Jania and Tylia made for quite the cute duo.

As they slept, Edrick lingered on for a while, looking at them slumbering peacefully after having both their hearts and bodies satisfied by him.

Since they weren’t just random peasant girls, Anoteros did not leave them as they were. Sprawled around on the bed with their bodies covered in his warm seed. He made use of the bathroom connected to the bedroom and brought a towel to wipe them clean. Then, he dressed them back into their respective nightgowns and placed them in more comfortable positions in the bed.

He then pulled the covers over their bodies and kissed them on the forehead, both of them smiling warmly in their sleep as they felt him. Most adorably, Tylia grabbed onto her older sister. Clearly a habit that had carried over from childhood.

To not arouse any suspicion, he also went ahead and unlocked the door of the room. Although it might seem strange for the two sisters to sleep in the same bed at their age, it would probably be less strange than the door being locked when it usually wasn’t. How did Edrick know that? He had just learned that information during the plenty of discussions he had had with them.

In any case, Edrick left the same way he entered, climbing out of the room like a seasoned burglar. Putting his skills and handy little tools to good use to close the window from the outside. Then, he simply walked away, feeling thoroughly satisfied with himself. He hadn’t just completed two-thirds of a trio of missions tonight, he had quite enjoyed himself. He had not expected to get both Jania and Tylia at the same time. Furthermore, they turned out to be quite nice partners in bedtime activities.

It was a shame that he couldn’t just claim them for himself as easily as most girls. Nevertheless, he intended on keeping them close, making sure that he was going to be the only man in their lives.

Additionally, Jania was going to be the lord of Oie one day.

So all around, tonight’s little operation was a resounding success in all departments.

He didn’t bother to check what the system was offering for the completion of the two quests, knowing very well that the real rewards awaited him once he completed the third one.

Though that one was still somewhat problematic. Jania had not kept it from him that her mother had a less than favourable view of him. It was also clear that she was not at all dissatisfied with her marriage. Convincing a mature woman like Milerva was going to be challenging. He might have to make use of some tricks…

‘Mmh…?’ after walking away from the manor and stepping into the quiet streets of Oie, Anoteros felt a slight pull from where he had come from. He quickly understood what it might be due to. Jania had been quite tight-lipped about the sixth technique of her family, but Tylia? Not so much.

From the looks of it, Edrick had done admirably well, as he felt two strong connections latch onto him. It seemed like both of the noble ladies had recognised him as their chosen ‘gander’, in just one nightly interaction at that.

It might be due to him using Five-Legged Devil Goat Physique. This may have caused their dual cultivation technique to resonate more strongly than it should have. However, it was no problem. Anoteros had already decided to keep them around. So if anything, this only cemented the fact that he and the sisters were bound… Forever…

The following day, rather than immediately going back to the manor to tackle the Milerva question. Edrick had a meeting with Shu. The inner disciple had been absent from the residence in the last few days, seemingly far less enthusiastic about Yaling all of a sudden, and had begun training with even more fervour than before.

Why that was, Anoteros pretended to be interested in knowing as they sat and drank some tea on the terrace of a restaurant out in town-

“I couldn’t help but notice that you have changed how you do things recently. Is something the matter?” he asked, and Shu looked ecstatic to speak about it.

Currently, the inner disciple looked a bit different from usual. As he had said that he would, Shu had procured himself something to aid in the lengthening of his hair. Currently, his brown hair hung down to his shoulders, a far departure from his previously slicked-back hair.

Not to mention that it was arranged in a rather unconventional way for him…

“Yin spoke to me! And it wasn’t to threaten or to tell me to be careful about what I was doing! She just spoke to me… Normally!” he exclaimed with a broad smile.

“In the last few days, we have been getting to know one another, and things have been progressing so quickly between us! Sorry that I couldn’t make it to training, but I have to thank you for your pieces of advice. I never expected that they would work so well. I honestly have a hard time believing that things could turn around for me so quickly…”

Shu had never radiated so much positivity before. Truly, he felt that everything Edrick had told, and put him through had been completely worth it.

“Ah, so that was it… I guessed as much. Hui told me that Yin had begun mentioning you more and more lately. I didn’t tell you so that you wouldn’t get anxious, but it seems like things worked out fairly well” replied Edrick, bringing his cup of tea to his mouth.

The noble scion’s acting was impossible for the inner disciple to see through, usually. So now that he was blinded by getting close to what he had desired for so long, there wasn’t a snowflake chance in hell for him to detect anything abnormal.

Of course, Edrick already knew everything. It was all by his own design.

Yin was his wife now, marked by a crest and thoroughly dominated. She didn’t mind doing anything for her dear husband, such as helping him trick Shu a little bit.

“But huh… You wouldn’t happen to have more advice to give me? I feel like I am so close to actually doing it, to having a real relationship with her. But I am scared that I’ll mess it all up right on the finish line…”

“Don’t worry. I probably shouldn’t be telling you this, but I know everything, thanks to Hui, about how Yin feels. You only need to keep doing what you are doing. She’s already charmed, you can try to ask her to be your girlfriend, and she’ll say yes. But if you are really too worried, just wait a little while longer, without the shadow of a doubt, she’ll go ahead and ask you to be her boyfriend sooner than later”

“In fact, I would guess that she’ll do it right after we return from the secret realm. Just do your best, and she’ll fall right into your arms!” reassured Edrick.

“You think so? Well, you’ve always been right so far, so I guess I’ll wait just a little longer, it isn’t like I need to rush things” ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ N()velFire.net

“Indeed”

‘Aah… Shu, you are so smart, yet so gullible! I’ll need to get rid of that bad aspect eventually’ Anoteros thought as he finished his cup of tea.

Since everything with Shu was going perfectly well, and Xiao was still not doing anything of importance, Edrick truly had nothing better to do than to find a solution to Milerva…
