Trampas came out of his cultivation feeling great. He had broken through to the 5th layer of Core Formation and was feeling more energetic than he had ever felt in his entire life. The professional athletes he knew from Earth could only dream of having a body like his now. He was far beyond the point where he could injure himself just by going through athletic motions. His body was strengthened to the point he was no longer susceptible to things like illness or minor injuries. Even a broken bone wouldn't sideline him for more than a week.
If not for the rapid strengthening he had been going through he might very well have destroyed the room again as he went through the motions of getting used to having such incredible strength. Only his wives knew what it was like to improve their cultivations so fast. Feeling good about himself he walked with a new snap in his step out to the deck to join Fairy Bai, Zi Chyou. and Tutor Chen.
Something seemed wrong when he finally made it out to the deck, Elder Song and Elder Li had joined their circle this morning. Everyone except Tutor Chen was currently on their knees facing Tutor Chen whose back was turned to Trampas. Trampas made a face and asked, "Why are y'all treating Chen'er like a princess?"
Tutor Chen turned around at the sound of his voice and smiled at him, "Ah, well it's a long story. You see, in a manner of speaking, I am a Princess."
Trampas raised an eyebrow and pointed at the purple seal on her forehead, "By manner of speaking, you mean you are a Princess and that new marking on your forehead is the proof, right?"
She nodded and then softly spoke, "I am the daughter of a palace maid, I am a Princess, but not one in the line of succession."
Trampas scratched the back of his head and then said, "That's dope. Alright everyone get up and let's start the school lesson." He started arranging chairs on the deck and helped Zi Chyou and Bai Xiao Yin into their seats at his left and right. Bai Xiao Yin grabbed onto his arm tightly looking more than a little anxious. At the end of the lesson Trampas got the result he was looking for as a system message appeared...
[Mission Complete: Reward the loss of some of your ignorance.]
Trampas stood up and stretched out before saying, "That was a good class, Chen'er, thank you. Aw, hell. Do I need to call you 'your highness' now?"
She laughed and said, "I hope that you, Chyou, and Yin Yin will still just call me Chen'er. We are a family now."
Bai Xiao Yin held on to his arm not willing to make eye contact with Princess Chen. They walked down to the cultivation rooms in this way until Trampas brought Fairy Bai to the door of her cultivation room. She looked him in the eye and he noticed something was wrong so he just asked, "Hey Yin Yin, why the long face?"
She quickly dragged him in through the open door and closed it behind them. With her back to him and her hands shaking on the door, she asked, "Princess Chen will be your first wife now, right?"
"Naw, that ain't how I roll." Trampas chuckled. He grabbed her by the arm and turned her around to face him and pushed up close against her and looked her in the eye, "Yin Yin, you are my first wife. You will always be my first wife. The fact that you brought the other two into my bed is hot as hell, but it's not something that would take away from our relationship. You are afraid that you'll be replaced, right? I would have to be some kind of crazy stupid man to push away the woman who makes all my erotic dreams come true in favor of a woman strictly for her title."

Fairy Bai looked at him with a complex expression and asked, "But she is a Princess, a real Princess!"
Trampas laughed and said, "In America where I come from, we kicked the King of England's ass and told him to take his monarchy and shove it up to his ass! It don't matter none if you call yourself a King, a Queen, an Emperor, or a pauper at the end of the day you are only a man or a woman. That's who I am and that's who you should be too. Bai Xiao Yin is the woman I want as my first wife because she is the most amazing woman I have ever met."
Bai Xiao Yin started to cry happily. She looked at him with tear-streaked cheeks she asked, "But Princess Chen is so beautiful now."
Trampas raised an eyebrow, "What? I didn't notice. Y'all look the same to me. Not like identical or nothing, I just mean you Chinese all look alike."
Bai Xiao Yin looked confused and finally just shook her head, "I don't know what you mean, but I guess you are trying to say that you still find me beautiful?"
Trampas pulled her in for a hug and then kissed her on the forehead, "You will always be my Fairy no matter what anyone else tells you. That's all you need to care about. What's this all about anyway? I can't imagine Chen'er was the one who brought up that topic."
Bai Xiao Yin shook her head and then said softly, "I was just afraid that you were going to let it go to your head that you were the Emperor's son in law."
Trampas laughed and then replied, "Aw hell, I love all you girls but you, " He lightly touched the tip of Yin Yin's nose, "You are the most important to me. Chyou'er and Chen'er are fine-looking ladies, but they don't have what you have. I can't picture either of them pulling the others into my bed all at the same time the way you do. You are the glue that holds my family together. Now, off you go. I need to cultivate. You need to cultivate as well. Y'all don't want to let Chyou'er and Chen'er get too far ahead now."
Bai Xiao Yin nodded and slipped out of the room quietly with a smile on her face.
That night all of them managed to break through to the 8th layer of the Core Formation realm. Elder Li and Elder Song couldn't believe what they were seeing. Elder Song pulled Elder Li aside and asked him, "We were sent to the Red Runner Clan to find a genius how are we going to explain that we brought back four potential True Immortals, and oh yeah, one of them is a Princess?"
Elder Li nodded looking a little worried, "I had no idea that they would be so shocking. The Elders will be fighting to take them as direct disciples. Some of the Elders won't be happy with their relationship. As for the Princess, do you think the sect will reject her because of her standing in the Royal family?"
Elder Song rubbed his chin deep in thought, "We can't hide that mark on her forehead, unfortunately, I think we should just make sure they understand that Young Master Tea Dubuya won't sacrifice any of his wives."
Elder Li nodded and sighed, "Do you think they will reach the Spirit Lake gathering stage before we arrive?"
"I have no idea, but that would probably be the least shocking thing we discover before we finally make landfall." Elder Song rubbed his forehead.
Miles away at one of the outer palaces in the capital city a handsome man walked quickly through a long hallway before bursting into a well-decorated parlor, "Your Highness! I have news on where the Blood Sword sect's skyship went."
An unparalleled beauty was laying on a bed of pillows as a young man fed her small pieces of fruit. She gave the young man a dismissive wave and then looked at the handsome man who had burst into the room, "Report."
The young man holding the tray of fruit quietly left the room. As soon as he was gone the handsome man spoke, "The Blood Sword sect sent two outer court elders to the Red Runner Clan to pick up a once in a century genius. It is thought he might be Di Ti's only disciple."
The Princess suddenly sat up straight, "Where did you get this information?"
"Elder Yan from the Blood Sword sect was overheard speaking about the boy at the Happy Garden. One of our people there was serving the food." The handsome man explained.
"Di Ti... If he took a disciple then that disciple must be a potential True Immortal. I must have this young man as one of my people. I want to be at the dock when the skyship returns. Keep a close eye on the movements of my brothers and sisters. We can't afford any of my Royal family finding out about this young man before I meet with him."
