In the outskirts of the town, five hooded figures dressed in black attire moved stealthily towards Yuan's house, driven by a dark objective. Their plan was to capture Yuan and his family and present them before Viscount Lewis, who had promised them a handsome reward for their success. 

However, their intentions went beyond the reward. They were eager to indulge in the presence of the four divine beauties that surrounded Yuan, as they had never encountered such mesmerizing women before.

As they approached the vicinity, one of the figures pointed towards the grand mansion that stood merely 20 meters away. "That's the mansion where they reside," he whispered, his voice laced with anticipation. "I have seen them entering it earlier."

Another figure nodded, a sinister smile creeping across his face. "So this is the place they've been hiding all this time," he remarked. "And it seems there are no security guards present, which works in our favor."

A third figure's voice trembled with excitement as he spoke, "Let's go, let's go! I can't wait to bask in the warmth of those four goddesses." The mere thought of experiencing the allure of these women consumed their minds, fueling their desires.

Their imaginations ran wild as they fantasized about indulging in the incomparable beauty before them. Their hearts raced with anticipation, unable to contain their eagerness any longer.

Another figure voiced his agreement, his voice filled with a fervent longing. "Indeed, I can hardly wait to savor their essence. I have never laid my eyes upon such ethereal women. My excitement knows no bounds."

The group moved closer to the mansion, their intentions dark and their desires ignited.

Meanwhile, Inside the comforting embrace of the house, Yuan and the girls found solace in each other's company. They sat on the plush sofa, engrossed in lively conversation and laughter, creating an atmosphere of warmth and love.

Yuan occupied the center spot, flanked by his two mothers-turned-wives, Anna and Grace. Their heads rested gently on his strong shoulders, contentment radiating from their relaxed expressions. 

Xi Meili sat on his lap, her head nestled against his chest, taking in his masculine scent as she found comfort in his embrace. Her eyes glowed with adoration and devotion for the man she had only just met that day.

Witnessing her adorable childlike behavior, Yuan's heart swelled with affection. He gently ran his fingers through her hair, savoring the moment and cherishing the connection they shared.

Across from them, Lily, Yuan's elder sister, couldn't help but feel a tinge of jealousy as she observed Xi Meili's proximity to her beloved brother. She thought to herself, "Damn, she beat me at this, even though she was born today. I swear I won't lose next time." Determination flared within her, fueling her competitive spirit.

Yuan, Anna, Grace, and Emma, perceptive to Lily's emotions, shared a knowing look and couldn't help but suppress their laughter. Yuan, wearing a mischievous smile, directed his gaze at Lily and teased, "Looks like someone's feeling a bit jealous. I wonder who it could be?"

This playful remark ignited laughter from Anna, Grace, and Emma, filling the room with joy.

Lily's face flushed a deep shade of red, her cheeks puffed up as she attempted to deny her feelings. "I'm not jealous," she protested, her eyes darting away in an attempt to hide her true emotions.

Anna, her sweet smile lighting up her face, chimed in, "Oh, Lily dear, you can't fool me. As your mother, I know you better than anyone. Your expressions give you away with just one glance."

Lily's blush intensified under Anna's gentle teasing, while Grace, known for her usual cold demeanor, giggled softly. "Lily looks absolutely adorable when she's jealous, don't you think?" she commented, seeking agreement from the others. And indeed, they all nodded in amusement.

Lost in her own world, Xi Meili remained buried in Yuan's lap, blissfully unaware of the playful banter surrounding her.

While Yuan, Anna, Grace, Lily, and Emma engaged in a lively conversation. However, their tranquility was abruptly shattered when Xi Meili's expression turned vigilant and her brows furrowed. 

Sensing her change in demeanor, Yuan activated his divine sense, scanning the vicinity of their house. What he discovered sent a wave of concern coursing through his veins.

Yuan's face contorted with worry, prompting Anna to address the sudden change in atmosphere. Her voice laced with concern, she asked, "Why are you both frowning? Is something wrong?"

Grace and Emma joined in, their eyes filled with worry. "Are there any problems?" Grace inquired, her voice filled with apprehension.

