As the saying goes, a chance encounter between the golden wind and jade dew surpasses countless encounters in the mortal world.
Yu Zhibo, burdened with the heavy responsibility of continuing the family line and blessed with a wife, Bai Chanyi, of unparalleled beauty and seductive charm, had been indulging in intimacy these past few days. He had even delegated the affairs of the Dawn organization to his clone, displaying a certain disregard for his duties akin to a king neglecting court.
One day, after a bout of intense pleasure, Yu Zhibo's mind suddenly flashed with inspiration. Driven by a whim, a thought inexplicably arose in his heart: "It's done!"
Upon careful sensing, he detected three faint life forces emanating from within Bai Chanyi. Did this mean Bai Chanyi was carrying triplets?
These subtle fluctuations were undetectable even by scientific instruments, yet Yu Zhibo perceived them.
"I'm going to be a father?" Yu Zhibo's heart churned with a tempest of emotions, a mixture of the elation of impending fatherhood and a touch of apprehension about his ability to be a good father.
However, the joy far outweighed the anxiety. After a moment of stunned silence, he embraced Bai Chanyi and burst into laughter.
Bai Chanyi, her body glistening with sweat, looked at him with a surprised joy, "Husband, are we...?"
"We're pregnant!" Yu Zhibo's face was radiant with a smile. He held Bai Chanyi close, his movements as delicate as if he were cradling a fragile piece of jade.
At the same time, a hint of confusion arose in his mind.
In essence, fertilization is a complex process. When sperm is ejaculated into the vagina, the sperm separates from the seminal fluid, travels through the cervical canal into the uterine cavity and fallopian tubes. The glycoproteins on the surface of the sperm's acrosome are degraded by enzymes in the female reproductive tract secretions, while the acrosome membrane structure changes, reducing its stability. This process, known as sperm capacitation, takes approximately seven hours. Afterward, the fertilized egg moves from the fallopian tube to the uterus, where it grows and develops over a period of time. Even for transcendent beings like Yu Zhibo and his wife, this process wouldn't be significantly shortened. Therefore, there was no doubt that the successful fertilization this time was the result of their previous persistent efforts, not an immediate conception.
But how long had it been? They married on the third, and today is the eighth. That's only five days!
The reason why A-class transcendent beings find it increasingly difficult to conceive as their level increases is that, beyond the improved genetic tier and the incompatibility caused by their abilities, transcendent beings control too much of the world's energy, leading to a deeper, more elusive connection with the heavens and earth. This makes gestation even more difficult to control, truly leaving it to fate.
For example, if Yu Zhibo were to engage in intimacy with an ordinary girl at this moment, the result would likely be that the ordinary girl couldn't withstand Yu Zhibo's impact and would be pierced through on the spot.
Although Bai Chanyi was also at the A-class twenty-plus stage, she was a celestial fox who had transformed. Even though she was incredibly close to humans, her celestial fox genes still existed and held a dominant position, otherwise, it wouldn't be said that she could transform back into her original form at any time.
Under these circumstances, Bai Chanyi conceived so quickly. It was practically a favor from the heavens.
Was this what Old Wang meant by "the higher the transcendent's level, the more difficult it is to conceive offspring"?
Yu Zhibo felt a surge of joy. The premonitions of a powerful individual were never baseless. Coupled with the faint life fluctuations emanating from Bai Chanyi's body, there was no doubt that this was a triplet pregnancy.
"Should I tell Mom and Dad, or give them a surprise?" Yu Zhibo, beaming, embraced Bai Chanyi and discussed it with her. His gaze inadvertently swept over her delicate, fair collarbone. Noticing the green pendant hanging there was now emitting a faint glow, he stiffened slightly.
This jade pendant was a gift from Wang Shouyi to his daughter. It not only contained powerful formations to evade attacks but also sealed the power of the dual pupils, capable of unleashing three powerful attacks at the divine rank of seventy. It also had a remote positioning and teleportation function. Wang Shouyi had doted on Bai Chanyi to the extreme.
But what did this green glow mean? Was it monitoring Bai Chanyi's physical condition in real-time?
As Yu Zhibo was still bewildered, the space above their large bed suddenly distorted, and a palm-sized vortex appeared, directly facing the two of them covered by the quilt.
Looking through the spatial vortex, Yu Zhibo saw Wang Shouyi and Bai Lanzhi gazing at him and Bai Chanyi with smiles, a look of profound satisfaction on their faces.
"Holy crap!"
Yu Zhibo was utterly stunned, a roar erupting in his heart: "He's definitely a daughter-obsessed father, absolutely!"
He hadn't expected that the seemingly ordinary jade pendant would actually have a life-detection function!
Bai Chanyi, realizing belatedly, blushed crimson as her gaze met her parents' joyful eyes. She covered her head with the quilt with a soft gasp.
"Three children!" Wang Shouyi seemed to have completed some internal ritual. His previously fair face sprouted stubble on his philtrum and chin, transforming him from a youthful appearance to a middle-aged man with a short beard. Stroking his beard, his expression was one of extreme satisfaction.
"Hurry and change back, what are you doing? You look so ugly!" Mother-in-law Bai Lanzhi playfully chided him, lightly hitting his shoulder.
"I'm about to become a grandfather, how can I look younger than my son-in-law? It's not appropriate, not appropriate!" Wang Shouyi said, stroking his beard with a somewhat unpracticed smile. He looked at Yu Zhibo with a hint of regret: "It's a shame it's only three. This child is not good enough. Your mother and I had nine children!"
Yu Zhibo's face darkened: "Is it appropriate to discuss this in front of your juniors?"
Bai Lanzhi's face also darkened. With law-infused fingers, she distorted the void and pinched Wang Shouyi's waist, saying angrily, "Is that all your doing? That was because the Celestial Fox clan in the Spirit Realm was declining, which allowed for the successful conception of nine children. And you're bragging about it!"
"Why is my wife getting so agitated!" Wang Shouyi said helplessly, deflecting Bai Lanzhi's "flower-picking fingers" while speaking to Yu Zhibo:
"I'll come to pick up Chanyi in three days to recuperate. Chanyi's physical body was reshaped with True Celestial Fox Blood. Carrying triplets still carries many unknown risks, so it's best for her to be under our care for recuperation. Remember! No intimacy for the next three days~"
After speaking, he let out a pained cry, as if his waist had been pinched, and hastily closed the spatial vortex.
"Three days?"
Yu Zhibo looked at Bai Chanyi with a complex expression: "Wife, it seems we'll be separated again in three days!"
"Ah?" Bai Chanyi's head emerged from the quilt, and she was completely stunned. Then, she hugged Yu Zhibo with a hint of anger, saying, "No, I don't want to leave Bobo!"
Yu Zhibo looked at her with gentle eyes: "I'll visit you often, for the sake of our children!"
Patting Bai Chanyi's smooth, jade-like back, Yu Zhibo felt a sense of unease.
What was the reason behind Wang Shouyi's mention of Bai Chanyi's reshaped Celestial Fox body and the risks associated with nurturing triplets? Could there be any hidden dangers within Bai Chanyi?
However, seeing Wang Shouyi's relaxed expression, it was likely that no major problems would arise.
With this thought, Yu Zhibo's heart settled. He decided to find Wang Shouyi later to clarify the underlying principles.
