48: The women's shame and indignation

Listening to Weiwei's words, Yaochi's face turned completely red like a ripe fruit.

She looked at her belly, which was already slightly bulging.

One could imagine how intense the Dual Cultivation with Ye Wen had been last night.

Pregnancy was a certainty.

Thinking about becoming a mother and being pregnant in her early twenties made Yaochi feel both humored and exasperated.

"Sister Yaochi, don't worry. When your belly gets big, you just need to find an excuse to come over to our side. You can give birth to the child on Goddess Peak. After the birth, the child can be sent back to Lingxu Grotto-Heaven. Two of our sisters are there, and they will be responsible for taking care of our children."

"My Changsheng is being looked after by Sister Lin Jia and Sister Liu Yiyi. Both of them are pregnant too, so you can rest easy. Your child won't go hungry; their breasts are quite large, and they'll have plenty of breast milk to feed the babies."

Weiwei's words made Yaochi feel both humored and exasperated once again, while also finding Ye Wen's group quite amusing.

She always felt that Ye Wen was only interested in her because she was beautiful and wanted her to bear his children.

Thinking back to his repeated forceful advances last night, Yaochi perhaps understood Ye Wen's true purpose.

After understanding this, Yaochi felt even more conflicted between laughter and tears.

"I understand. When my belly gets big, I'll find a reason to come here to nurse the pregnancy," Yaochi said, resigning herself to fate.

Since it had already happened, she wouldn't try to stop it. Moreover, as it was her first child, she wouldn't consider an abortion; not only was she unwilling, but Ye Wen wouldn't agree either.

Not to mention, she didn't even know for sure if she had conceived yet.

Hearing Yaochi's answer, Weiwei smiled and said, "Then when Husband returns, you should tell him yourself. While you're at it, let him perform a marrow cleansing on your body. Your foundation is much better than ours; with Husband's help, you should be able to advance rapidly. Reaching the Dragon Transformation Realm shouldn't be a problem."

"The Dragon Transformation Realm?" Yaochi gave a sweet smile but didn't say anything.

If she could advance to the Dragon Transformation Realm, that would naturally be best. Even if not, she would be satisfied reaching Four Extremities Perfection.

"Alright, Sister Yaochi, now that you've changed your clothes, we should head out. We still have to go through the motions today," Weiwei said, explaining today's schedule to Yaochi.

Listening to Weiwei's explanation, Yaochi couldn't help but say in surprise, "Is your goal really all the Saintesses who came for the competition?"

Yaochi had originally thought Ye Wen was only looking for a few, but she hadn't expected him to want to catch them all in one net.

One must know that there were three hundred and twenty-one Saintesses from various Holy Lands participating.

"Of course, and they need to be pregnant before they can go back. They are the first batch Husband has reserved. Originally, we wanted to pick the first batch from within the Yaoguang Holy Land, with a quota of one hundred spots. Unfortunately, after searching the entire Yaoguang Holy Land, we only found a dozen or so. In the end, we had to lower the standards to make up the hundred, and they are now serving as handmaidens."

"Of course, they aren't just handmaidens; consider them the reserve team." Weiwei didn't hide much from Yaochi and laid out all of Ye Wen's plans.

Hearing Ye Wen's plan, Yaochi couldn't help but gasp.

This Ye Wen was truly audacious, actually wanting to get all the Saintesses of the Eastern Desolation pregnant with his children.

"Aren't you... afraid of being ganged up on?" One Saintess might be fine; some Holy Lands might give up due to the pressure from the Yaoguang Holy Land.

But if the Saintesses of the entire Eastern Desolation were compromised, the trouble would be immense.

One must know that many Saintesses were paired with their own Holy Lands' Saints.

"What is there to fear? Husband said that in a worst-case scenario, he'll have that person from the Ancient Desolate Forbidden Zone come out for a stroll. Let's see who dares then. For Husband to marry their Saintesses is to be their father; they shouldn't be so ungrateful."

