The Eastern Sanmu Metropolis cared little about the happenings and misfortunes of cultivators outside of its borders. The tragedy that befell Everblade City was a notable event in the southern and eastern regions of the subcontinent but it hardly caused a stir within the massive metropolis. Indeed, it was possible for many to live their whole lives here without a care for the outside world.

And the oldest, grandest ruler of this wonder of human creation was the Huang Family. One of the Four Kings, they resided in the Golden Tower and lorded over the masses as only a true king realm faction could.

Today, a most special event had taken hold of the Golden Tower and the massive pagoda was alive with activity from top to bottom. It was not a holiday or a celebration, it was simply the fact that Immortal Ardent Duchess Su Tan had woken up. She had suffered great injuries due to the demon attack. It had taken countless doctors and precious medicines but she had finally returned to the land of the living.

It could not be understated just how popular she was among the Huang Family. She had more admirers than blades of grass across an endless plain. As soon as they heard, they stormed up to her level and lined up in front of her room bearing gifts they had already prepared. Although she was married, although she did have a husband, nobody showed that person any face.

A bystander might feel like this was the strangest and saddest sight they have ever seen, hordes of men, young and old, strong and weak, vying for the attention of a married woman.

"These useless bastards!" A furious shout was heard by almost no one at the very top of the Golden Tower.

Immortal Solemn Duke Huang Wuji stood in the middle of an opulent room, breathing heavily, his body glowing with golden energy. The object of his anger, a crystal tea cup lay shattered on the floor.

"Please, my king, it's nothing you should be angry about." An even older and frail-looking man stood to one side with a blank expression.

His name was Chief Caretaker Ma, a eunuch that served the Huang Family. He waved his hand behind his back and a pair of younger eunuchs appeared from somewhere and quickly swept away the mess of broken crystal.

"I have to be angry!" Huang Wuji continued, "How can I not be angry when so many shameless bastards are living under my roof?"

"My king, those are all your sons or grandsons…" Chief Caretaker Ma replied carefully.

"They can all go to hell, all of them are useless!" Huang Wuji shouted and then finally slumped into a chair.

This matter had been a sore spot for him for a long time, the fact that everyone in the Huang Family was so enamored with Su Tan. He didn't know if he should laugh or cry.

"Why did she go and marry that useless person…" He brooded as he picked up another crystal cup and took a drink.

The old servant waited in silence for a while before speaking, "My king, at a glance, this Huang Zhiheng from the thirtieth generation is indeed a useless person. His practice of the Gold Power Law has not reached the third power after so many years. His cultivation level might not reach the lesser realms of the Spirit Initiate in this lifetime. Compared to geniuses of the eighteenth generation or the twenty-first generation or even the ones in his generation, he is worthless like dust."

Huang Wuji snorted in annoyance and continued to drink.

The old servant continued, "But what if this is exactly what Lady Su wanted from the beginning? Only with such a weak husband could she have total control of everything and grow to the position she is now.

"Nonsense!" Huang Wuji snapped, "She is where she is now because I allowed her to. I gave her the true secrets of the Gold Power Law and I trained her. She should be thanking me instead of that idiot!"

Chief Caretaker Ma's lips twitched slightly in amusement, "My king, why don't you just admit that you want her all to yourself, that you want to be the first in line to see her and no one else?"

The immortal let out a barking laugh and then waved his hand, "Old Ma, you're still the one that knows me the best. That's right. What I wouldn't give to make her my woman… But it doesn't matter. How can a king such as I steal my son's woman? Even if he is a useless waste of air, he is still my son. And as for these other sons of mine, I know for certain that they can lust over her all they want but nothing will happen. She doesn't care about a single one of them."

"Does Lady Su have really such a heart of stone?"

Huang Wuji shook his head, "She is beyond words. I don't think I could have won her heart even in my youth. The only thing I could have done is force myself on her but I don't have the heart to ruin such a treasure."

He slapped the armrest and sighed, "Whatever, talking about her has kind of gotten me in the mood."

The servant bowed, "Yes, my king. They have been prepared in your bed chamber."

Huang Wuji nodded and stood up. Without a look back, he strode into the side corridor attached to the main room and then entered his bedroom.

Within stood a large number of young women. Each one was a beauty brimming with charm and allure. They all watched the wizened immortal with anxious yet excited expressions.

Huang Wuji stopped and studied them for a while, appreciating each woman's half-naked figure before moving on to the next. They were about the same height. Their hair was black and sleek. Their physiques were all around the same and the exact type he enjoyed. Breasts not too large but perky and firm, hips not too wide but still enough to exude sexuality, limbs that were slender but not too skinny, these were the exact traits of Immortal Ardent Duchess Su Tan, the one woman he wanted but couldn't have.

"You all understand what you are here to do?" He asked gruffly. "You are here to bear my children. They will become members of the thirty-first generation of the Huang Family. And you will naturally become a part of the family as well."

"Thank you, King Huang!" They all said and bowed.

His eyes continued to roam as if he was trying to choose one, "No need to be anxious, the order won't matter. Be patient. I will make sure to impregnate each and every one of you before you leave this room."

"Yes, King Huang!"

He beckoned a hand towards the one that reminded him most of Su Tan. With a gentle surge of golden energy, he pulled her to him and together, they fell onto the bed. As the silk drapes closed around them, his voice mixed together with the coquettish cries and pleasure-filled moans.
