“Big bully, why do you seem like a completely different person now?”
Sitting in Shi Hao’s arms, Huo Ling’er looked up at his remarkably handsome face.
“If I didn’t change, I wouldn’t be able to defeat those eerie creatures. I tried carrying everything on my own before, but I couldn’t bear it. So I changed my approach. This time, I won’t let any of you go. I’ll capture every one of you, have you give me lots of healthy, chubby children, and then let the children fight those eerie creatures. Isn’t it just a matter of numbers? I refuse to believe I can’t outnumber them.”
Shi Hao wasn’t the original Shi Hao.
There was no way he was going to choose the hellish route of fighting alone without any companions.
Now that he had transmigrated into Shi Hao’s body and replaced the original, he also possessed a cheat.
And that cheat happened to be the Many Children, Many Blessings System.
As long as he had children with women, he would gain a portion of each child’s strength.
In that case, all he needed to do was have children with the women he loved.
Besides, with so many beautiful women before him, was he supposed to leave them all alone?
Would that even make him a man?
He was a perfectly normal man.
Whenever he met a woman he liked, his first thought was to make her his wife, happily spend their lives together, have adorable children, and eventually let those children fight.
What if the children died?
No problem.
Once he reached the Immortal Emperor Realm, he’d simply bring them back.
He remembered the entire plots of Perfect World and everything that came afterward in Shrouding the Heavens.
So what looked like a hellish beginning was actually an incredibly enjoyable one.
Since that was the case, why shouldn’t he wholeheartedly accept all these lovely and beautiful heroines?
After hearing Shi Hao’s answer, Huo Ling’er’s heart ached for him.
From the future memories she had seen, Shi Hao had carried far too much on his shoulders.
Perhaps that was exactly why he wanted to relax a little now.
Thinking of this, a blush spread across her face.
“Big bully… if you want children… then I’ll give birth to them for you. Do you like girls or boys?”
In the future memories she had seen, she hadn’t seen herself having children with Shi Hao.
Instead, another woman named Yun Xi had borne his child.
Hearing Huo Ling’er’s question, Shi Hao smiled at the beauty in his arms.
“Either is fine. I like both. Though if it’s a girl, that would be even better. Girls are easier to raise. Of course, if it’s a boy, I’ll train him well and have him fight those eerie creatures.”
Seeing that Shi Hao preferred daughters, Huo Ling’er beamed with happiness.
“Th-then… how about I give you three daughters… and three sons?”
She spoke so softly it was almost a whisper, her face full of bashfulness.
Shi Hao pulled her closer and laughed.
“Only three? That’s nowhere near enough. We have all the time in the world. How about this—we have one every three years?”
As he spoke, he lifted her chin and kissed her soft, delicate lips.
Only after Huo Ling’er was nearly dizzy from the kiss did he finally let her go.
“One every three years? That’s way too many, you big bully.”
Panting softly, she complained with embarrassment.
She wasn’t a pig.
Who had children like that?
“All right then… how about one every ten years?”
The moment he finished speaking, he kissed her again.
Listening to the two of them flirting on her back, Vermilion Bird was utterly speechless.
Could the two of you at least spare a thought for me?
All she could do was speed up, hoping to reach Stone Village as soon as possible so she could get away from them.
However, she had still underestimated just how shameless Shi Hao could be.
She hadn’t expected him to want to cultivate together with Huo Ling’er right there on her back.
“Hey! Master! Could you at least think about me? And don’t start anything on my back! We’ll be back at Stone Village very soon!”
Seeing the two about to get carried away, Vermilion Bird quickly interrupted Shi Hao.
Only then did Huo Ling’er remember that she was still riding on Vermilion Bird’s back.
Realizing this, she shyly pushed Shi Hao away.
“Let’s wait until we get to Stone Village.”
After saying that, she buried her face in his chest.
Looking at Ling’er hiding in his embrace, Shi Hao reached out and lightly smacked Vermilion Bird several times.
