Duan Xin and Zi Ruyi looked at the wrinkled yet incredibly precious infants in their arms with exhaustion and satisfaction. They lightly returned a kiss on Yu Qing's cheek and then, unable to resist the overwhelming wave of drowsiness, they fell into a deep sleep, embracing each other.
Yu Qing carefully took the two children and signaled for the others in the room to withdraw for the time being, leaving only their family of four.
He sat by the bedside, holding the two soft, warm little lives in his arms. His heart was filled with an indescribable, wonderful feeling; these were his children, the continuation of his Bloodline.
Yu Qing clumsily yet incredibly gently adjusted his posture to make the little ones lie more comfortably.
The two little ones seemed to sense their father's presence. They didn't cry or fuss; they only occasionally raised their tender pink hands, waving them unconsciously and making small "yi-yi ya-ya" sounds. Their large, dark eyes were half-open and half-closed, curiously observing this strange World and the "adult" holding them.
Yu Qing's heart practically melted, and his eyes shimmered with unprecedented tenderness and light. He couldn't help but touch their little cheeks extremely lightly with his finger, whispering meaningless, love-filled murmurs.
He just sat there quietly holding them, enjoying the tranquility and joy of being a first-time father, as if time itself had slowed down its pace for this moment.
This embrace lasted for nearly four hours.
It wasn't until the afterglow of the sunset filtered through the window frame, coating the room in a layer of warm gold, that Duan Xin and Zi Ruyi slowly woke up. They sat up gradually and the first thing they saw was Yu Qing standing by the window with his back to them, holding the children. He seemed to be making some strange and cute movements, making the two children emit small, pleasant whimpers.
Seeing their husband's silly, fatherly appearance, which was completely different from his usual steady and majestic demeanor, the two women looked at each other and smiled, their hearts filled with endless happiness and warmth.
"Husband, let me hold the baby," Zi Ruyi spoke softly, her voice still carrying a hint of postnatal weakness.
"Hehe, I want to hold one too!" Duan Xin also reached out impatiently.
Yu Qing turned around upon hearing them, a bright smile on his Face. He walked to the bedside in a few steps and gently placed the two children into their respective mothers' arms.
"It's a boy," Duan Xin looked down at the son in her arms, whose features vaguely resembled Yu Qing's, her Face overflowing with a smile of happiness and pride. "In the future, he will surely grow into a powerhouse who can hold up the heavens like his father!"
Zi Ruyi looked at the delicate Face of the daughter in her arms, who looked more like herself. A fleeting hint of loss flashed through her eyes as she sighed softly, "It's a girl..."
Yu Qing keenly captured her fleeting emotion and immediately sat on the edge of the bed, gently putting his arm around her shoulder. His tone was incredibly certain and tender, "What's wrong with a girl? My daughter will surely be a presence who is no less than any man! I will make sure she has everything beautiful in the World."
Zi Ruyi leaned into Yu Qing's embrace, still a bit worried. "But... a girl eventually has to get married. Thinking about her leaving us in the future to go to someone else's house..."
Yu Qing's gaze sharpened, and his tone carried an unquestionable dominance. "I'll see who dares to easily covet my daughter! How could a mere mortal be worthy of my precious pearl?"
In short, the core idea was that anyone who wanted to hit on his daughter must be tired of living!
Duan Xin also smiled and comforted her from the side, "Sister Ruyi, a daughter is good too. She'll be a thoughtful little sweetheart, not as naughty and troublesome as a boy."
Zi Ruyi tilted her head and thought of Xiao Wu, who was increasingly acting like a 'leader of the kids,' and Dugu Yan, who was somewhat lawless from being spoiled by Yu Qing and Dugu Bo. She couldn't help but chuckle. She looked down at her drowsy daughter and said softly, "Daughter, you must be more quiet and refined in the future..."
In this way, the three of them chatted for a long time about the gender of their son and daughter, their future training directions, and other topics, with a warm and sweet family atmosphere filling the air.
Until the two children in their arms seemed to sense something and suddenly opened their little mouths together, crying out "wa-wa." The loud crying instantly shattered the warm atmosphere.
The three of them were suddenly a bit flustered. Fortunately, at this time, the experienced Mother Zi arrived upon hearing the sound. She knew the reason at a glance and explained with a smile, "The children are hungry; it's time to nurse them."
Only then did Yu Qing realize the situation.
Duan Xin and Zi Ruyi's Faces turned slightly red. They shyly turned their backs, unbuttoned their clothes, and began to nurse the children.
Yu Qing still sat on the edge of the bed as if nothing was wrong, his gaze tenderly watching the scene of his wives nursing. Looking at their bosoms, which appeared even fuller and more plump due to nursing, an absurd and flirtatious thought couldn't help but flash through his mind... he even subconsciously swallowed his saliva.
His gaze was too direct, causing the two nursing women to blush instantly, their Faces and even their ears turning completely red.
Duan Xin plucked up her courage and, with a voice as quiet as a mosquito, made an invitation filled with infinite shyness: "Husband... if... if you want to drink too... you can..."
