CHAPTER 124: CHAPTER 124 - A GIFT TO SON OF HEAVEN

The woman who entered was breathtaking.

Yu Xiang’s violet eyes widened as she took in the newcomer’s appearance—soft, flowing curves that seemed to move with natural grace, dark hair that caught the light like silk, and an aura of gentle warmth that filled the entire room.

Vines trailed around her form like living jewelry, their emerald leaves seeming to pulse with life energy, while her full figure was accentuated by robes that managed to be both modest and alluring.

But what truly shocked Yu Xiang wasn’t the woman’s beauty.

It was the Emperor’s face.

The moment his eyes—crimson mixed with gold, hard to tell which color every time—fell upon the newcomer, his entire expression... softened.

The sharp, calculating look that had been assessing her and Chen melted away, replaced by something warm, tender, almost vulnerable.

It was the same expression she’d witnessed a week ago.

Yu Xiang’s mind reeled as the memory surfaced with crystal clarity.

Her mind went off to remember a week ago, when she had for the first time seen him standing there beside that woman who was breaking through the Void Returning Realm.

A pale, voluptuous figure with eyes closed and massive breasts, someone who radiated cold energy even while seated in cultivation. Yet, her mere presence had melted away the Emperor’s cold cage. Whenever his gaze landed on her, it was filled with infatuation.

The way he’d looked at that woman... Yu Xiang had assumed it was exclusive. Special. The kind of expression reserved for one person alone.

’But now he’s showing the same look to another woman?’

Her sharp mind, so accustomed to reading people and situations, struggled to process this new information.

’Wait... does he have two wives?’

The thought hit her like the land beneath her feet had vanished. She’d spent weeks crafting her strategy around the assumption that the Emperor had one weakness—one woman who could influence his decisions and emotions.

But if there were multiple women...

"Husband, am I disturbing you?" the newcomer began, her voice melodious and warm.

’!’

But caught in her line of sight, and given her intuition around men, she felt her blood run cold with a mixture of shock and disgust as she saw the expression of Zhao Chen, from whose shoulder her hand slowly slid as she observed his face.

Chen’s golden eyes were drinking in the newcomer’s form with obvious hunger.

His gaze traced the curve of her breasts, the sway of her hips, the way the vines seemed to caress her skin.

His tongue actually darted out to wet his lips, and there was something predatory in his expression that made Yu Xiang’s stomach turn.

’This idiot... is he lusting for the Emperor’s wife?’

The realization struck her, especially given how stupid this was.

Here was Chen, supposedly an idiot who, after realizing how valuable the Emperor was, had manipulated him by telling her biggest secret—how she could transfer her cultivation to the man she gave her body to. She did it simply because she knew he was weaker than her and couldn’t force her. By using him to gain favor from the Emperor, she would become strong while keeping him blinded, thinking he was investing in her. The same thing she had done to her master.

She thought he was a fool who could be manipulated as much as she wanted before being thrown away—but the moment another beautiful woman appeared, he was mentally undressing her with his eyes.

Right in front of her grandfather. Right in front of the most powerful man in the realm.

’Is she Xiao’s sister?’ Zhao Chen, looking at the woman who had arrived, remembered seeing her at the time of his visit when the Immortal Sect had attacked using dimensional rifts.

At that time, he had seen her. She looked just like a normal woman. But today, he felt a strange calm merely by her passing beside him.

:: Disciple, that woman is meant for you. Her destiny seems to link to you. ::

Confirming his doubt was the voice of his master, which made him look towards her tenderly as he realized she was destined to be with him.

’I seem to have fallen in love again, Master—’ He wanted to say how his heart was fluttering and thumping before suddenly a hand grabbed that thumping heart, like the claw of a dragon, clenching it as his whole body trembled with goosebumps, sweat instantly breaking out, and finally a voice came that made him shake to his core.

"Lower your gaze, or I’ll kill you." It was Tianlong’s voice, his killing intent concentrated on that fool who had just managed to piss him off.

Chen’s face went ashen as the Emperor’s killing intent washed over him. Sweat beaded on his forehead as he hastily dropped his gaze to the floor, his entire body trembling under the weight of that thousand-metric-ton force pressing on him.

"I... I apologize, grandfather," he stammered, his voice barely above a whisper. "I meant no disrespect."

’System...’ Tianlong, looking towards him, just wanted to kill the man, but he clenched his fist, knowing that not now—he would have a better opportunity to deal with him.

But naturally, he couldn’t leave those eyes which might again make him frustrated, as he could not control his anger every time.

So he simply asked the system for something to purchase for Zhao Chen so he could have a strong Dao Heart. ’Is there something in the shop to make one impotent?’

DING!

Tianlong’s golden-crimson eyes narrowed on Zhao Chen’s trembling body, lips curling in amusement.

’So many gifts to purchase for you... I could make you a dog burning with lust yet unable to mount anything... or strip you down clean, leaving you nothing but a half-man gnawed by your own lust.’

His fingers tightened as the killing intent simmered.

’System...’ he mused coldly.

’Show me how many Harem Points I have.’ And it was as if Tianlong had already chosen the best option. As a grandfather, he should not act stingy and thus decided to invest in the most expensive purchase for Zhao Chen.

[Total Harem Points presently: 8,200 HP]

’Use 3000 and tell me, will Heaven intervene if I fed this to him?’
