"Don't worry father, I won't get over confident." I said, looking at my students, then to my hand and made a fist… "I can't afford to do something so foolish. I sent Wu Kuang there in the hopes I can buy myself a little more time to grow stronger. Ideally I'd rather not fight Ink until I'm at least the peak of the 9th rank." I explained, relaxing my fist once more. "In any case, I think it's best if I leave these students here to practice their new ability." I finished.
"Didn't you need to return that part of the Ancestral Land? Surely you can't just leave it here?" Smiles asked, looking anxious. She was clearly ready to return home and get her and Yang Kai's loins working overtime.
"I've broken the remains down to the point the energy here can suppress any issues. And I'll leave a 1000 layer barrier around it to add extra security. But, enough of that now. I too want to head home and see my brothers and sisters." I said, with a slight stretch.
In a single motion, I removed the remaining portion of the Ink Giant Spirit God's body to leave it floating in the void on its own and shrunk down the large piece of the Ancestral Land. After, the fields of thunderous energy were created and began to swarm, forming an intense barrier that no amount of ink could ever hope to escape from, well that was the hope anyway… It is still a highly untested method of containment.
In the void just outside of the newly formed barrier I left a shining light for my students to seek out. It contained the instructions for their next lesson. It was also rigged to adjust the difficulty of the lesson to the individual. This way, regardless of their realm all of my students would be able to gain the experience needed from this lesson. Something that all masters should be able to pull off when needed.
I then vanished along with Smiles and Yang Kai. We first stopped by the Ancestral Land where I returned the rather sizable portion of its universe, healing the wounds with my own energy and granting the Universe World a breath of fresh air in the process. As a result of this influx of energy and the healing of the wounds inflicted upon the Ancestral Realm all those years ago, the Ancestral Realm seemed different… Far stronger and healthier than before. And then, we vanished, returning to Star Boundary…
~ Star Boundary's High Heaven Palace ~
Upon returning home I was besieged by a horde of baby siblings. Each showing their innate talents and strength due to their blessings of being half Divine Spirits. Some had even managed to learn how to assume their dragon forms. Such a thing was a sign of a unique degree of explosive talent.
"Looks like they've missed their elder brother." Xia Ning Chang giggled, flying over to give me a hug. "Welcome home son." She smiled and then let go to give Yang Kai a kiss. "Husband, welcome home. My sisters and I have come to an arrangement. Big Sister Su Yan and many others are ready and waiting for you. Half of us will stay out here for our children. After all, they 3all need to be fed." She said with a warm smile, holding back her desire to go in first.
Yang Kai brushed his hand gently across Xia Ning Chang's cheek and then gave her a heartfelt kiss. "I'll make this up to you, little senior sister." He smiled softly before he and Smiles flew away.
Eventually, Yang Kai and Smiles both disappeared behind a massive restriction. What they would do behind those doors… Well, it would be faster to list what they wouldn't do…
Meanwhile, Xia Ning Chang turns back to me as she couldn't help but let out a cute laugh. "They may be young, but they sure are full of energy." She said with a tender smile herself.
"I will mother Xia, there's no need to worry about that." I said, from under the pile of giggling babies, well, they are about 1 year old now. "I'll make a ton of time for them. After all, I've been wanting to do this for so long." I said, with a happy smile and some laughs while a couple of my little sisters nuzzled up against cheeks with their own. "They are just so adorable." I added.
From there, my wives and mothers joined me in making time for little brothers and sisters. Occasionally, I would have to take care of some less than minor matters in regards to the force's administration but it wasn't too much time away.
Huo Lei would use her tails to wrap my little siblings up in a warm blanket-esc embrace. A scene that would move anyone's heart. And it was during these moments I would get the chance to talk with some of my mothers again. We had rather little contact aside from the few instances where I was basically force fed their breast milk, so these moments were cherished and precious. This particular time happened two days into Yang Kai's seclusion with the other half of my mothers.
"Son? It's been a little while since we became your mothers. Yet, we haven't had much time to talk. Can we talk? I'd like to know more about you, and from you." Qiu Yi Meng asked, taking a seat beside me. Several others came with her to listen in as well. "It feels weird I know so little about you and yet you've done so much for me. And I've even fed you from my own breast…" She continued on in a slight murmur, hoping I would start speaking.
"Well, mother Qiu, what should I start with?" I asked, preparing some tea for the couple dozen mothers that decided to appear. The ones who weren't here with me right now were either still undergoing the rigorous relationship between husband and wife behind closed doors, or they were taking time to cultivate for themselves since they found it was rather easy to do so now that they had so much talent thrusted into them.
"How about the part when you were conceived? I had heard from Big Sister Su Yan that you have an interesting conception story." Qiu Ye Meng suggested.
"All the way from there…?" I almost spit out my tea. "Alright, but if I am right… You were already in love with my father when I was technically conceived…" I began.
