The blob of energy in front of myself and the other Great Emperors, grew larger and began taking a humanoid form. With the deep connection a Great Emperor has to their home Universe World, it was clear to tell what this was. The Supreme Elders were curiously eyeing this development as well. They seemed to have some idea of what it was, but couldn't be completely certain of it yet.
With the length of time that passed, it became worrying for the others who couldn't sense it. But, this humanoid shape was slowly making its way, learning to think and take on its desired form. With a pulse only the Great Emperors could feel, the humanoid shape finished assuming its new form, a little girl wearing a little girl's hanfu. The color of this hanfu resembled the night sky, in other words the boundary of the stars.
The little girl looked around at the great emperors, her eyes settling in the direction of the previously made Great Emperors. Tears formed in her eyes, which were quickly whisked away by the mountain breeze. Then she looked at me. She flew over and latched onto me clearly wanting to be held.
When I moved my arms to hold her, her weight hit me all at once. She may have been a little girl and a spirit form of one at that… But this one moment, it felt like I was holding the entire weight of the Star Boundary. Of course, such a weight wasn't much to someone who could obliterate Great domains if they wanted to, it just slightly surprised me but also fully confirmed what I and the others had been feeling up until then. And of course like usual the girl fell asleep.
"Thank you, Temporal Thunder… Love you…" She whispered, as she was falling asleep.
"Rest well and recover your strength, Star Boundary." I said with a smile. "My father, Void, is going to be jealous of us." I continued, speaking, though this was clearly directed at the other Great Emperors. "Huo Lei… Thank you." I said taking the blanket that I was about to ask for, Huo Lei had already gone and grabbed it the moment the blob had appeared.
"No need for thanks, dear Husband, I only trusted my instincts. You've been waiting for this day for a while so it was easy to notice. Even 12th sister Lei Xue picked up on it." Huo Lei giggled, wagging her tails, getting excited at the sight. It was stirring her maternal desires up again, though it was more like they were just growing more intense since those feelings haven't been abated since the very first time we'd truly become one. "I wish I could hold her but I don't think I'm strong enough yet." She added, with a slight bit of disappointment.
"Yeah, unfortunately you're right. I don't think you're able to yet either. But you're getting there and it doesn't change how much I love you. So don't let it get you down." I said, giving Huo Lei a kiss for reassurance.
"I'm getting jealous of you, nephew, all the cuties just go right to sleep in your arms. It's not fair." Flower Shadow said, crossing her arms.
"Sorry about that, I think I've figured out why that is now though. But, to put it into words would take far too long to explain and could very well lose meaning." I apologized.
"Like how is your chest more comfortable than mine?" Flower Shadow said with crocodile tears, teasing me.
"You know what, just for that… Here, this is the explanation I've come to." I said, sending all the information directly to her and the other Great Emperors. "Happy now?" I asked.
"I… I see now, that makes, sense. No wonder it can't really be put into words. After all such feelings are intrinsic to the natural order and thus are understood by everyone in their own ways… Still, though I don't think my ability to comfort is lesser." Flower Shadow said, having difficulty speaking through the new sense she had.
"I'm sure that's the case. I am still a man after all. I don't have the luxury of such a comforting physique… Anyway, I'm just glad that we were able to revive her, the spirit of the Star Boundary. Let's make sure she doesn't suffer again like last time." I said, gently wrapping the girl in the blanket and poking her adorable sleeping face.
"Husband, the more you do that, the harder this wait is going to be." Xiu Che said, holding my chair to keep herself standing. My other wives were doing similar things to keep from collapsing.
"Nephew, with the improvements we've had and our new allies… If that happens again, it would have to be fate." Martial Beast sighed. "But even if that is the case, now that she's back with us… I'd rather die before watching her suffer again." He added, as the others nodded.
"And that's what makes us her Great Emperors, the ones who stand above all the rest, her guardians. The world's chosen ones." I said, with that same smile on my face, unbothered by the potential issues that could come around.
"Ahahaha, I'm more worried about what's going on with your wives, it seems like they are having some issues." Wondrous Pill mentioned, as he was about to ask if they needed some help.
"Oh, don't worry about us. This happens whenever we see our husband acting so paternal. I've been with him the longest…" Huo Lei said, finally leaning on me. "So it hits me quite a bit harder than the others, though… 2nd sister isn't that far behind me. But we will all be fine with a little dose of our beloved Husband." She continued, blushing.
"Pfft, how bold the young are these days." A Supreme Elder chuckled.
"If you recall, one of the requirements the Young Master has to even consider a woman is if she's bold enough not to care about what the others around her think." Luo Ting He explained, shutting the other one up. "I think that's quite an interesting requirement, it allows him to display his love whenever, wherever without either of them being embarrassed. It's quite cute." She continued.
"Of course the Ying Yang Paradise Supreme Elder would say that." Six Wood laughed.
"Everyone, I believe all the meeting points have been dealt with. You're welcome to stay here and chat but please do try to let her sleep, she's earned it." I said, sitting back down in my chair.
