    "Ughh."

    "..My head."

    "Why is everything spinning ..Fuck, it hurts like hell!"

    "..."

    "Am I still alive?"

    Before I could figure out my situation, a bright ray of light illuminated everything as I felt myself losing my consciousness.

    At the same time when the young boy felt unconscious, a mysterious voice resounded in his mind.

 Chapter 2: First Contact

    Chapter 2: First Contact

    Even though my eyes were heavy, with some difficulty I still managed to force them open.

    What greeted me was an unfamiliar sky. I was sure I was in some farmer''s field. But the wheat crop around me was clearly much longer than your usual nts.

    "Die! You demon cat!"

    "Meoooww"

    Just as I managed to support my exhausted body with my bare hands, I heard a woman and a cat''s voice.

    This meow was much louder than a voice a cat could make.

    From the voices, I could feel the fighting was getting more and more intense.

    "Where the heck am I?"

    I wanted to ask someone various questions popping into my head, but only that cat beast and woman were near me.

    From the gruesome voices, I felt scared inwardly. Even though curiosity was at an all-time high, I still managed to hold back.

    I waited patiently for some minutes before the fighting sound subsided.

    "Ok, let''s get close now, both parties must be tired after the long battle."

    With staggering footsteps, I finally moved in the direction from where the voice wasing.

    "Wow, this woman has such a pretty face."

    -I was mesmerized by the beauty lying down. Her hands were half-covering her wound.

    As my gaze moved towards the left, I saw a big cat no..

    Perhaps, it''s a tiger? I was not sure.

    That big beast also had its chest pierced with a sword but it was still breathing heavily lying opposite the woman.

    Both the woman and beast seem to be locked in a battle of attrition.

    Hearing my footsteps, both of them looked towards me.

    Their eyes wereplicated~

    Had it been their heyday, they won''t bother to spare me a nce.

    But right now, both of them knew this mere human was capable of changing the oue of the battle.

    "Hel-Help me, boy, this demon cat has killed lots of innocents. It must die today."

    -The woman''s eyes flickered for a second.

    At the same time, the beast growled~

    "Grrrrrrr!"

    -Even though I did not know itsnguage, I was pretty sure it was asking me not to believe that woman.

    I looked to-and-fro between them.

    "What benefit can you give me?"

    -I asked.

    Before the woman could speak, the wild beast gave a majestic growl.

    As I looked towards it, it spat out a shiny red Pearl from its tongue.

    "It''s the legendary bead of life."

    "B-but wasn''t it supposed to be something that was lost in the ancient past", the woman blurted out.

    The dazzled exmation was written all over her face.

    The big cat appeared to be smiling after spitting out that bead. It was as if it was already sure that the mere human will choose its side.

    Seeing the delighted face of the wild beast, the woman gritted her teeth.

    "Even though I don''t have anything of simr value. I promise I can make an exception and admit you to my cultivation sect."

    She paused for a second before sizing me up.

    "You do know that mere humans like you can never get a chance to join some prestigious sects. The resources needed for mortals to step in the cultivation path are too much.so only naturally talented people below the age of 10 are admitted to those big sects."

    ''Cultivation sects? Mortals?''

    -There were question marks all over my face.

    ''Don''t tell me that I transmigrated to a cultivation world like I read in some novels during my spare time.''

    ''Damn, if it''s really the case the situation is fucked up.''

    ''How will I survive now?''

    ''In the stories, the cultivation world was a very dangerous world unless you have some overpowered cheat code.''

    ''I don''t even seem to have a backing!''

    -various conflicting thoughts shed through my mind as I did my best to not show any sign of anxiety on my calm face.

    ''Whatever the case, it''s better to first find somece to live before I can decide my further course of action.''

    -Ignoring the two who were eagerly waiting for me to make a choice, I had a good time contemting over.

    "Have you decided it, human?"

    "Grrrrrrhhhh"

    -Both the parties spoke impatiently.

    ....

    I walked towards the gorgeous woman.

    Bending slightly I took the extra pair of swords hanging on her waist.

    Jejeehhhh~

    The wild beast was ted seeing my actions.

    "I guess that''s how it will end", she closed her eyes as she started chanting some mysterious words

    It was only a few seconds but I dexterously stabbed the sword straight into the wild beast''s heart. Its chest was already ripped open from the earlier fight. There was no way it could avoid this fatal attack at such a close range.

    The beast knowing that it''s death was already certain, crushed the bead it had spitted out earlier before perishing.

    Seeing such a scene, a little regret shed through my eyes.

    ''I hope what this women gives is good!''

    "?"

    -the woman steadily opened her trembling eyes, stopping with her chant halfpleted.

    "Yeah, I killed that beast."

    "Don''t you dare go back on your promise?"

    "Really?"

    -There was a sly smile on her face.

    "If a mortal joins a cultivation sect at your age, he is bound to face discrimination. I can give you some money and you can live happily in some countryside."

    "Nah, don''t go back on your words. I will stay at your sect. Plus, you even promised to allot some resources to me. Who knows if I am ate bloomer?"

    -I replied.

    ''There''s no way I am staying in this dangerous world alone, hehe'', there was a sneer on my face.

    "Okay, give me some minutes."

    -The woman took out some healing pills and as soon as she put them in her mouth, her wounds were recovering at an outstanding pace.

    "In-between, my name is Shenshah, what should I call this beauty?"

    -I tried to brush up some favour by ttering her.

    "Just call me Sect Master", she replied nonchntly.

    Suddenly I felt my feet being lifted from the ground.

    "Fuck, am I flying?"

    "Don''t behave like a viger just stay still."

    After flying for about half an hour, a big vi, sort of like ancient Buddhist monastery, came into my vision.

    The sect was located on top of a hill, the fog from the adjoining river, which engulfed most of the buildings, was a sight to behold.

    We stopped at a corner of a peak which was almost invisible.

    "This is my sect -The immortal Paradise. As promised, you will live in that cave. From an invisible spatial pocket, she took out a carry bag and threw it towards me. This bag contains the sect''s general-disciple token along with some spirit stones. It''s enough to cultivate for 4 years, this is the biggest generosity I can provide."

    "If you still fail to step in the immortal way, you can only me your bad luck."

    -Just as she finished speaking, she disappeared into thin air. For her, who from the start had looked down on variousmoners, the time given to this boy was already worth more than the promise.

    If things hade down to a final showdown, she would have burned her life essence. Also, there were still weapons in her inventory that were still unused.

    Meeting Shenshah was just pure luck that she didn''t care much about.

    Even without his help she was sure of her victory~

    I looked at her back sarcastically.

    "You look down so much on me, one day I shall have the finalugh."

    "After all, luck is also a skill!"

    -Holding the storage bag that she gave me tightly, I went inside the empty cave which would be my future home.

    It was time to check what good stuff I leached from her.

    There was a basic manual exining sect rules, along with a rubbish introduction to cultivation telling about various sses.

    But what caught my eye was the pamphlet- "A beginner''s guide."

    "Haha!. Baby that''s what I am looking for."

    Knowledge is power~

    The more I read, the more serious my face was.

    "It''s gonna be tough", I murmured to myself.

 Chapter 3: The new determination

    Chapter 3: The new determination

    There was nothing great about me.

    I used to live an average life, the grades were barely enough to pass.

    Had no ambition.

    My life was just like that.I was barely survivin~

    My parents instilled the basic idea in my mind.

    Get enough grades, get a decent job, marry someone

    Then have children, continue your family line.

    Live your usual married life and pass in old age.

    And I did not have any rebellious thoughts regarding it.

    Sure, I had some fun moments where adrenaline would rush in my veins, but those moments can be counted on my fingers.

    I had some hobbies, and reading other-worldly books on inte was on top of that list.

    Perhaps, I did not have any motivation that''s why I didn''t feel any remorse or fear when I suddenly fell into a well.

    It was still vivid in my mind, how I visited an old vige for some research purpose.

    Just as I was examining the well, my foot slipped and I fell into it.

    After that I could only perceive myself falling and falling..

