236 Mens Tribulation in Life (2/2)

The two had heard him but they did not dare as their faces began to flush red with embarrassment.

Leon retracted his arms after it was awkwardly left hanging. He scratched the back of his head with a wryly smile, wondering if secluded cultivation had turned them both meek.

It was not the first time they showed affections for another and they been through much further.

He also did not forget that they were all 17 years of age. Despite having his mental age breaking the hundred years after the inheritance induction, he did not feel any mental burden that he was too old for them.

In the cultivation world, age was just a number once they all reach adulthood. If both parties were willing, why would it matter?

However, he did silently rejoice that the inheritance induction only contained the raw knowledge Arden had comprehended throughout his life and not the full package of his private life as well.

Otherwise, it would not have been as simple as several decades, but several hundreds of years spent in the dreamscape time chamber.

By then, forget the fact that his mental age would have reached the level of being their founding ancestor, his body would have died. It was quite the close shave with death.

In any case, it did not change the fact that he was mentally over a hundred years old, enough to be their great grandpas. Perhaps it was true what they say that a thick skin grows with age.

Seeing that the two ladies remained motionless, he took the initiative to step forward and wrapped his arms around both them, and pulled them into his embrace.

Lynne, who had always been the more energetic and bolder one of the two, found her courage after Leon's arm wrapped around her.

She wrapped her own arms around him and hugged him even tighter.

On the other hand, Aria was more quiet and timid. It was like the confidence she had worked up to no longer hide her beauty under her hair was drained away.

Her face turned bright as a tomato and softly muttered, ”Don't… there are people watching…”

Her voice grew softer by the moment until she finally burrowed her head in his chest as his hand audaciously and teasingly roamed her back.

At the same time, Leon flashed the palace guards a warning gaze that silently implied, ”Had you looked enough?”

The palace guards choked on their own spit and averted their eyes awkwardly. It would be a lie if they said they were not interested in Leon's messy love life.

Each of them either had a single wife or a single girlfriend, but never two. They had enough troubles that come with one partner. They cannot imagine what kind of shit storm that comes with two or more partners.

Puppy love was the most intense and shallow in romantic attachment. In this stage, women were the most forgiving and loving. They can even be considered angels.

They do not have many expectations and do not mind the little fuckups you do, and would be able to smile through it all.

The following stage was what the palace guards were all looking forward to seeing. That is when they turn into the devil and start fighting over the littlest of things you do that irks them.

Every one of the palace guards that has been in a relationship had been through this and still is.

They would take their helmets off to Leon if he can make it past this stage because when the storm comes calling, there is no use fighting back. They can only endure it and admit their wrongs.

For every excuse men come up with, women would bring up ten more faults to add from their list of bottomless depths.

Men can never win an argument against women. Even if they were right, they would still wrong. It is frustrating enough to bring a man to tears.

If the tribulation of life had three types of heaven, earth, and human, then heaven would be the tribulation that comes from cultivation, while earth would be the tribulation that comes from the dangers the world throws at you.

As for humans, the palace guards would all undoubtedly agree that women were the human tribulation of life for men. Those palace maids were all too feisty.

They can be dragons among men and sons of heaven outside all they want, but when they are home with their partners, even if they were proud lions, they can only be meek cats.

Leon had no idea what sorts of ridiculous thoughts the palace guards were having, but if he knew, he would have simply laughed it off. He was no expert in women, but problems usually arise from forgetting small details.

With the small boost in memory retention that comes from divine cultivation, if they still experience these problems between couples, then he could only say that they were either incompetent or their partners simply weighed that little of importance in their hearts.

He brought the two ladies to the foot of a shady tree seated each of them on his laps. After giving them both a peck on the cheeks that caused them to blush with a rosy color, they began to catch up.

”How was your secluded cultivation? What happened to the Capital in these past two weeks?” Leon asked.

It was only then that the two ladies noticed something wrong with Leon and paled with concern.

”Your cultivation…”
