Chapter 546. Returning to Her Roots.
Liu Shu’s Avatar sat on her bed, holding her swollen stomach while resting dazedly and looking at the walls of her . On her other arm, Liu Shu held a few-month-old Sanguine Blaze and fed it. As her hand gently caressed her belly and patted the back of her baby, Liu Shu’s mind recreated what had happened a few days ago.
’...’
Even while recalling, there was not a single thought in her mind. She was just running the basic processes in her head, but the rest was just dazed. While staring forward, a pair of arms gathered her in a firm yet soft embrace. Liu Shu looked up with her amethyst-colored eyes. "Oh... It’s Tempestria."
Tempestria sighed softly at the stiff tone. "Liu Shu. Hiding yourself won’t do anything. I know you are in a bit of a shock because you are angry, but—"
"Oh." Liu Shu shook her head and leaned on Tempestria’s shoulder, careful to position her swollen belly and child so that they weren’t uncomfortable. "I am no longer angry. I was no longer angry the second I realized what I did."

"I see." Tempestria separated a bit and looked down at Liu Shu, smiling. "Even if you want to be a tree, we and the others don’t intend to stop bothering you. So, you’d better prepare to be a tree with wives."
Liu Shu’s eyes shone with faint laughter. "Good luck exploring my cave. Now that I am over 6,000 meters tall, my real... lower entrance is a moist cave around 600 meters deep that leads into this ."
Tempestria’s lips twitched. "Honestly, at this pace, you will remain a virgin with your main body forever."
Liu Shu’s eyes widened in shock. "T-That... Huh?"
Tempestria grinned. "Eternal Virgin Tianlian Liu Shu. Won’t that become a