    Into a bottomless abyss~

    Just when I thought I lost my life, I opened my eyes in this strange world.

    Brushing off my drifting thoughts about my past life, I finally focused on the pamphlet that told about this world''s background.

    "I see."

    "So that''s how it is."

    "ording to the people who live here, this world is just like a tower.divided into various floors."

    "As you get stronger, you can climb to higher floors."

    "There are various races living on different floors."

    "Some floors are human-dominated while others have different races like elves, werewolves, vampires etc as masters."

    "There are 200 known floors which have been climbed up by living beings uptill now."

    "Above it, there''s no record if someone has ever climbed."

    "To climb to a higher floor, one must defeat the floor''s natural guardian."

    "Hmm, seemsplicated but with time I should get used to it."

    "Atleast, the cultivation is simr across all races."

    "I am currently on the second floor."

    "And, this sect is like the top 10 sect in the entire tower."

    "Lastly, this pretty woman, who calls herself sectmaster, is among the top 50 in rankings."

    I took a deep breath.

    I felt a sudden desire to be stronger.

    A new world, with brand new stuff managed to arouse my interest~

    Just like an adventurer, who is crazy to discover a new ce, my long lost heart suddenly found a reason to live on.

    "In myst life, I wanted to live happilyin this life I shall carry the same goal."

    "But I was always struck with fear that like all, when we die, everything including wealth, rtions will be left behind."

    "Since now I have the chance to pursue immortality, I will do my best."

    -The voice of the lone boy kept reverberating throughout the cave as with each passing second his determination became stronger and stronger.

    ....

    Just like that 2 years had passed, the resources that the sect master left with me, which were enough to even cross the foundation stagewere almost exhausted.

    "Shit! Maybe I should have taken gold and bought a decent sized vi in the countryside."

    "At Least, then I wouldn''t be this miserable."

    All my peers who joined along with me were already in the middle stage of foundation building but I was still stuck at Qi-gathering third stage.

    "Each realm has ten sub-stages. If this goes on, I don''t think I will ever reach Qi-gathering tenth stage."

    Just as I was immersed in cursing myself, I heard a shout from outside.

    "Brother!"

    "Senior brother,e out."

    -a melodious voice belonging to a beauty came inside.

    "Looks like I have to go out to see them", I opened the door and went out.

    There it was~

    2 beautiful girls were standing there along with a boy.

    The disdain on boy''s face was too vivid to ignore but I still kept quiet.

    "Xenia, Quanzhi, why are you two here?"

    "What''s the matter?"

    -I asked the two young maidens.

    Before they could speak the boy with disdainful eyes along with them spoke.

    "Is this the person you were talking about?"

    Tsk~

    "He is just at Qi-gathering third stage."

    -the boy spoke ridiculously.

    "Senior brother Leon, please don''t make fun of Shenshah."

    "Last time it was only because of his strategy that we managed to kill the wild beasts without any loss."

    Hearing them, the events of the past shed through my mind.

    These two girls too started their cultivationte and were almost simr to my age.

    When the task to kill some wild beasts was first issued, I was able to form a team with them. Thanks to the experience from my past life, I managed toplete the task efficiently.

    But both of them have now reached the Qi-gathering eight stage while I am still struck at the third stage.

    "Hmm, isn''t it killing some wild beasts?"

    "What sort of nning do you require toplete such an easy task?"

    -The boy refused to give in.

    Ignoring the boy I replied,

    "It''s okay, you both tell me how I can help you?"

    "Brother Shenshah, there is a foundation-level demonic-beast spreading menace in a nearby vige."

    "We n to kill him, the vigers are weak and innocent. Moreover, as a disciple of a great sect we must help the needy", Xenia spoke with a smile on her face.

    ''Foundation-level demon beast?''

    ''Nahhh, it''s way too risky!''

    ''I am not some protagonist that can escape with a fluke of luck.''

    -In my head, I had already denied the possibility of going with them.

    "Xenia, Quanzhi"

    With my right hand scratching my head, I replied with some shame.

    "My strength is too low for this mission."

    "I think you guys can do this task without me."

    "I don''t wanna risk my life for some vigers."

    "When I reach the foundation stage, only then will I take up such a task."

    -even though I was embarrassed, I was not a fool.

    I had always lived my life practically. Only do things which you are sure of~

    "I can''t believe our Immortal Paradise sect has such a cowardly disciple."

    "Didn''t I say earlier we don''t need toe here and waste our time."

    "Let''s leave."

    -Leon started walking away in big strides.

    Sighs~

    Both Xenia and Quanzhi looked at me with disappointed eyes.

    "Brother Shenshah, you should be a righteous person. We should do our best to help others even if we are not capable", Quanzhi said.

    "Yeah, if you kept hiding in a cave.then how will you break through?"

    "Only by actively taking sect tasks and fighting strong enemies can you gain experience", added Xenia.

    ''Nah, I don''t need such righteousness.''

    ''I joined the sect in the first ce as it was the safest ce in this dangerous world..How can I leave such a safe ce and risk my life fighting those ferocious demon beasts?''

    -I had long decided that I won''t easily leave this sect.

    "Okay, I have to prepare to break through Qi-gathering fourth stage in a couple of days."

    "If you two have nothing else, I will take my leave."

    "No it''s okay, we won''t waste your time. Since you already refused to go with us, we will too take our leave."

    "Let''s go Xenia", Quanzhi spoke slowly.

    I watched them as the two slowly disappeared from my vision.

    "Okay, it''s time to prepare for the breakthrough."

    "All my future life depends on it."

    "Toplete my dream to live forever happily, I must achieve sess."

 Chapter 4: Meeting the Sect Master again

    Chapter 4: Meeting the Sect Master again

    With almost all the preparations done, I sat cross-legged on the ground.

    I had already re-checked every single detail and even tightly closed the door so that no one could disturb me.

    With reluctance, I took out the storage bag the sect-master had given me when I first came to the sect.

    Sighs~

    "This is thest batch of spirit stones left with me."

    "If I fail this time, then I will just think this cultivation path is not for me."

    -I spoke with emotion.

    One by one, I started absorbing the spirit stones.

    My internal energy started rising rapidly.

    Just as when I was about to cross the threshold, I suddenly felt a pang in my chest.

    I coughed four times.

    When I looked at my hand they were already covered in blood.

    At the same time, my aura started declining rapidly.

    "Fuck is this the bacsh from not being able to advance?"

    "Shit!"

    My rapidly declining aura finally stabilized at Qi-Gathering second stage.

    "Haha, I am really an unlucky guy."

    -It would be a lie if I say I was not saddened by the failure to breakthrough.

    "I guess I will have to choose the backup option now."

    I had already considered the possibility of a failure therefore, after some deliberation I hade up with a backup n.

    Qi-gathering second stage is still considered a strong person in the mortal world. With such a cultivation base, I can easily live a happy life somece.

    Since even after using so many resources I can''t breakthrough.Why bother to keep wasting time?

    The unwillingness and helplessness soon disappeared from my face.

    "It''s time to start the next chapter of my life."

    Packing up all the stuff in my backpack I went out of my cave.

    Before leaving I looked back at my cave.

    "2 years passed so quickly."

    "Let''s leave, leaving is for a better tomorrow."

    I kept walking till I arrived at the sect master''s peak.

    After telling the maid about my identity, I was allowed to walk inside.

    The beautiful woman whom I once saved was sitting on a high-seat.

    "Oh, when the maid reported that you havee to meet me, I at first didn''t believe it as you haven''te to me for the past 2 years."

    "So tell me, Why are you here?"

    "Ohhh, let me guess!"

    -her tone became a little sarcastic.

    "The cultivation resources that I left with youst time must be already exhausted."

    "You must be here to ask for more spirit stones, right?"

    "Nooo, I did note here to ask for any more spirit stones.

    -Hearing me deny her allegations, her eyes widened for a second.

    "Oh, then why are you here?"

    -She asked curiously.

