Xiaowei Ma leaned against the thin blanket, a girl once opened to love and now burdened by cares would no longer care for anything beyond her beloved man. Hearing her sister's excited shouts, she answered in a drowsy tone: "What good news could you possibly have? Look yourself. I'm not in the mood today. I can tell he was angry about my coldness today. But what can I do? It's me who wronged him. Managing to face him with such shame is already beyond my capacity."

Xiaowei Ma recalled their first meeting - that man wasn't unpleasant at all, quite the opposite in fact; his lecture on military tactics during their initial encounter had been refreshing. "Beauty trap"! The audacity of it. He was talented and handsome, and had touched skin to skin to save her life. To claim indifference would be impossible. If not for him, how could a little girl or a noble princess lower herself to propose marriage?

Xiaorui Ma didn't care what her royal sister was thinking. She leaped onto Xiaowei's bed, causing her to shriek and push away. "Don't play with me anymore, I'm already embarrassed enough! It's because of our '' incident that I feel so bad today!"

Xiaorui Ma exclaimed excitedly: "Look sister! Your husband is in bed with two girls! And he made them kiss each other like us! My guess was right. You were overthinking - oh my god, finally I can relax!"

This revelation left Xiaowei Ma stunned. Whatever involved him she had to pay attention to. Now hearing about his intimate encounter with two women causing mutual affection... Her hands trembled as she grabbed the phone from her sister's grasp. The screen showed three naked bodies entangled in some strange act, accompanied by chaotic noises.

Upon examining the scene closely, Xiaowei Ma flung the phone under the bed. He-he-what were they doing without clothes? So embarrassing!

Xiaorui retrieved the phone and said: "Sister, people do this when they're married. When we did it last time didn't we also take off all our clothes? We should learn from this, or else how will you know what to do with your future husband?"

Xiaowei Ma closed her eyes: "How could they be like that? I haven't even considered such things before. It's terrifying. I'd rather not choose a husband and just stay in the inner city with you."

"Come on sister," Xiaorui said, "these must be marital intimacy movies. How can we control how others do it? We only need to take one lesson from this."

Xiaowei Ma felt her emotions spiraling out of control. If these acts were necessary for married couples... Did that mean she'd have to shamelessly lift her bottom like those girls when she had a husband? Impossible! It was too degrading.

"What could there possibly be to learn?" Xiaowei snapped, angry at her sister's recklessness.

Xiaorui laughed: "Don't you see what this proves? Your biggest worry is that little incident between us right? Well look at your brother-in-law - he seems completely unfazed! He looks quite enjoying it. This brother-in-law suits me perfectly. Our men here are so stuffy, always preaching about rules and regulations... I find it annoying. How much more fun could it be if we just let go?"

A sudden clarity struck Xiaowei Ma. Of course! Her worries had been unnecessary all along. The thought she'd caused him distress that morning was painful - his sour expression during the meeting had seemed like he owed her ten thousand iron coins.

The sounds from the screen continued to torment the two princesses, their eyes fixated on it again until they started trembling with excitement. Xiaorui's voice shook as she asked: "Sister, if you were up there doing this... Could you manage? Should we practice first? Otherwise even if you capture your husband what good will it do? You won't know how to please him. My body feels so strange - can you hug me?"

Xiaowei Ma felt her body tighten further. She swallowed hard: "No more mistakes! Not unless he's here himself. Don't give me any trouble anymore!"

Xiaorui collapsed into her sister's arms: "Sister, I don't understand why watching this makes my chest feel so tight. Can I just touch myself? Will it really be a problem for you?"

Though unaware of the details, Xiaowei couldn't refuse her sister's request - especially since she felt the same urge to touch.

Xiaorui didn't wait for permission before slipping her hand under her skirt - this was becoming routine: "Sister, will you please massage my breasts? Like last time! Pleaseee, I'm so desperate!"

The moans from Xiaorui seemed magically enticing. Hearing those pleasured gasps, Xiaowei Ma's body moved involuntarily as she reached under her sister's dress...

The intense sensation caused Xiaorui to lose control again. Her eyes fixed on her sister's full breasts when suddenly an impulse surged through her. Without hesitation she tore open Xiaowei's blouse...

