Chapter 1217 One or two? If anyone said one is better than two, Liam would choke that person and thrash him until his soul is automatically refined into an undead. Two is never better than one. And he had learned it the hard way. Liam yawned as he was extremely tired and exhausted. These past two months had completely drained him. Even his long arduous days of mana cultivation could not come close to what he was experiencing at the moment. Exhausted, Liam leaned back, his mind drifting back to the tumultuous events of the past days. Everything started in a good way with him wanting to take a break for once. He needed this downtime to unclog his brain and mind and for his sanity. He had been running non-stop ever since the tutorial ended the first time around and he desperately needed to take a small breather and take his mind off of everything. He felt as if he did not do this and get a grip of himself, he might regret it in the long run. So he temporarily put a pause to all of his works in progress and decided to enjoy family time or at least that's how it all began. A beautiful wedding inside one of the forest-type dungeons nearby. Once all of the reptiles that occupied the dungeon were cleared out, it was truly not a bad place for a wedding. The towering trees, lush greenery, and the soft glow of mana-infused flowers created an almost otherworldly setting, providing a serene backdrop for the ceremony. Liam had stood with Shen Yue and Alex amidst their closest friends and guild members, and they had exchanged vows in a simple yet heartfelt ceremony. There was a bit of awkwardness as he was marrying two women at the same time but Rey had made sure that the entire thing was a big blast of fun and joy. The reception had been a lively affair, filled with laughter, music, and dancing. The guild members, who had become more like a family, celebrated with unrestrained joy. It was a day of festivity, a rare occasion where the harshness of their reality was momentarily forgotten. However, the day had to end and night had to eventually set in. Liam had stood facing his two brides not knowing what to do next. He had a lot of love and respect for these women and did not want to do anything to offend them. After all, this sort of polygamy was new for all of them. But to his surprise, the two women had made everything easy. Shen Yue stepped aside with a teasing smile saying that they had had their wedding night a long time back and that she had wanted to gift her new sister Alex the first night with their husband. Alex, the woman who was always headstrong and bold, had become speechless after that. She had become so shy that Liam had to take his time with her and even began wondering if she really wanted all of this or not. But soon one thing led to another and Alex lay sprawled underneath him, gasping for breath and with a shy smile on her face. Liam was amused to see that the bold paladin was a shy little minx in the bed. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦 He had never really thought about loving more than one woman as there were more pressing matters to attend to but now that he had, loving Alex came naturally after everything they had gone through. He gave her everything that she had been yearning for and smiled at how she looked as if she was intoxicated and deliriously happy. He couldn't help but fall more in love with that woman. Just like Shen Yue, she was loving and also fiercely loyal. More importantly, Liam found that her body was extremely compatible with his, making him feel just as intoxicated as they entwined with each other. Liam had only heard about something like this in his previous life that bodies with opposite affinities made perfect life partners and now he had experienced it firsthand. The divine energy coursing through Alex's body made his nether core more sharper and condensed. It seemed to refine and condense his energy, even if the change was subtle. In the following days, Liam had spent his time experimenting with this newfound discovery. He couldn't help himself and fell back into old patterns as he pinned Alex down and tried everything he wanted with the woman. And thus began the storm that had rocked his happy marriage. While the two women might have behaved like sisters in the beginning, things took a turn for the worse after the first few days after Liam and Alex had remained locked in the room together for the entire time. Some silent competition ensued and Liam suddenly found himself drowning in pussy for the lack of a better word. This honeymoon phase where he worked double time lasted for two entire months after which Liam excused himself that he had struck an epiphany and that he needed to test something out immediately. And now that he had successfully escaped, he let out a sigh of relief and burst out in laughter. The last two months had really been a pleasant escape but now it was time to get back to reality. Liam moved out of the small territory that Crawford had sketched out for himself and sat in the distant borders as he opened up his system interface. The current map of the world was truly huge. Even the undead that he had sent for scouting were only able to cover so much distance and in that small area, they had encountered powerful beasts, some even around level 100 to 200. Before the integration, only the guardians of the world had terrifying levels like this and now the other beasts had also started to evolve at a rapid rate. However, beasts of this level were not really a threat to him any longer. Liam stared at the map, wondering what his next step should be.
