--- Chapter 201 ---

Presented with surprising horror, Baek Ain couldn't help but question his one hundred reincarnations. Since each of them connected to a group of people or at least a person, doesn't that mean Baek Ain truly lived his life?

After listening to Lan Rou's story, Baek Ain confirmed their Unfinished Samsara is connected.

Luo Bingbing, who got swallowed by the 'Tale of Unfinished Samsara' a while ago, also became part of Baek Ain's karma.

'I knew it...'

'Those experiences cannot be a simple mirage. They are as real as they can get.'

'Wait, did I actually become Luo Bingbing's husband?' Baek Ain couldn't help but shiver as he married many women and sired many children in the one hundred reincarnations.

'Alicia, can you explain this situation?'

[About that...]

[I don't know much either, Host]

[It's actually not far-fetched to experience clashed reincarnations when one formed countless karma(whether it was bad karma or not) to others, but it shouldn't have affected your reality too much]

[That's that, and this is this]

'That doesn't answer anything, Alicia...' Baek Ain was speechless.

[In short, pick and forget. You should be able to differentiate which lives and experiences are worth living]

'Bruh, you make it sound easy.'

Baek Ain huffed and silently hugged Lan Rou, giving her a gentle rub on the back. Lan Rou whimpered as she felt her whole body melt into him.

They wished they could stay like this forever.

However, they have responsibility of their own.

The world won't wait for you.

After cuddling for thirty minutes, Baek Ain suddenly recalled one of his Main Quest's rewards. [5x Seeds of General Candidates]!

'Alicia, what's the usage of Seeds of General Candidates?'

[Upon finishing your other Main Quest, you will obtain the ownership of this plane, Host]

[Seed of General Candidate is a Planar Essence that one could consume to obtain more power. And the one who consumed the Seed of General Candidate will become Plane's Guardian]

[Yes, your general]

[As you grow stronger along the plane, your generals will also obtain a boost in their strength!]

'Hmm, there must be a catch?'

[Well...]

[If they become general, they can't leave this world]

"..." Baek Ain.

'Oy, That's no different than leaving my wives behind.'

[Calm down, Host. Your lovely and sensible guide has a method, or you could say loophole, for this problem]

[Hear me out...]

[Although Seed of General prevented one from leaving the plane they protected, it cannot bypass one's soul]

[All one needs to do is splice a little bit of soul and leave it in this world's vessel. Then, use 'Soul Guardian' from the Anti-Protagonist Shop]

Baek Ain's mouth twitched, 'You wanted to scam me, didn't you?'

'Tsk, why are you so adamant about the Anti-Protagonist Shop?'

[I only told you the method, Host] Alicia responded calmly.

[It's up to you whether the method is worth it or not]

Baek Ain pondered for a moment because Alicia's method is indeed worth doing, but he won't do it. He didn't trust the item in the Anti-Protagonist Shop enough.

Nearly all of the items could cause defects. What makes Soul Guardian better?

There must be a way.

Baek Ain used his Parallel Thinking to the limit and sped through his many scenarios. Soon, a grin bloomed on his face because he just discovered a way to make his wives follow him to another world.

Alicia sensed Baek Ain's confidence and was confused.

[What's with the grin...]

'Alicia, If I'm not wrong, Hall of Souls possessed the most complete and superior Soul Cultivation Techniques in the Dou Qi Continent, right?'

[Ah, no way!] Alicia sounds flustered.

'Yes, way!' Baek Ain has decided to wipe out Hall of Souls faster than he originally planned. If possible, he wanted to share the effect of Innate Skill: Soul Protection(Unknown) with his wives, but he didn't have such ability.

The only way for them to have a strong soul is by training it. What better place has a wide range of collections than the Hall of Souls?

[Aih, I felt a little bad for the Hall of Souls]

[Not only will you wipe them from existence, but you will also rob them poor]

'They deserve it.' Baek Ain responded indifferently. 'Also, don't hate the players, hate the game.'

"Rou, are you awake?"

Baek Ain stopped talking with Alicia and gently shook Lan Rou's body.

