Chương 25: The Hero Returns

After I dressed and picked up the fish plate, I went out to pick up my wives for a ride home, and Fenghue looked at me with worry.

"How did it go?" I sighed in defeat.

"Women are strange creatures. Go see for yourself." I said in a gloomy voice, then flew up to my wives, while Fenghue ran into the wedding room, likely expecting a blood bath. She'll find a pile of naked women laughing so hard they can't even speak.

"Did you enjoy yourself, husband?" Quinhue asked as we moved fast towards the Sect's gate.

"My balls are dry and hurt. I need to get stronger. Stop! I see someone..." I said as my eyes caught a glint of something familiar. Red heels. It wasn't impossible, people used all sorts of colors for shoes and clothes, but most Sects had strict color codes. And by the looks of it, demonic sects came color-coded too.

"Your balls are drained today. Even if that woman is attractive..." Sakura whispered in a worried tone, worried about my health. Such a good wife indeed.

"I do seem like a shallow guy, right? Guided only by my dick..." I said softly, making my wives blink. They almost wanted to agree...

"So, the one in red heels?" Quinhue traced my eyes to the target.

"Red like blood. You'd think people would notice..." I whispered back, then flew onwards with Sakura. A minute later, Quinhue caught back with our slow speed, and wrapped her hands around us, blurring ahead. Like a qi powered rocket, we streaked across the sky, reaching the border in 31 seconds... since Quinhue's level had grown since we met in that cave.

"I warned the Sect Master to track that spy, and see who she meets with. How did you know about the red heels code?" my wife asked as she scanned the sky.

"I can tell you... but you'd need to wear only heels for a week. Sakura too, of course." I demanded with a sneaky voice.

"It's no big deal, we can wear heels. Hard to walk but..." my good wife said in a careless tone.

"He means... without other clothes, Sakura. Damn pervert..." Quinhue muttered as her neck turned red.

"Oh! That would be... complicated." Sakura said with a complicated look in her eyes. I could see the temptation grow in her pure heart.

"At least let us wear stockings too!" Quinhue demanded with a mild tone of outrage. I thought for a minute, then nodded. My wife knew me too well.

"Sure. But I'll pick when the week starts. And there might be more women in that room." I allowed in a generous voice. Sakura froze and began to blush, when Quinhue laughed gently.

"Our husband has other wives back home. Of course he wants us all naked. You can go back to sect if you regret it..." Quinhue urged her competing wife.

"No! I can't expect our husband to make love to us, and not see us naked. It's only natural!" Sakura proclaimed in a valiant tone, and sneaked a loving glance at me.

"We'll go a bit slower from here, so your Venerables have time to see me and prepare. This is also an official visit, among sect leaders." Quinhue spoke in a serious voice, as we began to fly into the Blue Lotus territory. I considered this for a minute, but had to agree. I was still too weak to impose my will on other Nascent Souls, mostly because there was such a huge gap between cultivation realms.

I remembered well what happened in that slaver camp, with a single Nascent Soul obliterating lower realms with ease. Anyway, while I could reach Nascent Soul too in a few months... with such big supply of pure Yin and the fish plate to increase the speed, it would not be ideal. Cultivation had levels, exactly because there was an order of steps and layers of insight to be gained. This book was originally published on Royal Road. Check it out there for the real experience.

Rushing too fast would make you weaker in higher realms, so I had to stop and digest my gains. Let my cultivation settle, let my body adapt, and gather resources for later. Sakura had also grown, matching my 5th level in Core Realm now, and if she kept being good to me I would raise her more. But her sect was sneaky, giving me a wife with no support skills like Alchemy or Formations. Poetry... wasn't very lucrative.

Tian disagreed, since there were poetry contests with huge prizes, and Dao Scriptures that were locked with poetry rhymes and Dao Charms, so who knows? An hour later, we stopped and hovered in front the Blue Lotus gate, and a cloud converged into a human form, pressing its potent qi over me and my companions.

"Fairy Quinhue, right? I don't know your Elder, but I recognize the young boy. Pef Tian... who has advanced again, into Core Realm. There must be a huge secret in this story."

