Chapter 116: Chapter 116- System’s Help

The sound that came from her was not a moan and not a scream and had no appropriate category. Her hands flew back to the pine, gripping blind, as she felt it—the deep pulse of him, the spill that landed somewhere behind her hips and radiated warmth through her entire lower body like stepping into a hot spring.

She pressed her forehead against the bark and breathed.

"System," Cang said.

She felt him still inside her when he said it, heard the particular quality of his voice that was aimed at something she couldn’t see, and had gathered by now that this was a habit of his that she did not have the context to fully understand.

"Confirm."

The blue interface materialized in his peripheral vision where she couldn’t read it.

[Pregnancy: Initiated]

[Estimated Gestation Period: 1 Month]

[Cultivation Potential: High — Partner: Pure Body Adjacent (Residual Absorption Present)]

He read the last line twice.

Interesting, the dry part of his mind noted. She’s been absorbing trace dual cultivation energy secondhand from Xiao Hua’s contact. Running proximity cultivation without knowing what it is.

The merchant’s wife had better luck than she knew.

He said nothing about this.

His arm came around her waist instead—pulling her back against him, away from the bark, her thick body settling against his chest with the weight of someone whose legs had finished making structural decisions for the morning. His chin found the top of her head.

She was still breathing carefully. Controlled. Reassembling.

"One month," he said.

She went still against him. "What?"

"Your child. One month from now." He felt the full-body tremor that moved through her at that. "Small. Healthy. High cultivation aptitude."

Meiling stood very quietly in his arms for a long moment.

Her hands had come to rest over her own abdomen, fingers pressing flat against the silk, over the place where—

She didn’t say anything.

She stood in the morning forest with his arms around her, her back against his chest, her hands over herself, and the old-growth trees filtered the light into fragments over them both.

"I’ll be back before the month is out," he said.

She exhaled. Long and slow. "So are you abandoning me, Sir Cultuvator?"

"No but think for a moment... I need to become stronger soon enough and I will come back," he said.

Another silence. She tilted her head back against his shoulder—not looking up, just resting there, the way a woman rests when she has decided to stop spending energy on a posture.

"It’s terrifying," she said quietly. "How much I believe that."

He looked down at the top of her head.

"Good," he said. Then: "Come. I need to tell the others before I leave."

The cave had been many things over the course of two days.

A shelter. A bedroom. A court where no one had standing to object to anything. An education in the specific vocabulary of women who had run out of words.

Now it was a wreckage of silk and split firewood and scattered herb residue, and every woman in it was flat on something—rock, bedroll, or bare earth—in a position that told its own story without requiring narration.

"Now you understand?"

Cang’s voice came from the center of the cave, where Zhen Ying was braced on all fours against the largest flat stone near the hot spring, white knuckles pressing into the rock, her thick human form arched in the particular geometry of a woman whose body had been answering the same question for the last hour with increasing lack of subtlety.

PAAH. PAAH.

"—Hssss~—!"

The sound that came from the serpent matriarch was not human. It never entirely was when he was this deep. Her white back gleamed with the damp of the cave’s warm air, the full, heavy curve of her hips thrust backward to meet each PAAH with the unconscious rhythm of a body that had been doing this for two days and had developed opinions about pace. Her thick ass clapped back against him—both cheeks rippling outward from the impact with each drive, the obscene slap of it echoing off the cave walls and landing in the ears of the five women arranged in various states of ruin around them.

PAAH PAAH PAAH.

"Ssshnn~—! Ahn~—! Deeper—"

Her spine curved. The full, heavy swing of her breasts beneath her—larger in human form than in her natural proportions, the body’s concession to two centuries of adjusting to cultivators’ preferences—swayed forward with each thrust, the dark peaks of her nipples dragging against the cool stone of the flat rock.

She turned her head. Her dark hair fell across one shoulder in a matted rope. Her eyes—usually the cool, metallic thing of a three-hundred-year-old predator—had gone half-lidded with the specific opacity of a woman who had surrendered the last architectural layer of control about six hours ago.

"I understand nothing," she said, breathing hard between words, "that I—Ahn~—did not already—Hsss~—know before—"

PAAAH.

Her elbows buckled. Her chest pressed flat to the rock.

"HSSSS~—AAHN~—!"

"There it is," Cang said.

Around them, the rest of his harem occupied their respective catastrophes.

Song Mei was on her back on the far bedroll, ankles crossed, both hands pressed over her lower abdomen in the posture of a woman conducting a quiet internal inventory. Her clothes had long since been discarded as a concept.

The seed that had been deposited in her over the previous two days moved in slow trails down the inside of her thighs with the unhurried persistence of gravity, and she stared at the cave ceiling with the detached philosophical expression of someone who had been fucked into a new understanding of her own nervous system and was still processing the implications.

My cultivation, she thought, has advanced again.

She knew this because she could feel it—the clean, bright hum of Qi Condensation Late Stage settling into her meridians like fresh water into dry channels, the particular sensation of a stage break she had not attempted and had somehow achieved anyway. She kept her face neutral.

She did not examine what the advancement had cost her in other currencies.

Xiao Hua was bent over a low rock to Song Mei’s right—not by force, simply because this was where she had ended up and her body had not yet negotiated with her mind about whether to move.

She was folded at the waist over the rounded stone, red bridal dress bunched at her hips where it had been pushed and not arranged back, both her holes marked with the evidence of everything that had happened and continuing to leak it in slow, indecent trails down her inner thighs.

Her face, pressed sideways against the rock’s surface, wore the specific expression cultivators of R18 fiction called ahegao and that Xiao Hua herself would have had no vocabulary for—eyes slightly unfocused, mouth parted around nothing, the slack, blank honesty of a body that had exhausted its capacity for shame two orgasms ago and was now simply existing.

She was breathing. That was the current benchmark.

Meiling occupied the corner of the cave nearest the water, sitting with her back against the stone wall and her thick legs extended, dress rucked around her waist with the irreversible disorder of clothing that had been moved in too many directions to remember where it started.

Her hands rested flat on the cave floor on either side of her hips.

Her heavy breasts sat against her chest with the weight of things that had been handled extensively and knew it.

Her expression was the furthest from blank of any of them—a specific, composed, fourteen-years-of-marriage calm that she wore like armor over the raw evidence her body was otherwise broadcasting without shame.

She was the only one who had retained, against all probability, the posture of a woman who had once run a household.

Suyin was the cave’s most dramatic architecture.

The older maid—rescued from bandits what felt like another lifetime ago—had at some point been arranged against a stalactite formation and had apparently decided, at some further point, that this was simply her location now.

Her wrists were bound above her head with a length of silk cord—thin, decorative, the kind Cang had pulled from Meiling’s discarded sash without particular commentary—and the cord looped around the natural stone column with the casual efficiency of a man who had done this before and considered it administrative rather than ceremonial.

Suyin hung from it in a loose, comfortable suspension, head lolled, the thick, maternal curves of her figure displayed in the cave light with the artless candor of complete exhaustion.

Her nipples were tied—a second length of cord, looped between them, the taut thread pulling both peaks forward and together in a presentation that was purely functional in his mind and devastatingly not in practice.

Both her holes ran with evidence. A faint, continuous sound came from her with each breath.

"Mmm~... Mmm~..."
