Chapter 1310: Short Moment of Relax

Not long after ordering the message to be spread, Aldrian, who no longer needed to refrain from creating his domain, returned to the First Heaven with the twins. He created a new domain, and moments later, he appeared in the garden of his palace.

As for the twins, they appeared at the Guardian Palace, informing the others that the time to act had almost arrived.

Aldrian walked toward the palace. His expression had already changed into a smile. After more than a month and a half of not returning with his real body, he had finally come back. He wanted to see his family, especially his wives.

His parents would sometimes use one of the time acceleration rooms to cultivate. His wives also spent most of their time inside them, but recently, his wives had been spending their time outside more frequently.

With the difference in the flow of time, their pregnancies had already reached more than five years. For Baek Jimin and Angelica, her pregnancy had already lasted much longer than that of most human cultivators at their cultivation level.

As for Sylphia, she would need a much longer pregnancy because she was an elf, but according to the latest examination by the imperial physician, she had already passed more than half of her pregnancy period.

Based on the current estimation, Baek Jimin would be the first to give birth, Angelica would follow after her, while Sylphia would be the last.

Aldrian already sensed his wives enjoying the inner garden located within the main palace grounds. They were accompanied by his little siblings, while several maids stood nearby, attentively watching over them.

His parents, meanwhile, were currently away from the palace, visiting the Orian Continent to fulfill an invitation from Queen Revania.

The queen had invited his parents to attend a festival in her empire, and they gladly accepted the invitation as they also wanted to spend some time visiting a new place.

Aldrian let them be, as that was what his parents wanted. His only concern was the fact that Queen Revania seemed to have become much closer to them.

Knowing how she felt about him, he knew that she must have a plan to keep his parents close to her.

'Don't tell me... she's trying to bribe Father and Mother so she can get their blessing for her feelings toward me?' Aldrian thought as he shook his head with chuckle.

He passed several maids and butlers, who instantly bowed to him.

After a few minutes, he finally reached the inner garden and saw his wives together with his little siblings.

Sylphia's, Baek Jimin's, and Angelica's abdomens were already noticeably big, and all of them were wearing long, elegant dresses that looked comfortable for pregnant women. Their motherly aura was clearly evident.

His little sister, Celestina, was already six years old and had already begun cultivating. She was still in Low Beginner Stage, but that alone was more than enough to shock anyone who learned about it.

The mere fact that she could cultivate at the age of six had already caused a huge uproar after the news spread among the nobles.

Besides Aldrian, who was an exception, she was the only known person capable of cultivating before the age of ten.

Many believed that she might one day become a powerful cultivator like Aldrian, although many others doubted that possibility.

Aldrian was an exception among all beings, and most believed that, at best, she would grow into a cultivator whose talent approached his level but would never truly match him.

Celestina was happily playing with Baek Jimin by holding her hands, while Sylphia and Angelica watched them from the side with gentle smiles.

Ardevian, his little brother, was sitting in a stroller with an imperial maid, who served as his nanny, standing behind him.

Ardevian was already more than seven months old, nearly eight, and looked extremely healthy. He had become chubbier, making him look even more adorable. His eyes were filled with curiosity as he looked around at everyone in the garden.

Seeing all of them healthy and happy, Aldrian's heart warmed, and his smile became even gentler.

It gave him a sense of peace after everything he had done in the Second Heaven. After all the planning and plotting, the killing and bloodshed, he could finally take a brief rest and enjoy this precious moment with his family.

They finally sensed Aldrian, who had been standing there without approaching them. All of his wives showed astonished expressions. The maids instantly bowed to him as Aldrian began walking toward them.

His wives' eyes immediately became watery, and Aldrian could sense their emotions.

They knew that this was his real body. From their perspective, they had not seen his real body for years.

Sylphia quickly stood up and rushed toward Aldrian. Baek Jimin and Angelica also wanted to follow her, but Aldrian had already teleported and appeared right in front of Sylphia before softly embracing her.

"Hey, hey, be careful. You don't have to move that fast," Aldrian said softly.

Sylphia hugged him tightly.

"I miss you," she said softly.

Aldrian raised his eyebrows before smiling.

"Doesn't my avatar meet with you whenever you have the time?"

"That is not enough," Sylphia replied.