    In her eyes, what business can an untalented and weak person like me have~

    "I realized that my body is not suitable for cultivation."

    "Just a while back, I failed to breakthrough and even suffered a realm-drop due to bacsh."

    "I finally concluded that it''s better for me to leave the sect and live the rest of my life happily."

    ''Of course, since I failed to breakthrough, I knew that I would be kicked out sooner orter. After all, ording to sect rules, waste people like me should be expelled after 3 years.''

    ''It''s better to leave voluntarily than to be expelled and be ridiculed in public as a waste'', I sneered inwardly.

    "Oh, how do you n to live happily?"

    -She asked, her tone full of curiosity.

    "Marry a beautiful girl, have a child of my own, as I spend my old age with the family that I shall create."

    -I replied as if it was natural.

    "Marry?"

    "Have a child, start a family?"

    "Your mind is filled with mortal thoughts, no wonder you failed to breakthrough."

    -The sect master spoke with some disappointment.

    "It''s okay, at least you are now aware that this path is not for you."

    "Since you n to live your life like those ordinary people"

    She thought for a second before opening her mouth again.

    "There is a vige downhill along the river, you can live the rest of your life there."

    "With your current cultivation base, you can help the vigers with various stuff and at the same can earn enough."

    "Disciple understands."

    -I nodded meekly at her.

    "Okay, you can leave now."

    -She flicked her fingers and the next second I was already out of her cave.

    "Let''s leave."

    "By the sunset, I should be able to reach the vige, the sect master told me."

    After walking for some minutes, I was already at the exit of the sect.

    I decisively walked out as the guards stationed there didn''t bother to spare a nce at a waste like me.

    Although I hadn''te out of the sect much, I was still aware of the general surroundings.

    With some analysis, I quickly located the vige''s direction and started heading off.

    After 2 hours of walking, I finally arrived at my destination.

    Just from some distance, the vige seemed serene.

    With big trees and a river surrounding the vige on either side, it was a natural fortress.

    "It looked like a perfect ce to spend the rest of your life", I mumbled in a low voice.

    After entering the vige, and inquiring from the local people I headed towards the lord''s house.

    A lord was like the main person with whom all the important vige''s decision-making power resided.

    After knocking on the door for some minutes, it finally opened.

    A maid came out,

    "Hello Sir, How can I help you?"

    "Please tell the lord that a disciple from the Immortal Paradise sect came on the request of the sect master."

    "Wait for a second, I will inform the lord."

    Soon a fat-chubby man came out.

    Judging from the fat hanging on his loose skin and his walking posture as if he would fall any moment, the lord came at the door.

    "Hello, it is my honour to meet a strong person like you."

    "But let me confirm, you said you were sent by the Sect Master, right?"

    "Yes", I nodded.

    "Good, then it will be much simpler."

    "The vige needs someone to patrol around. Lately, there has been a rise in criminal activity, as a result, many vigers are scared to walk freely."

    "I see", I listened to him carefully.

    Things were much simpler than I thought, basically they needed someone like a police officer to keep a check on bad people.

    With someone with a cultivation base doing this job, no one would dare to have any mischievous thoughts.

    Seeing me not answering, the lord of the vige became anxious.

    "Don''t worry we will provide you with a house to live in and will also provide 10 gold coins per month as sry."

    -he hurriedly spoke.

    "It''s been so long since we requested the Immortal Paradise sect to send someone, finally they sent you."

    "If you have any requirements just speak, we will try to amodate."

    "No, I am satisfied with the conditions."

    "I just need to take a stroll in the evening to keep a check on the vige, I can easily do it."

    -I spoke righteously.

    I would be a fool if I would deny such a free meal, you know 10 gold coins are still a lot in the current world plus I was getting a free ce to stay. All I had to do was beat some bad guys.

    The vige lord held my hands excitedly.

    "Thank you Sir for deciding to stay in our lowly vige."

    "Yeah, the pleasure is mine", I shook off his grip on my hands.

    "Okay, La please show the young master his new home", the lord spoke embarrassingly.

    ''Oh so the name of that beautiful maid is La'', I noted it in my mind.

    "Yes, master!"

    -Obeying the lord''s order La took me to a big empty house at the corner of the vige.

    "Young master, is this house fine?"

    -La asked me.

    "Yeah this is good, I like it."

    The house was well-built and spacious. It was at a ce where no one would disturb me. It was perfect for me~

    "Then the young master can stay here."

    -La gave me the keys to the house before leaving.

 Chapter 5: Taking the first girl home

    Chapter 5: Taking the first girl home

    Just like this 4 days passed~

    Life in the vige was really chill, without any worries.

    As the vige lord promised, I was provided with free breakfasts and dinner.

    At the time of the meal, some maid from lord''s mansions would bring the tiffin.

    "Okay, let''s wear a good shirt."

    "It''s time for my evening patrol."

    -You must look good and domineering enough while patrolling.

    In thest few days, I met the so-called miscreants, one was trying to rob a merchant openly on the main street while the other was inly-threatening an underage girl to sleep with him.

    Without any substantial effort, all those ouws without any cultivation base were mercilessly beaten by me.

    I made sure that more than half the bones in their bodies were cracked-broken so that in the future they dare not think aboutmitting such a crime again lest I would directly kill them.

    By now, almost all the vigers recognised my strength and regarded me as a reliable police officer, and all the usual activities in the vige returned to their normal routine.

    Wearing a red floral shirt and suiting blue pants, I walked out of my house.

    -All the people in the cultivation sect disdained and mocked me thinking- I was too immersed to part with the mortal way of life that I can''t even dress properly.

    ording to them, there''s no need to wear such stylish and colourful clothes as it will just distract your mind, just wear simple-looking in and loose clothes.

    But I never cared about their opinions, wear what you like, and don''t give a damn about other''s'' opinions.

    "I''m out of my head,

    Out of my mind, oh, I

    If you let me, I''ll be.

    Out of my dress,

    And into your arms tonight.

    Yeah, I am lost without it.

    Feels like. I''m always waitin,

    I need you,

    Come get me!

    Out of my head,

    And Into your arms tonight,

    Tonighhhhtt."

    -As I was humming one of my favourite songs, I heard a girlish voice asking for help.

    "Hmmm? Someone screaming for help?"

    "Seems those ouws still haven''t learned their lessons."

    As I reached the ce of the incident, three fat men had surrounded a young- delicate girl.

    They seemed to be trying to drag her somewhere but she was resisting with all her might. As a result, some pieces from her shabby cloth were already torn from the corners.

    "Hey, what are you guys doing?"

    -Hearing me speak so domineeringly, all three of them paused their action and looked toward me.

    Their eyes quickly changed from being expressionless to panicked as they realized my identity.

    "Why? Aren''t you aware a new guardian has decided to live in the vige?"

    "Molesting a girl in broad-daylight? Seems, I need to make sure all the bones in your bodies are broken."

    -That was the golden rule I had adopted, for first-time offenders with simpler crimes- beat them up and make them bed-ridden for a month or so.

    For a second-time offender, or someone who had done a big crime- no need to beat around the bush, just kill them directly.

    Hearing my serious tone, all three guys got scared.

    Without wasting any second, all of them knelt on the ground.

    "My Lord, you are mistaken. We didn''tmit any crime", said the one who was the fattest.

    "Yes My Lord, this girl had taken a huge amount of debt from us. It is already 9 days past the due date and she still hasn''t paid back the cash."

    "ording to the agreement signed between us, in case she fails to make the payment and has no capital to pay back, we are entitled to sell her in the ve market to recover the amount."

    -The second person who was kneeling on the ground too quickly opened her mouth to add in.

    ''Oh, the situation seems really different.''

    I looked at the girl lying on the ground.

    She heard our discussion but didn''t refute their ims and only kept her head down in embarrassment.

    ''Judging from her reaction, it seems these three are speaking the truth.''

    "How much money did she borrow?"

    "My lord, W-What?"

    -The fattest person couldn''t decipher my words clearly so I spoke again putting some pressure on my voice.

    "I asked."

