"L-Let me get this straight... You impregnated an NPC in the game?" Meixiu asked again just in case.
"That’s what she told me," Yuan responded in a calm voice, not thinking too much about it.
"Heavens..." Meixiu mumbled in a dazed voice. She cannot imagine how Yu Rou would react once she learns of this.
’Perhaps it would be better if I don’t tell her... for her own sake...’ Meixiu thought to herself.
After a moment of silence, she said, "Yuan... I know the Yu Family didn’t teach you this, but you really shouldn’t impregnate women so easily, especially if you just met them."
"I know that, but these people are really nice, and I really wanted to help them," Yuan said.
"Let’s continue this talk after this. My mother will kill me if you catch a cold because I didn’t take care of you properly."
"Okay."
Thus, Meixiu continued to clean Yuan’s body, but her heart felt heavier than usual, almost like there were invisible chains weighing it down.
’It’s just an NPC so it should be fine... And it’s only a game...’ Meixiu thought to herself as she moved her hands to the thing between Yuan’s legs.
’Making babies, huh? I guess it’s about time he learns about these kinds of things...’
Because the Yu Family only cared about his musical talents, they didn’t want anything that wasn’t music-related to enter his brain, and that included common sense for even the basic things in life.
After all, the less common sense Yuan had, the easier it was for them to control him and trick him.
As for things regarding the opposite sex, that never even crossed the Yu Family’s mind. Of course, Yu Rou taught him some common sense, but she wanted Yuan to remain innocent and pure for as long as possible, so she purposefully avoided talking about these kinds of things.
After cleaning Yuan’s body, she brought him back to his room where she dried his body some more and changed his clothes.
"You want to learn how to make babies, right?" Meixiu asked him afterward.
"Yes."
"Well, first and foremost, you need to understand the importance of having babies with another individual. Having a baby isn’t something you can take lightly, Yuan, as it will affect you for the rest of your life. Luckily, it only happened inside the game, but if it was the real world, you will have a lot of responsibility to bear."
"Furthermore, you should only have babies with your significant other— someone you care enough about that you wouldn’t mind spending the rest of your life with them," Meixiu said to him.
Hearing Meixiu’s words, Yuan suddenly spoke, "So someone like you?"
"Eh?"
Meixiu was at a loss for words after hearing Yuan’s words that took her completely by surprise and also made her body shiver.
And Yuan suddenly continued, "I wouldn’t mind spending the rest of my life with you, Meixiu. Does this make you my significant other?"
"W-Well... N-Not exactly..." Meixiu responded in a trembling voice.
"Having a significant other requires an agreement between two people that want to be with each other. You cannot just call someone your significant other because you want to be with them." Meixiu explained to him.
"I see..." Yuan mumbled.
"Anyways, now that you know not to have a baby with every female you meet, let’s talk about the process of making babies."
After taking a deep breath, Meixiu continued, "In order to make babies, a man needs to connect bodies with a female, or more specifically, use the thing between their legs to connect with the female’s body."
"What! You can use that thing to make babies?! I thought it was only for peeing!" Yuan exclaimed in a truly surprised tone after learning this revelation.
"It’s actually a little more complicated than that, but yes, that’s the gist of it... And such an act is called... having sex..." Meixiu said, somehow managing to keep a straight face as she educated Yuan on this kind of topic.
"Anyways, this is the basics of having babies. Do you have any questions?" Meixiu said to him.
"This is just the basics? Heavens, I never knew it would be so complicated." Yuan mumbled.
And he continued, "Thank you for telling me, Meixiu. I have learned a lot today, and it’s just the beginning of the day."
"Don’t mention it... You would’ve learned it sooner or later even without me, anyway." Meixiu said.
Sometime later, Meixiu returned to her room after helping Yuan enter the game.
’He doesn’t mind spending the rest of his life with me, huh?’
A warm smile appeared on Meixiu’s beautiful face as she placed the helmet on her head.
After entering the game, Meixiu looked at Feng Yuxiang and spoke to her, "Feng Feng, I have a question."
"What is it?"
"How do Divine Beasts make babies? And can they really mate with humans?" Meixiu asked her, as this has been on her mind ever since Yuan told her about it.
"W-What? Why are you asking me such questions?" Feng Yuxiang looked at her with wide eyes.
"I’m... I’m just curious..." Meixiu said.
"Well... Different species have different methods of mating with each other, but in general, most Divine Beasts only require blood and spiritual energy to conceive a child." Feng Yuxiang said a moment later.
"Is this the same with humans?"
Feng Yuxiang nodded, "That’s right. Divine Beasts can indeed mate with humans, but such a situation is very rare since most Divine Beasts see humans as inferior beings."
After a moment of silence, Meixiu continued to ask, "What happens if a human and a Divine Beast mate with each other like humans do— by having sex? Can they conceive that way?"
Feng Yuxiang’s jaw dropped after hearing Meixiu’s question. Why was she asking such weird questions? Is this related to the Young Master?
"If a human and Divine Beast have... ahem... sex... It’s usually only for pleasure, as it’s more efficient to mate using blood and spiritual energy since it’s always almost guaranteed to impregnate them." Feng Yuxiang said to her.
"I see..." Meixiu mumbled, realizing that she might have misunderstood Yuan because of his lack of context.
Meanwhile, the others were completely baffled by their conversation that was completely random and out of place.
