As soon as he entered the bedroom, he saw the magnificent body of Bing Xin on full display as she lay naked on the bed.
-Are you done?
She asked provocatively, only a moment later realizing that the soul treasure was gone from his hand.
-At least that old man won't get in our way.
She smiled, realizing that Paul had left specifically to get rid of Sei.
-Are you going to just look at me?
She asked with a challenge in her voice, seeing that he was a bit dazed by seeing her body.
Paul also smiled and approached the bed grabbing the red rope from the nightstand.
Seeing this and the change of his expression when he approached her, Bing Xin swallowed hard, having a bad feeling about it all.
However, it was too late to back out now, and even if he managed to figure out the clues of her ancestor, she doubted very much that he could truly tame her, since even a man like Sei failed in the past.
She even wanted to tease him a bit more, but one look at his devilish smile made her swallow her words.
-Is that any way for you to address your master?
Paul asked with a wicked smile.
And before she knew it, he rolled her to her belly and tied up her hands behind her back.
-You are not my master.
Bing Xin said with a hint of anger in her voice.
-Is that so?
This naughty girl needs to be punished.
Paul grinned and started taming her.
What went on in the bedroom for the next three hours is impossible to describe.
However, after three hours, despite her earlier resistance, Bing Xin called him master in a dazed voice.
The moment she did that, a white tattoo-like pattern appeared around her neck.
It looked like a small chain with exquisite links, looking like they were formed from ice, and a miniature mark of Paul's family appeared at its center.
At the same time, a similar pattern appeared around Bing Mei's neck, surprising Paul's ladies, whom she was just talking to and herself, as she suddenly felt an immense urge to go to the bedroom, and she followed it.
As soon as she entered the bedroom, she saw her sister on her knees and pressing her forehead to the floor.
However, instead of getting angry, which would be the case in any other circumstances, she joined her sister and knelt.
-We welcome the patriarch.
They both said in unison as soon as the second sister's head touched the floor.
At this moment, Paul's ladies arrived and were beyond shocked seeing the scene in front of them.
-You may rise.
Paul said and covered Bing Xin's naked body with a sheet from the bed.
Only then did the ladies see the mark similar to what the Bing sisters had on their necks, on Paul's arm.
-Now, you two better have a good reason to omit the fact that I'd become the whole Ice Maiden clan's patriarch as soon as I tamed any one of you.
He said, and his tone suggested that he was getting pissed at this situation.
Hearing his words, his ladies were speechless once again, as they realized what had just happened and that these two were not the only ones affected.
-Master, the reason for that is to prevent anyone from forcing us to submit once they fail the trial, as our clan is very numerous and powerful, so becoming its patriarch is a temptation not many are capable of resisting.
-Wait, how many of you are there in the clan?
Natalie found her voice and asked.
-We don't know how many sisters we have now, but in the past, there were over a thousand of us.
However, no matter how many sisters we have now, we all belong to him, our master, and all of our clan's power is at his command.
Bing Xin said, not taking her eyes from Paul, who was as surprised as his ladies, if not even more.
-Then what will happen if there is someone else who manages to tame one of your sisters?
He asked.
-That's impossible.
The moment you tamed Bing Xin, you became our patriarch, and all ice maidens became yours for as long as you live.
Moreover, there won't be another trial performed by any of our sisters, as all of us received these marks, confirming we are yours and only yours.
Hearing that, Paul started to feel a headache coming his way.
In his wildest dreams, he never expected to become the patriarch of a clan full of women by taming only one of them.
Additionally, he had no idea what he was going to do if there truly were thousands of them and all of them had similar preferences to Bing Xin.
However, he decided not to worry about it for now and started asking more questions about the clan, which he apparently became the patriarch of.
The Bing sisters explained as much as they could, but warned him that their knowledge of what was going on in the clan was very limited at the moment, since the clan was located in the twelfth realm and they were reincarnated in the lower realms, not to mention that thousands of years had passed already and they were not sure if the Ice Maiden clan even existed up there anymore.
Lady Peacock was also of limited help in this case, since at the time of her death, the ice twins were still alive, and she never heard of anyone attacking the Ice Maiden clan, which was a powerful existence on par with Sei's family, so taking them down would not be an easy feet, not to mention that it would be impossible to conceal such a thing.
Sei himself was also surprised when he learned about all of this, but in the end, even if he had tamed the two sisters back then, it would change nothing, since after his death, the Ice maiden clan would have nothing to do with his family anymore.
Paul, on the other hand, was listening to the Ice twins' explanations, as they described the structure of the clan and how more sisters were recruited or joined on their own.
He also learned that as a patriarch, he had an official title of an Ice lord, and even though the twins had no idea if it was still standing, their clan had an entire city under their control in the twelfth realm, which would also fall under his control as soon as he entered it.
Paul had a hard time believing that this morning, he was still a simple cultivator trying to escape the blue lotus city by cultivating with beauties, and now he learned that he was to lead a powerful and influential clan from the top realm.
To top it all off, if the clan remained intact, then there might be thousands of women in it by now, and all of them belonged to him alone.
It also didn't help that all his ladies looked like they were getting angrier the more they heard about what was going on.