Lily, too, cast a concerned gaze at Yuan and Xi Meili, eager to understand the cause of their distress. It was Xi Meili who broke the silence, her smile tinged with cunning as she said, "Some rats are coming."

Yuan's lips curled into a small smile as he responded, "Indeed, but I didn't expect them to make a move this soon." Confusion painted the faces of Anna, Grace, Lily, and Emma as they tried to grasp the meaning behind the cryptic exchange between Yuan and Xi Meili.

Yuan shifted his gaze to his two mothers, his elder sister, and his beloved, his expression calm but determined. With a hint of mischief in his voice, he suggested they retrieve their swords, reminding them that they must be prepared to entertain the arriving guests. 

He added, "We can't just receive them without proper preparation, can we?"

Bewilderment deepened in the eyes of Anna, Grace, Lily, and Emma. They exchanged perplexed glances, struggling to comprehend the notion of guests or entertainment at such a time. 

Anna's confusion mirrored on her face as she questioned Yuan, "What kind of guests are you talking about?" However, her perplexity quickly transformed into a frown as the sound of movement reached their ears, originating from outside their home.

Not only Anna, but Grace, Lily, and Emma also detected the approaching footsteps, their trained senses recognizing the approach of five individuals charging towards their residence. 

A sense of vigilance swept through the room, prompting Anna, Grace, and Lily to draw their swords from their storage rings. 

Grace turned to Yuan, her eyes filled with determination, and asked, "Who are these people?"

Yuan's voice remained composed as he replied, "Most likely, they are scouts sent by Viscount Lewis to track us down." His words hung in the air, the gravity of the situation sinking in.

The tension in the room grew palpable as Grace's stern expression reflected her anger. She exclaimed, "Oh, it's that arrogant bastard Lewis! You've shattered their pride by rendering his son impotent. No wonder he sent people to find us."

Lily, defending Yuan's actions, chimed in, "It's his dumb son's fault for ruining our meal so arrogantly. He deserves it." She added, "And now, even his father has made a foolish move by sending his lackeys after us."

Emma sighed and remarked, "Nobles are always like this. They want things to go their own way."

Anna, with a serious expression, turned to Yuan and asked, "Should we attack the intruders before they attack us?"

Yuan shook his head, a cold smile spreading across his face. "Let them come," he said, his voice filled with determination. "I'll make sure to show them what terror truly is." Anna, Grace, Lily, and Emma understood that Yuan had a plan in mind, so they nodded in agreement.

Meanwhile, Xi Meili remained seated on Yuan's lap, seemingly unfazed by the intruders. The impending threat seemed trivial to her.

Soon enough, the five hooded figures entered the house through the window, their long black robes indicating their status as mages. Their eyes were immediately drawn to the five stunning beauties standing beside Yuan, a devilishly handsome young man.

One of the intruders let out a sinister laugh as he gazed at Yuan's wives and exclaimed excitedly, "I've only seen them from a distance, but up close, they truly are a work of art."

Another intruder licked his lips in a vulgar manner and said, "We hit the jackpot by coming here. There are five of them, we could have one for each."

The rest of the intruders nodded in agreement, their anticipation evident on their faces. Then, one of them took a step forward, wearing a lecherous expression, and addressed the beauties, "Hello, beauties. I'm a fourth-circle mage. Why don't you entertain us? I can promise you a life of luxury if you come with us."

Another intruder, his smile filled with lust, added, "This young man will be dead soon anyway, so why not follow us?"

Anna, Grace, Lily, Emma, and Xi Meili felt disgust washing over them as they were subjected to the intruders' vulgar gazes and lewd comments. Lily muttered under her breath, "Disgusting."

Witnessing the lustful expressions and vulgar thoughts directed at his wives, Yuan's expression turned icy, his anger simmering within. How could these mutts dare to have such vile intentions towards his women? He released his cultivation pressure, and a tyrannical force pressed the intruders onto the ground.

The five hooded figures found themselves kneeling, bewildered by the sudden pressure that felt as though a mountain was crushing them. Fear gripped their hearts as they looked up, only to see Yuan wearing a cold smile, his eyes filled with a wide grin.

With a heavy tone, Yuan declared, "So, you are the ones Viscount Lewis sent to find our whereabouts."
