Chapter 139 Playing With Fire



Inside a lavishly decorated room, a stunning woman with dark brown hair and dressed in a luxurious red gown sat at a large table. The table's material was exceptionally rare, displaying a unique and durable appearance that set it apart from ordinary wood.

Carefully examining some paperwork, she signed each document with a feather pen, but her face displayed clear irritation as she worked through the pile. It was evident that she struggled to keep her composure, fighting the urge to set fire to the stack of papers before her.

"When will these damn things ever end?! I've been doing the same thing over and over for hours... All I want is to relax and enjoy a sip of fine wine... Sigh!"

Had Yuan and his wives been present, they would have recognized her despite her transformed appearance. The changes were significant, making it difficult to recognize her at first glance, but their superior senses and divine awareness would not be so easily deceived.

The woman was none other than Mireya, the receptionist of the hunter association back in Clover Town.

"I can't slack off now, only a few more documents to go. I'll finish it in no time!" She muttered to herself, pushing herself to continue signing and checking each document for errors.

After a while, Mireya finally completed signing all the necessary documents for the next steps. Inhaling a long breath, she sighed in relief. 

"Finally, I've conquered this goddamn pile of nonsense. I thought I'd be buried by them... Now, I can finally relax." She stretched her arms, setting the pen down on its stand.

However, just as she prepared to enjoy her moment of relaxation, the door swung open, revealing a beautiful woman with a slender, alluring figure, long blond hair, and striking crystal blue eyes. The most remarkable feature about her was her long, pointy ears, a clear sign that she was a high elf—an esteemed race known for their lengthy lifespans, second only to dragons.

Naturally, it was not hard to guess that the woman entering the room was a high elf, given her appearance and grace. A race superior to humans, both in lifespan and various abilities.

Mireya raised an eyebrow as she noticed Sylvia entering her office without permission. "Sylvia, you're being rude by barging in like this," she said with a frown.

"Leader, please pardon my rudeness, but I've heard a rumor I thought you would be interested in," Sylvia bowed.

Mireya looked at Sylvia for a moment and shook her head before saying, "Fine, I'll let it slide this time, but only if the news you've brought interests me. If not, then be prepared for a thousand squats as punishment for your repeated mistakes."

Upon hearing the punishment, Sylvia's eyes widened in disbelief. 

"A thousand squats? Isn't that too much for a small mistake? You're being cruel, Leader." she protested.

"Am I being cruel? How many times have you made the same mistake, Sylvia? It's the best punishment for your repeated carelessness, and I won't change it," Mireya replied firmly.

Sylvia became silent, unable to count how many times she had repeated the same mistake. Feeling ashamed, she lowered her face.

Mireya sighed and decided to let it go. "Let's forget about it. Now, tell me about the news you've brought."

*cough* 

Sylvia cleared her throat and proceeded to tell Mireya everything she had heard in the town. 

"It was like this when I was coming here, almost everyone is talking about it..." She spoke about the mysterious individuals with god-like abilities who defied conventional magic and managed to slay the menacing wyvern that had threatened the Pinebrook village.

Mireya listened attentively to every word, finding the news intriguing. A smile slowly crept onto her face as she absorbed Sylvia's account.

After Sylvia finished relaying everything she had heard from the hunters and merchants in the city, Mireya pondered for a moment, lost in thought.

"Six people with extraordinary abilities? Flying in the sky without wings? And they easily killed the wyvern? Who could these individuals be?" Mireya wondered aloud.

Suddenly, her eyes widened, as if she had an important realization. 

'Wait a minute... Six people with unique abilities... It must be...' Mireya's expression changed as she realized who these mysterious individuals could be. There was only one group that came to her mind—Yuan and his wives.

"It has to be them! I'm sure of it. Who else could have such power? They must be at the Pinebrook village right now," Mireya concluded inwardly.

After discovering the identities of the mysterious individuals, Mireya couldn't help but let out a sweet smile.

'So, they can even fly in the sky, huh? I wonder what it feels like to fly...' Mireya thought with a smile on her face.

Sylvia noticed the smile on Mireya's face and was puzzled. 'Does the Leader know who those mysterious people are? But how is that possible? The whole kingdom is searching for any information regarding them and couldn't find any hint on who they are and what their names are...?' Sylvia wondered, staring strangely at Mireya.

Unable to contain her curiosity, Sylvia finally asked, "Leader, do you perhaps know about those mysterious individuals?"

