(MC POV)
It seems like the three of them managed to ascend to godhood safely.
A very interesting thing was that Diao Chan's domain had something to do with wishes and since she was wishing very strongly for me to go and… Well… Make love to her… I heard her desire loud and clear too.
That's why I sent a split body of myself over there to see what was going on, which obviously led to that orgy in the end.
After satisfying both Diao Chan and her coven of witches, I dispersed my split body and returned my attention back to my main body again where I was bringing both Cai Hong and Iris to walk around the area outside our Sect today.
The people from the other Sects had already gone back and most of the cleanup was already done, so there's no need to worry about stains around the place from their cultivation activities during the party.
Thus, things were mostly back to normal now except for the people from the country of Sun staying an extra day to, I quote, 'bask a little longer in divinity'.
Well, they weren't really disturbing me so I didn't comment on their presence. Plus, I did send their leader to another World for a vacation so… I'd rather they not go berserk with no one to control them.
Unfortunately, if I was inside the Sect, I realised a few of them would start following me around from a distance and that might creep out Cai Hong, which was why we were outside today.
That still did not stop a few of them from following us out though, but I did tell them that as long as they stayed out of our sight and did not bother us, I won't stop them either.
Better that I know they are there and set boundaries for them to follow than if they sneak around and surprise us later.
For today, we decided to take a stroll in the forest at the foot of our mountain. Partly because I knew this area was safe since Brendan gathers his herbs from here and also because the energy released from my intimate sessions with my disciples made this forest especially beautiful.
This made it the perfect location for my outing with the two girls.
And yes, Iris was in her loli form as well.
"Papa, Papa! Big tree!" Cai Hong squealed, flailing her arms in front of one of the massive trees around that grew thanks to my blessing.
"Daddy, Daddy~ Pretty flower~" Iris giggled, showing me a Phoenix Ember that she casually picked.
They were both cute so I patted them on their heads before we continued our stroll.
We eventually came to a river that flowed down from the mountain and through the forest.
Cai Hong immediately pointed to the river, "Papa! Splash?"
Iris also mimicked her on my other side, "Daddy, splash!"
The water was only knee deep in the deepest part and the river was relatively calm to begin with so it should be safe for them to play in it.
I chuckled, "Alright, alright. Just be careful you two."
The two of them cheered and ran towards the river, leaving their shoes on the river bank before jumping in.
It's easy to forget but these two are literal cosmic beings capable of destroying entire Worlds with a thought and right now, the both of them are having fun splashing around in a river.
I slowly made my way towards them, trying my best to ignore the whispers from our followers behind us.
"This… This tree has Founding God's essence too!"
"This grass too!"
"And even this stick!!"
"Everyone, we're in sacred lands!! This place is a blessed holy land!"
"We must pray and thank Founding God for this blessing!"
"Bless be to our Founding God!!"
Yep… Just ignore whatever that was going on behind me and focus on the two little cosmic beings playing in the river in front of me.
"Papa! Papa! Splashy!" Cai Hong giggled, splashing the water with her hands.
I stepped into the river as well, Xun Guan helping me by retracting herself from my feet so that I could enjoy the cool waters with my bare feet.
Iris then waded up to me with her hands cupped together with water gathered in her palms.
"Daddy, look~"
She showed me what was swimming in her palm and I briefly thought it was just a small fish swimming there.
Then I quickly realised that it was a very small Kun, the fish form of the legendary Peng. They're giant birds that rival the Leviathans in the deep oceans in strength and size and I've honestly never seen one this small before. Were these newborns?
Also… What the hell is one of these doing here?
"Papa, Papa! Lookie!!"
Cai Hong showed me what was in her palm and there were not just another one but at least five of them swimming in the pool of water in there.
What the heck?
I looked down and I realised not only were there schools of Kun which should have been solitary creatures, there were also golden Carps and Koi fishes swimming through our legs casually.
Ok… Yeah, sure. I already knew that legendary herbs were growing down here, what's stopping legendary fishes from breeding and thriving here too?
The next thing you know, legendary animals would also show up-- Is that a Qilin?!
Just when I thought I'd seen it all, a four legged creature I identified as a Qilin came out from between the trees and cantered up towards us.
"Horsey! Horsey!" Cai Hong cheered, lowering the Kun in her palm back into the water before running up to the mythical beast.
The Qilin stood still and allowed Cai Hong to pat it, even lowering itself so that the little dragon could reach it with her shorter stature.
I didn't even know there were Qilins in this particular World, does this one serve the Administrator gods of this World or something?
Just as I was wondering about such a thing, a red haired woman with not even a shred of cloth on her appeared from where the Qilin had come from.
"Where did you go?! Oh! There you are! How many times have I told you not to wander off… Oh…"
Both Iris and I stared at her while Cai hong continued to pat the Qilin, not even noticing the woman's appearance.
I was just about to ask who she was when the woman's face lit up and she started sprinting towards me.
"Massssteeeer!! It's been so long!! I missed youuuuu!" She squealed, leaping towards me and cuddling my chest.
Oh… It's Akari… Didn't she go back with Shiori to the Sanctuary to take care of the other monsters? What's she doing here and in a human form as well?
Also… Could you please put on some clothes?