    "How much money did she borrow from you guys?"

    This time, finally understanding my words, the fattest person quickly replied.

    "She borrowed 9 gold coins from us!"

    ''Oh 9 gold coins? This should be the normal monthly ie of a well-abled farmer in this world.''

    "Are you sure, you guys are not lying?

    -Hearing my stern voice all three lying on the ground had their shoulders shuddered.

    "No, how can we even dare to lie to a noble person like you", they spoke meekly, still keeping their head down and kneeling on their knees, showing their utmost respect.

    ''Hmmm, Currently I have 12 gold coins with me.''

    ''Should I pay this girl''s debt or not?''

    -As I pondered over whether I should help that weak girl or not, I decided to take a final nce at her.

    As I moved my gaze to the weak girl, I noticed at some point she too lifted her head and was looking at me.

    She knew that her fate to be sold as a ve somewhere was already sealed.

    But this boy interferes in her business..

    Will he save her?

    She was lost in her thoughts, she dared not ask for help because she had nothing to pay back to her helper, only a big-debt.

    Her eyes which were anticipating, started losing its shine as she realized I may not help her.

    ''Judging from her demeanor, she is a strong girl who will always pay back the favour.that''s why she is not asking for help. She knows since she borrowed, she must pay the equivalent price.''

    -I gave a deep sigh~

    "Fine, I will redeem her."

    "You said 9 gold coins, right?"

    -Without giving any room for discussion, I took out gold coins from my pocket and threw it at those three people.

    Those three at first, couldn''t figure out what was going on, but when they heard the sound of gold coins falling on the ground, they woke up to the reality and hurriedly started collecting the gold coins.

    "Thank you!"

    "Thank you, Sir."

    -one by one all three of them expressed their satisfaction.

    "With this her debt is settled, right?"

    "Yes", replied the fattest one which seemed to be the leader.

    Just as they were about to walk away,

    "Wait, Aren''t you forgetting something?"

    There was confusion on their face.

    "Since her debt is paid by me, there must be a legal proof of the transaction, right?"

    "Oh yes, yes!"

    "Look how clumsy we are! Don''t be angry noble Sir,

    When we go back, we will issue a new document after stamping it with our seal that this girl has paid all her debts."

    I nodded at them.

    After getting the coins, those three went their own way.

    I started walking up to the girl which was still lying on the ground.

    "Hey, What''s your name?"

    "Saharika", she replied in a very meek and feeble tone.

    "W-Why?"

    "Why did you save me?"

    "I have nothing to pay you back."

    -Even though her clothes were ragged with a somewhat malnourished body, she still had her rationality.

    "Yes, you are right!"

    "Nothing is free in this world."

    -By now, I was kneeling on the ground with only a few meters between us.

    Her shoulders trembled as she thought that maybe I too would do something bad to her.

    "Chill, don''t overthink."

    "I will be direct."

    "Those three creditors said your mother died and now you don''t have any other family members or even a house left with you."

    "Like you, I am also alone."

    "I too, don''t have anyone to rely upon."

    -My voice got a bit soft as I spoke, sessfully catching her attention.

    Yes, that''s what I nned to do, first, get closer, talk about something with amon interest and lower the girl''s guard. Then put your condition decisively after giving suitable justifications. You should present your case as if the other party wants you and not the other way around.

    "If you think that I redeemed you to make you my ve or some maid to sleep then you must be delusional."

    "Just look at yourself, with such a skinny body and childish figureEven if it''s to satiate my lust, Why should I sleep with such a girl when I have enough money to sleep with a damn gorgeous woman!"

    Hearing my words, she unintentionally looked down at her t chest and breasts which had lost almost all fat due to not eating properly. She felt ashamed.

    My trick to get closer to her was almost done, her psychological shock was too great to handle when she understood that she was not worth even satisfying my lust.

    "I have been living alone for quite some time now, on this road I want someone to apany me."

    "Since you too have no ce to go,e with me?"

    "Build a beautiful home with me?"

    "Huh"

    ".."

    -Saharika was taken aback by the sudden request and couldn''t open her mouth out of shock.

    "What are you saying?"

    "But won''t that be equal to bing husband and wi-wife?"

    -With stuttering words, shepleted her sentence.

    "Yeah, that''s what I meant."

    "I am asking you to be my wife if that''s okay?"

    Her eyes were rounded, it was so fun to watch.

    To be honest, since the time I came into this world, I felt my world-viewpletely changed. Almost all the females I saw seemed to look like those fairies and Goddesses you read in stories. I was pretty sure once this girl is well-fed and looked after, she will recover her glow.

    "Sody, will you give me the chance?"

    -To put more impact, I held her left hand with my right hand.

    Saharika''a heartbeat suddenly escted.

    As a smart girl, she had already thought of countless possibilities- being raped, forced to be a sex-ve, forced into some hardbour etc but clearly, this possibility in front of her was something she never expected.

    "I-I."

    "It''s too sudden."

    Seeing her still hesitating, I decided it was time.

    Since she did not refuse my touch when I held her hands, it meant she didn''t have that much opinion.

    My dad used to say that girls are often shy and rarely take the initiative. Therefore, as a boy, when you see a girl hesitating, just take the initiative yourself. Her not expressing anything already means a green signal for you.

    With my other left hand, I held her waist while my right hand went under her knees as I lifted her in a Princess-pickup pose.

    "Kyaaaahhhhhh"

    -Saharika, who was startled by the sudden action, quickly held my back with her slender fingers tightly so as not to fall.

 Chapter 6: Marriage in 2 days?

    Chapter 6: Marriage in 2 days?

    I took Saharika home.

    Even if she was reluctant, under my strong grasp she didn''t dare break free.

    "Okay, we are here."

    -I gently ced her feet on the ground.

    "Wow, such a big and spacious house."

    "Perhaps, Are you some hidden- big shot?"

    -She asked in amusement.

    "Yeah, your future husband is very awesome."

    -I replied with a smug face.

    At the mention of future husband, her face once again reddened.

    "Okay, let''s enter inside."

    As I walked inside, after some hesitation, she too followed in.

    Saharika really deserved to be a hidden gem.

    Just after entering the house, she on her own, started doing various tasks like watering the outdoor nts, cleaning here and there.

    By nightfall, the house was much cleaner.

    ''She really knows her job'', I appreciated her.

    .....

    The next morning as I was rxing on a chair, she called me.

    "Sir, I need some money?"

    I had question marks on my face,

    "How much do you want?"

    -but I still decided to y along!

    "Just one gold coin! With it I should be able to buy enough vegetables to cook meals", she answered sillily.

    I looked at her from head to toe as I reevaluated her.

    "Didn''t I say that maids from the vige lord mansion will provide us with tiffins?"

    "No, how can wepletely rely on it."

    "I suggest we should discontinue the tiffins they are providing us", she spoke decisively.

    "Oh, Why do you think so?"

    -even though I knew the reason, I wanted to hear it from her mouth.

    "By sending us meals, they are trying to make us rely on them. It''s a sort of dependence. Think about it, you must be strong in the vige. Everyone in this world wants to rely on someone strong so they send various favours. The vige lord is also doing the same. He is unconditionally providing free food so that he can ask you for a favour in the near-future and you will feel that you owe him and will be forced to help. Moreover, that person does not have a good reputation."

    Hearing her detailed analysis, I pped.

    I already knew that this vige lord was a little shrewd guy. My guess was that after a month or so he will ask me to help expand the vige area or do some shady things. Saharika''s words further affirmed my thoughts.

    "Okay, we will do as you say."

    "When the maid from the vige lord''s mansiones, you can send her off."

    Being understood, a smile bloomed on Saharika''s face as she quickly nodded.

    ''As expected, the girl chosen by me isn''t badjust need some polishing and she can definitely shine.''

    "Okay, now let''s go."

    I stood up and without giving her any second to react, took her arm as I dragged her out.

    "Where are we going?"

    "Didn''t you say you need to buy vegetables?"

    "That''s why we are going to the main market. Also, I need to buy you some clothes."

