At this moment, Paper Kite stepped out.
Since her Wind Spirit Blood awakened, her entire demeanor had significantly improved. Her body was light, her skin had a faint glow, and her cultivation rapidly advanced with the help of resources like Spirit Crystals. She was only a step away from being Innate.
Looking at the sealed ancestral home, she sighed, "Husband, are we going to be trapped here forever? They really have persistence, attacking for ten days straight."
"With a Golden Core Zhenren forcing them, they have to continue even if unwilling. It doesn’t affect us anyway. I’ve prepared enough resources that the baby in your belly will be able to walk, so don’t worry, just peacefully nurture and give birth here."
Shen Wang shook his head, knowing that Paper Kite had been a bit anxious during this time due to her pregnancy.
"True, it’s very peaceful here. Without this happening, I’d probably still be busy in the shop."
Paper Kite chuckled lightly, walked over to Shen Wang, leaned against him, and felt much more at ease.
Shen Wang touched Paper Kite’s not-yet-obvious belly, saying, "After you break through to Innate, you’ll need to spend some time looking into medical books to help Jia’Er deliver when the time comes."
"That’s easy. I’ll help Sister Jia’Er deliver, and then she’ll help me deliver."
Paper Kite said with a playful smile.
Shen Wang looked at Paper Kite, knowing that this environment still pressured people.
"Come, let me nurture your body."
Shen Wang took Paper Kite’s hand and led her into the room.
After Foundation Establishment, Shen Wang’s Dantian still contained two parts of Spiritual Essence, half Wood Attribute Spiritual Essence, and half Fire Attribute.
He mobilized the Wood Attribute Spiritual Essence, releasing a wisp of green that entered Paper Kite’s meridians.
The latter showed an expression of enjoyment, saying, "Husband, you’re so good. You’ve reached Foundation Establishment and still exhaust your cultivation to nurture my body. How many people can enjoy this treatment?"
"Even reaching Foundation Establishment, no matter how powerful, you can’t let pregnant ones like you bear the pressure of nurturing offspring alone."
Shen Wang smiled and said, "But once you have the child, I’ll be doing less of this."
Nurturing the meridians is indeed very exhausting in terms of energy and cultivation, given that Jia’Er and Paper Kite’s meridians are fragile yet numerous. Shen Wang must be careful each time; nurturing them is as taxing as a battle.
"Husband has done a lot. Nurturing for ten months, having this for such a long time, how many women out there can enjoy it?"
Paper Kite said emotionally, "Besides, after having the child, I need to speed up my cultivation progress. Husband’s power might even interfere with my cultivation, you know."
"Say no more, just focus on absorbing the benefits."
Shen Wang shook his head. Now his Wood Attribute Spiritual Essence was greatly beneficial to Paper Kite, needing her active absorption to gain the maximum benefits.
Paper Kite closed her eyes in cooperation with Shen Wang.
Two incense sticks later, Shen Wang finished nurturing.
Paper Kite was drenched in sweat, her physical status visibly improved.
Meanwhile, Shen Wang was pondering whether he could increase the meridian nurturing to gain more rewards.
Currently, nurturing nine times a day, one incense stick each time, spending over two hours daily, it indeed affected cultivation quite a bit.
However, with system rewards being better than hard cultivation, Shen Wang naturally wanted to gain more rewards.
He attempted to nurture Paper Kite once more, but the system didn’t reward him.
"A person can be nurtured at most three times a day; it seems the body needs time to digest, and more would be harmful."
Shen Wang speculated the reason, feeling a bit helpless.
Before being trapped, and with a lower realm, he wasn’t too worried about these things. Diligent cultivation every day still provided a good improvement.
Now that his realm was higher, the speed of normal cultivation had slowed significantly, highlighting the value of system rewards.
"The situation has changed, so now I need to increase the targets for meridian nurturing."
Shen Wang became more certain about nurturing new Longevity Species with Lan Kui.
He didn’t show it but started paying more attention to Lan Kui’s movements.
Even with her exceptional talent, Foundation Establishment wasn’t easy for Lan Kui, unlike Shen Wang, who had system assistance; he’d be forced to improve even without attempting breakthroughs.
A wave of fluctuation came from the side room. Shen Wang, who was cultivating, opened his eyes and smiled.
"Finally broke through; a Great Demon can now choose to fully transform into a human. Time to receive her."
The path of demon cultivation divides into two: transformation and non-transformation.
The former is similar to humans, akin to martial artists, both Qi Cultivation and Body Refinement, with some able to do Divine Cultivation.
The latter retains the original form, ensuring the body’s strength, unleashing bloodline power, equally strong, though lacking the flexibility and wisdom of a human form.
The partner of a human and demon must be a transformed demon.
Because a transformed demon is equivalent to being Extraordinary and Unworldly, metamorphosing its life state, transforming from a demon to a human, walking the path of humanity, so it can combine with humans.
This is why he waited for Lan Kui to reach Foundation Establishment before receiving her, as only by then can she maintain human form continuously.
Lan Kui stayed in the room for three more days to consolidate her realm, and Shen Wang had Jia’Er prepare a dress before bringing it to the side room.
He pushed the door open. Lan Kui had a layer of blue Demon Essence flowing like water on her body, similar to his Spiritual Essence and equally robust.
This indicated that she hadn’t used external help for the breakthrough, achieving it with the most solid foundation.
Feeling a bit helpless, he thought that without the system, he definitely couldn’t compare to this fish.
Sensing Shen Wang’s arrival, Lan Kui retracted her Demon Essence, revealing her flawless skin.
Shen Wang’s eyes lit up.
Normally, the higher the cultivation on the Qi Cultivation path, the better the aura and physique.
With Lan Kui successfully reaching Foundation Establishment, she underwent a transformation, losing all her scales, her skin and bones like fine jade, and appeared much fuller, becoming a top-grade beauty.
"Not bad, qualified to be my woman."
Shen Wang tried to remain calm, speaking as if he were judging.
Lan Kui smiled, instantly brightening the entire room. She stood up, equally tall, gracefully came before Shen Wang, holding a floral red dress, measuring it against her body.
"From now on, I can wear pretty clothes like human women, truly delightful."
Shen Wang playfully said, "Not only clothes; you’ll also experience many things."
He stepped forward, grabbed Lan Kui’s hand, saying, "Come, let me give you a joyous experience today."
Saying this, he placed the dress aside and embraced Lan Kui, kissing her.
The latter widened her eyes, feeling Shen Wang’s lips, thinking it was quite nice.
An hour later, Lan Kui, dressed in a floral dress, walked out of the room blushingly with Shen Wang.
Jia’Er and Paper Kite stood waiting outside with smiling faces.
They first greeted Shen Wang, then smiled and spoke to Lan Kui.
"Sister Lan Kui, welcome to our family."
"From now on, you’ll learn with us how to be a human woman."
They pulled Lan Kui aside to chat.
They already knew their husband’s decision to take her in and were aware of Lan Kui’s exceptional talent, so naturally they wanted to build a good relationship.
