180 THE WEDDING WITH TWO
In this world of Sin, power was everything.
It dictated survival, shaped destinies, and carved paths through the chaos. Corruption, she realized, was not inherently malevolent—it was simply a consequence, an inevitable shadow cast by the light of immense strength.
It was a price many paid, but not one that necessarily damned them.
Leo, with his unyielding resolve and sharp mind, had shown her that power could be mastered rather than feared. He was not immune to the temptations that came with strength, but he was not ruled by them either.
And in that balance, Yun-Yun found solace.

[Court La Mood]
Court La Mood had reopened its doors, brimming once again with life and indulgence. With the arrival of new courtesans from Debauchery City, the establishment buzzed with energy, drawing in lust-hungry patrons eager to part with their coin.
Amid the revelry, an unexpected guest entered, her reluctance written across her face as she was led by her daughter.
"Why must you bring me here?" Madam Chantrieri snapped, her tone sharp with frustration. "Do you think I haven't suffered enough humiliation at the hands of Lilleo Gullee?"
"Ah, Madam Chantrieri," Leo greeted her smoothly, stepping forward with a polite bow. "Welcome to our house."
Her eyes narrowed, filled with suspicion. "Why have you summoned me here?"
Leo's expression remained composed. "I invited you here because of Petunia. She wants to protect your Lotus family, and I promised to help her do that."
"Protect us? You nearly destroyed us!" she retorted, her voice rising.
"It wasn't Leo who nearly ruined us—it was Sakema," Petunia interjected firmly.
Madam Chantrieri fell silent, acknowledging the truth in her daughter's words, though her pride kept her lips pressed tight.
Leo seized the moment. "Sodom City is vast, and there's room enough for both our families. There's no need for rivalry or the endless cycle of destruction it brings."
Her gaze sharpened. "What are you proposing?"
"A merger between our families," Leo said plainly.
Her brows shot up in surprise. "A merger? You mean to marry my daughter?"
"Yes," Leo replied with an air of confidence. "Your daughter is already mine in all but name. The title is just a formality."
Petunia flushed and gave him a playful slap on the shoulder.
Arum, standing nearby, spoke up. "This is the best choice—for both the family and for Petunia."
Madam Chantrieri looked around the room, her eyes narrowing with suspicion. "All of you… scheming against me," she muttered, her anger simmering.
Leo raised a hand, offering a compromise. "What if we allow the Lotus family to manage one of the towers in Court La Mood? You'll have a world-class brothel, complete with casinos and flesh markets. We split the profits—an even partnership. Everyone wins."
Her skepticism lingered. "And why would you need us? You already have everything here."
Petunia chimed in, her voice steady and persuasive. "Right now, we have an Eastern theme. We'll build a new wing, managed by our family, with a Western aesthetic—hot baths, unique games, and themes from the West. Something fresh and distinct."
"We also have access to stronger security and an exclusive pharmacy if we work together, the Lotus family can thrive in this place," she added, leaning closer to her mother.
Madam Chantrieri's sharp gaze softened as she considered the proposal. "Variety for the customers and diversification for the business… it might work."
Leo stepped forward, offering his hand. "Then we have an agreement. Our families shall be united."
Madam Chantrieri studied him for a long moment before accepting his hand. "Very well. I look forward to our family's union."
Petunia smiled brightly, her eyes shimmering with relief and satisfaction. "Yes! Thank you, Mother."

[West Wing- Court La Mood]
The West Wing of Court La Mood, a magnificent new addition to the already opulent establishment, opened its doors in a breathtaking display of magic and grandeur.
The opening was not marked by a mundane ribbon-cutting ceremony but by an event destined to become legend—the wedding of Lilleo Gullee and his two wives, Yun-Yun and Petunia.
The entire city of Sodom buzzed with anticipation.
Every influential figure, from the President of the Pharmaceutical Association to the Dean of Sodom City Academy of Magic, had gathered for what was heralded as the event of the year: the union of the Gullee and Lotus families. The merging of two powerful houses signaled not just a personal celebration but a shift in the balance of power across the city.
The courtyard of Court La Mood had been transformed into a magical wonderland. Floating lanterns illuminated the twilight sky, their lights shimmering in hues of gold and crimson. Enchanted cherry blossoms swirled gently through the air, carried by invisible breezes. The sound of an ethereal orchestra, with instruments played by enchanted automata, set a majestic tone.
Guests were seated on velvet cushions surrounding a raised altar of jade and obsidian, adorned with intricate carvings of mythical beasts.
"This day finally has come," Leo murmured standing at the altar. Dressed in a black and gold ceremonial robe lined with shimmering dragon scales, he carried himself with the confidence of a king.
Suddenly, a hush fell over the crowd as the brides made their entrance—not escorted by guards or family members, but by golden dragons.
Dragon Rakhshasa Body Transformation Sutra.
Yun-Yun and Petunia soared through the sky, their forms radiating divine light. The guests gasped in awe as the two descended gracefully onto the altar, their golden dragons dissolving into a cascade of light.
Counselor Huggins stepped forward to conduct the ceremony while Lillye and Madam Chantrieri were witnesses.
The counselor's staff made of ancient wood glowed softly as he began to speak the binding words of union, his voice resonating with magical authority.
As the ceremony reached its climax, Leo took the hands of his brides, his golden aura intertwining with their energies. With the final declaration, a surge of magic rippled across the courtyard.
"Boom" "Boom" "Boom"
Fireworks of pure mana exploded in the sky, showering the city with streaks of brilliant light. The three were united in marriage, the applause was thunderous, but the celebration was cut short.
Suddenly, a group of messengers burst into the courtyard, their faces pale with terror. One stumbled forward, gasping for breath.
"Something big has happened!" he cried.