    "It''s okay, I can wash and wear the same dress again."

    -Saharika was reluctant to make me spend money.

    With my right hand I pped her buttocks.

    "Aww", she looked at me aggrievedly.

    "Be obedient!"

    "If I say I will buy you new clothes then there''s no bargaining in it."

    "A wife should happily ept what her husband buys for her."

    -Hearing my words, she gave a sigh and let me drag her out.

    Even though she was half-protesting, there was a shallow smile on her slender lips.

    ''Wow, will I really marry him? He is too domineering.''

    ''He seems to have a strong ability to judge people and won''t let easily someone get close to him but if someone gets closer he will definitely take best care of her'', impressed by Shenshah''s attitude, Saharika had already started overthinking various things.

    Saharika could only watch as the bustling shopping street arrived before her eyes.

    Soon she realized what Shenshah had nned for her~

    "No I don''t want to buy it, this dress is so costly!"

    "No, I don''t want to buy this makeup kit."

    "No, we don''t need to buy such costly meat."

    ...Even though Saharika kept denying, with my insistence, she could only keep holding the shopping bags in her hand.

    Clothes, Ornaments, food, decorations, we almost visited every prominent store on the street.

    "If we keep buying like this, we will run out of money", Saharika spoke with a worried face.

    "It''s okay, money, we can earn again!"

    "But Saharika''s youthcan ite back?"

    -With my provoking words, Saharika was dumbfounded.

    She kept her head down as I kept pulling her buying all sorts of things.

    Since I had the money, what''s the point of it if we are still living like those poor vigers?

    Unknown to Shenshah, butterflies were fluttering in Saharika''s chest.

    Since childhood, she had seen countless beautiful girls being pursued by those rich boys. She too was a normal girl, feeling envious was a normal thing.

    Every girl dreams to live the life of a Cindre.

    Feeling the warmth from Shenshah''s strong hands which were pulling her so decisively, her cheeks were filled with a cloud of redness.

    I, who could perceive the little changes in her face did not dare speak anything.

    I knew I was in full control.

    The act of - Saving the beauty in need was already sessfully done and by giving her a ce to live in, she was already feeling secure with the warmness being provided by me.

    I was pretty sure that if tonight, I forced her in the same bedeven though she will try to refuse.in the end, she will ept it, that was how confident of my strategy.

    Just like as Shenshah predicted, Saharika was thinking the same thing~

    ''What a good guy he is!''

    ''First, he saved me then he gave me a nice ce to live in.''

    ''Now he is buying me so many things.''

    ''I know he said that he wants to marry me, but with such a treatment and gentleness he is showing, I am already feeling so happy!''

    ''If.tonight.''

    ''If tonighthe asks me to sleep together.''

    ''Should I agree?''

    ''Damn, Saharikashame on yourself for thinking bad things''

    -Seeing her stomping her feet out of the blue, I couldn''t help butugh out aloud.

    "What happened? Why are you keeping your head down and smiling foolishly... also, stomping your feet?

    Feeling like a cat caught stealing, her face flushed.

    "I..I"

    "I was thinking about what I should cook today."

    "Yeah! That''s right! That was what I thinking", with a stuttering tone, Saharika finallypleted her sentence.

    "Haha", seeing her crying face I decided not to tease her anymore.

    She has already agreed to live with me.

    Can she escape now?

    .....

    Just like that it was near 11''o clock by the time we came back.

    Both of our faces were exhausted, our hands literally full with bags of all sorts~

    Even though I had a good physiquepared to normal people, I had to admit -women who are shopping arepletely different.

    It was only in the beginning that Saharika felt embarrassed.

    When she realized I won''t listen and will buy her everything, she too got in the mood and dexterously, with careful eyes checked everything with the slightest of details.

    At one point, I even wondered if she was the same girl who was crying in the beginning.

    After eating the dinner prepared by her, it was time to go to bed~

    "Okay, now go to sleep to your room."

    -Seeing me about to go to my room, there was some confusion on Saharika''s face.

    She thought that tonight I will ask her to sleep together, she was already mentally prepared but he asked her to sleep alone?

    I turned back and saw her wrinkled face.

    I knew what the situation was~

    "Come on, you want to sleep without getting married?"

    "In two days, I will marry you! At that time, we will sleep together, okay? Now go to your room!"

    -Seeing that I was aware of her thoughts, Saharika''s face was so red that she felt like she would die out of shame.

    "Who wants to sleep with youuu!"

    -Screaming loudly, covering her face with her slender fingers, Saharika ran to her room and tightly shut the door.

    Seeing her disappear, my lips slowly parted,

    "Oh dear, it''s not like I am not tempted."

    "It''s just that your body needs some nourishment."

    "In two- three days, after eating some good meat and fruits, and with enough nutrition, your body should ripe properly."

    -I was not a saint.

    My biggest principle was not being a hypocrite. I had already read countless shit where the protagonist is full of lust and keeps saying he will do this and that but when he transmigrates, he is the same. The same beta, dense, who shies away just from a single smile from the girl. I was so annoyed by such characters that don''t even hold hands after hundreds of chapters for the sake of so-called plot/ character development. My dream was already clear in my mind- I will marry lots of girls and live happily with a big family.

    How can Iplete such a dream if I act like those guys I read in novels?

    "Only then will it be worth to sleep with you, my dear Saharika, hahaha!"

 Chapter 7: The first night with wife!…System Activates?

    Chapter 7: The first night with wife!��System Activates?

    Before anyone knew it, 2 days had already passed.

    By now, almost everyone in the vige knew that Shenshah was getting married.

    It was bound to happen as he was the lone cultivator in the big mortal vige.

    People die for gossip~

    And with him taking Saharika out every day.the rumours intensified.

    Some say-The immortal took fancy to a pitiful girl.

    While Others said- The immortal is going to marry all the girls in the vige, regardless of rumours, themon girls were the ones who were envious the most.

    Seeing that a poor girl with average looks can marry a strong man, their eyes shone with greed. All of them thought they too were in no way inferior to that Saharika.

    Many already started thinking about how to seduce Shenshah.

    "Are you ready?"

    -I looked at the girl who was wearing the formal red wedding dress, standing just next to me.

    "Yes", in a sweet voice she hummed.

    "Okay, now both the parties are here, we shall begin the marriage ceremony.

    -the priest took everyone''s attention.

    Since both me and Saharika had no one, the vige lord along with his family members and some vigers I had gotten used to in the past few days were the only formal party present.

    I sent my wedding invitation to my sect''s Sect master as well as Xenia and Quanzhi plus some other disciples but no one came.

    I won''t lie, I did have some expectations. I spent a couple of years there, in that time I did make some friends. Even if no one came I still expected a reply from Xenia and Quanzhi as I always had a vague feeling that both of them developed a crush on me when we did sect missions together. Those two always used to find me to discuss various things but s~

    Nevertheless, the reality is a bit harsh~

    It was within my calctions

    How could those talented people who are sure to reach a high cultivation base in the future even care about a small cultivator like me?

    To them and the sect master, I was just like an ant who was forcefully living a life not destined for me. Perhaps, finding it amusing that I was still trying hard to go against my fate, they just talked to me to spend their boredom.

    "Okay, both bride and groom pay attention!"

    "Do you take this gentleman to be yourwful husband and will follow him in life and death?"

    -The priest in charge of the wedding caught everyone''s attention.

    "Yes", affirmed Saharika.

    Now it was my turn, the priest looked at me.

    "Do you take this young maiden to be yourwful wife and give her the opportunity to follow you in life and death?"

    "Yes", I replied without any hesitation.

    Seeing my serious face, a blush quickly appeared on Saharika''s cheeks.

    Thankfully, she had a veil covering her face otherwise, seeing such a cute and delicate expression countless men present won''t be able to sleep at night.

    "Okay, now I pronounce you husband and wife!"

    "You may lift the veil and kiss the bride~"

    Under the gaze of the crowd, I lifted her veil.

