80: The birth of a child by Hong Ling, the law of reward power
At sunset.
The afterglow of the setting sun draped the Cao Mansion in a golden cloak.
Under Cao Nie's friendly communication, Liu Su Su and Ye Shuang Han finally agreed to bear him children.
Cao Nie was very happy.
For this.
He doted on them for three days and three nights.
When the sunlight of the fourth day shone in, Cao Nie had already dressed early and walked out of the door.
On the large soft bed behind him, two snow-white delicate bodies were faintly visible.
Liu Su Su and Ye Shuang Han's bodies trembled slightly.
They were clearly still immersed in the afterglow and had not yet emerged.
The door opened, revealing a maid in a light gauze skirt, bowing her head in respectful waiting.
Seeing Cao Nie emerge, she curtsied slightly, a flash of white inadvertently exposed from her collar, then quickly hidden.
“Patriarch, Hong Ling and Madam Yao Yao are about to give birth.”
The maid raised her eyes and spoke, a hint of shyness in her flowing gaze.
Cao Nie nodded: “Lead the way.”
The evening breeze swept by, the light gauze clinging to the maid's graceful figure, outlining a beautiful silhouette in the twilight.
Cao Nie followed closely behind.
His gaze was clear; how could a woman with a score below ninety disturb his Dao Heart?
A month ago.
Thinking that he had more women, Cao Nie arranged for fifty maids to serve Hong Ling and the others.
Their beauty was exceptional.
According to the system's rating, they were at least eighty points or more.
When it was known that Cao Nie was recruiting maids.
The entire Azure Vast Dao Domain boiled over.
Who didn't know now.
Cao Nie was the undisputed candidate for the Dao Domain Master of the Azure Vast Dao Domain.
When out and about, who in the Azure Vast Dao Domain didn't call him Dao Domain Master.
This Dao Domain Master was not just anyone who could become one.
Besides being invincible in the Dao Domain, when living beings in the Azure Vast Dao Domain encountered danger, he needed to step forward.
Cao Nie did not refuse this, nor did he directly agree.
To become his maid, young ladies from some families, as well as the proud daughters of heaven within sects, eagerly signed up.
Those ultimately selected were all beautiful women of both talent and appearance.
Cao Nie was well aware of the intentions of these women.
The hidden anticipation in their flowing glances, the deliberately slowed movements when they bowed, and the faint, almost imperceptible fragrance, all spoke of their desire to attach themselves.
Sure enough, just a few days after the recruitment, maids would always find excuses to approach him.
Even bolder ones would intentionally wear loose maid outfits, and with a gentle breeze, a large expanse of white would be revealed, completely bare.
Fortunately, Cao Nie was not fond of female charms and was not seduced by these maids, otherwise, he would have suffered greatly.
The maid saw that Cao Nie was slow to act, and a hint of disappointment flashed in her eyes.
Her waist was almost sore from twisting, yet the Patriarch remained unmoved, and she couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
Led by the maid, Cao Nie arrived outside the delivery room.
As soon as he entered, he heard a loud infant cry break the silence.
[Congratulations to the host for the birth of his third son, rewarding the Law of Strength.]
Seeing Cao Nie stride over.
The midwife quickly and carefully held the infant in the swaddling clothes, respectfully presenting him.
“Patriarch, it's a young master, the main wife has given birth to a young master.”
Cao Nie reached out and took him, his gaze falling on the infant's rosy little face, and he couldn't help but laugh loudly: “Good! Good! Good! Hong Ling, you've worked hard.”
He turned and came to the side of the bed, leaning down to gaze at Hong Ling's slightly pale face, his eyes full of tenderness.
To give birth to this child, she had truly suffered a lot.
“Husband, let me see the child.” Hong Ling weakly yet expectantly reached out her hand.
Cao Nie quickly gently handed the infant in his arms to her, then turned and sat down on the edge of the bed.
Hong Ling lowered her head to gaze, her fingertips gently stroking the infant's cheek, and after a slight ponder.
“Husband, how about... calling him Cao Tian Xiao?”
Cao Nie's eyes lit up slightly, and he nodded with a smile: “Tian Xiao... a good name! It's as you say.”
Hearing this, a satisfied smile appeared on Hong Ling's pale face, and she gently nestled into Cao Nie's embrace.
Just at this moment.
On the bed not far away, a loud infant cry suddenly rang out.
Cao Nie and Hong Ling turned their heads to look at the same time.
Yao Yao had also given birth successfully.
