Andara System: MA6Z2 Planet
“I thank everyone for coming to witness this joyous occasion. I can see that many of you are still traumatized from their travels and I do not want to be blamed if some of you will collapse on their way back.”Seeing that majority of the guests have finished their meals, a groom is currently making a speech.
The groom looked around and would be greeted by warm smiles.
“This resort is booked for the next three days for anyone who wishes to stay and I hope everyone will focus on enjoying themselves and not disturb me and my wife who is excited to become a mother.
“Ha ha ha ha”
The crowd laughed and clapped as the groom lifted his wife and slowly walked out of the grand reception hall. The groom’s name is Pio, a seventy year old soldier and a member of a branch family of Arshua Clan. He is an Early Foundation Establishment cultivator who just retired after a fifty year military service. It may sound like he is old but with his cultivation extending his life to 150 to 200, he is practically like in his twenties.
A month ago after going back home, one of their elders arranged marriage him to a young maiden from Rimim Family. The woman’s name is Reetha. She is the third child and only daughter of a rich business man.
Pio believed that love should not be forced and declined the matchmakers at first but upon seeing the photo of a flawless beauty of the goddess his elder picked, his sense of reason which was molded through fifty years of strict military discipline has been overpowered by his desire to propagate.
When the two met, Pio only remembered having said yes to everything without him realizing that Reetha wanted to be married at Gitlangan Hotsprings, a far flung resort within Arizan Conservatory where many of digital technologies are banned and the mode of travel within the mountains is a beast driven carriage.
The world has advanced so much that almost everything can be accomplished with the aid of Artificial Intelligence but in order to preserve the heritage of being alive, countless laws have been passed to ensure human manpower is required to operate society.
Because of these laws, some ancient traditions were revived and preserved and one of them is a three hour ride on a beast driven carriage towards their destination.
Pio closed the door and gently placed down Reetha on the bed. While he was excited to spring into action, he did not rush and slowly kissed the delicate lips of the nervous Reetha. After a minute of passionate kissing, Reetha managed to hold Pio’s face and carefully touched Pio’s mouth attempting to stop him.
“Is something wrong?” Pio took Reetha’s fingers into his mouth.
“It’s my period. Tomorrow should be the last day if you can wait.”
“What’s period?” Pio brain stopped functioning as all his blood is pumping all to his sturdy sword. He could not wait any longer so he quickly helped Reetha remove her dress.
“There is blood coming out. Are you sure you want to do this now?”
Pio still did not listen and continued undressing his lovely wife however upon removing the last undergarment to reveal the uncharted forest, he paused on the sight of blood. It was at that moment he remembered what “period” means.
His brain cells started working normally again.
If he were a regular guy, he probably would not mind as long as there is protection. Unfortunately, it has only been two months since he separated from the military and the sight of blood called forth memories of arduous training and fighting monsters but most especially his overbearing personality. Common masses know he is a soldier but only a few actually knows he is a well respected Captain.
Although he had only known her for a few days, he wanted their relationship to work out like real couples who had been in love for a long time. He remembered his parents telling him to make sure everything is memorable for both of them. The fact that she tried to stop him earlier means she was not ready physically.
“I am sorry.” Reetha got up and still kissed Pio to which was passionately returned. After a minute, Pio retracted his tongue and a laid on the king sized bed with his hands spread to his side. Reetha was silent seeing her disappointed husband.
After a minute of awkward silence, Pio got to his feet and wrapped his lower body with a towel.
“I have taken a few aphrodisiacs and may take some time to completely wear off. With a few hours of meditation, I should be able to expel this from my body. Seeing you’re exhausted, why don’t you take a rest and will join you as soon as I can?”
Reetha meekly nodded as she raised her right hand to cover her two white mounds.
The truth is Pio took more than the prescribed dosage of the erogenous magic medicine despite precautions. It is one of those choices men are willing to risk being hospitalized or gamble their lives on rather than their dignity being sullied because of not performing well in bed. Thanks to his cultivation, his body can tolerate even three straight days of being hardened. The only issue is that, he cannot roam freely with a trace of protrusion under his pants.

Pio entered a private indoor pool alone and sat at the edge of the pool with his feet dipped into the warm water. Instead of meditating, he took out a bottle of wine from his spatial ring. The wine is not special and could be bought at any regular stores but it was a parting gift from his subordinates.
Sigh
He planned to spend the whole evening with his wife and enjoy the sceneries tomorrow but here he is, alone with his firm and throbbing genitalia. He is reminiscing the good old days. Every once in a while, his team would go out and visit brothels to release their pent up masculine desires. There are a few rules prohibiting them with these activities but are often overlooked as long as they do not indulge too much.
While he was thinking if there are nearby brothels he could maybe visit and to help him pacify his loneliness, he heard a soft knock and a woman’s voice.
“Room service.”
Pio just realized he did not turn the sign that would indicate he should not be disturbed. He wanted to send the woman away but part of him wanted to redefine room service into the other kind of service.
