Chapter 151
Then, a month later, on this particular day, Liu Xinyue sensed the change. “Husband, it seems like I’m pregnant,” she revealed.
Pregnant!
Li Su placed his head on Liu Xinyue’s belly, listening carefully and confirming that she was expecting their child.
“Don’t worry, it’ll only delay things by a year. I still have over a thousand years of life left,” Liu Xinyue reassured herself, already mentally prepared for this development. Naturally, Liu Xinyue couldn’t stop her tears, finally breathing a sigh of relief.
After Liu Xinyue became pregnant, Li Su refrained from being intimate with her. Li Su continued to stay behind to accompany Liu Xinyue because the concubine he had previously taken in the Water Moon Sect had come out of seclusion.
Li Su had also spent some time with her for the past half a month. He had initially considered sending Liu Xinyue to the Li family. Still, when he thought about it, Liu Xinyue had been in the Water Moon Sect for over a thousand years, so he let her stay there.
“Li Su, don’t worry, I’ll take good care of Xinyue,” Liu Xinshui reassured him. Li Su naturally trusted her.
“Jing Ping and Tian Xuan, do you two also wish to marry Li Su?” However, soon, Liu Xinshui faced a new problem. After Li Su had stayed there for nearly three months, some of the disciples in the Water Moon Sect expressed their desire to marry him. If there had been no precedent, it might have been fine.
In the past, female cultivators in the Water Moon Sect had also married Li Su. The woman lived in the Water Moon Sect, and Li Su hadn’t forced her to go to the Li family. As a precedent, some female disciples were naturally attracted to Li Su and wanted to marry him. “Alright,” Liu Xinshui reluctantly agreed. So, shortly after Li Su returned, he began taking concubines again, and this time, his concubines were several disciples from the Water Moon Sect.
All the female cultivators in the Water Moon Sect were exceptionally beautiful, so Li Su’s choice of concubines attracted the attention of some cultivators. However, there wasn’t as much commotion as when Li Su married Liu Xinyue, as cultivation remained the top priority for these cultivators. Some who had been in seclusion for a long time still didn’t know that Li Su had married Liu Xinyue.
It took nearly a year to marry these several female cultivators and one by one, they became pregnant. In the second year, Liu Xinyue gave birth to a child for Li Su. “It’s a girl!” Liu Xinyue exclaimed happily. She preferred girls; their daughter could be raised in the Water Moon Sect without being sent to another immortal sect. “Let’s name her Liusu,” Liu Xinyue suggested, combining one character from her name and one from Li Su’s name, adding “Xiao” (meaning “small”) to make it slightly more feminine.
“Li Su, she has a third-grade spiritual root,” she informed him after testing their daughter’s spiritual root. Soon, the spiritual root of their daughter was tested, and it turned out to be a third-grade spiritual root. Their daughter had good luck, even though Liu Xinyue’s spiritual root was only in fourth grade.
Liu Xinyue was over a thousand years old and only in the fourth layer of the Nascent Soul stage, while Mystic Moon, the sect leader, was not yet four hundred years old. Mystic Moon’s innate talent for cultivation was superior, although demonic cultivation had also played a role.
Sometimes, luck played a significant role in spiritual root quality. For instance, even among ordinary mortals, there was a possibility of giving birth to a Heaven-grade spiritual root or even an Immortal-grade spiritual root. However, considering the population size, such occurrences were rare. How many ordinary mortals were there in this world? Among them, only a few would give birth to Heaven-grade spiritual roots.
From this perspective, the effect of Li Su’s reward in increasing the chances of obtaining excellent spiritual roots had indeed started to take effect. Nevertheless, this effect couldn’t be a sudden, concentrated burst but a gradual increase over time in a larger population. After the birth of their first daughter, she was still raised within the Water Moon Sect.
Not only did she have a third-grade spiritual root, but she also had a good constitution, with the aura of the Sunflower Water within her from birth, a sign of a natural-born expert. “Husband, when I was pregnant, I used the energy from the Sunflower Water Pearl to nourish her. This way, her constitution would be even better when she’s born, and she can start cultivating earlier,” Liu Xinyue explained.
The Sunflower Water Pearl appeared to have this function. Typically, children could only begin cultivation at 12, but their daughter might be able to start at 10 or even 8. Early cultivation had its advantages. Children learned quickly and developed better cultivation habits.
Cultivation habits were crucial, affecting efficiency and results. So, Li Su again gave two Sunflower Water Pearls to Liu Xinyue and hired many mortal maids and caretakers to care for the child. Shortly after, another concubine in the Water Moon Sect gave birth to a child for Li Su. “Why does this keep happening?”
After Liu Xinyue gave birth to a child for Li Su and a month passed, Liu Xinyue found herself in an awkward situation again. This was because Li Su was still with Liu Xinyue in the Water Moon Sect, and she endured another uncomfortable and embarrassing month. Just when she finally breathed a sigh of relief, Liu Xinyue approached her.
“Sister, I’m pregnant again,” Liu Xinyue said.
“What?” Liu Xinshui’s eyes widened in surprise. “How did you get pregnant again, Xinyue? Are you planning to keep this one?” Liu Xinshui asked.
Liu Xinyue nodded firmly, “Of course, sister. I’m going to keep this one. It won’t delay anything.”
Liu Xinyue had made significant progress in her cultivation over the past year, reaching the seventh layer of the Nascent Soul stage with the help of the Sunflower Water Pearl. She was confident she could reach the Nascent Soul stage with the pearl, although it would take some time. In the entire Northern Region, there was only one publicly known Nascent Soul cultivator.
