Chapter 161 Aftermath
Daybreak arrived and the first light from the sun descended and illuminated the room where two figures laid beside each other. One of the figures had a visual appearance of a young man in his late teenage years while the other was a woman whose youthful appearance looked to be the same age as him.
The young man had a jet-black hair while the woman beside her had a remarkable silver-hair which flowed down and covered her naked body like a sheet of aluminum. Her hair strangely glistened under the light of the sun and the temperature inside the room sharply decreased.
The decrease in temperature induced shivers and Dan's consciousness gradually awakened from slumber. Rubbing his murky eyes and his throbbing head, Dan moaned, "Little wife, can you pass me the sheets? It's too cold..."
Realizing that no one replied about his complaints, Dan opened his eyes and as soon as he saw the scene before him, his eyes widened in shock and panic.
"What's going on here? Why are there so many snow crystals..." Dan mumbled and inspected the room. The luxurious room that he stayed in became completely filled with cold air. Floating in the air were innumerable snow crystals which glistened under the light of the sun.
"System, help me analyze what the hell is going on in my room..." The strange phenomenon prompted him to ask the system but the system replied with.
[Result: Insufficient Database Information to understand the current phenomenon.]
[Possibilites: Bloodline Fusion between two Noble Bloodline Holders.]
"Bloodline Fusion?" Dan murmured in confusion, knitting his eyebrows, he turned his gaze to the side and there, he saw a stark naked Grace peacefully lying down beside him.
As soon as the image of the naked Grace struck her eyes, his mind madly spun and he soon recovered fragmented memories about the atrocity that he did last night towards the innocent Grace. Judging from the amount of blood that stained the sheets, Grace should've suffered throughout the entire ordeal, but under the influence of the Never Gonna Go Down Pills and his deep-seated desires, he neglected her and thoroughly ravaged the beauty.
"Fucking hell, Natalie..." Dan sucked a mouthful of cold air, now that he took Grace's innocence, Dan knew that he had to assume responsibility and take Grace as her second wife.
Kneading his aching temples, he observed the sleeping Grace and found that a barely visible image of a snow crystal could be seen on her forehead. Dan felt intrigued and touched the mark, but as soon as he did, the mark fizzled out of existence and the room where he stayed in returned to normal.
"Just what the hell just happened? Bloodline Fusion, did Grace possess some kind of special bloodline which provoked this phenomenon?" Dan fell into deep contemplation but soon shook himself out of it. There were far more vital matters that needed his attention.
Sighing in his heart, Dan stood up and walked towards the kitchen. With his barbaric actions last night, Grace was bound to be sore and he had to prepare a bowl of medicinal soup for her to consume when she wakes up.
"Oh, Dear, you're awake? Come, take this bowl of chicken congee and medicinal soup and bring it to Sister Grace..." Natalie's voice echoed before him and Dan saw that the former was cooking some breakfast, the fragrant smell of spices wafted out in the air before Dan wryly smiled.
"Natalie, don't lie to me, are you the one that set up everything last night?" His eyes flashed in seriousness and the atmosphere turned tense. Natalie stopped what she was doing, turned towards him and said, "Yep, I was the one who set everything up, is there any problem about it, Dear?"
Dan's expression turned worse and he replied, "Why would you do such a thing? Why are you so desperate to have me take on a second wife?" His words reverberated throughout the entire kitchen. Fortunately, Juliet was still sleeping or else that little girl would've definitely jumped in and stopped them from arguing.
"Dear, it's not like I am desperate but I just want Grace to enjoy her youthful days so that she won't have any lingering regrets in the future, and also, with your sexual drive, the time that I may not be able to handle you alone may come so having a second wife is a win-win situation for you, so why are you complaining? And it's not like Grace didn't have any feelings for you..." Natalie's words were sound and logical but Dan still felt conflicted and irritated by her actions.
If I wanted to take a second wife then I should be the one that should take the initiative in doing so! Why are you interfering in my matters? Dan wanted to say this out loud, but shaking his head, he merely sighed before taking the tray from Natalie's hands and returning back to his room.
Placing the tray at the table side, Dan adjusted the sheets that covered Grace so that it encompassed her entire body, and not letting her naked body be exposed to the elements. But as soon as Dan adjusted the sheets, Grace's eyes slowly opened and memories about the last night's affair surged in her mind, making tears stream down her cheeks.
