298: Chapter 298 Painting with Stained Glass Leads to Pregnancy

And so, a whole year passed just like that.

It took that long for his fifty-two wives to become pregnant one after another.

Hua Caili was the very last one.

That night, while everyone was in the heat of passion,

the System's notification rang out in Lin Yun's mind.

Clear and pleasant, like the chirping of birds in spring.

Lin Yun paused his movements.

Hua Caili's eyes, tender as water, filled with confusion. "What's wrong?"

Lin Yun looked at her and smiled happily.

"Caili, you're pregnant."

In the master bedroom, everyone heard these words.

There was a second of silence.

And then...

the room erupted.

Qiao Feifei was the first to cry out, "Sister Caili is pregnant!"

Bai Ling shouted after her, "Really? Really?"

Qu Yanran hugged Hua Liuli, and both of them cried tears of excitement.

Hua Caili stared blankly at Lin Yun.

She placed her hand on her lower abdomen, which was still as flat as before, without any change.

But her eyes welled up with tears.

"I'm pregnant?" Her voice trembled.

Lin Yun nodded. "You're pregnant."

Hua Caili threw herself into his arms, hugging him and kissing him passionately.

Once, twice, thrice.

She kissed Lin Yun until his face was covered in saliva.

She couldn't remember the last time she had lost her composure like this.

Having lived for over a thousand years, she had always been that calm, composed, noble, and elegant Ninth Princess.

But today, she didn't want to be calm, composed, noble, or elegant anymore.

She only wanted to hold her husband, kiss her husband, and feel the tiny life inside her belly.

"Husband."

"Mhm."

"It's so wonderful to be married to you."

Lin Yun leaned down and gently kissed her on the lips.

"Marrying you is the truly wonderful thing."

Hua Caili smiled.

She smiled like a child—innocent, bright, and carefree.

One had to know that for an ordinary Sixth Rank Martial Artist to get pregnant, it would take a hundred years at the fastest, and a thousand years at the slowest.

But her husband had made her pregnant in just a year and a half.

A year and a half, compared to a hundred or a thousand years, was practically the blink of an eye.

At this moment, she was not the Ninth Princess.

Nor was she a powerhouse at Sixth Rank Perfection.

Nor the ruler of the Empire.

She was just a woman.

A woman carrying a baby.

A happy, fulfilled, and beloved woman.

...

Although his wives were all pregnant, the nightly passion did not stop.

Due to the Fertility Holy Body and the "Chaos Yin-Yang Taiyi Scripture", cultivating while pregnant increased the effects by fifty percent.

This boost was too enticing; no one was willing to waste it.

Every night, the lights of the master bedroom still remained lit until dawn.

His wives stayed by Lin Yun's side, kissing and hugging him as much as ever.

Pregnancy did not make them weak; instead, it improved their complexion, made their skin tenderer, and made their eyes brighter.

...

Just like that, ten years quickly passed.

Ten years was neither too long nor too short.

For ordinary people, ten years was an eighth of their lifetime.

For a Martial Artist, ten years was but a mere instant in their long life.

Lin Yun was forty-eight years old this year, in the prime of his life.

Among his wives, the youngest had just reached adulthood.

The oldest, Hua Caili, was only around a thousand years old.

But Martial Artists had very long lifespans; a Fifth-Order Martial Artist had a lifespan of 3,200 years, while a Sixth Rank Martial Artist had 6,400 years.

They were all still very young and had plenty of time.

This ten years, Lin Yun married eight more wives.

Every single one was carefully handpicked by Su Yingxue, with their looks scoring at least ninety-eight points.

There was a princess from the Moyun Kingdom, a Genius from the Fenglan Kingdom, the number one beauty of the Tianshuang Kingdom, and a peerless socialite from the Luoyun Kingdom.

Each was the most outstanding woman of her respective country, a one-in-a-million existence.

They had different identities and experiences, but they shared one thing in common.

That was their beauty.

A beauty so breathtaking that one couldn't look away.

Every time Su Yingxue saw their portraits, her eyes would light up.

The total number of Lin Yun's wives reached sixty.

Sixty wives, sixty kinds of charm.

The bed in the master bedroom was replaced with an even larger one.

With sixty-one people lying on it, they could still turn over and roll around.

The activation progress of the Fertility Holy Body reached sixty percent.

With every additional wife he married, the activation progress would increase slightly.

Although the increase wasn't much, it was continuous.

From the initial zero to the current sixty percent, Lin Yun had already come a long way.

Only forty percent more was needed for full activation.

When that time came, the full power of the Fertility Holy Body would be revealed.

Over these ten years, the Lin Family Manor was filled with endless good news as his wives gave birth one after another, adding a whopping 268 adorable children.

Now, the total number of Lin Yun's children reached 710.

With the birth of each child, a massive amount of ten-year Martial Arts Insight Soul Spheres were completely refined and absorbed by Lin Yun.

His accumulated cultivation Foundation reached a whopping 7,100 years, making his Foundation unbelievably solid.

His own strength naturally rose along with it.

The detection range of his Divine Thought expanded to seven hundred kilometers.

His Space Domain steadily settled at two hundred kilometers.

The miniature Internal World within his Dantian's Golden Core also grew to a size of three hundred meters.

His overall strength was profound and unfathomable.

One day at noon, the warm sun shone into the master bedroom.

Lin Yun opened his eyes, with the gentle and moving Su Yingxue quietly snuggling in his arms, and the rest of his wives lying all around him.

Every single one of them possessed peerless beauty and an ethereal temperament.

They all possessed rare, stunning faces, and their eyes were filled with tenderness.

After waking up, Lin Yun softly chatted and laughed with everyone, sharing intimate moments for a long time before reluctantly getting up to head to the cultivation chamber alone for quiet cultivation.

...

In the center of the cultivation chamber was a cushion woven from thousand-year-old Spiritual Plants.

Sitting on it could calm one's mind and accelerate cultivation speed.

Lin Yun sat cross-legged on the cushion, closing his eyes to focus.

Over these ten years, the System had successively rewarded him with the sixth, seventh, eighth, and ninth layers of "Blood Qi Boiling".

Each layer was rewarded when Bai Ling gave birth to a child.

Because Bai Ling's Martial Arts Talent was Heaven-grade Peak, and the offspring she gave birth to were also Heaven-grade Peak, the System would reward him with the subsequent layers of such a terrifying secret technique.

The ninth layer had only been rewarded a month ago.

Lin Yun had already cultivated it to the Major Achievement Realm, just a step away from Perfection.

He circulated the secret technique, and his blood Qi surged within his body like boiling water.

Every muscle vibrated, every meridian expanded, and every cell cheered.

His strength grew, his speed increased, and his reflexes quickened.

Lin Yun guided this power to circulate within his body.

Once, twice, and yet again...

Each cycle made the circulation of the secret technique smoother.

Each cycle made the boost more stable.

Each cycle brought him one step closer to Perfection.

Three hours later.

The last bit of obstruction disappeared.

The secret technique circulated as smoothly as flowing water and drifting clouds, incredibly fluid.

The ninth layer of "Blood Qi Boiling" had been cultivated to the Perfection Realm.

A tenfold boost.

At any time and any place, as long as he wished, he could unleash ten times his combat power.

No preparation or buildup was needed; with just a single thought, he would have tenfold combat power.

Lin Yun opened his eyes, a sharp glint flashing through them.

It was still early, so he decided to try breaking through to the Seventh Rank.