This little bird really had no sense of romance.
He had finally managed to help Huo Ling’er relax, only for her to ruin the mood.
Feeling her master hitting her back, Vermilion Bird immediately cried out.
“Ow! Ow! That hurts!”
“What hurts? I wasn’t even using any strength.”
Hearing her exaggerated cries, Shi Hao’s face darkened.
“I’ll deal with you after we get back.”
After tossing out that remark, he hugged his new wife tightly and kissed her again.
Seeing Shi Hao completely absorbed in Huo Ling’er, Vermilion Bird immediately accelerated.
The sooner they returned to Stone Village, the sooner she could hide.
Thanks to her increased speed, it took less than half a day for them to reach Stone Village.
She landed beside the willow tree.
The moment they touched the ground, Vermilion Bird instantly transformed into human form and tried to make a quick escape.
Unfortunately, Shi Hao had already seen through her intentions.
With one hand, he grabbed the back of her neck.
“You ruined my mood earlier. Now you’ll make up for it instead. Don’t even think about running away. I’ll be giving my little bird some special attention.”
Hearing Shi Hao’s words, Vermilion Bird almost burst into tears.
“Please don’t, Master! I won’t dare do it again next time. Please let me go.”
She hurriedly begged for mercy.
“Crying won’t help. Crying still counts toward the time.”
Shi Hao grinned mischievously.
Then, holding the blushing Huo Ling’er while dragging Vermilion Bird along, he entered Willow Deity’s world.
As soon as they entered, they appeared inside Willow Deity’s palace.
Seeing Shi Hao return, Willow Deity slowly opened her enchanting eyes. New chapters come out on g.com first.
The instant her gaze fell upon Huo Ling’er, she immediately saw Huo Ling’er’s future.
“So… another sister from the future.”
She murmured softly.
Just then, Huo Ling’er rushed into her arms.
The moment she saw Willow Deity, Huo Ling’er broke free from Shi Hao’s embrace and threw herself into Willow Deity’s warm bosom.
“It’s Lady Willow! Lady Willow, you’re incredible! I saw everything. Thank you for saving me.”
She buried her face against Willow Deity’s chest.
The moment she met Willow Deity, even more memories of the future flooded into her mind.
Only then did she truly understand how great Willow Deity was and how much she had sacrificed for all living beings.
“It seems you’ve seen the future as well.”
Smiling gently, Willow Deity softly patted Huo Ling’er’s back.
“It should be because of me.”
Shi Hao released Vermilion Bird and sat down beside Willow Deity.
He then explained his theory to her.
“I see.”
“If that’s the case, things will be much easier in the future.”
Smiling, Willow Deity looked at Huo Ling’er in her embrace.
“Since she’s already seen her future, then the two of you should have children as soon as possible.”
“She—and perhaps Vermilion Bird as well—may find it easier than I did to become pregnant with your child.”
As she spoke, Willow Deity gently stroked Huo Ling’er’s head.
Hearing Willow Deity’s words, Huo Ling’er shyly looked up.
“I’ll leave everything to the big bully… but I’m a little scared… Lady Willow, could you help me?”
Blushing deeply, she lowered her head and asked in a tiny voice.
“Of course.”
“I helped Vermilion Bird before as well.”
“Don’t worry. Shi Hao is very gentle.”
After saying that, Willow Deity lifted Huo Ling’er into her arms before looking toward Shi Hao.
“Don’t worry, Ling’er. A cute wife like you deserves to be treated gently.”
Shi Hao reached out and gently caressed her cheek.
Standing nearby, Vermilion Bird silently rolled her eyes at Shi Hao’s words.
Gentle?
As if.
“Little Bird, come here.”
Shi Hao suddenly turned to look at Vermilion Bird.
Hearing his command, she immediately understood that her master wanted her to assist from the side.
Just as she had done before for Lady Willow.
“Understood, Master.”
A smile appeared on her face as she slowly walked toward Shi Hao.
