Chapter 148: It’s A Divine Blessing

Silence filled the bedroom for a long while, with the three of them staring quietly at one another under the soft glow of the lamps. After what seemed like another century of lingering tension, Juliana finally opened her mouth to break the quiet.

​"Are we actually doing this tonight?" She asked, turning her eyes to Asher.

​"Oh, right!" Asher nodded his head, snapping out of his thoughts.

"Sara, I think you should take off your clothes."

​".....?!"

​Both Asher and Sara snapped their heads toward Juliana, their eyes wide with complete astonishment.

​"Why are you two staring at me like that? Toxin isn’t a gas, it should be liquid in state, right?" She turned to Asher, seeking logical confirmation.

​’How on earth would I know what physical state the toxic is in right now??’ Asher thought, staring at her like a complete fool.

​"Maybe if I physically sense it with my energy, I’ll be able to tell which state it’s in," he said in a low voice, trying to maintain his composure.

​What the hell? Sara getting completely naked right in front of him? Could his heart even handle that kind of visual assault right now?

​"What nonsense are you saying? If it were a volatile gas, Sara wouldn’t be standing here breathing normally with us right now... But a concentrated liquid toxin can still be suppressed deep within the flesh, and thanks to Sara’s innate Diamond Body Physique, her cellular structure could still resist its worst effects. Once the physique’s defensive powers completely run out due to her shattered core, she might..."

​"Stop endlessly coming up with so many depressing situations!!" Asher snapped at her, waving his hand frantically. "What is your actual point here?!"

​"I am simply saying, if you’re going to manually extract the poison through her skin, her clothes might physically get in the way of your palm..." She said plainly.

​Asher blinked. As absurd as it sounded coming from her, Juliana was actually entirely right.

​But still...

​He turned his gaze back to Sara, who had already gracefully stood up from the bed and started unfastening the soft coat of her silk nightdress:

​"Wait!!" He blurted out, frantically reaching out a hand to stop her movement.

​"What now?"

​Juliana turned her head to him in confusion, while Sara paused her hands, staring at him with an equally bewildered expression.

​"Aren’t you... Well... shy about this?" He muttered in a low voice, a intense heat rapidly spreading across his cheeks as embarrassment washed over him.

​"....?!"

​The two wives turned to look at one another, then slowly turned their gazes back to Asher. A second later, Juliana burst out laughing hysterically, while Sara simply chuckled lightly, her soft laughter echoing quietly in her throat.

​"Husband! Don’t tell me you’re actually scared to see Sara naked! Hahaha!"

​"Um... It’s not... It’s really not that," Asher stammered, his cool composure completely crumbling.

​"Alright... I think I know exactly what will make you calm down." Juliana said with a reassuring nod. She reached her hand behind her slender neck, undoing the top button of her own dress, and let the fabric slip loose. The dress slid down her arms, instantly exposing her upper body.

​Asher blinked rapidly, his eyes widening in shock; luckily, Juliana was still wearing a delicate white bra underneath, otherwise he might have suffered an instant, embarrassing nosebleed right on the spot.

​"What are you doing?! How in the world would that make me calm down!" He yelled the moment he pulled his scattered thoughts back together.

​"Huh? It doesn’t?" Juliana blinked her big eyes innocently.

​"Of course it doesn’t!"

​"Really? Am I really not that tempting to you?" Juliana asked in a low, crestfallen tone, slowly lowering her gaze to the floorboards.

​’Tempting? You’re an absolute beauty, and while you might not have the massive front package of Kelly or Sara just yet, you have your own incredibly irresistible charm... How am I even supposed to explain this to her without sounding like a degenerate?’ He thought to himself, taking a soft sigh as he forced his intense gaze to look straight at her face:

​"What are you even saying!! You’re insanely beautiful, but you can’t just casually undress right in front of me out of nowhere... You’re making things extremely difficult for me."

​"Difficult? How so?" Juliana tapped a delicate finger against her jaw, staring at him in utter confusion.

​’Is she doing this deliberately to tease me, or is she just completely oblivious to her own appeal? What is wrong with my wives at times?’ Asher thought, staring at her with a stunned, bewildered gaze.

​Hearing the soft rustle of heavy silk fabric brushing against the bed sheets, both of them turned their attention back toward Sara. Seeing that she had already discarded her nightdress completely, Asher’s eyes locked onto her breathtaking, flawless body—taking in every single sculpted detail of her pale skin and curves—as a stray drop of blood instantly leaked out through his right nostril.

​"WOW..." He muttered under his breath in an automatic trance, his eyes still wide open.

​"Hey! You’re bleeding from your nose!" Juliana yelled at him in shock.

​"No... it’s a divine blessing."

​".....?!"

"Huh?"

​Both Sara and Juliana blinked in unison, tilting their heads to the side, utterly stunned into silence by his absurd response.

​[Five Minutes Later.]

​’Phew... Lucky I managed to hold myself back before things got totally out of hand.’ Asher thought, dabbing his nose with a clean silk handkerchief as he stared down at Sara.

​She was now lying flat on the spacious mattress, her stomach pressed down against the soft sheets and her bare, flawless back fully exposed to him.

​Juliana sat on the left edge of the bed, now fully dressed in a fresh tunic, her intense gaze fixed entirely on him. She lowered her eyes to inspect Sara’s full, breathtaking form, then slowly looked down at her own chest:

​’Am I really just too young? Or is it purely because of my slender figure?’ Juliana thought silently, her fingers nervously clenching the soft bedsheets:

​’No... I definitely need to try it out properly next time. I will get completely naked in private and see Husband’s true reaction. It can’t just be Sara who gets that kind of look from him, right? But... what if he—’

​"Julia."

​Asher’s calm voice suddenly snapped her right out of her chaotic internal monologue. She blinked rapidly, snapping her head up to look at him:

​"Um... Yes?"

​"What are you thinking so deeply about over there?"

​"Huh? Um... Nothing! Nothing at all!" Juliana said hastily, her face flushing slightly as she quickly redirected her gaze down toward Sara’s resting frame:

"It’s getting really late, and we have a lot of important things to take care of tomorrow." She deftly changed the topic.

​"Right."

​Asher nodded, setting his worldly distractions aside. He gently hovered his open palm directly above Sara’s bare back, positioning it right over the center of her spine. He closed his eyes, taking a deep breath as he began to gently channel a fine thread of his pure Aether energy straight into her body.

​’Here we go.’
