Chương 3: Spirit fruit

Without waiting for Jin to explode in my face, I took out my second spirit stone, and placed on the melting tea table.

"I am no longer poor, my dear sister-wives! Behold, a spirit stone!" I proclaimed in a grand voice, and Lin grinned at me, for being less poor than yesterday. Sister Jin sighed, and slapped her forehead.

"I really don't know what's going on inside that empty head of yours, my sweet, innocent husband." she complained and dropped a huge bag on the table, making quite the splash as the melting tea overflowed. I poked the cloth bag and peeked inside, just to make sure. Probably 1000 spirit stones. Jin was rich too.

"This is your half of the money. Sister Lina bought that Formation plate with 2000 spirit stones." Jin offered in a generous voice. I blinked at her rapacious manners, since her own investment was a meager blank plate worth two spirit stones at most. The rest was my knowledge and hard work. With a smile, I handed the cloth bag to Qin Lin.

"This is your wedding gift, my love. Sister Jin already got hers." I said with a kind voice, making Lin tear up for some reason.

"Husband... it's so much! And you'll be poor again!" she realized after a bit. I picked up my hard-earned spirit stone left on the table.

"I have everything I need, sweet Lin." I explained and tapped my head to hint at hidden knowledge. Jin grit her teeth, perhaps realizing her mistake now.

"Husband... even if you're poor now, your wives will support you! Right, sister Lin?" she asked my other flower. Lin sobbed from inside the cloth bag, likely too busy counting her acorns. Groaning a bit from the pain, I stumbled onto my bed and lay down to rest.

"We'll talk later..." I muttered and fell asleep. That Dark Lord has certainly done a number on me, and getting frozen by Lina didn't help either. Much later, I woke up to find my morning wood being polished by sister Jin, while Lin had probably gone to her alchemy lessons.

"Hey... did you stay all night?" I asked gently.

"I had to teach Lin how to use her stones and not get scammed. You gave her too much!" Jin complained and climbed over to ride the dragon. My hands also climbed by reflex onto her peaks, then down her valley and over her long legs... then back again.

"I guess the taste got better, right?" I wondered softly. Jin glared at me from up high, then lowered her chest for me to eat. I guess that's what being married is like. No marriage is always perfect and happy. But the sex makes up for it. Wisely, I decided to shut up and just enjoy my gift, keeping my mouth occupied with the mountains I conquered. Jin didn't have high peaks comparable to Lina or Lin, but her long legs made up the score, and came ahead too. No wonder Tian loved her so much... and now I did too.

Pef lit up in my mind, so I rolled over and placed those long legs on my shoulders, then began pounding Jin into my bed, while my hands roamed over her legs. Jin moaned and drew me into a long kiss, then came hard and sprayed orchid perfume all over. I grinned and stood up, pointing at the wet sheets.

"And now I need new bedsheets too. Unless you want Lina to smell that." I asked with a wry tone. Jin sobbed and covered her face, then turned on her side.

"Idiot. You ruined the moment..." She was right, so I climbed into the wed bet and hugged Jin into a tight spoon, then continued tracing her legs with my free hand.

"Better?"

"Mhmmm. Feels good." Jin said in a soft tone, and leaned into my chest for warmth and comfort. I just waited for her to relax, and the tension to dissipate.

"So you want a new Formation?"

"I'll work hard too. But I also need spirit stones..." Jin whispered with an apologetic voice.

"I'm not giving you my last spirit stone!" I protested in outrage. This narrative has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road. If you see it on Amazon, please report it. Jin laughed, then turned around to kiss me deeply.

"I bet you would, if I did something nice for you..." she enticed me and lowered herself to slurp on my dick again. Well... it was tempting. A single spirit stone for a blowjob from a goddess? Most men would agree. Pef lit up again, but I avoided his hentai schemes for now. My girls were too pure for hardcore stuff, for now. I just enjoyed her divine massage, then blew up hard and filled Jin's mouth with my milk.

"One milk dose for a spirit stone. I hope you have enough cash, my dear wife." I asked instead. Jin gulped her expensive drink, then smiled sweetly at me.

"You're lucky your wife got into some money recently. But first, we have to finish my other plate." she demanded and sat on my lap, and took out a blank plate. Oh well. I was a bit rusty when crafting low level Formations. Might as well make my wife happy. I embraced Jin, and guided her over the enchanting process, using my qi as a channel while she poured her stronger qi into the grooves, carving Formation arrays into the metal.

