Douluo: Marrying a Wife to Become a God, Having Children for Blessings

"I... I can't accept this!"

These simple words seemed to drain all her strength.

No merit, no reward.

After all, she wasn't like those green teas in her previous life, who could shamelessly accept a man's kindness as if it were natural.

Seeing Xiao Bai resisting the allure of the Transformation Pill, Zhou Yi couldn't help but admire her silently.

He reached out and retrieved the pill.

A flicker of disappointment flashed in Xiao Bai's eyes. Though she had refused, her inner desire was undeniable.

In the next moment—

Zhou Yi had already taken the Transformation Pill between two fingers and placed it at her lips, speaking firmly:

"Come on, open your mouth!"

Xiao Bai froze, instinctively parting her soft lips.

The next second—

The Transformation Pill was fed into her mouth.

"Focus on absorbing the pill's power," Zhou Yi instructed before lifting the sea maiden into his arms and striding into the chamber.

As the pill dissolved instantly in her mouth, transforming into boundless medicinal energy that spread through her body, Xiao Bai's eyes were full of shock.

She hadn't expected such a precious pill to be given to her so easily.

This left her with a complicated feeling she couldn't quite describe.

But before she could dwell on it—

The pill's potent energy erupted, and she could feel herself undergoing a profound transformation.

"Why didn't you take this chance to win Xiao Bai over?"

The sea maiden asked curiously. She could tell Zhou Yi was interested in Xiao Bai.

She had assumed Zhou Yi would seize the moment, just as he had done with her before, striking when emotions ran high to achieve his goal.

Yet unexpectedly, Zhou Yi had carried her away instead.

"Right now, I only want you," Zhou Yi declared, tossing the sea maiden onto the bed.

Then he…

"Mmph…"

The sea maiden gasped, both surprised and pleased.

Though she didn't mind Zhou Yi having other women—after all, a man as strong and handsome as him naturally attracted many—but hearing those words still filled her heart with sweetness.

She gave herself to him wholeheartedly, showering Zhou Yi with warmth and passion.

Outside, Xiao Bai was marveling at her transformation, thrilled beyond words.

"I've truly become fully human! And my strength hasn't diminished at all—in fact, I can still transform into my true form freely. This Transformation Pill is miraculous!"

She leaped into the water, transforming into a giant white shark, swimming excitedly in circles before leaping out to become human again.

On the surface, she didn't look much different, but the change was profound.

Previously, her ability to take human form was temporary, not a complete transformation. Now, she was wholly human, with the potential to cultivate and ascend to godhood.

"A true divine pill!"

The more she felt the pill's power, the more Xiao Bai realized its rarity and value. She was deeply moved by Zhou Yi's willingness to give it to her without hesitation.

Though she knew Zhou Yi desired her, he hadn't used the pill or their previous wager to coerce her.

Nor had he forced her in any way.

This made her favor Zhou Yi even more.

In the Soul Beast world, powerful males typically dominated and claimed any female they desired—sometimes all of them.

Like a lion ruling a pride, all the lionesses belonged to the king.

Feeling an urge to thank Zhou Yi, Xiao Bai hesitated as she recalled that he had already carried the sea maiden away to…

"That scoundrel, doing such things in broad daylight…"

She muttered, but her curiosity was piqued as faint, sobbing-like sounds reached her ears.

It was the sea maiden's voice.

A mix of curiosity and gossip drew her closer to the source of the sound.

As she approached—

The sounds grew clearer.

"Ah…"

Xiao Bai's face turned crimson. She instinctively wanted to leave, but the fire of curiosity burned strongly within her.

Her steps, seemingly weighed down, moved her closer instead.

A few more steps.

And a few more.

The sounds, tempting as the devil's whisper, became irresistible.

Finally, she found herself pressed against the window, peering through a crack with a blend of curiosity and embarrassment.

In that moment—

Her body shivered, and her long legs instinctively pressed together.

"The sea maiden… she seems to be suffering terribly…"

Xiao Bai's eyes widened, her thoughts running wild:

"But… she also seems to be enjoying herself. Could it really be so… fun?"

"Ah, this is terrifying!"

Xiao Bai covered her face, her fingers spread wide apart, doing little to hide her eager gaze.

So… large…

Elsewhere, Tang Chen and Qian Daoliu, having nothing better to do, finally decided to approach Bo Saixi.

"High Priestess, I like you!"

Tang Chen gathered his courage and confessed to Bo Saixi, feeling that if he didn't act now, he'd lose his chance entirely.

Not to be outdone, Qian Daoliu also stepped forward, his eyes blazing as he stared at Bo Saixi with fervent anticipation.

Unfortunately for them, they had no idea—

Bo Saixi's heart already belonged to Zhou Yi.

They had long been eliminated from the race.

