SSS rank Mother-In-Law to an Invincible Family

Chapter 271: Why Are We Not Pregnant Yet?



In the dining room, the table was filled with plates of spiritual delicacies—spiritual fruits brimming with energy and tender cuts of spiritual beast meat, each dish prepared with care.

These were the best foods for a cultivator, but this was just another meal for the ladies.

But despite their cultivation realms, they enjoyed these high-quality dishes daily.

Once everyone settled into their seats, Xu Qianghua glanced around and said, "Now, let's eat. We'll talk more about the details afterward."

The ladies nodded, each taking her designated seat. Bai Lingyun and Liu Meiying sat beside him, with the other ladies around the table, each in her familiar spot.

As they began eating, light chatter filled the room, creating a comfortable atmosphere. Their conversation didn't immediately return to the Zerg.

Instead, they casually discussed how things were going within the forces they managed, exchanging updates about resources, training, and organization.

Meanwhile, An Zhihao and Lin Yue found themselves in the center of a discussion where they compared what they did with Xu Qianghua in the dual cultivation room without missing a beat.

The laughter and side conversations added warmth to the gathering, but despite the lightheartedness, everyone stayed aware of the larger topic they were about to discuss.

Once everyone had finished eating, Xu Qianghua set his utensils down and waited a moment for the room to settle.

Then, in a calm tone, he began, "Now that we're done with our meal, let's talk about the Zerg.

While I don't know the exact situation for this timeline, I can confidently say that there shouldn't be major changes compared to my previous experiences."

The ladies listened intently, though a few wore skeptical expressions. They also knew about this, but they knew that there should be stronger Zerg behind this small group.

Xu Qianghua noticed this and continued, "To be straightforward, as things stand, we don't have the power to face the entire Zerg colony at full strength."

This statement surprised the ladies. They had expected him to say something about fighting with confidence, but instead, he admitted they weren't prepared for a direct confrontation with the entire Zerg colony.

This is something they had not expected, as from the confidence he showed, it looked like he was able to face the whole colony.

Noticing their reactions, he clarified, "As you know, this is just a small advance force we'll be dealing with.

The real colony, however, is a different story as they have powerful zerg, which we cannot face right now."

Huang Xinyi then spoke up, her expression thoughtful. "So do we or do we not worry about the main force behind this advance force?"

Xu Qianghua gave her a reassuring smile and shook his head. " We do not need to worry about this as the Zerg's main focus isn't on us; they're occupied elsewhere.

Right now, they're engaged in a large-scale conflict with another powerful race in this sector of the void.

This other race is strong enough to destroy the Zerg if they take this seriously, which is enough for us as we will get enough time to grow."

The ladies relaxed as they digested his words, understanding that this wasn't the full-scale invasion they'd feared. Liu Anwei voiced the collective relief, saying,

"That makes sense. We've been preparing for any scenario, but it's good to know we're not expected to confront the entire colony."

With that cleared up, the conversation moved towards the notice given to them as each lady gave updates on how her forces were handling the Level 3 notice.

Yan Yuehua explained how the shadow members monitored potential leaks or unusual movements as she knows that there is never an air tight seal.

And the information about them moving will come to light sooner or later.

"We're keeping an eye on everything," she added. "It's a low profile, as instructed, but we're ready if anything needs addressing."

Liu Meiying reported on the Empyrean Trade Consortium, explaining that stockpiles had been discreetly moved to secure locations across the continents in multiple secret storage bunkers that anyone with the right family sign token could access.

"This way, we're prepared for long-term action, and no one will notice the extra resources we've gathered," she said confidently.

Bai Xueyan and Liu Anwei then updated on the Empyrean Harmony Sect, mentioning that the disciples were strengthening formations and training without raising suspicion.

"The sect's defenses are layered and ready to respond if needed," Bai Xueyan assured him, to which he nodded in approval.

Xu Qianghua acknowledged each report with a nod, happy to see that all the training they had before was put to good use.

"Good. You've all done an exceptional job. With this, we do not need to worry about not being prepared, as the Zerg can use wormholes to shorten the distance."

Wormholes are something that is used by everyone who has stepped into the void as the void is an endless dead space.

So a powerful cultivator, along with the help of the Supreme Will, created these wormholes that can shorten the distance.

But the only bad thing about this is that you can only find these wormholes when you are close to them.

This is why Lin Yue said that they might arrive at any time this year or the beginning of next year.

Soon after wrapping up the military updates, the conversation turned to a more personal topic that had been on the ladies' minds for some time.

Liu Meiying, who had been listening quietly, slowly spoke up, making the whole room pay attention to her. "Qiangqiang… we've been curious about something for a while."

The others exchanged glances, and Xu Qianghua looked at her, intrigued. "What's on your mind, sister Meiying?"

She hesitated briefly before continuing. "Well, it's been many years now, and despite… all the time we've spent together… none of us have become pregnant. Is there a reason for that?"

The other ladies, clearly interested, leaned in, nodding in agreement. Xu Qianghua chuckled softly, understanding their concern.

"I expected this question sooner or later. The main reason you haven't conceived is directly tied to your cultivation levels and physiques."

He explained further, "The stronger your cultivation and the rarer your physique, the less likely it is to conceive without focused intent.

Your physique is naturally resilient, designed to protect you against external forces—including pregnancy, which is quite taxing on the body.

Essentially, it takes more than normal circumstances to bring forth a child with your cultivation level."

The ladies nodded thoughtfully, taking in his explanation. Feng Xue asked, "So if we ever do have children, they'll be… unique, right?"

Xu Qianghua smiled, nodding. "Exactly. If you were to conceive, the child would inherit part of our essence to generate a powerful physique and talent.

Their potential would be exceptional, giving them a head start in talent and resilience. But it's also why conception is more challenging."

Su Meilan looked at him curiously. "Is there a way to… make sure that we get pregnant?"

He nodded. "Yes, there are certain cultivation techniques and specific times that would give it a higher possibility.

If it's something any of you wish to pursue, we can certainly make arrangements when the time comes.

But until then, your bodies naturally prevent it from protecting your cultivation foundation."

The room was quiet as the ladies considered his words. They seemed both relieved and intrigued, understanding now that the difficulty wasn't a matter of lack or inability but rather the nature of their own strengths and physiques.

The atmosphere slowly quietened down, with each lady quietly considering her path and whether or not having a child would be part of it someday.

Eventually, Xu Qianghua leaned back, glancing at them with a relaxed smile. "We have a lot ahead of us, so for now, let's focus on what we can control.

The Zerg are approaching, and our preparation is key. When the time comes, we'll be ready."

The ladies nodded, their expressions showing that they were confident about this battle. But they all had an expectant look as they thought about the future children they might have in the future.

But for now, they would continue to support Xu Qianghua and the Xu family, as they are not in a stable situation where they can worry about conceiving a child.

So they will just wait until the time is right, but now their focus is on finding a supporting manual or items.

They are aware that they have a special physique, and the same goes for the other ladies, but they need a perfect manual and items to bring out their full power.

But it is not like they can find it anywhere; they need to rely on luck or find it in the sutra pavilion.

So the ladies decided not to think about it and focused on the upcoming battle and their respective legions, knowing that Xu Qianghua already had the plans ready.

So, with a relaxed expression, they waited for the time to come and start the war, which is the first-ever war for all of them.