Watching from the city wall, I realized my plan had failed - Lin Gu's reinforcements were exiting camp despite my strategy to block them at the gates. The Three Brother's troops hadn't stopped them. Four thousand soldiers against five thousand was impossible anyway. More importantly, there was no hidden area to ambush four thousand men. My plan needed adjustment.

I wasn't angry that Brother Three had modified his tactics. Later when I saw how he'd divided his forces and decimated the enemy ranks, I felt proud. After all, my personal abilities were limited. Only by cultivating adaptable generals could we save Shuangcheng Kingdom.

The intense battle made Sun Chang, Gu Fei, Kong Wu's faces flush with excitement as they watched from behind me. Turning around to them I said: "Don't get anxious. If you want to fight on the battlefield I'll give everyone opportunities. Staying by my side as bodyguards isn't a real future."

They hastily bowed: "Sir, we don't mean any disrespect! We're very happy staying with you. The other soldiers are envious of us too! Being under your protection gives us confidence everywhere we go!"

I replied: "All three of you have skill and intelligence. Not giving you opportunities would be a shame. There's no rush now - ahead lies Hongping County, Luyang Prefecture, Liuyang City. We'll fight many battles. Our forces will grow larger as well. Then you can train separately. If you want to return after training I won't refuse."

They kowtowed: "Thank you sir for caring about us! We'll serve with all our heart and strength!"

"You don't need to thank me," I said, "you've been protecting me every day. The gratitude should be on my side. Whenever there's an opportunity I'll let you show your abilities."

Knowing the battle was already decided without suspense, I said: "Let them fight for now. I'm going back to the general's residence to retrieve my phone. If I don't eat soon my stomach might flatten from hunger. Yun Yao and Linglong are waiting for me."

Upon entering the General's Residence I found palace maids gathered in the front hall. Puzzled, I asked: "Where are the two princesses?"

A maid replied: "The princesses have just finished their meals and are resting behind. Sir is looking for the Sixteenth Princess about that treasure? She said she was watching a movie back there. Just go directly to her room."

Alarmed by this news - though my phone did contain movies, some contents weren't appropriate for Xiaorui to see. If she fumbled with it... I sprinted into the princess's quarters.

I called out twice but got no response. Then came a sudden scream: "Yaaaaa..." Thinking an assassin had attacked, I drew my laser gun and kicked open the door dramatically before pointing my weapon at the two figures inside.

"Ah!" Two screams - one mine, one from Xiaowei Ma.

The scene froze me in disbelief. Xiaowei was hugging Xiaorui, her blouse unbuttoned revealing full white breasts that forced me to squint. One breast was tightly gripped by Xiaorui while the other was sucked into her mouth. Xiaowei's furrowed brow suggested not pain but repressed pleasure.

Xiaorui heard the door opening but couldn't stop due to the euphoria overtaking her senses.

Though still holding Xiaorui's small breast, Xiaowei was now as motionless as stone, muttering incoherently: "No-no that's not what it is! I don't want this! This isn't me!"

Recovering from my shock, if these were Hua Qingqing and Yi Xiaoru or any other women having self-pleasure I wouldn't react. But they were princesses - teenagers in a society with strict feudal morals.

Worse still was that I had seen their breasts which would definitely cement my "big pervert" reputation. Xiaorui's little peaches looked fascinating, two round mounds of flesh looking quite sexy under Xiaowei's hands.

Though the sexual play between princesses wasn't objectionable itself, noticing Xiaowei's face suggested I'd caused a major disaster. Rushing to cover my tracks I turned around and pulled the door shut: "Apologies - nearsightedness left me seeing nothing."

Behind me came a crash as I refused to look back but couldn't resist peeking through the door crack on my way out... Oh no! Xiaowei had jumped from bed toward the wall and knocked over the screen in her panic!

I kicked open the door again just in time - that very wall at the entrance where she was about to collide.

I caught her head with my body shielding it against the wall, causing Xiaowei to crash into my chest so violently I nearly choked. She must have been determined to die! What nonsense was this? If this happened to any of my wives they'd also likely try to commit suicide despite their deep love for me and mine for them. These local girls had no sense of sexual maturity at all.