Zi Ruyi was so ashamed that she buried her Face even lower, almost not daring to look at Yu Qing, but a secret hint of expectation inexplicably welled up in her heart.
Hearing this, Yu Qing's old Face turned red, and he quickly looked away, forcing himself to stay calm with two dry coughs. "Non... nonsense! Am I the kind of person who would fight with my son and daughter for food?"
Seeing his duplicitous and forced serious appearance, the two women couldn't help but burst into laughter, and the shyness in their hearts dissipated quite a bit. They knew Yu Qing all too well; this guy was very "greedy" in certain aspects and was definitely just being stubborn about his Face right now.
"Husband," Duan Xin quickly changed the subject to ease the ambiguous atmosphere, "have you thought of names for our son and daughter?"
"Yes, names. Has husband thought of them?" Zi Ruyi also looked up at him expectantly.
Yu Qing had already given it deep thought and said with a smile, "The boy will be called Dragon Yu. May he be like a hidden dragon emerging from the abyss in the future, soaring through the Nine Heavens."
"The girl will be called Sandalwood Yu. Sandalwood is a precious fragrant wood; it is resilient and its fragrance reaches far. I hope our daughter will be like sandalwood, with a resilient heart and noble character, naturally fragrant, and living a life of peace and joy."
"Dragon Yu... Sandalwood Yu..." The two women softly repeated the two names, their eyes showing deep affection and approval.
"Good names!" Duan Xin nodded happily.
"Thank you, husband. The names are very beautiful," Zi Ruyi also responded tenderly.
In this way, the names of the two little ones were officially decided.
Yu Qing stayed with the two women until late at night. Seeing that the children had fallen peacefully asleep, he stood up, preparing to leave quietly and return to his own room to rest.
However, just as he stood up, his sleeve was lightly pulled by a slightly cool hand.
Yu Qing turned back and saw that Duan Xin had opened her eyes at some point. She was looking at him with watery eyes, her gaze flowing with unshakeable affection and a hint of... desire.
"Husband..." Her voice carried the weakness characteristic of being postpartum, yet it also had a hint of seductive charm, "Shall we harmonize?"
Zi Ruyi on the other side had also woken up. She gently hugged Yu Qing's waist from behind, pressing her cheek against his back. Her voice was soft and sweet, yet contained endless emotion: "Husband... we... haven't harmonized for nine months... tonight... don't leave, okay?"
Yu Qing suddenly felt a headache coming on and helplessly rubbed his forehead. "You two... you just gave birth, and your bodies are still weak. How can you think about harmonizing so soon? Nonsense!"
Duan Xin pulled his sleeve and shook it gently, acting spoiled. "Just once... Husband, just once... gently... okay?"
Zi Ruyi also hugged him tighter, her two short words seemingly exhausting all her tenderness and expectation: "Husband..."
Yu Qing was worn down by them until he lost his temper, so he could only ask, "Then... what about the children? Who will take care of them tonight?"
Duan Xin gave a somewhat embarrassed and silly smile. "In a moment... Aunt Zi will come and take them away..."
Zi Ruyi also said in a low voice, "Mother said... she will take them tonight... and let us... rest well..."
Yu Qing: "..." He was suddenly caught between laughter and tears. Good grief! It turned out these two had planned this long ago! Even the "logistics work" had been clearly arranged! This was truly... the children were just an accident, and the parents were the true love?
Looking at the two women's eyes filled with expectation and love, Yu Qing finally softened his heart. He sighed and nodded helplessly yet dotingly, "Fine... tonight I will... accompany you to harmonize once. We agreed, only once!"
"Mm-mm!" The two women immediately nodded like chickens pecking at rice, their Faces blooming with bright smiles of successful scheming.
Soon, Mother Zi walked in quietly. She looked at the happy Duan Xin and then at her own daughter, whose Face was shy but whose eyes were bright. As someone who had been through this, how could she not understand what was happening? In the end, it could only turn into a long sigh of helplessness and indulgence: "Sect Leader... tonight... please... be gentle... they just finished giving birth, and their bodies are still weak..."
Yu Qing was so embarrassed that he wanted to curl his toes into the floor. He could only bite the bullet and respond, "...Yes, Mother-in-Law, don't worry, I know my limits."
Mother Zi then nodded and carefully picked up the two sweetly sleeping little ones. With a kind smile on her Face, she left the room contentedly. To her, being able to hold her grandson and granddaughter was happier than anything else.
The door closed gently.
Inside the room, only Yu Qing and his two charming wives remained.
The atmosphere instantly became ambiguous and flirtatious.
Yu Qing took a deep breath, suppressed the restlessness in his heart, turned around, and extremely gently pulled the two women into his arms. His movements were slow and precious, as if he were treating the most fragile treasures in the World.
"Tonight... only to help you recover your Origin Qi and consolidate your Foundation... you're not allowed to be greedy, do you understand?" Yu Qing's voice was low and gentle.
"Mm... we'll listen to husband..." The two women responded softly and proactively offered their sweet kisses.
