"Indeed I do have a promise to make up for. And this husband will deliver." I said, holding Huo Lei and Xiu Che close and tight. "I love both of you dearly. It warms my heart to hold you like this." I said, through our dual cultivation connection.
Bai Yi glanced over and saw that there wasn't any sort of argument between Huo Lei, Xiu Che and myself. "It seems like little Leiji has a few qualities his father could learn from." She said, poking Yang Kai's chest.
"So that's what this is about. Interesting." Yang Kai said, a smirk appearing on his face. He reached out and pulled Feng Ying and Bai Yi close to himself as well. "Is that better?" He inquired, hinting towards there being more.
"It's a good start. It seems you understand." Feng Ying answered, indulging in being treated more womanly. It gets exhausting in between those times.
"Good, now you should put Leiji and the others back now. I'm sure he has things to do." Bai Yi said. Clearly hinting that Feng Ying, Yang Kai and herself had something to do as well.
Hearing this I had to interrupt for a moment. "Father, before sending me back I still have something to do." I said, cupping my hands to signify it was important.
"Oh, well then what is it you need to do? I have already collected the corpses of the Ink Clan we just finished off." Yang Kai asked, curiously.
I moved so that my arms were apart, palms facing up. Two orbs of power appeared, one hovering over each hand. "Mother Feng, Mother Bai, please accept this as my apology for worrying you." I said, offering it to them.
"Leiji? What exactly is that? And why don't you use it for yourself?" Feng Ying asked, now holding the orb in her hands. Refraining from inspecting it for the moment.
"That is the leftover energy from my tribulation. I can not use it anymore. And it refuses to turn into anything else. So I used a couple of my scales as the medium to bind the power. In the end it created these. It should be able to give mothers a few years of cultivation. At least… I think so anyway." I explained, simply.
"So this is… this really is the sealed form of tribulation power. The power of the heavens… Are you sure you don't need it? Don't you have a small realm you could use this for?" Feng Ying questioned.
"Sister Feng is right, Leiji, we can't accept this if you still have a use for this. Besides, it's enough that you are safe. And you made it through such an event. If I could hug you again I would have been devastated." Bai Yi said, wrapping her arms around me.
"I have already absorbed all of the energy I can. My body as it is now can not handle anymore tribulation energy. It was odd. I think it was trying to forcibly push me another order up… But even my freakish growth has limits. So take them. I already help my father to a degree I can't describe so… Oh, Father, Mother-in-law is carrying, I hope you, Mother Feng and Mother Bai will be able to make it that day. I know it would mean a lot." I said, remembering the fact that Xiu Che's mother is about half done with her pregnancy.
"Hmm… I can not make any promises. But I will do my best. I'll inform you of the situation near that time. Now then, let's see if I can handle having you return." Yang Kai said, opening the gate to his small universe.
"Thank you for the help this time father. And now we know the day when I come here for real is nearer than we thought. Perhaps we can have some fun at that time." I said, walking into Void World from the gate.
The gate closed on the ship and Yang Kai stumbled for a moment. "Yang Kai what's wrong!" Bai Yi exclaimed and held him tightly.
"Nothing, it's nothing. I just felt like I made a couple hundred years worth of time in an instant." Yang Kai said, inspecting himself. "I see, it wasn't just 2 Orbs then. Damn. He must have had to use that thing I asked him to develop. I don't see how he survived that Tribulation otherwise. It nearly knocked me on my ass." He whispered to Bai Yi and Feng Ying.
"So we should be careful with these then. I understand. But if these are capable of storing that kind of energy. Then, these could be powerful weapons against the Ink Clan." Feng Ying said, putting the Orb away.
"I wouldn't use it like that unless there was no other choice. I just had 50 people previously stuck at the Dao Source Realm break through all at once. And there are more on the way. But I'm used to it now. Let's head back and make preparations. The Ink Clan is likely terrified of us now. And will probably launch their attack a little sooner. And I have a lot of work to do." Yang Kai said, ordering the return to the Pass.
~~Inside World World~~
Huo Lei, Xiu Che and I appeared through the gate back where we were before. "This is Purple Phoenix City! We're really back here. You know what that means?" Huo Lei said, getting a glint in her eyes.
"I think Sister Huo Lei is right. It means it's time for Husband to deliver. I wonder what it will be like this time… Ah Husband is an Emperor Realm Now. This wife can't wait to feel Husband's… power inside her again." Xiu Che said, with a similar glint in her eyes.
"Mommy, mommy, look! Isn't that the statue man!" A child called out, pointing towards the three of us.
"It's not nice to point. But yes that is the…" A woman, clearly the child's mother, began saying until it dawned on her what that meant. "YOUNG MASTER! You've managed to come and visit your home. It's an honor to see you." The woman bowed, cupping her hands. Her child did the same.
