The next three days after what happened in Egypt went very slowly; I couldn't relax much as I helped the people rebuild their homes, revived a couple of casualties, and also had way too many press conferences where I had to state like three times that I didn't mean any harm to the country of Egypt; apparently their politicians saw me as some sort of threat despite how I saved their country.
I guess it cannot be helped. When you're dealing with weak mortals such as these, once they face someone like me, even when saved, they can only think about how there's a thousand ways I could destroy them anyway; therefore, only fear fills their hearts, and it overcomes any gratefulness they could ever feel.
It ultimately ended with me having a brief meeting and then a huge dinner with several of the country's politicians, who were constantly trembling in front of me. Oh well, things ended peacefully anyway.
Honestly, I still prefer that they cower in fear rather than making them get cocky and attempt to somehow convince me and use me for some nefarious motive or plan.
With that said and done, the Gray Gates located in Egypt didn't disappear though, but they reduced in size quite a lot. I created an alliance with the hunters of Egypt, and their politicians agreed to invest in more security, leaving large quantities of hunters near these giant gates.
If anything comes out of them again, it'll be swiftly reported, so that's good at least.
After everything that happened, we moved back to my Golden Pagoda, where I met with my family, who had been training there and enjoying the luxury of this gigantic temple I've built.
My mother and my sister didn't participate in the battle mostly because of my requests; they were strong, but I wanted them to be even stronger; risking their lives there wasn't affordable for the moment.
"Hah, finally back. What an annoying day this has been."
I sighed in relief as I entered the Pagoda and walked towards the large living room, where I found several tables lined up together and a huge feast served on top of them.
"Ooh? What's this?"
I found Merkite and Urbosa walking out of the kitchen carrying more stuff; their tails began wagging immediately after noticing I was back home.
"Ah, honey! Welcome back!"
"You've worked hard; well done."
"Ah, thank you. It's nice to be back; it has only been a day, but I missed you two."
I ended receiving their hugs and kisses happily, embracing them in a big hug.
"I missed you too; we made you a big feast!" said Urbosa, kissing my lips in between words. "I think you need to rest for now, alright? You've done too much."
"Yeah, sis is right." Merkite nodded, kissing my neck and then my lips, taking turns with her sister. "Let's take a break, alright?"
"Yes, yes, I know. Thank you for the food; it looks very delicious already!" I nodded, feeling immediately healed with their fluffy love.
I caressed their soft fur and their big, fluffy tails and immediately felt relaxed. This, accompanied by their kisses and snuggles, made me feel back in heaven.
Damn, I can't believe I've missed this back in Murim. Maybe I would have been much happier if I had a wife or two.
But maybe it wouldn't even have been possible either way, with so many threats I couldn't handle all the time.
And even when I reached the pinnacle, the creep of the Heavenly Will was there, always watching. I didn't want to make him see any weakness within me.
Well, Murim is already behind me now, so I shouldn't worry for the moment.
"I love you two so much. Thank you for being with me." I sighed as I kissed their little snouts. "You're my treasures."
"B-Bing Xue…"
"Dear…"
They blushed, feeling a bit flattered by my words and even more embarrassed. Merkite ended up covering her face in embarrassment, actually.
"Geez! You have to say that out of nowhere?"
"A-Ah, yes, it was a bit surprising."
"What's so surprising? Can't I love my beautiful wives?" I giggled, caressing their heads. "Now let's eat; I'm starving!"
I wasn't actually starving; I don't think I can. But I did feel a bit of hunger, or the desire to eat, and feel my stomach full.
"Sure, sit down and enjoy! We'll join you with the other girls after a minute; we're still preparing something else," said Merkite.
"Yeah!" Urbosa nodded. "Hey! Fiery Hair! Mursha? Is it ready yet?"
Ohh! My two other girls must be cooking as well. I don't think I've ever tasted food made by Fiery Hair before though! The girls must have taught her how to cook.
I walked to the kitchen right behind them to spy a little, finding the two cute giantesses doing their best in the kitchen.
"No wait, Fiery Hair, that's not salt; that's sugar; this is salt," said Mursha. "Now add a tiny little bit—not that much!"
"Hmm… Cooking is… hard…" Fiery Hair furrowed her eyebrows, slightly frustrated. "But Fiery Hair wants… Bing Bing happy! Must cook something yummy!"