Lan Rou's eyes fluttered as she woke up, "Yes."

"It's so cozy to be around you."

"Me too, sweetheart, me too." Baek Ain chuckled, giving her a peck on the cheek. "Let's get the others and have dinner."

"Mm." Lan Rou nodded in agreement.

They went to the living room and saw ladies talking to each other.

Weirdly, the men are meditating in the corner of the room.

"What happened here?" Baek Ain asked with a frown.

Qing Lin stood up and explained, "Chief Gu and Yao are stabilizing their mind. The effect of Bodhisattva Ancient Tree shook them a bit too much."

"Also, you are partly responsible for this, husband."

"Isn't that applied to everyone?" Baek Ain was puzzled. "What did I do?"

"Well, I was being a little harsh to men..." Luo Bingbing finally opened her mouth to answer Baek Ain's question.

Yi Xian butted in and giggled, "As for the part of your responsibility, you shocked their mentality too much with your martial prowess. They are old. They cannot get too excited for a reason, you know."

Baek Ain facepalmed himself, 'Aren't they supposed to be the Chief of the Ancient Clan? Isn't their mentality a little too weak?'

"Whatever, I assumed everyone is fine."

"Yes!" The ladies responded simultaneously.

Baek Ain rubbed his chin and said, "Okay, everyone, rest for today. We must prepare ourselves to visit the Hall of Souls."

"Hmm, Hall of Souls?" Everyone was confused by Baek Ain's words.

Baek Ain waved his hand, "They have offended me deeply. And it's time to make them pay..."

'Teacher, you're...' Gu Xun'er covered her mouth in awe. She recalled her recent encounter with the Hall of Souls' group, and Baek Ain promised to visit them three days later.

'Teacher Lin. He's even willing to visit the frightening Hall of Souls to avenge me.'

Unknowingly, Baek Ain created yet another misunderstanding. Well, it makes Gu Xun'er like him more. So, it's a positive misunderstanding.

As everyone left the living room, Baek Ain crashed onto the sofa and brushed his hair back. "What a tiring day." He groaned a little.

"Good job holding on until now." Qing Lin walked behind Baek Ain and massaged his stiff shoulders.

"Um, Ain... Do you get the 100 Reincarnations' chance?" Yi Xian asked hesitantly.

"I did get it." Baek Ain answered with a smile.

"It was a life-changing experience for sure."

"What's the matter, you don't believe in me?"

Yi Xian hurriedly shook her head and pouted, "No. Of course, I believe in you."

"It's just that you must suffer a lot..."

"The same goes for you, Yi Xian." Baek Ain returned casually.

"No, it's different! Three of us only experienced one reincarnation, but you went through one hundred!"

"I can't imagine the pain and sadness you endured to survive that experience..."

'Flower Burial.' Qing Lin stopped massaging Baek Ain's shoulder as she recalled her unfortunate experience.

'Yes, Ain went through a lot for us.' Lan Rou sighed and quietly sat down, giving her fellow wives an understanding gaze.

Qing Lin suddenly lifted Baek Ain's chin and kissed his lips. The mood turned warmer as lips-smacking sounds echoed in the room.

Yi Xian and Lan Rou glanced at each other before nodding at Qing Lin's move.

"Hubby, let me give you relief!" Qing Lin gazed at Baek Ain's hazel-gold eyes warmly.

"No, let us give you relief." Yi Xian and Lan Rou pressed their bodies on Baek Ain.

"Oh well." Baek Ain chuckled helplessly. He was 'deeply' touched by their adorable gesture of love. "Tonight is going to be a long night."

Meanwhile, outside the room. Luo Bingbing is sitting on the floor. 

"Ah, how nice to be able to pamper Husband like that..." She mumbled while biting her lips. 

She was envious of Qing Lin, Lan Rou, and Yi Xian, but she knew her place. She have yet to gain Baek Ain's approval, though he had forgiven her. 

'But I have to admit, watching them doing the deeds is hot!' Luo Bingbing thought with a complicated feeling in her chest.
