I stood there awkwardly as Lumine gave me an indescribable expression.
"How... How did this happen?!" Xianyun/Cloud Retainer demanded as she looked between me and Shenhe.
Shenhe tilted her head to the side and then she said calmly. "Well Master, I love Jake very much, and thus as we went to Inazuma for his training trip, every day sometimes up to three or four times a day. Jake and I would copulate without fail."
My lips twitched at the calm report Shenhe gave without any embarrassment.
And then Xianyun just stared at Shenhe's gut. As though looking to see if she could see past her tight-fitting body glove to see her swelling womb.
But without any change in expression, Shenhe said with some confusion. "I am not so far along that you can see anything master."
There was a pause as Xianyun had to... Accept this information into her mind and Lumine decidedly had the best way to put it. "Whelp you practically raised Ganyu and Shenhe... Now you have evolved into a grandma-to-be."
And Cloud Retainer actually had a full body twitch as one hand came up to her full breast and covered it as she seemingly started counting her heartbeat.
"One... One was not expecting such information. Shenhe, One must ask though. Does he make you happy?" Xianyun asked as she tried to move things along onto a better path.
Shenhe then spoke with a small smile crossing her normally so expressionless face. "Yes Master, he does indeed make me quite happy. He takes care of me physically in keeping up with me in battle during our sparring, along with carnally satisfying me."
Before Xianyun could have a fucking stroke as Paimon facepalmed, Shenhe continued with her gazing at me with her multicolored opal eyes. "He also takes care of me spiritually. His nature solves my murderous intentions to the point that when I am laid bare with him, I need not have your soul-binding ropes keeping my murderous intent at bay."
"Shenhe... I mean to ask, do you love him?" Cloud Retainer asked desperately trying to move past her dense fucking disciple keep mentioning how I was plowing her adopted daughter every single day.
"Ah... Yes, I do love him. I would think it would be self-evident with how I decided to follow him to Inazuma and am now carrying his child. But yes Master, I do indeed love him." Shenhe calmly affirmed.
There was a groan from Xianyun as she seemingly came to term with all this before she inhaled and I blinked as she waved her hand with a floating teapot appearing on her large tea table.
"Well then... I am well aware of your nature Jake and Lumine." I froze as her wise gaze landed on the two of us before she continued. "The both of you are not the type to settle down. Something a child would most certainly need indeed. But this gift, myself and Madame Ping worked together to create will solve such issue with aplomb."
I quickly recognized the Serenitea Pot, that you were supposed to get from Madame Ping herself. Though it seemed to be painted slightly different then I recalled. "This is called the Serenitea Pot, one of the peak examples of the Adepti arts taken to their extreme.... Within this pot is a self-enclosed world that if treated carefully will remain self-sufficient like a terranium for multiple millennia."
Xianyun took a deep breath and looking between me and Shenhe she said firmly... And harshly. "Jake Bariss, This One is Shenhe's master, and it thus falls to this One to entreat you as her family. This Serenitea Pot will serve wonderfully as her wedding dowry and in return... I demand that you treat Shenhe well for however long as you life."
I put a hand to my chest and spoke firmly as I met the Adepti's eyes. "I swear I will do so Cloud Retainer."
There was a lull of silence as Cloud Retainer closed her eyes and seemingly calmed herself down. But then Paimon decided to open her big mouth.
"Sooo... Paimon is super curious, Shenhe, did you come up with any names yet?"
And hearing that Cloud Retainer snapped out of her trance as her eyes glazed over and she began muttering. "Names? One will have more little ones running about the mountain, but with them being but newborns will One need to make all their clothes... Ah what colors would fit them, One would need to obviously embroider the name of the child into their outfit, but One doesn't even know its gender yet."
I coughed loudly as it looked like Cloud Retainer was going to have a fucking fit at all the thoughts filling her head.
"Cloud Retainer, could you please show us how the Serenitea Pot works? I imagine we will also likely need to make it habitable correct?"
And that was the wrong damned thing to say as Cloud Retainer whined. "Oh, my Archons... One will need to make an actual nursery and toys for the poor thing!"
"Jake..." Lumine drawled and I looked down at the sassy blond beauty.
And Lumine's beautiful golden eyes stared into my soul as she whispered with hidden evil in her voice. "This bird needs a chick to take care of... Do it."
I gently poked Lumine in the forehead as I hissed out. "She has too strong of milf energy... It scares me."
There was an evil glint in Lumine's eyes as Paimon continued talking with Shenhe and Cloud Retainer with Lumine getting on her tip toes to whisper. "I know her type... She is already baby crazy at learning Shenhe is merely pregnant, it's going to get even better, and who do you think she will turn to when she lives all alone on this mountain and constantly comes to her pregnant disciple to come check on her?"
'I think you mean worse Lumine.' I thought dryly just as Cloud Retainer proudly spoke.
"The Serenitea Pot actually acts as a dimensional hub in reality, so anyone with an adepti seal along with having a vision or some way to manipulate spiritual energy will be able to use the seal to enter the Serenitea Pot no matter where you all go in Teyvat!"
Shenhe smiled and Cloud Retainer froze with her hands raising partly in shock and being unsure as Shenhe initiated a hug and spoke happily. "I am happy to hear that Master. In the coming months, I will likely need your care and will welcome you coming to check on me."
'I am fucking cooked.' I thought with a groan as I looked at Shenhe and Xianyun's body glove-clad voluptuous forms pressed together in a hug.