    Whether it was the auspiciousness of the day or her face which had regained its beauty after eating properly the past few days, I found her more beautiful than ever.

    I wondered if it''s the natural charm every girl who bes a wife develops?

    "Hey?"

    -Seeing me spell-bound, Saharika shook my hands to bring me back to reality.

    There was a confident smile on her face upon seeing my dazzled face.

    Saharika, who had been trying her best to dress up since the morning, was fully satisfied.

    Even if she wanted to keep seeing Shenshah''s shocked face, the crowd was still waiting for the kiss.

    "Ohh", I chuckled, rubbing my right hand on the back of my head to hide my embarrassment.

    "Dear, you are looking way too hot today~"

    "Tonight, you can''t escape from me!"

    -Without making the crowd wait further, with my right hand I firmly held the back of her head while with the other I pulled her waist to collide against my chest.

    Due to the sudden pull her eyes widened, but before she could scream, her lips ovepped mine.

    "Mnnmnnnnn"

    Nynnnnnn~

    Her defenceless mouth showed no resistance, no it''s better to say it knew no resistance~

    My tongue pried open her loosely held teeth.

    She thought it would be a simple peck, under the watchful eyes of the crowd, feeling such an intense kiss from Shenshah, her little mind short-circuited.

    Out of shame, she tried to break free but she was tightly held by me.

    Slowly, my tongue finally found hers hidden deep inside.

    I caressed it a little, savouring the sweet mint-like taste it offered before finally breaking free.

    "So how''s it, my wifey?"

    -With a sly smile I finally ended our first kiss.

    Huhhhh~

    With blurry eyes, and a panting voice Saharika could no longer make out what Shenshah was saying.

    The stimulus was already high for a virgin girl, she could only look at him nkly.

    "Okay, now the kiss is done! Let''s leave the husband and wife to spend their day together", seeing the ambiguous mood, the priest who was used to such situations came to the rescue.

    The crowd which looked at the affectionate newlywed sharing such a lewd kiss could only helplessly eat dog-food.

    Soon everyone left, leaving only Shenshah and Saharika alone in their house.

    The night was beautiful, the couple''s hearts were fluttering.

    I, who had watched lots of porn knew someone had to lead.

    Since Saharika was ready to learn, I went all out.

    Her red dress was sent flying as I embraced her naked body which was a piece of art.

    She didn''t ask for any promises, I didn''t tell her useless nonsense.

    Since the heart of the two was already tied, everything will be figured out eventually.

    When a woman''s feelings are overflowing it is said that is the time when they are the softest.

    The tenderness of the night and the initiative of Saharika was more than enough for Shenshah''s first experience.

    Just when we ended ourst round of passionate love-making and I was about to fall into the dreand of bliss, I heard a weird sound~

    [Ding! Congrattions, adequate system energy recovered.]

    [Conditions met: Married first wife sessfully.]

 Chapter 8: Every dog has its day.

    Chapter 8: Every dog has its day.

    System? I was taken aback.

    It was 3 am but all the drowsiness and tiredness from the merry love-making instantly disappeared upon hearing this mysterious sound.

    Is my cheat finally arriving?

    Feeling excited, I called the system in my mind.

    ''Hello! system, introduce yourself and why the heck you showed up only now?''

    [Greetings host, as told before.. The name of the system is Create Family and Earn Rewards System, the reason for inactiveness before was theck of a special kind of energy. When the system first bound the host, it found that the host''s life was in danger and as a result, all the reserve energy was used for a safending.. This energy is only avable when the host has sex with his wife for the first time.]

    "Oh I see, so what''s your function? How do I earn rewards?"

    -I was getting more and more excited.

    In countless online novels, I have seen- System is the ultimate cheat, with its help even a waste can soar to skies~

    [As the name suggests. All the host needs to do is focus on expanding his family. The more talented the wife will be, the more outstanding the offspring will be. Rewards will be issued when the host sessfully sleeps with a new wife and depending on the potential of the new child born.]

    Even though it was my first time, I basically got the gist of it.

    ''System, is there any newbie/ beginner gift box for me?''

    -I asked shamelessly.

    But I didn''t receive any reply from the system.

    I repeatedly called out but it was of no use.

    ''Wait, I did have sex with Saharika, my first wife, where is the reward, system?''

    Finally, I heard the notification.

    [Calcting reward for sessfully sleeping with the first wife.]

    [Reward issued- 30 years of cultivation experience.

    Please note that since Saharika is the first wife, the reward is with a little bonus, subsequent rewards will depend on the wife''s talent.]

    I, who was lying on the bed along with Saharika, felt arge amount of energy suddenly entering my body.

    "Fuck, I need to go to another room."

    -Feeling the breakthrough, I quickly ran to an empty room.

    As I sat cross-legged meditating, I could feel my muscles cracking as the bottleneck that always restricted me started losing up.

    "Damm, even if I have a weak talent, with 30 years of cultivation experience, I don''t believe I can''t break through!"

    Feeling my agitation, my aura started climbing.

    Qi-Gathering third stage, Fourth stage mid, Fourh stage-peak, early Fifth stage.

    My aura finally stopped at thete fifth stage of Qi-gathering.

    Feeling a sess, there was a big smile on my face.

    I slowly took a deep breath.

    "Hmmm, I knew my talent and physique were bad but I never knew it was so bad."

    "Back in the sect, those arrogant boys can build a foundation within 3 years and I only climbed 2 subs-stages of Qi-gathering?"

    "But it doesn''t matter as long as I have a chance I will make the most of it."

    Feeling the increase in the realm, I punched the wall.

    The wall instantly broke down.

    "As expected the feeling of being strong is intoxicating."

    Just as I was immersed in narcissistic thoughts, the door of the room was pushed wide-open.

    With a worried face, Saharika rushed inside.

    Seeing me all-right she sighed with relief~

    "Just now I heard such arge sound and woke upbut."

    "But you were not by my side, I thought some thieves came and something might have happened."

    -Saharika''s chest was heaving up and down, the sweat on her forehead was proof of how worried she was!

    She had just turned from a girl to a woman, Shenshah was now her husband. She had no one except him, If something happened to himshe did not know what she would do~

    Seeing her face filled with worries and anxiety I couldn''t help but feel sweet in my heart.

    ''Who said that only those celestial and disaster level beauties with so-called extremely ridiculous cultivation talents are the best girls to marry.''

    ''Just look at her, even ordinary girls, if cherished properly, are in no way inferior to them.''

    ''Can those arrogant beauties be so obedient? Can they be so virtuous?I highly doubt it.''

    To ease her emotions, I quickly embraced her tightly into my arms.

    "Fool, don''t think about useless things."

    "I am already the strongest in the vige, Who dares make trouble at my house."

    -Feeling the reassuring words, her tightened eyebrows finally rxed.

    "I have to say..Saharika, you are really my lucky charm."

    "Just after sleeping with you, I felt enlightened and broke through."

    Saharika finally calmed down after knowing therge sound was because of Shensha''s breakthrough.

    Looking at my sly eyes, she recalled the wildness on the bed and couldn''t help but keep her head down in embarrassment.

    "You bad guy, didn''t we do it so many times?"

    "Are you still not satisfied?"

    -Her tone was half aggrieved and half full of coquettishness.

    The more I looked at her, the more my heart beated loud~

    "My dear, didn''t you hear the saying- a couple always cherishes their first night."

    "It''s not even 4 am yet, let''s make this the most memorable night of your life."

    -Despite her slight protest, I instantly carried her in a Princess-hug towards our bedroom.

    Saharika, who knew she can''t escape, to hide her flushed face could only bury her little head in his chest.

    If one could look closely, her lips were slightly arched up, her mind full of expectations.

 Chapter 9: An unexpected visitor?

    Chapter 9: An unexpected visitor?

    Just like that four months passed in a blink of an eye.

    Everyday was the same routine, your usual evening vige patrol and at night, Shenshah having a merry life with Saharika.

    By now, Saharika had matured a lot, she had fully epted him in both her mind and soul.

