93: Chapter 93 Congratulations, Empress! It's a pair of twins, a boy and a girl!
Young Emperors Palace, Demonic Palace Side Hall.
The tightly shut hall doors, closed for three full days, finally began to creak open with a heavy groan.
Morning sunlight spilled onto the threshold, illuminating Xu Chen's refreshed and even somewhat wistful face.
He stretched, the bones in his body cracking with a series of crisp pops, as if he'd just finished an exhilarating battle. Far from being tired, his cultivation had noticeably advanced.
"Hongyi, can you still walk?"
He turned his head to look behind him.
There, Luo Hongyi was leaning against the doorframe, her long, usually swift legs now trembling slightly.
Her signature red dress, though tidied, couldn't conceal an air of utter, languid allure.
Especially that stunning face of hers—it had long shed its previous pallor and anxiety, replaced by a dewy, thoroughly nurtured radiance.
Her originally captivating Heavenly Demon Alluring Bone, after these three days of "intensive development," now exuded a breathtaking, heart-stopping charm that left one parched with a single glance.
"Xu Chen... you're a beast!"
Luo Hongyi bit her red lip, shooting him a look that was half-annoyance, half-reproach, her voice hoarse yet tinged with a soft, melting quality.
Only she knew what she had truly endured these three days and nights.
Her Heavenly Demon Alluring Bone was, after all, a world-class dual cultivation physique of extreme sensitivity. Meeting a "pure yang furnace" like Xu Chen, who possessed an equally supreme constitution, was like dry tinder meeting a spark—it ignited instantly. Every touch felt like a tremor in her soul.
Yet, it was precisely this extreme frenzy that had completely dispelled all the inferiority buried deep in her heart.
"Thank you for the compliment, my lady."
Xu Chen chuckled, stepped forward, and in full view of the maids at the door, scooped her up into a princess carry once more.
"Since you're tired, your husband will carry you to the main hall."
"Perfect timing, too. It's about time we checked the 'fruits of our labor' from these past few days."
"You mean..."
Luo Hongyi's eyes lit up, her hand instinctively moving to her still-flat abdomen.
Though it remained unchanged, as a powerful cultivator, she seemed to sense an unusual pulse of life, quietly gestating deep within her alluring bones.
At that very moment.
In Xu Chen's mind, the system prompt that had been silent for days chimed like heavenly music.

"Dragon and Phoenix Twins?!"
Xu Chen's steps faltered, his smile instantly widening ear to ear.
This was too incredible!
Truly worthy of a peerless beauty with the Heavenly Demon Alluring Bone—her fertility was as domineering as her charm! Not only a direct hit, but a double strike with one shot!
"What's wrong? Is it..."
In his arms, Luo Hongyi nervously grabbed his collar, her eyes filled with anticipation and anxiety.
"Hongyi."
Xu Chen lowered his head and planted a firm kiss on her forehead.
"You've performed a great service this time."
"Not only do we have one, but... we have two!"
"Two?!"
Luo Hongyi froze. Then, a surge of immense joy erupted in her heart like a volcano.
Two!
It was actually two!
Now, let's see who dares say her bloodline is inferior! Her alluring bones were clearly the most fertile soil in the world for nurturing an imperial lineage!
...
Main Hall.
Su Qingge was sitting with Jiang Liuli, Bai Ningbing, and Ye Qingwu, sewing little clothes for the babies in their bellies.
"What do you think? It's been three days since husband went in. Why is there still no movement?"
Jiang Liuli glanced worriedly towards the side hall.
"Don't worry."
Su Qingge's needlework flowed seamlessly, a meaningful smile playing on her lips.
"Sister Hongyi has a special constitution. Husband is... ahem, helping her regulate her body."
Before her words faded.
The main hall doors were pushed open. Xu Chen walked in, carrying a beaming Luo Hongyi, who looked almost smug with delight.
"Oh, sisters are all here?"
Before Xu Chen could speak, Luo Hongyi struggled out of his arms and landed on her feet.
She straightened her fiery red skirt. Instead of sitting down as usual, she deliberately straightened her still-flat abdomen, an irrepressible smile on her face as she walked before the group.
"Sister Hongyi, judging by your complexion, do you have good news?"
Su Qingge set down her needle and thread, asking with a knowing smile.
"Ahem."
Luo Hongyi cleared her throat, trying hard to suppress the upturn of her lips, but clearly failing. Her gaze swept the room, finally landing on Jiang Liuli, who was proudly carrying Dragon and Phoenix Twins.
"Sister Liuli, I heard you're carrying Dragon and Phoenix Twins?"
"Yes."
Jiang Liuli patted her belly, a look of happiness on her face.
"What a coincidence."
Luo Hongyi's lips curved upwards into an extremely 'humble-brag' smile.
"Husband just checked for me."
"It seems there are also two in my belly."
She paused, emphasizing deliberately:
"And husband said these two little ones, one is a divine fetus, one is a demon fetus. They just happen to inherit all the best from both of us."
"What?! Also two?!"
Jiang Liuli's eyes widened, the little clothes in her hand falling to the floor.
"Divine-Demon Twins?"
Ye Qingwu and Bai Ningbing beside her also looked shocked. This configuration sounded even more domineering than Jiang Liuli's Dragon and Phoenix Twins!
"Congratulations, Sister Hongyi!"
Su Qingge was the first to react, offering sincere blessings.
"I said it all along. With Sister Hongyi's natural beauty, how could her fortune be any less than ours?"
"This is wonderful. Our family has two more little treasures. It seems the Young Emperors Palace will only get livelier from now on."
"Indeed."
Luo Hongyi now resembled a victorious little rooster, her previous grievances and inferiority complex long tossed beyond the clouds.
She walked over and sat beside Su Qingge, picking up a piece of fabric with an air of grandeur:
"Sister Qingge, I need to learn this sewing skill too."
"After all, raising two at once means I'll need to prepare several sets."
Watching the harmonious scene among the women, Xu Chen stood to the side, his heart filled with an unprecedented sense of fulfillment.
Xu Chen looked at the room full of expectant bellies. Though he knew the burden on his shoulders had grown heavier—raising so many 'gold-devouring beasts'—the sense of achievement from a house full of descendants and a thriving family was unmatched by any cultivation breakthrough.
"For the sake of my wives, children, and a warm home..."
Xu Chen clenched his fist, his gaze turning towards the vast sky outside the hall.
"It seems I still have to keep striving."
"The pressure of milk powder money is immense."
