It was a new day and Alex and Melissa woke up late as they had an intense cardio session all night long.
The two skipped breakfast and had lunch at 2 pm and went back to their room.
Alex worked for a bit and Melissa watched her favourite show while eating ice cream.
While working, Alex also checked the rewards he got from the quest completions.
The Assassination survival quest gave him lots of guns as a reward and as for escaping the police quest, it apparently gave him potions and a mystery box.
The escaping police quest wasn't completed till the time Alex was with Nicole and got completed only after the agent who dropped him home was gone.
Alex checked all the rewards and even opened the mystery box.
The mystery box contained a riddle of some sort that he had no idea of and thus, Alex put it aside for now and decided to check it again after some time.
At 4 pm, Alex finished with his work and decided to have a chat with Melissa.
He decided it would be best to go outside and take in the fresh air while talking.
Alex then left the house with Melissa and they walked their way to the park.
ραndαsnοvεl.cοm While walking, Alex held Melissa's hand and was about to ask her his first question but Melissa facepalmed and said instead,
"Haww… honey, we shouldn't be doing lewd things in public places."
"??" Alex tilted his head in confusion.
Melissa playfully chuckled and said pointing down at their hands, "hand holding is lewd!"
Alex gazed at her with a dumbstruck amusement. His wife sure was cheerful 24x7 and he wondered if the same was the case with his other wives.
Alex interlocked his fingers with Melissa's when she said that and pulled her slightly close to himself.
Alex then said, "if hand holding is lewd, then I guess I am a pervert."
"Oh my…" Melissa let out a surprised gasp. "It seems I've gotten married to a big pervert. What will happen to me now?"
Alex went close to Melissa's ear and said softly, "I am gonna… pinch your pinky and then rub my thumb on your hand."
Saying so, he actually started rubbing his thumb on her hand.
Melissa shivered. "Oh. My. God. What a pervert!"
Listening to her say omg, Alex was dumbfounded again. "Honey, you worship another God?"
"Eh?" Melissa was confused.
"Didn't you just say oh my god? Aren't you a God yourself?" Alex clarified.
"Ah…" Melissa realized this and laughed while facepalming. "I've heard this phrase so many times now that it feels normal to say this."
Melissa then got close to Alex and winked at him. "Plus, I do worship another God."
"Who?" Alex asked, curious.
Melissa chuckled and said, "you."
She then kissed his cheek and went back to walking normally.
"…" For a second Alex thought his wife got serious, but no, it was the same as always.
Shaking his head, Alex put this topic aside and asked, "honey, I've been meaning to ask, you talked about your sisters— my wives, they're going to come and kill me, right?"
Melissa nodded. "What of it?"
"Well, the recent attacks I've been involved in, it's done by some wife of mine, right?" Alex got to the main question.
Melissa thought about it and said, "I have no idea whether I should answer you this or not. Can you ask me something else, please?"
Alex nodded. "Leaving that aside, do you think Nix is my wife?"
"Woah…" Melissa let out a surprised gasp. "Are you hitting on single ladies despite being married, honey?"
Alex rolled his eyes. "Why are you so dramatic?"
Melissa giggled and hugged Alex from the side. "Sawry, couldn't control myself from teasing you."
Alex shook his head and asked, "so, is she or she isn't?"
Melissa raised her eyebrows up and down playfully and said, "We wouldn't know unless you ask her out. You should talk to her about this and not me."
Alex thought about it and said, "I mean, I can. But the problem is, what if the comfortable feeling I feel when I am around you and Nix… I feel this with someone who is not my wife and then ask her out and she says yes?"
Alex couldn't put this thing more easily and said what was on his mind.
"You're asking… what would happen if you propose to someone who isn't your wife and she agrees, right?" Melissa put it in simpler words and asked for clarification.
Alex nodded. "That's right. What then?"
Melissa chuckled. "Nothing. There's nothing that's gonna happen other than her becoming your wife."
"I see." Alex said. "Will you be unhappy if you get another sister?"
Melissa giggled in response. "Of course not. But my yandere sisters may not be happy with it and could come after you, so be careful. Though, I wanna point out one thing…"
"What is it?"
Melissa looked at Alex and with a calm smile, said, "she wouldn't be my sister if she's a stranger."
"Hmm?"
Melissa laughed and walking ahead, she pointed her finger to the sky and said, "to be called as my sister, the person needs to ascend to Godhood or needs to be a God."
Alex seemed confused and asked, "why is that?"
"It's simple," said Melissa. "If she isn't a God, she's gonna die someday."
'Oh dang…' Alex thought to himself. 'This took a dark turn really quick.'
Melissa then smiled and continued, "not to worry though. As long as you get her to cultivate hard, she could ascend to Godhood too. Oh yes, speaking of which, I'm gonna die too if you don't do something."
"What?"
Melissa chuckled. "I am a mortal now, darling. So are you. You gotta do something otherwise we both will die once we age. Our bodies are ageing as I speak, it's following the normal course of time and also the rules of this mortal world. So to say…"
Melissa made her eyebrows dance and continued, "you and me are both gonna look like a bag of bones once we get old. I am gonna not look as beautiful as now."
'Well… shit.' Alex thought to himself as heard this. This was something that was the normal course of life, but listening to it from his wife's mouth made it appear as if it was something really devastating.
"You're gonna die, I'm gonna do, your parents are gonna die, your—"
"Okay, okay, I get it, I get it." Alex asked his wife to stop.
Melissa chuckled and didn't comment on it further.
"I get that I need to cultivate hard and become an immortal, but what can I do with you and my parents? Is there some technique or treasure that I need to get to make you guys immortal?"
Melissa nodded her head and then shook it as well, leaving Alex further confused.
"You can get treasures or techniques, but I personally or your other wives who are Gods don't need it. You can however give them to your parents or other mortals to let them retain their youth as well as not age." Melissa answered.
"However, the most important thing that you need to do to keep me and other wives alive is…"
HONK! HONK!
"THE CHURCH FUCKING SUCKS!"
"THE CHURCH SHOULD BE BURNT DOWN!"
"THE SO CALLED HOLY PEOPLE CANNOT TOLERATE SCIENCE!"
Protestors in big trucks drove along the road waving flags and shouted out loud.
They stopped once they were in the vicinity of a church near the park and blocked the road, bringing out signs and protesting as loudly as they could.
"THEY SAY STEM CELL RESEARCH IS BLASPHEMY!"
THEY SAY MANKIND SHOULD NOT BELIEVE IN SCIENCE!"
"THEY ASK TO SHUT UP AND FOLLOW THE TEACHINGS OF GOD!"
The crowd of protesters immediately caught everybody's attention as they were near a busy park and had people gather around them.
As they continued to shout, the crowd watching them erupted in response as there were some devotees of the church within it who felt hurt by such slanders.
They immediately shouted back and said, "STEM CELL RESEARCH THREATENS THE SANCTITY OF LIFE!"
"STOP PLAYING GOD BLOODY WANNABES!"
Chaos ensued in no time near the park and Alex and Melissa had to temporarily stop their talks.
The two went towards the place of protest and stood away from the two sides who were not only cursing at each other, but also starting to get into a physical conflict.
Looking at the two sides fight, a little girl who was holding her mother's hand and standing in front of Melissa, turned to her mother and asked innocently,
"Mumma, mumma, does God get angry when we study science?"