Yet it was my own carelessness that caused the trouble. That initial scream from Xiaorui clearly marked her climax as a musical note, which I mistook for an assassin's attack on the princesses. Now I'd ruined two young girls' good times - to them this must be more shameful than being deflowered.

Embracing Xiaowei I said: "You almost killed me! What nonsense is it that you want to die over? Is your life worth giving up for such trivial things? What would happen to me if you died?"

Xiaowei struggled to strike again, but I held her tight. She cried: "Zhao Qian, I betrayed you by being shameless enough to ruin my reputation and bring disgrace upon the royal family! Let go of me! Let me die!"

Fully exhausted from self-pleasure, Xiaorui couldn't move yet but managed to whisper urgently: "Zhao Qian, it's not my sister's fault. It was all my doing. If anyone must die let it be me. I've brought her so much trouble - I'm sorry sister!"

Xiaowei struggled too violently for me to notice when she grabbed her breast unintentionally. Seeing her losing sanity I delivered a light punch that knocked her unconscious. Her limp body fell into my arms, the pure white cleavage still exposed despite being such an inappropriate moment.

Carefully laying Xiaowei back on bed, Xiaorui grew silent but stared at me with bright eyes - as if smiling at me while being caught in the act of self-pleasure. This princess was different from her sister's reserved nature; she was refreshingly open-minded.

Since my punch hadn't been too strong, soon Xiaowei began to awaken less violently than before. Sitting beside her I gently stroked her forehead: "Are you two out of your minds? Is this why you're acting so dramatically over being caught? When young people first explore sexual curiosity they often do silly things from curiosity. Even adults sometimes like playing such games - nothing unusual! You both must still be virgins, reserved for future husbands. That's already quite admirable in my hometown. In fact, most of the boys and half the girls there have experimented with self-pleasure before. If your generation reacted this way like you did back then, humanity probably wouldn't exist on Earth anymore."

Xiaorui grabbed the nearby phone which had just finished playing automatically - she obviously didn't know how to operate it. Holding it up to Xiaowei she said: "Sister! Brother-in-law is right. Nothing bad here. And besides you'll be married someday, your bodies will naturally see each other eventually. But me? I've already kissed and touched the brother-in-law before so this second time shouldn't matter at all. So why were you being foolish earlier sister? Two girls just touching is nothing to worry about when even the brother-in-law doesn't care! Why are you suddenly feeling guilty?"

Xiaowie's face remained deathly pale, ignoring her sister completely.

Sensing her sister's fear, Xiaorui carefully climbed off bed and whispered in my ear while covering her chest: "Brother-in-law, I know it was my fault for getting addicted to the sensations. I'll stop calling you big pervert from now on. Just please help calm down my sister! Don't let me disappoint you. As for the things about touching and kissing me... we can forget them since I touched your wife first - we can call it even!"

After Xiaorui left, Xiaowei still remained silent with tears streaming continuously while clutching sheets so tightly her lips bled blood-red. Her spirit had sunk to rock bottom from committing such indecent acts and being caught in the act by her beloved man.

I'd already kissed her and touched her breasts through clothes - now I couldn't treat her like a stranger anymore. Seeing her condition made me decide to stop hesitating: "Let's get into bed together." The princess' bed was surprisingly comfortable.

Gently taking her hand, she resisted with force but ultimately failed against my strength. "Xiaowei," I said, "I love you. Marry me and become my wife."

Her body jolted slightly though she remained silent. Continuing: "Don't you love me? Is my feeling mistaken? I thought there was real affection between us... but now..."

Still only sixteen, Xiaowei interrupted tearfully: "No! Zhao Qian I do love you! I want to marry you and become your wife or concubine as we call it here. This has been long-awaited, but now... I'm a dirty woman unworthy of you. Please go away."

She stopped speaking again like an unresponsive plant, tears continuously dropping.

Internally thinking of her as an old-fashioned girl in need of guidance with different methods, "Xiaowei," I deliberately sighed: "Actually there's something I've been keeping from you..."

Pausing for a long time without speaking, Xiaowei's concern eventually made her tremble with anxiety to ask: "What is it? Is it important? I'm unworthy and can only die to atone. Even if you stop me from hitting the wall I'll starve myself!"

"I won't prevent your death," I said, "but first tell me if you truly love me - be honest and determined."

