292: Chapter 292 The Married Tower Master and the Angry Wildcat

The rising sun pierced through the thin clouds, casting a pale golden glow over the backyard of the Xu Family Imperial Palace.

Having just undergone an earth-shaking phenomenon and the baptism of a Lightning Tribulation, the courtyard now appeared exceptionally quiet and peaceful. The spirit flowers that had bloomed because of the birth of the medicine god twins swayed gently in the breeze, emitting a refreshing and heart-soothing fragrance.

Xu Chen carried two bowls of warm Nine Revolutions Foundation-Fixing Soup as he steadily walked out of the side wing. He had personally warmed this soup in the kitchen using his recently surged Saint King Origin, pushing the medicinal power to its absolute limit.

He ignored the guards standing outside the courtyard, whose eyes still held traces of fanaticism and awe. Even though he could now make the entire land of Zhongzhou tremble with just a single thought, his movements were still as gentle as if he were handling two fragile treasures when he pushed open the two carved wooden doors.

The delivery room on the left.

The thick scent of blood had already been cleaned away by the Family's maidservants using spiritual techniques, and the air was filled with a faint wood-spirit medicinal fragrance unique to Liu Hanyan.

Liu Hanyan was leaning against soft Cloud-Hidden Silkworm Silk pillows. Having just finished giving birth, she had changed into a loose, plain-colored silk nightgown. Her jet-black hair was casually tied back, with a few playful strands falling into her long, fair neck, adding a touch of lazy and gentle housewife charm.

The Midwife had already placed the two bathed medicine god twins by her side.

Looking at that pair of children as exquisite as carved powder and jade, a thick, inseparable maternal glow rippled in Liu Hanyan's eyes.

"Creak."

The door was gently pushed open.

"Husband."

Hearing the movement, Liu Hanyan looked up, and a gentle smile blossomed on her beautiful face, which still carried a hint of paleness.

"Don't move."

Xu Chen quickly walked to the bedside and placed one of the bowls of medicinal soup on a nearby low table. He naturally sat on the edge of the bed and reached out to pull Liu Hanyan into his broad embrace.

"Does your body still hurt?" Xu Chen lowered his head, his chin gently resting on Liu Hanyan's forehead, his voice deep and tender.

Feeling that familiar and solid embrace, Liu Hanyan obediently leaned her head against Xu Chen's chest, listening to his steady and powerful heartbeat, and gently shook her head.

"With Husband here, Hanyan doesn't feel any pain anymore."

As she spoke, her gaze fell once again on the two little ones beside her. "It's just that these two little ones have suffered, drawing the Heavenly Dao Lightning Tribulation just as they were born. If Husband hadn't protected them, they..."

"With me here, even if the sky falls, it won't hit the three of you."

Xu Chen domineeringly interrupted her, picked up the bowl of Nine Revolutions Foundation-Fixing Soup, stirred it gently with a spoon, blew away the surface steam, and held it to Liu Hanyan's lips.

"Come, drink the medicine and nourish your body well. This is soup your husband personally warmed with his Origin. Even the Grand Elder of the Dan Tower wouldn't dream of such treatment."

Hearing Xu Chen's half-joking, half-serious words, Liu Hanyan felt a warmth in her heart.

She didn't take the bowl herself but slightly opened her somewhat dry red lips, swallowing the warm medicinal soup sip by sip from Xu Chen's hand.

As the soup entered her stomach, a pure surge of life energy spread through her limbs and bones, and Liu Hanyan's originally pale face finally regained some color.

After feeding the herbal medicine， Xu Chen spent some more time with Liu Hanyan, enjoying their tender moments together..

He extended his long fingers and gently poked the chubby cheek of his eldest son, Xu Changqing, who was fast asleep, then touched the soft hair of his eldest daughter, Xu Zhiruo. Looking at the peaceful sleeping faces of his wife and children, Xu Chen's heart was filled with an unprecedented sense of satisfaction.

"You rest first. I'm going next door to see that little wildcat."

Xu Chen planted a light kiss on Liu Hanyan's forehead, then tucked her in and stood up with the other bowl of medicinal soup.

Liu Hanyan nodded obediently, watching Xu Chen leave. Having such a powerful and gentle man to rely on, her life was worth it.

...

Leaving Liu Hanyan's delivery room, Xu Chen turned and came to the right side.

Compared to the warmth and peace of the left side, the air in this delivery room still held a lingering trace of violent fire-attribute aura.

Xu Chen lightened his steps and pushed open the large red sandalwood door, which was slightly charred.

After dismissing the trembling maidservants waiting in the corner, Xu Chen carried the medicinal soup to the soft couch carved from Ten-Thousand-Year Ice Jade.

On the bed, Xiao Yu still maintained the same posture as when he had left. Her signature fiery red hair was scattered messily on the pillow, and even in her sleep, her beautiful brows were slightly furrowed, as if she were enduring some hidden pain.

In the specially made fireproof cradle beside her, the myriad fire twins were fast asleep, the crimson-gold flames around them turning into two thin layers of light halos, protecting their tiny bodies.

