Gao Wu: A centenarian old man, many children and good fortune! Chapter 076

On the second morning after Liu Feiyan successfully conceived, the sky was just beginning to brighten.

Xiao Yan had just finished a night of meditation and recuperation and was about to get up when he heard a soft knock on his bedroom door.

He was a little surprised. At this hour, apart from the servants preparing breakfast, most of the women in the house were still resting, especially those who were pregnant.

“Come in,” he said.

The door was pushed open, and the person who walked in was Li Xiuying.

She was wearing a tight-fitting training suit, outlining her well-proportioned and powerful curves from long-term exercise. However, her face was a little pale, and her eyes had faint dark circles, clearly indicating a sleepless night. Her eyes were filled with anxiety, unwillingness, and a… nearly obsessive determination.

“Husband…” Li Xiuying walked up to Xiao Yan, her voice trembling imperceptibly, but her gaze was exceptionally firm. “I… I can still train! I feel… I feel particularly good today! You… you guide me one more time! Just one more time!”

Xiao Yan looked at his wife’s appearance and immediately understood seven or eight tenths of the situation.

The news of Liu Feiyan’s successful conception yesterday must have reached her ears.

Now, apart from her, the other six wives in the family (including Chen Yuyao’s second pregnancy and the five daughters of the Lin family) had all conceived again. Only she, the legitimate original wife, the woman who had accompanied him the earliest, had yet to show any signs.

The blow to her was imaginable.

Especially when she had just broken through to quasi-Warrior, full of confidence and eager to catch up with her husband’s pace, this feeling of “falling behind” and “not being needed” was undoubtedly extremely painful.

Looking at the deep anxiety and almost overflowing obsession in his wife’s eyes, Xiao Yan felt both pity and helplessness.

“Xiuying,” he got up, walked to his wife, gently held her cold hand, and said softly, “Cultivation cannot be forced. You have just broken through to quasi-Warrior, and your foundation is not stable. The most important thing is to progress step by step and stabilize your realm. Excessive pursuit, on the contrary, can easily harm yourself.”

He could feel that Li Xiuying’s qi and true essence were in an extremely excited yet unstable state, which was clearly caused by anxiety and forcibly activating her cultivation technique. High-intensity training in this state carried great risks.

“I know! I know all that!” Li Xiuying suddenly broke free from Xiao Yan’s hand, her eyes instantly reddened, her voice choked with tears, yet exceptionally stubborn. “But… but they all… they all have it! Only I don’t! Husband! Is it… is it that I’m too useless? Is it that I can’t even… can’t even bear children for you?!”

The more she spoke, the more agitated she became, tears rolling down like broken pearls. “I don’t want to be like this! I don’t want to just be a burden to you! I also want to share your burdens! I also want to bear more children for you! Husband! Please! Help me one more time! I can definitely do it! I can!”

Looking at his wife’s nearly collapsed and self-willed appearance, Xiao Yan’s heart felt as if it had been pricked by a needle. He knew that any words of persuasion at this moment would be like adding fuel to the fire for her. Her emotional knot had reached a critical point and had to be untied.

He was silent for a moment, looking at his wife’s tear-streaked face, which was full of obsessive determination. Finally, he sighed helplessly.

“Okay,” he nodded, his eyes becoming extremely serious and stern. “I’ll help you. But, you must promise me that you will listen to my command in everything! No independent thoughts! No forced activation of power! Once I tell you to stop, you must stop immediately! Otherwise, I will stop guiding you immediately! Understand?!”

He had to control the process in the strictest way to prevent his wife from hurting herself due to emotional agitation.

“Mm! I understand! I’ll listen to everything you say!” Li Xiuying saw Xiao Yan finally agree and immediately broke into a smile through her tears, nodding vigorously as if she had grasped the last straw.

…

Inside the training room.

The atmosphere was unprecedentedly solemn.

Xiao Yan’s expression was extremely focused. His powerful spiritual energy, like the most precise instrument, constantly enveloped Li Xiuying, sensing every subtle change in her qi and true essence.

