Glancing at the banquet table not far from the pavilion, Cai Deng and Guan Tong were drooling as they fixated on Yun Yao with hungry eyes. Particularly, Caideng kept gesturing wildly with his hands, obviously fantasizing about some intimate scenario later that night. Damn it, if only my superpowers weren't gone right now, you two would be dead meat!

But whether today or tomorrow, death is inevitable. Why not let you suffer a little first?

"Brother Zhao," magistrate Wu anxiously called out several times, noticing my abnormal reaction.

I suddenly snapped back to reality - rushing through this wouldn't work. I needed to proceed slowly like with Zhou Ni. "Elder Brother Wu, sorry for the rudeness."

Wu magistrate chuckled, "No need to apologize. Look at these men - which one hasn't been behaving inappropriately? Except me of course."

I held no official position here, just an outsider doctor. To get close to Yun Yao I needed Wu's assistance. After thinking a moment, I said, "Elder Brother Wu, there is something I wish to request."

Still engrossed in the performance, Wu reluctantly turned back. "Go ahead, my dear brother."

"Have you noticed how this Yun girl resembles someone familiar?"

Wu suddenly recalled and whacked his thigh. "Ah! Isn't she one of those seven women from your paintings? Forgive my poor memory - so this Yun girl is your lost love? My goodness, in person she's even more beautiful than the portrait. Her dancing moves are mesmerizing!"

Upon hearing this, Madam Wu dramatically swept her sleeve and left first. Wu awkwardly smiled, "Don't be upset by my wife - you know her father is a chancellor of the court."

"I understand your predicament," I replied.

Wu nodded sagely, "My dear brother truly understands me. Then why don't you go up there now?"

I bowed deeply and explained, "Elder Brother Wu, this is precisely my dilemma. My friends have amnesia and no longer remember who I am. If I suddenly introduce myself it might make them think I'm some villain."

Wu was puzzled. "Amnesia? How can I help?"

"I'm wondering if you could ask your wife to invite Yun Yao over for a chat, then introduce us through her. Once she's less wary of me, I'll explain our past."

Wu chuckled, "Clever idea! You're truly brilliant. Wait here while I fetch my wife."

Though Wu Rong seemed skeptical about my story, out respect he agreed to help.

Shortly after, Madam Wu returned with her husband. Smiling at me she said, "Forgive me for earlier - I was unaware Yun Yao was your lost one. Let me send a servant immediately to invite her down here for an introduction."

Suddenly I felt sympathy toward this couple. Though they sometimes made choices that conflicted with my principles out of political necessity, there were still redeemable qualities about them I hadn't fully appreciated before.

Yun Yao's dance finally ended. Despite the crowd's reluctant sighs, she had to accept her reward from the hostess. Under thousands of expectant gazes, Yun Yao glided over in her dancing costume toward the pavilion.

Cai Deng and Guan Tong were practically seething with jealousy, especially Cai Deng who was frantically searching for his subordinate while muttering curses. His servant hadn't returned yet - if this failed he'd wanted to feed him raw. He had heard rumors about this celestial beauty but now seeing her in person made his heart race like war drums and his manhood stand at attention uncontrolled.

Yun Yao composedly bowed before Madam Wu, "Thank you for the reward."

Coughing slightly, Madam Wu said, "Rise. Take a seat please."

Seizing this opportunity, I grabbed my chair and hurried over, making Cai Deng and Guan Tong furious enough to nearly vomit blood. Though their status wasn't insignificant, compared to Wu's life-saving benefactor they weren't allowed into the pavilion.

"Please take a seat," I said calmly, arranging my chair as I addressed Yun Yao.

Yun Yao visibly shivered, her shoulders trembling slightly. She was facing Madam Wu with her back to me when she suddenly turned around and met my eyes filled with tears. "I knew you wouldn't abandon us! I knew you'd come find us! No matter what you will never give up on us, husband..."

I stared at her in stunned disbelief - others were equally baffled. This beauty hailed as the greatest talent of Shuang Cheng Kingdom was speaking in incomprehensible gibberish? Was this some divine language only angelic beings used? The sound she made was strangely enchanting coming from such a beautiful mouth yet why did those tears fall for me?

My shock came from her recognizing me - while I had been devising ways to approach her! When I thought Cheng Susu might recognize me, she didn't; when I thought Yun Yao wouldn't remember me, she did. What a moment of dizziness could I feel!

