“Big bully… I really can’t anymore. Let me rest for a while.”
Early the next morning, Huo Ling’er, her face still flushed, pushed weakly against Shi Hao, who was holding her in his arms.
“You really can’t?”
Seeing how exhausted she looked, Shi Hao couldn’t help feeling a little sorry for her.
“All right, then. Get some rest.”
Since Huo Ling’er truly couldn’t continue, he didn’t force her.
After all, there was someone else who could take over.
Shi Hao turned his gaze toward the little Vermilion Bird, who was quietly trying to slip away.
“My little bird, what are you trying to do?”
Hearing that devil-like whisper from behind, Vermilion Bird nearly burst into tears as she slowly turned around.
“Master… I can’t either. Please spare me.”
Although she possessed the cultivation of a peak Venerable Realm expert…
When it came to relationships between men and women, she was still completely inexperienced.
“Enough. Who are you trying to fool with that expression?”
Shi Hao didn’t insist.
He got up from between the two women.
“Take good care of Ling’er. I’m going out for a while.”
After instructing Vermilion Bird to look after Huo Ling’er, he changed into fresh clothes and left.
Watching Shi Hao depart, Vermilion Bird patted her chest.
“Master finally left.”
She then turned toward Huo Ling’er and crawled over beside her.
Looking at Huo Ling’er, who lay there limp as though she had melted into water, Vermilion Bird reached out and poked her rosy cheek with a finger.
The poke caused Huo Ling’er to slowly open her eyes.
“Stop that…”
She brushed Vermilion Bird’s hand away before pulling the blanket over her fair, delicate body.
“Looks like you’re still able to move.”
Seeing this, Vermilion Bird breathed a sigh of relief.
She then began whispering to Huo Ling’er about everything that had happened the previous night.
Huo Ling’er said nothing.
She simply focused on catching up on sleep.
Meanwhile…
After leaving Huo Ling’er’s room, Shi Hao walked next door to Willow Deity’s chamber.
“You’re awake.”
Willow Deity looked at him with a gentle smile.
Shi Hao nodded.
“Ling’er and Vermilion Bird really can’t continue. They’ll have to rest for now.”
Walking over, he lay down with his head resting on Willow Deity’s soft, full thighs.
The moment he looked up, his gaze was met by her magnificent curves.
Willow Deity looked down at Shi Hao resting on her lap and smiled.
“Girls are naturally more delicate. Besides, you’re much stronger than they are. You can’t blame them for being unable to keep up.”
Hearing her words, Shi Hao sighed.
“That’s why I could only come looking for you.”
As he spoke, he wrapped his arms around Willow Deity’s neck.
A faint blush appeared on Willow Deity’s face.
Still, she cooperatively lowered her head, and before long the two of them kissed.
After a long while, Shi Hao finally let her go.
“I’ve decided.”
“I need to bring home a few more wives.”
He thought of Qingyi and the Witch.
The Witch’s true body was in the Upper Realm, while only her spiritual incarnation remained in the Lower Realm.
Moreover, that incarnation was a nine-tailed fox.
She was exactly his type.
He had always liked foxes.
Hearing Shi Hao’s words, Willow Deity smiled.
“Of course. You can find as many wives as you like.”
“Do you need my help?”
She wholeheartedly supported Shi Hao in taking more wives.
After all, she knew that the purpose of his return was to spread his bloodline.
If that was the case, then naturally more women were needed to help him.
“No need.”
“I know where they are. I’ll go find them myself.”
Shi Hao declined her offer.
Although Willow Deity could easily capture them without him even leaving Stone Village…
That would be far too boring.
“When will you leave?”
Willow Deity asked.
“Would you like me to send you there?”
“No.”
Shi Hao shook his head.
“But right now… I’m feeling a little uncomfortable, so I’ll have to trouble you, Willow Deity.”
He spoke somewhat awkwardly.
Hearing this, Willow Deity gently drew Shi Hao into her embrace.
“Of course.”