    In her world, he is her everything~

    Aware of the fact that just like her, Shenshah too was alone in this world, she wanted to give him a child so as to keep their bloodline alive in case something bad happens.

    Moreover, she knew that as a cultivator, unlike her..Shenshah would live for much longer and was destined to have many wives.

    He even mentioned this thing when they first married.

    So it was selfish of her, she knew that after some years wrinkles will start appearing on her face and eventually, she will lose the little charm she has.

    Therefore, she wanted to have his first child.

    As the mother of his first child, even if Shenshah marries a lot of womenter, her position will be unshakable.

    Yes, even if she knew that she would get old someday, she wanted Shenshah to always think about her, his first wife in the heart, and not to forget having a child will exponentially increase the intimacy between the couple.

    And, she didn''t have to wait long.

    By the start of the fifth month, she finally had good news.

    Saharika was sitting on the bed when she suddenly felt a little nauseous. She had already missed herst period. There was also an increase in the frequency of going to the bathroom while she was feeling more and more lethargic with every passing day.

    At this point she was damn sure, all her signs pointed that she was pregnant.

    Full of excitement, she rushed to where Shenshah was~

    ....

    In the courtyard, I was admiring the leaves that were slowly falling from the maple tree..

    "Just like the leaves that fall on the ground, Life starts all over again when it gets crisp in the fall."

    I remembered that once I read that in old times, autumn was called the season of fall; the second spring for lovers.

    I finally realized the reason..

    "The leaves are all falling, and they''re falling like they are in love with the ground."

    -I remembered, just like these leaves, how in the past few months I had been falling more and more in love with Saharika

    The cycle of hot summers and chilly winters before the fall ispared to the ups and downs each couple has to go through.

    But after going through it, their bond only bes stronger.

    Just as my mind was thinking about many things, I saw Saharika running towards me.

    Before I could even open my mouth, she jumped in my arms.

    "Husband!"

    "Husband"

    She kept rubbing her face all over my chest, her face was full of excitement without a doubt~

    "Hey, what happened?"

    -I gently embraced her.

    With bright eyes, she looked at me.

    She took a deep breath,

    "I am pregnant!"

    My breathing fastened, to make sure I was not dreaming, I put my hands on her little bulging stomach.

    I could feel it, with my cultivation base, I could vaguely feel a faint heartbeat, a new life growing up in her mother''s womb.

    "My wife, you are really my lucky charm!"

    Haha~

    -I lifted her body and swung her in circles.

    "Hahahaha, put me down!"

    "The child may get hurt."

    -Saharika, who was enjoying Shenshah''s affection, spoke teasingly.

    With her thoughts, I realized that she was now a mother.

    Delicately, I put her down.

    Saharika, just like a loving mother, stroked her belly gently.

    The love in her eyes was overflowing~

    "The child hasn''t even been born yet and you are already giving him more attention than me?"

    -I spoke aggrievedly.

    Seeing my sad face, Saharika felt a little guilty.

    She got on her tip-toes and started showering wet kisses on my face:

    "No, I was just joking, my husband is my everything."

    "This child is just proof of our strong bond."

    -She spoke with her coquettish eyes.

    "But why did you say him? Are you sure it will be a boy?"

    "What if it''s a girl?"

    -Saharika seemed to be weighing pros and cons.

    "It doesn''t matter whether it''s a boy or girl."

    "Both are equal in my eyes."

    "But I personally prefer a girl."

    -I pinched her nose lovingly.

    "Why?"

    -Saharika seemed to like having such a sweet conversation.

    "Wellif it''s a girl I am pretty sure that she will be beautiful and obedient just like her mom."

    "She will never cause me any trouble", I chuckled.

    Feeling my hot gaze and unscrupulous hands, Saharika''s cheeks were already flushed red.

    I gently bit her earlobes as I slowly whispered,

    "It is said that generally, only the first few months are safe for a pregnant woman to have sex."

    "When I sensed the womb earlier, the child already seemed one month old, which leaves us only few months to enjoy ourselves, let''s make the most of it my dear."

    "Hmm!"

    -Even though she was shy, Saharika never refused their happy time together.

    She knew Shenshah was right. Later, her belly will be big and it will be very difficult to have sex. Also, not to forget when the child is born, she will have less time to spend with Shenshsh.

    Actually, I was more eager than Saharika for the child to be born early.

    ''Thest time the system gave such a good reward. When the child is born, I should get a reward again.''

    ''I wonder how many years of cultivation experience can I get when this child is born?''

    -Just as I was about to lift Saharika to take her to our bedroom, the door of our house knocked.

    "Aah, who is disturbing us at such a time?"

    -There was some anger on my face.

    "It''s okay husband, you see who is there, I will wait for you in our room."

    -With a blushing expression, she ran away not wanting others to see such a cute side of hers.

    "Hmm, I can''t help it."

    "Let''s see who is there."

    When I opened the door, I was taken aback.

    The visitor was someonepletely unexpected~

    "Quanzhi?"

 Chapter 10: What’s wrong with Xenia?

    Chapter 10: What��s wrong with Xenia?

    Even though months have passed since Ist saw her, she still had the same cute smile, her figure had matured somewhat than before.

    "Shenshah, won''t you invite me in?"

    -Quanzhi spoke softly, there was a little tension on her face.

    "Why are you so nervous?"

    "Did you forget that when I was in the sect, you and Xenia used toe to my cave to spend your free time. Without yourpany, I might have died of boredom. You were always very energetic, chirping here and there. So what''s with you now?"

    -It was a surprise to see Quanzhi since the other party had a great rtionship with me, it would be rude to keep her waiting.

    I closed the door as I led her to the courtyard.

    As we both were seated, Quanzhi quickly opened her mouth,

    "I don''t have much time."

    "You know how rude of you it was to suddenly leave the sect when we were out on the mission."

    "After inquiring a lot, I finally managed to find out your whereabouts."

    "Xenia kept saying that you were angry with us, therefore didn''t meet or send us any letters."

    As soon as she mentioned Xenia, her tone became heavy as her expression became saddened.

    Seeing her sudden change, I realized that Xenia was indeed not with her. Those two always used to go out together.

    I already had a bad premonition in my heart~

    ''Did something happen to Xenia?''

    "Is there something wrong with Xenia?"

    -With a slight hesitation, I asked the thought in my mind.

    Quanzhi took a heavy breath.

    "She.."

    "Shenshah, did you remember thest time we invited you to hunt down the foundation-level demonic beast who was spreading menace in the nearby vige?"

    I nodded, the details of that day were still vivid in my mind.

    "We along with senior brother Leon and his friends did manage to ambush that beast but.."

    She gave a deep sigh~

    "The moment we thought that we were sessful, the demonic beast suddenly broke free from its restraints."

    "His aura became stronger.it was at that point we realized- it was deliberately hiding its strength to lure all of us at one ce."

    "Its strength had already entered the early stage of transformation."

    "Being caught off guard by its offensive, three members of our team directly lost their lives. We were forced into a life-death battle. Luckily, senior members of our team carried many artifacts and enchantments with them."

    "After a gruesome battle, we were finally able to kill that demonic beast but the cost was too heavy. Of the remaining 10 members from our team, 4 more lost their lives as 3 were badly injured."

    After speaking, she took a big pause, her head was down.

    She remembered the reason Shenshah refused them earlier was with their current realm, this sect mission was too dangerous but at that time they were too overconfident and didn''t take his words seriously.

    After hearing what happened, I already had a guess regarding Xenia.

    ''Damn, I already warned them that it was dangerous outside, it''s better to cultivate in the sect with a peace of mind instead of running here and there.''

    ''But nahh, they had to be righteous saying- It''s our duty to save the vigers. Now see what happened.''

    ''If Xenia had died then Quanzhi would have definitely cried at the mere mention of her name, since she only felt saddenedit means that Xenia is only badly injured.''

    -I recollected all the information once again.

    "Are her injuries heavy?"

    -I asked with concern.

    "Her meridians were badly damaged..because she was standing in the front, her body was in a mess."