[Congratulations to the host for the birth of his fourth son, rewarding the Law of Five Elements.]
“Husband, go see Sister Yao Yao.” Hong Ling said softly.
In the Cao family, regardless of age, all the women respected Hong Ling as the eldest sister; Qing Rou ranked second, as the second sister; the rest were ranked according to the order of their pregnancies.
“Alright.”
Cao Nie nodded, stood up, and walked towards the other side of the bed.
Before he even got close, the midwife had already approached, holding the infant in swaddling clothes.
“Congratulations, Patriarch, another young master has been added.”
She carefully handed over the infant.
Cao Nie reached out and took him, his movements gentle, then turned and sat down by Yao Yao's bedside.
“Madam, you've worked hard.”
A gentle smile appeared on Yao Yao's pale face.
In these past few months, she had gradually accepted the fact of her ex-husband's death.
As for Xiao Bei, he had been killed by a demonic cultivator.
Now her entire heart was on Cao Nie and this newborn child.
Yao Yao gently stroked the infant in her arms, then looked up and said softly: “Husband, please give the child a name.”
Cao Nie handed the child back to her, stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze deep in thought.
He paced back and forth three steps in front of the bed, his robes slightly swaying.
Suddenly, he turned and fixed his gaze, his voice firm: “How about Zhan Xing?”
Hearing this, a faint smile bloomed on Yao Yao's lips, and she gently tapped the infant's nose: “Cao Zhan Xing, from now on, you will be called Cao Zhan Xing.”
The infant in the swaddling clothes seemed to sense something, stopped crying, and revealed a healing smile.
“Husband, look, Zhan Xing is smiling.”
Cao Nie smiled slightly.
In the blink of an eye, he already had four children.
A few days later.
Cao Nie was playing with his wives and concubines in the Listening Rain Pavilion.
Then he heard Cao Hui's voice from the courtyard entrance.
“Patriarch, someone is looking for you.”
After merging with the Ancient Divine Body, Cao Hui's cultivation reached the fourth layer of the Gui Xu Realm, second only to the Nine Great Elders.
With the current environment, the thirty-six stewards' cultivation had advanced by leaps and bounds.
They reached the peak of the Po Wang Realm, and due to insufficient talent, they could not comprehend the true meaning of Gui Xu, stopping there.
Seeing Cao Hui coming.
He stood up and came to the courtyard entrance, asking in a deep voice: “Who?”
Cao Hui's expression was solemn as he slowly spoke: “They claim to be from the Heaven Sword Manor, a group of more than ten people, led by a beautiful woman with astonishing aura. The First Elder has already taken people to test their strength.”
He paused, his voice growing deeper: “Just now, the First Elder secretly sent a message saying that the beautiful woman's cultivation is unfathomable, at least a powerful expert of the fifth layer of the Asking Dao Realm or above.”
Cao Nie lowered his brows in thought, softly muttering the words Heaven Sword Manor.
Suddenly, a beautiful and peerless figure flashed through his mind.
Wasn't it Luoshen Yin, who had occupied Zhao Ling Shuang's body in the Lingxiao Immortal Dynasty, who had threatened him as being from the Heaven Sword Manor?
After the investigation a while ago.
This Heaven Sword Manor was extraordinary.
The Manor Master, Zhao Xiao, had just broken through to the Half-step Tribulation Extinction Realm a few years ago.
He was also an old monster who had lived for two hundred thousand years.
The Asking Dao Realm has a lifespan of three hundred thousand years, and it is expected that he will become a true Tribulation Extinction Realm mighty expert in the remaining one hundred thousand years.
Legend has it that ten thousand years ago, he married an eighteen-year-old peerless beauty, who was the most beautiful woman in the hundred nearby Dao Domains.
Whether this story is true or false, it has added a touch of mystery to this old man.
Moreover, with his current cultivation, there are fewer than three people in the surrounding hundred Dao Domains who can contend with him.
He is truly the King of the Hundred Dao Domains.
In addition, Zhao Xiao has a terrifying identity.
He is the only Artifact Emperor in the nearby hundred Dao Domains, on par with a Pill Emperor.
With Cao Nie's current combat strength, he naturally wasn't afraid of this Half-step Tribulation Extinction Realm Artifact Emperor.
It was just that he found it strange.
Back then, Luoshen Yin had left a harsh remark.
She would descend upon the Azure Vast Dao Domain to teach him a lesson.
Why would she now visit so politely?
With this doubt in mind, Cao Nie led Cao Hui towards the Cao family's reception hall.
