After the brief stop at the frontier town, Ryker quickly bought another carriage as well as several horses for them to ride on. After all, while most of them could now fly, the children still couldn't, and carrying them while flying could be dangerous.
So, they resorted to buying carriages and horses, at least for the children and the ones who could not fly. At least for disguise. The moment they can no longer see the town, Ryker put the carriages into the Hidden Ancient Mansion, along with the horses, children, and his women who only reached the Genesis Condensing.
They were reluctant at first but when Ryker pointed out how dangerous it is for them, they accepted without a question. And so, the rest began to fly towards their next stop, the capital of Elkom Territory.
Ryker had bought a lot of information from the frontier town though he was a bit surprised there is no Adventure Guild there. He surmised that with the frontier town being more like an army outpost, then having an Adventure Guild there would make it moot.
He learned that there are several towns and cities that one could stop at before reaching the capital. However, Ryker did not plan on stopping there. With Tashirn, he planned on going to the capital as quickly as possible. No need to stop at those towns and cities.
After all, they have the Hidden Ancient Mansion.

Ryker entered the Hidden Ancient Mansion, Tashirn following him from behind. While it normally took even a Genesis Core expert 10 days to travel the distance from the border to the capital at full speed, with Tashirn, those who exhausted themselves could even rest on the beast and rest before flying once more.
Ryker had brought up the fact they could stay inside the Hidden Ancient Mansion, but the women refused, saying they wanted to fly as they just reached the Genesis Core.
Unable to refuse them, Ryker accepted their request. Besides, it would not mean much even if they arrived a bit later than they should.
However, with them flying and not stopping, Ryker estimated they would arrive at the capital in less than 10 days. Of course, they still need to stop but those food breaks did not mean much in the grand scheme of things, in how fast they could arrive.

As they were merely a day's journey from reaching the capital, Mashia flew close to him before sending him a Soul Message.
He listened to it before a twisted smile formed on his face. "How about we finally take real rest? With how we have been flying for nearly five days nonstop, I think we should rest for the night," Ryker said.
"But we are so close to the capital?" Hylla asked in confusion.
"That's why we should take a rest. We don't know if there is any possible danger in the capital. So, this rest is more for both me and Tashirn," Ryker told them.
The others could not help but agree. After all, while they seemed to not be tired from the long travel, that is merely outwardly. With how fast they have been going and sometimes even using techniques and sending qi to the others to help them move faster, it is a surprise they were able to fly so fast.
After searching for a good spot, Ryker opened the portal to the Hidden Ancient Mansion, allowing them to enter, which they all did, except for Mashia, who had an evil grin on her face.

As they changed to a more comfortable clothing to sleep, they soon found out most of the clothes had been changed.
"Why do we all have these lewd clothes inside the wardrobe?" Hylla exclaimed, her face red as she held a leotard with holes at the crotch and chest.
"How should we know?" Miriam said, in her hand a sexy lingerie that did not cover much, leaving nothing to imagination.
"And I don't even have any proper clothes," Mashia complained, as she only had gloves and socks, unlike the others who at least have clothes, never mind how erotic they are.
"This is likely Ryker doing," Eris said, also having similar clothes to Hylla, except in blue.
"Agree," Ina agreed to the blue-haired beauty, her clothing is also lingerie not unlike Miriam, except it is purple and seemed to cover less than Miriam did.
"We are going to have a wild night, don't we?" Era said, her voice hinting a bit of both tired resolve and excitement. Her hands are holding her clothes for the night, underwear with the bottom being a thong and the upper part being a bra that did not cover much.
The rest nodded, both worry and excitement in their voice. No one noticed that the dragon girl let out an amused smile, a glint of mischief in her eyes.

As they entered the room, they saw Ryker, wearing his regular nightwear, meaning going topless with shorts. He looked at them hungrily, prompting both Eris and Myna or cover their bodies despite them already doing it with him.
"Looks like you are ready for the night, girls," he said, burning the memory of them in the assortment of erotic clothing into his mind.
"Looks like you chose really sexy clothing for others, Mashia," as Ryker said this, the dragon girl walked towards him, strutting as she swayed her hip seductively.
"What does he mean by that, Mashia?" Hylla asked, feeling something wrong.
"Well, I told him I wanted to have revenge on all of you for all of the torment I have to go through previously," the other girls paled. They almost forget about it, and forget one of the rules Ryker created, at least when it involves the more licentious part of their life; payback.
"So, I asked for him to do it before we entered the capital. After all, there is no telling if we can get ourselves a mansion like before. So, here we are," she then took a seat on his lap, stroking his jaw, "Oh, and you can begin, dear,"
Ryker snapped his finger, materializing, well, they were not sure of what it was, "Those are tentacles, like in those erotic books I bought," nevermind, they knew what it was.
"Considering that you read books with tentacles in them, then you might have guessed what will happen now," Mashia said with a teasing tone, making Lisha both pale and blush, something that should have been impossible.
"Well, we are doomed," was Lisha's last word before the tentacle began to have their ways with her, along with the rest of the women.
