Paul pitched camp when the night came, since he could not enter the city after dark.
He didn't keep guard or anything, leaving that to an array he placed around his tent.
It was not a barrier, but it would alarm him if anyone or anything approached his camp while he slept.
He arrived at the storm wave city the next morning and immediately went to see his uncle and Aunt to inform them about what had happened in the capital.
-It has been a good thing for you to go there when you did.
Xiao Han commented after Paul finished.
-If you say so, uncle, but the problem is that this parasite infestation never happened in my previous timeline, and since the court healers were unable to identify the parasites, then there would be a lot of victims when they spread, so I would have heard about it, but there is no such thing in my memories.
-Not exactly.
Xiao Han said after thinking about it for a while.
-If such a thing happened in the harem, then it is possible that when the halers were unable to determine the cause.
All the victims were killed, and their bodies were burned to stop the spread of the disease or a parasite in this case.
If the parasite never left the harem, then no one outside the palace would know about it, and at most the emperor would host a few banquets to choose new concubines.
Hearing this explanation, Paul remembered that there was a time when every two weeks, there was a banquet at the palace, and all the ladies from prominent families were invited.
His stepsisters cursed their luck, as their family had been far from prominent since then, and they were never invited.
He told this to his uncle, and Xiao Han only nodded.
-That's the way such things are dealt with.
If the healers are unable to deal with it, the imperial army will.
-Whatever the case, I'm back and can focus on cultivation again.
Paul smiled.
-Yeah, I'm sure that the ladies miss you by now, you lucky bastard.
Xiao Han laughed out loud.
-Uncle, no one is stopping you from getting a few sisters for Aunty.
-He can try, but he won't live long enough to do so.
Liu Lili said, entering the room.
She heard the last part of their conversation, and she was not amused.
-That was a joke, aunty, I know well that uncle would never even try to find a second wife.
Paul smiled as he defended himself, not wishing to piss off his aunt.
-I know, and that's the only reason you were not slapped silly.
She responded with a sweet smile, which made a shiver crawl down both men's spines.
Paul learned a long time ago that his aunt was not someone he would want to provoke.
As calm, gentle, and sometimes playful as his aunt was, once she was triggered, she turned into a demon, and when that happened, even Xiao Han was unable to stop her rage.
-Besodes, not every man is a womanizer like you, which was exactly the reason I agreed to marry your uncle.
She grinned, sitting down next to her husband.
-Oh, and before I forget.
She added.
-You should go and visit Su while you're here; she misses you and complains that you have forgotten about her.
-I'll go visit her before I leave.
Paul said.
He didn't forget his cousin, but he hasn't visited her for a while now.
-Good, she also mentioned something about visiting your mansion, to have some fun with your ladies, but I told her to ask you about it.
-That should not be a problem, aunty, and if you wish to come and have some fun as well, then I see no problem with it.
Paul said, and grinned when his aunt blushed.
Lili was sure that she had hidden her desire to have more fun well, and was wondering how he knew about it.
-How did you know?
She asked him.
It was no secret to her that Xiao Han could always read her like an open book, but Paul surprised her.
-Aunty, it's not that hard to figure out, and you are not the only one who wants to have fun.
Truth be told, this world is boring as hell most of the time, once you get used to all the different things.
In my world, there were tons of fun activities for ladies and for men as well, so it's not surprising at all that you would also like to have some more fun when you're bored out of your mind, and you already saw some fun things we did in my old world.
Paul explained with a smile while her jaw hit the floor.
-Aunty, there is nothing wrong with having fun, especially since nothing is holding you back from doing so, and it seems to make you happy, which in turn makes Uncle happy, as all he wants is your happiness.
He added, making Liu Lili shocked even more.
-So, since you wish to have some fun at my mansion, and Su is planning to visit anyway.
Then why dont you all visit my mansion next week, and you can bring some of your friends, as well as the city lord's family with you.
I'm sure that they will be more than happy to spend a day or two relaxing and having fun.
The look on Liu Lili's face was priceless at the moment, and even Xiao Han had a hard time not laughing when she looked like a fish taken out of water.
-Uncle, you are coming too, and I'm not taking no for an answer.
There might not be any fish for you to catch in my mansion, but there is a bottle of monkey wine with your name on it.
Paul smiled, seeing the shock on his uncle's face.
He had his reasons for inviting everyone, and the main one was that there are way too few fun activities in this world, and he wanted his new family to have as much fun as possible while he was still in the mortal realm.
His ladies also deserved a break after cultivating for so long and reaching their current levels exceptionally fast.
Finally, the last reason was that he loved to spend time with his new family and friends, since he had no such opportunities in his previous timeline.
-Alright, but you'd better prepare more than only a bottle of wine for your uncle.
Liu Lili was the first one to regain her voice.
-There is more than enough to go around, Auntie, so you don't need to worry about it.
Paul laughed.
He intended to buy at least two or three barrels of good wine for the occasion, since he knew that the men in this world loved to drink and were heavy drinkers most of the time.
Additionally, he had an idea that should make all the ladies happy as well, but he wasn't going to tell her, and spoil the surprise.
