Chapter 5: 7 Year Old

Yuxin spoke up with a slight giggle after seeing his reaction, "Yuan'er you need to have thicker skin if you want to get good wives."

Yuan raised his head as he asked, "Wives? Can't I have a single lover mom?"

Yuxin looked surprised for a bit as she spoke, "Powerful men attract a lot of female cultivators, so if you want to only have a single woman then it will be tough, and I want the best for you, I want all the heavenly daughters of this world to be my Daughter In-Laws."

Yuan nearly stumbled when he heard that as he looked at his mother looking at him with amusement as he spoke, "Mom are you trying to kill me? How will I manage such a big harem?"

Yuxin smiled slightly as she spoke, "You don't have to worry about that, Mommy will help you in managing your harem."

Yuan looked confused as he asked, "Eh? But how?"

Yuxin gave him a mysterious smile and said to him, "You will find it out in the future, for now, let's go and nourish your body."

Just as she was about to open the door Yuan asked another question, "When will you teach me about cultivation Mom? I'm dying to learn more about it ever since I got to know about it."

Yuxin smiled gently toward him as she spoke, "Some things are not meant to be shared with those who have not undergone their awakening, when you finish your awakening I will tell you all you want to know about this world."

Yuan sulkily turned his head away as he murmured, "This is the same excuse you always give me whenever I ask about cultivation-related stuff to you."

"But breaking space inside a Mystique Realm is a lot harder since this is on a very high level of dimensionality compared to Desolate Place, so it is a lot harder to break space inside here even for the high level of cultivators who are already ahead in dimensionality compared to mortals at your level."

She sat down on the grass, "And that's the reason you are so tired, since you haven't started cultivation yet, you should not even be able to step foot in this place, but I'm using my powers to coat your body with a thin layer of protection since this place is one of the best to awaken yourself, you see those rivers?

Those are Rivers of Pure Qi, and the quantity is enough for half of the cultivators in the Eastern Desolate region to cultivate for the rest of their lives. Since this is one of the highest ranked Mystique Realm in Desolate Continent."

Yuan was first amazed and then confused as he asked, "But how do you possess this level of treasure Mother?"

Yuxin smiled mysteriously and said in a teasing voice, "You haven't awakened yet so I can't tell you."

A vein popped up on Yuan's head as he listened to the same excuse for the millionth time, "Hmph! Keep your secrets, I don't wanna know them anyways."

Huo Rong and Bing Rong both giggled as they looked at their Madam's antics.

Yuxin stopped smiling as she stood up and said, "Alright enough messing around, now it is about time to start your awakening ritual, go and sit beside the river and try to gather qi as I thought you. Try to get the qi inside your body, after nourishing your body with my essence for years it is now nearly perfect for cultivation."

Yuan's ears got red as he heard his aunts Huo Rong and Bing Rong giggling after hearing what his mother said. Yuxin looked at them and they stopped laughing and stood respectfully to oversee their young master.

Yuan took a deep breath to calm himself down as he began his awakening ritual.
