Seeing Yuan nodding his head with a gentle smile on his face, the Monroe sisters’ faces bloomed into delighted smiles.
“For a moment, I thought I was going to get rejected! But thank God you accepted me, even though I’m not as beautiful as your other wives…” Julie said with a big smile on her face as a tear of joy escaped her eyes.
“I’m also very happy that you have accepted me as your future wife, Mr. Yuan,” Ava said with a bright smile on her rosy face.
A minute later, the two sisters immediately approached him with big smiles on their faces. They hugged him on each side, with Ava on the left and Julie on the right.
As the two sisters embraced Yuan, their future husband, they felt warmth in their hearts that they had never felt before. It was a foreign feeling, making them feel safe and protected around him.
‘It feels so warm… As if I’m being protected. Does hugging a man always feel like this…?’ They thought inwardly.
A minute later, the two sisters looked at Yuan’s handsome face for a moment before bringing their faces closer to him at the same time. They gently pressed their lips on his cheeks, kissing him on the cheeks.
They stopped kissing Yuan after a minute, their faces turning rosy. Feeling embarrassed about the whole thing, they buried their faces in his chest.
‘I didn’t expect them to be this bold to kiss me in front of their mother and brother… Thank God their father is extremely ill and can’t leave his bed, or he would’ve died instantly upon seeing his beloved daughter’s action with his own eyes…’ Yuan thought inwardly.
However, Yuan didn’t stop them from keeping hugging him; since he had already accepted their mother’s proposal to accept them as his wives, it would be inappropriate of him to stop his future wives from hugging him.
Furthermore, as a matter of fact, Yuan quite likes the sensation of being hugged by two beauties at the same time, despite being hugged all the time by his two mothers or his other wives.
“Eh?” Rose, who was standing beside her mother Layla, was shocked to see her two sisters way ahead of her, already kissing Yuan. Even though it was a normal kiss, it still caught her off guard.
‘H-How could they do something so shameless before everyone else? Aren’t they feeling the least bit of shame?… If this continues, I will be left behind by far by those two…’ Rose cried inwardly.
Meanwhile, Yuan’s two mothers, Anna and Grace, his elder sister, Lily, and his beloved, Emma, only smiled at their childish behavior. As for Xi Meili, she was just staring at the two sisters clinging to her hubby with a smile on her face.
“They look really happy to hug our darling now that he has accepted them as his wives,” Grace said with a smile on her face.
“Indeed! I was really surprised at first when Madam Layla suddenly announced that she would offer her daughters to him just because we saved this village. I was furious at her for treating her daughters as bargaining chips… But now I see why she offered her daughters to him,” Anna said with a smile, seemingly lost in thought.
“I thought it would only be Rose, but I didn’t expect this outcome! As expected of my little brother, no one can escape his charm,” Lily said proudly, while Emma nodded in agreement.
As Xi Meili possessed the memories of her ancestors, seeing Yuan embracing other women besides his wives was nothing new to her. She was aware that in the most royal harems, the stronger the male, the more partners he had. And she knew that Yuan would definitely become strong in the future, strong enough to shake the Nine Heavens and bring chaos to the world.
At this moment, Madam Layla was smiling ear to ear, looking at her two daughters hugging Yuan with intimacy. .𝒐𝙧𝒈
‘They are fast learners… I’m proud of you, my girls! You didn’t let me down one bit…’ Madam Layla thought inwardly with a delighted smile on her face.
However, her eyes landed on Rose, who was standing beside her, and she sighed. She thought to herself, ‘If only Rose were more like her younger sisters… Despite being older than Yuan, they have surely surpassed Rose in some aspects of life… If she continues to act so shy, she will be left behind by her younger sisters.’
A moment later, Madam Layla said to Rose, “Rose, why don’t you join your sisters and give a warm hug to your future husband? If you continue to be shy like this, you will be left behind by your younger sisters…”
“Mom…?” Rose mumbled in a low voice, feeling embarrassed as her face turned completely rosy.
‘This daughter of mine… She is way too shy to express her feelings… *Sigh*’ Madam Layla thought inwardly with a sigh.
“What? Don’t tell me you’re feeling embarrassed to hug your future husband? Look at your younger sisters, they are way ahead of you. They don’t seem embarrassed to hug him at all. If they can do it, you can do it too,” Madam Layla said to Rose, causing Yuan and his wives to turn around.
As cultivators with sharp senses, they could hear even the slightest noise in the atmosphere, so they heard very clearly what Madam Layla and Rose were talking about, as if they were saying it in their ears.
A moment later, Yuan then looked at Ava and Julie and said to them, “Would you mind letting go of me for a moment? I don’t want your big sister to feel left out like this.”
“Oh, sorry… We just feel very comfortable hugging you…” Julie said with a rosy face and let go of the hug.
“Same here…” Ava exclaimed, her face also flushed.
‘So they can act cute too…’ Yuan thought inwardly with a smile and approached Rose.
After approaching Rose, Yuan smiled at her and said, “Don’t you want to hug me as well, Rose?”
When Yuan asked her that, Rose blushed and avoided making eye contact with him. Unlike her sisters Ava and Julie, Rose was quite shy, as she had never thought about relationships before and had solely focused on developing the village. With her father being extremely ill and unable to leave his bed, the responsibility for the future of the village had fallen on her shoulders, making her even busier than ever. However, all of that changed when she met Yuan.
Meeting Yuan sparked a newfound interest in Rose, not because of his handsome face, but because of his personality. In the short time they spent together strolling through the village, she began to develop feelings for him. And when he fought against the fearsome Wyvern to save the village, her love for him grew even stronger.
“If I don’t do something now, I’ll truly be left behind by my younger sisters, and it will disappoint Yuan… I don’t want to disappoint him! … I really love him,” Rose thought inwardly.
“What are you waiting for? Go and hug him already!” Madam Layla whispered into Rose’s ear with a playful smile, pushing her towards Yuan.
“Huh?” Suddenly, Rose felt a gentle push from behind and found herself in Yuan’s embrace, surprised by her mother’s actions. She had never expected her mother to do such a thing.
‘How could Mother do this to me? Is she so desperate to have Yuan as her son-in-law that she pushed her own daughter into his arms?’ Rose cried inwardly, unable to believe what had just happened.
‘But… this also feels quite nice… It’s warm and cozy. I’ve never felt like this before. It’s as though I am free from all the burdens and can finally relax,’ she thought as she nestled her head against his chest, displaying a delighted expression.
Yuan smiled and wrapped his arm around her waist, holding her tightly. Rose felt his arm encircling her waist but chose not to stop him since she would soon be his wife anyway.
‘It seems she is starting to enjoy the hug, and her shyness is lessening after hugging me for over a minute,’ Yuan thought inwardly with a smile.
A moment later, Yuan released the hug and said to Rose, “You shouldn’t have hesitated to hug me, you know?”
“But it’s… it’s just embarrassing for me to hug you, even though you’re my future husband… I can’t help it…” Rose mumbled in a low voice, her face blushing.
“Hahaha! What’s there to be embarrassed about hugging your future husband, huh?” Yuan chuckled.
“You won’t understand even if I were to tell you…” Rose mumbled with a shy voice and a rosy face.
“Is that so…? Well, whatever it is, I won’t press you further since you have no intention of telling me,” Yuan said a moment later.
However, with a playful tone, Yuan added, “By the way, aren’t you going to let go of me, or are you planning to stay like this forever?”
