies, he was now well-versed and handled it with ease. Various Medicinal Cuisine recipes, soothing incense, and appropriate Yin Yang Conjunction arrangements... everything was organized perfectly.
In the evening, returning to the main house, Yu Qing looked at Duan Xin playing with the children, Zi Ruyi quietly reading, and Purple Pearl waiting for him eagerly. He cleared his throat and announced this "bombshell news."
"Ahem... so... I have something to tell you guys." Yu Qing's tone was as calm as possible. "Wuxiang and Wuyue... they... are pregnant."
The room fell silent for a second.
"What?!" Purple Pearl was the first to explode! She jumped up from her chair, her eyes wide with disbelief and immense shock! "Just... just one harmonization? They... they're pregnant?! And both of them at once?! This... how is this possible?!" She subconsciously touched her own flat, smooth, and quiet belly, her tone filled with deep envy and a hint of frustration.
Yu Qing nodded affirmatively: "I sensed life fluctuations in their bellies, exactly the same as when Xiner and Ruyi were pregnant."
A hint of mischief flashed in Duan Xin's crimson Dragon eyes. She nudged Sister Ruyi next to her with her elbow and said with a giggle: "Hehe~ Sister Ruyi, look! This Down... Sister Rou is going to 'go crazy' when she gets back! She's waited so long without any results... I bet she'll'squeeze' husband to death! The kind that won't stop until she's pregnant!" Her tone was full of excitement at the prospect of a good show.
Hearing this, Zi Ruyi smiled gently and shook her head slightly: "Xiner... don't say that about Sister Rou. She'll definitely be happy for husband when she finds out." Although she said that, there was a hint of a smile in her eyes too.
Purple Pearl, however, was in no mood for jokes. She rushed to Yu Qing's side, tightly hugged his arm, sandwiching it with her impressive chest, and looked up with a serious, almost "vowing" expression: "Husband! I don't care! From today on, for the next few days, you must harmonize with me every day. No matter what... I have to get pregnant before Sister Rou and Sister Fox Consort return. I can't lose to the new sisters!"
As soon as she said this, Duan Xin and Zi Ruyi both gave her a "you wish" look and curled their lips in unison.
Duan Xin stood with her hands on her hips, a posture that further highlighted her already proud figure, and "warned": "Sister Pearl~ that won't do~ Husband isn't yours alone. Wanting him all to yourself? No way!"
Zi Ruyi also added softly but firmly: "That's right, Pearl. The rain and dew must be shared equally."
Purple Pearl immediately deflated like a punctured ball and scratched her face awkwardly. Her eyes darted around as she proposed a "compromise" plan: "Then... how about this! Tonight... husband harmonizes with me once first, and then... goes to Sister Xin and Sister Ruyi's place. How about that? That should be fine, right?!"
Duan Xin rubbed her chin, feigning deep thought, then nodded with satisfaction: "Hmm~ that's more like it. Approved."
Zi Ruyi also smiled and expressed her agreement.
And so, the three women happily arranged Yu Qing's future nightly "itinerary" quite clearly.
Yu Qing, who had been "arranged," pointed at himself between laughter and tears: "Hey, hey... did you guys forget to ask for my opinion?"
Duan Xin immediately leaned in, blinking her large eyes, and said in an extremely seductive tone: "Oh~ husband~ just enjoy yourself! With the three of us 'harmonizing' with you every night, aren't you happy? Aren't you blessed?"
Looking at his three wives, each with a different style but equally devastatingly beautiful, Yu Qing helplessly massaged his forehead. However, deep down, a strange sense of anticipation and confidence arose. After all, he was a man who possessed the divine skill, Yin Extreme Reverse Yang Art! Want to "drain" him? Hmph... that's still ten thousand years too early!
Thus, Yu Qing began a period of incredibly happy and busy life:
During the day, he played with his son and daughter, enjoying family bliss, guided Disciples like Ling Xin and Ling Mou in their Cultivation, trained the core members of the sect, and personally prepared prenatal Medicinal Cuisine for the pregnant Shui Family Sisters.
At night... he was "pampered" in turn by his three tiger-like wives: first the fiery Purple Pearl, then the dragon-girl Duan Xin with explosive combat power, and finally the gentle-as-water Zi Ruyi. Life was truly fulfilling.
Time flew by in such a busy manner, and in the blink of an eye, a month had passed.
However, as time went on, the faint worry in Yu Qing's heart grew heavier.
A Rou and Fox Consort... still hadn't returned. No messages had been sent back either.
Although he knew A Rou was extremely powerful and Fox Consort had passed her maturity period with strong survival skills, the lack of news for so long was inevitably worrying.
