Chapter 730: Danger in the Sheets
At the instant he was least on guard, hed suddenly faced a deadly threat from his own wife.
It was only then that he remembered that mantids were quite notorious for biting off the heads of their mates. After the male had served its purpose, the larger female would kill them and use them as food to make it easier to grow their eggs. It wasnt universal, but it happened enough to be quite common and it was only at that instant that Sage realized the trouble hed gotten into. The Human Seal was not quite strong enough to completely suppress this innate quality of the species theyd all taken as their true form. Thankfully, hed realized what was happening and recovered from an almost innate paralysis just in time to keep from losing his life.
After a few minutes of recovery, the most dangerous time had passed. A few of the Purple Mist Sect members had already gathered around, wary of an attack taking place. They saw the state of the bedroom and worried about assassins, but he reassured them that in this world he was supreme. He sent them away and then went back towards the devastated remnants of their bedroom. As he got close he felt a vicious intent lock onto him and then saw Jiao peering up at him from the pile of rubble. Surprisingly, the whole room came down around her, but the space that the destroyed bed had taken was free of the falling debris. The bed had been blasted apart by Sages escape, but she was still lying calmly in the pile of sheets and pillows. Sages eyes widened as he saw her strange situation. He waved at her and the mess around her, and then the predatory gleam in her eye faded and against all odds a blush blossomed upon her cheeks.
Sorry! I dont know what came over me.
She looked embarrassed, like shed just accidentally knocked over a vase, or let out a fart in the middle of a conversation. Which to him, seemed a lot less innocuous than an attempt upon her husbands life. The look on his face conveyed this message and she turned a darker shade of red, What is going on? Why did I only feel embarrassed and not horrified?
Well, on the plus side I feel like Ive developed a danger-sense without having to rely on the Timeless Eyes all the time.
Turns out, having the loved one you were taking care of randomly assault you was a very good way to train ones sense of danger. With months of such training, he became very good at dodging violent attacks without letting it interrupt his other activities. Hed be carrying in a large dish full of chilled confectionary treats and then hed have to bend over sideways to avoid a flying dagger. Such attacks had become so commonplace to him at this point that he didnt even drop the tray. In the past he would have had to use Foresight to so aptly judge the trajectory and presence of incoming attacks, but these nine months had served as a rapid training program for him. On the plus side, the degree of violence was a lot lower on a daily basis than it had been on the day of conception. There was a lot less lethal intent during the pregnancy, so he was mainly just having to deal with avoiding getting himself maimed.
Once their labor started he suffered the most fierce attacks, but once hed weathered those they got surprisingly docile as they focused more on the difficulty of birth and not injuring him. It was actually quite surprising to him how childbirth could bring even a mighty cultivator down to the level of a mortal. He could only guess that it was related to the strength of the child. A cultivators child would be more gifted at birth than a normal mortal. So, the greater child took a greater toll upon the cultivator than a normal child to the point they suffered similar troubles. It also helped to highlight how hard it was for those from normal mortal families to advance in the world. The child of two cultivators was much stronger than that of a pair of mortals.
Sage asked a few of the Mount Song Sword Sect Elders and they told him a truth that helped him somewhat. While the child of two cultivators had a much stronger body and a higher average talent, it was still not guaranteed. A humans talent was highly variable and the most supremely talented geniuses were just as likely to be the child of a cultivator as they were to be the child of poor mortal farmers. The difference was their access to resources and training. Even the most modestly talented child of two cultivators could become a powerful cultivator with so many resources and training available, while the talented mortal had to claw their way up from nothing, competing with others for a spot in a sect. Their great talent was an advantage on their side, but it wasnt a solution to the troubles of the cultivator.
The issues of a difficult childbirth seemed to be compounded by the fact that they were not true humans anymore. In fact, Sage was actually worried that his wives were going to lay an egg, but thankfully the Human Seal was far more comprehensive than hed imagined. He was pleasantly surprised to see the beautiful faces of his two sons. Faces that were completely human and a miracle to his eyes. Surprisingly, they stayed fully human for the first few months of struggle. Thankfully, the war with his wives came to an end at this point. With childbirth passed, they could take healing pills to restore their strength rapidly. With their strong bodies it was a lot easier to handle the demands of a newborn. They could handle a high intensity battle for days on end, so skipping sleep for a week was pretty simple.
