20: Yao Xi, who voluntarily became the furnace

Under Ye Wen's careful treatment, Yao Xi's injuries recovered very quickly.

That very night, she was able to get out of bed. However, to thank a certain someone for his kind treatment, she stayed overnight.

The night passed without dreams.

Early morning of the next day.

Under the glow of the morning sun, the Shaoguang Saintess's skin was like snow, her tender cheeks seemingly so delicate they might break at a touch. She shakily raised her head, a faint mist gathering in her beautiful eyes, as if teardrops were about to fall. She looked utterly pitiable and moving, no longer like a demoness who could bewitch all living beings.

"lothario, get up." Yao Xi pushed at a certain shameless man with a look of disdain.

"No, let's sleep a little longer. Your injuries aren't completely healed yet either, I'll help treat you some more." From under the covers, Ye Wen reached out, wanting to pull Yao Xi back to sleep.

However, Yao Xi easily avoided him.

"Hmph, if you won't get up, I will." Yao Xi shook her long hair and got out of bed.

Going to the dressing table, Yao Xi picked up a comb and began to tidy her hair and appearance.

Looking at the woman in the mirror with her radiant, rosy face, Yao Xi couldn't help but blush slightly. But what surprised her more was her own strength.

After surviving the Heavenly Tribulation, she had smoothly advanced to the Four Extremities Realm. What astonished her was that after advancing, she was almost able to open up her right arm, achieving the first stage of the Four Extremities.

Yao Xi turned her head to look at the man under the covers on the bed.

Her heart was filled with complex emotions.

This man truly was the best cauldron for a female Cultivator. Relying on him, Yao Xi was confident she could open up the remaining three extremities within three years and then advance to the Dragon Transformation Realm.

"He's just too lustful." Yao Xi muttered quietly. Over this past week, she had clearly seen Ye Wen's character—lustful, willing to do anything for a woman.

Once he set his mind on something, he would absolutely not let go.

For example, right now, Ye Wen already saw her as his woman and would definitely not let her leave his side.

Thinking of the Holy Lord's words, Yao Xi didn't know whether to be happy or not.

Happy because she had completed the Holy Lord's task, tying this man to her side. Unhappy because her future seemed destined for darkness.

Thinking of Ye Wen's Physique, Yao Xi couldn't help but complain inwardly.

Glancing at Ye Wen who was still sleeping, Yao Xi turned back and finished fixing her appearance.

She quickly finished grooming herself, then went to the nearby clothes rack, picked up her clothes, and changed into them.

"I'm heading out." After saying this, Yao Xi opened the door and left.

Once outside, Yao Xi took a deep breath of fresh air, then looked into the courtyard.

"You're awake, are your injuries alright?" Weiwei, who was breastfeeding her child, saw Yao Xi awake and couldn't help but ask.

Seeing Weiwei feeding her child breast milk, Yao Xi walked over to her side.

"The injuries are fine." Yao Xi said with a smile, then looked at the child in Weiwei's arms. "This child is very cute." Yao Xi sat down beside Weiwei and reached out to play with the child in her arms.

"This child's Aptitude is quite remarkable." Just by touching the child, Yao Xi could feel a powerful force contained within its body.

"Is that so?" Weiwei looked at Yao Xi, somewhat surprised.

Seeing Weiwei's unaware expression, Yao Xi began to explain to her.

"Oh, my husband and I already know about that. This child's growth limit is at Quasi-Emperor. Sigh, for him, it's indeed a bit unfortunate. When my husband and I conceived this child, we were only at the Dao Palace Realm. Being able to grow to Quasi-Emperor is already quite good."

"His name is Changsheng, given by my husband. He hopes he can always stay by my side. My husband said that when he becomes a Great Emperor, he will open the Immortal Domain and take Changsheng inside."

Weiwei's answer left Yao Xi speechless.

What did she mean by 'being able to grow to Quasi-Emperor is already quite good'?

Was that even something a person should say?

That was a Quasi-Emperor!

A Saint could establish a Holy Land, let alone a Quasi-Emperor.

"A Quasi-Emperor's Aptitude is already at the level of an Imperial Son. You two actually..." Yao Xi didn't want to continue. If she said more, she would be half-dead with anger from Ye Wen and this woman.

"Just an Imperial Son? My husband is destined for Immortal Ascension, Young Miss Yao Xi. Your Aptitude is much better than mine. The child you have with my husband in the future will also surpass Changsheng." Weiwei said with a smile.

"Who wants to have a child with him? He's nothing but a lothario." Hearing about having children, Yao Xi's face couldn't help but flush.

Hearing Yao Xi's words, Weiwei couldn't help but laugh. "Whether you have one or not isn't really up to you, Young Miss Yao Xi. Do you think after Dual Cultivation with my husband for so long, there's no chance of conceiving? If not today, then tomorrow? Or the day after?"

"Now that you've become my husband's woman, from now on you'll be practicing Dual Cultivation with him every day. One day, you will conceive a child. Unless my husband doesn't want you to conceive so early and takes some measures to prevent it."

"So, Young Miss Yao Xi, has my husband taken any safety measures with you?" Weiwei looked at Yao Xi's glowing, flushed face with a smile.

The latter was rendered completely speechless.

Safety measures? That man was practically eager for her to conceive early, whispering in her ear every day about making her a mother.

"You see, my husband wants you to conceive a child. You can't really refuse either. Who knows, you might be pregnant with a little one very soon."

Weiwei's words made Yao Xi blush and want to retort, but she couldn't find the words to refute Weiwei.

Because, just as Weiwei said, she really might conceive a child very soon. These past few days were her most fertile period.

It just happened to be during this time frame, when the chance of conceiving was the greatest.

"Young Miss Yao Xi... don't you think my husband..." Weiwei shyly whispered a message to Yao Xi.

Listening to Weiwei, Yao Xi couldn't help but nod. Regarding Ye Wen's Physique, she had already experienced it firsthand, so she completely agreed with Weiwei's words.

"So then, Young Miss Yao Xi, perhaps we can form a team. That way, we can share the burden. Don't you think? We are both my husband's women, we can also be sisters who care for each other. Helping each other out should be fine, right?" Weiwei looked at Yao Xi with a shy expression.

Hearing Weiwei's words, Yao Xi also couldn't help but feel bashful.

"This... this is acceptable. Then, I'll be in your care from now on, Sister Weiwei. You can call me Sister Yao Xi from now on. I'm a bit older than you, so I'll take the liberty of recommending myself as your elder sister." Yao Xi understood that she was already tied to Ye Wen's ship.

So, building a good relationship with Weiwei would allow Weiwei to help her in the future.

Weiwei was very happy about Yao Xi agreeing to join. She didn't mind being the younger sister; she was indeed a bit younger than Yao Xi, so being a younger sister was fine.

"Since Sister Yao Xi has decided to stay, I'll tell you some things only those close to us know." Weiwei had Yao Xi lean her ear closer, then told her more information about Ye Wen.

The more Yao Xi listened, the more shocked she became. She hadn't expected Ye Wen not to have the Yin-Yang Physique, but the Yin-Yang Body.

If that was the case, then wouldn't it mean that following Ye Wen, her Immortal Ascension might not be just a dream?

After hearing Weiwei out, Yao Xi decided to find Ye Wen to see if it was true.

Yao Xi bid farewell to Weiwei and returned to Ye Wen's bedroom.

Seeing Yao Xi return, Ye Wen was somewhat surprised. What surprised him even more next was that Yao Xi actually took the initiative to seek Dual Cultivation with him.

Faced with Yao Xi's initiative, Ye Wen naturally did not refuse.
