Two years went by quickly. The Sylvans made trips back and forth from the Moon, resting for a few days each month not to strain their bodies. Their stomachs, as predicted, began to flatten for a little while, the large seed in their womb taking shape and being nourished by the Sylvan's placenta.
Everything pointed at an indication that the babies they were carrying were actual Sylvan children. After knowing that, Liu Shu was both delighted and confused.
'Why can't I give birth to Sylvan children?'
Honestly, her heart wasn't that comfortable with that information. She, as someone who represented the manifestation of life itself in the form of a World Tree, was not happy about that limitation. It felt as if her fertility was incomplete.
'It's not like I haven't tried during the last two years. I've even given birth to five more babies…'
When being intimate with her lovers, Liu Shu never tried to prevent pregnancy. If she got pregnant, then she would give birth to a baby. If not, then she would continue to be intimate until she got fertilized. Her Avatar didn't have any limits in terms of fertility, and she had absolutely no problem raising thousands of children. So, the reasons for holding back were absolutely zero.
Not to mention, Liu Shu adored the way her lovers poured their everything during intimate moments, not holding back in the slightest.
The Avatar gently looked at the five babies around her, her lips arched in a smile as she caressed their flower petals. "Say, babies. Why are you only born in the Alraune species? Not that I care, but wouldn't it be nice to have some variety? Perhaps, some of you could be dryads, others treants… How about a mandragora? There are hundreds of plant humanoid species, yet you all chose Alraune."
The babies, understanding nothing of what their mother was saying, babbled about and climbed over her body. Liu Shu didn't mind at all, chuckling as one of them crawled forward and hugged her large breast, suckling away with happy eyes.
After unlocking the
Seeing the messages [Sub-Tier Up!], [Elemental Affinity Up!], [Lifespan Up!], and many others made her smile with happiness. "I should share it with my other babies, right?"
Adding these five little saplings, her humanoid children amounted to 128, with four extra on the way, counting the ones the Sylvans were carrying.
So, with that in mind, two vines moved from the ground and latched onto her Avatar. With a few extra movements, she created a few containers with her own wood.
A few days later, Pyara was working on a few things, sitting by Lumina's side, when someone knocked on their office door. Lumina tilted her head. "Who might it be?"
"This is mail for Lady Pyara!"
Pyara looked at her lover and asked. "Did you ask for anything, love?"
"I didn't…"
Seeing her lover's confused expression, Pyara approached the door with a bit of caution. Once opened, she saw a common man holding a packet. "Um… you might be confused. We have not asked for anything."
The man chuckled. "Probably not. This packet is from Lady Heavenly Willow herself."
Pyara blinked. "From Mom?"
Lumina smiled from behind. "Since it's from the mother-in-law, you should take it."
After signing a few things, the man turned around and left, walking down the stairs.
The packet weighed a little, but not so much. So, Pyara placed it on the table and opened it. The moment the runic seal came off, a delightfully sweet and pleasant scent wafted out, quickly filling the place. Lumina's eyes glowed brightly. "Such a pleasant scent. What is this? It is making my mouth water just from smelling it a bit."
Pyara, however, was looking at the box with a strange expression. While she had long been cured of her romantic feelings toward her mother, there was no way she would be unable to recognize what was inside.
Lumina noticed Pyara's look quickly, and her intelligent eyes quickly caught onto things. "What is wrong, Pyara? Is the thing inside not something good?"
"I mean…" Pyara blushed a bit, not really knowing how to explain it. "... It is a good thing. This is something that most people would kill for. It's just that I don't understand why Mom would send something like this."
Lumina saw Pyara opening the last few seals to the package, and saw a large wooden container with the ability to hold around 5 liters of fluid. On the container, there was a note that Lumina gently took and read aloud.
"Hello, my pretty baby!
After I've evolved, my breastmilk has gained a lot of great effects. Drink a glass of 250 milliliters daily with your loved one; I am sure that it will bring you both many benefits.
With love as vast as my canopy,
Your lovely Mom."
After Lumina read it, she finally realized the reason for Pyara's strange look. Her eyes darted between the large jug and the note, unsure as to how to even react to this… gift. "... I understand why you said it is something almost anyone would kill for. Coming directly from mother-in-law, this will certainly give incredible benefits, but…"
She trailed her words, and Pyara scratched her cheek. "Just… Take this as a good opportunity to become stronger and do not think much of it."
