Primordial Harem System

"Hehe, I will ask them later when I meet up with them." Shen Yuxin softly giggled and said.

They soon entered the bedroom and lay down on the bed.

"So, how was the competition?" She gently asked while lying beside him.

Shen Yuan turned around a little and pulled her into a hug before saying, "Haha it was fun, I enjoyed thrashing those morons from the Ironwood Mountain Sect."

"As long as you had fun." She gently smiled.

"But that Lei Ming... something was off about him." He frowned as he mentioned him.

Shen Yuxin slightly raised her head and looked at him, "Hmm? That Thunder Cloud Sect disciple? What was wrong with him?"

He paused and thought for a moment before lightly asking, "Mom, do you know about beings who look like they came straight out of the Abyss?"

Shen Yuxin's eyes turned serious as she looked at him, "Where did you see one?"

Shen Yuan looked at her for a second before saying, "I met one during the Mystique Realm Trial, there was a crack in the Mystique Realm that led straight to the Abyssal Being. There I met with it."

She thought for a second before softly muttering, "Abyssal beings... so were the legends true? Are they coming back for an Epoch War?"

"Hmm? What are you talking about, Mom?" He asked as he felt his curiosity increasing at her words.

She raised her head and looked straight into his eyes, hesitation clear in her gaze as she struggled with whether to tell him about this or not.

In the end, she sighed and said, "In my hometown, there are various rumors about these so-called Abyssal Beings, but all the legends are mere fairytales as there is no proof of them. Some say they are the eternal scourge of existence, while others say they are hellish monsters released from hell to rain down destruction upon the myriad worlds."

"But one thing is certain, their return is not something we should be happy about." Shen Yuxin said with a serious expression on her face.

Shen Yuan frowned his eyebrows as the situation seemed to be more serious than he had expected.

"Are you scared, Yuan'er?" She softly asked.

He raised an eyebrow, "Scared? No, not at all. In fact, I'm feeling excited, finally, there will be worthy opponents for me to face."

"Haha good, that's my son." Shen Yuxin giggled softly while ruffling his hair.

Shen Yuan smiled, but deep within, he began thinking of making plans for the return of the Abyssal Beings.

"Oh yeah, I forgot to tell you, but I'll be going away for some days, I need to give this information to my hometown as well so they can start the preparations." She said.

"Hmm? Well, that's good as well, better to start making preparations early." He nodded his head.

"Sigh, and here I was thinking of taking you to the Asura Bloodlands for training." She sighed as if she suffered a great loss.

Shen Yuan felt his eye twitching at the mention of the Asura Bloodlands.

He had heard of this name before—a desolate, cursed land soaked in the blood of countless cultivators who had waged war there.

This war-torn area is where the most brutal battles of the continent take place. Divided into four tiers—Outer Layer, Inner Layer, Core Layer, Asura Hell—each layer being increasingly harder to traverse as the Blood Miasma becomes denser and the curse of the Asura takes hold of cultivators.

The thought of training there didn't scare him, but it definitely wasn't how he envisioned his next step in cultivation.

"Mom," he began, exhaling softly, "why do I get the feeling you enjoy watching me suffer?"

Shen Yuxin softly giggled, her sapphire eyes sparkling with amusement. "What kind of mother would I be if I didn't prepare my son for the worst? You think the Abyssal Beings will take it easy on you?"

"Probably not," Shen Yuan admitted with a wry smile on his face, "but still, you could've started me off with something a little less... murderous. Like the Draconic Venom Marsh. That place can help me build my poison immunity, and I might even find the Inheritance of the Poison Dragon that fell there."

"Hmm, you can go to the Void Burning Volcano Zone to look for the Inheritance of the Golden Crows." Shen Yuxin lightly suggested.

He shook his head, leaning back into the pillows and pulling her closer. "You've got a twisted sense of parenting, you know that?"

"Mm, maybe," she replied, resting her head against his chest. "But I know you'll come back stronger than ever, no matter what challenges are thrown at you."

He gently placed a kiss on her forehead before softly muttering, "Goodnight, Mom."

She smiled at him, her heart swelling with affection. "Goodnight, Yuan'er," she whispered.

In the quiet of the room, with the faint glow of moonlight filtering through the window, mother and son drifted off to sleep peacefully.

...

The moon went down as the sun rose high in the sky, Shen Yuan's eyes fluttered open as he saw Shen Yuxin peacefully sleeping beside him.

As if sensing his gaze, she slowly opened her eyes, slowly raising her head as she looked into Shen Yuan's eyes, "Good morning, Yuan'er."

"Good morning, Mom." Shen Yuan smiled softly and said.

She sat up slowly, stretching gracefully as the morning sunlight fell on her beautiful figure, casting a golden glow on her white hair, "Mmm~ It's already morning, time really passes faster when I'm with you."

Shen Yuan stared at her with mesmerized eyes, but he soon snapped out of his thoughts and said with a soft smile, "I feel the same, otherwise I'm mostly bored."

Shen Yuxin reached for his hand, her expression growing serious. "I'll be leaving today to return to my hometown. The news about the Abyss needs to be delivered immediately."

He nodded, his expression turning serious as well. "The Abyssal Beings won't stay idle for long. It's better for the major clans to prepare. Are you sure you'll be all right traveling alone?"

Her lips curled into a confident smirk. "Do you really think anyone in this Continent can harm me? Besides, I'll use one of my personal teleportation arrays. It'll be a quick journey."

Shen Yuan relaxed slightly, though a part of him still felt uneasy about her going alone. "All right, but let me know if anything happens."

She leaned forward, pressing a soft kiss to his forehead. "I will. And you, stay safe. Don't push yourself too hard in the Dual Cultivation Pagoda. The Void Transversing Art isn't something that can be learned overnight."

"Don't worry so much, I will take care of myself while practicing it, I'm not a kid anymore." he reassured her, though his eyes sparkled with excitement as he thought of finally mastering a space technique.

Shen Yuxin stood up from the bed, her movements as graceful as ever.

She dressed quickly, her robes flowing around her like water.

Before leaving, she turned to him one last time. "Hehe, If you find some more fitting partners for yourself then you have my permission to take them before someone else beats you to the game."
