Devouring Monarch: Rebirth of the Profane Phoenix - Chapter 396

Chapter 396: Acceptance – My Three Pregnant Wives Are too Cute!
Asura soon returned home; he found Rasha had fallen asleep after singing a few songs. This forced him to carry her home on his back. Her light snores sounded in his ears while he turned the key in the door and stepped inside.

‘Hmm?’

What shocked him the most was the atmosphere when he came inside the mansion. He noticed everyone seemed in a great mood and chatted amongst themselves.

“I’m home—hello, my lovely ladies.”

“Welcome home, darling.” Mu Xue stood from the sofa, Verana soon following.

“Asura, you look a little drunk. Did you have a good time? Let me fetch you a cup of tea.”

“Husband, come sit with us. We have made some plans,” Vela said in a gentle voice, tapping the space beside her.

The moment they saw him, they all smiled and greeted him, with Verana offering him a drink while Mu Xue helped lift Rasha off his back before taking her to a spare room. It felt strange to see everyone together and not see Xavida teasing Vela or Verana and Mu Xue competing against each other; instead, they worked in pairs.

“Thanks, it’s rare to see you all together without fighting, haha.” Asura laughed.

“Oh, we were just having a chat. We all agree that we need to work harder to help you, and that means no more fighting.”

“That’s a relief, but I can take care of myself, you know?”

“Really… you seem to cause trouble almost everywhere you go,” Lorem added, her nose flaring as she snorted, drinking some of her herbal tea.

“True, he can never just visit somewhere and not have an event happen,” Helliana added.

He felt the women seemed to have gained some kind of unity, while Mu Xue returned, and sat beside him and placed her hand on his thigh, squeezing him gently.

“Did you miss me?”

“Of course.” He kissed her, and the women saw him kiss her while the others showed a smirk; some of them seemed to be upset. What Asura didn’t know was that the girls made a bet together on who he would kiss first, betting gold, their solo day, with him allowing the girls to keep competing together in a way that wouldn’t cause Asura any trouble.

“I’m glad you’re okay and sorry for leaving everything to you all. I enjoyed the night with Rasha and should have come home sooner.”

“It’s okay, but what is she to you now? I can smell her on you, and it seems you gave her a good time. We know you love us all equally, so it is not a problem, but are you two together now?” Vela asked. She wondered how long he would drag this one because she also knew of the elf Celine, whom he had yet to sleep with, but their relationship was all but confirmed by her and Mu Xue.

“Well, that’s the thing…”

Asura didn’t finish his sentence as Lorem pulled him close and kissed him; his body now lay across Mu Xue and Verana’s laps while they held him down and didn’t let him slip away. “What’s the thing?” Lorem asked while stroking his cheek, slapping him a few times as her sweet scent filled his nose, along with the floral scent from Verana’s natural perfume.

“She doesn’t know enough of common sense, though I do like her and feel attracted to her. I won’t rush or force anything, though it seems her culture and race have different mating and courting methods and situations, so I’ll follow her pace. When or if she wants to take things further, I will consider it then.”

“Good, I will support you in whatever decision you make.” Lorem kissed his cheek and moved back to her seat, letting Verana, Valerie and the others tease him.

“As will we all.” Vela corrected her by adding her voice to Lorem’s words.

‘It feels like they made some kind of cult. Am I safe?’

“Then, what’s this meeting about?”

“We have a list of rules that will affect the relationships and interactions we will have with you. I hope you can listen to them and approve.”

“Hmmm?” Asura felt a little strange; normally, it was he who made the choices and managed things, but everyone began to nod their heads and placed a list on the table with countless rules, suggestions and some cute rabbits that Xavida likely drew.

While he observed the document, Vela began to speak. “Tonight, you will be sleeping with Lorem, Xavida, and me, so if you want to speak about this more, we are happy to do so.”

‘They seem to have made a rota system, and various suggestions to make our relationships smoother… I see. Those who travel with me will take a brief rest after returning… I will give them each a day or two a month alone where we will date and spend the entire day together… Okay.’

***

The group chatted and discussed the various points on the list, while Asura agreed with most of the points and suggestions. It felt a little like he had lost control and the management of the group.

However, it also made him feel a sense of freedom.

He was no longer forced to manage everything, meaning he could focus on anything he desired or needed to instead of taking half his time dealing with his harem.

“Okay, this is a good start, and I can agree with most of the points, so this is starting from tonight?”

“Mmm, tomorrow you will be with Helliana, Verana and Mu Xue… then sleeping with Xavida and Lucia the next evening. Okay?” Vela smiled; her face looked more mature and made Asura feel she hadn’t only grown in physical prowess, but her mind became much stronger.

