Chapter 27: New Quest
Shen Yuxin who was looking at the interaction between Huo Rong, Bing Rong, and Shen Yuan in amusement spoke finally, "Yuan'er, it seems like you are getting along quite well with your 'Big Sisters' now," She teased slightly, "Will you forgot your dear old mother at this rate?"
Shen Yuan smiled wryly as he replied, "Don't tease me, Mom, how can I forget you."
Shen Yuxin smiled lightly at his reply and looked outside the window; seeing that it was almost night, she said, "It's getting late now; let's go and eat dinner before heading to bed; tomorrow will be a busy day as well with Shen Yuan's training."
Shen Yuan, Huo Rong, and Bing Rong nodded their heads and stood up, making their way towards the dining hall. The mansion maids had already prepared the food for them.
All of them sat down at the table and began eating while talking and laughing. Shen Yuan could feel that the bond between him and his family has grown much further and they have grown closer.
While finishing eating, Huo Rong said, "Let's go for a walk in the garden after we finish eating the food."
Shen Yuxin nodded and said, "Yes, that sounds like a good idea, let's do that after we finish eating."
Shen Yuan also smiled softly as he said, "Yes, I would love to take a walk with all of you."
After they finished eating they left the dining hall to go towards the garden for a walk. There was a gentle breeze blowing in the garden, feeling as if a cold breeze in a warm winter.
There were trees all over the place with well-trimmed bushes and flowers everywhere. They all walked together in the garden while talking about their current life.
Huo Rong's eyes lit up with a playful light as she nudged Shen Yuan and spoke, "Why don't you sleep with us tonight Yuan'er? Both me and Bing Rong would love that."
Bing Rong nodded her head with an expectant light as she said, "Yes, Yuan'er, I would also love that, you never slept with us before, so why not try something new??"
Before Shen Yuan could reply, the system voice rang in his ears,
[Ding!]

Shen Yuan looked through the new quest quickly, asking the system in his mind, 'Why is there a penalty this time? I don't think there was a penalty for the previous quest.'
[Upgrades Host.]
'...'
'And? Fuck! Don't tell me you added penalties just for fun.'
[It's for the benefit of the Host.]
'Fuck You!'
Shen Yuan looked at Huo Rong who had just asked him to sleep in their room today, he smiled nervously and said, "Ehehe I- I think it will be fun. I also want to spend some time with you." He still remembered his last quest, so he was also looking for an opportunity to complete it.
Huo Rong and Bing Rong cheered at his reply, "Yeahhh, it will be so fun tonight." Huo Rong said cheerfully. Then Huo Rong and Bing Rong looked at Shen Yuxin, asking for her permission.
Shen Yuxin looked at them and said in a slightly playful voice, "Even if I don't want my Yuan'er to leave me for one night, from the looks of it he will run away in the middle of the night, so just go and sleep there today."
Huo Rong and Bing Rong heaved a sigh as they got permission from Shen Yuxin, they began leaving the garden and going towards their room in tow with Shen Yuan, leaving Shen Yuxin to go to her room.
As Shen Yuan followed Huo Rong and Bing Rong to their room, he couldn't help but wonder how he would complete the quest, he was fairly sure that the first quest would be completed today.
The idea of sharing the same room with Huo Rong and Bing Rong excited him and made him nervous as well when he thought about what happened between him and Huo Rong during the day.
Once inside the room, Huo Rong and Bing Rong started making preparations for the night. The room was spacious, with well-decorated furniture, and a large bed adorned with silk sheets. There was incense burning as well to spread a good aroma.
Shen Yuan found that the environment of the room was comfortable with the aroma of the incense.
"Here Yuan'er, put this on," Bing Rong said with a smile, "It will be more comfortable for you when you sleep in it."
Shen Yuan nodded while taking the clothes and went to a nearby screen while the sisters busied themselves with their own preparation. When he emerged, he noticed that both of them had also changed into matching nightgowns, both excluding a mix of charm and comfort.
Huo Rong was wearing a blue nightgown while Bing Rong was wearing a red nightgown. Both wearing the opposite colors.
"Come, Yuan'er, let's sit down on the bed and talk, we have the whole night to talk to our heart's content today." Huo Rong spoke in a slightly suggestive tone, indicating that Shen Yuan talked about what happened in the bathroom.
But Shen Yuan played dumb and replied, "Yes, Sister Huo Rong, we have the whole night to ourselves tonight, so we can take our time to enjoy it."
Shen Yuan went to sit beside Huo Rong, just inches away from her, then Bing Rong came and sat beside Shen Yuan, effectively sandwiching him between them.
