Visiting the Soldier's camp at the west gate

As the morning sun began to illuminate the world, casting its radiant glow, Yuan and his wives remained soundly asleep in their room at the inn. Their forms were only lightly covered by a thin fabric.

Yuan had taken the initiative to push the separate beds together the previous night, creating one large bed for them all to sleep on without any hindrance.

"It seems I'm the first one to wake up. They must be exhausted from the carriage ride," he mused to himself.

With a yawn, Yuan stirred from his slumber and noticed that his mother, Emma, and Xi Meili were still asleep. He reasoned they must have been particularly tired from the journey.

"I should get up, wash my face, and then wake them. I also need to collect the bounty and register Rose and her sisters as Hunters at the association," he planned.

Leaving the bed, he made his way to the bathroom, unaware that his mother had woken up just as he entered.
