A simple bracelet made from colorful crystals and a string laid inside the box, illuminating his palms with its light . Anyone could tell it wasn't an ordinary Artefact with just a single glance .
"I can feel it… Your presence within the crystals…" Xuefeng muttered amazed, grazing his fingers across the crystals .
Bdum . Bdum .
Each stone was beating like a real heart, one faster, one slower but each giving a healthy rhythm .
"Each crystal represents one person . Once they get mortally hurt, the crystal will crack and once they die, it will turn into dust . Parts of our souls live within the crystals so you will have to keep them alive but it won't be a problem," Ming added as one of the creators .
"Are your souls alright?" Xuefeng asked worriedly . "It must have hurt to split them . "
No matter how precious the present was, their safety was his priority . Thankfully, he was worrying for nothing .
"Don't worry, we are already healed . It didn't hurt much too," Xiao Wen assured and called out excitedly, "Quick, wear it!"
They seemed satisfied with his reaction and he was indeed shocked . He wore the bracelet on his free hand and suddenly all the heartbeats mixed together, acting like subtle wrist massage . That wasn't its main feature though . It was the ability to know his wives' condition at all times .
"This is honestly the best gift I could have ever asked for," Xuefeng praised and stood up, extending his arms .
Everyone knew this sign very well and dove into his arms, hugging all together in a group embrace . "I love you all . "

"How did you even make it?" Xuefeng questioned as they separated . "I understand the soul part but blood?"
Ming only shrugged . "Soul slips are quite common . Even your Sect has one but Blood Curses are quite rare . There was a hidden clan that specialized in them, causing trouble for powerful cultivators so they were wiped out . I think the clan was already forgotten by everyone but I just happened to have records of their arts I could make use for your gift . "
"I wanted to learn but big sis doesn't want to teach me…" Wuying complained while pouting but Ming didn't budge . "I'm doing it for your own good . All of their curses were evil, meant to torture and bring pain . The one we used was the only one that was meant for good . Lovers would gift each other such crystals to show their feelings . All I did was connect the curse with the soul slip and you can see the results . "
"Great results indeed," Xuefeng confirmed . "I can even recognize each of you . "
He touched one stone after another, calling their names, "This is Wen… This is Tianshi… This is Nuwa, calm as always . And this must be Lisa, your heart is beating really fast . Are you okay?"
The stone was vibrating much faster than the others . When everyone looked at her, she blushed, walking in front of him .
"I have a personal present for you . "
In her hand, a vial of pills, fourteen to be exact, all bright red with a tint of yellow in them .
"What do they do?" Xuefeng asked curiously, accepting the vial . The pills had to be special if she was this embarrassed .
Lisa took a deep breath and introduced her product, "We know you didn't start cultivating properly yet because you train your abilities first so I made a pill to help you with that . Now you can train during the day and cultivate at night, with us . "

"Oh!" Xuefeng exclaimed, finding it interesting . "So it helps with Spirit Qi gathering? I did cultivate with Ling but I don't mind quickening the process when I can . "
Each time he had sex with Ling, his body absorbed Spirit Qi from the air even if he wanted it or not . He tried to limit it to match his cultivation with his wives . He was already close to breaking through to the Monarch Stage when they have only been in the Hidden Realm for half a year . If they were meant to stay there for three years, he would ascend long before them at this rate .
He smelled inside the vial and was almost pushed away by the amount of condensed Qi inside . What was the most surprising was the sudden rush of blood in his body . He looked down and saw his friend awaken, ready for some action .
"Cough, one herb I collected had the same properties as an aphrodisiac . It acted as a perfect catalyst so I didn't have a choice but to add it," Lisa explained with a dry cough . "The pills don't help with Qi gathering as they already have immense Qi inside of them . The best thing is that it can benefit both partners and quicken their cultivation . "
"Lisa! You are a genius! Why didn't you say anything? We would help!" Yiren called out excitedly and everyone nodded eagerly, knowing exactly what such pill implied .
More sex with Xuefeng! How could they not be excited?
"I wanted it to be a surprise…" Lisa muttered . "Also, I wasn't sure if I can make them . The pill should already surpass Rank 9 as all the herbs used don't come from the Earth Realm . Almost all had abnormal levels of Qi condensed inside them and it was really hard to manage them . "
"But I eventually succeeded," she added with a bright smile .
"Amazing!" Xuefeng called out happily . "We should definitely use one today for the test but we shouldn't overuse . I want all of you to master your abilities and Elements before you focus on Cultivation . That's our last problem . "
"Yes!"
The ladies nodded when Nuwa raised her complaints .

"This is not fair . I am already at a peak when it comes to Cultivation . I cannot Dual Cultivate with you . I request additional sessions before or after!"
"Don't worry, I won't mistreat you," Xuefeng assured and pulled her into his arms . "Are you unsatisfied lately? I remember you crying yesterday that you can't move anymore or was it all a dream? You slept right after so maybe you don't recall . "
Nuwa pursed her lips and didn't comment . Since Xuefeng could manipulate time, they could have all the time they needed and he finally defeated her yesterday, breaking her limits .
"Haha," Xuefeng laughed when she hid in his chest, hugging him and he embraced her as he gazed at the rest . "Thank you once again . Now I can feel at ease when you distance yourself from me . I will always have you near me, even when you are away . I love you all . "
"We love you more," Nuwa replied for everyone and shamelessly claimed his lips, also for everyone .
Smack!
A heavy hand landed on Nuwa's butt when she didn't let go for more than a minute but that was like a reward for her, having no impact at all .
"Nuwa! You are doing it again!"

While the party was ongoing, Drakos was below them, inside the mountain . He has been digging a giant hole from the side to the get inside for months but he was getting closer and closer to the main mine, making him dig happily .
Even though he has been finding smaller chunks of Fate Stones, that wasn't his goal . Those were just his snacks to restore his energy as he dug endlessly . Naturally, they also contributed to his growth .
He was much bigger compared to half a year ago, being almost one meter tall . This was the main reason why Bella still didn't kill him, believing his story for now .
"I'm so close… Just a bit more…" Drakos muttered as he punched the wall once again .
Bang!
The wall exploded, sending big chunks everywhere, bringing him closer to his goal once again . There were no other methods of getting inside the mountain aside from blasting it apart with physical strength time and time again .
He asked Xuefeng to help him dig a hole but Earth Qi seemed to be useless the deeper one dug . The black rocks mixed with Fate Stones were just too dense and hard . The couldn't simply remodel them with Earth Qi .
"One more!" Drakos cried out once again, punching once again before he had to throw the debris out .
For the first time, the rocks didn't blast in his direction but instead, they fell forward .
Swoosh!
Stale air blew at his face as if happy it could escape outside . Drakos didn't mind it at all and instead breathed it deeply with a big grin on his face .
"I finally made it!"
