In the Spirit Lake Courtyard, warm rays of morning light streamed through the mist-veiled windows. Inside the chamber, a far more intimate silence lingered—one born from exhaustion and pleasure.
Li Chen stirred slowly. After fucking his two wives mercilessly at night, his body felt light, powerful, and deeply satisfied. Just as his eyes were about to open, a mechanical voice chimed in his mind.
> Ding!
Congratulations, Host, for dual cultivating with your Dao Partners.
Rewards:
— Host's cultivation improved: +4 minor realms

A grin tugged at the corners of Li Chen's lips. "Four minor realms just from one night of threesome?"
The system continued.
> Congratulations, Host, for completing a hidden task:

Li Chen sat up slightly, his naked body still entangled with his two sleeping beauties. He stared at the virtual panel floating in his vision.
> This… this is insane.
It was the first time since he was born that he'd received so many powerful gifts at once. Just the cultivation improvement alone was enough to send most cultivators into frenzy.
Then came the system's smug little remark.
> Host,
you should step out of your impoverished mindset.
Keep up the good work. Continue adding new family members and caring for your wives and children, and you'll receive even more rewards.
Li Chen's eyebrow twitched.
"What the fuck did you just say? I'm impoverished?"
He paused. Then sighed, rubbing his temples.
"Well… you're not wrong. I'm not poor in the head, but yeah—materially? Kinda."
His eyes wandered back to the system interface. A new thought struck him.
"Hey system, can I get points every time I sex with my two wives together?"
>
No.
Host, this system not have that kind of bugs.
Hidden rewards only trigger when you surpass previous records or satisfy new conditions.
"Tch… disappointing." But the system added a note.
> However, if the number of women increases, or if special milestones are reached, hidden tasks may unlock.
A grin split Li Chen's face. "That's what I wanted to hear."
His gaze drifted to the two sleeping women by his sides. Su Lingxue nestled on his right, her head resting against his chest. Yu Qingci lay on his left, her breath soft, warm against his skin. Their bare breasts pressed tightly against him, nipples hard, as if clinging to the warmth of his body even in sleep.
He smiled warmly.
"They want me to protect them," he murmured, gazing the four breasts laid on him.
With utmost gentleness, he caressed their soft faces, brushing stray strands of hair behind their ears. Then, his hand slid downward, stroking their flat bellies. His fingertips traced the skin slowly, reverently.
The two women stirred. Their eyes fluttered open, hazy with sleep but glowing with warmth as they looked into his.
Li Chen leaned down, placed a kiss on each of their foreheads, then whispered:
"Lingxue, Qingci… you both will become mothers soon."
"What…?" Su Lingxue blinked in disbelief. It didn't even pass two years, and now she got pregnant again.
"Is it because of my constitution?" She muttered to herself but her thoughts contradicted when her gazes met with Yu Qingci's.
Yu Qingci sat up in shock. "Impossible," she said, shaking her head. "That can't be. My body… it was altered by my cultivation method. It's hard to conceive, even trace remnants of that immortal body remain."
Li Chen chuckled softly, then answered carefully.
"I could feel it. From your bellies… there's a resonance, a warmth I've never felt before."
Upon hearing his answer, neither of them questioned further. Instead, they simply lay back down, their arms wrapping around him tighter. They knew what it was meant.
Li Chen, however, couldn't resist teasing. He smirked and slid his hands down their smooth backs, cupping their thick, soft asses. His fingers dipped lower, playing at the edges of their tight little ass holes.
"Well," he muttered with a wicked grin, "Looks like I'll have to change my cock's direction from now on."
The two women burst into laughter, their cheeks flushed from the filthy joke of his.
Su Lingxue giggled. "Then Husband will have to work even harder from now on…" Her fingers gently stroked his flaccid but meaty cock, coaxing it with light touches.
Suddenly, her eyes widened.
"Ah! Xuan'er must be waking soon! I need to go!"
She pulled away from Li Chen's embrace and stood up, her full, naked body on full display as she rushed to find a robe. Her hair was messy from the night's passion, but even in her haste, she looked ethereal.
Li Chen watched her with amusement, then called out, "Wife! Tell that brat he's going to become a big brother. He better start cultivating seriously before his little siblings catch up."
Lingxue paused while fixing her hair in the mirror, then smiled.
"I understand, Husband."
She walked off, leaving Yu Qingci and Li Chen alone in bed. They both hugging eachother like inseparable monkeys.
Yu Qingci remained silent. She gently traced the little strands of hair on his chest, circling them with her fingertip. Her expression was… distant. Reflective.
Li Chen looked at her curiously. "Dear… are you not happy?"
She blinked and snapped out of her daze. "No, I'm happy. Truly… I just…" She looked down, voice trembling. "I never thought I'd become a mother. I mean—give birth to a real child. My own flesh…"
Her voice faded.
Memories rose unbidden—ghosts from a darker past. Faces of those who betrayed her. Those who took everything from her… and still lived.
She placed her hand gently on her flat belly.
"Child… mother will always protect you. I will protect our family," she whispered, her voice darkening. Her gaze lifted, piercing through the window toward Li Xuan's room then Li Chen's handsome visage.
"If anyone dares to touch us… I'll kill him. And his entire clan will pay the price." She clenched her soft fist.
A sharp light flashed in her eyes. An unshakeable resolution formed in her heart—a vow etched in blood and fire.
Li Chen remained blissfully unaware of the storm brewing within her heart.
He simply smiled, kissed her temple, and held her close.
Meanwhile, in the Frost Cloud Pavilion...
Inside the Matriarch's Hall, Chu Ying stood alone.
She had just finished reporting the marriage arrangements between Chu Yao and Wu Ming to the Pavilion's inner council.
Afterward, she ordered the disciples to begin the necessary preparations for the morning ceremony.
The elders accepted her commands without resistance, and the disciples moved swiftly.
Yet… as the grand doors of the hall closed behind them, Chu Ying stood frozen in place, her hands trembling slightly at her sides.
A strange chill brushed down her spine—not from the cold air, but from deep within her soul.
A palpitation, subtle yet terrifying, surged through her very being.
Her chest tightened.
Her instincts whispered of something… terribly wrong.
She raised a hand to her heart and whispered quietly to the empty room:
"I just… I just hope everything will settle down smoothly."
Her voice carried no conviction. Only worry.
Unseen to her, the faint black mark that had bloomed on her neck earlier that day pulsed once, then faded into silence again.
