Chapter 163: The Next Morning

-----

The morning sunlight came through the windows as I groggily woke up, feeling both refreshed and exhausted at the same time, a strange combination of feelings that has begun to become rather common since I started having girls in my bed every night.

Damn, I had a lot of sex last night.

I don’t know how these girls can keep up with my literal endless stamina, but they always do their best to drain me out of every last droplet of every somehow.

Sex might be stronger than any foe I’ve fought.

Fiery Hair was incredibly intense; the power of a primitive woman must never be underestimated; I had been completely defeated by her.

Even when I finally grew slightly tired, she still had a lot of stamina and energy left; she wouldn’t let me rest; she was practically outclassing me!

I think she even started using her Primal Power to “mate” with me because she wanted to make sure she would get pregnant no matter what.

And… I think she already did. I doubt I have to readjust anything for her though; the baby will be strong, but the mother is even stronger.

Her body is so tough she will suffer no complications, as I’ve already calculated. The same would go for Mursha now, and I think even Urbosa and Merkite have become strong enough to not need any protection by weakening the child by sealing their power until it is born.

But by the heavens, I am surprised by how fast my seed can impregnate them and develop inside of their wombs. Looking at Fiery Hair, she already has a little life developing in her.

It must be several times faster than normal humans, right? I guess if I am even considered a human. I’m already… something beyond.

“Oh my… so fast?!”

And I was shocked even more when I saw the bellies of Urbosa and Merkite; they had already begun to grow bigger, and it was now noticeable.

Seeing the babies with my special eyes, I immediately noticed the fetuses were already quite well developed, with most of the necessary organs ready.

And it was interesting—they looked more like humans than beast-kin but had tails and beast ears already developed.

Hm, our children might be hybrids then, like Peperina?

That’s quite interesting; I might be creating completely new races for each one of my kids.

I think that because they have inherited part of my Divinities and Primordial Venerable Ki and also my powerful evolved bloodline, these energies and powers are hastening their development to an insane pace.

Probably dozens of times faster than what a human child would take to develop, then this summed up with beast people usually taking half as much as humans inside the womb too.

Urbosa told me Hekita was born only after five months of gestation, but she said it can usually be even shorter depending on if the child is born very healthy.

The healthier, the earlier they’re born, apparently, with the earliest child born in only three months from a mother that ate like six meals a day.

It has been roughly like… a bit over a month since I had my first time with them, I believe? Probably two months by now. It also slightly aligns with the time I returned to Earth.

But did they get pregnant from our first time? I don’t think so? I think it was a bit later… Well, whatever the case, the kids might be born…

Hmm, calculating their rate of growth in less than a week!

By the Nine Heavens…

I suppose I can’t wait!

“Phew…”

I slowly sat down and then stretched my arms and legs. I felt slightly stiff for some reason.

Seeing my girls sleeping so peacefully filled my heart with tranquility. I kissed them one by one; none of them woke up anyway, cuddling in bed together as I walked away.

I guess they’ll probably sleep some more; that’s fine. I want my wives to laze around and rest all they want. I always try to spoil them.

I took a warm shower and then changed my clothes. Finally feeling better, I decided that this time I'd cook breakfast for my lovers.

Stealthily walking out of the room without making any sound by turning into a mass of photon energy, I reached the big garden to the left corridor.

There, I saw the beautiful garden, the sun coming from the open ceiling, and the calming small waterfall flowing down.

As I admired this little path of nature and meditated to set my thoughts straight for the day, I noticed several footsteps.

“Mama! Good morning!”

It was little Hekita, who probably sniffed me out and came running to greet me.

She hugged me tightly and rubbed her snout on my belly.

“Good morning, dear,” I kissed her forehead. “Did you sleep well?”

“Yeah!” she nodded, wagging her tail happily. “I had a good night. We watched a lot of animated series with Auntie Ruby. She showed me stuff called “animey” a lot, and I liked it! There were stories of magical girls and big robots!”

“Is that so?” I wondered. “Ah, so your auntie has been nice to you; that’s good to hear. What about grandma?”

“Grandma went to sleep early,” said Hekita. “She said she was tired from all the training she has been doing. I think she needs a break.”

