  My mother, my sister, and then the rest of my disciples were allowed to see my babies oer ahrough the day. I stayed by the side of Urbosa ae through it all. In fact, I was pletely glued here, and I really didn’t want to move anywhere else.

  Why?

  Well, they were simply too precious! They were the most beautiful, pristine, radiant, wonderful, valuable, heavenly, primordial, immemorial treasures of the entire universe, os, ay!

  Just giving them a look made my heart stop! It literally stops the moment I look at them! They’re s, my love for them is like a lethal poison that might eventually kill me!

  Because… because I just ’t imagine a world, a life, a future, without these babies now! It is as if I’ve gohrough an incredible awakening, a feeling of enlightehat ged my entire psyche.

  Everything I am now in the past became a “me” before my children were born, and now I’ve been pletely reborn; I live for them, and I must make a better world for these precious treasures to live happily forever.

  I didn’t even give birth to them, and I feel this way!

  My mother was right wheold me that someone ges the moment their children are born; it is as if a switch turns on, and everything you once were just bees the past.

  The new me is someohat must procure their survival no matter what… How ironic! I am so powerful, yet I simply ’t resist the intrinsistiny body and mind.

  And it makes me feel… so plete now.

  Have I ever smiled so much before? So genuinely?

  Never…

  I think I o calm down a bit though; I am getting too agitated!

  Which is weird because I am who I am—a Primordial Immemorial Venerable!

  My mind is always calm, a… I’m so agitated aed, I ’t stop thinking about them.

  And when I look at their cute faces sleeping, I just want to kiss their cute baby faces so much!

  Uwaah!

  By the Nine Heavens, someone help me.

  “They’re adorable,” said Yanisse, gng at the children in the room, staying in silence. “Oh my gosh… My heart ’t take this anymore.

  “Baby… Adorable little treasures! Must protect babies, so tribe tinues living!” said Fiery Hair. “Fiery Hair will have a baby too, soon! Big family soon! Big tribe! Prosperity.”

  “Ahh, they’re really adorable; I never imagihe fluffy ess of Urbosa ae could merge so well with Bing Xue’s grad charm,” said Mursha. “Their hair and eyes are the same color as her too! But they also have many of the traits from their wolf tribe family…”

  “Uwaah…” Peperina muttered. “I-I’m afraid of even toug them… They look so delicate and cute… Look at their ears, though! They’re so fluffy…”

  The two babies were still drinking milk while being in a state of sleepiness, with slight awareness of their surroundings. Merkite and Urbosa were thankfully very strong and had eaten a lot befiving birth, so they weren’t exhausted from having to produuch milk.

  heless, I brought them dinner and also gave them special Energizing Potions and Pills, which gave them lots of calories and nutrients to keep them healthy, so they also give our kids the best milk.

  … Maybe that sounded weird; I just want them to not be tired.

  “They’re cute, aren’t they? And so very strong! Their Auras exude so much power, I’m amazed.” I nodded.

  “I feel so sleepy though; I think I’ll sleep,” yawned Urbosa.

  “Me too,” agreed her sister.

  “Oh! Alright then, everyone, let’s go outside. Let’s leave them in their room for now; we ’t let the mothers be exhausted, alright?”

  “Ah, yeah, sure…” Yanisse nodded. “Sleep well, girls.”

  And like that, the seventh day inside of my Inner Realm passed. It felt as long as a whole month because of everything that happened.

  I fihe day by having some tea with my family, and I invited Yanisse and Peperina, because they were pretty much my girlfriends right now after everything.

  “I am really happy for everything, Katherine, and don’t get me wrong, I will try my best to be a good grandmother,” said my mom. “But I have to ask you something: how are you pnning for the kids to grow and develop? Are you going to let them go to kindergarten? And a school? Or you’re pnning to homeschool them?”

  “I nning the tter; I mean, I would do it the same way I’ve raised many children in Murim! A sect is both a family and also something simir to a dojo and an academy; the childreaught how to read, mathematiguage, alchemy, and so on as they grow up,” I expined. “So it’s teically not homeschooled if I own an actual schoht?”

  “Uh, I guess you’re n; maybe we could do that for their first years,” nodded my mother. “But ohey grow up, Katherine, you o take into sideration their social development. Growing up sheltered in this pagoda, where they have everything and never have flig opinions with other people, making friends and rivalries, is not good either… I think you should definitely let them go to some school at least.”

  “I agree! You ’t let the kids be homeschooled, sis; they gotta go to a good school; we send them to one where only rich kids go, so they’re treated well and don’t gh any bullying if you’re worried about that,” said Ruby with a smile.

  “I had… not sidered that at all,” I said. “Holy, I don’t know what I would even do to anybody that were to make my children upset or even cry… I would go on a murderous rampage, most likely. So by keeping them here, I would be sparing the unlucky fools that would dare do such a thing to begin with…”

  “K-Katherine, you ’t think like that though!” said my mother. “I know yoing to be an overprotective mother; I tell! But your kids will still o be socially capable. Isotion is not good when growing up. Why do you think you and your sister came out as such good girls? You were able to socialize in school and had childhoods iing with people and had friends and everything, no?”

