After a whole day of fun, the guests left, a bit tired but also relaxed, and happy to come back the next day for more.
Paul would like to allow all of them to spend the night in his mansion, but there was not enough space to accommodate even half of his guests, much less all of them.
-That was fun.
Anna said, as soon as the last guests left.
-Glad you liked it, and we will have some more fun tomorrow.
Paul smiled.
-That sounds great, but let's stop at two days.
I don't think we can take three days of this.
Irine chimed in, sitting next to them.
-Yeah, as fun as it is, three days would be way too much.
Natalie agreed with her mother.
As much as all the ladies loved to have guests and have fun, they were tired after a whole day of entertaining guests and playing with children.
After cleaning up and preparing the garden for the next day, they all went to sleep, and no one protested when Anna and Elaine went to Paul's bedroom.
The two of them didn't plan on cultivating, but using him as a pillow, which was fine with Paul since he was also tired, but still loved to sleep with beauties in his arms.
The next day was a repeat of the previous one, with some small differences, most noticeable of which was that the guests got used to wearing swimsuits, and there was no awkwardness like the day before.
-I hope you don't plan to extend this to a whole week.
Xiao Han said around noon.
-No, this is the last day.
Paul shook his head.
-As fun as it is, it would become boring if it went on for too long.
Besides, I know that everyone has responsibilities to attend to.
-Good, because as much as I love having fun at your place, if this went on, I would become too lazy, and the same goes for Su and Lili.
The province lord smiled.
-Yeah, me too, but after today, we plan to restart our seclusion and focus on cultivation again.
-When do you plan to stop?
Xiao Han asked, a bit surprised since Paul and his ladies had just ended a month-long seclusion.
-I have no clue, but this time we plan to use the potions and pills to boost our cultivation.
So with any luck, I should at least go up another stage or even more, and the ladies should also have no less of a gain.
-No way, it's already shocking how much you all grew, and now you want to level up even more?
Xiao Su said, hearing their conversation.
-What's wrong, Su? Don't you wish for all of us to become stronger?
Paul turned to her.
-That's not what I meant.
She quickly said, catching on that her words might have been misunderstood.
-When I returned to normal, you all were not that high above me since I had to restart my cultivation from nothing.
But now I'm barely approaching the Mage stage, while you are at a magus stage already, and the rest of the ladies are at least two stages above me, and no matter how hard I train and cultivate, I can't seem to catch up to you.
Su explained, with a hint of desperation in her voice.
Both Paul and Xiao Han knew that she was a competitive person, similar to Anna, but they never expected her to try and compete with them in cultivation.
-Su, you know there is no way for you to catch up to a dual cultivator.
Fei Fei explained it to you a long time ago, so why are you being stubborn, knowing that you can't win?
Paul asked, amused at this situation.
-Mainly because I want to be as strong as you, to avoid being targeted again, and I was thinking of accompanying you to the upper realms.
She admitted quietly.
-That's the first time I'm hearing about it.
Xiao Han said, shocked at her words.
-One way or the other, I would need to ascend at some point to avoid the divine needle sect coming after you and mother, and going with Paul would be way safer than going on my own.
Xiao Su explained.
-Dear, you don't have to worry about your mother and me, even if these bastards come, we have ways to defend ourselves.
There is also no need for you to go up or rush your cultivation to do so; we won't make the same mistakes as last time.
Xiao Han assured her, while inside, he was both proud and terrified that his daughter was trying to protect her family.
-Dad, you know that they won't stop until they get my physique, and I don't want to put you and my future siblings in danger by staying here.
She retorted.
Su didn't plan on revealing her plans until she was ready to accompany Paul, but now the cat was out of the bag.
-Alright, I didn't ask before, but what is your physique that makes these people covet it so much?
Paul chimed in, not wanting this back and forth to continue.
-I have a great, fiery mountain physique.
-This has to be some kind of a joke.
A voice from nowhere said, in a shocked tone.
Both Xiao Han and Xiao Su looked around, but there was no one close to the spot where they were sitting at the moment.
-Who said that?
Xiao Han asked.
-Let's go to the house, I think that there are some things that someone wants to ask and needs to explain.
Paul said and got up, followed by both father and daughter.
As soon as the doors closed behind them, the reincarnation soul manifested, shocking Xiao Han and Xiao Su.
-Who are you?
The girl asked, seeing the ghostly man that materialized from the thin air.
-I'm his reincarnation soul, and before we talk any further, I want to confirm your physique.
The soul said, seriously.
Catching its meaning, Paul handed Su a physique-revealing crystal.
-Use it.
He said, surprised at his reincarnation soul's reaction, since it was always adamant about keeping its existence a secret from anyone who was not a part of Paul's family.
As soon as her blood touched the crystal, a big volcano was revealed, with something sitting at the edge of the crater.
-Damn it.
The soul said, seeing her physique.
-What is going on, senior?
Xiao Han asked, unable to keep quiet any longer, as it was evident that something was wrong.
-I would also like to know.
Paul added.
-Give me a moment.
The soul said and placed its hand on Xiao Su's head.
-Wake the hell up, you lazy bird.
It roared a moment later with a surge of its power entering the girl's body and making it glow bright red, shocking everyone once again.
The glow disappeared a moment later, and for a moment, nothing happened.
-Damn, you sure know how to interrupt a nice nap.
A distinctly female voice sounded suddenly, before an incredibly beautiful woman appeared before them.