“I see,” I nodded. “Alright then! Shall we go look for them to have some breakfast with my family too?”

“Yeah!” Hekita quickly climbed my body as she sat down over my shoulders. “Let’s go!”

She did that without even asking for permission, but she was so cute she was allowed to do such things for the moment, and only because she’s very cute!

Knock, knock!

We walked through the corridors and reached my sister’s room. I knocked first but heard nothing.

“She must still be sleeping… Was Juan with her?”

“Erm, I think so!”

“I see. They probably are tired then…”

“Huh? Why?”

“Ah, nothing… Don’t think about it, dear.”

Then we moved to my mother’s room, knocked, and then we heard her voice.

“Yes? Is it you, Katherine?”

“Yeah mom.”

“Oh, wait a bit!”

I heard mom running around; I think she was getting dressed.

Once she walked into the door and opened it, she was ready for the day.

Yeah, mom always wakes up early in the morning.

“Good morning, honey,” she kissed my face. “Hm? Oh Hekita! How are you?”

“I’m fine, grandma! Kind of hungy though,” Hekita said.

“Hahah! Alright, shall we prepare some breakfast then?” giggled mom.

"Yeah, let’s go,” I nodded.

As we moved to the kitchen and started cooking, I told mom and Hekita about the news regarding Urbosa and Merkite’s pregnancy.

“So I’m getting siblings this week?! No way! Yaaaay!” Hekita started running everywhere and jumping like crazy. She even climbed the walls and started running them. “I’m going to be a big sister! I’m going to have little siblings! Can’t wait!”

As we saw her run around, my mother nodded.

“I-I see… I just never thought it would be so quick,” she said. "Honestly, I am still trying to process how you were able to get another girl pregnant. But well, seeing how you’ve done so many other things, changing sex shouldn’t surprise me.”

“It has more to do with body shapeshifting though, but yes,” I nodded. “It’s embarrassing to talk about it… But yes, they’ll be my kids.”

“Haha, okay, I understand it's embarrassing,” my mother nodded. “But there’s nothing to feel embarrassed about, Katherine; I’m your mother after all. But I get it; let’s not talk about it if it's uncomfortable for you. It's not how I imagined I would be getting grandkids, but I’m happy nonetheless.”

“Thank you, mom.” I felt a bit relieved she was okay with this. “A-And well, Mursha and Fiery Hair are definitely pregnant too…”

“What? That quickly?!” she wondered, gasping.

“Uh-huh…” I nodded, feeling embarrassed. “I think the power of my, you know, what is quite… well, it strong. I think it has inherited my strengths, so the kids are not only… conceived quickly, but they also grow super-fast.”

“Oh my… Katherine, be careful, alright? I don’t want to tell you how you should live your life or something, but… Don’t have too many kids; you’ll stop remembering their names or won’t have enough time for them all, alright?” she said nervously. “They’re pregnant, so I guess it can’t be helped… But seeing how your nature is, you’ll probably pick up even more girls in the future; try to use some anti-conceptive.”

“My nature?” I asked, feeling a bit hurt. “Mom, I am not that… like that!”

“Hmm…” she crossed her arms. “Already four girls you call your wives; I doubt you’ll stop with just that!”

"Mom, don’t say that! I am not that… horny,” I looked elsewhere.

“Uh-huh, okay, I’ll try to believe you then,” she sighed. “Anyways, how much food are we making? I’ve already made like twenty pancakes!”

“At least fifty more,” I said. “Urbosa and Merkite don’t eat too much, but they do eat considerably. Hekita likes eating a lot; she’s still growing. Fiery Hair and Mursha like eating a lot too. And all of them love eating meat in breakfast, so making some roasted meat is always a must too.”

I looked at the huge oven; there was a whole wild boar being grilled there, covered with delicious spices and sauces.

“My girls are big eaters, so I had to adapt to that, haha…” I giggled. “Even with this, I don’t know if Fiery Hair will be satisfied. If she’s still hungry, she’ll go hunt something and eat it later, though.”

“That huge girl sure loves eating! She’s certainly a cavewoman, huh…” My mother nodded.