Looking at this stubborn but soft-hearted little woman who had almost been backlashed by the Three Thousand Blazing Flames to give birth to the divine fetuses, a deep sense of pity flashed in Xu Chen's eyes.

He placed the medicinal soup on the low table and sat on the edge of the bed.

His long fingers gently brushed away the messy hair on Xiao Yu's cheek. Then, Xu Chen joined two fingers and tapped Xiao Yu's brow, slowly unblocking the sleep points that had previously sealed her senses.

"Mmm..."

Accompanied by a weak, soft groan, Xiao Yu's long eyelashes fluttered twice, and she slowly opened her eyes, which were as lazy as a cat's.

Having just woken up from a deep sleep, Xiao Yu's gaze was still a bit dazed. But when she clearly saw Xu Chen sitting by the bed and the bowl of black liquid emitting a strong herbal scent on the low table, the tsundere nature etched in her bones instantly revived.

"Take it away... I won't eat this sticky medicinal meal..."

As soon as Xiao Yu spoke, she realized her voice was as weak as a newborn kitten's. She frowned and tried to shrink her body back.

"I am the dignified Saintess of the Dan Tower... the mother of the Source of Ten Thousand Fires... how can I drink something so ugly... go and get the Fire Lotus Pill I refined before..."

Looking at this little woman who didn't even have the strength to roll over yet was still forcing herself to maintain her haughty persona, Xu Chen didn't get angry but instead found it somewhat amusing.

"What? After a nap, your temper hasn't decreased one bit, has it?"

Xu Chen extended his large, well-defined hand and scooped her up, quilt and all, into his broad embrace.

"You... what are you doing?!"

Xiao Yu instinctively tried to struggle.

But in Xu Chen's powerful arms, her bit of resistance was like an ant trying to shake a tree, and she could only lean obediently against Xu Chen's solid chest.

"You just forcibly activated the Three Thousand Blazing Flames. Although you gave birth to the divine fetuses, your Meridians suffered a backlash. The medicinal properties of the Fire Lotus Pill are too intense; you can't handle it right now. Be good and drink this bowl of Nine Revolutions Foundation-Fixing Soup."

Xu Chen's voice wasn't loud, but it carried an unquestionable authority.

As he spoke, Xu Chen's large hand naturally reached into the brocade quilt and pressed against Xiao Yu's flat and tight lower abdomen without any hindrance.

The moment he touched her, Xu Chen felt a weak but extremely chaotic fire-attribute Qi scurrying around her Dantian.

"Don't move."

Xu Chen stopped Xiao Yu's instinctive flinch. In his palm, the Saint King-level Hongmeng Origin transformed into countless strands of soft energy, slowly seeping into Xiao Yu's body through the skin of her lower abdomen.

This power was a hundred times gentler than when he had forcibly suppressed the Lightning Tribulation earlier. It was like a pair of invisible hands, patiently and delicately combing through the rampaging Three Thousand Blazing Flames while nourishing Xiao Yu's damaged Meridians.

Feeling that tingling and warm sense of comfort coming from her lower abdomen.

Xiao Yu's originally stiff body instantly turned as soft as spring water.

She bit her lower lip, and the stubborn fire in her cat-like eyes gradually died out, replaced by a misty layer of water.

All her pretenses and all her tsundere nature turned into nothingness before this domineering yet meticulous man.

"It hurts..."

Xiao Yu finally let down her guard. Like a wronged cub, she actively moved her body toward Xu Chen and pressed her cheek against his chest.

"Now you know it hurts? Why were you acting so tough just now?"

Xu Chen scraped her nose in annoyance, but his movements became even gentler.

"I... I just didn't want to be outdone by Liu Hanyan..."

Xiao Yu sobbed, her hands tightly clutching the lapel of Xu Chen's clothes, burying her face deep inside.

"You bastard... you tapped my sleep points just now... did you sneak off to see Liu Hanyan... I thought since you had the medicine god twins... you wouldn't want the three of us anymore..."

Hearing this accusation filled with intense jealousy and insecurity.

Xu Chen laughed in spite of himself.

"Silly cat."

Xu Chen's chin gently rubbed against Xiao Yu's fiery red hair, his tone full of doting.

"Both of you, whether you gave birth quickly or slowly, are heroes to me for risking your lives to continue the Xu Family Bloodline."

"As for who is more favored..."

Xu Chen intentionally drew out his voice, picked up the medicinal soup from the low table, scooped a spoonful, and held it to Xiao Yu's lips, his eyes glinting with a bit of mischief.

"Drink the medicine and get your body well quickly. In a while, we'll discuss this matter slowly on the bed."

Hearing this explicit teasing, two red clouds instantly flew onto Xiao Yu's pale cheeks, and even her long neck was stained with a layer of pink.

"You... you're shameless! You're thinking about those things right after I've given birth!"

Xiao Yu gave Xu Chen's chest a frustrated punch with her soft fist. But that weak and powerless blow was even more comfortable than a tickle for Xu Chen, who was already a Saint King.

She didn't refuse anymore and obediently opened her mouth, swallowing the warm medicinal soup. Then, she burrowed deeper into that warm embrace, like a cat that had found its owner, letting out a satisfied sigh.
