A Forward Request

"Son-in-law doesn't need to worry about any imperfections. Just making it like this is already more than we could have asked for. You should be prepared from here on. The number of young ladies among the various Ancient Divine Spirit Clans will definitely try to get close to you." Qing Luan said with a light giggle at the end. 

"Yes, but they won't be the only ones trying to curry favor. You'll have mothers and fathers making attempts as well. After all, it's been proven that our daughters had given birth to true Phoenixes just after marrying you. So even if it breaks the Clans rules on the surface, it won't really break any bloodlines as a result of such a union." Yue Zhuo said, wiping the tears of happiness away from her eyes. She had been moved to incredible lengths after seeing that tree. 

"Sisters, don't forget that there are still other unmarried women among the clans. Even they might dare to come forward. After all, Jin'er is the one who gave them this new home. They might think of giving him a special welcoming gift." Hong Hu said highlighting the final group of individuals that will be after Lei Jin's approval. 

"Jin'er you hear all of that? You must be careful not to be too deceived by these other women. Otherwise, you'll have to marry so many Divine Spirits." Yuan Chu said with a worried face. 

"Please, there is no need for you to worry so much about this Lei Jin. I am indeed able to discern those who shall be accepted into my family and who shall not be. Contrary to how it may seem as of now given how many women I have in my family and have held in a lovers embrace. I have never accepted a single woman that would have created an unsavory situation within my family. Provided the woman is able to meet the requirements, I will not refuse their acceptance. That decision will then be left up to my 10 wives to decide if they should be accepted." Lei Jin said, hoping that would be enough to get them to calm down from their overbearing emotions. "Also my concubines are not mistreated in any way. The children I have with them are just as valid and accepted as any born of my official wives." He further explained, to calm any potential conflict with his mother-in-laws.

"Don't worry, we knew about your Jade Garden's situation before we offered our precious girls. So there is no need to defend yourself on this matter. Rather I'd like to ask you to do something soon. It is a bit presumptuous even for me to ask, but will you hear me out?" Yue Zhuo said, asking with a slightly difficult look taking over her face. 

Lei Jin noticed that it wasn't just Yue Zhuo who had this similar difficult look on her face. "Go ahead and ask what it is. If it is something I can do I will do. If it is not something I can do, I will treat it as if you asked me nothing, holding nothing against you." Lei Jin sighed, having a feeling as to what it might be. 

"Well, we were wondering if you and Ruo Xi could try for an additional child, perhaps 2 more." Yue Zhuo asked. 

"Ever since we've been playing with the others we have noticed that there is something missing. And several Spirits are being left behind. Specifically Gold and Water for those of the clans who cultivate this as the primary source." Hong Hu added, explaining their situation. 

"So we thought that the next two children, Ruo Xi bares will be able to complete the cycle. But in the end it is up to your family to decide this matter." Qing Luan said, her small piece. 

The three of them had said it like this in such a good way that it was clear they had practiced it before. To Lei Jin, this showed that they cared about this matter more than the fair treatment of their very own daughters. Because to Lei Jin, he always wanted to treat his wives with fairness and equality. They were all his women and should be treated as such. So he really didn't have a choice but to say no. However, he had already got a response from everyone of his wives and concubines. 

"It seems like you've been preparing for this day for a while now. And you have gone about it in the right way. To the point I can no longer reject the idea. However, you'll have to forgive me. I can not start that right now. I have promised all the cultivators in the Army to speak on the Dao for several days. Once I have finished that I'll begin retreat with my family and see what I can do." Lei Jin said, with a tone of confidence. 

"Such things are understandable. We are just thankful you accepted our forward request." Yue Zhuo smiled. 

"It's not too difficult of a thing to manage. Just need to manage the situation properly. I pride myself on treating my family with the proper love and care so I will not do something like this unless they agree. And they already yelled at me for creating 10 siblings for the two Xiao sisters. I don't like it when my wives are angry with me. It's not a good feeling." Lei Jin said, scratching the back of his head with a nervous laugh. 

"Well the army has gathered here now and seems quite eager to hear your words of advice and encouragement. So my sisters and I will take our leave here to explore the tree you made." Yue Zhuo said, and then transformed to fly off. The other three followed suit thereafter. 

Lei Jin turned to the Army filled with almost only 7th and 8th ranks. The number of mid rank open heavens seemed to increase again. "For those of you who are new, you should mind a good master to help you. And they will give you some of their spare resources if you need them. Understood?" He said. 

"Disciple understands!" The mid ranks all said in unison. 

"Good! Then I shall start my advice now, be sure to listen well. The Dao…" Lei Jin said, going into an explanation of the Dao.
