After being treated to a hearty meal prepared by Linmin’s expert hands, with Jingyi as an assistant. A feast containing several types of flesh that activated a certain trait of his bloodline, filling him with energy. No doubt to hasten his recovery from the various wounds he had sustained, and also to alleviate the fatigue of an entire day of fighting and waiting around. Afterwards, Edrick discussed with his wives about everything and nothing, having sent his personal maid away.

He permitted her to go eat alongside the other maids. But Jingyi did not linger away for too long. She went ahead and prepared a bath as per the prior instructions of the wives, filling the absurdly large bathtub that stood in the center of the main bathroom. As it was being heated up, a medicinal liquid was added to the mix, which filled the room with a floral scent, causing foam to rise.

Jingyi’s timing proved to be on point. As soon as she was done with that, the four wives led their husband into the bathroom. Steam was already beginning to fill the place when they opened the door. From then, it did not take long for all matters of clothing to be stripped and for the group to enter the bath. Everyone naturally gathered around the man of the house like moths to a flame.

The maid gathered the clothes and went to prepare the nightwear they would change into. But just as she was about to excuse herself, Anoteros signalled for her to approach, tapping his shoulder in silent order. Jingyi nodded, beaming inwardly as she began to massage his large, strong shoulders, helping chase away the weariness that had been instilled upon them during the day.

“Lord Lucien… Why did you go so easy on that Xiao guy? Is he really deserving of your mercy?” Hui, who had secured a position that allowed her to rest her head against one of Edrick’s pectorals, asked a question all of the wives wanted to ask. Their husband had not been very talkative about his plans concerning the protagonist, mostly because he did not fully know how things would proceed on Xiao’s end.

The crimson-eyed youth was clearly willing to divert from the script himself. As such, whatever knowledge wisps Anoteros had obtained concerning the original plot could not be fully trusted.

He looked down at his third wife, who looked very cute without her glasses and her braid undone. It looked like she could fall asleep at any moment.

Anoteros ran his fingers through her hair whilst responding.

“I have some plans that require him to be up and running. Also, I wouldn’t want to spoil that little friendship we have going” the librarian lightly nodded, revelling in the gentle caress.

“Please be careful, Lord Anoteros… This guy gives me a bad feeling. I despise merely looking at him” Fanqia offered some concerns. The original plot thread that linked her to Xiao had been thoroughly severed and had been replaced by an odd sense of disgust. The first wife just could not stand the sight of the one who was originally supposed to take her into his harem. She did not know that part, but was still repulsed beyond reason.

“He seems to be quite powerful though… Is he one of those rare geniuses that pop out in the wild? Somehow, he does not give that impression…” Linmin offered a bit of his own thoughts as well. Naturally, when a supposed peasant was able to do anything other than fold and crumble before Anoteros, Linmin could only suspect that he was not a peasant at all. After all, how could a low-bred fool pose any sort of a threat to his beloved husband?

The second wife had no idea how close he actually was to the truth with his hastily crafted belief about Xiao… Edrick did not deny or confirm anything and just reached out to caress Fanqia’s and Linmin’s faces a bit.

“Well… I don’t know about all of this, but he seemed special. He must have been born with something like a unique physique, or an altered constitution!” being the only one who had not said anything, Luxuli stopped ogling her husband to take part in the conversation.

Anoteros casually touched one of her horns.

“You can tell something like that about a living, breathing person? Did your appraisal ability grow stronger?” he asked with a small smile on his face.

“I suppose- But it was just a feeling I got, nothing precise like with inanimate objects” she took a second to respond as she reached out to touch his forearm, getting a good feel of the muscles and veins there. This was seriously turning her on.

Unlike the other three wives, the Docilis Succubus struggled more to contain her urges. She just couldn’t help but get all excited over the smallest of things, especially in private.

Her tail began to grow restless, tapping against the bathtub beneath the water.

“Say, Luxuli, I don’t think I ever asked you about your horns. They have grown a bit since I took you in. Are you supposed to do something about them, or just let them grow however they see fit?” he asked, casually pulling her onto his lap.

‘Ah… Am I getting singled out? Am I going to get it first?’ the demoness was turning red, her leg brushing against the sea serpent hidden beneath the water and foam, feeling it twitch ever so slightly, bit by bit, rising and hardening.

“They should fall on their own eventually… They regrow quickly for Docilis Succubi who get a lot of… Food… Heheh, the horns that fall can be used for alchemy and all sorts of purposes. Some excess energy that I get every time you feed me gets stored inside of them, and with how generous you are with the doses, I am sure that they’ll be overloaded with it once they fall off”

“Is that so?” it seemed like there was always something new to learn. Edrick had asked a lot of questions about her personally, not so much about her species, demons, or Itralith, the demonic kingdom she originated from.

As they exchanged a few words, he placed her in prime position to receive his rod, tightening one arm around her back and waist. Having the demoness lay her head against his shoulder as his tip brushed up against the submerged lips.

“Why don’t you tell me about your progress in magic?” he asked the question like normal, but his hips slightly rose, his manhood like a submarine penetrating a humid cave. The movement was slow and deliberate, but the easily stimulated fourth wife let out a sharp groan even though she was used to much more intense motions than this…

The other three were feeling excited seeing Luxuli receive attention. Jingyi could not help but also grow moist as she continued to massage her master. She had never seen this sort of action from up close.

Did she make that sort of face when being used too?