"And we should keep it secret, Venerable Xing. I'm sure your sect can offer us some tea, and a private place to chat." Quinhue spoke in a soft voice, party muffled by her new veil. I guess I got used to seeing my women in their natural form, but the wide world had other rules. This wasn't a hentai world like Pef dreamed of, where naked women ran around all over. Still, naked women seemed to happen around me, more than statistically probable, in a short time.

Tian had seen many more naked beauties, but spread over a long life, not all at once.

"Oh? A Sword Trial?" an old voice asked and I caught on, finding myself on a mountain peak pavilion, surrounded by tall plum trees. Could plum trees even grow at this altitude? And be in flower all the time?

"It was super easy, Venerable. Barely an inconvenience. I do have two Profound sword manuals from those spies." I answered as my brain caught up with the dialogue.

"... Indeed. Teshan's manual is better than most of our sect techniques, even those reserved for Elders. Do you have a preferred job you would like in the sect, Elder Pef Tian?" the Venerable asked me in a different voice, and I could hear myself get promoted to Elder rank just now.

"Three things, yes. Alchemy, Sword training and auction trading. And if my past trial with sniffing spies is approved, I can also continue that. During my stay in the Frozen Pavilion, I also uncovered a demonic spy ring among their disciples. It seems the Blood Pact is an enemy of all." I said in a polite voice.

"Ehem. Indeed. I shall reward our Elder Gong for teaching you well, and bringing fame and glory to our sect. I suppose you will want to introduce your new wife to the rest of them, right? Go, have fun!" the Venerable chased me off, so I took Sakura's hand and flew down, back to my old courtyard. Politics made revealing my marriage with Quinhue difficult, so I won't do it until I also had the same realm. Not that catching a Core Realm wife from a different sect wasn't already a prestige boost for our entire sect.

Our Ancestors must be so proud! The chime rang as I entered my yard, and Mei ran out to see if freedom was at hand. It wasn't.

"Scumbag! I hoped you were dead." my Dark Sister greeted me in a loving voice, and ignored Sakura to jump in my arms. I fondled her ass with fond memories, and pointed Sakura at my meager tea set.

"Make us more tea, Sakura. Rumors will spread fast, and the others will come soon." I demanded and entered my home to bully Mei again.

"Where have you been these months? I was so bored, locked in here. And didn't have a drop of milk..." Mei complained as I sat her in my lap to play with her warm and soft boobs.

"I cultivated hard, outside. Formed my Core, in fact." I whispered and floated a bit with Mei in my arms, making her eyes grow wide.

"Damn it. I just formed my Foundation... how are you so fast?" Mei asked in awe.

"It's a long story. For example, Sakura here is an Elder from the Frozen Pavilion. I beat her in a Sword Trial and she became my wife. Then I liberated a slaver camp near the border, and had many adventures. Too bad you're a bad girl who has to stay inside, instead of roaming outside with your brave husband." I said gently, while untying her yellow robes to release the breasts for my pleasure. Mei moaned as my lips enveloped her pink nipples, and she hugged my head tight.

"I'll be a good girl, I promise! Please... take me too." she pleaded with misty eyes.

"The tea is ready, husband." my good wife said with a tinge of envy.

"Don't tie those robes, Mei. I want to see more." I said with grin, then walked to the table to sit down. A young woman burst inside my yard, and ran into my arms, leaving a stream of tears in her wake.

"Peffy! You're really home!" Qin Lin cried, and filled my chest with warm love, and wet tears.

"Did you doubt me? This pretty flower is your sister-wife Sakura. Go hug her too." I pointed Lin at the curious wife.

"Welcome home, big sister! Don't let Pef Tian bully you too much!" Lin whispered while hugging Sakura.

"... It's a bit too late for that. But thank you for the warm welcome, little sister." Sakura spoke in a warm voice, and hugged Qin Lin as well.

"And I am Mei, your future sister. He wants me to look indecent... maybe he missed me these months." Mei said in a teasing voice, and shook her naked breasts at the competition. My wives began to laugh, and untied their robes as well.

"Mine are bigger!" Lin proved and shook her chest too. I smiled over my tea, and just waited for the rest to arrive. It should be interesting, at least.
