Time flies like flowing water, in the blink of an eye, the old year has passed.

Even in the Dongxuan Heaven, there is the concept of "year", and the New Year is full of festive atmosphere, much livelier than the Blue Star.

Even when pregnant, the women of the Chu family command the entire household with the assistance of maidservants to celebrate a joyful New Year, which shows the importance people attach to the holiday.

With colorful lanterns, the sound of firecrackers, and the aroma of the New Year's Eve dinner filling the air amidst the falling snow, the women's laughter and joy are bold, completely disregarding their usual reserve and decorum.

Chu Shen doesn't mind the women's exuberance, as long as they stay within the boundaries, it's not a bad thing to have some liveliness in the house.

Moreover, pregnant women always have some privileges. This is a way for them to use their bellies to control their husbands. After giving birth, they can teach them how to behave properly.

In such an environment, Shangguan Shurong's complexion seems to have brightened up a bit.

In the past few months, Yu Sidao hasn't replied to her letters. She has become Chu Shen's exclusive favorite, with their intimacy reaching 20%, and the problem of emotional detachment has been alleviated to some extent.

However, the fact that she still hasn't gotten pregnant has made the other women curious, and they secretly speculate whether this female cultivator has some hidden illness that prevents her from conceiving.

Regarding this, Chu Shen has also consulted several physicians among the practitioners through the Yangyuan Sect's connections, and finally learned the truth.

It turns out to be a problem with refining essence and transforming qi.

Cultivators practice to evolve their bodies, enhance their spirits, assimilate the laws of the world, and transform them into their own formidable power.

In this process, the integration of essence, qi, and spirit is crucial. Many cultivation methods fall into the categories of "refining essence and transforming qi, Qi Refining Soul Formation, Soul Refining and Void Refining Dao Integration".

Although refining essence and transforming qi is not about refining physical essence in the literal sense, but rather a mysterious life force, the result is similar to the idea of "I can use internal energy to force your XX out of your body," and even goes further, as if there is an invisible barrier that rejects the combination of essence and egg.

Why do many cultivators pursue a simple and frugal lifestyle and consider giving birth to be a difficult task?

Because these actions require the expenditure of their own essence, energy, and spirit. If one becomes obsessed, they may even have to sacrifice their essence. For cultivators, it is not worth the cost.

With so much essence, energy, and spirit, can't I refine it for my own cultivation? What's the point of using it to have children?

Under the state of emotional detachment, Shangguan Shurong seems to transform into a cultivation machine, only using the most rational thinking to judge certain behaviors. She probably considers pregnancy and childbirth as hindrances to cultivation, so she subconsciously rejects the idea of getting pregnant.

To solve this problem, it seems that the only hope lies in resolving her emotional detachment to some extent.

Regarding this, Chu Shen can only remain speechless.

But on second thought, it's probably for the best. If she were to become pregnant again, would he really become a monk and give up meat?

Thinking about these random thoughts, he poked Shangguan Shurong's expressionless face, which earned him a puzzled look from her, causing him to laugh.

At least her current situation is much better than when she first arrived, isn't it?

"Oh my, Chu Dalao, it seems like you really don't care about anything else and only focus on having a romantic relationship with Shangguan sister?" Chen Ying, with her sharp eyes, noticed Chu Shen's and Shangguan Shurong's subtle actions. She sat down with her big belly and looked at him with some resentment, expressing her grievances.

Although she entered the household earlier, the Chu family does not determine the ranking of women based solely on their entry time. They also consider their cultivation level and abilities, and in the future, they may even consider the progress of their children.

Chu Shen poured her a cup of warm water and said, "You've called me 'big master,' so why do you bother with these trivial matters? If the big master doesn't look like a big master, what's the difference between him and a servant?"

"Okay, so you mean to say that I'm now like a maid?" Chen Ying took a sip of water, feeling sweet inside but not letting it show on her face.

Chu Shen gently touched her belly and whispered in her ear, "Actually, it can be quite interesting for the big master and the maid to have an affair in the study or other places. After you give birth and recover, the big master will show you a good time."

Chen Ying's face suddenly turned red, and she slapped him, saying, "You're asking for it!"

But the force was so weak that it wouldn't even be enough to kill a mosquito.

Although it is possible for women to have intercourse during the middle stage of pregnancy, women cherish their children and are unwilling to take risks, especially after a long time.

Chen Ying was no exception. Being teased by Chu Shen, she couldn't bear it and gave him a disdainful look before running away.

Chu Shen laughed heartily, finding it amusing, when suddenly there was a cry from outside.

"Hurry, Lady Ning is about to give birth! Quickly find the midwife!"

He stood up abruptly and ran out anxiously, saying, "What's going on? Wasn't the due date after the Lunar New Year?"

Ning Xiangyue was one of the first women to follow him, and because she was in good condition, she became pregnant early and should be the first to give birth.

But there was a slight time difference, which was considered an accident. The Chu family didn't have time to continue celebrating the New Year, and everyone was in a frenzy.

Fortunately, with so many pregnant women, Chu Shen couldn't be careless. The Chu family was well-prepared with a complete plan, and the relevant personnel immediately started doing their assigned tasks according to the plan.

Although Ning Xiangyue's voice was hoarse and she couldn't speak, and the sound of the women in labor couldn't be heard in the delivery room, the steady midwives, maids, and female physicians coming in and out actually made the situation more tense, causing Chu Shen's heart to race.

"Master, rest assured, Madam Ning will be fine. Even the miraculous medicine An Gong Shun Chan Wan that you had Ning Jiejie take, she will definitely have a smooth delivery."

Tong Zhou and Tong Ye, being pregnant later than the others and having a background as dancers, had stronger bodies. While the other women sat or lay down, waiting for news, they were able to comfort Chu Shen by his side.

Speaking of the An Gong Shun Chan Wan they mentioned, it was an achievement reward from the system, with the effect of ensuring a smooth delivery and the safety of mother and child.

With the system guaranteeing it, he still had confidence.

But as a man waiting to become a father for the first time, he was subconsciously confused and anxious.

"Yes, everything will be fine, everything will be fine... I hope she's fine soon, I'm so worried!"

Chu Shen poured out his grievances to his sisters, completely unlike someone who had nothing to worry about, leaving his sisters feeling helpless.

Fortunately, the system guarantee was indeed reliable, and everything was fine. When news came from the delivery room that everything went smoothly and mother and daughter were safe, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly went to visit the mother and child.

Just as he was looking at his eldest daughter's little face, wondering why the newborn baby looked wrinkled like a little monkey, there was suddenly another cry from outside the room.

Oh no, another one who couldn't wait for the due date and was under stress.
