The mansion's living room was instantly struck by an invisible storm of emotions. Feelings of shock, wonder, confusion, and curiosity mixed into one unity that made the air in the room feel tense.
Allen, Alrain, Ordion, and Alvein froze with widened eyes. The four of them were very shocked to know who the female figure brought home and claimed as the fifth prospective spouse by their husband was.
On the other hand, Kylen, Dylan, Davin, and Arion who had never seen the woman before, felt very curious about the elegant green-haired figure currently holding hands tightly with Arvin.
"Sister?!" exclaimed Alrain, his voice breaking the silence with a tone of extraordinary shock.
Hearing the spontaneous exclamation from Alrain, the four of them immediately realized who the female figure who had just arrived was.
"Wait a minute... Are you our husband's fifth prospective spouse?" Alrain asked again, stepping forward with a gaze of disbelief.
"You are right, Alrain." Yonna answered frankly, her voice sounding gentle but full of certainty. "When he came to meet me here that night, he already promised to make me his fifth spouse."
Hearing the confirmation answer, Allen immediately interjected their conversation, demanding an explanation from Arvin.
"What is the meaning of all this, My Husband?" protested Allen with a deeply furrowed brow. "Haven't you always asserted all this time that you are completely not attracted to women? But now, why did you instead decide to marry a woman who is none other than Alrain's own biological sister?"
"I also truly cannot comprehend your line of thought this time, My Dear." said Ordion suddenly speaking up, crossing his arms over his chest. "Did your orientation taste suddenly change and you actually like women and men at the same time?"
Hearing the barrage of protests and confusion from his spouses, Arvin only let out a long sigh. He had already guessed from the start that rejection and confusion like this would definitely happen after they all knew who the fifth prospective spouse figure was.
"Yonna, just do it now." said Arvin calmly, releasing his hand grip and looking at the green-haired woman beside him. "Let them all see for themselves with their own eyes, what my reason for accepting you to be my fifth spouse is."
Yonna nodded in understanding. The woman closed her eyes for a moment, took a deep breath, and then began to concentrate all the mana flow in her body.
What happened next was truly beyond reason. An illogical phenomenon was clearly displayed right in front of their eyes.
A glow of mana began to emanate from Yonna's body. Her figure, which initially had the form of an elegant woman, slowly began to change shape.
Her long flowing green hair suddenly shrank and shortened into a neat male haircut. Her prominent breasts behind her shirt slowly shrank until the chest became broad and flat. Not only that, her delicate jawbone structure changed into a firm male jaw, accompanied by the appearance of an Adam's apple on her neck.
The gender change that occurred directly in the middle of the living room successfully caused an uproar among all of them.
"Y-Y-Yonna..." exclaimed Allen in heavy shock, his lips trembling in disbelief, never expecting to witness someone who could change their gender as easily as turning the palm of a hand. "You... you truly turned into a real man?"
Yonna, who was now completely in the form of a handsome green-haired youth, did not answer the barrage of confusion with words. To prove their doubts, the youth directly lowered and took off the pants and underwear he was wearing, letting them fall to the floor to show his shaft at the front of his crotch.
All the eyes that saw the illogical phenomenon immediately widened until they almost popped out of their eyelids. Not a single person in the room could speak. They were all silent, completely paralyzed in the face of the absurd ability they were currently witnessing.
"After seeing it yourselves, do you all understand now why I made Yonna my fifth spouse?" asked Arvin firmly, his voice breaking the absolute silence that had frozen the living room. "If it wasn't for the fact that he could permanently turn into a cute boy, it would have been impossible for me to be willing to marry him!"
Hearing the logical explanation and seeing the concrete proof in front of their eyes, Allen, Alrain, Ordion, and Alvein finally let out a long sigh. They completely understood the reason behind their husband's decision.
Arvin was still Arvin. His obsession with cute men had never changed.
But for Alrain, seeing his older sister who now stood tall in male form and would soon officially marry Arvin, was a moment that made his heart enveloped in indescribable relief and happiness.
I feel very happy... because in the end, my sister and I can continue to live together without having to be afraid of being separated by death again. thought Alrain in relief, his eyes slightly teary looking at Yonna's face. Forever, the two of us will live happily together under the protection of our husband.
"What are you waiting for?!" exclaimed Alrain suddenly, his enthusiasm exploding destroying the remnants of awkwardness. "Quickly propose to my sibling and make the Life-and-Death contract with him today before it gets later in the afternoon!"
The enthusiastic exclamation from Alrain was immediately met with cheers and nods of agreement from the other seven spouses. They all urged Arvin to quickly formalize his proposal.
Getting the approval and full support from all of them, Arvin smiled gently. He took out a ring from his dimensional storage space, then stepped forward and knelt on one knee in front of Yonna who was still in his male form.
The green-haired youth looked down at Arvin who was kneeling below him. His heart beat fast, anticipating the words of proposal, the ring that would encircle his finger, and the Life-and-Death vow that he would soon hear.
"Yonna, are you willing to be my life companion? Someone who will always accompany me in joy and sorrow, in life and death, from today until forever?" asked Arvin gently, looking straight into the youth's green eyes.
"I am very willing, Arvin!" answered Yonna happily, his voice now sounding deep like a youth.
Instantly, the living room fell silent again. Everyone held their breath, waiting for the lines of the vow that would soon be declared.
"O God who holds the universe..." Arvin's voice sounded deep and very solemn breaking the silence of the living room. "I, Arvin Vedegra, wish to marry this person whom I love deeply. I want to bind a Life-and-Death vow, forever with him. May You bestow Your blessing upon our marriage, and let our fates be intertwined as one!"
As soon as the sacred vow was spoken, Arvin immediately pinned and put the Gold ring with a transparent blue gem on the ring finger of Yonna's left hand.
What happened after Arvin stood up, Yonna immediately lunged forward, hugging the blue-haired youth's neck tightly, and passionately kissed the person who was now officially his husband.
Loud applause and congratulations were immediately heard echoing filling the living room, celebrating the happiness of their new family member.
"Alright, alright! Hurry upstairs and finish the Life-and-Death contract in the room!" exclaimed Allen with a playful smile, not wanting their time to be wasted much. "The two of you will definitely need time to make love for quite a while up there later!"
Realizing that the day was indeed getting late and the contract would be engraved during intimate intercourse, Arvin nodded.
While embracing Yonna's waist, he stepped up the stairs towards the master bedroom on the second floor, leaving his eight spouses who were still in the living room.
After Arvin and Yonna left for the upper floor, the eight youths directly laid back and sat casually on their respective sofas.
"Damn it!" cursed Alrain while laughing crisply, breaking the warm atmosphere in the living room. "I truly never expected that our husband's fifth spouse turned out to be my own biological sibling."
"You are not the only one shocked to death, Alrain!" chimed in Ordion shaking his head in disbelief. "I also completely didn't expect that Yonna would eventually marry our husband. And the craziest thing, that power to change gender instantly... that thing really gave me a heavy shock!"
"Yes, you are right! The power is indeed very unreasonable." replied Alrain, before finally leaning his body against the sofa with a very sincere smile. "But, aside from all the crazy surprises today, I feel very relieved. With this, my sibling and I will never be separated again until forever."
Alrain stared at the ceiling of the living room, feeling that the heavy burden that had been stuck in his heart was finally truly lifted completely.
