~8 min read 1,439 words

Three days later, at the grand wedding, Shen Tianxing wore a groom's outfit; beside the red silk ribbon stood five brides each holding the red silk ribbon, and Shen Tianxing felt deeply moved, as he was still short of two to have three wives and four concubines.

"One bow to heaven and earth."

As the master of ceremonies' voice sounded, the entire venue fell silent; Shen Tianxing, with his five wives, knelt down to bow to heaven and earth.

Seated in the places of honor were five people: Yang Tieqiang, Yue Yunyang, Li Xiao Ling, Yang Xingzhao, and Fan Shaoyang.

After the second bow to the parents and the couple's mutual bow ended, Shen Tianxing led his five wives forward to offer tea; everyone else took only a sip, but the most steadfast Yang Xingzhao gulped down six cups of tea in one go.

After the master of ceremonies escorted them into the bridal chamber, Shen Tianxing brought his five brides to his villa, which he had situated on a large plot of land he had reclaimed behind the original Governor's Mansion.

Furthermore, before the villa was set up, Shen Tianxing summoned Zhou Yu and Zhu Zhishan to put on a mystical display; afterward, a villa descended from the sky, allowing all the residents of Leiming City to see it clearly.

Thus, the common folk began spreading the word everywhere: Shen Tianxing was the Son of Heaven; even before his wedding, Heaven had bestowed upon him a gift—a house that had never been built before.

After the brides entered the villa, Shen Tianxing came out to greet the guests; besides those from the Governor's Mansion, he specially went out to offer a toast to the townspeople, for this grand wedding was likewise a city-wide celebration, even larger than before.

Including the other four cities, there were likewise flowing banquet tables, which cost a great deal of silver; of course, this silver was originally embezzled by the prefects of the four cities.

Under the same policy, with many taxes reduced and relief efforts, and with people dispatched to help reclaim fertile fields, the wedding banquet entertained the entire populace of Leizhou, and even the townsfolk each received a string of silver as congratulatory money.

In a short time, the entire populace of Leizhou was deeply moved, and many even decided to join the army, for they understood that someone like Shen Tianxing, having become the ruler of the world, was their honor.

The wedding feast continued until the second watch of that night, when everyone had eaten and drunk their fill; they then went upstairs, and Shen Tianxing also came to the master bedroom on the second floor of the villa, where the large bed could accommodate seven or eight people, and they all slept under the same quilt.

"Five ladies, your husband has come!"

Shen Tianxing opened the door and saw six brides sitting on the bed; he felt a mix of laughter and tears, the sixth being Hong Yi, who had come just to join the fun.

"You're going a bit overboard, joining in any kind of fun; I came to my wedding pretending to be a bride, not that I dislike it, but the point is you lack that function—surely I can't let you participate, just observe."

Shen Tianxing conveyed these words naturally through thought, mainly because the others basically couldn't see Hong Yi's existence; the system's built-in lack of presence meant that only Shen Tianxing could perceive her.

"Haven't you heard of Plato? This is still me searching in your memory; besides, I'm not vying for favor—what's wrong with taking on the title of your wife? Moreover, isn't observing more stimulating?"

Well, Shen Tianxing was speechless; although he felt a bit guilty, he also tacitly accepted it. Subsequently, Shen Tianxing quickly stepped forward, and at the moment he raised his hand, he employed the Light Wave Tiny Step.

All five veils were lifted in an instant, and the five great beauties, blushing, looked at Shen Tianxing and in unison gave him a disdainful look.

"Are you sure you can handle it? We are five people after all." This was said by Yang Hongyue; after she spoke, Yue Qingxue also chimed in.

"Why don't I go to the adjacent room first, and you all go ahead?"

"Actually, the husband is fine; we can all stay, believe me." Qin Mingyue, who understood Shen Tianxing best, spoke up for him.

"I think it should be fine; otherwise, we could all stay."

Yang Hongxiu's voice was as tiny as a mosquito's, yet everyone heard it, and their faces grew even redder.

"This bed is so big; it's not like we can't fit—why would we leave?"

As expected, the purest one is Zhao Lingfei, mainly because no one has explained things to her.

"Don't worry; at worst I won't sleep tonight. Let's begin—are you ready?"

Shen Tianxing wore a wicked grin, full of confidence; after saying that, he took the lead and charged toward Yang Hongyue, followed by the screams of the five great beauties.

Moreover, thanks to the villa's excellent soundproofing, otherwise the nearby residents would surely have spent a sleepless night; the rising and falling, high-pitched sounds—life's joy is nothing more than this.

Anyway, by the time it was fully daylight, Shen Tianxing's five wives were sound asleep; as for Shen Tianxing seeing that his stamina had dropped to only one-third, he also found it hard to believe.

"Don't be afraid, just eat a Wangwang Snow Cake; besides, once you break through to the rank of Grand Master, your stamina will at least be enough for over ten, and even if it isn't, eating a few more Snow Cakes will see you through."

Hong Yi laughed and teased; she had indeed been observing the whole process, occasionally even offering guidance, and was quite on point, leaving Shen Tianxing to wonder whether this Subsystem was actually a human transformation—she understood even more than he did.

However, Shen Tianxing later came to understand: mainly because he had seen plenty in his previous life, the system had completely probed into the evolution of his memories, and Hong Yi's extensive knowledge was therefore normal.

After noon passed, Shen Tianxing finally rose; lunch had already been prepared, made by the two equipped intelligent robots, which were very basic but quite advanced in terms of intelligence for domestic robots.

This was provided as part of the system's package; they had no offensive capability whatsoever, and the combined load-bearing capacity of their two hands was only 50 kilograms, and their exterior was coated entirely in silicone, making them look like humans in every way—one male, one female, named Xiao Ming and Xiao Hong.

But this is not the most important; the most important is that the fully intelligent villa supplies food each day commensurate with the number of residents, some from this world, some from Shen Tianxing's original world.

In any case, to activate this function, one must deduct one or two taels of silver and a bit of Killing Value each day; for Shen Tianxing now, that is a trifle, so he naturally activated this function.

"Ladies, it's time to get up and have a meal."

Xiao Hong stood at the door of the master bedroom and lightly knocked, then spoke in a very gentle voice; although Yang Hongyue and the others were fatigued, they still got up one after another, only their gait looked a bit odd.

Although Yang Hongyue and her three companions were experiencing this for the first time and had a martial arts foundation, they ultimately couldn't hold up, their steps were a bit wobbly and uncoordinated; only Qin Mingyue had already adapted, and her walk remained fairly steady.

"You got up so early—I'm truly impressed; aren't you tired? You're up this early to eat breakfast, and by the way, your two servants Xiao Ming and Xiao Hong look rather strange."

Yang Hongyue was the first to sit down slowly, picked up a fried dough stick and took a bite; the more she ate, the more fragrant it became, and she casually asked this question, while the others all wore expressions of curiosity.

"You can understand it this way: the two of them are not actually real people, but puppets made of steel; they can take over all the household chores, so you don't have to do anything—just eat and sleep."

Moreover, this villa has many other novel functions; after the meal I will give you a detailed introduction, guaranteeing that once you learn it, no matter how busy you are, you will find time to rest properly in the villa.
