Back at the private dimension, Yunan, Dustan and Balin were making the final touches on the feast preparations, lately they seemed to be having too many reasons to party, a successful launch,a successful business, welcoming death, sending off mom, officially ending the grief period, it seems like they were going to have some burnout from partying too much. Martin and Markus did not come to the party, Leol, however, arrived to give Yunan his condolences and pay respect at mother"s grave.It has been a long time since Leol had been with his old friends, currently he was a pot bellied man, with muscles looking more feminine and having lost most of the muscle ma.s.s in favour of some decent curves, each of them had a kid beside them, a boy and a girl, the two must have been very active, the kingdom Yunan bought for his friend as a gift was now much better and extremely well managed, it took a few iron fists but it was changed into a safe and prosperous place, that stability reflected on both Leol and Muscles as they changed into softer shapes and were no longer the threatening adventurers they were before.
Yunan and Leol talked for hours about this and that, mostly about their lives as kings, each sharing their experiences and difficulties with each other. Yunan was a hands off king with minimal supervision and had his wives as his diplomats, the difficulty he faced was his inability to have accurate knowledge about the kingdom and thus improve it, as for Leol, he managed stabilization by political marriages and accepting concubines, he was suffering headache from all the drama in his harem as each woman tried to carve a piece of the kingdom for her family, he was thankful for having Muscles by side, especially since she was the only one to carry his children, if his other wives had children he would be closing on insanity.
Leol was sad that he missed seeing mom and saying goodbye, he even told Yunan off for not just bringing him to the private dimension when the date was fixed, still like brothers, even after being separated for a long time, Yunan was glad that his friend did not change with time and the pot belly was all there was to it, the two then went off to see the girls, who gave Leol a piece of their fists for making Muscle suffer with all those wives and concubines, finally letting him go after he promised to separate her from the harem and give her authority over those other women.
Then they all moved together to the spiritual cave, along the way to the mountain in the backyard, Leol got a glimpse of what he missed out on, especially the trade post and the battle fortress and the mechs under testing, Leol"s kids were enamoured with the place, especially with Sapphira who let them ride her after she enlarged to the size of a horse. After reaching the spiritual cave Yunan introduced the place as the biggest cash cow that Yunan ever got his hands on, he was getting paid to let people sit inside the cave, when he got it for free. Once again as The two males surrounded by half a dozen girls entered the cave, they made a big commotion on those cultivating inside the cave, after all, it was rare to see any activity in the cave other than cultivation but there were two big events in the span of 3 days.
The rest of the partic.i.p.ants arrived soon after, the little kids were starstruck when they saw both Hephaestus and Fortuna, they have heard the stories from Leol but thought he was trying to brag, Hephaestus and Lady luck were very illusive and ill.u.s.trious, even the number of people who reliably met them was low, how could their dad have met both repeatedly. The kids were studying in the adventure academy and had been taught well by Muscles and Leol about the things they lacked, using the original time table and the published Debauchery manual, Leol and Muscles were able to get their kids to be good for their age, and getting a pa.s.sing grade from Debauchery party.
Upon introduction of Death, the kids were like "yeah, right" while Leol and Muscles froze, they were very careful about touching the man or talking rudely to him, that was until he started taking punches, afterwards the atmosphere relaxed a lot, Death was very amicable when pumped with the forbidden Lava wine, he drank like he had an unquenchable thirst, and got drunk faster than the rest, Leol and Muscles decided not to drink the forbidden one because if even Death got intoxicated, that stuff was deadly.
The boisterous party noises made all the cultivators restless, the curious ones almost got crushed by the spiritual energy and were rescued by the genie, others tried to get information but failed, the smartest ones demanded reimburs.e.m.e.nt for the disturbance, and the genie gave each one of those time out from the cave so they couldn"t cheat an extra half a day, as for the party, it went on till dawn, every adult drank till they pa.s.sed out and the minors played until they pa.s.sed out from tiredness, it fell to the genie to get them sorted out, Mary and Fae were sent to their room, Lucian and bai shared a temporary one, Balin shared another room with Dustan and Anne, Leol and Muscles and their two children were given a luxury guest room, Death and Hephaestus shared a room as well, Luna joined Yunan and her fellow wives in the main bedroom.
The reason for the boys getting temporary rooms was that they had set their room to block incoming teleportation, thus the genie couldn"t send them to their rooms, as for Anne she was sticking like glue to Dustan so the genie let them be and did not disentangle them. Back in his room Yunan swore to never touch alcohol again in this lifetime, not after the hangover he was already feeling take over him.