The second time went much easier, both because I had an extra level, and because Jin knew what to expect now. By the time Lin came back from classes, the Formation was also ready, and Jin cleaned up the bed, and took a bath as well.

"Smells like flowers in here." Qin Lin noticed with a coy voice. Another chime announced the next visitor, which was of course Lina Mu. Lin began boiling tea, while Jin went to receive her friend and invite her in. As they sat down for tea, they both held up their Formation plates and began comparing them.

"How was Alchemy today?" I asked my first wife.

"We learned about picking flowers in the right way. Don't rush and rip them out, but gently scoop them out, and never damage the roots. Wood Qi can help greatly with that too." Qin Lin spoke over her tea, which was not frozen today. Jin glanced at Lin, probably catching a hidden meaning in her words.

"Pef Tian, I shouldn't have frozen your blood yesterday. I was a guest in your home..." Lina offered in a flat, lukewarm tone, which was 100 degrees hotter than her usual voice.

"I guess the Keeper of Knowledge would have to learn such things from books. Practice is a bit different from theory." I allowed with a generous voice. The air in the room cooled a bit, before Jin poked Lina under the table.

"Don't let him annoy you, Lina. Do you know what he did? The money from your plate he gave it to me and Lin, equal halves. Pef is still poor... barely a spirit stone to his name." Lina Mu examined me for a minute, then sipped her tea.

"His knowledge is far more precious. As you can see with your new Formation, Sister Jin. And I did find a spirit fruit for him." Lina said and took out a Golden Mango Fruit, perfect for someone in Qi Gathering Realm. Jin took out a cloth bag, which might hold 300 spirit stones, and handed it over to Lina, then picked up the fruit and gave it to me.

"Your wedding gift, husband. May you form your Foundation soon, and live for a thousand years!" My face twitched at the life curse, although it was the customary greeting for people undergoing Foundation.

"I might want to live longer than that, dear Jin. But thanks. It is really helpful."

"You believe you'll live longer than a Nascent Soul, Brother Pef?" Lina Mu asked curious.

"My old master has lived for 2000 years already, and still has a bit more left. I do need to find a 5th tier pill for him, and prolong his life... but I don't even know where he is right now." I answered in a calm voice, Tian's manners seeping into my voice as well. Lina turned towards Jin in surprise, but my wife just nodded.

"Pef has reached Core Realm once, and will do it again. As for his old master... he reached Soul Transformation." Jin said in a quiet voice. I just peeled the Golden Mango, picked out the wooden core and placed it aside, then ate the whole thing in one big bite, making sure the juice didn't spill out. Being a spiritual fruit, its size had less relevance than normal fruits, and only the size of your meridians mattered for real.

Luckily, I already completed the sword reinforcement, and my meridians were eager to get filled with energy. Lin picked up the wooden core and examined it for a long time, possibly using her Alchemy knowledge to uncover its secrets. Sadly, it did take a Tier 3 Alchemist to use that core, and Lin wasn't even at Tier 1.

"It doesn't hurt? A Golden Mango has enough energy to..." Lin asked as my body relaxed and crossed into the 8th level of Qi Gathering, while Pef complained about cheating and abusing the game mechanics. It was a bit funny, a hacker complaining about cheating. With a satisfied sigh, I opened my eyes and hugged Lin to my side.

"Don't copy me, junior sister. My meridians were enlarged from sword reinforcement, which is why I was so beat up before." Lina narrowed her eyes as she examined me.

"Your cultivation is different now, Brother Pef. The Blue Lotus doesn't cycle in three folds." I nodded in silence. Raising a Mortal method to Profound-grade wasn't easy, but Tian was an expert on stuff like that.

"Interesting. Still a scumbag, of course." Lina Mu declared in a nicer voice, then turned around and left before her Yin energy flared again. Qin Lin sneaked a hand into my pants, then took it out to sniff the orchid smell.

"I want my dose of daily milk too!"

"It costs a spirit stone from today onwards." Sister Jin quipped from the side, her grin a bit too wide. Qin Lin shrugged and placed the tithe on the table.

"I don't mind. Love is more important than money." she proclaimed like a woman in love, then lowered her head to gulp on my dick. I took another sip from the lukewarm tea, and smiled over my cup towards Jin.

"The fruit was very good, Sister Jin. But if you want milk, you know the price." I demanded like a milk salesman. Jin took off her long yellow robes, and wrapped her legs around my head.

"You make a good point, husband. Love is more important than money." she proclaimed as I flicked my tongue directly into her wet spring. Who flies around without panties?