Xiaowei answered firmly: "I already stated my love! Otherwise why would I defy royal etiquette to propose? Do you think this is a joke? I don't even know how to explain this situation to the Emperor yet!"

Hugging her from behind, Xiaowei's attention shifted temporarily as she stopped resisting. Her body remained stiff but less tense now.

"I'm relieved," I said, "I thought you weren't genuinely in love with me. If our feelings are so deep then there's something important I must tell you to be fair. You may hate me after hearing it."

Xiaowei replied: "There's also something I must confess! I already did this with Xiaorui once before. If it were my first time maybe I could hope for forgiveness, but doing it twice is unforgivable even to myself. Therefore I must die!"

"It was because of this incident that you've been cold toward me all morning?"

Xiaowei nodded: "We drank victory wine with aphrodisiacs... in the confusion..."

Smirking inwardly - Xiaorui had planned this whole thing out, teasing me

Xiaowei no longer faced away from me, her back to the wall. She lay on her back now, her face less ashen than before. Yet when I reached out to encircle her neck with my arm, she still flinched slightly. "What are you talking about? I don't understand... No matter what, my decision is final. You needn't persuade me further."

I continued, "After we secretly vowed in the garden last time, now it's inevitable that you won't marry anyone but me and I can't wed anyone else. Hence today I must explain everything to you clearly. If you can accept this abnormal side of me, we'll overcome all obstacles to stay together. But if you cannot accept this abnormality, then let's part ways forever. Even if you wish for death, I won't stop you. In fact, I could even help fulfill your wish."

When Xiaowei heard that I wouldn't obstruct her and would even assist in fulfilling her intentions, half of her wariness melted away. Yet curiosity ignited within her. She asked me curiously, "Then tell me what exactly is abnormal? Even if we cannot be together in this life, at least in the next I could search for you. It's better to understand more."

I said, "You know my many wives are all beautiful and sexy. But even a fairy would feel mundane after spending too much time with me. As our time together grows longer, my desires become colder. Eventually, I need to watch two girls showing affection to each other to... otherwise the part below becomes useless..."

Though confused, Xiaowei sensed an odd familiarity. It felt as if what she'd done with Xiaorui was not wrong but right since it pleased him. "Zhao Qian, I don't understand your words. What does sexual desire mean? And what is self-... Why is the part below so strange..."

My interest had clearly piqued hers. She began discussing forbidden topics with me, which distracted her from fixating on thoughts of death. Yet it seemed necessary to hold an adolescent education seminar in Shuangxing Kingdom - and this princess beside me would be the first student.

"Xiaowei," I said patiently, "self-... is what you and Xiaorui did just now..."

Educating a bright woman proved simple. Xiaowei became increasingly interested with each explanation, actively asking questions despite some being quite explicit. Though bold in her inquiries, she asked them confidently as our bodies gradually aligned face-to-face. Her soft breasts pressed closer to my chest until we were fully embraced. As I told down-and-dirty stories while gently patting her back, Xiaowei listened silently yet hummed a tune of "Xiaowei" softly.

No one offered tea, so by the end my throat burned from speaking endlessly. More troubling was that mentioning certain parts inevitably triggered vivid imaginations, especially with this exposed-breasted girl in my arms. Nine and a half out of ten men would likely experience arousal - yet I had just claimed to be sexually indifferent, forcing myself to suppress any reactions below. It proved extremely exhausting.

Finally, I concluded, "That's the essence between boys and girls. As for... intimate techniques between spouses, we shall discuss them in another special lecture. There are not only normal methods but also others you can't imagine - we'll explore these thoroughly later. By the way, I know exactly where my problem lies: a life lacking novelty leads to sexual indifference. Once when two of my wives kissed each other for fun, I suddenly became extremely... So all my wives now know this secret and always accompany me during intimacy. Didn't you see it on your phone just now? Shall I show more videos to you? They're very exciting."