There wasn't even the slightest chance left.

"You're good people," Bo Saixi said, looking at Tang Chen and Qian Daoliu. If Zhou Yi hadn't appeared, she might have fallen for one of them—most likely Tang Chen.

"But I already have someone I love."

Her words struck like a thunderbolt, shattering their hopes.

Even though they had mentally prepared for rejection, hearing it directly from Bo Saixi was still devastating.

Their hearts ached, making it hard to breathe.

"Is it Zhou Yi?"

Qian Daoliu asked, unwilling to give up.

"High Priestess, do you know that Zhou Yi is nothing but a philanderer? In the past year alone, he's taken seven wives!"

"He's only after your body!"

But Bo Saixi, already aware of these facts, remained unmoved.

Qian Daoliu's words were like pebbles tossed into the sea—completely ineffective.

Bo Saixi looked at him coolly:

"And aren't you?"

Qian Daoliu: "…"

Tang Chen: "…"

What could they say to that?

No man who loves a woman isn't drawn to her body.

If he isn't, then it's not love—he's after something else, like her status, power, or wealth.

With this, the two men gave up entirely.

They had no chance.

Who could have imagined that two Pinnacle Douluos, over two hundred years old, would be thoroughly outclassed by a young man in his twenties?

It wasn't just defeat; it was a crushing, overwhelming loss.

With no way to challenge Zhou Yi, they could only retreat in bitter silence.

Their love story ended before it even began.

"Ah, refreshing!"

For some, it was a time of joy; for others, sorrow. In stark contrast to Tang Chen and Qian Daoliu's pain and disappointment, Zhou Yi felt as though he was swimming in the blissful Western Paradise.

How could words like "ecstatic" even begin to describe it?

"Huff… It's finally over… huff…"

Hiding in the corner, Xiao Bai was leaning against the wall, panting heavily, large gulps of air filling her lungs.

Like a little white shark on the brink of suffocation, her watery eyes glistened, her flushed cheeks adding to her charm.

Her heart was filled with shock and astonishment.

At this moment, her whole body felt limp and weak. She slumped against the wall, drained of all strength.

Curiosity had brought this trouble upon her.

After a brief rest, Xiao Bai finally recovered some energy. Clenching her legs together, she decided to head back and take a bath.

"Xiao Bai, since you're enjoying yourself so much, why bother sneaking around?"

A teasing voice rang out near her ear, startling Xiao Bai. She jumped up in shock but ended up bumping directly into Zhou Yi's embrace.

"You… you…"

Xiao Bai's eyes widened in embarrassment, her face a mix of shame and helplessness. She hadn't expected to get caught eavesdropping in such a humiliating manner.

It was over.

This was the ultimate social death.

"Come, let me give you a firsthand experience!"

Zhou Yi scooped Xiao Bai up in one smooth motion.

"No…"

"No? Did you just come out of the ocean?"

Looking into Xiao Bai's bashful and enchanting eyes, Zhou Yi's gaze turned playful. He adjusted his hold on her, the corner of his lips curving into a mischievous smile.

"Don't… don't say that…"

Xiao Bai buried her head into Zhou Yi's chest in shame. Surrounded by his rich, masculine scent, her heart pounded wildly.

To her surprise, she didn't find Zhou Yi repulsive. In fact, she greedily inhaled his scent, feeling a growing sense of reliance and comfort.

From the moment they met, when Zhou Yi had forced her to carry him on her back, she had been annoyed. Yet deep inside, she had also admired his overwhelming strength.

Later, when Zhou Yi split the sea with a single sword strike and severely injured the High Priestess, the sheer elegance of that attack had etched itself into her memory.

Then there was the time Zhou Yi chased the vicious sea dragon through the night, rescuing the High Priestess from its jaws. It was an act that had further deepened her admiration for him.

And before that, Zhou Yi had led her through the massacre of the Evil Demon Killer Whales, radiating unmatched dominance. Those moments filled her heart with an unprecedented sense of exhilaration and joy.

Watching Xiao Bai's bashful expression, Zhou Yi's heart stirred.

It wasn't just because another beauty had fallen into his arms.

It was also because there was another reward awaiting him.

Double the happiness.

Zhou Yi looked forward to it with eager anticipation.

(・人・)

"As expected of Xiao Bai, you really live up to your name—so pure and flawless!"

Gently setting Xiao Bai down, Zhou Yi gazed at the shy and beautiful woman in front of him, his eyes suddenly blazing with passion.

"I… I'm scared…"

Xiao Bai avoided Zhou Yi's intense gaze, her voice as soft as a mosquito's whisper. It carried a blend of shyness and nervous trepidation.

She had seen everything earlier.

It was terrifying.

"Be gentle… mmm…"

She couldn't finish her sentence.
