When it came down to it,

the three women still had much to learn.

But at this moment, he was completely at their mercy.

Jiang Xinghai was helpless and could only passively accept.

Zhang Rui brought out a few bottles of liquor, and the four of them drank, chatted, and joked.

At first, Shen Lingyin was just teasing him playfully, but she soon began to constantly push his boundaries.

This made Jiang Xinghai blush, and he quickly grabbed her hand. "Stop fooling around."

"Oh, I must be drunk," Shen Lingyin mumbled, pouting with hazy, drunken eyes.

She couldn’t believe her own boldness tonight. Fearing Jiang Xinghai would make fun of her, she had to pretend she was drunk.

"You all need to get some rest, otherwise..." Before Jiang Xinghai could finish, Mu Jianni sealed his lips with hers.

At the same time, her hands started roaming all over him, giving him no chance to resist.

Seeing this, Zhang Rui joined in as well.

Shen Lingyin just watched and laughed, thoroughly enjoying the scene.

In the end, outnumbered and overwhelmed, Jiang Xinghai was quickly subdued by the three women once more.

Sometimes, it wasn’t so bad to just give in and accept your fate.

...

「The next morning.」

Zhang Rui was the first to wake up.

She had to hurry back to Zhang Martial Arts Hall and bring her father and fellow disciples to live with the Shen Family.

From now on, the Zhang Martial Arts Hall would serve as the Shen Family’s guards.

’Master is so powerful. It would be wonderful if I could stay by his side forever.’ Zhang Rui thought as she dressed. She glanced at Jiang Xinghai, sleeping soundly between the other two women, then silently turned and left.

She knew her status was no match for Jiang Xinghai’s.

And so, she had never dared to hope for more.

Giving her first time to this man last night was enough for her.

Shortly after she left, Mu Jianni’s eyes opened.

In truth, she had been awake for a while.

’The Shen Family is making its mark in Central State today. I should go home first, then come back with a congratulatory gift.’

Scenes from the previous night replayed endlessly in Mu Jianni’s mind.

For her family’s sake, and for her own, she had accomplished the important task of warming Jiang Xinghai’s bed.

She only hoped she could occupy a small place in Jiang Xinghai’s heart.

Not long after Mu Jianni left,

a phone started ringing in the bedroom.

Seeing the caller ID—her father, Shen Zhengye—Shen Lingyin quickly answered. "Dad, why are you calling so early?"

"It’s not early at all! The sun’s been up for hours."

Shen Zhengye laughed heartily, then, seeming to realize his words were a bit inappropriate for his daughter, quickly corrected himself. "Oh, your mother, your sister, and I are about to arrive in Central State. Are you at school or at home?"

"I’m at home. Come on over."

The moment the words left her mouth, Shen Lingyin remembered something and whipped her head to look at her sides.

Thankfully, Zhang Rui and Mu Jianni were already gone.

But Jiang Xinghai was still there!

"I’ll talk to you later, Dad! I’ll be right down to let you in," Shen Lingyin said, hastily hanging up and scrambling to get dressed.

’Oh no, oh no!’

’My sister is coming!’

’If my sister finds out I slept with Jiang Xinghai...’

Shen Lingyin never imagined she would do something so morally questionable!

’Oh, what do I do? I can’t get over this feeling of guilt...’

Shen Lingyin got dressed and left, but after closing the door, she immediately turned back around and reopened it. "Brother Xinghai, get up! Hurry! My sister’s about to arrive."

"Alright," Jiang Xinghai replied. He had actually been awake for a while.

He had heard her entire phone conversation and was just waiting for her to leave before getting up himself.

As for Shen Lingyin’s moral dilemma, it wasn’t an issue for him.

After all, he had told Shen Zhengye and his daughter, Shen Lingxue, on more than one occasion that he couldn’t give the Shen Family a commitment right now.

The simple reason was that he had not yet achieved his two main objectives.

However, Shen Lingxue had insisted they try to produce an heir, so the two of them had to be together constantly.

Therefore, Jiang Xinghai felt he could walk away at any time without feeling too much guilt.

Of course,

outsiders might accuse him of being irresponsible and uncommitted.

But in his heart, Shen Lingxue truly held a significant place.

He didn’t feel the need to explain himself to anyone.

According to the Cultivation Skill he practiced, the more women he was with, the stronger he became. It couldn’t be helped.

If he had to take responsibility for every woman he was with, wouldn’t he have to be an ancient emperor with a massive harem?

Who in the world could claim to take responsibility for every woman they’d ever been with?

Relationships either ended amicably or with people being labeled scumbags and players; such cases were a dime a dozen.

「A little over ten minutes later.」

Outside the main gate of the Shen Family residence,

Shen Lingyin and Jiang Xinghai were waiting.

"Brother Xinghai... from now on, let’s go back to how we were... just as brother and sister," Shen Lingyin said softly, gazing into the distance.

"You mean you won’t be warming my bed anymore?" Jiang Xinghai asked.