"No," she replied tearfully, "I believe you already. I'll do anything you say - just promise to stay by my side forever. Otherwise I truly might die." She buried her face deeper in my chest, pulling up her clothes to cover trembling breasts that had peeked out moments ago. "Zhao Qian, don't you hate us for what happened with Xiaorui? When we did it, I wanted to die right there, but Xiaorui stopped me. Later, we secretly asked your guards about how you felt toward maidenly virtue. When they said you didn't place much importance on women's chastity, I gained a sliver of hope for your forgiveness. But today... Xiaorui unknowingly reignited my desires until I lost myself in guilt and committed this grave mistake. I thought dying would be the only redemption, but now that you care so much about me..." She suddenly straightened up, "I don't want to remain a princess anymore. I wish to become your wife."

The word 'desire' coming from Xiaowei's lips felt strangely awkward. "Xiaowei," I said gently, "I love you. What about you?"

She wrapped her arms tightly around me. "Zhao Qian, my feelings have always been clear to you - yet you've pretended not to notice. Now that your forgiveness is secured, I'll never leave you again. I dare not remain cold toward you any longer."

"Ha ha," I chuckled, "It's not that I want to pretend ignorance, it's the psychological pressure you know. So now that you're aware of my abnormality, will you still stay with me and love me?"

Xiaowei blushed slightly. "Do you mean what Xiaorui and I did wasn't wrong? Should we actually do it again for your pleasure?"

This felt unjust to Xiaorui - making me seem like a complete scoundrel. But to maintain the performance, I said, "Of course not wrong! Touch here yourself - see how stimulated I get!"

Gently guiding her hand, she indeed believed me. "It's huge! I'm afraid... Will you treat me as that girl in the picture? And require Xiaorui and me to do it first beforehand? But she might refuse..."

I could no longer withstand her teasing provocations. To keep Xiaorui out of this mess, I said, "After all, Xiaorui isn't part of our team. How could I constantly watch her interact with you like that? You could slowly integrate into my wives' circle instead. Once relationships are harmonious among you all, they'll surely cooperate in doing this for me."

Xiaowei hesitated. "But we don't know them well enough to engage in such things..."

I thought briefly before replying, "That's easy - continue with Xiaorui but just don't have me present during your encounters. When we're intimate later, you can describe it all to me instead. Though Xiaorui is still young, try avoiding this situation as much as possible. It wouldn't be good if others found out since they might not understand the circumstances."

Xiaowei nodded in understanding. Regarding my abnormality, she seemed quite adaptable. Lowering her voice she asked, "Then... would you like to hear about our previous absurd event?"

"Ah!" I was momentarily speechless - what extraordinary things were these? It truly proved that this fifteenth princess adored me completely. Considering her usual reserved demeanor, such words were unexpectedly difficult to utter.

Of course I wanted to listen for the sake of mood regulation. But as Xiaowei recounted vividly with expressive gestures, I could no longer contain myself. My hand slowly advanced toward a critical position... "Wait - are you having your period?"

Xiaowei blinked in confusion. "Yes, what does that matter? Are you saying it's dirty now?"

I realized the futility of my earlier 'education class' when I completely omitted this crucial detail. Yet after my explanation, Xiaowei finally understood everything. Inspired by our previous discussion, she realized exactly what I needed. However due to her current physical condition she couldn't satisfy me... but a certain scene from the video suddenly flashed through her mind. So she instinctively lowered herself into position...

I was purely starving when I woke up - absolutely not awakened by the beautiful princess pressing against my chest. Judging by the time, dusk must be approaching. Now this would be problematic explaining back to Yun Yao and Linglong.

Tousling Xiaowei's hair with one hand, I muttered in horror at the sticky mess - her chest was soaked with moisture proving intense activity had occurred. With three quick shakes, I woke up Xiaowei as well.

"Prince Consort, have you awakened? Are you still angry with me?"

I smiled. "Do I look like someone who's angry? Ah, being served by such a high-ranking princess - what luxury! My wife, call me 'husband' now. After all, that's how we address each other in our homeland."

Xiaowie wrapped her arms around my waist from behind, her face pressed tightly against my back. "Husband... husband... husband... Is this enough? Though I still prefer the title 'Prince Consort'..." She suddenly hesitated, then declared firmly, "But no matter - I'm destined to be your woman! Work out how to explain things with my father yourself. Will you come visit me tonight? When you're by my side, I feel like the happiest person in the world."

I picked up clothes to wipe clean Xiaowei's body. "Xiaowei, I also wish for it - but we can't spend every day together just yet..."

