"Good morning, Sir Temporal Thunder. Is there anything this one can do for you?" The attending maid said, with a flushed face. "His body is so toned. It's manly." She thought, with a sparkle in her eyes.
"Hmm... I'm alright, I'll be resting for a few more days. I spent quite a fair amount of effort this time. But I should be fine in a little while." I said casually. "Oh, but I won't do that here. I want to take a look around High Heaven Palace. Seeing something in person... Is more impactful. So I'll be getting out of bed now. If you don't wish to grow more embarrassed. It would be for the best if you were to leave the room." I explained.
"Understood, Sir Temporal Thunder. With Sir's blessing this one will take her leave. Do call for me if you need this one to bring you anything, anything at all." The maid said, bowing her head deeply. Indicating the position she held. And then left the room properly.
"Huh, that sure is new. I don't dislike this. But it is a bit weird to me. Now then let's get up and get dressed." I thought, throwing back the sheets and hopping out.
~~A Little Later In The Main Hall~~
"How is the Young Palace Master?" The Head Manager Hua Qing Si asked, in a slight worry.
"When I was attending to him several hours ago, Sir looked well. Though I am uncertain of when Sir will make a full recovery, Lady Manager." One of my new maids reported.
"There is no need to worry about him. That son of mine took an attack from a Territory Lord before. And that was before becoming a Great Emperor. If anything, he is probably just forcing his body to rest. Which is good. He really hasn't had much of any break since he started cultivating. It's good that he can lay down and relax for a while." Yang Kai said, to ease the tension in the room.
"Ahahaha! My father knows me well. Only one thing was off. My body really did need that rest. But now... Now I feel great. Still not 100% but there is no need for me to be laying down like that now. Besides if I waited too long then my rest would be interrupted by my wives. Can't ignore them too long. Lest, rest turn into something else." I said, laughing as I walked into the Hall.
"See, nothing to worry about. His ability is freakishly powerful." Yang Kai sighed, and motioned me to sit down.
"Leiji, In short order I'll be handing over any difficult decision to you. That means if Head Manager Hua Qing Si is unable to make a clear decision, she will come to you about it. I am doing this for the duration of... Well You already know that part." Yang Kai explained.
"I see, if that's the case. I'd like to see the whole of the Palace. And become familiar with it in its totality. Could a tour be arranged for either today or tomorrow? I'll get caught up to speed on the finances and structure on the day the tour doesn't take place." I asked, settling into my seat.
"If the Young Palace Master wishes, I can show you around High Heaven Palace personally. The only thing that requires my attention today is this matter. So I would prefer to give that tour today. And in the process I will also help bring you to speed on a few matters." Hua Qing Si said, with a respectful light bow.
"Hmm, then let's do it like that. Later I'll discuss ways to expand the use of my Fertility Enhancement pills. Ideally it's best if the ones spreading them are those who have experienced their effects. I don't think a Great Emperors Guarantee would be enough. But I'm not yet certain of how I will go about it." I said, accepting the offer.
"Then perhaps Young Master can do it the same as you once did before?" Hua Qing Si suggested.
"No, that won't work at all. Leiji had overwhelming support in my small universe. That was the key to getting the people there to listen to him. And then it cascaded after that. But at that time, Leiji had been well known as the son of heaven. Which, to those who live in a Small Universe, heaven is quite literally the person's small universe, they live within." Yang Kai said. "So even my High Heaven Palace's renown is not sufficient." He sighed.
"Well that doesn't matter anymore. It's useless to worry about things that can't be helped. But, I think if there were some who got accustomed to seeing it in action... Father, I have an idea. But, we can wait to implement it till after you and my mothers give me at least 12 siblings. For now..." I said, with a light chuckle. "You're one of the live-in maids at my new house, correct?" I asked, turning to the maid, who was still kneeling on the floor.
"Yes, Young Palace Master. What orders does the Young Palace Master have for this maid?" The kneeling maid asked, in an oddly dignified tone. It was as if she was overly happy about something. And then... "Pardon, But Would, Young Palace Master allow this humble one to make use of that pill?" She said, accidentally, she had been thinking of a way to formulate her question in her head. But it came out instead.
"Hmm, do you have a male partner?" I asked, casually.
"Responding to the Young Palace Master... I do not have a husband." The maid said, trembling.
"Hmm, if you're asking for this pill and don't have a partner, what do you intend to use it for?" I asked.
"From the name of the pill... Does it not heal one's reproductive organs? I'd like the ability to have a child returned to me. Oh, forgive my rudeness, Young Palace Master." The Maid said, with a slight tremble.
"As far as I am aware it does not. Though, it could have some effect. If you find a man, inform me and I'll help you with this matter. But, be warned, don't expect to have the wrongs done to you previously, to be righted by a single pill." I said, offering measured hope.
