Foreplay

Ja Sun has always been happy about a good steal and well, his wives. Again, he was amazed at how good that particular word sounded.

Still, once all the guests left peacefully and Qian Daoliu stayed in one of the many guest rooms of Ja Sun's spatial hut, Ah Yin, Bibi Dong, and Ja Sun didn't get down on business directly but instead counted their 'rewards'. Marriage should be a rewarding experience and this couldn't be more true in this scenario!

With a gleeful grin, Ja Sun concluded the count.

"Alright, so we have 7 Spirit Bones at and under the age of 10000. 3 spirit bones around 30000 years of cultivation and 4 spirit bones within the age group of 50000 and 70000 years. Alongside all that, we got two spirit cores and 12 more stalks of immortal herbs but their quality and species are worse than the ones we harvested in Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well."

Now fully aware of where Ja Sun and Ah Yin got their immortal herbs since Bibi Dong was helping Ah Yin fortify that blessed land and form the second base of operation similar to the Giant's Fortress, she didn't raise any objection and sat in on the bed alongside the remaining duo in a triangular formation.

Her smile was quite eager, too. Not only she was gaining a better understanding of King's Lair with Bi Ji's help but Bibi Dong also managed to ensnare Snow Empress in her words which were truthful for the most part. Now that she was quite intimate with their Beast God, Bibi Dong knew that it won't be as hard to achieve some tasks with these beasts. And besides bringing a snowstorm with each step of her... Snow Empress was quite reasonable and knew it was better to stop the human expedition against the Extreme North once and for all even if it meant partially falling under the giant umbrella that Ja Sun was slowly and inevitably becoming.

"So? How do we divide all this?" Ah Yin smiled.

"I was thinking I could safely keep all these for the two of you," Ja Sun smiled and found his wives rolling their eyes at him.

"You wish! I would need a few to reward capable subordinates. Heck, our own team needs some of these!" Bibi Dong scoffed, "Since we're equal in this marriage, I say we divide these equally."

Ah Yin looked thoughtful, "Let's do that first but since I don't have any interest in rewarding... I would be open for exchange for my share of spirit bones that aren't of use to me either with master or..." she trailed her words and looked at the smiling Ja Sun fully aware how much wealth he had kept just for showing it off.

"That seems appropriate," Bibi Dong nodded knowing full well that if they don't finish all these tasks right now... it would be delayed for days... since she wanted the last 'ceremony' of their marriage to last THAT long.

"Alright, so I get the four spirit bones between 50 and 70 thousand years," Ja Sun nodded casually.

"And I get your innards," Bibi Dong scoffed, a little irritated, "The more time we waste..." But she quickly halted and looked at Ah Yin and Ja Sun giving her knowing smirks, making the Arachnid blush. After all... while she'd played with the rules of general decency by not having her virginity taken traditionally... she didn't want to wait too long...

"Hmm... I suggest Ah Yin and I get 3 spirit bones each under the cultivation of 10000 years. While you will get only one of them, you can make up for it by taking 2 spirit bones of the four within the cultivation of 50000 and 70000. The remaining three bones around 30000 can be divided equally. Besides, the two cores can be left with you alongside 2 stalks of immortal herb while Ah Yin and I will take 5 stalks each..." Bibi Dong looked at Ja Sun for his confirmation. She had kept in mind that it was rather better to reward their subordinates with slightly lower quality spirit bones while the higher ones would be useless to Ja Sun in the first place... like so many other spirit bones.

Meanwhile, the cores were in a similar situation. Bibi Dong would rather see this information controlled and kept within their group and team than shared without a good control system.

Stalks of immortal herbs could raise the foundation of an organization and even if Ah Yin says she's uninterested in all this, she would need some rewards for those who inevitably keep the fortified blessed land working.

Ja Sun and Ah Yin fell thoughtful. To them, these concerns were admittedly lower but they weren't about to poke at Bibi Dong's interest in administration. Heck, they were jubilant internally that they could screw around in the wilds and have Bibi Dong watch their backs and keep what they built safe.

With the rewards divided... the trio looked at one another. Now was the time for exchange. Ah Yin had little use for the higher quality spirit bones since none came from the plant system and while it wasn't a necessary requirement... Ah Yin was intent on completing a set of plant-based spirit bone set.

She already had a Yin-Yang Petals Ribcage of the cultivation of 1000000 years and a Devil's Bark Left Foot that was a little over 10000 years. The disparity already showed how rare plant-type spirit bones are. She also had three of her cores formed already. Blue Silver Goddess Core for her physique that also strengthened her attack from her martial soul passively. Yin-Yang Pure Spirit Core that had the benefit of constantly refining and absorbing spirit energy alongside her million-year-old spirit bone increased the pace of her cultivation but at Titled Douluo realm... such enhancement still meant that she had a long way to go.

Finally, Ah Yin formed her mental core by successfully bearing Poseidon's sneaky tribulation in the form of the Ocean of Gold Core which gave her a divine intent more massive than Qian Douluo yet she needed more qualitative breakthrough in that regard. At this point, what Ah Yin lacked in Ja Sun's eyes in her cultivation aside from a complete set of spirit bones was none other than... a realm of mastery that reached the level of grandmaster. Lady of the Lake had given crucial information and a strange technique for reasons that Ja Sun felt... a little dubious.