Xiaowei blushed. "Forgive me, husband! It was my mistake again. You have other wives after all... I forgot about that completely. I swear never to quarrel with them."

I laughed. "Not only because of that - battles are still raging outside. Let me check the situation first. Wash yourself while I'm gone. As for your father and the ministers opposing our relationship, I'll surely find a solution eventually."

Xiaowei nodded. It seemed her younger sister was right after all. Once their relationship advanced past certain boundaries, everything became manageable. Seeing her beloved man about to leave, she hurriedly got up from bed searching for water. "Wait for me - let's go together!"

Girls at this age adored clinging behavior the most. With no choice left, I had to dress and wait by the door for Xiaowei. Not long after, the graceful fifteenth princess reappeared before me in a pure white silk floor-length gown that accentuated her innocence.

Eunuchs and palace maids followed behind - these eunuchs were truly castrated as evident from their expressions. I walked silently behind Xiaowei, catching faint scents of fragrance mixed with another scent only I recognized: the lingering evidence of our recent... activities.

Reporting to the generals about afternoon events, battlefields had already been cleared. Despite losing men and supplies, our resources were even more abundant than when we departed. But none of this excited me much - what I truly desired was a mine for iron or copper, otherwise rapid development would remain impossible.

Liu Dan hadn't returned yet, so after assigning duties as dusk approached, I decided to return home. The others left first while Xiaowei sat centrally on the high platform with an expression radiating happiness when she saw me.

"Your Majesty," I bowed respectfully, "I must leave for now."

Xiaowei suppressed a smile. "Very well General Zhao, come visit early tomorrow morning. There are matters we need to discuss."

Upon returning home, indeed both women ignored me. Linglong even angrily smashed several items with the demeanor of an earth-born shrew - yet after her initial outburst she immediately softened.

"Master," she pouted, "where were you? Did you know Yun Yao and I waited for our dinner until now? Now two meals become one to save rice!"

Yun Yao gave me a resentful glance before going off to order servants for food. Linglong continued complaining while there was no one else in the room. As I stepped forward to encircle her waist with an arm, she jolted and immediately clamped her mouth shut.

"Dear Linglong," I said softly, "I know you're worried about me, right? Promise not to do this again next time?"

Linglong looked shocked at being addressed so tenderly. She stammered nervously, "M-Master... I didn't mean anything bad. It's just that we were worried about your safety..."

My hand roamed down her waist and gently squeezed her firm little bottom - naturally tight from martial arts training. With a soft squeal, Linglong collapsed into me. "Master stop! Yun Yao might see this!"

Ha ha... another reluctant shrew tamed. Releasing her I said, "You must be hungry too. Quickly prepare dinner for us both - I'm starving."

Linglong blushed as she smoothed out her clothes. "Master, you're acting so strangely today. Did something happen with Yun Yao that I don't know about? Don't worry, unlike the two princesses I won't throw jealous tantrums. Just remember to bring me along next time where you go - otherwise your safety is truly worrying. The Eastern Factory hasn't found any leads on the Dog-Killing Gang yet. These people are so elusive they must be dangerous. Even though we're not in Shuangcheng, there's no guarantee they won't follow our army."

I replied cheerfully, "Don't worry so much. We still have life-saving needles - just give me one injection if needed."

Linglong protested, "But what if they disfigure you? What will we do then?"

"Haha," I laughed, "Then I wouldn't be able to flirt with other girls anymore. Isn't that better?"

"You... you don't understand a thing about my thoughts!" she muttered before stomping off in anger. Though bold by nature, when I took the initiative she suddenly became shy like a normal girl.

After dinner, I accompanied both women chatting in the living room until they forgot their earlier annoyance completely. Linglong especially loved hearing about my great achievements on Earth - many of which Yun Yao hadn't heard yet and listened eagerly as well.

"...I used to think the six thousand years ago was extremely primitive on Earth," I continued, "but how could anyone imagine there were such secrets hidden? Look at these two moons here - perhaps they are also massive interstellar spaceships like ours..."

Linglong sat to my left while Yun Yao occupied my right. Linglong smiled fondly, "I wonder if there's an Azure Dragon Girl up there too. If not, that very special Elena must have really made you miss her, right? She was so unique even Yun Yao couldn't compare."