Lumina's face gained an awkward blush. "That… yes. I will. Still, your mother's common sense in a few subjects is somewhat twisted, isn't it?"
Pyara laughed awkwardly, looking at that jug without knowing whether to laugh or cry.
In a herb shop for potion makers and other crafters, Sylvia stood on the counter and received a similar packet. As she looked at the tightly sealed object with curiosity, she felt two arms hug her from behind, startling her and causing her face to flush a bluish hue. When she turned back, she saw a peerlessly beautiful woman smiling at her with a face that would make goddesses weep in envy. "Luniere… Don't hug me so suddenly. You startled me."
The voice of Sylvia came from her belly-mouth, and Luniere's gorgeous face gained a hint of lust as her hands went into Sylvia's waist area. "Your startled look… is really cute~."
Sylvia's eyes moistened as her body became limp in her arms. Among all the people in the family, Luniere was probably the most beautiful. Her body and face were both carved to perfection, as if nature decided to use her as the model for what the epitome of beauty looked like.
Not only her appearance, but also her talent, intelligence, and everything else made her a woman that people would not approach for feeling lacking. At 124 years of age, Luniere was a Level 99 Sylvan, on the verge of breaking through.
But, strangely, what Luniere always adored had not been standard beauty, but an exotic one. While it sounded strange, looking at herself in the mirror made her heart unable to beat when she saw other beautiful men or women. Moreover, being a Sylvan, her preference leaned toward the female gender. After all, all Sylvans were female-looking. Therefore, their selection criteria was bound to be skewed as a species.
It was the exoticness of Sylvia's species that made Luniere, for the first time, have a trace of curiosity for another person. Then, looking at the big mouth on Sylvia's belly, her thoughts became strangely lewd at that time, making her awaken something in her heart.
Of course, she was not with Sylvia just to satisfy the new feeling of excitement. She truly came to love Sylvia's timid, gentle, and girly personality, which did not at all reflect her monstrous exterior. Like finding a fruit with a rugged exterior that was delicious inside, Luniere fell head over heels for the Sylphaith.
"Luniehre, rehearse my tonghe."
"Why~?" Luniere's lips arched into a lustful smile, her hands grasping onto the large and slimy tongue and playing with it. "Won't you devour me today like always, hm? Placing another seed for me to nurture again?"
Sylvia's poor heart almost went haywire at the goddess's provocation. Moreover, as Luniere kissed the place where her human mouth would usually be, her body buckled, losing strength as she became her prisoner.
Thankfully, before Luniere carried Sylvia back to their room to create their fourth baby, the blushing Sylphaith managed to voice out her worries. "T-That! Mom sent us a packageemmmhhh~."
Luniere blinked and looked over. "Hm… Let's see what it is quickly, then."
Still blushing like a shy little girl in Luniere's arms, Sylvia whispered. "But… We still have to attend our flower shop…"
The woman smirked, kissing Sylvia's overly large and beautiful eyes. "They can wait."
So, after unraveling the packet and Luniere reading the note, both of them were stumped for a second. Sylvia covered her face, her belly-mouth doing "wawawawa" sounds of embarrassment.
Luniere found her extremely adorable. So, after her eyes shone with a few ideas, she whispered in Sylvia's ears. "If you want to drink this, you must first pour it down my stomach and then drink it as it drips." She bit her ear and chuckled lowly. "I bet it will taste divine with your favorite nectar and fruits, right, love?"
"Wawawawawawawa."
Sylvia was about to explode from embarrassment, but there were no sounds of rejection. That day, the couple's fourth baby was conceived.
So, while some took it in stride, and others looked at the gift awkwardly, there were some who became quite kinky with it. The benefits ranged between individuals, but overall, all of them gained at a minimum one Sub-tier up to A+ tier, lifespan, and even ternary essence affinities.
Liu Shu had thought of seeing their reactions out of curiosity, but when she went to Sylvia's house, she silently decided to wait at least a day. '...The babies were really excited.'
Ignoring what she saw, she suddenly noticed a strange pulse on a corner of the continent. "Hm?"
Her main consciousness moved over, and she quickly recognized what these were. "This
