"Yiren, are you okay? You are panting."
The girls were all sitting on the same bed so they quickly noticed something was wrong with her. When Lisa saw Yiren's flushed cheeks, she couldn't help but sigh, knowing exactly what was going on.
"It must be Xuefeng," Lisa pointed out, causing everyone to understand.
"I'm good. It's not as intense this time," Yiren assured as she smiled, picking up another Upgrade Fragment. "I can continue just fine."
"Damn, we are here training and Xuefeng is having fun without us?" Nuwa cursed as she crushed a used Upgrade Fragment. "Who do you think he is with now? Xinyu or Miss Golden?"
"It must be Xinyu. He wouldn't risk our lives by getting with Miss Golden," Tianshi guessed immediately. "Even if she straight up confessed to him, I'm sure he would reject her."
"That's true. He is a very logical person," Nuwa agreed. "But he also has a huge responsibility instinct. If he does something with a woman, he usually feels the need to take care of her. Xinyu joining us is already a done deal."
"Well, we should be blamed for that since we pushed her onto him," Tianshi pointed out. "Now that she got the taste of Xuefeng, she will act on her own to get even more of him."
"This is why we love him though," Yiren noted. "If he wasn't as caring and loving as he is, maybe some of us wouldn't end up with hi— Ah…"
A moan paused her speech before she informed everyone, "It seems they already finished."
Nuwa rubbed her hands together.
"Let's see what will be his excuse this time."
———
Hu… Hu…
Xuefeng breathed out deeply as he hugged Xinyu in his arms, still tightly connected with her. Although the session was short, it was very intense. Xinyu didn't seem to mind his pace at all so he just went for it.
"I now understand why the girls love to Dual Cultivate with you…" Xinyu muttered as she held his face, caressing it with her thumb. "Not only can you improve our cultivation but it also feels amazing…"
"Usually it would take me much longer to finish, but I guess I was already in the good mood," Xuefeng commented as he placed Xinyu's leg down. "Are you okay?"
Her whole body was still shivering when she gasped, "Ah! I don't know how can your wives survive such assault. I'm barely standing already…"
"Well, we trained a lot…" Xuefeng replied casually and pulled away while holding her up. "I think you should lay down."
"Don't worry, I will be fine," Xinyu assured as she looked down at their bodies. "We should clean ourselves."
She lifted the towel from the floor and began cleaning them both.
"There, now you are clean, but you should probably take a shower once you reach your room," Xinyu suggested before throwing a flirtatious glance at him. "Unless you want to use mine?"
"I'm fine for now," Xuefeng rejected tactfully and picked her up, carrying her to the bed. "Also, make sure you absorb everything."
He was sure he will get interrogated once he returns back to his wives so he didn't want to drag it too much.
"Yes! I will," Xinyu nodded firmly while looking up to him when they heard knocking to the door.
"Mia!" Xinyu called out as her servant entered the room.
"Miss Xinyu, it's time to ea—" Mia said without waiting for Xinyu's call but froze when she saw Xuefeng. "Oh! I'm sorry. I will take my leave."
"No, no, I'm leaving already. You can stay," Xuefeng called out after her, planning on leaving when Xinyu grabbed him by the wrist. "Can I have a kiss for goodbye?"
He gazed back at her and simply leaned over to kiss her without much worry. They already pushed the highest limits possible so a kiss wasn't too much of an issue.
"I'm going," Xuefeng said softly as he pinched her cheek. "Let's talk more later."
He waited for her to nod and left the room, leaving the two alone. His wives were just a few rooms away, making him sigh. They were the ones who pushed Xinyu onto him which lead to such a situation.
'Okay, who am I lying to. If I didn't want anything, no one would force me…' Xuefeng muttered, noticing his involvement.
He took a deep breath as he stopped before his room and entered inside. To his surprise, all girls were busy cultivating with their eyes closed. He expected to meet them waiting for him by the doors with their eyes glaring but that worked for him as well.
He walked in soundlessly to not disturb them and approached Yiren from behind, hugging her.