‘I’m not a puppet master, so this is good.’

“Okay, let’s do this.”

Asura stood up and headed upstairs to his bedroom with Vela, Lorem and Xavida following him.

***

In the master bedroom, he lay with Vela resting her head on his chest, her shorter silver hair flopped over his shoulder, while Xavida lay on his stomach, with Lorem to his right. “How did you come up with that plan, Vela?” Asura was curious how she thought to be so detailed, and add things he didn’t even notice on the list.

Asura’s left hand stroked along her chin; he felt that without these wonderful women, he might be stuck in his pathetic old shell and unable to come out of it; while enjoying the smooth sensation of her lips, she opened her mouth while sliding her index finger across his chest.

“To be honest, I have been jealous of the other women many times in the past, so when I sat down and thought about how to remove that feeling or to stop being so needy. I started making such plans to get more time with you, even if it meant sharing your attention, like now.”

Xavida looked up at Asura, their stomachs against each other, while her exposed breasts squished against his abs. Her lovely eyes shimmered as she hugged him tight. “Vela is right; we all felt jealous and would fight because sometimes you would forget who you promised to spend the night with and choose someone that flashed their breasts or made you feel bad… So this way, it felt a little fairer for us.”

“What are you talking about, little dragon? You are the one that gets his cock the most often and spends more time than any of us together with him!” Lorem scolded Xavida, her hands wrapped around Asura’s arm as she placed it between her ample breasts, keeping him warm but also trying to arouse him with her red fur brushing against his fingertips each time she moved her hips.

“You’re not any better, Lorem. I recall that you would sneak into his bed and have him wake up inside you!” Xavida pouted, her large, white-scaled tail swishing side to side.

“Now, now, don’t argue.” Vela caused both of them to become quiet before she winked at Asura. “Though there might be times you want to be with a specific girl, please try to follow the rules we decided. I know you can’t help finding us all attractive, and we will accept that sometimes things happen, of course.”

“No, I understand, but more importantly, what about the Arachne Kingdom and East? Will we be speaking to your mother?” He wondered how or who would take charge, or would the queen order them to ignore it and take a neutral stance?

“Because of the existence of the cult mentioned by Yufa, my other has given the order that a small team must first investigate.”

“I see, a small team.”

Asura looked at Vela’s amber eyes that shimmered in the darkness. He could feel Xavida taking off his pants while ignoring the conversation, and Lorem clung to his arm tighter, her lower body now rubbing against his fingers.

‘These two aren’t interested in listening…’

“That’s why Mother has ordered that you take a small group with Sigurd and Helliana at your side. This time, none of the royal guard or myself will be permitted to go. Of course, this includes Xavida and even Valerie and Verana.”

“That’s quite the restriction.”

“Yes, however, this is because we need to bolster the northern defences, namely Drakkur’s ports and Wolfsheim, which will be dealt with by Amalia and your Father. You may take Ignis with you if you wish, but I hope you remember your goal is to get proof, as the troops will be stationed inside the New Lyndwrym fortress.”

“So my objective is to find the source and to report, then destroy it.”

“Correct.”

“Anything else?”

“Mmm, this will be a mission that will take time, so we must first ensure if the cultists are part of this or if it is merely the eastern empires doing. But don’t forget the priority is the Arachne Kingdom.”

‘I see; Vela has done a lot of thinking about this and us as a unit rather than me and her as a couple.’

“Why can’t you come with me this time?” He asked, a hunch in his mind, but he wanted to hear from Vela’s lips.

“Because Lorem, Xavida and myself are carrying your child, the same goes for Valerie; mother has ordered that we cannot go into combat or dangerous situations because of this, no matter how strong you are or how much magic can protect our unborn children. She has forbade us from endangering them.”

“I see.”

“You seem happy.” Vela giggled. “I’m glad to see you so cheerful.”

“I am, after all, I’m going to be a father soon, and I have so many charming and thoughtful women with a strong will to support me. If I weren’t happy, I’d be an idiot.”

“Fufu, it was worth the effort… You know, although I can’t have sex, my mouth… and hands are in need of some practice.” Vela whispered as he felt the soft, wet sensation of Lorem’s soft lips parting around his fingers and Xavida’s smooth, warm thighs wrapping around his member. “What do you say? We have a little fun, and you can always return the favour and lick mine if you feel bad~ my dear husband.”

“Well, since my lovely wives are seducing me with such effective charm, how could I say no?”
