Lan An's Quarters, A Night of Bonds

"Tuo Mei, it's me," Lan An knocked softly.

"Come in, Master," Bai Su Mei's gentle voice replied.

Lan An smiled, stepping inside to find two stunning beauties chatting face-to-face.

"Zhu Luan's here too?" Lan An wasn't surprised. The two had grown as close as sisters, often inseparable.

"Come, Husband," Li Zhu Luan beckoned with a radiant smile.

Like Mu Zi Yin, both women glowed with a mature charm, their youthful faces enriched by Lan An's devoted attention, exuding an ethereal grace.

Lan An sank onto the bed, and the two nestled into his arms, their warmth soothing.

Li Zhu Luan's delicate fingers traced his chest, her nose twitching as she caught a feminine scent. She teased, "Did Master satisfy you?"

Lan An pinched her pert nose, feigning a scold. "You little vixen, not afraid Tuo Yin'll spank you for that?"

"Pfft, with Husband protecting me, what's to fear?" Li Zhu Luan giggled.

"Master, have you set your sights on Patriarch Liu?" Bai Su Mei asked, hugging his waist, curious.

"What's that nonsense?" Lan An's heart skipped, masking it with calm.

"Hmph, even without my bond with you, I can tell. Your eyes on Patriarch Liu are… special," Li Zhu Luan pouted, a hint of jealousy.

Lan An chuckled at their antics, probing, "And if I have taken a liking to her?"

The two exchanged glances, then grinned, saying in unison, "We'll help you win her, haha!"

"Not jealous?" Lan An raised an eyebrow, surprised.

"Pfft, jealousy's not my job. I'm not the main wife," Li Zhu Luan smirked. Her father, a Spirit Transformation patriarch, had multiple wives, so she was unfazed by Lan An's charm.

Bai Su Mei gave him an odd look, her voice confident. "If you like her, I'll round up every beauty in the world for you."

Lan An's mouth twitched. His modern mindset had slipped out, asking such a question. In this world, strength silenced critics, and his conquests were idolized.

Seeing their misty eyes and alluring breaths, Lan An playfully pinned them to the bed, kissing their fragrant lips in turn. "My darlings, a spring night's worth gold. Let's not waste it."

"Mm, Tuo Mei's ready, Master," Bai Su Mei murmured, nuzzling his chest.

"Husband, be rough tonight. I love it," Li Zhu Luan purred, licking her lips seductively.

Lan An laughed heartily, shedding their robes, embracing his two soft beauties, and diving into a passionate night.

One dragon, two phoenixes—a harmonious dance of love and desire, too vibrant to describe.

As dawn neared, three sweat-slicked bodies lay entwined, Bai Su Mei and Li Zhu Luan smiling contentedly, heads on Lan An's chest. His pride swelled, the turmoil from Liu Shi Qin's gaze fading.

"Open the Lucky Shop," Lan An commanded, mood buoyant.

The system displayed his Prestige Points: 119,070. Nearly 120,000 a staggering sum.

No surprise, though. Ping An City's crowd, though smaller than Ling Wu City's, had witnessed his brazen display, their envy fueling his points.

The first five items were lackluster. "Refresh," Lan An said.

"Ding! Refreshed successfully, -1,000 points."

"Keep refreshing," he waved, flush with wealth.

After ten refreshes, his face soured. A million points gone, and nothing worthwhile. "Damn, my luck's trash," he muttered.

"One more," he gritted.

"Ding! Refreshed successfully, -1,000 points."

The new items eased his frown:

White Horse Battle Robe: Middle Heaven-Grade Armor, 9,000 points. Tearless Mask: Lower Earth-Grade Artifact, 2,500 points. Shadow Cloak: Supreme Earth-Grade Armor, 5,000 points. Bamboo Leaf Soft Palm: Supreme Earth-Grade Technique, 5,000 points. Fire Spirit Herb: Lower Mysterious-Grade Herb, 500 points.

Ignoring the herb, Lan An bought the rest, mentally allocating: Shadow Cloaks for Bai Su Mei and Li Zhu Luan, White Horse Battle Robe for himself, Tearless Mask for one of them, and Bamboo Leaf Soft Palm for Li Zhu Luan.

"Refresh again," he pressed, seeking a sword for Mu Zi Yin—Heaven-Grade at least.

After six more refreshes, his breath caught. A purple wooden sword gleamed, radiating power.

"Purple Wood Sword: Supreme Heaven-Grade Artifact, 13,000 points."

Surpassing even his Big Dipper Bow. "Buy it!" Lan An snapped.

Five more refreshes yielded another Tearless Mask and a Supreme Earth-Grade movement technique, Star Wander Step. Satisfied, he stopped, preserving his points.

"What's on your mind, Husband?" Li Zhu Luan asked, noticing his silence.

"Got gifts for my queens," Lan An said mysteriously.

"Where? Show us!" They perked up, not for greed but for the joy of his gifts.