Completely ignoring the audience, Yun Yao sobbed and threw herself onto me. "Brother Zhao! I've waited so long to find you again! From now on I'll never let you leave - no more Mars for me! I want to stay by your side always be your little wife. Hold me tightly, Yun Yao is so scared..."

Forget all those jealous eyes burning with hatred watching us. With both arms I pulled her close to my chest and whispered fiercely, "Yun Yao, don't worry anymore. From now on I won't let you leave again. I thought you had amnesia - otherwise I would have recognized you onstage instead of going through the hassle of asking Wu to introduce us."

After the initial outburst, Yun Yao's emotions calmed slightly though remaining in my arms was awkward under everyone's gaze. She leaned close and whispered, "Brother Zhao, I actually recovered from amnesia several days ago. If you found me now, did you find the other girls? Their memories still haven't returned yet. Let me down quickly - people are watching!"

I could ignore Cai Deng and Guan Tong but couldn't treat Wu and his wife so dismissively. Releasing Yun Yao I respectfully bowed to them, "Elder Brother Wu and Elder Sister, it turns out that Yun Yao recovered her memory several days ago. What a divine coincidence we reunited here at your manor! Truly grateful to you."

Madam Wu wiped her eyes earnestly, "Brother Zhao, this is fate. Without your treatment my life would have been in danger. You saved me once - now heaven has returned one of your lost loves as reward for your kindness!"

Originally skeptical about our relationship, Wu was now fully convinced by what he saw. Though envious, he knew his place and sincerely said, "Congratulations to you dear brother."

Now I needed to address Yun Yao's status first. In this era, entertainers were essentially slaves. "Yun Yao," I asked gently, "are you being held hostage by the troupe? Just tell me how much it costs for your freedom."

Shyly she smiled and said, "Wouldn't I be a fool to fall into their trap?" She subtly patted her waist. The outline suggested a laser gun - my clever Yun Yao had better defensive capabilities than others!

"Besides," she continued, "I have the anti-gravity shoes which work perfectly here. Who could possibly catch me if I wanted to run? I joined voluntarily because touring the country might help me find the other girls and we can plot together how to return home."

With a pained expression I pulled her close again. "Yun Yao, you've worked so hard. From now on let me take care of everything!"

She replied with concern, "It's actually Brother Zhao who has been working hard - there are so many responsibilities in the Federation and we only bring trouble to you."

Wu suddenly coughed. Both of us realized it was time to leave before the crowd turned into an angry mob. The jealous stares were making my skin crawl - I had offended every single male here! Though our conversation was in Mandarin they couldn't understand, but seeing me holding Yun Yao and rubbing her made them all furious.

I bowed politely to everyone, "Ladies and gentlemen, this girl is my lost bride who has now been reunited with me. Thank you for your attention!"

Wu and his wife clapped as the crowd reluctantly followed suit - after all they were the supreme authority in Feiying Mansion. A few scattered applause broke out among reluctant sighs when the troupe owner finally arrived.

Looking dejectedly at Yun Yao he said, "Miss Yun, now that you've found your family are you going to leave our troupe?"

Yun Yao respectfully replied, "Of course, but thank you for taking me in. As promised all income will be yours as a token of gratitude."

The owner looked both happy and worried - happy about the generous income yet anxious about losing his star performer who made their show famous.

Being an open-hearted man and not lacking in money, Wu shouted, "Bring the steward! This troupe owner helped my brother greatly. Give him a substantial reward!"

After thanking Wu I said, "Elder Brother Wu, if you'll excuse me now I need to return to my room."

Wu glanced meaningfully at Yun Yao, "Of course, of course. You two should have time alone. Tomorrow morning I will see you both off."

Amidst the crowd's jealous gazes I proudly led Yun Yao away from the courtyard - this girl was mine! All those envious eyes could stare till they popped - she would only moan and flirt in my arms, perform her most exciting dance just for me. You won't have such luck even in your next life.

When we were alone, Yun Yao took my hand with a flirty tone, "Brother Zhao where are you taking me? How did you arrive here? Are the other girls well?"

"Back to our room and I'll tell you everything," I replied. "By the way Zhou Ni is also here but please don't mention anything between her and me - she still can't remember who we were."

"You're amazing already finding Zhou Ni!" Yun Yao said happily.

"Not just Zhou Ni, I found Cheng Susu too! So now there are three of them."

Yun Yao gripped my hand even tighter. These girls had always relied on me heavily, thinking me omnipotent despite being ordinary now. I wondered how they would react when learning about this.

