Chapter 990: Pregnant Women
“Wait, let me change,” the Seahorse Anya quickly transformed into her human form before jumping onto Ning in a tight hug. “I can’t believe you are really back, master. I’m so happy right now.”
Anya felt like a giddy little child when she saw Ning again. She left Ning and hugged Blue too, who was way too large for her to put her arms around.
The other people in the group looked around with a weird expression on their fish faces. They had always seen Anya as this stoic female warrior who was as good at healing as she was in battle.
They would have never believed that there was such a little child hidden deep inside. That made them wonder if the Anya they saw for so long was even her true self at all.
“How are you doing, little girl? I see that you landed yourself on a rather terrible planet,” Ning said.
“It’s… alright,” Anya said with a dejected face. “Once you get the hang of it, you can survive. Although there is nothing else to do than just survive.”
“However, I’m more worried about my children. I just keep thinking that they might be in a worse place than I am,” she said.
“No worries, they are all doing fine,” Ning said. “I’ve been to all of them and have brought them back to a single place on another planet where they can live just like they did in Kumia,” Ning said.
Anya’s eyes went wide. “Really, master?” she asked. “My daughters and grandchildren are all okay?”
“Yes, they are all fine,” Ning said. “You have nothing to worry about.”
“Thank god,” Anya said as she started wiping the tears off her face. “I can finally be free of this anxiety.”
“Actually, you can be free of everything,” Ning said. “I came here to take you off this planet.”
“Oh, you can do that?” Anya asked with a surprised face. With just her divine sense she asked, “Is your system that developed now?”
“Yes, it’s good and we can leave whenever you are ready,” Ning said and looked around. “Where’s your husband? He should be around right?”
“Rowan is out to hunt some beasts,” Anya said with a bit of hesitation to her face. “Do I have to leave right now?”
Ning saw the hesitation on her face and frowned. “We don’t have to leave right now. Do you have something you need to do?” he asked.
“Actually, yes,” she said. “Umm, come with me.”
Anya turned back to her Seahorse form as she was starting to suffocate. Now that she could finally breathe again, she took Ning somewhere.
The other humans were worried and tried to stop her or ask her where she was going.
“I’m taking my master to the room full of women,” she said.
“What? You can’t do that. Men aren’t allowed in there,” the others said.
“Well, he’s no ordinary man. I learned everything from him, so he will be more helpful than anything I could ever do,” Anya said.
The others looked at Ning with a disbelieving faces. There was no way that was true. Still, they had no choice but to accept Anya’s words as she was the only healer they had in this world.
Ning was curious and walked with her before going toward a massive piece of rock that was cut open to make a living space. Glowing gems were laid all around to help them be able to see, and they were living close to a volcanic exhaust vent that sent heated water through a current toward them.
Ning entered the building and saw the rock being cut up in various segments on the inside as well to make up rooms. Not all rooms were occupied, but the ones that were were full of women in them.
And every single one of those women was pregnant.
“I’m in charge of them and their help, master,” Anya said. “I need to stay here and administer some healing pastes to them if the need arises.”
“I see,” Ning said as he looked around. “How long have they been pregnant?”
“Umm, some have been pregnant for less than a year. A few for over a year and there are 2 that are over 2 years of pregnancy. In this world, the women get pregnant for a long time and the babies come out with a full cultivation base,” Anya said.
“I know,” Ning said. “Here, I got these on the way here. They need it right?”
Ning took out a bunch of beast cores that he had obtained from the sea beasts on the way here.
Anya’s eyes went slightly wide when she saw them. “You really do know everything. I shouldn’t have doubted you at all,” she said as she took the beast cores and looked at them.
“Hmm?” she noticed something. “Master, these cores… are they from a strong beast?”
“Huh? Oh yeah, Blue killed most of them, but I had to help once or twice. Most of them are from High Immortal or even True Immortal beasts, but there are 2 from Immortal Saints too,” Ning said. “Although I never did see an Immortal King one. I know they are rare in this world as that’s the highest possible realm, but it’s still sad or I could have brought them to you.”
“No master, this is more than enough,” Anya said quickly. “In fact, this might be actually too much. I don’t know how these women can eat something so strong.”
“Well, I wasn’t really thinking about them when I killed the beasts, so you can use it however you want,” Ning said.
The pregnant women, since they were in beast forms, could eat beast cores and give the Qi in those cores to their children to passively cultivate while they were inside.
That was how it was even possible for them to come out as a Spirit Transformation cultivator right from the womb.
If they didn’t gain the beast cores, then the only thing they could do was give birth to normal children, who would, unfortunately, die by being crushed by the sheer weight of the ocean.
Such was life in this world.
