Under Mathias' decree and the suppression of his towering backing. The influences that eyed the Longinus Pharmaceutical Company simmered down and could only watch as the latter soared towards the skies in indignance. With the acquisition of the monopoly of medicines in the entire Inner Disciples Region.
Money was literally pouring like a river down Dan's pockets. The amount that he could earn in a day rivaled what the Longinus Clan could earn back at the City of Cloud in a year. The disparity made him bitterly chuckle as he profusely thanks Mathias with all of his might.
"I heard from Natalie that you're celebrating Juliet's birthday at night, I'll bring Charlotte with me, I bet that she would be happy to attend," Mathias revealed an amiable smile, Dan returned his gesture by clasping his hands together, "If that's the case then I surely have to prepare the most luxurious banquet that fits with Senior's status..."
Mathias lightly chuckled but didn't reply before disappearing towards the horizon with a bang. Returning back at the Fragrant Pavilion Peak, Natalie and Grace waited for his arrival.
"What are you two doing there? Where is Juliet?" Dan asked in confusion and Natalie lifted her index finger before her lips, "Shhh, she's sleeping right now so let's sneak out and buy her some presents..." Grace chimed in, "Young master, let's be careful not to wake little Juliet up or else she will definitely come with us..."
Dan nodded his head in approval and the three of them sneaked away from the Fragrant Peak Pavilion. Since they departed in such a short notice, Natalie and Grace didn't have the time to completely change their appearance and though Natalie managed to change some parts of her face, her beauty still existed and when she stood beside Grace, the two of them looked like twin goddesses that descended from the heavens.
"Ermm, young master, it seems like most of them are looking at us..." Grace's figure looked fidgety and uncomfortable due to the sudden attention, Natalie also looked the same but when she heard the voices of the crowd, her shoulders faintly trembled as she suppressed her laughter.
"Hey, look! Goddamned it, two exotic beauties in one place, am I using up my entire life's luck at this moment?"
"Damn it, you're right! Especially that silver-haired one, look at her curves, damn and those perky cheeks on her rear, I can't get enough fam..."
"But sadly, it looks like they're taken, there's a guy in between them..."
"Do you mean that guy? Look at his appearance, he looks as delicate as a young woman, I bet that he's being used by the two women as their plaything..."
"Definitely, definitely, there's no way in heavens that he's with those two beauties..."
Veins bulged on Dan's temples and cold air seeped from his body, his expression looked dark while Natalie held her stomach with both of her palms. Her shoulders slightly trembling. Even Grace who normally hid her emotions couldn't help but turn away and cover her mouth using her palm.
Glaring at the spectators, Dan leaked a bit of his killing intent and the murmurs around them, ceased. Darting his gaze back at the two women, Dan said, "Didn't I told you guys that it would be better to change your appearances before we came here?"
Natalie puffed her cheeks and embraced Grace's arm as the latter blushed in embarrassment, "What are you saying, Dear, don't you know the saying that a rich man that doesn't flaunt his riches is as useless as an impotent husband?"
"Pfft!"
Dan spat a mouthful of saliva and he almost lost his breathing. Natalie's vulgar sentence got him and Grace also looked visibly shaken. 'This woman...' Dan thought in his mind and formulated his revenge.
Soon, the three of them arrived before a fashion establishment, the two women excitedly picked elegant clothes for themselves and Dan complained at the side, "Both of you, aren't we supposed to be shopping for Juliet's presents? When did we start shopping for clothes?"
His complaints fell into deaf ears and after witnessing the lights on their faces, Dan didn't complain anymore and just stared at them with a smile on his face.
"Grace," Natalie gestured for Grace and the latter approached her while asking. "What's wrong, Elder Sis? Do you want me to help you choose clothes?"
"No, it's not that, help me choose some underwear..." Natalie suffused a rare blush and she glanced around the area. When she realized that Dan wasn't looking at her direction, she whispered into Grace's ears.
"I heard that men like it when their women are wearing raunchy underwears, can you help me pick some that will suit me?" Natalie pleaded and upon hearing her words. Grace's cheeks exploded into a blush and she backed off in embarrassment, "No, I couldn't possibly help Elder Sis in that case, I'm also inexperienced..."
Natalie held both of her shoulders and winked before whispering, "I know about your feelings for my husband, if you help me choose my underwear and I found the type of underwear that he likes the most, I'll tell you more about it so you can plan your seduction for him..."