CLANG - The door opened suddenly. Linglong and Dali Wan were supposed to be my assistants but Dali Wan was busy packing the goods we bought that day while Linglong wanted to chat with Zhou Ni longer so both stayed in our room.

"Yun Yao!" it was Linglong who opened the door, shocked at seeing me dragging a girl inside. The bright lights illuminated Yun Yao's face clearly for recognition.

Looking closely at Linglong she asked confusedly, "Brother Zhao who is this? How does she know my name?"

"This is my wife-searching assistant," I explained. "Her name is Linglong. She drew the seven portraits of you girls so naturally recognized you."

Linglong stared intently at Yun Yao while Yun Yao observed her carefully too. Then suddenly Yun Yao smiled and whispered with a small voice, "She's very young - even younger than Fangfang by several years! Brother Zhao your tastes are getting more refined... Oh how should I scold you!"

These wives had gradually learned my temper and felt free to say anything they wanted around me, especially Yun Yao who after gaining fame in Earth entertainment industry had overcome her former insecurities.

I pinched her cheek, "Don't talk nonsense. Fortunately Linglong doesn't understand our language otherwise it would be very embarrassing! She's only twelve years old - just a child!"

"But what are you two talking about? Are you talking about me?" Linglong asked as she didn't understand the conversation.

"Good news for you," I told her, "It turns out that the dancing beauty at Wu's banquet is Yun Yao! And surprisingly she already recovered from amnesia. Today has been such a happy day!"

"But I'm not happy!" Linglong pouted dramatically and stormed back to her room without another word.

Though Linglong couldn't understand Mandarin, Yun Yao could speak Shuang Cheng dialect and stifled laughter. "Brother Zhao how can you deny there's something between you? Look at how jealous she is!"

If I were innocent with Linglong the truth would still be suspicious - that day in Madam Wu's room when I had already thoroughly examined her body! Though some areas hadn't fully developed yet, she was already showing womanly curves. Such "molestation" made it impossible for anyone to believe we remained platonic.

But she was only twelve years old! That was too young even compared to Zhao Fang who was fourteen when we... And Zhao Fang's figure couldn't compare at all - her body had fully matured, unlike Linglong who still looked very juvenile. Yet if I admitted anything with Linglong it would ruin my image! Wasn't that perverted - targeting a twelve-year-old girl?

Awkwardly smiling and ignoring Yun Yao's jealousy, I said, "Come on, let me take you to see Zhou Ni."

Zhou Ni was sitting alone in the living room staring at nothing by candlelight. When we entered she didn't notice us immediately. Yun Yao suddenly rushed over and hugged her excitedly, shouting, "Ni Ni where have you been these days? I missed you so much!"

Startled, Zhou Ni let out a scream before realizing it was just another girl hugging her. "Who are you?"

Yun I recall that we were good friends from Earth. Even though you've forgotten me now, it's okay - I had amnesia too but recovered several days ago. You'll probably remember soon."

"Did we really used to be close?" Zhou Ni tried organizing the fragmented memories in her mind.

Smiling, Yun Yao said, "Very close indeed! And that kind of intimate friendship. This Brother Zhao is also our good friend - though you don't remember now. I'll tell you everything gradually."

Hearing her speak the same language and feeling familiar and safe from this girl's aura (and not needing to be overly cautious as it was another woman), Zhou Ni happily nodded, "Great! Then why don't we sleep together tonight?"

Ugh... I desperately shot Yun Yao a pleading look. I'm just an ordinary man -，！

Yun Rao apologetically smiled but couldn't bear to meet my burning eyes. Actually she was also quite shy and had only called me "husband" briefly at the courtyard before switching back to "Brother Zhao". Let her stay with Zhou Ni tonight - tomorrow night I could enjoy having two wives!

KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK! The door suddenly slammed urgently. Linglong checked outside and then came in to call out, "Master, Madam Wu is unwell again - the servants are asking you to examine her!"

What's going on? I thought she had already recovered. Turning to Yun Yao I said, "You stay here with Zhou Ni while I go check."

Yun Yao nodded, "Go ahead Brother Zhao, we have plenty of time together in the future."

Double meaning - this was Yun Yao telling me not to dwell too much about losing out on tonight's chance since she would help Zhou Ni recover memories tomorrow night. With two wives by my side then, there will definitely be energy to spare!

"Quickly Linglong, take the medicine kit - we need to hurry!"

Understanding the situation, Linglong didn't pout but shouldered the medical case as both of us rushed toward the back courtyard with Wu's servants.
