"I'm not afraid of anyone. Even if your whole True Dragon Clan came at me, I won't be afraid. Me and my wife are currently Martial Emperor cultivators only because we sealed our cultivation to comfortably stay in the Mortal Realm. I can't tell you my real cultivation now, that's a secret."
Scarlett was silent. Did this man just tell her that he wouldn't be afraid even against the whole True Dragon Clan!? How would she believe something like this... And...
"What does the Empress Aeriel have to do with this?"
She was curious, this man said that he said the same words to the Empress, was she also from the dragon clan?
"Well, Aeriel is also a reincarnated princess, just like yourself. But she is from the True Phoenix clan, and not your clan."
!!!!!!
What? The Empress was the princess of the True Phoenix clan? They both reincarnated? She was getting tired from the constant shocks she received. Then she thought of something...
"Then..."
"You were about to ask me if I can bring you back to your clan?" Red cut her off...
"You! How do you know!?" Scarlett wondered if this man could hear her thoughts.
"It's the same thing Aeriel asked me earlier... I naturally know what you're thinking... As for your question, no, I can't bring you back. Actually, I can, but I don't want to..."
"......" Scarlett was speechless. Was this man messing with her? She thought if he wanted something in return.
"Do you..."
"No, I don't want any rewards from you..." Red cut her off again, expecting her question.
"Y-you! At least let me speak first!"
"There is nothing you or your clan can give me that I need... Even if you agree to be my woman, I won't bring you back just like that..."
"Why?"
Red sighed... Would he need to have this same conversation with every reincarnated being he encounters in the future? He slowly explained what he told Aeriel. About how the Destiny worked, how she needs to follow her path to become stronger and everything else...
Scarlett patiently listened. She felt that he wasn't lying. But...
"But... I won't be able to reach my clan by myself... My current condition won't allow me to cultivate to higher realms. I am not even sure if I'll be able to reach the Celestial Realm by myself."
Scarlett was feeling sad now. She desperately wanted to go back to her clan. She was also a strong willed woman who participated in many wars in the past, she was well known and feared by many. She wouldn't be scared from a bit of challenge, she would even welcome it. But her current condition is tricky!
"You are worried because you were poisoned and can't cultivate normally? You are worried that you won't be able to withstand the Heavenly Tribulation to ascend to the higher realm?"
"Yes." Scarlett wasn't even surprised anymore by the amount of knowledge this man had.
"That's an easy thing to solve." Red snapped his fingers.
Scarlett was stunned again. The poison that was in her meridians for years had disappeared, just like that!? She was elated!
"Thank you! I'm grateful from the bottom of my heart! If there is anything I can do to repay you in the future, please don't hesitate to tell me!"
Red glanced at her feet again...
[Host, control yourself...]
'Cough... I wasn't thinking about anything...'
[Yes, yes...]
Scarlett raised her eyebrow. This man could even act cute sometimes?
"Do you want to touch my feet?"
"... Cough... Another time..." In the end, he couldn't refuse. But not now! Okay? Eve was already giving him a death stare!
"Okay..." Scarlett wouldn't mind letting him touch a little bit. She was startled to find that she was even slightly excited.
'System, give me a spatial ring filled with cultivation resources to help her cultivate to the Emperor Realm, also add resources to help her awaken her bloodline.'
[Host... Aren't you spoiling these women too much? They aren't even your women yet!]
'Just shut up and do it! A man needs to give in order to receive!'
[.....]
[Ding! The requested spatial ring is deposited into your system storage.]
Red took the ring from the system storage and threw it to Scarlett.
"Here, take this. I expect you to reach the Martial Emperor realm as soon as possible and make sure to unlock your bloodline while you're at it"
Scarlett caught the ring and sent her divine sense to check its contents. In the next moment, a beautiful smile bloomed across her face. Red was momentarily mesmerized.
"Why are you giving me all this? I didn't agree to become your woman yet..."
"You said it yourself... You didn't agree... Yet..."
Scarlett wore the ring on one of her fingers with a smile...
"Thank you..."
"There is no need to thank me... Cultivation resources mean nothing to me and I'm quite rich... Just ask me if you need anything else in the future."
Scarlett felt warmth in her heart. This man was helping her and giving her so much and didn't want anything in return. He wasn't even lusting after her as he refused to touch her now. But Scarlett knew that he was still interested and felt happy about it.
"There is one more thing... I'll show you something then send you back to the banquet hall, the old man must be feeling worried by now..."
Red waved his hand and took out the World Mirror from his storage, displaying a projection of the True Dragon Clan. He knew that Scarlett was worried about her clan after not being able to see them for many years. He even showed her a projection of her mother - the leader of the True Dragon Clan.
Scarlett was naturally elated and even shed some tears while watching. Red wanted to comfort her but Eve was still sitting on his lap while tightly holding him, she didn't let him move at all!
Waving his hand to send the mirror back to the system storage he said...
"Alright... That's it... Don't cry so much, tears don't suit your beautiful face... Calm down and when you're ready I'll send you back."
Scarlett hurriedly calmed down and wiped away her tears. She was also happy for receiving compliments! This man was so gentle! She couldn't believe that the man who was so terrifying earlier at the banquet could be so gentle and caring...
