Post War (5)

"If you weren't going to say anything then I would have. Let's all be a close family again." Liang Yu, siad, putting her hands together and pressing them against her cheek. She sort of nuzzled them like she was coddling a young child. The smile on her face was contagious, Lei Jin's wives and concubines all fell victim to it. By that, it was simply them imagining that the hands were representative of a child. 

"I almost feel bad for you, my son. You have decades worth of skinship to make up for. This won't be an easy time for you." Lei Wei sighed, swirling a cup of tea before downing it in one go. 

"Anyways, I'd like to have this bath with all of the daughters my Son decides to bring into the family. I also need some time to reacclimate myself to this world. It really is an awkward feeling, but once I get used to it, I'd love to spend time with all of my new daughters." Liang Yu said, blushing as she came back out of her day dream. 

"When Mother is ready, this daughter would love to spend time together. So please forgive me for asking this, but could you refrain from retreating into seclusion for a time? I know all of my children would be eager to get hugs and kisses from their grandmother." Qing Ning said, bowing slightly, with a respectful posture. 

Liang Yu reached across the table and held Qing Ning's hands in her own. "There is no need to ask this of me. I want to visit with all of my grandbabies as well. I know that 3 of them are already married. I have to see them before they start having babies themselves. If I was still in the afterlife, it would have been a different story. All I would have been able to do is watch over them with a hopeful and heavy heart. Now that I've been brought back thanks to the will of the heavens, I won't squander this opportunity." She said, making sure that Qing Ning, felt at ease and relaxed. 

"Mother... I have something else to confess. My Husband's women, my sisters. We number so great in large part because of myself. I have..." Qing Ning started speaking, tears flowing like rivers. 

"It's been hard on you, hasn't it. Don't worry, I know that you only did what had to be done. I would never hate my daughters. You've done a great job, thank you for being there for my son and bearing him children that he can be proud of. You and all my daughters are not only precious to Jin'er, but to myself as well. I love you, so don't cry." Liang Yu said in a comforting tone. "If you cry I might be forced to hug and kiss you until you calm down." She added in a joking manner. 

"Alright, Mother, I will leave you and father to it. I'd like to take care of the other matters I must take care of before they become problematic. So forgive me, but I'll need my Wives for this. However, Yue Biya and the others will be able to keep you company." Lei Jin said, in a shaky voice, unsure as to if he should go or not. 

"Oh, don't let mother keep you too long then. I know you are an important figure among the people of the whole world. So there is no sense in my keeping you. Plus you're about to give me more daughters, is that right?" Liang Yu said, with a particular look in her eyes. 

"Mother, I am. After I'm done with this matter you will have no less than a thousand daughters." Lei Jin replied, unable to deny his mother's question. 

"I see, well then, let's see... How many children are you planning on having with all of them?" Liang Yu asked, trying to hide her excitement. To her, having an impressively large family of blood relatives was nothing short of exhilarating. This was the reason she wasn't so upset by the fact her son, Lei Jin, had taken a great many women to his bed and made love with each of them.

"10!" All of the women said with wide eyes, sparkling with anticipation. Their smiles were clearly ones of excitement. 

"Pfft, Ahahaha! Son, you've got your hands full don't you." Lei Wei laughed after seeing the response Liang Yu's question received. "Make sure you don't disappoint their expectations. I too would like to see all those grandchildren when they are born. Ah, 10 thousand grandchildren." 

"They only said 10 because they were holding back and tempering their true desires. I'm positive that if the situation allowed for it, they would each want at least double that number. Perhaps even triple. And in Xia Meili's case, I know she wouldn't want to ever stop having children. However, that never ending would be problematic, eventually. So I will not allow any more than 21 children each." Lei Jin explained with a sigh. "Besides, there are several little ones here that keep eyeing the two of you. 5 of them are my blood, 2 of them are adopted, but I would fight just as hard for their sake as I would for any of my other children. And the others, Are solely my own children, in a way of course. You'll understand in time why that was possible. And also why I refuse to do it again." He added, standing up and stretching. 

"Have fun son. Oh and my lovely daughters. Make sure you enjoy your time together. Any time spent with family is precious beyond comparison. I don't think I need to explain it. But my husband and I are the only exceptions. Others will no longer be brought back to life. So do whatever is needed to enjoy yourselves." Liang Yu said with a smile. And turned to see the young looking children and waved them over. 

While the children Lei Jin had with him at the moment were by no means young, they were either powerful Artifact Spirits or immortal incarnations of the 2 heavenly forces and 5 earthly elements. The way they age is completely different from others. It would be fair to say that they would grow and mature to a certain point before stopping entirely. Thus remaining cute children forever, perfect for an overly doting grandmother.