"Yes, yes, this stir-fried rice with chicken already looks quite yummy, Fiery Hair, so you've done a good job," nodded Mursha. "But you lack… should I say dexterity? With your hands in terms of handling little things. You have to practice more. From today we'll be cooking together, alright?"
"Okay," nodded Fiery Hair, smiling a bit. "Thank you for helping Fiery Hair… Fiery Hair is clumsy… but Mursha is nice and teaches well. Mursha is a good friend."
"Aww, aren't you cute?" giggled Mursha. "Let's do our best for our wife, alright? I'm sure if you cook her something tasty today, she'll mate with you tonight. The best way to charm your lover is through the stomach!"
"Yes!" nodded Fiery Hair. "I'll mate no matter what! Fiery Hair wants babies too!" she said while looking at Mursha's belly.
"Hahah, don't put it like that; it's embarrassing." Mursha giggled, gently patting her belly.
The moment I entered, they noticed me though.
"Oh! Dear! You're back!" Mursha said with her strong voice, walking towards me and giving me an even stronger hug. "You've been out a whole day!"
"Yeah, sorry," I nodded. "I couldn't leave Doppelgangers because they were busy elsewhere."
"Looking for the spider?" wondered Mursha.
"Yep, that's right," I nodded. "Still trying to figure out where she hid."
"Spider… dangerous," said Fiery Hair. "But that doesn't matter now! Love matters more, Bing Bing. Fiery Hair missed you."
Fiery Hair then hugged me as well, giving me several kisses all over my face and then a rather passionate kiss on my lips, with her tongue in between.
"Hmm, Fiery Hair loves kissing wife," she smiled, patting my head. "Wife too beautiful!"
"Heheh, am I?" I winked at her. "You're beautiful too, Fiery Hair! I noticed you've been cooking with the girls; well done! I'm sure you'll get the gist of it eventually."
"Oooh! Yes! Fiery Hair cooked rice and bird! Wife wants some? Fiery Hair made plenty for everyone!" Fiery Hair smiled cutely.
For being a big, burly giantess that might intimidate many, she's such a cutie deep down.
"Sure!" I nodded. "Ah, where's my mom and my sister though? And Hekita and the rest?"
"Ah, they already had their meals," said Merkite.
"They said it was okay for us to have a meal with just you, dear," Urbosa smiled.
"Ooh! I see, then it's a romantic dinner, hm? I'll change into something nicer then," I giggled.
With a simple thought, my body was encompassed by light, and my clothes disappeared as new ones materialized, taking the form of a long silver-colored dress, something more of the style of modern Earth this time, with black heels.
"Ooohh!"
"So pretty!"
Urbosa and Merkite wagged their tails as they saw my clothes transform, glancing all over my body, especially my chest and then my hips.
"That dress doesn't leave much for the imagination though." Merkite muttered while blushing.
"I-Indeed…" Urbosa nodded.
"Fufu, I'm glad you like it~" I winked at them. "And about my hair… I'm a bit tired of having it tied all the time so…"
I took out all my ornaments and let my long ponytail go wild; finally, all my hair was let loose, flowing down like streams of liquid silver that went down my body, shining with a slightly metallic sheen.
"Oh yes, this is much better! Phew…" I felt so happy after finally letting this hair go free.
"Bing Bing keeps getting prettier every day!" Fiery Hair said.
"She's indeed a beauty," Mursha nodded. "A-Am I even allowed to be with her?"
"Hahaha, enough with that girls," I giggled. "Let's go eat for now!"
As we set up everything for dinner and then we finally went to sit down, we talked about a few other things as well.
"Merneith?" I wondered as Urbosa asked about her. "She stayed back in El Cairo for the night; she might stay there a couple of days if she wants to. I can't really force her to come with us. Although she said she wanted a date with me… She's very attached to that city and its people, and also Sara and the rest of the Hunters will be there for her. We need to discuss something important later though, so I'll call her over."
"Ah, I see!" nodded Urbosa. "I had imagined she might have tried seducing you… She's a beautiful girl, but I guess she wasn't as aggressive in her approach?"
"Well, she invited me to a bar to drink some wine and eat some food," I said. "She wouldn't stop praising my beauty… But after that, she said she wanted to stay there, so I didn't pursue the situation. I don't know what's in her mind most of the time; she's quite unpredictable."
