After-Combat Care
Soon enough, Edrick came back home, he had found out that by focusing on the energy flow of Mountain Sasquatch Body and reversing it, he could actually undo the transformation completely and not even leave behind any fur, the method felt a bit crude and had taken him much too long to actually get over with for what it was all about, but it allowed him to skip the trimming part and just sit down on the couch in front of the fireplace after ridding himself of all the extra winter clothing.
His fight with the sasquatch lord might have been rather short and expeditive, but Anoteros had still received some blows from the ape, and that hairy bastard hit like truck, even with his superior body enhanced by multiple body cultivation techniques, potions and the likes, he still felt like a herd of wildebeests had ran him over.
Adrenaline certainly was one hell of a drug, he had not felt an ounce of pain at all, at least he had avoided getting any bones damaged, but he still looked like a mess, Edrick was in need of some rest and peace, thankfully, the perfect solution for some comfort after such great effort was present in four versions in this household.
Normally, not all of his wives would come up to him when he came back as they tended to be focused on something and weren't just waiting for him to come back behind the door like dogs, but as though sensing that their beloved lord-husband was hurt, they all showed up within a few dozens of seconds.
He was beginning to suspect that the Crest Of Domination did not only give him insight into what his wives were thinking or how they felt, but also allowed them to sense certain things about him in return, though they did not seem to notice that it was the case, more like they just had a vague vibe of something, and since they so diligent, they just had to make sure and check out if the vibe was correct.
"Lord Edrick… You have blood on your face" remarked Linmin, looking awfully worried.
"Aren't you adorable when you're all panicky? Don't worry, I just bled a little" he smiled at his second wife, who did not appear all that reassured, the reaction was completely different from when he had sparred with Elder Gang, probably because Linmin's imagination was allowed to run wild as to why or how he had gotten hurt.
"Hold on, I'll go get the nursing kit…" Anoteros watched Linmin run off, or it would be more accurate to say sprint.
'He's quite a bit faster than I remember, that's nice' Edrick was in no hurry to get treated, by all accounts, his injuries were fine, and he had already cleaned the bleeding wound on his forehead, it was just that even small cuts there pissed out blood even if small and not that deep.
"Lord Anoteros, are you alright?" then from behind, Fanqia proved at his scalp before pushing the back of her husband's head against her buxom, the plumpness and size providing a most optimal comfort.
"I am fine, just a bit beaten up, it should serve as nice progress for the Encyclopedia Of Self-Infliction" he replied with a smile, his first wife pouting at the fact that he was thinking about gains instead of his well-being, this clearly wasn't the result of controlled training and hadn't been planned for.
"Who could have possibly done this to you, Lord Lucien?" asked Luxuli as she rubbed his shoulder.
"Gods, you are so handsome like this- I mean…" Hui coughed to try and cover the involuntary slip of her tongue there.
Linmin came back and carefully tapped the wound with a piece of cotton coated in a medicinal product, the slightest burning sensation coursing around the cut, as his second wife did this, Edrick looked over to his third wife, the fact that Hui was at the residence at this hour of the day made it rather obvious that his wives were preparing something, as that bookworm would not miss a day of work for just any reason.
Though he kept quiet about it, he found it very cute that they thought themselves slick.
"Are you hurt anywhere else, Lord Edrick? You don't have any broken bones, right?" Linmin had never been so worried before, but he didn't get to be worried for long as Anoteros pulled the foppouf onto his lap, Linmin's lithe body against his sculpted muscle, his second wife melting into his arms as he caressed the top of Linmin head.
"I am telling, I am fine"
"But Lord Anoteros, what happened? I have never seen so much hurt before…" Fanqia leaned closer, nearly engulfing her husband's head in between her heavy melons.
"Just got into a small squabble with a monkey, but it's fine, I killed and ate him in the end… Got a shiny bloodline thanks to this too" he explained, pulling them all against him.
"A bloodline?! Lord Edrick, that is incredibly valuable, do you know its capabilities?"
"You got it from a creature, Lord Lucien? Do you know if it's an already known one, or is it unique? Was it one it was born with or one that was acquired by the ape?!"
"My Lord, what sort of monkey was it? The cute type or the despicable type?"
"Lord Anoteros, doesn't it mean that this will make you be in consideration as the heir of your clan? Bloodlines are even rarer than physiques, and I heard that they are more easily transmitted to offsprings too… It could be a great opportunity for your family"
"Now… Calm down a little, my bruises ache a little bit, let us lay down and I'll tell you all about it" Edrick chuckled, his wives seemed even more excited by the news than he was.
And this is how they ended up cuddling in the bedroom, with their clothes on for a change, Edrick lying on his back, with his head supported by the divine cushion that were Fanqia's thighs, his left running through Luxuli's hair as she had her head laid on his shoulder.
His right arm seized completely by Hui who had both arms and legs locked around it, whilst Linmin was also on the right side, but with his head having instead chosen to press up against his husband's toned abs.
He answered their questions for a little while, not hiding anything from his loyal possessions, but eventually, they all just fell asleep, and Anoteros followed suit, it wasn't even remotely late, but this situation was most comfortable.
