Chapter 279 The Wolves' Are Here
After hearing the explanation from the villager, Yuan and his wives get a clear view of the current situation of the village. And it appears that the wolves only attack the villagers at night, taking advantage of the darkness.
"Thanks for explaining. We understand the situation now, we may be late but we'll try our best to solve this problem for you." Yuan said to the villager with a reassuring smile on his face.
The girls also nodded at Yuan's words, and seeing this, the villager felt a bit relieved.
Yuan then asked, "By the way, do you perhaps know the location of the wolves' dean?"
"Sadly, we don't know where the wolves' dean is located." The villager replied, shaking his head.
"I see..." Yuan was disappointed by the villager's reply, and asked, "If I may ask, why didn't any of you try to locate the wolves' dean since you all know this area very well."
"Well, it's because we're just ordinary people with little affinity for magic. We lack the necessary strength to protect ourselves from the wolves or any other monsters out there. And attempting to seek their dean is akin to attempting suicide." The villager said with a bittersweet smile on his face.
Everyone in the village is ordinary people, they have no higher aptitude for magic. They only have magic that comes in handy in their daily life, such as housework and cleaning, or preparing the land for farming.
This is one of the reasons why the aristocracy despised the commoners because most commoners have a low aptitude for magic. As a result, the nobles regard themselves as superior to commoners and do not regard them as equals.
In a world where magic is everything and the nobles have the highest affinity and talent towards magic, the commoners could only live a life at the mercy of those nobles with their low affinity and talent towards magic.
The villager then continued, "And since the wolves only came out at night, tracing them back to their dean is impossible."
After hearing the villager's words, Yuan turned to his wives. "It seems that we've no choice but to stay in the village and wait for the wolves' to come out at night."
Since the wolves only come out at night and attack the village, Yuan and his wives have no choice but to stay in the village and wait for the wolves to come out of their den to hunt.
"Alright, we'll stay the night in this village then..." Anna Grace nodded, and the other girls also nodded their heads.
Staying in the village is far better than staying in the open surrounded by wild monsters that could attack them at any moment.
"If you're looking for a place to stay the night then please follow me, I'll take you to the village head's house. He will be more than happy to welcome you to stay the night." The villager said after he overheard their conversation.
"That would be wonderful, please lead the way then." Anna Grace exclaimed with a small smile on her face, and when the village saw the smile he unconsciously blushed a little.
'My mother's charm is too powerful, no man can ignore her beauty.' Yuan sighed inwardly.
"This way please..." The villager then lead them towards the village head's house.
After a few minutes of walking, They arrived at a massive house which is far larger compared to the rest of the house in the village.
The villager turned to see them, and said, "This is our village head's resident. Please wait a moment here, I'll go inform the village head about your arrival."
"Alright." Yuan nodded.
Then the villager entered the house to inform the village head about Yuan and his wives arrival to save them from the wolves.
A few moments later, the villager comes out from the house with an old man.
When the old man saw them, he was dumbfounded seeing a young man surrounded by so many unparalleled beauties at once.
"Welcome to our humble village, I'm the chief of the village, Alden. I'm very thankful to all of you for coming here to save us from the vile pack of wolves." After coming out of his daze the village's chief, Alden, politely introduced himself.
After that, Yuan introduced himself and his wives to the village chief.
And once the introduction was over, Chief Alden said, "You were looking for a place to stay the night right? I'd be more than happy to welcome you to stay at my house, there is only my wife and my son and daughter-in-law in my family."
"In that case, we shall accept the offer," Yuan said with a smile on his face.
"Then please come inside, I'll introduce you all to my family." Chief Alden said before leading them inside the house.
Once they're inside, Chief Alden's family is surprised by Yuan's exceptionally handsome face and the otherworldly beauty of his wives and stares at them seemingly in a daze.
Chief Alden then introduced Yuan and his wives to his family, when his family heard that they were the hunters dispatched by the hunter association to eliminate the wolves, they just couldn't believe it.
How could a handsome young man surrounded by beautiful women be a hunter party? It doesn't make any sense at all.
Furthermore, most of the hunters they've encountered throughout their lives were covered in deep scars which spoke about their numerous near-death battles against strong monsters.
However, that wasn't the case for Yuan and his wives as their skins were even smoother than a newborn baby.
After spending some time talking with Chief Alden's family, Yuan, and his wives went to the room provided by Chief Alden to rest for a while until the night came and wolves appeared in the village.
The Monroe sisters decided to cultivate a bit until the sun went down and night came, they're the ones lacking the most.
They set on a lotus position while Yuan and his other girls relaxed on the bed, and began absorbing the surrounding Qi within the room at a rapid pace, emptying the room within half an hour.
As they continued to cultivate, they attracted the Qi from the surrounding areas as though they were magnets.
Seeing how fast the Monroe sisters are absorbing Qi into their body and refining it before channeling it into their dantian, Yuan and his other wives had a surprised look on their faces.
Sometimes later, Julie and Ava made a breakthrough in their Cultivation and reached the eighth level of Spirit Apprentice.
However, they didn't just stop there. They continued to absorb the Spiritual Energy in the air.
And soon, they reached the verge of a breakthrough once again. And shortly, the air around their body slightly trembled, indicating that they'd reached the ninth level of Spirit Apprentice.
A few seconds later, Rose also reached closer to make a breakthrough to the seventh level of Spirit Warrior.
Whoosh! The air around her body trembled before a small gust of wind picked up inside the room despite all the windows being closed, and a cool sensation spread throughout Rose's body giving her a pleasant feeling.
"Congratulations you three for advancing in your cultivation," Yuan said to them with a proud smile on his face, feeling happy for their breakthrough.n(-O((v--e)(l((b)(1.)n
"Thanks, Husband!" The Monroe sisters responded in unison.
Then Yuan's other women also congratulated their sisters for advancing in their cultivation.
"Mr. Yuan and Mrs. Yuan, please come out! it's an emergency! The wolves are here!"
Suddenly Chief Alden's distressful voice resounded, causing Yuan and his wives to immediately get out of bed.
"Lead the way," Yuan said to Chief Alden after coming out of the room along with his wives.
"This way please..."
Chief Alden hurriedly nodded and immediately led them to where the wolves were attacking the villagers, he didn't want anyone within the village to lose their lives to the wolves.
Once they're outside, Yuan and his wives see people gathered around the Chief's house to save their lives with terrified looks on their faces.
Mothers hugged their children tightly while the males guarded the women and children holding a bamboo rod in their hands.
"Julie, here is your sword and go wild..." Yuan quickly retrieved her sword from his system storage and handed it to her.
"Thanks, hubby." Julie accepted the sword with a smile on her face before shifting her eyes to the wolves that started to appear before them one by one.
And in just a few moments, there were a total of 18 wolves that appeared before them, each of them furiously glaring at them with killing intent radiating from their yellow eyes.
Yuan looked at the wolves for a moment, and said, "Each of them has the strength equivalent to a second-level spirit warrior, and there are multiple of them."
"W-What?! Spirit Warrior?!" Ava swallowed nervously, learning the wolves' strength.
"Julie, be careful they're quite strong," Rose warned her sister, as she didn't want something bad to happen to her sister.
