Chapter 42 Worried Wives.
42 Worried Wives.
A wide smile automatically bloomed on my tense face as I saw the system's rewards.
'Nice with 55 years of cultivation, I don't believe I can't break into the foundation realm in one big sweep. Who says the lowest talent can't cultivate.'
Next, I spontaneously checked the affection panel. There was no issue with Xenia and Saharika, but the -80 number in front of Angela made me remember the white-eyed-wold I had brought along.
Xenia and Saharika, now that the troublemaker Leona has run away, too, noticed the presence of an excellent girl.
Women have a very advanced talent when it comes to the word beauty.
Their sixth sense instantly screamed: A vixen who can seduce their Shenshah.
Angela could very well feel the hostility emitting from their eyes. She helplessly waved her right hand and chuckled.
"Hello, I am Angela."
I knew it was time for a formal introduction.
"She is someone I found while returning from the sect. Her parents were killed overnight by the bandits. She said she would commit suicide if I didn't let her follow me."
I sighed as I explained slowly.
Xenia and Saharika's eyes softened as they felt their husband's heart was too kind. This vixen clearly wants to deceive him. Why will a random girl out of the blue pop up and follow a married man to his home?
No matter how sophisticated the sect master Naagina's planning was, Angela was a novice actor after all. The way she approached Shenshah and came with him to his house missed too many steps. A suspicion was bound to arise, but Angela was too overconfident to doubt her so-called professional acting.
"Yes, that's right! The moment I first saw this man, I fell in love at first sight."
"I have decided: If I can't marry him, I will commit suicide. Then you guys will be responsible for my death."
By the end of her sentence, her voice became shaky and weak.
Acting must be done to the fullest, after all!
"Angela, you go to the extreme side room on the right side and rest properly. There is a bed and other necessities in that room already. The bathroom is a common shared one in front of the courtyard. When it's time to eat, someone will call you."
Looking at her adamant posture, I further added.
I decided to let her stay in the guest room for the timing as there were no other available vacancies.
I used the same card she was selling.
'Yeah, all women will naturally feel reluctant to share their man with one more woman. Let him do the explaining. I will sleep leisurely. It's been so long since I came out of the sect. Since my cultivation is locked, walking downhill hurriedly exhausted all my strength. My legs are sore…. I must get a proper sleep.'
"I am tired, and my legs are sore. Shenshah, you better explain the matter of marriage to both of your wives. I am going to sleep for some time."
Angela spoke rudely before leaving the courtyard.
She never thought her diligent plan to ruin Shenshah had long been leaked by his almighty system.
"Shenshah, will you marry her? You have just met her. Look at her seductive face like a fox. She is after your money."
"Yeah, look how proud she is. She spoke so whimsically and had no manners as well as no respect. See how shamelessly and worry-free she went to take a nap after coming to a new house as we owe her something."
Xenia and Saharika spoke one after another, the worry on their faces even more profound.
Seeing them sour like this, I quickly ensured the door to Angela's room was closed. To be extra sure, I took both of them to my and Saharika's room before shutting the door properly.
The moment I closed the door, the system's lovely notification ran in my head.
[The system noticed that the host has accepted the side mission regarding Angela.]
[To encourage the host to take on more side missions in the future and boost the host's morale, two rewards for task completion are issued in advance.]
[Rewards issued- 1. Increase in overall talent from F+ to C+.]
[2. Antivirus, Anti-Malware and Anti-Spyware technology issued.]
The surprise came too suddenly, but important things still need to be done first.
'System, store the first reward in the system space while directly activating the second reward.'
[Understood, Antivirus, Anti-Spyware and Anti-Malware technology activated for the host and his core family members.]
With this, I had an extra layer of insurance about my safety.
Looking at Shenshah, who was smiling so merrily. Xenia and Saharika looked at each other. The wariness in their eyes was aroused to the fullest.
The sisters seemed to have a tacit-understanding: that witch Angela already enchanted their husband with her beauty.
Looking at their sad faces, I laughed.
I was sure my following words were enough to make their shoulders cold.
"Oye…it's not what you are thinking."
"First, listen to me and don't interrupt."
The wives were a little grumpy, but seeing Shenshah's resolute posture, they decided to first listen to him.
"First, I would like to apologise to you, Xenia. I couldn't find your mother's earrings and any other belongings in your cave." n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Then, I slowly narrated the process of enraging the sect master Naagina and how I was taken as a personal disciple by that bunny girl Shao Shao due to her jealousy towards Naagina.
Of course, while explaining, I omitted the engagement ring and other system-related things.
The girls slowly listened to my narration. Now came the critical part.
"Next, what I am going to say is very serious. It's about that new girl, Angela."
Saharika's and Xenia's ears became extra alert so as not to miss any single detail.
"That girl is actually one of the saintess of my previous Immortal Paradise Sect appointed by the sect master Naagina. She is a spy sent here to sow disdain between us."