Weiwei's words made Yaochi realize that few people here were normal.

Yaochi couldn't help but sigh and said, "Do as you wish." Yaochi gave up on arguing with Weiwei.

After all, Ye Wen had a Great Emperor backing him—the legendary one at that—which was more than enough.

"Alright, let's head out. They're already getting impatient waiting." Weiwei checked the time and realized they were late.

Then she quickly led Yaochi, who was wearing a pink lace gown, out the door.

Along the way, Yaochi walked with a limp. If it weren't for Weiwei supporting her, Yaochi wouldn't have wanted to come out at all.

Soon, Weiwei supported Yaochi as they arrived at a large hall.

The hall was already filled with stunningly beautiful and glamorous Saintesses.

When Yaochi appeared, all the women's eyes turned toward her.

Yaochi forced herself through the pain, wearing a smile on her face as she walked to the center and sat down.

Sitting beside her were Ji Ziyue and the Young Miss of the Feng Clan, Phoenix.

"Alright, everyone is here, so let today's competition begin. Those who advanced to the second round are Ji Ziyue, Fairy Zixia, the Yaochi Saintess, Phoenix..." Yao Xi took out a list and began reading it aloud.

She quickly finished reading the thirty advancing names.

"Now, the test for everyone today is the following topic." Yao Xi clapped her hands.

Quickly, Qin Yao, who was to the side, took out a set of measuring tapes.

"Next, we will measure everyone's bust. Whoever has the largest bust will advance to the next round." Qin Yao looked at the Saintesses with a beaming smile.

Hearing Qin Yao's words, the faces of these Saintesses were filled with shock, followed by indignant anger as they said, "What exactly is this competition of your Yaoguang Holy Land about?! Yesterday was a clothing competition, and today it's about who has the biggest chest. Why don't you just pick whoever is the most beautiful and give them first place?"

"Good idea." Hearing the lead Saintess's words, Qin Yao couldn't help but clap.

"Young Miss Yao Xi, look at this. Why don't we do as she says and just pick whoever is the most beautiful and pretty?" Qin Yao's gaze turned to Yao Xi.

Yao Xi rolled her eyes and said, "Don't mess around." After reprimanding Qin Yao, Yao Xi looked at the Saintess who had spoken up, who was none other than the Young Miss of the Feng Clan, Phoenix.

"Miss Phoenix, please calm down. We have our reasons for this, which will be announced after the competition. Please remain calm, Miss Phoenix. If you are unwilling or lack confidence in yourself, you may choose to withdraw. There is no need to be so agitated."

Yao Xi spoke while staring at Phoenix's full bust.

Hearing Yao Xi's words, Phoenix looked at her own chest and then at the others.

She then realized that hers was still quite large, at least not smaller than anyone else's; in fact, she was among the top few.

Therefore, she naturally wouldn't give up.

One must know that the first prize included the divine spring.

Moreover, this competition actually didn't involve fighting. Since it wasn't a fight, the chances of getting first place were even higher.

Having come this far, she naturally wouldn't quit.

"Hmph, I hope you can provide an explanation after the competition." After Phoenix finished speaking, she sat back down.

"Of course," Yao Xi nodded with a smile.

Then she looked at the surrounding Saintesses and said, "Now, let the measurements begin." After saying that, she had Qin Yao go and measure their bust sizes.

As for why they were doing this, it was naturally to select better maternal hosts.

Yesterday was about selecting those with good figures to ensure smoother childbirth; today's selection for large breasts was to ensure the children wouldn't go hungry in the future.

Additionally, their man really liked women with large breasts, so they naturally had to pick out some good ones in advance.

In this manner, under Qin Yao's measurements, an hour later, all thirty advancing Saintesses had been measured.

Yao Xi then clapped her hands and said, "Well then, that's all for today. Tomorrow will be in this same place for the final round, and the ten who advance will be announced then."

After finishing, she dismissed the women, and Yao Xi, Qin Yao, and the others returned to the backyard.