“Yes, despite that, she’s so cute,” I said. “And also so beautiful; I’m lucky she loves me…”

“Hah, I guess so…” my mother giggled as she prepared thirty pancakes now. “Forty more to go…”

“Hahah, let me help then, mom.”

I ended helping her cook after she got tired of doing so much, though she still helped making eggs, bacon, and also some bread. Indeed, this wasn’t a breakfast anymore but a huge feast for a small battalion, and it was only mostly for four girls. Maybe five if we include Hekita.

Once we were done cooking and placed everything on the table, Hekita was already drooling. The cute wolf girl instantly sat down, and I rapidly served her the morning pancakes she loved.

“How much Whip Cream?”

“A lot! Lot! Lot!”

She cheered as I poured a lot over the ten pancakes she was going to eat on her own… Indeed, despite being so small, she eats a lot. She consumes most of this energy cultivating, training, and fighting. Even using Anubis consumes her energies rapidly, as he’s fueled primarily by her Stamina and Spirit Energy.

“There you go! With lots of strawberries like my baby girl loves it,” I giggled.

“Yaaay!” She started eating right away, with a fork and a knife. She used to eat with her bare hands but quickly learned to use them. “Nam, nam! Nam!”

My mother giggled a bit after seeing her eat; she was indeed a little pancake-destroying monster.

While she was eating, I quickly prepared food on a table and moved it to my room to greet my wives with a breakfast on bed.

“Good morning, my loves!”

I stepped inside as they groggily opened their eyes, glancing at me half-sleepily.

“Huh? Food? Food in bed!” Fiery Hair was surprised. “Smells so nice! Meat! Gimme!”

“Oh? Dear! You brought us breakfast for bed? You shouldn’t have to…” Urbosa felt flattered.

“Thank you though!” said Merkite. “Hm? Why’s my belly so big out of nowhere?”

“Ah, usually when we’re pregnant, our bellies barely change, but they surely get bigger…” nodded Urbosa. “Looks like the kids are growing strong and rapidly!”

“Oh wow, that’s really amazing,” said Mursha. “Will my kid also grow quickly? I haven’t felt like my belly’s getting any bigger yet. Though I feel a little brat growing. Hm, also thanks for the food; it’s good. Love ya.”

“Hm, well, I think Urbosa and Merkite’s tribe have faster gestation periods,” I said. “Right? I don’t know much about orcs; are they quicker or longer?”

“Usually… between six and seven months,” said Mursha. “I think…”

“Oh, that’s not too far off, I suppose,” I nodded. “What about your tribe, Fiery Hair?”

“Hmm? Dunno…” Fiery Hair said. “Long, hmm, from winter... to spring! Sometimes up to... Summer!”

“I see...” I wondered. “Oh, so you mean between… 4.5 months or 6? Interesting, so its quicker than modern humans too… I’m surprised.”

“Maybe the Primal Power makes them grow quicker then,” said Mursha. “That’s like the power from her world, no?”

“Yeah!” nodded Fiery Hair. “Child grow quick and strong! Fiery Hair could walk in three months old! Fiery Hair could lift rocks at six months old! Fiery Hair could hunt animals at nine months old! Fiery Hair could hunt more animals in one year!”

“Damn, you grew up so fast!” I said. “Maybe… it’s an adaptation for the children to survive in a dangerous and wilder world compared to our own? So they can keep up with their parents and escape danger better. Like animals… ah, I hope that didn’t sound offensive.”

“Nah!” she smiled. “It’s like that! Yes! Children must grow quickly to survive the wild world! Parents protect, but parents can’t be everywhere all the time! Fiery Hair parents are gone. Big scaled ate them… Fiery Hair was very sad. But had to survive and hunt on her own! Growing fast helps.”

“O-Oh, I’m so sorry about that…” I said. “I didn’t know…”

“It’s fine! Wife loves Fiery Hair, Fiery Hair loves wife… So very happy! Parents must be happy too, grandchildren are coming soon,” she giggled, patting her belly. “Don’t worry, we live happy together. Beautiful life.”

Geez, can this girl even get sad? She’s so cheerful…

“I’m glad you think that… I’ll make sure to make your life the happiest,” I said, holding her hand. “I love you.”

“Love you too! Come here!” She hugged me and kissed me a lot.