He couldn't help but ask Duan Xin and Zi Ruyi about it.
The answer he received left Yu Qing between laughter and tears, yet somewhat helpless.
It turned out that after the failure of their last attempt to "punish" him, the four women had reflected deeply and unanimously agreed—the five sisters were still "weak and few" and couldn't "defeat" their powerful husband. To add more sisters and strengthen the "wives' army," they had hit it off and formulated this "Sister Recruitment Plan"!
Duan Xin and Zi Ruyi were responsible for inviting (tricking) the Shui Family Sisters they had long set their sights on, while A Rou and Fox Consort went together to a farther and more dangerous place, supposedly to find a "very special plant."
"Plant?" Hearing this word, a name instantly flashed through Yu Qing's mind—Ah Yin, the mother of the Douluo Continent protagonist Tang San, a hundred thousand years Blue Silver Emperor transformation. In terms of "plants," none probably fit the criteria better than her.
"I hope everything goes well and they return safely," Yu Qing prayed silently. He made a secret decision: "I'll wait ten more days. If they still haven't returned after ten days, I'll go look for them myself!"
That night. After completing the daily "harmonization" with Purple Pearl, Yu Qing called over Duan Xin and Zi Ruyi. The four of them sat in a circle, palms touching, and began a deeper level of Yin Yang Conjunction Dual Cultivation.
The majestic spirit power and vast mental force blended perfectly among the three, bringing an improvement far exceeding one-on-one Dual Cultivation. After more than an hour, the session ended, and all three felt refreshed with further progress in their Cultivation.
Afterward, after soothing his two unsatisfied wives, he went to the study alone.
He closed his eyes and focused, his consciousness sinking into the sea of consciousness and entering the System space.
[yin yang points: 4,387,900]
Looking at the massive sum of yin yang points on the panel, which had broken the four-million mark, Yu Qing felt a sense of accomplishment. This was the accumulation of nearly eight months of "hard work" (regular Dual Cultivation and daily contributions from Dao Companions) between him and his companions!
"I hope I can roll a spatial storage item that can hold living things..." Yu Qing wished silently. With such a treasure, transplanting the Cloud-Shading Vine would be much more convenient.
Perhaps because he had saved up too much "money," the items refreshed in the System Mall this time were of significantly higher quality than before!
The dazzling array of goods made Yu Qing's head spin:
- Top-tier Medicinal Pills to boost strength and change Aptitude (Price: starting from 50,000 yin yang points).
- hundred thousand year spirit ring, Spirit Bone (Price: ranging from 150,000 to 300,000 yin yang points).
- There were even hundred thousand years spirit souls with intelligence that could choose their own masters (Price: 500,000 yin yang points!).
- Rare Spiritual Plants and rare metals seldom seen in the outside world... everything was there!
Yu Qing even saw a "ring ascension pill" that could directly increase the age of a spirit ring. Although one pill only increased it by a mere 500-1000 years, it could be used repeatedly, and the price was "very cheap"... only 10,000 yin yang points each.
"Buy! I'll buy one first to test the waters." Yu Qing's hand felt itchy, and he couldn't resist spending 10,000 points.
Unfortunately, after five consecutive refreshes, the "living spatial equipment" he longed for still hadn't appeared. However, Yu Qing wasn't discouraged. Since he had plenty of yin yang points, he could refresh it every day; there would always be a chance!
But looking at those top-tier treasures in the mall, Yu Qing's "shopping spree" heart began to stir.
"I have so many points anyway, I'll just buy a little, just a little," he comforted himself.
Thus, over the next few days, Yu Qing's "hands felt itchy" several times a day.
[Ding! Spent 150,000 yin yang points, successfully purchased hundred thousand years Mind Condensing Wisdom Skull]
[Ding! Spent 280,000 yin yang points, successfully purchased hundred thousand years Blazing Holy Dragon spirit ring]
[Ding! Spent 500,000 yin yang points, successfully purchased hundred thousand years Deep Sea Demon Whale spirit soul (Pending Contract)]
[Ding! Spent 50,000 yin yang points, successfully purchased Aptitude Transformation Pill x5]
[Ding! Spent 60,000 yin yang points, successfully purchased Spirit Bone Strengthening spirit source x3]
In just a few days, he lavishly spent over a million yin yang points. Various treasures that would drive outside Spirit Masters crazy were collected into his System warehouse like common cabbages.
Although he felt a bit of a sting later, looking at those glittering treasures in the warehouse, Yu Qing felt incredibly secure and satisfied. This was probably the joy of a "shopping spree"!
