Noxville, Sameran City, Netheria
Inside an underground compound built next to the Demiliore Castle in Noxville, several ladies were sprawled on the ground, panting heavily, and watching the fight that was taking place between the two ladies against a young man.
They no longer had enough strength in their bones and muscles to get up and help those two ladies, but they wished that they would manage to teach the narcissistic man a lesson.
"Get him, Amy, Ying'er!" Rebecca cheered for them as they started pressing Keith into a retreat, but she sighed in her heart when the Chinese girl was suddenly flung her way at a break-neck speed.
She had no other choice than to utilise her magic, and to the amazement and confusion of the ladies around her, she stopped Yingying right in the air.
"Instead of cheering for them, lend them a hand," Keith smirked at her. "We both know that you are only pretending to be tired."
"Hmph!" The blonde pouted, and only Kiara giggled at her reaction.
The rest were staring at her in curiosity and confusion. It was especially the case with a certain grey-eyed girl, whose heart tightened when Rebecca stood up on her feet and then rushed at Keith together with Yingying.
By the looks of it, it seemed like she had not even expended any strength in the last three hours that they had been trying to fight against him, and she was even more agile and more concentrated than before.
Qingyue had always believed that she had an edge over the blonde when it came to Cultivation, but it seemed like she had nothing over her.
For years that she had been with Rebecca, she realised that the blonde was just as good as her, and perhaps even better than her in handling business. She had witnessed Rebecca's progress with her own eyes when she played chess against Amelia, and now, she was even better than her when it came to fighting.
It did not take long for Qingyue to realise that Rebecca even surpassed her in terms of Cultivation as she saw her entire body covered in a purple Aura, which meant that she was in the True Profound Realm.
Her heart ached even more when she watched how similar in colour Rebecca's Aura was to that of Keith. It was as if they were a match made in the heavens, destined for each other.
She no longer looked at Keith, whom she was complaining about in her heart a while ago for how inhumanely agile and strong he was. All she now paid attention to was how much of a fighter Rebecca was when compared to her, and her mood soured with every passing second.
Even though she felt the lack of finesse in Rebecca's moves, the truth was that the blonde was still out there holding out for herself, and here she was, sprawled on the ground without a speck of strength left in her.
"Get him, Amy!" Kiara happily clapped when suddenly mysterious golden chains sprouted from the ground and locked Keith in his place.
The three ladies rushed at him with their Aura-covered fists in Golden, Purple, and Red colours, and the moment they were about to land on Keith, a mysterious shield of energy appeared around him, which shattered on impact, creating a crackling sound.
"You broke the rules, my dear Amy." Keith grinned when the chains around him dispersed.
Amelia simply smiled at him and then started walking away, not saying anything, and Rebecca proceeded to lead the cheers of the ladies on their win.
It was only meant to be a physical fight to test the limits of everyone, and Amelia had indeed broken the rules.
Keith sighed when he saw everyone smiling, and helplessly shook his head.
"There are some things you can only win by breaking the rules, my dear husband." Rebecca brightly smiled at him, and everyone laughed at her words.
"I am not complaining." He raised his hands in surrender and then smirked at Celine, who was wearing an aggrieved expression.
"Little Keith, you are mean! You did not even go easy on me." She pouted and wrapped her arms around her abdomen where he had punched her.
He had used great force that had knocked the breath out of her lungs, and it still hurt a little.
As soon as she raised the complaint, Kiara, Nana, and Ayesha followed her lead, and he just chuckled at their words.
Keith knew that they were just messing around and then turned to look at Qingyue.
"Do you have anything to complain about too?"
The grey-eyed girl narrowed her eyes, not looking at him, and then raised her head to look at Rebecca.
"How are you this strong? Has he been helping you in secret?"
"Maybe..." Rebecca mischievously smirked, and it managed to irritate the grey-eyed girl who glared at Keith.
"How did she do it?"
"Do what?" He raised his brow in confusion.
"She stopped Yingying midair."
Keith did not immediately answer her but kept looking into her eyes. For some reason, he could clearly tell what she was feeling, and it was overwhelming envy.
"You can not do it just yet." He gave her an answer and watched her brows visibly relax.
"Why not?"
"She is different from you. That's why." He smiled at her and playfully nudged her nose. "But in due time, you will be able to do it too."
"Is it because she is stronger than me?"
"No."
"And how is her Cultivation Realm suddenly higher than mine? Did you help her out the same way you helped Ryou and Sebastian?"
