"I… I had a vision that Yang Kai and I have a son." Su Yan said, as tears started welling up.
"Sister? All of us sisters have had those thoughts. Which of us doesn't wish for Husband to give us a baby?" Zhu Qing asked, trying to dismiss it.
"No, not this time. It feels like there is a hole in my heart like I've missed out on something important. Something I'll never get back. This time I feel like I really do have a son. It's too real to ignore and I can't focus anymore, not like this. Without Husband confirming that it's false, I won't be able to rest easily." Su Yan said, tears flowing.
"Su Yan, This feeling, is it coming from your source?" Qing Luan asked, with a totally serious expression on her face.
"Yes, I received some visions of him from my source. I know what he looks like. And there are even people other than him in these visions. Ones I don't know yet have a detailed face. They can't simply be thought up. They have to be real. And that makes the visions real." Su Yan explained, crying.
"Su Yan, if these were sent to you. There is only one who could have. And that would be Yang Kai. If he intended to do so or not doesn't matter. I can say this, the odds of what you're seeing is real… They are quite high. When did they start?" Qing Luan asked.
"A few days ago at most. I haven't been able to sleep since. Nor cultivate. I want to see my son. I want to see him now." Su Yan cried.
"Sister… let's sleep in the same bed tonight. It won't be the same, but it should offer some small comfort to you. Hopefully you'll be able to sleep." Shang Qing Luo said, holding Su Yan.
"If you can't sleep then, you can tell us about the visions in more detail. I'm curious to know about this boy as well. After all, we're all going to be his mothers in some way." Zhu Qing said, giving into her motherly side and hugging Su Yan as well.
~~No-Return Pass~~
The games continued in full swing once the Dragon Emperor and Phoenix Empress fully suppressed me back down to the same amount of strength as before. However, the games didn't last much longer. It was quite clear there was going to be a final winner. There were four teams left. Two of the teams were in sync with each other. And two were not even bothering to work together. So it didn't take long for the games to be decided. The four remaining young women rushed towards me and grabbed on.
I was just done with the games at this point. I was tired of it and wanted to rest. Combined with the exhaustion I felt after my break through… and the deal that was struck before. There was no point in resisting. In the end it was Chi Qiu, Feng Qiang, Bing Xue and Bing Hua who managed to last till the very end. The four of them claiming me.
"This is an interesting result… Chi Qiu, Feng Qiang. Are you sure about this? Are you willing to share him like this?" The Phoenix Empress asked, nervously.
"Lady Empress, I will not let go of my new Husband. I worked so hard to get him and moreover, I worked with sister Chi Qiu's team to claim him. That was the point." Feng Qiang said.
"Grandmother Empress, the rules never state that we can't work together. In fact it states that we can. So by extension. That means we can claim him together." Chi Qiu said.
"This…" The Phoenix Empress stuttered.
"Sister Phoenix, their teammates are the Bing twin sisters. They adamantly refused to marry unless they got to stay together. Which means they had intended for this result from the very beginning." The Dragon Emperor said.
"Then I guess there is no need to wonder about their intentions. Very well. Then I will call the games officially over. And congratulate the winners on being successful in catching their mate." The Phoenix Empress said.
The five of us flew down and bowed to the Phoenix Empress and Dragon Emperor. And then the five of us stood back up. The eyes of envy were many and mighty. Knowing this I decided to bring up the next topic, and quickly.
"Lady Empress. Now might be a good time to announce the 5 from each clan who will leave with us." I said, hoping this would stop the many pairs of lustful eyes.
"Good." The Phoenix Empress said, and then changed the subject. "Alright, there is one more piece of news. Each clan will be sending people back to the 3000 Worlds temporarily. Your mission will be given to you after names are called. One Ancient level from each clan. And four Great levels from each clan…" She went on to call the names of those who were to meet her.
~~In Meeting Hall~~
"The 10 of you and your partners will be responsible for an incredibly important task. You will follow Yang Kai to the 3000 Worlds, and visit with Sir Sun's Burning Shine and Lady Moon's Nether Glimmer. There you will be bestowed the gift of their marks. Once you finish and return here. You will be responsible for creating the Light of Purification so the humans don't run out while Yang Kai is away." The Dragon Emperor explained.
"This Junior appreciates all the seniors for coming." Yang Kai stood up and cupped his hands to show his respect.
"It's not that I don't have any problem with this arrangement. But, I am curious about what gave us specifically the qualifications to meet our Ancestors and wield their power. Such an honor is…" The Ancient Dragon asked.
"The ones who are most like-able. Or, have a relationship with me. Brother Huang and Sister Lan are… a bit childish but they really don't like being looked down on or feel like they would be inferior. So in other words. Those who were chosen are the ones most easily able to accept the power of the Sun and Moon." Yang Kai explained, making one minor hiccup.
