Chapter 174: Tattered Map [1]

The soft, ambient warmth of afternoon light spilled through the velvet curtains, bathing the grand chamber in a dim, golden hue.

Shen Yu slowly blinked open his eyes, instantly noticing a comforting, heavy pressure settling over his bare chest.

Lixue and Yilan were draped over his torso, their soft, voluptuous figures tangled together as they rested against him. The moment his eyelids fluttered open, he was met by two pairs of gazing eyes filled with absolute, unwavering affection.

Seeing that their husband was awake, both women offered radiant, tender smiles.

Shen Yu smirked softly, a deep sense of possessive satisfaction swelling in his chest.nReaching up, he tangled his fingers gently into Lixue’s hair, pulling her face down to capture her lips in a deep, lingering morning kiss.

As they parted with a soft pop, he shifted his attention to Yilan, pressing a warm, slow kiss against the mature Matriarch’s mouth.

"Good morning, my beautiful wives," Shen Yu murmured, his raspy voice dropping into a low, affectionate register.

Lixue flushed beautifully, a playful giggle escaping her lips as she leaned her chin against his chest.

"It’s actually afternoon, Yu’er... but after last night, I don’t think any of us care about the time."

Her glazed eyes shimmered with a wicked, fond recollection. "Yesterday was... absolutely incredible. I never knew a punishment could feel so exquisite. I want us to have more threesomes like this all the time."

Yilan’s cheeks turned a delicate shade of crimson at her daughter’s blunt, shameless admission.

Though her soul was completely marked and devoted to Shen Yu, her traditional dignity made her somewhat shy about discussing the explicit details of their shared debasement in the light of day.

"Lixue, please..." Yilan whispered softly, averting her eyes momentarily before looking back at Shen Yu with deep love.

"But... she is right, Yu’er. It was beyond anything I could have imagined. As long as it pleases you, I will gladly submit to your desires."

"Good," Shen Yu replied, casually kneading their soft hips. "Because you both belong to me now, and your pleasure is my command."

Realizing the sticky remnants of their all-night session were still drying on their skin, they decided to wash away the exhaustion. Shen Yu led his two wives into the grand chamber, where a massive, steaming tub of aromatic water awaited.

The bath remained purely relaxing, a rare, tranquil interlude after the storm of passion. There were no frantic thrusts or rough handling, only gentle, intimate touches as Shen Yu lazily washed their bodies.

He pulled them close for soft, warm kisses amidst the rising steam, soothing their aching muscles and the faint bruises he had possessively left behind.

Once they were fully dressed in fresh, elegant robes, the daily affairs of the estate demanded their attention.

"I must head to the main administrative office," Yilan said, her fingers delicately adjusting her high silk collar to ensure the pulsing mark of belonging hidden between her breasts was completely concealed from the servants.

"There are several clan ledgers that require my immediate attention and seal."

Lixue stepped forward, a bright, determined smile on her face as she smoothed down her flowing robes.

"I’m coming with you, Mother. I think it’s time I learn some proper administrative work for the estate, rather than just focusing on my martial arts."

Hearing her daughter’s sudden interest in the clan’s governance, Yilan’s eyes softened, and a warm, proud smile touched her lips.

She gladly nodded and led her eager daughter out toward the main study. Shen Yu bid his two submissive wives a fond farewell, leaning back in his bed as he watched their graceful, swaying figures depart the chamber.

An hour later, Shen Yu sat comfortably within the opulent expanse of the Serene Spring Hall.

He leaned back luxuriously into his carved mahogany chair, sipping a cup of freshly brewed spiritual tea.

Standing right beside him with flawless poise and quiet grace was Li Qiu, serving perfectly in her role as his dedicated secretary. Her sharp, attentive eyes watched over the pavilion, ensuring her master’s leisure remained undisturbed.

Setting his teacup down with a soft click, Shen Yu closed his eyes and mentally called upon the interface. System, show me the quest rewards.

Instantly, a crisp, melodic chime resonated within his mind, and the two glowing, translucent black screens materialized directly before his view.

[QUEST COMPLETED!!!]

[Directive: The Matriarch’s Total Surrender.

Objective: Convince Mei Yilan to accept the Dual Cultivation cure. She must not only agree but must verbally acknowledge her status as your wife.

Reward: 1,500 Desire Points (DP), Random Lottery Ticket × 1]

A deep smirk spread across Shen Yu’s face as he stared at his newly updated interface. With these massive rewards factored in, his total accumulated wealth had finally crossed the monumental threshold of 5,000 DP.

Just as that realization surfaced in his mind, the two quest screens dissolved into glittering shards of blue light.

A sudden mechanical chime boomed inside his consciousness, and a notification forced its way to the center of his vision.

[NOTIFICATION: 5,000 DP THRESHOLD REACHED]

[Congratulations! The Primal Shop has been successfully unlocked!]

A surge of anticipation rippled through Shen Yu, but he held back his curiosity regarding the newly opened shop. Let’s test my luck first, he thought, shifting his focus to the inventory.

The moment his intent locked onto the random lottery ticket, the gold-rimmed notification shattered, and a massive, glowing celestial roulette wheel manifested before his eyes.

The wheel was divided into dozens of tiny, intricate partitions, each inscribed with glowing runes representing legendary treasures, rare pills, and forbidden techniques.

With a silent mental command, Shen Yu engaged the spin.

Whirrrrrr!

The roulette erupted into a high-speed blur, spinning faster and faster until the individual rewards melted into a continuous ring of blinding light.

After several tense moments, the momentum began to decay. The wheel clicked slower and slower, teasingly passing by high-tier spiritual weapons and ancient cultivation manuals before finally snapping to a dead halt.

The marker pointed directly to a modest, unassuming item: a fragile, ancient piece of tattered parchment.

Curious, Shen Yu mentally tapped on the artifact. The tattered paper floated to the center of his vision, and a detailed system description unfurled before him.