"You are asking too many questions." He lightly smiled at her, and Qingyue frowned as she lowered her head. "Help me awaken my Physique." She suddenly requested, and to her irritation and confusion, Rebecca burst into laughter as she was the only one around them who knew how exactly Keith was going to help her awaken her Physique. "What?!"
"Nothing." The blonde tried to suppress her laughter, but could not stop giggling. "There is something that Mother, Amelia, and I talked about a few days ago. Are you interested in a private wedding on your coming birthday?"
Her question took everyone by surprise, but Qingyue was taken aback the most.
"What?"
"What?" Rebecca asked back, giggling some more. "Don't want to marry my husband?"
"You..." And there was this again, the overwhelming urge to use her fist against the blonde who loved getting on her nerves, but it soon fleeted away as she kept looking at the genuine smile Rebecca was wearing on her face.
Qingyue could not help but blush, and after she sneaked a glance at Keith, she timidly nodded her head much to everyone's amusement.
All the girls smiled and then looked at Keith with searching eyes, seeking his answer. And the moment he nodded as well, Celine was the first one to jump up in excitement.
"Congratulations!" She happily hugged her daughter and then jumped into Keith's arm, kissing him on his cheek.
The rest of the ladies followed suit and Keith excused himself away from them, heading to his room to freshen up.
When he entered his room, he found his dear wife waiting for him, and without speaking any words, he walked up to her and pulled her in his arms, kissing her aggressively.
"You broke the rules."
"You were being too mean." She smiled against his lips and then clutched onto his shirt. "I need a shower..." She seductively spoke and then resumed kissing him.
Understanding her intentions, Keith happily picked her up in his arms and took her inside the dressing room, and entered the bathroom.
There was a sense of urgency between them, and even though they had spent a good part of this month in bed, making love to each other, the fire in their loins was just as bright as ever.
The poor articles of clothing on their bodies were shredded by them, and before they were even fully naked, she had pulled his hardness inside of her, locking him with her arms and legs as he pressed her against the cold wall.
Keith grunted as her warm velvety folds gripped him, and then he let himself lose as he ravaged her, pounding her insides without any restrain.
Amelia bore the ache that shot through her every time he hammered against her cervix and let her senses drown in the love and lust that he bathed her in.
Their aggressive move-making left marks all over their bodies, and nothing in the world could stop them right now from indulging in their carnal desires.
"I love you." She told him as she planted kisses all over his face, feeling his essence warming up her womb, revelling in his heat inside and outside.
"I love you too." He kisses her back on the forehead and then turned on all the shower heads before beginning to help her wash her head and body.
By the time they came out of their room, it was dinner time, and all the ladies in the Castle were inside the dining room, waiting for them.
Celine blushed when she recognised the bliss on Amelia's face, and Rebecca was bold enough to even tease the emerald-eyed girl about it.
"Had a good rest?" Keith ignored what his wives were chatting about and looked at Ingrid, who had been asleep for most of the day after ingesting his blood in the morning.
"Yes, Master." She replied.
"Keith! I love it here!" Celine suddenly spoke, and even though she had expressed her feeling about this newly built Castle several times before, all the ladies could not help but nod their heads in agreement.
It was truly a very beautiful and majestic place. And even though they had only arrived here today, they were already in love with this place and felt right at home.
"Well, you should thank Amelia for it. She designed it."
"You are welcome." The emerald-eyed girl said before the girls could even bring it up to her, and it prompted a round of giggles around the table.
"Can we do it again tomorrow?" Kiara hopefully asked, referring to the training session.
At first, all the ladies had laughed when Keith had asked them to come at him together, but it proved to be one of the most fruitful training sessions of their lives.
It was the same for the experienced ones such as Yingying and Marianne, and they too had learned a lot today.
"Not tomorrow." He shook his head. "I promised Aunt Celine to take her to Rosewich City on her birthday. We are going to attend the Arcadian Expo."
"Can we come too?" Kiara hopefully asked, but before he could answer, Rebecca interjected.
"You are coming with me tomorrow to Eden. Mother wants you to come."
"Oh. Okay!" She happily nodded her head and then chatted with Celine about all the things that were going to be showcased at the Arcadian Expo tomorrow.
Qingyue was the only one who remained silent for the duration of their meal, and Keith had caught her lost in her train of thoughts more than once in the last hour.
However, he did not call out to her. He could tell that she had started suspecting a lot of things in the last couple of months, and he was going to wait for her to come and ask him about everything on her own accord.
"Up for a walk?" He suggested after everyone finished their meal.
"Yes!" And everyone unanimously agreed to it.
