"…what you're saying?"
"Yes, I do." Lith repeated.
"No, you don't." The shadow said swiftly.
He snapped his fingers and the scene changed into that of the Royal Castle.
There, Lith saw Luna, Bella, and Qingyue working.
"They're not your wives, yet you've slept with them. How do you explain this hypocrite behaviour of yours?" The shadow asked.
Lith knitted his brows. "Are you spying on me?"
"I am not and I don't have any interest to do so either." The shadow explained. "Neither I nor this system spies on you. Being my inheritor, I've given you at least this little amount of protection where no higher being can spy on you, so stop worrying about it and answer my other question."
Lith stared at the shadow, slightly paranoid about this whole thing and didn't believe him.
"Before that, tell me, why are you doing all of this? Giving me protection, advices, and whatnot. What's your end goal? What do you want from me?"
The shadow flicked Lith's forehead hearing that.
"You country bumpkin, stop being so paranoid." The shadow's tone turned slightly soft now.
"Not everyone has an ulterior motive. The level I am at, you cannot even fathom it yet. And at such a high level, do you think I'd be interested in a puny immortal's sex life? There's no pleasure in it and neither is there any entertainment."
"It was all destiny that brought us together, nothing more, nothing less."
The things the shadow said made sense and Lith's paranoia lessened. Though, he still harboured some doubts as Lith refused to believe that someone would be so kind to him just for the sake of it.
"Okay." Lith said simply. "Keeping this aside, why do you think my behavior is hypocritical?"
"Is it not? You tell me." The shadow said. "You have wives whom you married yet you're fooling around with the maids and other people. You say you don't want to cheat on them, but isn't this cheating itself?"
"No." Lith answered. "My maids are a part of my harem and the ones with whom I've mingled, they're going to be my future wives."
"Silly bumpkin, you've cheated on them already by having romantic interests in others. Even though you say you're going to marry them, you haven't married them yet. As per your maids, it's fine with them since you have no romantic interests."
"Remember, it's cheating if you have romantic interests in others."
Lith stared at the guy with a visible dumbfounded gaze.
Was he high or was this guy high?
What was this conversation?
It seemed so hypocritical and so stupid.
Feeling Lith's gaze, the shadow cackled. "Find it odd, don't you?"
"I find it stupid." Lith said honestly.
"Because it is." The shadow replied. "Having a harem is cheating in itself since you're not committed to just one partner. It's hypocritical of everyone to think that they're not cheating when in a polygamist relationship. If one truly doesn't want to cheat, it's best to stick together with one partner."
"What I am trying to say in this is that, it doesn't matter who you sleep with. What matters is… are the members of your harem happy?"
The shadow fell silent after stating that question.
Lith thought about it and realized…
His wives were really understanding. They wouldn't mind if he slept with others as they knew he loved them to a very high degree.
However…
Did that mean he would go sleep with just any woman because his wives didn't mind?
The answer was no.
He wanted to keep his body reserved to just his ladies. The ones he loved and the ones he cherished.
His maids were a gray area since he didn't have romantic interests in them, but he did cherish them for being so loyal and sticking with him and his family for so long.
Whatever the case, Lith wasn't going to sleep with random women just like that.
Looking at the shadow, he said, "whatever you say, I am still not sleeping with random women."
"You have to. You have to sleep with women to cultivate. At least one lady in each realm above yours. There's no skipping that." The shadow replied.
Lith sighed. "I'll see to that later. At present, I don't need to worry about it."
The shadow cackled again. "Whatever you say. But remember, my inheritance works really well in charming ladies and the method I told you, it's the easiest one."
Lith nodded. "I'll see to it."
The shadow then got in a serious mood again and staring at Lith, said, "remember Lith, the universe is far bigger than you think it is. Use whatever means are available to you and get to at least a rank where you can hide and live a peaceful life."
"And what is such a rank?" Lith asked, curious.
"The one nobody knows." The shadow replied, leaving Lith confused.
The shadow then continued, "there's another way in which you could solve your problem."
"That is?" Lith's attention diverted into this.
"This method is almost impossible, you'd have a much better shot at forming alliances and going against the said clan."
Lith knitted his brows. "At least tell me what you're talking about."
The shadow let out a visible sigh. "My real self would be so stupefied when he comes to know about your double standards. Whatever… at least I don't have to deal with any of this since I am just a pre-recorded message."
Lith stayed silent and waited for him to continue.
Going beside Lith, the shadow then snapped his fingers and the scene changed to that of space.
Lith was looking at a big blue-green sphere.
"That giant blue-green Star is yours, bumpkin."
The shadow then snapped his fingers and the scene changed into many similar stars being present together.
"That's a Star System. It may look like one has put shiny spheres on a carpet, but in reality, it's far more vast than you could even think of."
The shadow snapped his fingers after saying so and the scene changed to that being the blue-green star.
"That's your Star and I am sure it has a Star Master. The ones who are up against you are also Star Masters, so what you need to do is, find the person above a Star Master."
Lith looked at the shadow and asked, "…who is?"
The shadow made the scene change again and it was that of an old man sitting cross-legged in the vast expanse of space.
There was a small rectangular hologram type thing in front of him, in which there appeared many shiny dots.
"That person. Not the exact same one, but the one overseeing all the Stars in this Star System."
"Does he have a name like Star Master?" Lith asked.
"Yes. It's…"
"…The Stellar Warden."

Do let me know your thoughts on Lith finding potential milfs in future.
Unsatisfied Milfs who become a slave to Lith's ding dong. Although they stay with their husbands, they sleep just with Lith.
Is it fair on Lith's wives such as Emilia for Lith to go around filling holes of random strangers or is it justified?
Should Lith do the green hatting or should Lith become Neo temporarily and do it from that body instead of his?
I'll be going through all the opinions and let you guys know what the majority thinks and what is the future of the novel regarding milfs in the later chapters :)
