"What surprise?" Luo Yu looked at Ah Yin curiously.
Ah Yin shook her head repeatedly.
"Brother Yu, since you said you're tired, we've decided to let you rest, so we won't bother you anymore."
Bother?
Luo Yu caught the keyword and his eyes immediately lit up.
He said urgently, "I suddenly feel I'm not tired anymore!"
"No, you're tired," Xiaowu said, pursing her rosy lips and giggling.
Luo Yu thumped his chest twice.
"I'm wide awake, so if there's a surprise, spill it quickly."
Bi Bidong spat out teasingly, "Sisters, didn't I tell you? The moment hubby sees a woman, he gets excited."
"What are you talking about?" Luo Yu glared, "Don't believe in rumors, don't spread rumors!"
Bi Bidong smiled, "Hubby~ Did I say something wrong?"
"You did," Luo Yu said with conviction.
"Tsk," Bi Bidong pouted, "Shall I send a sister up to check your pulse, to see how much faster it is now compared to the usual?"
"Stop changing the subject, tell me what the surprise is."
"Tsk tsk, hubby is so anxious, you guys shouldn't keep him hanging," Ah Yin said.
"Explain to me, what does 'so anxious' mean??"
Luo Yu felt a headache coming on.
This group of women, each became totally submissive when alone with him.
He could make them blush and get flustered in just a couple of sentences.
So how come when they get together, they all learn to tease him?
"Alright."
Bi Bidong got off the bed, slipped on a pair of long golden high heels, hugging her straight and slender jade legs.
A flash of light in her hand, and a stack of paper appeared.
She explained, "Hubby, it's actually like this."
"The sisters were worried that you might favor one over the others, so for the sake of fairness, we set a rule together."
"And that is, every time we have to decide who accompanies you by drawing lots."
Luo Yu asked, "Wasn't it always like this before?"
Bi Bidong rolled her eyes.
"Well, now there are a few more sisters."
As she spoke, Bi Bidong's gaze swept over Huo Wu, Sisters Shui Yue'er, and Xue Wu.
"Cough cough."
"How many can I draw at one time?" Luo Yu asked.
"Draw how many?"
Bi Bidong's lips parted slightly.
"You're too greedy. Isn't drawing one enough?"
"Only one..." Luo Yu's voice trailed off, full of regret.
A Wu laughed, her lips glistening as she smiled.
"Draw one each day. If you can keep it up for 365 days, we'll all be impressed."
"That's not hard," Luo Yu scoffed, "You're questioning my abilities."
"Just try and see," A Wu said provocatively, licking her red lips.
"Hiss—"
Luo Yu's eyes widened, resolved to teach this woman a lesson.
"Come on, hubby, draw one from here," Bi Bidong said, holding a stack of paper strips out to Luo Yu.
Luo Yu asked, "If I don't draw today, can it carry over to tomorrow, so I can draw two?"
"Wishful thinking. You can only draw once a day; if you don't draw today, it's void tomorrow," Lan Ling'er reminded from the side.
Luo Yu shook his head and sighed.
"Alright, can't say the sisters didn't give you, the bad guy, a chance."
Bi Bidong lifted her hand, "Actually, there's a special strip of paper in here."
"A special strip of paper?" Luo Yu's eyes brightened, "Could it be..."
"It seems you've already guessed."
Bi Bidong smiled knowingly, "One of these slips of paper has all our sisters' names on it; it's up to you to draw it."
"If you manage to draw it, you know what that means, right, husband~"
At this moment, Luo Yu, rather than showing any sign of excitement or joy, was instead crestfallen, with a face full of disappointment.
"What kind of opportunity is this?"
"There are over a dozen slips of paper in here. The odds of drawing that one are too, too small—I could probably draw for a whole year and not get it."
"But if you do draw it, won't you be feasting until your mouth is oily?" A Wu's pink beautiful eyes twinkled.
Luo Yu shook his head repeatedly.
"That's no good."
"What if I've been drawing for over a year and finally get it, only for you all to get shy and back out at the last minute? Wouldn't that just kill me?!"
"We wouldn't do that, Rongrong is not someone who goes back on her word." Ning Rongrong pouted her red lips.
"I won't go back on my word either," Zhu Zhuqing said softly.
"I won't either," added Zhu Zhuyun.
Bi Bidong smiled and said, "Husband, rest assured, this is a decision we all made together. If you're lucky enough to draw that slip, we will keep our promise."
"Really?" Luo Yu looked doubtful.
"Don't you trust Dong'er's word? The Female Pope, when has she ever gone back on her word?" Bi Bidong winked.
"Sigh..."
Luo Yu sighed again.
"The chance of drawing it is just too low, too low. Even if you promise me, it really doesn't mean much."
"It's a low chance, but there's always the possibility of drawing it, isn't there? Just one win and you hit the jackpot, right?" Bi Bidong said.
"Actually, even if you don't draw it once, you're still not at a loss. No matter what, one of the sisters will be with you."
Luo Yu shrugged helplessly.
"With this strength of mine."
"Which one of you is my match!"
"Shush, shush, shush!"
All the women focused their gaze on Luo Yu.
"Uh..."
Luo Yu felt the intense and murderous stares somewhat overwhelming.
Too many women, that doesn't seem like such a good thing after all.
Joining forces like this, the empire of the household plummets straight down.
"Alright, husband, go ahead and draw, and after you're done, everyone else can go back to sleep," Bi Bidong urged.
Luo Yu reached out his hand, hesitated for a moment, and then withdrew it.
"Can't I draw more than one?"
"How about we make it two draws per day?"
"No way, you can only draw one a day. The sisters have already agreed," Bi Bidong continued, "Isn't the benefit of that one slip with everyone's names good enough? Don't worry, as long as you can draw it, we definitely won't go back on our word."
"This..."
Luo Yu clenched his teeth, his expression changing and clearly hesitating.
Eventually, he clenched his fists.
"Alright, it's settled here."
"Okay, then hurry up and draw," Bi Bidong handed over the slips of paper.
The A'yin Sisters, Zhu Zhuqing, Shui Yue'er, Huo Wu, and the other women all focused their attention here, looking a bit nervous.
In reality, they all wanted to be the one drawn by Luo Yu.
The reason they decided to only draw one person each night was to get Luo Yu's undivided affection.
Looking at the slip of paper Bi Bidong handed him, Luo Yu's face appeared bitter, but inside, he was already laughing with glee.
If it was based on his typically terrible luck, the chance of drawing the special slip was nearly impossible.
But his Creation God Pupil had the ability to see through objects.
Wasn't it just a matter of choosing whatever slip he wanted to draw?
As for his earlier hesitations and nervousness, as well as the haggling with Bi Bidong, it was all to pave the way for drawing that special slip later.
Otherwise, if he started off excited and then effortlessly drew the special slip, it would be odd if the women didn't suspect something fishy.
Luo Yu lowered his head, staring at the stack of slips.
Hidden deep within his pupils, a faint amethyst gold light flashed.
Then he reached out and grabbed one.