"I'm sorry," Xuefeng whispered, knowing not only was he late but she definitely felt everything. "I'm back."
"Mhmm…" Yiren reacted by reaching up to hold his face. "Welcome back."
He kissed her as a greeting and rubbed Lisa's thigh. Those two were the ones who lacked his attention the most so he wanted to give the more.
"Did you have fun?" Nuwa asked and suddenly everyone opened their eyes, gazing at him.
"I can explain," Xuefeng replied, already waiting for such a reaction. Xuefeng laid his head on Lisa's lap and began narrating everything that happened.
As Xuefeng didn't have any secrets between them, he didn't hide any details about Xinyu or even involving Golden Queen's confession.
"You handled it well, but I'm still worried about her change. Wasn't she so in love with her husband? How come she fell for you now? What did you do to her?" Nuwa questioned irritated. "
"Well, I think Xuefeng was just being Xuefeng," Lisa defended as she played with Xuefeng's hair. "Do you remember if he used any tricks on us? I don't. He won us over by being himself, loving and caring man."
Xuefeng couldn't help but get warmer in his chest.
"Don't worry, I made it clear," Xuefeng assured, pulling the girls into his arms. "Your safety is my top priority.'
He gave everyone a kiss when Nuwa pulled out five cups and casually poured wine for them.
"Our husband is too good, causing every girl to fall for him… I am happy to have you but I also want to lock you in a basement. I can't decide," Nuwa muttered as she gulped down her cup.
The others followed suit, drinking their own cups which made Xuefeng roll his eyes.
"Alright, Yiren and Lisa, it's time for you to tell us about your adventures," Xuefeng suggested. "Where have you been this whole time?"
"We landed in the Blood Land, a place full of blood mist and dead trees," Lisa began as her body shivered. "Yuk, I still remember this bloody water getting into my shoes. I don't want to go back in there."
"Ah, don't listen to her, it wasn't that bad," Yiren defended. "We met a lot of friends on the way that helped us. We even found a village where they treated me as a Goddess. That was when we also found Mona too."
The sleeping Mona looked up when her name got called out.
"Right, Mona, you must be a White Nine-tailed Fox, right?" Xuefeng questioned as he sat up and patted her. "How long would it take you to turn back to your original form?"
"At least a few months," Mona replied cautiously. "Why? Do you plan anything? Is it my human body that you desire?"
"Hey," Xuefeng protested. "I'm not some kind of a pervert. I was just curious."
"I think Xuefeng is curious if your tails remain in your human form," Nuwa pointed out. "It is just for research purposes, right?"
"Exactl— wait, no. Ming told me White Nine-tailed Foxes are extremely rare and powerful. I wanted to experience the extend of her power," Xuefeng explained, almost falling for her trap.
"I can show you my power soon once I recover my second tail," Mona informed as walked up to Xuefeng and sat on his own lap. "And I do, in fact, retain my tails in my human form."
"Mona is truly a beauty," Yiren commented, joining Xuefeng in petting. "A true Fox Goddess."
"I see. I can't wait then," Xuefeng said casually. "What happened next?"
He already promised Mona he will try his best to understand and get to know her but it was hard for him when she was still in her Beast Form. Recalling Bella, he already knew what to expect from a Celestial Beast.
"Wait!" Nuwa suddenly disturbed them as she took out a Communication Crystal. "It's a call from Wu!"
The moment Wu was mentioned, Xuefeng immediately brightened. He wanted to call her for a while but he didn't want to disturb her task.
"Quick, answer!"
He didn't need to remind her as the call already connected.
"Wu! How are you? Is everything alright?" Nuwa questioned warmly but Wu seemed to be in a hurry.
"Nuwa! Do you have Xuefeng next to you? We have an emergency. I just received a call for help from the Dwarf Kingdom. They seem to be under attack and require Trade Union's assistance," Wu called out.
"I'm here," Xuefeng announced his presence. "Is that a big of an issue?"
"It's wouldn't be if not for the fact that we know the attacker," Wu replied hurriedly.
"It's Bella!"
