During this period, Xiao Jietian left Xiao Ding and Xiao Li and used two Physique Cards on them.
Xiao Ding awakened the Azure Wood Spirit Body, while Xiao Li awakened the Thunder Spirit Body. Both of their strengths increased significantly, breaking through to the Dou Ling stage.
In his free time, Xiao Jietian merged with the Yin-Yang Fusion Cauldron. He felt as if he could now balance all energy between heaven and earth. After that, he began fusing with the three new heavenly flames he had received from the System. However, since these flames were extremely powerful, they required some time to fully integrate. Eventually, the cauldron merged with both his soul and body.
Returning to the Eternal Heaven World, Xiao Jietian continued to accompany the two women in the pavilion, acting cautiously.
"It's only been a month; you don't need to be so careful. Besides, we are all cultivators, so there won't be any problems," one of the women said.
Hearing their words, Xiao Jietian scratched his head awkwardly but remained as cautious as ever.
"Host, I suggest you use a Physique Card now. This way, your child can absorb innate energy while in the embryo, which can transform their physique into an Innate Physique and even cause mutations, resulting in a stronger physique," the System's voice echoed in Xiao Jietian's mind.
Xiao Jietian was stunned. The difference between innate and acquired was huge. Among the physiques rewarded by the System, only his Five Elemental Thunder Dragon God Body was innate; the ones he had helped them awaken were all acquired.
The gap between innate and acquired was vast, much like the difference between Innate Treasures and Acquired Treasures in the myths and legends before his transmigration—worlds apart.
"You mean they already have special physiques?" Xiao Jietian asked.
"Yes, Host. Both of them have special physiques. It could be part of your physique, or the woman's, or even a combination of both," the System explained.
"Moreover, the energy from these two cards can also protect the child from harm."
The System's mechanical voice resonated in Xiao Jietian's mind. Surprisingly, he didn't find it cold at all; in fact, he found it rather pleasant.
Xiao Jietian directly took out two cards, which glowed with a mysterious aura.
The two women noticed the cards and asked curiously, "Little Brother Xiao Jietian, what are these two cards?"
"These two cards can help our children awaken special physiques. This way, they will be at the peak of talent from birth," Xiao Jietian explained.
The women's eyes lit up. Who wouldn't want their future children to be exceptionally talented? Their excitement was so overwhelming that they threw themselves into Xiao Jietian's arms, silently shedding tears.
After gently comforting them, Xiao Jietian placed one card on each of their bellies. The cards transformed into streams of light and entered them.
While they chatted, Queen Medusa and Qing Lin also rushed back upon hearing the news. Even with Medusa's cold and alluring nature, she couldn't help but continuously feel the two women's bellies, her face full of curiosity.
"Fei Yan, if you like children so much, why don't you have one yourself?" Ya Fei teased, making Medusa's face flush. She pretended not to hear and continued feeling the faint auras inside.
"Hmph, this King has no interest in that. Why is your belly still so flat?"
Fei Yan, a centuries-old naive and sweet girl, asked curiously, not understanding these things.
"It's just starting to form; it will take at least another four months or so before it shows," Yun Yun explained with a smile, occasionally glancing at Xiao Jietian while Qing Lin touched Yun Yun's belly.
Xiao Jietian sat on the side, watching the interactions, then looked at Qing Lin: "Qing'er, it's not suitable for you right now. Your physique is constantly strengthening and changing your body. Wait until it stabilizes before we talk about this."
Xiao Jietian gently pulled Qing Lin into his arms to comfort her.
"Oh~ I'll listen to you, Young Master," she replied softly.
"Why isn't she kicking me? I read in those books that children move around and kick people inside," Queen Medusa said.
Medusa alternately leaned on Ya Fei's and Yun Yun's bellies. Her clear, cold words carried a hint of innocence, and her face was full of confusion.
"Fei Yan, it's just an embryo right now; it hasn't even formed fully. How could it kick you?" Xiao Jietian said, placing his hand gently on Medusa's head.
"Hmph, this King naturally knows; you don't need to tell me," Medusa said with a small snort.
"Those books described it so vividly; this King was really looking forward to feeling those little feet moving around," she added.
Medusa directly slapped Xiao Jietian's hand away, snorting lightly.
"Sister Fei Yan, why would you read such a book?" Qing Lin asked, noticing the key point and smiling curiously.
Medusa froze, flustered, and stammered, "I… I just happened to… happen to see it before."
"Yes, that's right, it was just by chance," she added hastily.
Everyone laughed at Medusa's insincere expression. She was almost at her wit's end, struggling to maintain her image. Did I have to say I secretly overheard their conversation about wanting a child and then went to find books on children? Medusa thought bitterly. I, Queen Medusa, am the King of the Snake-People Tribe; how could I ruin my image? Hmph.
"You all just sit here and don't move. I'm going to bring Xun'er in," Xiao Jietian said. He put Qing Lin down from his lap and left the Eternal Heaven World, intending to bring her in personally rather than using a message stone.
…
On the mountain peak where the Xiao Family was stationed, Xiao Zhan trembled with excitement upon hearing the news Xiao Ding brought back.
"Am I going to be a grandfather? Haha~" Xiao Zhan laughed loudly, then suddenly ran to the ancestral tablets and his wife's tablet, lighting three incense sticks as he spoke continuously.
…
After Xiao Jietian went outside and told Xun'er about the matter, Xun'er pinched him hard, then directly entered the Eternal Heaven World.
Her pinch was merciless; Xiao Jietian felt as if that part of his flesh no longer belonged to him.
When Xiao Jietian returned, Xun'er was already chatting with the others. The five women laughed and talked, their voices occasionally erupting into clear, melodious laughter.
Xiao Jietian watched quietly, choosing not to disturb them.
He then went to the alchemy room and mentally flipped through alchemy books, searching for pills that could nourish the fetus and strengthen the women's bodies.
As a new father, Xiao Jietian naturally wanted to give them the best of everything.
He found two types of pills, both Grade 6 intermediate, and immediately went to the storerooms of the Boundless Heaven Hall and the auction house. Using his own reserves, he gathered four sets of medicinal ingredients—two sets for each type of pill—and began refining them.
This time, he was extremely careful and focused. A single mistake would require him to gather the ingredients again.
Suddenly, a powerful heaven-and-earth anomaly erupted in Xiao Jietian's palace, sending a pillar of light shooting straight into the sky.
The five women, still chatting, turned to look at his palace.
"Is Little Brother Xiao Jietian refining pills?" Xun'er asked thoughtfully.
Given Tian Ge's personality, she guessed, "He's probably refining pills that are useful for you."
They remembered how loving and caring Xiao Jietian always was, often prioritizing their needs over his own. The women exchanged glances, all unconsciously smiling sweetly—even Medusa.
Medusa, however, seemed to recall something and silently cursed Xiao Jietian in her heart.
