Edrick delivered a direct, straight punch to Yin’s stomach. It felt as though he hit a solid stone wall… Even with his various strength boosts, his fifth wife’s focus on defences proved to still be impenetrable, especially when it came to dealing with blunt force trauma. Even when Anoteros wielded the Arm Of Depravity in the form of a mace or any other weapon focused on dishing out purely concussive force–It would have no effect on her whatsoever.

Be it her stomach, chest, or even joints–Which were positioned to be as easily damaged as possible–It simply did nothing to her, and it was glorious to watch. Her gorgeous, muscular, and alluring body was a true fortress.

The combination of Impenetrable Shell Constitution, Snapping Turtle Blade Style, and her third technique–Rythm Of Spirit, proved to be marvellous. Yin was a true wonder of cultivation, despite having no noble background. She was the exact kind of hidden genius that great clans were happy to take in. 

‘She’ll definitely carry strong offspring’

Though it was important to mention that there was one kind of damage that she was noticeably less resistant to compared to the rest–Hacking damage. The forceful, sharp blow of a cleaver, axe, or the like was much more likely to actually cut into her skin… Of course, the injuries left weren’t much, and with her strong vitality, she would quickly recover… It was nonetheless a weakness she was very focused on fixing.

Hence, these one-on-one training sessions with her husband would be ones where she would take full-powered hits from Edrick all over her body for hours on end, all to progress in her body cultivation technique. It was also a way to earn ‘insight’ in how to better deal with different types of damage.

These sessions had a strong tendency to end with passionate lovemaking due to the fact that Yin would get turned on from the whole ordeal…

She and Hui really made for quite the duo in bed with their shared affection for rather extreme Tormentophilism. They had literally designated themselves as ashtrays for Edrick to use whenever he desired.

In any case, once the training session ended and the patriarch gave Yin his special protein, the two sat side-by-side. His fifth wife was petting Vulpalis, who had decided to jump onto her lap. The albino Laughing Fox had made herself at home quickly and had proven herself to be a great enthusiast about being scratched in between the ears and receiving belly rubs from everyone.

Anoteros stroked his bestial companion’s tail. She had actually made herself useful with her abilities just recently. Vulpalis had used her mind control powers on the old man to incite him to want to lie with his Grand-Allina.

The scion had been very pleased with this application of Vulpalis’s ability, and he was looking forward to manufacturing more of these scenarios in the future. He found them to be very entertaining to watch and partake in.

“Say, Edrick… How many children do you think we’ll have together?”

“Mmh… Hard to give a precise number, to be honest. We’ll live for a long time, so even accounting for the fact that you need time to cultivate without distraction… At least a few hundred. Probably more since our fertility is through the roof. You’ll probably have twins, or even more than that at times… Why do you ask?”

“No particular reason. It is just that… Well, before meeting you, I had always thought that I was going to end up with another woman. The idea of having children had never crossed my mind at all. I had accepted that it just wouldn’t happen for me. At least not the typical way…”

“Now, though? I know for a fact that I am going to be bred thoroughly by you–And I can’t help but feel a bit nervous about it. This thing I had once thought would never happen to me… Pregnancy–It is something I am going to be going through many times now. Am I good enough to be a mother? Will I be able to carry strong offspring? Are my techniques going to get in the way?”

“Especially the last point… My techniques have made me incredibly tough and resilient, but I truly wonder if I am not too tough down here… Your sceptre can handle the crushing just fine, but what about when I give birth? Won’t it be dangerous for a baby? I looked into it, and there are some horror stories about women practising body cultivation trying to give birth, only for their superior physique to backfire in the worst way possible…”

Edrick reached out and caressed his wife’s face.

“You don’t have to worry about this. We are the Elt clan, you’ll have the best midwives available to help you”

Some of the boons he had acquired also affected birth-giving capabilities, so risks were mitigated.

Anoteros knew of his wives’ concerns ahead of time without fail thanks to the crests, so he wasn’t surprised when she spoke up. However, he had indeed been a bit surprised when he had first learned of this piece of information. Yin had not struck him as the kind to worry so early on about pregnancy.

He supposed that the prospect of motherhood had given her many things to think about… However, as she had just said, before submitting to him, she had been seeking a relationship with a woman. Hence, getting pregnant had not been a concern at all… Being introduced to the eventuality of bearing offspring had certainly made her brain churn about what it meant for her.

“…Besides, with your strong body and mine, I am certain that any child of ours would be tough straight out of the oven. So don’t worry, Sweetheart. Nothing bad will happen when you give birth, not the first time, nor the one-hundredth time, or the many other times that will follow, alright?”

“You can trust your husband on that”

Yin nodded as Edrick gave her a kiss on the lips.

“I love you, Edrick~”

The couple stayed together quietly for a long while.

Vulpalis looked a little bit jealous about all this talk concerning pregnancy when she couldn’t bear any kits for her master… But it didn’t stop her from enjoying the belly scratches.

“By the way, Edrick… I was wondering when you were going to take Haoyu as your sixth wife? He couldn’t refuse you before, and you’ve become so much stronger since then… The others and I would love to formally meet him”

“Funny that you would mention it now… I was planning on doing just this before going back to Eltysia and finalising things there. I’ll be honest, I have been craving this tanned-skin beauty for a long time now”

“It is about time I took ownership of this Foppoof”
