Chapter 126: Harem

Amon looked at Seraphina with a calm expression, although the question had caught him slightly off guard. "Why are you asking me that?"

Seraphina watched him for a few seconds before answering. "Mother told me that you asked Nadya to become your wife."

Amon remained silent.

He simply looked at her without changing his expression.

Neither of them said anything while the clothes on the bed sat forgotten between them.

Seraphina’s smile widened when she noticed how tense he had become. "Why are you so tense?"

She walked over and sat down on his lap, causing Amon to instinctively place an arm around her to keep her balanced.

Seraphina rested one arm around his shoulder and looked at him with an amused expression. "I knew you were a lecher from the first day we met, especially after you blackmailed me."

Amon immediately frowned. "Technically, you were the one carrying a vibrator up your puss--."

Before he could finish, Seraphina leaned forward and silenced him with a kiss.

Amon’s words disappeared instantly, and after a moment, Seraphina pulled away with a satisfied expression before resting her forehead against his. "You really don’t know when to stop talking, do you?"

Amon gave her a helpless look.

Seraphina chuckled softly before becoming serious again, her fingers gently brushing through his hair.

"Whatever you decide to do in the future, you need to tell me."

Amon nodded slightly. "I can do that."

"You know I don’t want to monopolize you for myself, and I’m not going to demand that you belong only to me." Her voice remained calm as she continued, "But that doesn’t mean I won’t have a say in who you decide to take as your wife."

Amon let out a quiet sigh.

"That’s fair." He thought for a moment before adding, "I’ll make sure there isn’t any infighting between everyone."

Seraphina smiled. "You can never guarantee that."

Amon looked at her, his eyes silently urging her to explain.

Seraphina understood immediately and continued while playing with a strand of his hair.

"If you actually love them, you won’t control every decision they make or force them to get along." She paused briefly before continuing. "And if you don’t control them, then sooner or later, they’re bound to collide."

Amon remained quiet as he thought about her words. ’....She had a point.’

People could get along perfectly well until something important came between them, and wives sharing the same husband would inevitably have things they disagreed about.

After a moment, Amon looked at her. "So what am I supposed to do?"

Seraphina’s expression suddenly became playful again. "I can help you find good bitches if you want."

Amon raised an eyebrow. "What exactly qualifies as a good bitch according to you?"

Seraphina fell silent.

She seemed to genuinely consider the question, her fingers still moving slowly through his hair while she stared at the ceiling.

After several seconds, she finally answered. "My mother is a good girl."

Amon’s eyes immediately lit up. "Yeah, that’s true."

Seraphina’s smile disappeared. She grabbed both of his cheeks and stretched them outward. "Would you look at the lust in your eyes?"

Amon chuckled despite the uncomfortable position of his face. "It’s not like that."

Seraphina narrowed her eyes. "I know you have your eyes on my mother."

She released his cheeks and stood up from his lap, straightening her clothes before looking down at him.

"Mother has hinted at it twice already."

Amon remained silent. He didn’t bother denying it this time because there wasn’t much point pretending when Felicia had apparently already noticed.

After a moment, he looked at Seraphina. "Would you mind?"

He didn’t explain what he meant, but Seraphina understood immediately.

She stared at him for a few seconds before smiling.

"You can always try." Seraphina shrugged casually. "I won’t stop you."

Amon blinked his eyes as he released a long sigh.

A surprisingly large part of the problem he had been worrying about was suddenly resolved, although he wasn’t foolish enough to assume everything would be easy from now on.

But Seraphina wasn’t finished. "However, I have one condition."

Amon looked at her.

"What is it?"

Seraphina’s expression became serious again as she stepped closer and gently touched his face. "If you’re really planning to create a harem, then you need to be at the top of the food chain."

Amon stared at her.

Seraphina continued with a gentle smile. "If you want to have all of them, then you need to have enough strength to protect all of them."

Her fingers rested against his cheek for another moment before she added, "I can’t speak for everyone else, but I’ll be with you through hell and heaven."

Amon smiled and looked up at her. "Then I’ll create a heaven for you."

Seraphina’s eyes softened.

She leaned forward, and Amon met her halfway, their lips touching in a gentle kiss.

For a brief moment, the room became quiet again.

Knock. Knock.

They separated and looked toward the door.

Felicia’s voice came from the other side. "Seraphina, I need you."

Seraphina’s expression immediately fell. "Mom is such a cockblocker."

Amon couldn’t hold back his laughter.

Seraphina grumbled something under her breath as she opened the door, while Amon followed behind her with an amused expression.

The two of them walked out of the room together, leaving the half-packed suitcase behind.

[A Few Hours Later]

Amon opened the door to his apartment and stepped inside. The first thing he noticed was the silence.

Usually, he could hear Ambrosia moving around somewhere in the apartment, or Sidney complaining about something while sitting in front of the television.

This time, there was nothing.

Amon looked toward the kitchen and living room, but both of them were empty.

"Where did they go?" He frowned slightly before shrugging.

They probably had somewhere to go, and he didn’t see any reason to worry about it.

Amon walked toward his room and closed the door behind him before sitting down on the edge of his bed.

He leaned backward slightly and released a slow breath. There was too much happening around him lately.

Amon rubbed his forehead. "I really need to get stronger."

He had been thinking about it for a while, but after hearing Nadya’s description of the future, the thought had become much more serious.

He couldn’t afford to remain at his current level forever. Amon reached into his spatial bracelet and pulled out a small bottle.

Inside the transparent glass was a strange silver-white liquid that seemed to move on its own, almost like liquid light.

It was the Mythical Body Purification Potion.

It was a supreme purification medicine capable of cleansing the body of impurities, toxins, foreign substances, and accumulated corruption while strengthening the body’s natural resistance.

Amon stared at the bottle for a few seconds. This was the reward he had received from Seraphina’s gift.

He had originally planned to save it for later, but after everything that had happened recently, he wasn’t interested in waiting anymore.

’If I want to survive whatever is coming, I need to improve as quickly as possible.’

Amon unscrewed the bottle. There was no strange smell coming from it, only a faint scent resembling cold rain after a storm.

He raised the bottle to his mouth. "Here goes nothing."

He drank the entire potion in one go.

A scorching sensation suddenly erupted from his stomach and spread throughout his entire body, making every muscle tense at once.

"What the--"

Amon clenched his teeth as the burning sensation intensified.

It wasn’t merely heat.

It felt as though something was passing through every part of his body, reaching places he didn’t even know existed and tearing impurities out from deep within him.

His veins seemed to pulse beneath his skin while his muscles tightened involuntarily.

Amon grabbed the edge of the bed as sweat immediately appeared across his forehead.

"Fuck..."

The burning became even stronger. His vision blurred for a moment as the potion continued spreading through his body.

And the System appeared in front of him.

[Mythical Body Purification Potion has been consumed.]

[Beginning complete bodily purification.]

[Removing accumulated impurities.]

[Removing foreign substances.]

[Purifying blood, organs, muscles, bones, and internal energy pathways.]

[Strengthening natural resistance.]

Amon’s breathing became heavier.

He could feel something changing inside him.

It was as though his body was being stripped down to its most fundamental state.

The purification had only just begun.
