Xing Wu watched Ye Yun lean closer, not resisting, and closed her eyes.
It had been quite some time since they had shared passionate moments.
Just as their lips were about to meet, something unexpected happened.
With a bang, the door was flung open.
"Master, I..."
Chen Yan'er entered with great enthusiasm, intending to inform her master that she was done.
Upon entering, she stumbled upon such a steamy scene. Her small face instantly turned as red as an apple, and she waved her hands repeatedly.
"I'm sorry! I'm sorry! Disciple arrived at an inopportune moment!"
Before Ye Yun could speak, she quickly turned around and shut the door with unusual haste.
Outside the room, Chen Yan'er felt her heart still pounding wildly. Leaning against the wall, her face was flushed, and she muttered to herself.
"Master and Mistress are truly something, not closing the door when they're doing such things!"
The thought of what might have transpired only made her feel more embarrassed.
Inside the room, after Chen Yan'er left, Ye Yun and Xing Wu were left looking at each other.
"This..."
Ye Yun felt a touch of helplessness. He glanced at his wife, Xing Wu. With the interruption, the mood for intimacy was gone.
"Ahem, just be careful and don't hurt yourself."
The atmosphere was a bit awkward, so Ye Yun uttered some bland words to ease the tension.
Xing Wu sat down on the side, feigning calmness as she picked up her tea and took a sip.
"You don't need to tell me. I'll be careful myself."
As she said, being a Lord God-level expert, it was merely difficult to conceive. Once pregnant, it was generally quite safe.
Ye Yun sat back on the sofa, letting out a long sigh.
"It's hard to believe, really. So soon, I'm going to be a father."
Xing Wu smiled faintly and asked, "Have you thought about how you'll raise her?"
"This is something I really need to consider carefully..."
Ye Yun pondered for a long time. Although he had never raised a daughter before, he had nurtured so many disciples, so he did have some experience.
After a while, he said with a smile, "Then once she's born, I'll prepare a mountain of heavenly treasures for her, to elevate her talent to an unprecedented level!"
"Then I'll train her in cultivation. She can learn whatever she wants, have whatever she desires. And when she's older..."
As he spoke with great enthusiasm, Xing Wu interrupted him, rolling her eyes.
"I have a feeling that by the way you're talking, she'll definitely be spoiled rotten in the end?"
Ye Yun spread his hands. "If she's spoiled, she's spoiled. She's my child; if I don't spoil her, who will?"
"..."
At first glance, what Ye Yun said seemed quite reasonable.
Xing Wu raised an eyebrow and playfully asked, "Aren't you afraid your daughter will turn out to be a bad person? And then meet someone even more monstrous than you?"
"At that time, won't you become like those forces you've destroyed?"
"Ah, this..."
Ye Yun was speechless and coughed lightly.
"Alright, at least I'll teach her not to offend people casually, especially not to bully those who might say 'don't bully the poor young man'..."
He didn't want to become a stepping stone for some chosen one one day.
After all, the myriad realms were vast, and no one could guarantee what kind of prodigies might appear.
Xing Wu smiled with amusement.
"It's good that you know. You don't need to dote on her excessively. It's enough to let her grow up happily."
Indeed, the worries of parents were universal. This was perhaps the greatest wish most parents had for their children. Ye Yun wholeheartedly agreed.
Then, Ye Yun suddenly recalled the Origin of Creation he had obtained earlier and said mysteriously.
"Oh, right. I stumbled upon a good item earlier. You should take some time to absorb it."
"A good item? What is it?"
Xing Wu looked at him with curiosity. Ye Yun then produced a small, colorless crystal from somewhere.
From its aura, it seemed like an ordinary piece of crystal. It had no Xuan Qi or divine power fluctuations.
It didn't even radiate any elemental power, appearing to be nothing more than a common crystal shard.
Xing Wu took it from his hand, looking puzzled. "Is this the good item you're talking about? It looks quite ordinary. Does it have any special uses?"
"It has tremendous uses. It can help you reach the realm of Creation God more easily!"
Hearing this, Xing Wu was finally shocked.
"Breakthrough to Creation God? Are you serious?"
"Of course. You'll know when you try it."
Ye Yun said with a smile. Xing Wu paused in astonishment, then asked, "What about you? Wouldn't it be better for you to absorb it yourself?"
"You don't need to worry about me. Of course, I have something even better for my own use."
Ye Yun smiled faintly, holding her hand.
"You just absorb it with peace of mind. No matter what, I'll never be surpassed by you."
This remark made Xing Wu raise her eyebrows.
"You're getting more arrogant by the day, yet not progressing elsewhere. Do you really think I can never catch up to you?"
"All I can say is, my dear wife, you can try your best."
"I will try, then. Let's see who reaches the realm of Creation God first."
"And if I win?"
Ye Yun asked with a playful smile, looking at Xing Wu's increasingly graceful figure with a hint of mischief in his eyes.
Xing Wu simply snorted in response.
"If you win, you can do whatever you wish."
"You said it yourself, my dearest wife!"
Ye Yun's lips curved upward. Instantly, countless 'little games' sprung to mind.
Usually, Xing Wu took the initiative, so this was a rare opportunity.
Xing Wu was unfazed and slowly said, "Of course, but if you lose..."
"Don't worry. If you prove to be the better one, I'll do the same!"
Ye Yun replied with a confident smile.
"As long as it's not a steel scouring pad, bring it on!"
"Steel scouring pad? What's that?"
Xing Wu was slightly confused by the term he suddenly used.
Ye Yun's expression turned awkward. He suddenly remembered that such a thing likely didn't exist in this cultivation world, and he coughed lightly.
"It's nothing, just a kind of prop..."
Mentioning props, Xing Wu's face flushed slightly.
It seemed some past memory had resurfaced.
She also coughed, trying to calm herself.
"In short... it's a deal. I won't lose to you this time!"
"It's good that you're confident, my dear."
Ye Yun chuckled. Betting against him like this was a bit too overconfident.
His confidence undoubtedly stemmed from his Chaos Supreme Treasure, or rather, his Return System.
Ever since he had given her the Origin of Creation, the prompt from Xiao Chan had appeared in his mind.
[You have bestowed the Origin of Creation upon your Immortal Companion. Congratulations on receiving a million-fold return. You have obtained: True Origin of Creation]