Aldrian did not say anything else and simply continued embracing her while kissing her forehead.

Baek Jimin and Angelica were already standing in front of him while holding back their tears, waiting for their turn.

Knowing that her sisters were waiting, Sylphia quickly pulled away from Aldrian and wiped away her tears. Aldrian then embraced his other wives one by one, as it was the only way he could comfortably hug them because of their big abdomens.

They also expressed how much they had missed him, crying as they whispered words of love. Aldrian gently comforted them with his own affectionate words.

The maids who witnessed the scene could not help but feel both touched and envious.

"His Majesty is so romantic. Her Majesties are also so loyal and full of love. They are all so loving toward each other," one of the maids said softly to her friend beside her.

"I hope that, in the future, my husband will treat me the same way His Majesty treats Her Majesties," her friend replied, making the first maid chuckle.

"Well, we can only hope. Finding someone like His Majesty would be difficult."

After comforting his wives, Aldrian checked each of their abdomens. He first checked Sylphia. He gently wrapped one arm around her shoulder while placing his other hand on her abdomen.

"How is our child? Has she been naughty?" he asked with a smile.

Sylphia smiled and shook her head.

"No. She seems to have a calm personality. She doesn't move much. I think she will be like you when she grows up."

By this point in their pregnancies, they already knew the gender of all the babies.

Sylphia was carrying a baby girl, Baek Jimin was carrying a baby boy, and Angelica was carrying a baby girl. According to the estimated birth dates, Baek Jimin's child would become the eldest sibling, Angelica's child would be the second, and Sylphia's child would be the youngest.

Aldrian then checked his other wives while also showering them with sweet words filled with love.

Aldrian was glad that there were no problems with his wives' pregnancies, as this was also his first time having children.

Throughout all the memories from his time as the Great Emperor to this life, he had never had a child before. That was why he had been quite worried about their pregnancies.

He had been worried that, because he was such a special being, it might be difficult for him to have children, or that there might be complications during his wives' pregnancies.

Fortunately, those concerns proved to be unnecessary. Instead, he was pleasantly surprised by the development of his babies.

When he checked on the babies, he discovered that they were not only absorbing the surrounding heaven and earth energy for the development of their bodies, but also for their cultivation.

Their dantians were still immature, yet there were already signs that they were absorbing heaven and earth energy.

This could only be described as a miracle.

The babies' condition were more or less similar to Aldrian's when he was still inside his mother's womb, although Aldrian's case had been far more astonishing.

At this stage, he had already begun cultivating because his dantian had already been fully formed.

That was what his parents had told him in the past when he once asked about it. When they learned about the condition of his babies, they were truly shocked, but they also felt that it made sense because they were his children.

They could not possibly be ordinary, and at the very least, they should possess talents close to the level of his own miracle.

'Maybe they'll already have cultivation when they're born?' Aldrian thought as he gently touched Angelica's abdomen while glancing at the abdomens of his other wives.

He then looked at Celestina and smiled at her.

"Good, good. You've already started cultivating and entered Low Beginner Stage," he said.

Celestina wore a proud expression as she lifted her chin, placing both hands on her waist.

"Of course, Brother. How could I disappoint you when I'm a genius?"

She could not hide her joy after receiving her brother's compliment.

Aldrian couldn't help but chuckle. Since Celestina had already been chosen as the successor of the Rivas Family, she cultivated using the Rivas Family's main cultivation method.

However, what she cultivated was the version that Aldrian had personally modified to make it even more perfect.

It would not be an exaggeration to say that the cultivation method Celestina cultivated was a Divine Grade cultivation method that was not inferior to the cultivation methods found in the Higher Heavens.

"Don't slack off just because you can cultivate quickly. Don't forget to pay attention to your foundation. The most important thing is still your cultivation foundation," Aldrian said.

Celestina nodded repeatedly.

"I will, Brother."

Aldrian then looked at Ardevian, who had already stretched out his little hands toward him, asking to be picked up. His cheerful expression clearly showed the simple joy of seeing his elder brother.

Aldrian smiled and, without another word, walked over and picked up his little brother.

He played with Ardevian under the watchful eyes of his family and the nearby maids.

For that brief moment, Aldrian completely forgot about everything happening outside and focused only on his family.