"To the Spirit Realm Pearl first," Lan An said, scooping up their bare forms, vanishing into the pearl.

Mu Zi Yin lounged in the Elysium Spring, her body still tingling from Lan An's touch, blushing at the thought of a child. Could I be pregnant? A child with him would be bliss.

Space rippled, and three naked figures appeared. "Tch, what's this?" Mu Zi Yin huffed, flushing.

"Haha, Husband's got gifts, Master Sister! Come up!" Li Zhu Luan beamed, waving.

"Cheeky girl, calling me Master Sister? Such a mess," Mu Zi Yin scolded playfully, stepping out.

Her curves swayed, her full breasts bouncing, drawing Bai Su Mei and Li Zhu Luan's envious glances.

"No need for jealousy. I love your figures too," Lan An soothed, caressing their chests.

"Hmph, massage mine more, Husband. I want them like Master's," Li Zhu Luan pouted.

"Me too," Bai Su Mei chimed.

"No problem," Lan An grinned.

"Shameless, all of you! You've corrupted them," Mu Zi Yin chided, pinching Lan An's thigh as punishment.

"Alright, my treasures, sit. Time for gifts," Lan An pulled them into a circle.

Mu Zi Yin smoothed her wet hair, eyes sparkling with anticipation.

Lan An unbound his Shadow Cloak, severing its blood tie, and handed it to Bai Su Mei. He produced another for Li Zhu Luan.

"Husband, isn't this yours?" they gasped.

"I've got a new disguise," Lan An said, adding two Tearless Masks. "These cloaks hide your beauty from prying eyes below Void Refinement."

Mu Zi Yin nodded. "They often veil, but strong foes can pierce disguises. These cloaks ensure safety."

"Exactly. No one's ogling my women," Lan An said. The two accepted, binding the items.

"Traveling the world just got easier," Li Zhu Luan sighed. Her beauty often drew trouble.

Bai Su Mei, raised in seclusion, was oblivious to her allure.

"My gift?" Mu Zi Yin extended her hand.

"Patience, darling," Lan An teased, pinching her cheek, producing two jade slips. "Star Wander Step, Supreme Earth-Grade movement, for Tuo Mei." He handed Bai Su Mei the white slip.

She took it, her face glowing with joy.

"Bamboo Leaf Soft Palm, Supreme Earth-Grade technique, for Zhu Luan." He gave Li Zhu Luan the green slip.

"Husband, I love you!" Li Zhu Luan hugged him, playfully kissing his thigh.

"Where's mine?" Mu Zi Yin demanded, eyes blazing.

"How could I forget my queen?" Lan An grinned. With a thought, a purple wooden sword materialized, its amethyst hilt glinting, its blade thin as a willow, humming with power. The Spirit Realm Pearl's space quivered.

"Darling… is this for me?" Mu Zi Yin's voice trembled, her eyes locked on the sword, chest heaving.

"Yes. Purple Wood Sword, Supreme Heaven-Grade," Lan An confirmed.

"What?!" The three gasped. Even Eighth-Grade sects rarely wielded such treasures.

"It's too precious…" Mu Zi Yin's eyes misted, lips quivering.

"You're my wife. We're one. Besides, I need you to strut for me," Lan An said, winking.

"I love you," Mu Zi Yin sobbed, tears of joy falling, pressing her bare form against him. She kissed him fiercely, then joined Li Zhu Luan in tender devotion.

Bai Su Mei claimed his lips, unwilling to be outdone.

One dragon, three phoenixes—a springtime of boundless love.

Exhausted but radiant, the women released Lan An, their beauty enhanced by joy, their spirits soaring.

"Zhu Luan, Tuo Mei, cultivate your new techniques," Lan An said, turning to business.

They nodded, dripping blood onto the jade slips, absorbing the knowledge, and entering seclusion.

Mu Zi Yin took a deep breath, clutching Lan An's arm, eyeing the floating Purple Wood Sword. "Darling, a Supreme Heaven-Grade… will it accept me?"

"Relax. As my wife, it wouldn't dare refuse," Lan An teased, patting her hip.

Thanks to their dual cultivation with the Dragon Immortal Sacred Canon, their yin energy had transformed into immortal qi, elevating their talent. Even Spirit-Grade artifacts would bow to them, per Kim Nhi's insight.

Mu Zi Yin dripped blood onto the sword. It hummed briefly, then nestled obediently in her hand. She swung lightly, rippling the Spirit Realm Pearl's space, nearly tearing it.

"The might of a Supreme Heaven-Grade?" Mu Zi Yin whispered, awed by the sword's data flooding her mind.

"How's it feel, love?" Lan An asked, smiling.

"Half your Prestige Points came from me. This is nothing," he thought, proud.

"With Purple Wood Sword, I can defeat Late-Stage Spirit Transformation and hold my own against Perfection briefly," Mu Zi Yin said, brimming with confidence.

"Haha, that's my queen!" Lan An hugged her waist, laughing. Who dares mess with me now? My wife'll cut them down!