"Okay... I'm ready."
While she felt reluctant to leave so fast, she knew that they would see each other soon. She planned to invite him to attend the auction in two days with her later.
"Okay, see you later, little dragon." Red waved his hand and teleported Scarlett back to the banquet hall.
Having finished this, he turned towards Eve...
"My love, what are you doing?"
Eve was now grinding her perky ass on his crotch, he was finding it harder and harder to control himself! He didn't plan to take Eve this soon, they just met today and Eve was new to all of this. She only knew common knowledge of the world from what he showed her but she never experienced it.
Red was planning to spend some time with her first to get to know each other more deeply and maybe have a date or two before reaching the final step.
"Darling~. Were you also interested in that girl earlier? You already have me and you met that girl, Aeriel, earlier today and now you want another girl?"
Eve was very jealous now. As a good wife she wouldn't interrupt her darling's conversation with others but that didn't mean she liked it! She was very possessive of her darling!
"You are right, my dear. Those two are very special and I want them to become my women. Even I am surprised that I met all of you on the same day. But don't worry, my love, your husband isn't planning to have too many women in the future. And you will always be my first."
He really didn't plan to have too many women. Even he felt surprised that he met these women in one day. There shouldn't be so many women in the future who are so beautiful and special, right?
[......]
Eve still wasn't happy, but she calmed down when she heard that she will always be the first!
"Then, darling, what about that other girl - Molly?"
"Molly? I have no thoughts about her for now..."
Red really didn't have much thoughts about her for now. She was indeed pretty and talented, but that was it. She wasn't as special as the other two girls... He would just let the nature take its course.
"What are we going to do now, darling?~"
"Hmm... It's getting late, let's go to sleep and tomorrow I'll take you out to the city for a date."
"Okay, darling.~" Eve was naturally happy.
Picking up Eve in a princess carry, Red started walking towards the bedroom. Today was a long day and, even though he didn't need to sleep at all anymore with his powers, he didn't want to break his habits yet.
Entering the bedroom he placed Eve on the corner of the bed, then remembered that he didn't buy her any clothes! He decided to do it tomorrow.
"I'm sorry, dear, we don't have any clothes for you. We will buy some tomorrow."
"But darling, I don't need to buy clothes. These clothes are made from my chaos energy, I can change into anything I want."
Red slapped his forehead. He kept forgetting that Eve could do that, he even kept forgetting that he himself could do that.
"Okay. You need to change your clothes when we go to sleep, we can't sleep in the same clothes we usually wear."
"Okay, darling.~"
Saying that, Eve's clothes started changing.
In the next moment, Red's eyes went wide as he saw her wearing a sleek, black silk nightgown that was almost fully transparent. She was basically naked at this point. He could see her perky breasts and perfect nipples beneath the nightgown and she wore a black lace panties below.
Red was starting to lose his composure. This was a heavy blow to his self-control!
"Eve, my dear, please change that nightgown. It can't be transparent!"
Red still didn't want to take her as he planned to get to know her better first and take her out on some dates. But this look was breaking him! If she wore this to sleep, he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to control himself.
"Darling... You don't like me?"
Eve was feeling down at the moment. She wondered if she should change her appearance, but her current appearance was her natural appearance. Still, if her darling didn't like it, she would change it!
"It's quite the opposite, my love. I like you too much and if you stay like this I'll lose my control. But it's not the right time for that yet..." Red patted her head gently.
"O-okay, darling.~"
Eve was immediately elated. Though she wanted to do this and that with her darling right now, she understood his meaning. She immediately changed her nightgown to be fully black without transparency.
Red focused on himself next. He tried to control his chaos energy to change his clothes. He imagined himself wearing a pair of black boxers. In the next moment, his clothes started disintegrating and he was left standing with only a pair of black boxers.
'I forgot that my clothes weren't made of chaos energy and I destroyed them in the process... But it doesn't matter, from now on I'll just always make clothes from my chaos energy.'
[That's the better option, Host. Clothes from your chaos energy can't be destroyed unless a stronger cultivator from the upper realms attacked you. Though this system has a certain security feature - if anyone with a stronger cultivation attacked you, your cultivation would instantly be unlocked to match the cultivation of the attacker. In the same realm you are invincible.]
'Smart thinking, system. I like that.'
Looking back at Eve, Red saw her staring at him with a blush on her face. His appearance was a lady-killer after his bloodline awakening.
Eve couldn't stop staring. She stood up, approached him and ran her soft palm from his chest down his abs.
"My dear, don't tease me now. I'm already on the verge of losing my self control."
Eve looked down and saw a big bulge on his boxers. She blushed even more and stopped touching him. She felt that if she continued, she would have lost her self-control too.
Red picked her up, climbed the bed and walked a few steps to get to the center of the bed, then placed her down and lay beside her. The bed was that big! He needed to walk on it to reach the center!
He lay on his back, hugged Eve with one of his hands and took the silk quilt to cover them. Eve nestled her head on his chest and hugged him, trying to avoid the bulge on his boxers.
Slowly, they drifted off to sleep...