That night, Yu Qing was extremely gentle, turning the Power of Life into the softest trickles during the process of exchange, nourishing his two wives' slightly depleted postpartum bodies, repairing subtle damages, and warming their Meridians and spirit power.
After two extremely gentle and deep sessions of Yin-Yang Harmonization, Duan Xin and Zi Ruyi not only didn't feel the slightest bit of fatigue but instead felt comfortable all over. Their entire bodies were warm, as if soaking in a warm spiritual spring. Some of the postpartum discomfort and weakness were swept away, and their spirit power even became a bit more condensed. They leaned contentedly in Yu Qing's arms, their cheeks flushed and their eyes like water, enjoying this long-awaited pleasure and warmth.
Yu Qing looked at his two lovely wives in his arms, who were full of satisfaction and as beautiful as flowers. With a thought, he took out two gifts he had prepared for them long ago from his spirit tool.
He handed the dark gold classic, Heavenly Dragon Transformation, which emitted a vast dragon prestige and had a cover that seemed to be inlaid with dragon scales, to Duan Xin. Then, he gave the purple treasure pearl, the star spirit pearl, which seemed to have countless stars flowing inside and emitted a deep suction force, to Zi Ruyi.
"Husband, this is...?" Zi Ruyi took the warm star spirit pearl, curiously feeling the strange star power contained within.
Yu Qing explained with a smile, "This is the star spirit pearl, an extremely rare natural treasure. After refining it, your Purple Cloud Vine Spirit will possess the ability to actively absorb star power and can condense a special spiritual item called the Star Spirit Fruit within the Spirit.
"This kind of spiritual fruit, when consumed by a Spirit Master below the Spirit King level, can unconditionally increase spirit power by 1-2 levels. If it is absorbed by a plant-type Spirit of the same source or type, it can slightly increase the quality of that Spirit (only effective for Intermediate and lower quality Spirits, with a maximum increase to high-level Spirit quality). If it can be nourished by star power for a long time, perhaps even more powerful fruits can be born in the future."
Upon hearing this, Zi Ruyi's beautiful eyes instantly lit up. She held the star spirit pearl, unable to put it down. "This... this is so amazing?! Thank you, husband!" She seemed to have already seen the future scene of low-level Disciples of the Yin Yang Sect growing rapidly because of this, as well as the possibility of her own Spirit further evolving!
Duan Xin also quickly finished reading the introduction of the Heavenly Dragon Transformation. She was so shocked by the grand description of "Nine Transformations into a Dragon, Mastering the Law" that she was beyond words! She looked up excitedly, her voice even trembling a little, "Husband! This... this Cultivation Technique... can it really let me eventually... become an Incarnation of a true dragon?!"
Yu Qing nodded with certainty, "Yes! This method is a secret transmission of the Dragon Clan with infinite potential. As long as you persevere in your cultivation, you will surely be able to shed your mortal coil, become a true dragon, and become a true powerhouse!"
"Husband! You're so good!" Duan Xin was so excited she couldn't contain herself. She hugged Yu Qing and kissed and bit him, her passion like fire. If it weren't for Yu Qing's strict order that tonight was only once, she would probably have immediately been unable to resist taking charge and having another hearty "celebration"!
After the excitement passed, Zi Ruyi suddenly thought of something and asked with some concern, "Husband, you gave such precious treasures to us... then what about yourself?"
Hearing this, Yu Qing felt a warmth in his heart and comforted her with a smile, "Silly girl, since you have them, your husband naturally has even better ones. Rest assured and take them!"
Hearing him say this, the two women finally felt completely at ease and lay back into his warm embrace, feeling the happiness of being deeply loved.
"After some more time, when your bodies have completely recovered and your state has been adjusted to its best," Yu Qing gently stroked the two women's still smooth backs, planning for the future, "I will take Xiner to hunt for a spirit ring. After Xiner obtains her sixth spirit ring, I will use some stored resources to help you both raise your spirit power directly to level seventy."
"At that time, I will help you both condense a spirit core together and promote to Spirit Saint!"
Hearing this, a brilliant light erupted in the two women's eyes! Spirit Saint! That was a height they once didn't even dare to think about! Now, with their husband's help, it was already close at hand!
"Yes! We will listen to all of husband's arrangements!" The two women said in unison, their voices filled with infinite trust and expectation.
Yu Qing also had his own plans. Once the two women reached level seventy and their mental force was strong enough, he could try to let them contract a spirit soul... Seven days passed quickly.
Under the continuous nourishment of the Thousand Refinements Method, Medicinal Cuisines, and Yu Qing's Power of Life, Duan Xin and Zi Ruyi had already passed their weakest postpartum stage. At this time, their complexions were rosy, their Spirits were full, and the spirit power in their bodies had become more refined and active. Their state was incredibly good.
Duan Xin's spirit power was at the level sixty Bottleneck, only one suitable spirit ring away from a Breakthrough. Zi Ruyi's spirit power had even reached the level sixty-six, her Foundation being extremely solid.
