Saharika had buried her face in Shenshah's chest and wiggled, like a puppy enjoying its master's affection.
My one hand stroked her back, the other stroked her hair.
She had just gotten up but feeling her husband showering love upon her, she didn't want to wake up.
Her body quivered, perhaps it was still sensitive from the previous day's intense love-making.
She didn't want to leave the bed,
Yet….morning has come~
"Okay, get up."
-I patted her buttocks.
I don't know if it was the effect of the sunlight pouring through the window, her eyes sparkled like some obsidian jade, only making the moment more alluring.
"Husband!"
-With a melodious voice she slowly lifted her dishevelled head which was buried deep in my chest.
Seeing her act so cute and coquettish, I knew there was something on her mind.
"Husband, I have thought about it."
She first pouted, then bit her lips.
"I know those girls Quanzhi and Xenia have feelings for you. That Quanzhi almost cried yesterday, when I said I was pregnant."
Saharika took a deliberate pause giving Shenshah time to adapt to the important words she was going to utter.
"Oh, I know about it."
"So what's my wife's suggestion?"
-I got up and made her sit on my lap.
"Later you are going to marry other girls anyway, so it's better to bring back home girls which are good."
"This Xenia seems like a nice girl."
"She must be heartbroken and dejected after getting gravely injured."
"Her cultivation path is almost blocked now."
"By now, Quanzhi must have told her about your marriage and my pregnancy."
"Even though she had hidden her emotions deep in her heart, upon knowing that the boy she cherished is now far away, her heart would be further burdened."
"So…."
-Saharika looked at me mischievously.
"…..So?"
-I too thought about the same thing.
But the only thing bothering me was the fact that I had just recently married. Bringing home another girl in such a short span of time, when Saharika recently got pregnant might make her angry.
Of course, I won't deny that I was not tempted by the system's rewards. You know if I do manage to marry a girl with a cultivation base, the rewards must be promising~
"You still want me to speak?"
"You can't hide it!"
"Don't you want to bring those Xenia and Quanzhi home?"
-She looked at me with a jealous tone.
From Saharika taking such an initiative, I was very well aware of her little thoughts.
She wanted the position of the main wife~
Even if there are many women around her husband, she wants to be the one who manages the harem in her husband's absence. As someone who lost her parents, her husband's family will be her everything so she didn't want to see any discord arising among other wives.
Therefore, only by becoming the one whom Shenshah loves the most can she show those arrogant-talented girls their place. She wanted to keep them in check lest ….because of their princess-like attitude, they may make things difficult for her husband.
The more I looked at her acting so cute, the more I felt that marrying her was perhaps the best decision of my life.
Who doesn't want such a wife?
"Don't worry if I did manage to bring those two girls home, the position of my most beloved wife is forever yours."
-Hearing my words, she was satisfied.
And then she gave me a smile that just seemed so genuinely sweet with just the right touch of shyness that unexpected warmth once again rushed through me.
She was selfish for her husband's love and main wife's position and I was selfish for the system's reward.
We both were selfish in our own way~
The husband and wife pair had a perfect tacit-understanding.
"Okay now get up, after eating breakfast I will go to the sect to see Xenia and try my luck."
Just as I got up from the bed, my footsteps staggered as I almost fell.
It was at this point I heard the system's prompt.
[It is detected that the host is living happily with his first wife.]
[It is to inform the host, due to the partial recovery of the system's energy, many functions which were locked now are in the process of unlocking.]
[As long as the host marries the second wife, the system store will open and the main mission will be issued.]
After giving me the prompt, the system fell silent.
I tried to call it out but I didn't get any response.
'Hmm, it seems unless I successfully marry a second wife, the system won't be responsive.'
'Maybe it's due to the lack of that special type of energy told by the system, which is needed for its recovery?'
I had a vague guess that system's energy had to do something with me having sex with my newly-married wife for the first time.
But all of these were guesses after all~
I didn't care much…even if I failed to bring Xenia home, I would marry another normal girl like Saharika anyways.
With marrying a second wife, things will become clear automatically.
With the earlier prompt, I was excited thinking about many cheat-like things that might appear in the system store.
As for the main mission? If it's favourable then I don't mind doing it, else ignore it directly..
