Humanities Heart (3)

With the taking of a tenth wife being confirmed with such a kiss. Lei Jin sent a message to Azure Heart. "Mother-in-Law, I have news for you." The message said. 

In just a few moments Azure Heart opened the door in a hurry. If it was something like the message she got, it meant that it must be kept as secret as possible. At least that's what she assumed right off the bat. "Jin'er, what happened? A message like that is really out of the ordinary." She quickly asked, then noticed Ruo Xi holding onto Lei Jin tightly. "Oh, I see, so that's the case! Excellent! I'll go let everyone know of this!" She added. 

"Wait, we shouldn't tell everyone. Keep this information from the twins. I will reveal it to them in several months. If it isn't possible that's fine you can just say there is a special surprise waiting for them in the future." Lei Jin said. 

"Oh, I see, you want to give them a reward for trying their best. So you offer the incentive. And it also works as a test to truly temper their minds. The excitement of a surprise and the need to clear one's mind and relax are quite difficult to balance… Just like their power is! That wouldn't happen to be the deeper reason for having them practice that way is it? To think you noticed all of that in a matter of a simple glance." Azure Heart said, realizing that even she had missed that.

"Indeed, I made the twins practice that method in such a way on purpose. Their power is immense. However, I am able to control it and suppress it. That said… It wasn't easy and is causing quite a great deal of strain. It would be different if I wasn't hyper inflating time in this Great Territory. It means I am suppressing their power ten times over and faster than it releases… Oh, would you thank the Ancient Divine Spirits for their assistance in that matter. Without their constant utilization of the twins' endless source of energy. I'm afraid under these current conditions I would have to limit the time flow down to 9 times. Their efforts have bought everyone an additional 40 years." Lei Jin answered.

"They really have been a huge help in this war effort. I'll thank them for you. Oh, and how should I tell the people? Your family is quite different from others. So does this provide the chance for more hopeful young women to join your bed?" She said, with a smile, loving the idea.

"This… I will accept only a certain number of additional concubines. As each one passed that number would be 10 not 1. Since the situation is different this time, I will offer taking concubines from all Forces, regardless of their standing in the power structure. However, that force must prove themselves worthy of such a good thing. Similarly to how I have set requirements on the partner's my children will have. I too shall adopt similar restrictions." Lei Jin replied. 

"And what about the children they might be able to have with you, Jin'er?" Azure Heart said, clearly desiring more grandbabies like always. 

"Any new concubine will be allowed to catch up with the number of children we have already had. Regardless of whenever that happens." Qing Ning answered, with a look on her face that said, not to press further. 

"Oh that's most excellent. I'm sure there are going to be more young women flocking to you. Perhaps there might even be enough for the women to make Lei Jin tired when coming out of a child rearing Seclusion. Oh, I'll leave now so you can begin your fun. As for the things outside Brother Liang Changming, Sister Han Qiu and I will take care of it." Azure Heart said, leaving the room then turned to shut the door and then paused. "Make sure to give me more beautiful grandbabies." She giggled and then closed the door.

"Mother-in-law Azure Heart is quite eccentric isn't she. So boldly asking us to carry children just like that. It's… refreshing. I'd love to have a child with the man I hold most dear." Ruo Xi said, as her eyes glowed with an expectant radiance. 

"Well, we need to wait until our next group of guests come. I'm sure they will be quite thrilled." Lei Jin said, sensing the movement of more people. 

The door burst open and it was Yang Kai and his wives. "Brother Lei Jin, I heard the news. And I can say that… I have no doubts. Nor do I think her mother would have any. So I have come to offer the blessing in her parents stead." He said, in an approving tone. 

"Then I will accept it graciously. I may not be able to provide the Zhang Family with a proper gift at the moment but allow me to offer the Yang Family it in their stead. For starters I will inform you that inside this barrier I made has a similar effect as the Aura I had over in Azure Void. So it will be significantly easier for Brother Yang to expand his family. And I also offer you these resources. When the war is over I will present the Zhang Family a formal gift and an apology gift for not doing so earlier." Lei Jin said, handing over a plethora of resources all at once, and smiling happily. "Also congratulations on breaking through to the 7th rank Brother Yang." He added. 

"Thank… Thank you. Brother Lei… you really are like an endless source of wealth. And even power. Before you broke through I could at least understand the limits of your strength. But now… I feel I can't even see through a small portion of it." Yang Kai said, with a mixed look on his face. 

"Brother Yang shouldn't worry about that. Everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses. As well as… responsibilities. Believe Brother Yang, you do not want to be sitting where I am. But if you need confirmation as to why, either break through to the 8th rank yourself or your 9 wives must also break through to the 7th rank. It's too much information otherwise." Lei Jin sighed.