"Indeed, I know them personally. They are remarkable people," Mireya replied casually, not hiding the fact from Sylvia.

'What?! She really knows about them! But how is that even possible? If people were to know this...' Sylvia's mind was in turmoil, trying to grasp the implications.

After calming herself from the shock, Sylvia continued, "Leader, you must understand that if people find out you know their identities, it could cause a huge commotion. The whole kingdom is searching for them, and if they realize you already know who they are, it will create chaos."I think you should take a look at

Mireya's eyes widened in surprise at the realization that the entire kingdom was searching for Yuan and his wives' identities.

'They must be after their unusual prowess, how greedy! But they don't know that they are playing with fire here. Knowing Yuan and his wives' personalities, they won't bow down to anyone. The kingdom is just wasting their time and luck,' Mireya thought inwardly.

With a calm demeanor, Mireya replied to Sylvia, "Oh, that's pretty simple, you know? We just need to keep our mouths shut and act as though we don't know anything."

If they kept quiet about the matter, no one would know anything, and it would help Yuan and his wives avoid unwanted attention. However, Mireya knew that their identities might eventually be revealed.

"I see... Leader, can you tell me more about them since you seem to be pretty close with them..." Sylvia couldn't contain her curiosity and excitement about knowing more.

"There's no need for me to tell you about their identities, as you will personally get to know them in the future," Mireya said with a mysterious smile.

Though disappointed, Sylvia had no choice but to accept Mireya's response. She nodded her head, realizing that she would have to wait.

"Now head back to your work; you've wasted enough time here already," Mireya instructed Sylvia.

"Understood, Leader." Sylvia nodded and left the room shortly.

"I can't wait to see their surprised faces when they see me here, hehehe," Mireya chuckled to herself, looking forward to the day when Yuan and his wives would discover her true identity.

Meanwhile, in the afternoon, Yuan stirred from his deep slumber, his sharp senses detecting some noises in the room. As a spirit master realm cultivator, it wasn't surprising that he woke up upon hearing the slightest sounds.

Opening his eyes, he found Anna, Grace, Lily, Emma, and Xi Meili changing their clothes. Grace and Lily were undressing their nightgowns to put on regular dresses, revealing their perfect and delicate curves that made Yuan's heart race.

Noticing his awakening, the girls turned towards him, and Anna greeted him with a smile, "Good morning, dear. Or should I say good afternoon? Did we wake you up?"

"No, I woke up naturally," Yuan replied, trying to sound casual.

"I see," Anna said with a motherly smile.

"By the way, why didn't you wake me up when you all were already awake?" Yuan asked, curious.

"We thought you looked cute sleeping peacefully, so we decided to let you rest a bit longer," Grace replied playfully.

Yuan chuckled and corrected, "I'm not cute, but handsome."

Yuan smiled and immediately pulled Grace into his embrace, passionately kissing her beautiful, juicy lips.

"God... You two are so lewd; when will you stop acting like animals in heat, Grace? He has just woken up and has yet to wash his face." Anna's voice resounded, sounding a bit annoyed at Grace's behavior and also slightly jealous. 

Grace ignored Anna, as she was unable to resist the urge, and continued to kiss Yuan passionately, wrapping her arms around his neck as they embraced the tender moment.

A few minutes later, they broke the kiss, and Grace turned to Anna with a teasing smile on her lips. 

"Oh, it seems that I made you jealous, Anna. Why don't you also kiss him if you're feeling jealous about me kissing him first?" Her voice was nonchalant, as though kissing Yuan was a normal thing for her, which it truly was.

Anna's face flushed slightly, taken aback by Grace's audacity.

"Grace, you really know how to push my buttons," she huffed, trying to regain her composure.

Emma and Xi Meili giggled at the playful banter between their mothers, enjoying the lively atmosphere. 

Yuan, on the other hand, had a mischievous glint in his eyes as he gazed at his mother Anna. 

"Well, it's only fair, Mom Anna. If Mom Grace got a kiss, then you should get one too," he said, teasingly.

Anna's cheeks turned an even deeper shade of pink as she hesitated for a moment, but she couldn't resist the playful challenge. With a hint of determination, she stepped closer to Yuan and planted a gentle kiss on his lips, causing his heart to skip a beat.

Lily, who had been watching the exchange quietly, couldn't help but join in the fun.

"Hey, don't leave me out!" she chimed in with a grin, approaching Yuan and giving him a quick peck on his lips.
