What? All Seven Women Are Pregnant?
The scorching of the Fallen Heart Flame Heart Fire?
This was certainly no ordinary flame energy that Soul Masters or Soul Beasts could resist and absorb.
They could only devour it bit by bit.
It tempered their skin, flesh, and bones. Back then, the Jia Nan students of the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower had used this method of rapid cultivation to swiftly defeat many experts of the Black-Corner Region.
And they had carved out a name for themselves.
And the Heart Fire Yan Buhui had given them could also control their consciousness.
He could sense changes in their breathing.
That was only because the Fallen Heart Flame itself was with Yan Buhui.
But for Yan Buhui to improve his strength now, there were certainly more barriers he needed to break through at this very moment.
No matter how perilous this was, he could only improve his personal strength by continually siring more offspring.
"All right."
"Sorry for the trouble during this time."
After passing on the Hellfire, Yan Buhui prepared to turn and leave.
"Your Majesty, where are you going?!"
The Three-Headed Hellhound asked Yan Buhui.
"The Star Dou Great Forest."
Yan Buhui gave a cold snort and a smile. "I hear there are even stronger Soul Beasts there. I want to test myself."
"Are the imperial mothers going too?"
The Soul Beasts then asked.
"Their strength and innate foundations are too poor."
"They can stay and guard the home."
Yan Buhui sized up the combat strength of his eight wives. Hardly a single one was a Titled Douluo expert; they were all just a bunch of Soul Elders and Soul Ancestors.
It felt like he was raising rookie Soul Masters.
Huo Wu, Shui Bing'er, Shui Yue'er, and the others were still somewhat lacking in strength.
Their overall strength was on the weaker side even among female Soul Masters. After all, they were all supporting female characters in the original work, with no share of the protagonist's glory, so naturally they could not keep up in cultivation speed.
"All right... with the imperial mothers guarding the home, I feel... they can't hold the Land of Extreme Flame. Besides, some of them aren't loyal to you, Your Majesty."
The Three-Headed Hellhound explained, also voicing his own concern.
"Heh... what, you think those few weak women want to betray me? Wouldn't that be a dead end for them?"
Yan Buhui replied matter-of-factly, "There's only one path for a woman who betrays me, and that's the path to death."
"Besides, before a woman decides to betray you, she's weighed the pros and cons and given it serious thought. Otherwise, she's just cutting her losses in time and knocking you out of the game."
Yan Buhui smiled contemptuously and added, "Why keep a woman like that around?"
"She's no help at all to your growth, nothing but a burden, and she'll stab you in the back at the drop of a hat. Even a born traitor isn't that capable."
"All right. Your Majesty is wise and mighty. As expected, I still cannot compare."
The Three-Headed Hellhound replied calmly after hearing him.
"Ha... cultivate well. Look at those three heads of yours. Don't any of those three brains think about anything? You should know your IQ is three times everyone else's. It's just that differing, conflicting opinions lead to disagreements. Try using a single-minded technique to bring your thoughts together."
Yan Buhui looked at the Three-Headed Hellhound's three flaming heads and couldn't help smiling. Sometimes, three heads didn't work as well as one.
Sure enough, IQ was definitely not something that could be improved just by giving certain people a few extra brains.
"Your Majesty's lesson is well taken."
The Three-Headed Hellhound was not annoyed. He simply stayed to the side, dutifully and quietly listening to Yan Buhui.
He then added, "Whenever I can cultivate a human form like Your Majesty, I'll be much more satisfied."
"You will. All of you will."
"It's only taking human form. You'll have plenty of chances in the future. Ideally, when you reach a hundred thousand years, you should pass your heavenly tribulation and prepare to take human form."
Yan Buhui promised the four beasts, "When that time comes, I'll naturally lend you a hand. Please believe me."
"We will certainly believe in you, Your Majesty, one hundred percent and without conditions!"
The other Soul Beast lords answered with shouts.
"Mm, good."
Yan Buhui chuckled. "Your loyalty is my greatest support."
"We subordinates swear to serve Your Majesty faithfully until death!!!"
The Three-Headed Hellhound, Earth Fire Lizard Lord, Flame Bird, and Flame Martial Wild Boar King shouted in unison.
"Mm, I'll head back first."
"If anything happens in the Land of Extreme Flame, remember to notify me immediately."
Yan Buhui gave these instructions to the four great guardians of the Land of Extreme Flame.
Although Phoenix Emperor Mountain at the center of the Land of Extreme Flame was under Yan Buhui's jurisdiction, the four of them still needed to each command one of its eastern, southern, western, and northern regions. That would also guard against invasions by other Soul Beasts and Soul Masters.
That way, Yan Buhui could securely establish his position as overlord of the Land of Extreme Flame.
Improving their strength meant improving the strength of the entire Land of Extreme Flame.
Ordinary Soul Beasts received no such treatment.
On the contrary, many rare resources were occupied by Soul Beasts at the Ferocious Beast level.
Just like in the Land of Extreme Flame, no place had richer resources than Yan Buhui's dwelling, Phoenix Emperor Mountain.
It was his lair and his main base.
At present, all eight of his beautiful wives were on Phoenix Emperor Mountain.
If some sneaky bastard raided his home,
Yan Buhui was bound to suffer a massive loss.
He would not make a losing deal.
Before long,
Yan Buhui arrived at the cave on Phoenix Emperor Mountain.
When Huo Wu saw him, she immediately ran over and hugged him tightly. "Husband, you're back? Are you hungry? Shall I cook you some fish soup to nourish your body?"
"That's thoughtful of you, wife."
Yan Buhui stroked Huo Wu's forehead and said softly and tenderly, "Thank you for your efforts during this time. You're carrying our baby too, so you'd better rest more. Don't overwork yourself, or my heart will ache."
"Mm..." Huo Wu nodded, then stroked her belly, which had lived up to expectations.
She then looked at the seven sisters from Skywater Academy.
It was rather like an old hen with an egg showing off to young hens with no chicks.
However, the seven sisters from Skywater Academy were quite shocked to hear that Huo Wu was pregnant.
So soon? Could it have been one shot, one hit?
Shui Bing'er, Shui Yue'er, Xue Wu, and the others were astonished.
They only remembered the phoenix essence blood from last night, truly scalding and searing hot as it came rushing toward their faces.
Now, perhaps the seven sisters would also have to follow in Huo Wu's footsteps.
And bear Yan Buhui an offspring.
"In a while, I'll refine a pill for our child to calm the mind and increase their talent."
"That way, at least the child won't have to be like me, born with the properties of Evil Fire. At the very least, the child will be an expert at the level of a Fire Phoenix."
Yan Buhui said with a smile to Huo Wu.
"Mm, that would be good too," Huo Wu replied, her eyes full of approval for Yan Buhui.
And just then,
Yan Buhui planned to start plowing again, unleash his primordial power, and get the Seven Beauties of Skywater ready for pregnancy as well.
"Little lecher!"
"What are you going to do to us?!"
Seeing Yan Buhui slowly approach, Shui Bing'er spoke nervously.
