As angry as Paul's ladies were, it was already too late to regret giving their permission for this trial, so they could only accept the fact that they would most likely get a lot more than just two new sisters.
They were also surprised when Bing Mei turned to them.
-Sisters, why don't you have the mark?
She asked, puzzled, as the mark should appear on every woman who was the patriarch's lover.
-Could it be because we have Paul's family marks on our bodies?
Irine asked after Mei explained this matter to them.
This was the only explanation that made any sense.
-Let's test this theory.
Paul said and marked Bing Xin with his family mark.
As soon as the mark appeared under her belly button, the one on her neck disappeared at once, and when he removed his mark, the one on her neck appeared again.
-This is convenient.
Paul smiled, seeing the results of this little experiment.
-How so?
Bing Xin asked, not understanding his intentions.
-Once we get out of here, the marks on your necks might cause trouble, and your blue hair, as pretty as it is, is also a dead giveaway about your clan.
So I'll mark you both with my family mark, to hide the ones on your necks, and change your hair color to avoid trouble.
He explained to the two surprised ladies.
-You said so yourselves, that if my identity as the Ice Maiden clan patriarch is discovered, then there will be a lot of people trying to get rid of me.
So the best way to avoid that is to hide my identity until I'm strong enough to defend myself.
He added, already thinking about no less than three groups of humans and a group of dragons who would truly want to kill him once they learned about it.
Hearing this explanation, both ladies agreed without any issues.
In the end, their duty was to protect and serve the Patriarch, not to expose him to danger.
-Alright, for now, this matter is over, and we will discuss it at length later.
Right now, we need to get the heck out of this city.
Paul said, and stopped for a moment.
-Actually, we might have a problem now.
He said suddenly.
-Since we are now part of the same clan, I might not be able to form a slavery contract with the two of you.
He explained.
-You don't need to worry about that.
We might belong to the same clan now, but we are not blood-related, so there should be no problem with forming a contract.
Bing Mai said after she thought about it for a moment.
-If you want, we can try it now to be sure.
If it works, then everything will be good; if not, we will find another way to leave.
Bing Xin added.
Everyone agreed that this needed to be tested, so Paul removed the family marks from the Bing sisters and conjured the slavery marks over his hand.
-Do you not brand your slaves?
Bing Mei asked, seeing the marks floating over his hand.
-No, I don't like slavery that much, and I detest hurting the people who become my slaves.
These are slave spells, and they work the same way as branding, but they don't leave scars and don't require anyone to suffer.
Paul explained.
-Do you accept the fate of becoming my slaves?
He asked the two of them to start the short ritual.
-We do.
Both ladies confirmed, and the marks flew into their bodies.
Surprisingly, they manifested in the same spot for the two of them.
Right in the middle of their chests.
As soon as they appeared, both sisters bowed to Paul.
-These slaves greet the master.
They said in unison.
-You may rise, and never bow to me again.
Paul said, feeling as the slave master Mark reappeared once again on his back.
He didn't miss having it, but it seemed he couldn't get rid of it permanently.
-Alright, since we know it works, I'll release it for now.
He said and was about to break the contracts, but was stopped.
-Please don't do it, let the contract stay as it is.
Bing Xin said, surprising everyone.
-But why?
Anna asked, surprised at her new sister's request.
She herself was more than happy when she was set free, as the feeling of being constantly under someone's influence was unsettling to say the least.
-The main reason is that none of you has any reason to trust us, other than our word, and that of Sei's, which does not carry much weight.
So we want to stay as Paul's slaves until a time when he and all of you can truly accept us.
Bing Mei explained their reasoning.
-If that's what you wish for, then I don't see any reason not to grant your wish.
Paul shrugged.
If they wanted to remain slaves for now, he didn't see the problem.
Especially since soon enough, all the women in the city would become his slaves to escape this hellhole.
With that, Paul decided to truly finish this discussion and focus back on cultivation, and all the ladies agreed.
In fact, they all insisted on exercising their privilege and went at it with him right that moment.
The Ice twins were surprised that neither Paul nor his ladies so much as batted an eye as they went at it right in front of them.
-Come on, you two, what are you waiting for?
Rin asked and pulled them both onto the bed to join them.
It wasn't long before Bing Mei tasted Paul's dragon, but unlike her sister, she didn't need to be tamed and simply enjoyed the pleasure.
Bing Xin also had her turn, and as she was going at it riding Paul, she had to admit that this was way better than when he tamed her.
Not that she didn't like some spicy action once in a while, but she preferred being tenderly caressed, instead of having her ass slapped.
Altogether, it took Paul another seven hours to satisfy all his ladies, which made the ladies waiting outside a bit restless as they also wanted to have some fun.
Paul didn't disappoint them, and as soon as his ladies left, the first group, led by Gu Man, entered the bedroom.
