While Anna and Emma were having a conversation about Grace and Lily, Yuan finished fixing his messy hair and approached them. Arriving before his mother Anna and his beloveds Emma and Xi Meili, Yuan looked at them with a pondering gaze, seemingly lost in thought about the whole situation.
Despite Anna telling him to accept Ava and Julie and being fine with it, Yuan still felt unease in his heart for deciding to accept the two sisters alongside Rose, whom he was deeply attracted to. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he had fallen in love with her, even though he had otherworldly beauties by his side.
There was something special he felt about Rose, a feeling he had only experienced for his two mothers, Anna and Grace, his elder sister Lily, and his two beloveds Emma and Xi Meili.
However, he didn't feel the same way towards Ava and Julie. They were like a bonus offer at a supermarket, something like "buy one get two free."
While he had no romantic feelings for them, he accepted them to avoid the possibility of them feeling rejected and experiencing grief. Anna understood this, knowing the potential consequences if they were to be rejected.
A moment later, Yuan turned to the three of them and asked, "Mom, Emma, and Xi Meili, I know it's late, but what do you think? Did I make a good choice by accepting Ava and Julie alongside Rose, even though I don't have any feelings for them?"
"As I mentioned earlier, those two girls have fallen deeply for you, dear. It will be incredibly difficult for them to forget about you, even if they try their hardest. It might sound a bit exaggerated, but I would say it's nearly impossible for them to forget about you, dear," Anna replied with a smile.
"And how do you know that they're so in love with me, Mom...?" Yuan asked in a puzzled manner.
He hadn't had as many conversations with Ava and Julie as he had with the others, so he wondered how his mother Anna could be so certain about their feelings.
"Hahaha, it's not that hard to guess, dear... You could say it's a women's—" Anna was about to finish her sentence, but Yuan interrupted her.
"A women's intuition...?" Yuan frowned, trying to understand what his mother meant.
"Hehehe, you could say that..." Anna nodded with a smile.
'Women are really tough to understand, much less guess what they were thinking... Can't they be more straightforward, just for once?' Yuan silently thought.
A minute later, Anna continued, "And about your question of whether you made the right choice or not in accepting Ava and Julie as your future brides, well, you did make the right choice. You may not have any romantic feelings for them yet, but they have feelings for you. I am sure that if you spend some time with them, you will eventually develop some feelings for them as well. In any case, I fully support you with whatever decision you make."
"I see..." Yuan nodded, feeling relieved and less guilty in his heart after hearing his mother's answer.
Anna then turned to Emma and asked, "What about you, Emma? What do you think?"
"Naturally," Emma agreed with Anna's assessment. "As far as I can see, those two girls really like Yuan, probably so much so that they are willing to die for him. However, unlike Rose, who is very shy about expressing her true feelings, they are quite bold, especially Julie. They kissed Yuan in front of their mother, brother, and many servants, without any shame."
"Indeed! They were quite bold to kiss my dear in front of so many people," Anna nodded, sharing the same thought as Emma.
Xi Meili suddenly spoke up with an innocent voice and a puzzled expression. "Is there something wrong with kissing hubby?" she asked.
"No, there's nothing wrong with kissing, but they did it in front of their mother, brother, and many other people, without thinking it through, which isn't appropriate at all. So, Meili dear, remember not to kiss Yuan in public, okay?" Anna explained to her.
"I will remember that," Xi Meili nodded. Despite having the memories of her ancestors, she was still unaware of many common sense things that were considered common knowledge. It was understandable since she was not even a month old.
A moment later, Emma smiled and said, "I guess they were so eager to kiss Yuan that they couldn't hold themselves back once Yuan agreed to their mother's proposal of accepting them as his future wives. And I don't think it's entirely their fault. After all, Yuan is quite handsome, and it's hard for an average girl to resist."
"I-I suppose you're right, and it sounds quite plausible too," Anna agreed with a smile.
Yuan was undeniably handsome, and it was understandable that many average women would find it difficult to resist him. They didn't dare to approach him because he was surrounded by heavenly beauties who were on a completely different level. With such beauties by his side, why would he even pay attention to them?