Witnessing a frail mortal girl like Grace weeping before his eyes. Dan's expression went tender and he embraced her as he reassured, "Grace, I'm sorry about what happened last night, but you can rest assured that I will definitely take responsibility of my actions and in the future, the two of us are family along with Natalie, Juliet and you..."
His words were incomparably tender and pierced through Grace's soul as the young maiden, now woman kept on shivering under his embrace.
"Here, Natalie prepared some breakfast, it's supposed to soothe your sore body and help you heal..." Since Grace was a mortal, how could she possibly endure Dan's fierceness on the bed? Dan swore in his mind that he would definitely not touch her again until she started her cultivation.
Grace slowly removed her face from Dan's chest and her snot and tear covered countenance made the latter chuckle as he took a patch of fabric from a nearby cabinet and gently wiped her face clean. His smooth and gentle actions made a warm sensation rise through the young woman's heart.
After finishing her breakfast, Dan carried Grace towards the bathroom along with Natalie who insisted, saying that she knew more about a woman's body than him. Inside the bathroom where steam reduced the visibility of the paradise before him. Dan was completely naked with Grace and Natalie.
Since the Fragrant Peak Pavilion was at the peak of the Fragrant Peak Mountain, water was abundant and there existed a huge bath that could fit at least thirty people inside. The three of them stood beside each other and Natalie took great care of Grace's sore body.
Scrubbing her clean of the remaining body fluids from the intense battle that occurred last night, Natalie glared at Dan and said, "I shouldn't have given you that aphrodisiac, look at what happened, she's completely sore and can't even walk properly..." Taking a jade bottle from her Spatial Ring, Natalie gave Grace a healing panacea while Dan stared at them with a bitter smile on his face.
Dan walked behind Grace and scrubbed her back clean despite her protest. Natalie took care of the front and Grace felt like she was an Empress being taken care of her subjects. Lifting a small smile of satisfaction on her lips, Grace felt a protruding rod striking her back and Dan awkwardly turned around.
Natalie noticed this commotion and said, "You're still not satisfied with what happened, last night? Don't even try to do it with Grace!" Natalie warned with a fierce glare and Grace trembled for a moment before saying, "No, it's fine, I'm someone without cultivation unlike the young master that will definitely soar towards the skies in the future, I'm just a useless baggage that can never cultivate..."
"Apart from offering him the satisfaction of his carnal desires, I can't help him with anything...My cooking is bad, I don't know how to handle kids and apart from swindling people I don't have any idea on how I could help the young master in the future..." Natalie's expression went dim and she stared at Grace's figure with complicated emotions flashing in her eyes.
Grace's insecurities about the future, surfaced and Dan knitted his eyebrows in a frown, "A useless baggage that could never cultivate? You're underestimating yourself, Grace! Don't even think for a moment that you do not possess the qualifications to stand by my side in the future!"
Thinking back about the unique phenomenon that happened earlier and the system's evaluation of the fusion of Bloodline, Dan was certain that Grace had potential and even possessed a Noble Bloodline. It would be a waste if she didn't cultivate.
"If you're still in doubt, then come with me along with Juliet! Since Juliet is already ten, she is qualified to take the Potential Assessment done by the Academy for prospective Outer Sect Disciples, you will come with us and have your potential tested!" Dan fiercely declared, leaving no room for Grace to decline. Natalie lifted a small smile on her face.
Approaching Grace, she said, "Since both of us are husband's wives now, we should act so distant with each other, if you have any problems or worries, just tell me and we can tackle them together!" Natalie held both of Grace's hands and at this moment, for the first time in her life.
A sweet and fulfilling smile blossomed on Grace's face as a sense of satisfaction and happiness rouse within her soul. Nodding her head, she embraced Natalie and the two sisters shared each other's warmth.
Dan clicked his tongue, observing the suggestive scene of two naked women embracing each other before his eyes made him even more excited and despite holding his breath so that it would shrink, the bastard stood even taller than before.
Removing herself from Grace's embrace, Natalie glanced at Dan with a bitter smile on her face. "I'll take care of that for you, but please finish fast, Juliet will soon wake up..." She went towards Dan's side and bent over despite the fact that Grace was still standing beside them.
Panic flashed through Grace's expression and she hurriedly turned around. But despite all of this, Natalie's seductive moans and Dan's ragged breathing still struck her ears as she kept herself from running away in embarrassment.
