Time flew by quickly.
The day finally arrived for Ah Yin to give birth, and the entire Dragon God Temple was bustling with activity.
To welcome the new life, experienced women like Ning Rongrong, Bibi Dong, and Tang Yuehua were in the delivery room, offering encouragement to Ah Yin.
Su Bai could only wait anxiously outside the delivery room.
After what felt like an eternity, the sound of a baby's cry emerged from the room.
Su Bai looked at the delivery room with joy.
Ning Rongrong emerged, cradling the newborn in her arms, her face glowing with delight. "It's a girl, and both mother and daughter are safe."
Su Bai laughed heartily. "That's great!"
At that moment, the system's voice rang in Su Bai's mind.
[Ding! The system confirms the birth of an offspring. Congratulations, host, you have received a reward of fifty thousand years of cultivation!]
Although this reward was insignificant to Su Bai now, it was better than nothing.
His main concern was for his daughter and Ah Yin.
Su Bai approached to take a look.
"Ha ha, she's still all wrinkled, so ugly," Su Bai chuckled.
Having seen newborns before, he knew that regardless of how handsome or beautiful they might become, they were always wrinkled at birth.
"Hmph, Su Bai brother, it's rude to call a beautiful girl ugly," Ning Rongrong teased with a smirk.
Su Bai laughed and entered the delivery room.
Tang Yuehua was still by Ah Yin's side.
Seeing Su Bai come in, she quietly led the midwife out, leaving the moment to Su Bai and Ah Yin.
"Su Bai brother…" Ah Yin said weakly.
Su Bai quickly sat down where Tang Yuehua had been, holding Ah Yin's hands.
"I'm here."
Ah Yin looked at Su Bai, her eyes filled with love.
"Rest well today, you've worked hard," Su Bai said with a smile. "Don't worry about the child. I'll find the best people to take care of her."
"Okay," Ah Yin nodded obediently.
Su Bai gently stroked Ah Yin's head.
"Su Bai brother, give the baby a name," Ah Yin said, looking into Su Bai's eyes.
Su Bai had already thought about this. "Su Ruier."
"Ruier, it sounds nice," Ah Yin nodded.
"Glad you like it," Su Bai smiled.
He then prepared to leave the room.
"Su Bai brother…" Ah Yin suddenly held Su Bai's hand.
"Can you stay with me tonight…?" Ah Yin's face turned red.
Su Bai smiled affectionately and brushed a strand of hair from Ah Yin's forehead, giving her a gentle kiss.
"You need to rest for a month. Otherwise, it will have serious consequences for your health," Su Bai promised Ah Yin. "After your confinement, I'll be with you."
"Ah…" Ah Yin looked a bit disappointed.
"Be good," Su Bai said, pinching Ah Yin's cheek.
"Alright…" Ah Yin reluctantly agreed.
Su Bai then left the room.
The month passed quickly.
Su Ruier visibly transformed from her wrinkled state into a beautiful baby.
During this time, under Su Bai's care, Ah Yin recovered well.
Her complexion and face had improved significantly.
"Su Bai brother, I've finished my confinement," Ah Yin whispered in Su Bai's ear.
Seeing Ah Yin, who had become more voluptuous during her confinement, Su Bai felt a spark of desire.
Somehow, Ah Yin had gained weight in all the right places, without any extra fat where it shouldn't be.
It felt like she had grown plumper, yet her figure was even more breathtaking.
"Alright, bathe and wait for me tonight," Su Bai said, lifting Ah Yin's chin.
"Flirting while discussing serious matters?" Tang Yuehua covered her mouth, giggling.
"Heh, you're all my wives. If you like, we can discuss things while we do other things," Su Bai said to Tang Yuehua.
"Indulging in pleasure during the day, that's terrible," Zhu Zhuyun said, pouting.
"Haha," Su Bai said, looking at everyone's chests, "Ah Yin still has the largest."
"That's just from nursing," Bibi Dong said with a smile. "Wait until that's over, then compare."
"Heh, I'll definitely compare when I have the chance," Su Bai said.
"Weren't we supposed to talk business? How did it turn into this…" Ning Rongrong said, exasperated, as she entered with Xiao Wu.
"If Su Bai brother wants, he can come to my room tonight," said Liu Erlong, who had completely taken control of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
Su Bai had specifically called her over this time.
"Alright, let's get to business," Su Bai said, straightening up and becoming serious.
"Now that the entire Star Dou Forest is under our control, with all its soul beasts submitting to us," Su Bai said to the women in front of him, "it's time to consider our next steps."
Bibi Dong nodded in agreement. "In recent times, the other two forces have been expanding their influence, making the trend of a tripartite balance more apparent."
"Smaller forces have no place to survive now," Ning Rongrong sighed. "They have to choose to depend on one of our three factions."
"But there are still some powerful clans that are resisting," Liu Erlong said. "Once all forces belong to one of the three, the battle for world domination will begin."
Su Bai nodded in agreement. "Indeed, and our faction hasn't expanded in a while."
"That's because the Star Dou Forest is too vast. It took a year just to subdue it," Tang Yuehua said.
"Fortunately, it's mostly done now," Bibi Dong said. "We can consider extending our reach."
"Soul beasts…" Su Bai pondered.
"The Star Luo Empire is currently fighting with the Spirit Hall over soul master clans. Should we get involved?" Ning Rongrong said seriously, her hands still on Xiao Wu.
Xiao Wu, uninterested in these topics, played around, affecting the meeting's atmosphere.
"Soul master clans aren't urgent," Su Bai said. "Many powerful clans are still observing."
"Then what do we do?" Liu Erlong asked. "Expand to the sea?"
Given Su Bai was undergoing the Sea God's trials, extending influence to the islands was a viable option.
"No, since the Star Dou Forest's soul beasts have submitted, why not bring other soul beasts under our control?" Su Bai said.
Bibi Dong immediately understood. "You mean…"
"The Sunset Forest," Su Bai nodded. "Our Dragon God Empire has its advantages. If we unite all soul beasts, imagine the power we'll wield."
"Yes, the Sunset Forest is a blind spot for the other two factions!" Liu Erlong's eyes lit up.