“Come in”
A woman in her twenties entered while holding a basket. She was wearing a bluish-purple dress that looks like a kimono and it does accentuate the girl’s looks even with little make up. Her beauty is definitely far from his wife however for a hungry rooster, even an ordinary girl looked like an angel from heaven.
Pio looked away to control his burning desires and reminded himself of difference of status and of Spiritual Elemental Affinity which is required to maintain their bloodline.
The woman approached him and kneeled to his side as she handed him a well decorated bottle.
“This wine is the pride of this resort. It has soothing effect and is helpful for cultivators like you, esteemed master. If you need a massage or if you need someone to wash your back… “
The woman stopped talking upon seeing the man got to his feet and removed his towel revealing an angry hulk.
“Can you massage this?”
“This respected master, there are a few local bars nearby and we are more than happy to arrange a suitable partner to satisfy your needs. If you..” The woman looked to the floor and did not dare stare.
“Ten thousand crones.” Pio interrupted.
“This sir, I’m unsuitable…”
“A hundred thousand crones…” Pio interrupted again. Seeing the girl was about to rebut, he raised his offer.
“Five hundred thousand crones” Pio smiled seeing the girl’s hesitation. Between dignity and money, people with little money will think twice if they have dignity. He took out a bank note from his ring threw it in front of the woman who looked like she was about to cry.
“That is a million crones. All I ask is one night.”
Pio summoned a bed from his spatial ring and placed it beside the pool. He then took the girl’s hand and slowly ravaged her until sunrise. For a moment, Pio should have been awarded the best newlywed husband of all time but blame it to his status and wealth and bad luck, he ended up falling prey to his basic urges.
After the deed, things went smoothly for the newlywed couple and everything should have moved on with their lives except that the woman who was forced into copulation was not a prostitute. She is a simple woman on her prime and her life was ruined with a pregnancy she refused to get aborted with. She quit her job and decided to raise a child with the wealth left behind by that shameless perpetrator.
Days passed and the baby bump started growing.
As a woman who grew up in the countryside, she refused to be informed of her child’s gender every time she visited a doctor.
After nine months, the most awaited day finally came. The woman endured the pain of hard labor. When the child finally came out, she was the happiest woman upon hearing her baby cry. The joy was immeasurable and although she wanted to cuddle her newborn baby as soon as it came out, the midwife still did not stop.
“Mom, why aren’t they stopping” The woman was startled as she asked her mother who was standing beside her and holding her hands.
“You are having twins, my love.” The mother caressed her daughter head.
“On the count of three I want you to push hard. Ok?”
“1, 2 and “
Cries echoed through the walls of the delivery room. It is very ironic that the procedure could have been accomplished effortlessly and painlessly through the use of technology located right beside the adjacent room but law dictates it can only be used when necessary.
Three days later.
Inside an office located on the top floor of a five storey hospital, two men are currently having a heated discussion.
“Director, excluding myself, three doctors and each using different equipments performed the test separately. We could easily secure the approval of the funds with this information but what are you doing? I get that I will never be able to get your position but do you really think there is a need to play us like this?”
The Director stood up and walked to the side and turned on a water heater. Talking to this doctor annoys him every time so he decided to prepare tea this time and his actions further infuriated the middle aged doctor.
“Allow me to remind you why you can never become a Director? You see, being a good and the best doctor is not a qualification for this position.”
“Position, your neck!”
The doctor could no longer take it and slammed the door after stepping out.
The Director of the hospital was unaffected and even smiled as he poured hot water on to his tea. He lost count as to how many times the door has been slammed that sometimes he admires how excellent who ever installed that wooden door.
When his tea was ready, he sat on his chair and opened a file.
Three days ago, the nurse who performed an Affinity Mensuration Test on two babies reported and requested an apparatus to be changed because she thinks it was broken which then got the attention of a presiding doctor, then to the Head of the Department, and then eventually to him.
One of the twins have an Elemental Affinity score of nine, a result that should only show up theoretically and a result doctors of their level will never be able to encounter their whole career. If they report this to the government, they could easily secure funding as proposed by the doctor who just left however, none of them can see nor understand the bigger problem.
Of all the doctors employed by the hospital, only he has experience being deployed in the abyss military warzone and this experience is the very reason he was chosen to become a director despite his mediocre talents.
On the surface, the laws governing societies look like it is applicable to every citizen but in reality, they do not apply to families or clans with Core Formation Experts let alone Nascent experts. He pulled some strings to investigate who the father is and it turned out to be a low key Captain and on top of it, the father is a member of a branch family of ancient bloodline. If this information was made to the public, this would tarnish their reputation and everyone in the hospital would probably die in some made up explosion.
He wanted to test the baby himself but he suddenly changed his mind upon seeing the best doctor doing his rounds. After he finished his tea, he picked up his phone and called the Arshua Clan residence.
Unbeknownst to everyone, the other baby who is overshadowed by his twin’s latent talent smiled like a devil as he confirmed he retained his memories from his previous lives.
