CHAPTER 69: HAREM RULES

"Heh, what I need is...Yueshan!"

Silence. Absolute silence fell over the garden. Yueshan’s jaw dropped to the ground—literally.

"W-What did you just say, brat?"

Veins popped all over her forehead. Rahu suddenly felt like there were thousands of invisible swords just a few cm away from him, one wrong word and.

But Rahu ignored her, turning towards the sky, his grin widened.

"So? Sect Master, can you give that?" he asked. "Y-You crazy bastard! What do you think you’re saying!?" Yueshan hissed. If not for the sect master, she would have pounced on him right here.

"...Rahu, you put me in a difficult position here..."

"H-Huh?! Sect Master!? Y-You?" Yueshan was flabbergasted by the betrayal. The knife was driven straight into her chest.

"Sect Master, believe me, I’m doing this for the greater good. I’m sure with Yueshan’s...personality, she will be single for the rest of her life, which will affect all of the male populace!" Rahu bowed, his tone and expression serious.

"R-Rahu!! You shameless rascal! How could you say such things with a straight face!" Yueshan’s neck turned deep red. From both embarrassment and anger.

"Pfft-hehe~"

The sect master laughed, her voice so melodious that it felt like heavenly music in Rahu’s ears.

"You say that with such confidence, but what if you fail?" she asked curiously. This guy was becoming increasingly interesting to watch.

"I will not, no matter how great a problem is, it could be solved with brains or absolute strength. And even if I do, it will be only once! I will be the victor next time...that, I can assure."

His voice sounded so confident that the sect’s master was taken aback for a moment.

"But...Sect Master, that is not my concern here," before she could reply, he spoke. He had a frown on his face.

"Then what is bothering you?"

"Would you...be able to handle the consequences of the aftermath?" He asked, his expression serious.

"Oh? Look at this boy, he is not just smart, he is shrewd." The sect master thought inwardly. He wasn’t just asking a simple question; he was probing. Digging the information, and by his words, it was clear. The moment things turned south, he would abandon them.

Swwrrrrr

Whoooosh!

The atmosphere shifted, the gentle blue sky slowly darkened, slowly turning into blood red. It was maddening. Enough to affect even the Origin Realm cultivators’ strong mindset.

A large face began to form; it was of a woman, and it was several kilometers wide. Her features were terrifying. Pitch black eyes and a smile so wide that it almost reached its ears. A horrifying entity.

Even Yueshan frowned, a bit uncomfortable. She turned her head to check his condition, but what she saw shocked her to the core.

There he stood, with his head raised up at the sky, glancing at that face with a wild grin on his face, his heart beating incredibly fast. It was eerily similar to the one in the sky.

"You don’t have to worry about the consequences, Rahu. Now, are you satisfied?"

But Rahu didn’t answer; his face was fixed in the sky.

"Sect Master...I think we should change my rewards a bit here..."

...

Later at night in Vivianne’s residence

"...Are you sure?"

"Mhm...yes"

In a large ornate chair, Vivianne was sitting on his lap, hugging his neck and burying her head inside his chest.

She had been like this for an hour now. He did have an idea of what this could be.

"I-Im sorry...I’m probably the most useless and weak among your women. I can’t help you with anything."

Vivianne spoke, although her tone was level. But Rahu could hear the faintest tremble in her voice.

It seems she had finally reached her breaking point, after all, just imagining being stuck in the Vital Core Realm for more than fifty years was probably beyond frustrating. It requires more than courage.

But he didn’t say anything, his head replaying the conversation he had with Yueshan.

...

In the garden, after the sect master had left, leaving some instructions.

Turning his head towards a frustrated Yueshan, who was glaring right at his soul.

With a smirk, he slowly stepped towards her. She raised a brow at his actions.

"Say, Yueshan, what do you think of me?" Rahu smirked, looking down at her face.

"An arrogant, obnoxious, self-centered, narcissist jerk," she didn’t dare say the handsome part because she knew this game, one wrong move and this bastard will be all over her.

"Hahaha! That’s why I like you, Yueshan. And of course you missed the handsome part." Rahu laughed, making Yueshan twitch.

"Alright, we will see after this small mission of mine. But now I have something important to ask."

"Oh? And what is that?"

"Tell me about Vivianne’s seal." The instant those words left his mouth, Yueshan’s expression changed, her eyes sharpened as she glanced at his face.

"Why are you asking this?" Instead of answering, she asked another question.

"What do you mean by why? Of course, because she is my Rahu’s woman! And know this, in my harem, there are three strict rules a woman has to follow."

"Heh? And what are those?"

Hearing her question, his hands moved. He held her chin and lifted it.

"One, my woman can never be left unsatisfied, so I take extra care to plough them twice a day. Second, my woman can only cry in pleasure, not in depression or dejection, and lastly...they aren’t allowed to stay weak. This...I make sure of."

Yueshan’s heart shook hearing his words. This may sound controlling and evil to others, but Yueshan, for the first time, heard those...protective words from him.

She hasn’t even released his hands on her chin. It seemed his violet orbs were drawing her soul and trapping it in there for eternity.

"So? Are you interested in joining?"

His next words snapped her back into existence. She slapped his hands away and glared at him.

"Hmph! We’ll see that, if you survive the inheritance realm, that is!" Yueshan huffed and turned her head. She feared something wrong might happen once again if she kept looking at his face. That too, after that damned master of hers promised this bastard!

"So? What is it?"

"Sigh...Alright, I’ll tell you. But, promise me you’ll never say this to Vivianne!" Yueshan finally gave in.

Rahu nodded, it was damn time he knew what the fuck was going on.

Yueshan took a deep breath and looked straight into his eyes.

"The...thing is...Vivianne is not from this world..."
