Aldred looked at the list of perks he got from consuming the monster core and he was shocked.

“This monster core is too powerful!”

“That is why they are greatly valued.”

“Can we look for it again?”

“You got lucky this time, Aldred. Killing the sea serpents doesn’t guarantee a monster core. You obtaining two at once would make anyone think the Goddess of Luck is sleeping with you last night.”

“They are that rare, huh?”

“Yes, they are very rare.”

“That’s too bad.”

While Aldred was absorbed in his own thoughts, Stella was looking at him with a smile. She couldn’t believe it herself, but she had seen it with her own eyes. Her husband’s battle prowess rose to a whole new level. His sword art skills became more developed. And he obtained a rare type of monster core that no other person could acquire.

She thought this was the best gift that the Goddess of Luck gave her.

Or maybe it was someone else.

The next day was spent inside the mothership. Aldred and his wives were busy training and practicing their magic. They were also busy eating, swimming, or drinking tea with the captains.

Aldred helped his wives improve their magic. Currently, he was guiding Zafrina on how to effectively control her blood manipulation spells.

“Like this?” Zafrina asked.

“Yes, but push your hand forward more, and think of moving the blood as a whole instead of some part in their body.”

“Like this?” Zafrina moved, accidentally knocking on Aldred. “Sorry.”

“No problem. Let’s try that again.” He raised her hand and showed an example of what she needed to do. Zafrina moved her hand slowly and steadily, and then applied pressure as she pushed forward. She successfully created a small hole in the palm of Aldred’s hand.

Zafrina was happy, but she noticed something. “Are you okay?”

“I’m fine, dear.”

“You look a little pale.”

“Don’t worry about me, dear. You concentrate on your spell. Your blood manipulation is getting better, but you still need to work on your control.”

“Okay, I will.” She glanced at him with a blush. When she created a hole in his palm, she secretly siphoned some of his blood into her. That made her turn on for some reason.

She felt guilty about it, but she wanted to feel that sensation again.

She was enjoying life in the mothership. The food was delicious, and the room was very comfortable. Maybe she was being too casual, but she didn’t care anymore.

There are no pirates.

Aldred was also trying to improve his stamina and strength. He did so by drinking potions and eating nutritious foods. He spent most of his time on the training grounds with his wives. When not in training, they would be relaxing by the pool, chatting, and having a barbecue with the captains, soldiers, and Bartrem. He liked it when Bartrem would cook for them. The man was an excellent chef. Everyone enjoyed his cooking. Making a full-course meal was an easy task for him now, not to mention flipping meat on the grill.

After a few hours of having fun by the pool, Aldred analyzed the soldiers using his godly eyes as they trained. He improved their posture and techniques by lecturing them before they implement it in their spars immediately.

When dawn arrived, the soldiers pulled their partner to the bed and so did Aldred.

Aldred pretty much made love with his wives every night now. They never got bored of it, and even tried various positions they had never done before.

Of course, they did this while Krista was asleep and Stella was casting silent spells around her.

After they were done for the night, Rachel kissed him on the lips before she closed her eyes, breathing heavily.

Stella was breathing heavily as well, but she asked for second, third, and even fourth. As a Diamond Rank, she was the most resilient out of all his wives.

When she finally got enough baby seeds in her tummy, Stella smiled, kissed him, and played with his tongue for a while.

When they were done, Aldred asked them: “Do you all regret coming with me?”

“Not at all,” they replied.

“Really? You can be honest, I won’t be mad.”

“You opened my eyes, dear,” Mira said. “I used to stay in the abbey for years because I thought that was the place of truth. Turns out the truth is different in every region. I would like to explore the world to find the universal truth, and I want to do it alongside you.”

His wives all approached him and worried about why he asked such a question.

“I am fine. I am just wondering if any of you want to return to your home.”

Zafrina shook her head. “Going with you is the best decision I ever made. I feel bad for leaving my father, but at the same time, I feel thankful that he let me do so.”

Ivette crawled on the bed and sat on his lap. “You changed my life and my brother’s life. Now we can enjoy everything without problem debt free. You are my everything, Aldred.”

“What about you, Kiara?”

“My mind is a blank page, but when I saw you, I knew you would be the one who’s filling it. I feel nothing but gratitude for meeting you on that grass plain. If not, I wouldn’t know where I would end up right now.”

Sophia wrapped her hands around his neck and pressed her large boobs into his chest. “What made you ask this question, Aldred? We all love you with all of our hearts.”

“I don’t question that, Sophia.” He kissed her sweet lips. “I just want to make sure you are all as happy as I am.”

Mary and Mareona kissed him as well.

And they all made love again.