"She really is," Merkite nodded. "I suppose it's fine if that happened then! I didn't really have the mood to share you with anybody else than us."
"Yeah, you're ours tonight," Mursha smiled, drinking some beer. "Fiery Hair also wants, you know what."
"A-Ah, I see!" I giggled, feeling a bit embarrassed. "By the heavens, let's eat and enjoy what you made first! Then we can concentrate on the rest, alright?"
We sat down to enjoy the food, and I was greeted with a surprising arrangement of meals from the cultures of the orcs from Mursha's tribe and the beast people of Urbosa and Merkite's tribe.
Fiery Hair had also prepared a really nice-looking chicken fried rice with eggs and lots of stir-fried veggies to accompany it; they were cut in funny chunks because she tried her best to cut them delicately.
Urbosa and Merkite offered me fried rolls filled with meat from their original world's game and also vegetables and seeds they gathered.
It was a wonderful combination of flavors, and the rolls were similar to spring rolls but much crunchier and delicious.
They also offered me a nice and comforting soup made of the bones of several different creatures with potatoes, carrots, and small rice-like seeds they eat.
It was a comforting meal.
"Do you like it? We put our heart into this." Urbosa smiled.
"It's really good! Are these recipes from your family? Haven't tried these before." I said.
"Yep, grandma gave us a few recipes that she used to prepare for us," Merkite giggled.
They were also stuffing themselves, eating a lot of what they prepared; they had voracious appetites, but I wouldn't want them any other way.
"Alright, time for something big too! Eat up!"
Mursha placed half a whole roasted boar on the table, which was nicely seasoned, with caramelized and crunchy skin and very soft meat.
"Hmm! So delicious!" I took a huge leg and started eating delicately. "The seasoning you used is amazing; sometimes it feels spicy, sweet, and sour… but the flavors don't contrast at all and make the boar meat even more flavorful."
"Yep! That's ye good old recipe from my mom!" she nodded. "It's called Valhalla Boar! We eat these by the dozens after a big battle. My dad loved these, and mom would make like three for the whole family; he ate one and a half himself!"
"Is that so? I can see where you got that huge appetite then, dear," I giggled. "I wish I could have met your parents; they sound like wonderful people."
"Thank you…" Mursha smiled. "They indeed were good people."
"Bing Bing! Are you not trying Fiery Hair's meal?" wondered Fiery Hair, looking all sad. "Please try it a bit!"
"A-Ah! Yes, I'm sorry, my love; there's just so much to eat. I'll try it right away!" I said. "Gimme!"
"Here!" she happily said, placing a huge bowl of her rice. "Fiery Hair added bird… bird from home. Big bird, scaled bird!"
"Wait, you mean the huge dinosaurs?!" I wondered. "Ooh! Dinosaur meat… Did I try this out before? I think we didn't…"
So the "chicken" she added ended being of some sort of Tyrannosaurus rex with large feathers, which Fiery Hair called "bird," which was a bit hilarious.
The rice was nice and tasty, and Mursha added some of her special spices, so it was amazing. Then the veggies were nicely cooked and crunchy, and then the meat.
"Hm?! This is definitely not just like chicken… slightly harder texture like red meat but… very tasty," I nodded. "Like a mix between red and white meat."
"Yeah, it's really tasty! I would say this is your best meal so far, Fiery Hair!" said Mursha, laughing heartily.
"Fiery Hair is so happy!" Her eyes were shining brightly. "Wife loves Fiery Hair meals?"
"I do! It's lovely, well done!" I nodded, praising her.
"Fiery Hair loves wife!" She happily said, hugging me and kissing me all over my face.
"Ahahah! W-Wait Fiery Hair! I'm eating right now…"
These four girls are so lovely and mean so much for me it's almost scary.
They bring color to my life and have been healing my mind from all the horrors and hardships I had to endure in Murim.
I'm truly grateful for being loved and also… for loving them too.
"I love you all so much… Thank you for everything," I sighed as I finished my meals after an hour or so.
"B-Bing Xue…"
"Geez, again with that!"
"Hmm, it seems we've conquered her heart, Fiery Hair! Now's your chance!"
"Oohh! Wife, come! Let's mate!"
Suddenly, Fiery Hair grabbed me and carried me to bed!
"Eh?! Fiery Hair?!"
I should have expected this!
