"Daddy, what fun things were you talking about just now?"
Xiao Ling and Xiao Meng flapped their small Dou Qi wings and fluttered over to Xiao Jietian, hovering in front of him with wide, curious eyes.
"Nothing important."
Hearing this, the two little ones didn't press further. Instead, they threw themselves into his arms, pressing their soft cheeks against his chest. Both wore hesitant expressions, clearly wanting to say something but holding back.
"Daddy… can you build us a Sky City?" Xiao Meng blinked her big, watery eyes, looking up at him with pure, pleading innocence.
Xiao Ling beside her mirrored the exact same expression.
The other women watched from the side, lips curving in amusement, clearly enjoying the show.
"No problem. Daddy will make one for you," Xiao Jietian answered without hesitation.
How could any father bear to refuse such adorable pleading from his daughters?
"Sure enough, a complete daughter-slave," Han Yue and the others thought in unison, not surprised in the slightest.
…
Over the next two days, Xiao Jietian personally crafted a small floating Sky City for his daughters to play in.
Strangely, during this time, Zi Yan—who usually would have been the first to join in the fun—did not appear at all.
For two full days, the normally energetic and mischievous Zi Yan had become listless and lethargic, her usual vitality nowhere to be seen.
Finally, looking so drowsy she could barely keep her eyes open, Zi Yan shuffled over to Xiao Jietian.
"Big bad guy… I think… I'm about to advance…"
Her voice was weak, words coming out slow and broken.
Her cheeks were unusually flushed, as though she were burning with fever.
Xiao Jietian immediately scooped her up in a princess carry. The moment he touched her, he felt her small body radiating intense heat—like a living furnace.
After sensing her condition more carefully, he quickly understood what was happening.
Without another word, he carried Zi Yan and instantly teleported into the depths of Heavenly Beast Mountain—the region with the densest and purest heaven-and-earth energy in the entire Eternal Heaven World.
This area had long been divided into multiple exclusive cultivation chambers. All the women normally cultivated here.
After combining the natural energy density with the effects of the Boundless Heaven Tower, cultivating in the best chamber here was equivalent to—or even slightly better than—training inside the number-one room of the Heavenly Flame Training Pagoda as a Dou Ling.
"You can advance here. The energy density will speed up the process and keep you completely safe."
Xiao Jietian carried her straight into her personal cultivation chamber.
The moment he set her down, Zi Yan's eyelids fluttered once—then she fell into a deep, immediate slumber.
Almost instantly, a rich, vibrant purple light erupted from within her body.
The light rapidly expanded, condensing into a translucent purple cocoon roughly a zhang (about three meters) wide, completely enveloping her small figure.
The others soon sensed the unusual fluctuation coming from Xiao Jietian's palace and hurried over.
"Junior Brother Xiao Tian, what's happening?" Han Yue asked curiously, studying the glowing purple cocoon beside him. "Why do I sense Senior Sister Zi Yan's aura coming from inside?"
"This is Zi Yan's unique protective method during advancement," Xiao Jietian explained with a light chuckle.
He had already scanned the cocoon with his soul power—the aura inside was stable, with no signs of danger.
"Ohhh, so that's why she hasn't been playing with Ling Ling and Meng Meng these past few days, and why she's been taking pills nonstop. I thought she was just in a bad mood."
Ya Fei smiled, gazing at the shimmering purple cocoon.
"Ordinary magical beasts fall into deep slumber when advancing, but Zi Yan actually forms a protective cocoon. Her bloodline truly is extraordinary."
Qing Lin tilted her head and glanced at Medusa. "Then why didn't Sister Medusa form a giant cocoon when she advanced? Her Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python bloodline is one of the strongest on the entire continent."
Thump!
A fist with red-lacquered nails lightly knocked Qing Lin on the head.
It was Medusa who struck. She then casually pinched Qing Lin's soft cheek.
"Your Sister Medusa is not a pure magical beast anymore, so naturally I won't form one. Do you really want to see me wrapped up in a giant cocoon?"
"A little… ah—no, I don't!" Qing Lin blurted out honestly, then hurriedly corrected herself. "I was just wondering if Sister Medusa's cocoon would be colorful… like a beautiful rainbow."
"Qing'er, you've been completely corrupted by Xiao Jietian. Your tongue has become far too glib," Yun Yun teased from the side with a gentle smile.
The Little Fairy Doctor was not present—she was currently cultivating inside the Poisonous Miasma Forest.
"So… we just leave her here?" Xiao Huiying asked, crouching beside the cocoon and studying it closely.
"Yes. The energy density here will accelerate her evolution, and this is the safest place possible."
As he spoke, Xiao Jietian simultaneously extended his soul power to watch his two daughters playing happily inside their new Sky City.
It had already become their personal playground—they had moved all their favorite toys inside and sometimes even napped there.
"Indeed. Since we all cultivate here regularly, we'll notice immediately if anything goes wrong."
Yun Yun nodded in agreement. This truly was the most suitable location.
"Alright, let's leave for now. Her evolution will take quite some time."
The women nodded and slowly filed out of the chamber, returning to their respective duties.
Boundless Heaven Hall's power was expanding rapidly. Everyone had become extremely busy—even Han Yue had begun taking on administrative responsibilities.
In the entire organization, Xiao Jietian was now the only one truly idle.
After leaving Zi Yan's advancement chamber, he walked deeper into Heavenly Beast Mountain until he arrived before a certain Monster Egg glowing with faint seven-colored light.
At this moment, the life aura within the egg was growing stronger day by day—but it still would not hatch anytime soon.
Because it had been completely condensed from soul force, it needed to first replenish a complete soul, then condense a physical body, and finally absorb sufficient energy to fully form and grow.
This was completely different from Xiao Huiying's case. When the system had "stolen" her, she had already been born for quite some time and only needed enough energy to hatch.
Xiao Jietian gazed at the egg, suddenly recalling Medusa's pregnancy. A strange premonition rose in his heart:
Perhaps… they will be born around the same time.
…
Time passed quickly. A month flew by in the blink of an eye.
In the front hall of the Eternal Heaven Palace, a figure in a striking red dress strode in with confident, swaying steps.
Her figure was incomparably alluring—long legs, perfect curves, exuding a mature and captivating charm.
Hu Jia looked around curiously as she walked deeper into the main hall of Boundless Heaven Hall.
Xiao Jietian was not present.
She casually found a seat and sat down, crossing her long legs.
"This is the place where that hateful Xiao Jietian keeps all his women?" she muttered to herself. "Even the guards are all female—and every single one is stunning. Simply outrageous."
"And how could Xun'er possibly stay with such a philanderer? If I could beat him, I'd definitely fight him right now."
About half a minute after she sat down, a maid approached and respectfully placed a cup of fragrant tea before her.
Hu Jia took a small sip.
Instantly, the fatigue from her long journey melted away. Her entire body felt refreshed and invigorated.
She murmured softly in surprise:
"This tea… is incredibly effective. Just one sip and I already feel so much better."
"Of course," the maid replied with a gentle smile. "These are specially prepared for honored guests. This is the latest batch cultivated and processed by our Medicine Hall."