He no longer gave any technical guidance but adopted the most stable and most mentally exhausting method for himself—true essence resonance and guidance.

He guided Li Xiuying back into a cultivation state, then, with his vast and pure Emperor-level true essence, he extremely cautiously probed into her body, like the gentlest stream, enveloping her faint and unstable nascent true essence.

He did not forcibly change its trajectory but, in a “resonance” manner, guided Li Xiuying’s true essence to circulate slowly and deeply along the path most suited to her physical state and most stable.

This process consumed a great deal of Xiao Yan’s spiritual energy, much more tiring than guiding the other women. He had to maintain high concentration at all times, precisely controlling the intensity and flow of his true essence, both to guide and nourish, and absolutely not to damage his wife’s fragile meridians due to excessive force.

Li Xiuying also felt this unprecedented experience. She felt as if she was in a warm and vast ocean of energy. The true essence within her, which was originally difficult to control, now became incredibly docile and active, like a child finding its mother, happily flowing and growing with that external, powerful, and gentle force…

She forgot her anxiety, forgot her obsession, and completely immersed herself in this wonderful resonance, feeling the slow transformation of her body and power.

Time passed bit by bit.

Sweat gradually seeped from Xiao Yan’s forehead. Li Xiuying’s face also developed a healthy blush due to the nourishment of energy.

After an unknown period, when Xiao Yan felt that Li Xiuying’s true essence had reached a relatively saturated and stable state, and that further guidance might be counterproductive, he slowly and very gently withdrew his true essence.

And just as he withdrew his true essence and was about to let Li Xiuying finish her cultivation and rest!

In his mind, that familiar system prompt, which he had been “waiting for with bated breath,” finally… sounded!

“Ding! Detected that the host’s bloodline has successfully continued again…”

“Congratulations to the host, wife [Li Xiuying] has successfully conceived! Child potential assessment in progress… This conception will continuously provide basic energy feedback.”

(New round of pregnancies 7/7)

It’s done!!!

All seven wives have successfully conceived!!!

Xiao Yan felt an indescribable ecstasy rush to his head instantly! This last piece of the puzzle was finally complete!

At the same time, Li Xiuying slowly opened her eyes. She had never felt so good! Her body was full of strength, and her mind was incredibly clear! More importantly, she could clearly feel that the anxiety and unease that had troubled her for many days seemed to have vanished with that wonderful cultivation just now!

She looked up at Xiao Yan, a relieved and heartfelt brilliant smile on her face.

However, the next second, when she saw the undisguised ecstatic smile on Xiao Yan’s face, she was slightly stunned. Immediately, a thought flashed through her mind like lightning!

Could it be… could it be…?!

Li Xiuying’s heart pounded! She subconsciously reached out to touch her lower abdomen. Although it was still flat, an extremely subtle, bloodline-connected, wonderful feeling seemed to be quietly growing!

She suddenly looked up at Xiao Yan, her eyes filled with unbelievable questioning and… immense surprise!

Xiao Yan looked at his wife’s surprised, joyful, and uncertain appearance, and could no longer hold back. He stepped forward, hugged her tightly, and whispered in her ear, in a voice full of joy and certainty:

“Yes, Xiuying, you… succeeded!”

“Waaah—!!!”

Confirming this fact, Li Xiuying could no longer control herself. She hugged Xiao Yan and burst into tears again! This time, all the grievances, anxieties, and unwillingness turned into tears of happiness, pouring out freely!

She finally… finally conceived her husband’s child again! She was not left behind! She was still an indispensable part of this family!

Xiao Yan held his sobbing wife tightly, feeling her excited emotions at this moment, his heart also surging!

All seven wives successfully conceived! All seven energy feedback sources activated!

He could clearly feel that the power within him, which had already been close to the critical point, was like being injected with the final and most crucial catalyst!

That barrier leading to Transcendent Ninth Grade, at this moment, emitted a crisp sound like shattering glass! Becoming unprecedentedly… fragile!

The breakthrough was imminent!!!