But it was alright at the moment.

Even in their gifts, they found no plant-type spirit bones but that didn't mean Ah Yin couldn't exchange for something beneficial.

Looking a little thoughtful, Ja Sun looked at Bibi Dong first since this exchange would be a little easier.

Compared to Ah Yin, Bibi Dong was in a lower realm and only had a single core. But Bibi Dong also had an external spirit bone in the form of wings, a skull bone, and two arm bones from the 100000-year-old Death Spider Emperor. All she lacked at this point was some accumulation itself since Ah Yin may be peaking her potential but Bibi Dong still had an entire martial soul without spirit rings equipped... she could easily make better and quicker breakthroughs after becoming a Titled Douluo and look for spirit bones then. She would still need to form two more cores to optimize the results, however.

But if they think Ja Sun would be 'merciful' now then they had another thing coming. Fully knowing that these spirit bones weren't of use to them... Ja Sun gleefully smirked inwardly and began.

"Hmm... I will take the 8000-year-old Hulk Arm Bone and the 5000-year-old Cruel Jaw Bone for my 11000-year-old Flash Snake Right Arm Bone. Agreed? Let's make one exchange at a time so that we don't get confused."

Although Bibi Dong felt a ploy was at play, she looked thoughtful and nodded. The only way the spirit bones would be useful to her is if they are provided to trusted friends and subordinates and this bone that Ja Sun offered felt right for Xie Xan who only had external skullbone in the form of eyeballs and a 50000-year-old spirit bone he got in the form of a right leg bone.

With that, Ja Sun exchanged the bones once Bibi Dong agreed.

He then looked at her thoughtfully and grew to stronger items. Bibi Dong only had one weak, one mid, and one strong spirit bone left.

Of them, the mid one was actually useful to Hu Lana so Ja Sun knew he could only trade for the one low and one high spirit bone.

"Alright, I will exchange your remaining 3000-year-old Pink Baboon Left Arm Bone and 59000-year-old King Mammoth Left Leg Bone for my 52000-year-old Hulking Camel Torso Bone."

Bibi Dong blinked. When did he get so generous? Torso Bones are the rarest of the set and this bone, Bibi Dong reckoned, would work well for Yuehua or Oscar who needed a good protective measure aside from his firearms.

She nodded. With that, they exchanged once again.

Now, Bibi Dong had a spirit bone for Xie Xan, Hu Lana in the form of a 33000-year-old Dreamy Doe Skull Bone, and a torso bone for either Oscar or Yuehua.

Nodding in satisfaction, she waited for Ja Sun and Ah Yin to complete their trade.

Again... Ja Sun looked a little more generous than usual.

He traded Ah Yin's 6000-year-old Night Mastiff Right Arm Bone, 7000-year-old Wind Lizard Left Leg Bone, 7000-year-old Agile Panther Left Leg Bone, and the 30000-year-old Torrent Eagle Right Arm Bone for his 35000-year-old Tiger Badger Skull Bone which would be useful to the group once again. This was received as the reward for winning the competition before Qian Xunji disappeared and as a reward from the Spirit Hall, its use was quite clear enough and again worked well with the remaining attackers of the team.

Next, Ja Sun traded the 50000-year-old Blight Toad Left Arm Bone for Ah Yin's 56000-year-old Languid Sloth Right Arm Bone.

Alongside all these spirit bones, with the two taking the majority of immortal herbs, Ja Sun was left with a Lightning Dolphin Core, a Raving Owl Core alongside a 4000-year-old Chattering Mongoose Right Leg Bone, 31000-year-old Dusk Gorilla Left Arm Bone, 53000-year-old Caged Jelly Right Arm Bone, and 64000-year-old Might Koi Left Leg Bone.

With all this done... Bibi Dong finally frowned and looked at Ja Sun. Even now, she couldn't understand what he was trying to do.

"Are you alright?"

"Just dandy, why?" Ja Sun inquired curiously.

"You just traded precious skull and torso bones... I had to ask if you're fine or not," Bibi Dong mused.

"Heh..." Ja Sun smirked, "Why won't I be? I exchanged your useless spirit bones for mine... but they aren't useless to you guys anymore. So..."

"So... we will probably hand them to Lana and others while you get to keep your share as usual," Ah Yin snorted and Bibi Dong blinked curiously. Since she intended to do this in the first place, she didn't mind Ja Sun keeping the share of spirit bones in this manner.

"Yep!" Ja Sun grinned, "Awesome trade, you guys—"

"But I have to think that's what YOU wanted. The Big Softie you are... you wouldn't be able to just hand the better spirit bones to your friends without losing face and just wanted to use this method to make them advance a little quicker than before," Ah Yin smirked as Ja Sun's smile froze.

He silently stared at the two of them as Bibi Dong's calm smirk widened into a condescending grin while Ah Yin waggles her perfect brows curiously with a taunting smirk.

"Fuck you!" Ja Sun snorted and with the trade out of the way, Ah Yin didn't wait for another second to snatch his collar and pull him into a passionate kiss before whispering hotly against his lips and keeping her eyes closed, "Well then, what are you waiting for, Shy Boy. Fuck me~!"