As soon as she answered, she felt herself being lifted into his arms.
…
The following morning.
Willow Deity helped Shi Hao put on his clothes.
After exchanging a good-morning kiss, she watched him leave Stone Village once again.
No sooner had Shi Hao departed than Huo Ling’er and Vermilion Bird, both dressed in sleepwear, arrived at Willow Deity’s residence.
“Where’s the big bully?”
Huo Ling’er looked around the room and, not seeing Shi Hao, asked Willow Deity.
“Has Master already left?”
Seeing that Shi Hao wasn’t there either, Vermilion Bird guessed that he had already left the small world.
Smiling, Willow Deity answered them.
“Shi Hao has gone to find his other wives.”
“Ling’er, you don’t want to be the only one having children with Shi Hao, do you?”
“It’s better to have more sisters to share the responsibility.”
As she looked toward Huo Ling’er, surprise suddenly appeared on her face.
She hadn’t noticed it before.
Now that she looked carefully, she sensed a faint life aura inside Huo Ling’er’s body.
“Wait… Ling’er, come here. Let me examine you.”
Although she was confident she couldn’t be mistaken—after all, she was an Immortal King—she still found it difficult to believe.
Only one day had passed.
Hearing Willow Deity’s request, Huo Ling’er didn’t understand what was happening, but she obediently walked over.
Willow Deity gently placed a hand on Huo Ling’er’s abdomen.
Seeing this, Huo Ling’er froze.
“Wait… Lady Willow… don’t tell me she’s pregnant?”
“No way! It’s only been one day! How could it happen that fast?”
Vermilion Bird stared in disbelief.
“Even I find it hard to believe…”
“But the truth is that Ling’er really is pregnant.”
Willow Deity looked at Huo Ling’er gently.
“Congratulations, Ling’er.”
“You’re the first to conceive Shi Hao’s child.”
“You’re going to become a mother.”
Hearing Willow Deity’s congratulations, Huo Ling’er was completely stunned.
“R-Really?”
“I… I was only with the big bully for… for one night…”
“And I already have a baby?”
She simply couldn’t believe it.
She had only spent a single night with Shi Hao, yet she was already pregnant.
“Yes.”
“I know it’s hard to believe, but that’s the truth.”
“It may have something to do with Shi Hao’s special constitution.”
“His physique is extraordinary. Perhaps that’s why conception happened so quickly.”
Willow Deity could only attribute it to Shi Hao’s unique physique.
“You’re really pregnant?”
“My goodness… are you some kind of innate pregnancy saint body?”
Vermilion Bird stared at Huo Ling’er in astonishment.
Curious, she leaned over and pressed her ear against Huo Ling’er’s stomach, hoping to hear the tiny life inside.
“You won’t be able to hear anything yet.”
“It has only just begun to form.”
Seeing her reaction, Willow Deity smiled and shook her head.
Then she looked at Huo Ling’er warmly.
“Since you’re pregnant, this is the perfect opportunity.”
“I’ll cleanse your body, and at the same time strengthen the foundation of the child you’re carrying.”
“Come with me, Ling’er.”
Although Huo Ling’er still found it difficult to believe, she knew Willow Deity would never deceive her.
Which meant…
She truly was pregnant.
And she was the very first one.
Thinking of that, Huo Ling’er’s face turned bright red with embarrassment.
“Don’t be shy.”
“Hurry and follow Lady Willow.”
“This is a heaven-sent opportunity.”
Vermilion Bird quickly urged Huo Ling’er forward.
Meanwhile…
After leaving Stone Village, Shi Hao headed straight for the Stone Kingdom.
Before searching for the Witch’s spiritual incarnation…
He intended to settle the score with the Martial King Manor first.
Twenty years had passed.
It was finally time for reckoning.
Especially with the woman who had dug out his Supreme Bone.
He would make her repay it a hundredfold.
Shi Hao had already thought of a way to deal with her.
As that plan came to mind, the corners of his lips slowly curled into a smile.