Grace's expression flashed with hesitation, but in the end, she nodded her head as a flash of resolve surged within her eyes.
Half an hour later, Natalie and Grace finally emerged from the establishment with an ambiguous smile on their faces. Dan stared at them in confusion, Did something good happen? Why are they smiling? He thought to himself but soon dismissed the ideas forming in his mind.
Today, it was Juliet's birthday so he was going to concentrate all of his attention towards the little girl. Arriving before an establishment that sells toys and defensive artifacts suitable for children. Dan bought dozens of defensive talismans and a doll that functioned with the help of Spiritual Qi.
Satisfied with their purchase, the three returned to the Fragrant Peak Pavilion and upon arrival. The two ladies pushed Dan away from Natalie's room and Dan could only shake his head as he prepared himself for the celebration at night.
Wrapping himself up with his apron, Dan once again displayed his culinary might.
Meanwhile, inside Natalie's room, both ladies could be seen stark naked while standing before each other. Natalie's body didn't look as slender as Grace, but her curvaceous figure formed by the passage of time instantly defeated Grace at that department.
However, when it comes to innocence, Natalie couldn't possibly defeat the young maiden. Not only that, Grace was a white-tiger and was completely bald down there. If compared against each other, Natalie could be considered as a veteran predator while Grace was a fledgling adventurer.
Both possessed their own charms and spices.
Natalie and Grace changed their clothes.
Natalie wore a one-piece which stuck on her body, emphasizing her figure and features and Grace wore the same outfit, albeit her clothes were much shorter and it ended above her thighs. Grace held the hem of her one-piece with a tragic expression on her face.
"Elder Sis, I can't possibly wear this outside, it's too short and I could feel a breeze down there..." Grace complained and Natalie shook her head in disapproval.
"That's the appeal that we're looking for, Grace. In reality, men aren't that attracted in seeing naked features of women, however, the sensation of being in the edge of seeing it while not seeing it is the true appeal of women! And that goes for my husband!" Natalie declared, her complicated words stumbled Grace.
"In simpler terms, making him anticipate something while depriving him of his desire is what makes his desire burn even further! That's the appeal of ecchi!" Natalie proudly declared and Grace asked in confusion, "Ecchi?"
Natalie smiled at her, "I don't exactly know the meaning of that term but my husband told me that when we were talking to each other, he says that if a woman truly wants to attract a man, they should do so by manipulating their desires, at that time, he said to me that such techniques should be effective against any man and if not, he's definitely swinging at the other way!"
Grace gulped a mouthful of saliva and she struggled to remove her hands from the hem of her clothes. Nevertheless, she managed to let go of it but the strange sensation of air, brushing past her underwear made her feel fidgety.
"That's it, Grace!" Natalie raised her thumb and acted like a supportive mother-in-law which made Grace wryly smile in return.
When the two ladies exited Natalie's room, the smell of spices and delectable dishes assaulted their noses. Approaching the kitchen, Dan turned towards him and received a shock when he saw their outfits.
Clad in a jet-black one-piece, Natalie looked like a fierce seductress while Grace beside her whose figure clad in a pure white one-piece with the same design as Natalie looked like a lone flower atop a mountain peak.
The outfit of the two didn't look any different from each other apart from the color, but when the person in question actually wore it in person, the difference became visible. Natalie's mature features gave everyone a wholesome sensation while looking at her while Grace's undeveloped features made anyone feel a heroic urge to protect her for all of their lives or if not, they would feel the desire to ravage such a desirable flower.
Particularly, Grace whose white one-piece looked somewhat transparent under the illumination of the sun and paired with the fact that her clothes ended above her thighs, Dan's body reacted and he almost couldn't resist his urges.
Glancing at Natalie, he found that the latter winked at his direction and Dan could only wonder about what's going on inside that brain of hers.
Normally, a wife despised seeing their husband with other women but Natalie was different, she encouraged such acts and even showed signs of helping Dan build his own harem which was something that he currently disliked.
But of course, if the feelings were mutual then he wouldn't mind taking a second wife. Darting his gaze at Grace, Dan was still unsure whether he liked her or not. After all, as someone who lived for decades back in his previous life, he felt weirded out taking a sixteen years old young woman as his wife.
Shaking his head, he dismissed the lecherous thoughts in his mind and focused on the task at hand.
And that was to celebrate Juliet's birthday in the most extravagant and remarkable way possible!
