Concubine Priscilla entered the room to find her elder sister and husband sipping tea while discussing Vanessa's condition. With a warm smile, she approached them and took a seat beside Empress Selena.
"What's the current situation in the city? Have you arranged accommodations for the guests?" Priscilla asked as she poured herself a cup of tea.
"I've taken care of that," Emperor Philip replied, taking a long sip from his cup. "I assigned the open area near the Administration Office as temporary accommodations for all the guests arriving for the Grand Auction."
"That's a great choice. I was considering suggesting that location myself," Empress Selena added with a smile.
Philip chuckled. "It's close to the Imperial Arena where the auction will be held, so tens of thousands can easily attend. For the prominent figures from across the continent, I've arranged for them to stay in the unoccupied villas in the Noble District. However, many have opted for the Golden Lion Plaza instead. Its reputation for hospitality is unmatched."
"Well, that inn only caters to the wealthy and nobles, so it's no surprise most guests would prefer to stay there," Priscilla said, returning his smile.
After a brief pause, Emperor Philip's expression grew serious. "I've received news that envoys from the Hidden Families will arrive by tomorrow evening. We need to be extra cautious to ensure no one offends them—especially my troublesome sister."
Selena and Priscilla chuckled, understanding his frustration.
"With Yuan by her side, I doubt she'll stir up trouble during the auction," Selena reassured him. "However, Yuan's wives are so stunning they're bound to attract attention from the guests."
"And trouble," Philip muttered with a sigh. "I just hope he doesn't provoke the Hidden Families if their people try to approach his wives."
Selena raised a brow, her tone sharpening. "Do you think Yuan would let anyone near his wives? Besides, according to Valeria, some of them are far stronger than even her. If they wanted to, they could reduce this city to rubble without breaking a sweat."
Her frown deepened as she continued, "Husband, what would you do if someone tried to harm me? Would you stand by silently? It's the same for him—and for anyone protecting their loved ones."
Philip opened his mouth to respond but faltered, unable to form a coherent reply.
Priscilla, her tone grave, interjected. "Husband, you must ensure the Hidden Families don't approach Yuan or his wives, especially the three non-human women. They're incredibly dangerous."
Philip let out a weary sigh after a moment of thought. "I'll do what I can, but let's hope for the best. The last thing we need is anyone offending the Hidden Families—or Yuan."
"By the way, did they mention when Mother might wake up?" Emperor Philip asked.
"No," Selena replied, shaking her head. "They said there's still a chance the Cold Energy could return, as they haven't identified its source. It could be a powerful curse, or it might even be her own body producing the Cold Energy, gradually destroying her from within—like it's feeding on her as it grows stronger."
"A mysterious Cold Energy, huh? No wonder Mother always complained about feeling cold at night. I'm impressed they managed to diagnose her illness so quickly and even treat it," Philip muttered, his expression showing genuine surprise.
After dinner with the Imperial Family, Yuan, his wives, Miss Zara, and Little Zoe returned to their assigned rooms. Miss Zara and Little Zoe said goodnight before heading into their room.
Little Zoe kissed Yuan and Lily on their cheeks, her small smile lighting up the hallway, before following her mother inside and closing the door. Yuan and his wives exchanged warm smiles and entered their own room—a spacious suite with a massive bed dominating the center.
Once inside, Yuan immediately pulled his two mothers onto the bed, wrapping them in a tender hug. His face nestled between their bosoms, and a surprised laugh escaped Anna and Grace as milk sprayed from their nipples, soaking their blouses.
Both women giggled, their joy apparent as they wrapped their arms and legs around Yuan, showering him with affectionate kisses. For a few moments, the three remained like that, lost in each other's warmth and comfort.
Eventually, they separated, and Yuan sat between Anna and Grace, his expression turning serious as he looked at his wives gathered around the bed. Taking a deep breath, he broke the silence.
"We're thinking about turning Vanessa into a cultivator after she wakes up," Yuan said, his tone calm but resolute.
The room grew quiet as Emma, her brow furrowing, responded cautiously. "Are you sure about this? It's... risky." Her voice carried a note of concern, though her surprise was evident.
"It's fine. Don't worry," Yuan reassured her, glancing at Valeria with a soft smile. "Besides, we don't have any other choice. I've already promised Valeria that I'll make her mother healthy again."
Emma paused, then nodded, a grin spreading across her face. "If it's for Sister Valeria, then I agree. Let's help Lady Vanessa become a cultivator."
The other wives echoed Emma's agreement, their smiles filled with support. Seeing their collective response, Valeria's eyes grew moist with happiness, her heart swelling with gratitude and affection.
"Thank you, everyone," Valeria whispered, her voice low but brimming with warmth.
'I'm truly blessed to have such a caring husband and sisters... I'm so fortunate,' she thought, her lips curling into a soft, contented smile.
"Don't mention it, Valeria. After all, we're sisters," Mireya said with a chuckle, pulling Valeria into a warm embrace.
A few minutes later, Yuan moved and looked at his two mothers, Anna and Grace. He said, "Mom Anna and Mom Grace, how about you both become one again? I really want to suck your milk and lick your pussy right now."
Yuan's words surprised both Anna and Grace, as well as his other wives, with his bold and perverted idea. They immediately covered their mouths, feeling slightly embarrassed.
"If that's what our son wants, we're ready to become one again," Anna and Grace chuckled with a blush before removing their clothes until they stood completely naked before him.
It only took a few minutes for them to merge together and become a single being once again. It had been a while since they had merged together to share a single body.
"You look so beautiful like this, Mom!" Yuan exclaimed, licking his lips as he stared at her massive breasts and the delicious pussy that was right in front of his face.