  “Eh, yeah, I guess?” Ruby nodded.

  “Hm,” I mumbled. “Fine, I’ll think about it. But if it ever happens, it won’t be in some backwater school, but the best avaible, not in the try but in the world. I’ll also o che everything myself. Who mahe schools, their hygiene, what they offer for food, the students that assist, every single one of them, then also every single professor, and…”

  I tinued addressing all the things I would check wheime came, making my mrow more frustrated as she looked at me with disbelief.

  “e on now, isn’t this too much already?” she sighed. “Okay, I get that you’re worried and everything, but this is something your kids will have to front one day. Look, I know there’ll be years until all of that happens, but I just wao tell yht now, so you have plenty of time to sider things and think through them.”

  “I know…” I nodded. “I’ll think things through and see what I do. I’ll also begin some iigations around the globe. Is there no academy or school for children with supernatural abilities yet? For awakened young’uns?”

  “There are a few,” said my sister. “But the world… well, it has gohrough a lot of stuff; most of the society’s energy has bee rebuilding what was destroyed and trying to reinforce the defenses of the cities across the world. Hmm… but yeah, there should be a few; I sometimes remember seeing ads about that.”

  “Okay, I’ll iigate them one by ohen,” I nodded.

  And if I ’t find a perfect school, then I’ll make it, or make someone else make it; I’ll find it, supervise it, and everything.

  Well, wouldn’t it be easier to just purchase the best one I find and improve it until it bees the perfeviro for my babies?

  Yes, that’s a good idea!

  “The kids may not stay as babies for too long; due to the factors of their own cultivation levels, their energies, and having their mother’s bloodlihey’ll grow very quickly,” I expined. "Holy, if it were up to me, I would love to have them as babies for a thousand years, but it's for the best of their own safety if they grow quickly as well.”

  “G-Grow quickly? How fast?” My mother asked.

  “I’ll boost their growth aal development in the ining five months using my teiques,” I said. “I’ve already discussed this with Urbosa ae, and they agreed quite quickly, saying that if they could move on their own and also defend, it would be much better than having them as helpless babies. And well… usually it takes humans six years to reach the stage they’ll be once we e out of my Inner Realm, but for their tribe, it’s usually one and a half years, or two.”

  “E-Eh?!” gasped my mother. “Isn’t that an incredibly fast growth?”

  “Yeah…” Ruby gasped. “Woah, okay… I mean, if the girls are fih that, I ’t say anything.”

  "Holy, even after that, they’ll still be adorable, always, forever. Evehey grow up into adults or evehey bee old, my babies will always be my babies,” I nodded, smiling. “Ah, but well, I doubt they’ll ever bee old. I mean, they were already born as Immortals! Or well, more like… Well, as they grow up, they’ll unseal all the power I sealed, so they should end at the beginning ranks of Primordials.”

  “W-Without training?!” My sister asked.

  “Wooow! My siblings are going to be super-duper strong! ’t wait! So exg!” Hekita, who had beeing her dinner with us, was only listening in sile burst into joy after hearing that. “Does that mean I’ll get to py with them too, mama?”

  “Yes, of course! Though I’ll have to give them a bit of training first,” I said. “As I’ll have to teach them how to properly trol their strength… Seeing how they’ve ied my powers and cultivation and are most likely imprinted with my own cultivation teiques and martial arts into their physiques and souls, they will be lethally strong! A little mistake and they might end up destroying a whole city, hahaha!”

  I took it very carefreely despite the dangers, because imagining those two cuties doing such a ridiculous thing was a bit funny in my head.

  However, my mother and my sister, and everyone else there except Hekita, didn’t take it as a joke.

  “Y-You have to train them well, okay?!” My mom asked. “Promise me!”

  “That’s scary af…” said Ruby. “Sis, please don’t let them do that!”

  “They’re cute but tain so much power…” said Mursha. “W-Wait, are our kids also going to be this strong? Hmm…”

  “Fiery Hair is shocked… Must raise kids well with Bing Bing… Maybe more than one would be too much for Fiery Hair, unexperienced ihings…” even Fiery Hair was shocked.

  “Well, seeing how your son from the future was strohan you, acc to what you said… I believe that,” said Yanisse.

  “What’s up with all of that future son thing though?” Peperina wondered.

  “Ah well, that’s…”

  “We are back! What did we miss?”

  Suddenly, as I was about to expin more, Merh appeared, walking ihe pace apanied by Heba and Sara, two of the hunters from Egypt that I had recruited as disciples too.

  Heba was the “Queen of the Dunes," and Sara was “The Sacred Child." The first owerful Sand Magi, capable of trolling the dunes bae, while Sara is a strong “Saint” archetype, a powerful healer, guardian, and enhancer.

  They also jure holy elements aerminate evil beings, like demons, ghosts, and other creatures… I’ve seen that Belze is not quite fond of Sara because of that too, haha.

  “Well, a lot happened!” I said. “Well, e in a with us; I suppose a lot happened.”

  At the end, I ended up going to sleep quite te as I talked a lot with all these wonderful people I’ve made my family too.

  Sleeping iween Urbosa ae and my two babies was heavenly though!