Yuan was speechless, feeling a mix of disbelief and slight annoyance. How could they blame him for being handsome? It wasn't his fault that he was born with such a face. Besides, they should feel proud that he was so attractive.
"Are you guys blaming me for their aggressive behavior?" Yuan asked with a frown.
"Hehehe!"I think you should take a look at
Seeing his reaction, Anna and Emma both giggled, finding his reaction amusing.
"We're not blaming you, dear, for being such a handsome boy. But at the same time, I have to agree with Emma here. You're so handsome that most women would find it difficult to resist your overall charm, if they are not cultivators like us," Anna explained with a smile.
"Hmph, they are just mere mortals. How could they resist the charm of my hubby?" Xi Meili proudly mumbled.
"Dear, I suggest that we should delay our stay here for a few more days since we're not in a hurry to reach the capital city of this windfall kingdom. We can try to get close and spend as much time as possible with those two poor girls and Rose. It will deepen your relationship with them," Anna proposed.
'Mom is right. We should delay our stay here for a while. It will be a great opportunity to get closer to them. Besides, we're not on a mission to defeat the demon king and save the world, so there's no need to rush to the capital.' Yuan thought to himself.
"Alright, we'll stay here a bit longer," Yuan agreed.
However, at that moment, the bathroom door opened, and Grace and Lily entered the bedroom wearing towels, their bodies still glistening from the water. Their long silky hair added to their attractiveness.
"Gulp!" Yuan nervously swallowed his saliva as his gaze fell upon Grace and Lily's alluring forms. He could feel his blood rushing and his heart beating faster.
Noticing Yuan's burning gaze, Grace smiled seductively and asked, "What is it, darling? What were you guys talking about?"
"Won't you also fill us in?" Lily smiled at Yuan and then turned to Anna, saying, "By the way, Mom, the bathroom is free to use. You guys can go in."
"Alright," Anna nodded and turned to Xi Meili. "Meili dear, come with me. I will help you wash your back."
Xi Meili nodded in response and followed Anna to the bathroom shortly after.
A moment later, after Anna and Xi Meili entered the bathroom to clean themselves, Grace looked at Yuan as she took out a fresh set of clothes from her spatial ring. She asked, "By the way, darling, you didn't say what you were talking about earlier."
"Oh, we were just discussing me accepting Ava and Julie as my future wives. I was wondering if I made the right decision by accepting them alongside Rose," Yuan explained while shaking his head.
"I see no reason to think about it too much," Grace said nonchalantly as she started dressing up.
"I also don't see any point in having a conversation about it," Lily chimed in, listening to their discussion.
"Well, you see..." Yuan began to explain the details of his conversation with Anna, Emma, and Xi Meili, and it didn't take much time to explain everything to them.
After Grace understood the whole situation, she said to him, "I see now... If you want my opinion, I'd say you did a great job by accepting them into our family. They may be bold, but they seem to love you, and that's enough for you to accept them. As for your feelings, they can develop over time."
"I also think the same as Mom, Little Yuan," Lily added with a smile.
"I see... It seems I was thinking too much for no reason," Yuan admitted after considering their perspectives.
A few moments later, Grace and Lily finished changing into their fresh set of clothes and tied their hair into a bun. They looked stunning like this, resembling beautiful housewives that Yuan couldn't take his eyes off.
'They look absolutely stunning. If I weren't so exhausted from fighting on the battlefield, I'd probably pounce on them right now...' Yuan thought inwardly with a sigh.
After using the new technique, Heavenly Sanctuary, and the Empyreal Severing Sword Strike on the battlefield, Yuan was thoroughly exhausted. On top of that, he had used the Empyreal Severing Sword Strike twice, which consumed almost half of his spiritual energy. He was currently low in spiritual energy.
A moment later, Grace smiled at him, kissed him on the cheek, and said, "Darling, I know you're feeling exhausted right now, so I won't trouble you today."
Yuan smiled warmly at her, appreciating her concern for his well-being.