    "Even though after rushing to the sect, we used various medicine, the damage was already done."

    "Her cultivation base dropped to the seventh stage of Qi-refining and ording to the elder, she has no hope to build a foundation in future."

    "I see."

    -Xenia and Quanzhi were the only ones who used to talk to me in the sect. I felt bad about Xenia''s current state. With her talent, entering the foundation realm before 22 years of age was almost a sure thing. Her future potential was enough to make her ascend to the position of a core disciple in no time but all her dreams were shattered in an instant.

    I could feel, she must be in a depression right now~

    Just as we were discussing, Saharika came from inside the house.

    She was waiting for Shenshah on their bed but twenty minutes had passed and there was no sign of him.

    So she came out to see what was going on.

    "Hmmm"

    "Shenshah, who is she?"

    Quanzhi, who saw this girling out from inside, had question marks.

    "Quanzhi, let me introduce you two."

    "She is my wife, Saharika."

    "Saharika, she is Quanzhi, my sister from the sect."

    "Oh!"

    "I see so she is Quanzhi."

    Saharika was taken aback, she had to admit the beauty of the other party was really eye-catching.

    ''Are all female cultivators so beautiful?''

    -At first, she thought that a vixen hade to steal her husband but when Shensha mentioned her background, the anxiety in her heart finally calmed down.

    "Nice to meet you sister Quanzhi."

    "Husband used to tell me about his time in the sect. Had you and Xenia not been with him, he would have been bored to death."

    "Thanks for taking care of my husband."

    -She bowed politely.

    At this point, Saharika was no longer a weak and petite girl.

    With months of proper nutrition and meticulous care under Shensha, her body had a unique vibe and charm exclusive to a married woman.

    "YoYouuu"

    "You are married now?"

    There was a shock in Quanzhi''s eyes.

    "Not only are we married, but we are also already expecting our first child."

    -Saharika spoke proudly.

    In order to confirm her words, she subconsciously stroked her slightly bulging belly.

    The love and tenderness in her eyes were overflowing~

    Quanzhi felt the girl in front of her was showing off but she couldn''t speak anything.

    In the sect, countless people used to look at her and Xenia with hot and fierce eyes. All of those arrogant boys wanted to sleep with them, but only Shenshah treated them as a friend. He never looked at them wrongly. His ideas and thinking were much more mature than his current age. They used to discuss various topics with him in their free time.

    Unknowingly, they had developed some feelings for him. That''s why his sudden departure made them sad.

    The boy they had a crush on was no longer there

    Had Shenshah known her thoughts, he would haveughed out aloud. It''s not like he was not interested in them. Due to his poor talent, his mind was too upied with the urgency to raise his realm. Once he sessfully enters the foundation stage, girls will flock to him anyway.

    But now Shenshah is married and is already expecting his first child, hearing these words, Quanzhi was thunderstruck~

 Chapter 11: Quanzhi runs away

    Chapter 11: Quanzhi runs away

    "How did it happen so fast?"

    -Quanzhi was no longer able to keep her calm, bewilderedness was written all over her face.

    Seeing her sudden reaction, I was a little taken aback.

    "What happened? Why are you reacting so strongly?"

    -I knew something was amiss.

    "Didn''t you receive my marriage invitation I sent to the sect?"

    This time it was Quanzhi''s turn to be surprised,

    "You sent an invitation?"

    "Yeah! I sent my marriage invitations to you, Xenia and Sect master along with some other guys I used to talk to."

    "But sadly no one came."

    -There was a little sadness in my tone.

    Seeing me aggrieved, Quanzhi hastily shook her hands,

    "No, Noo!"

    "Trust me, I never received your invitation and neither did Xenia. We have such a good rtionship with you. Why would we note to your marriage?"

    -Quanzhi quickly tried to exin everything in one go. She was afraid that her noting to his marriage perhaps was one of reasons they were growing apart.

    Hearing her words, I knew someone did something

    "Since I sent the invitation and it was received at the sect then why did you guys not receive it?"

    -I didn''t speak further, Quanzhi was not dumb, she understood my intentions.

    "Don''t worry, as soon as I go back, I will investigate who was responsible for the disappearance of your marriage invitations."

    -Quanzhi spoke strongly.

    "It''s okay, At Least now the misunderstanding between us is cleared."

    -Quanzhi''s cheeks turned slightly red seeing Shenshah''s bright smile.

    She then looked at Saharika, who was looking at her from the beginning quietly.

    "Since you are my brother''s wife, it would be rude if I didn''t give you anything on our first-meeting."

    From her vibrant-violet-coloured spatial ring, Quanzhi took out some beautiful clothes and presented them in front of Saharika.

    Seeing such beautiful dresses in front of her, she subconsciously looked towards Shenshah.

    Seeing her hesitant gaze, I nodded.

    Getting a green signal from her husband, Saharika politely epted the dresses.

    "Thank you Miss Qunazhi for your presen!"

    Quanzhi had to admit when she saw Saharika looking at her husband to ask for his affirmation before epting her gifts, she felt sour.

    ''No wonder Shenshah likes her. She is so obedient and virtuous.''

    Sighs~

    ''Maybe it''s fate, if I was a little confident and had confessed to Shenshah earlier, could I have been the one in her ce?''

    -Quanzhi could only hide her feelings deep within her heart.

    But after all, she was not perfect~

    When Quanzhi''s eyes fell on Saharika''s hands lightly stroking her slightly-bulged belly, her eyes were a little lost for a second.

    As a sensible woman, this fleeting moment was instantly captured by Saharika.

    Suddenly, Quanzhi''s lips arched up as she realized something.

    "Hmmmph?"

    "Shenshah, your cultivation base increased?"

    -Quanzhi got up from her seat and shouted excitedly.

    "Yeah, I got a sudden enlightenment and broke through."

    "It was pure luck."

    -I replied feeling a little embarrassed by her huge shouting.

    "This is great!"

    Quanzhi''s eyes were gleaming with happiness.

    "Everyone used to mock you saying that you would always be stuck at the third stage of Qi-gathering."

    "Let''s go back to the sect, they will gnash their teeth when they see your aura is almost touching the sixth stage of Qi-gathering."

    "And, not to forget you can also im the sect''s rewards for breaking through."

    -Unable to hide her emotions, she came close to Shenshah and grabbed his hands as if wanting to instantly drag him to the sect.

    "Quanzhi!"

    -Hearing my stern voice, her body shook.

    "Quanzhi, I have already left the sect."

    I repeated my words slowly.

    "I feel happy with my current life."

    "Without any tension to fight for resources, without any fear of failing people''s expectations, without any obligations to perform the sect''s duties, this chill life you spend with your loved ones"

    I looked at Saharika dotingly,

    "I don''t think I can leave this and go back."

    Feeling her husband''s affection for her, Saharika''s heart was full of sweetness~

    Not to lose out, she too looked at him tenderly. Her eyes were full of mist, if Quanzhi was not present she would have jumped in his embrace.

    Hearing my words full of determination & self-realization, and seeing the couple''s boldly showing their love,

    Quanzhi''s hands, which were strongly grasping Shenshah''s hands, lost their strength and fell down.

    She kept her head down, she didn''t know why there were some tears in the corner of her eyes.

    She didn''t want Shenshah or Saharika to see such a face of hers.

    ''Why can''t I control my emotions? Even the sect master told me that Shenshah''s talent is at the bottom. He broke through just by a fluke of luck.''

    ''I am destined to reach heights and will live for thousands of years while with his current realm, he can barely live for 150 years. If I fell for him so badly then I will cry when he grows old and leaves me.''

    ''Even if I have feelings for him, I must bury them deep in my heart. We are not destined to be together.''

    "Yeah, you are right."

    "She is already pregnant."

    -In a shaky voice, full of resentment, Quanzhi still did not dare lift her head.

    "Okay, I just remembered that I have some urgent business. I wille next time."

    -Without waiting for Shensha''s reply, Quanzhi hastily turned around and started walking towards the door.

    Seeing her turbulent emotions, for a second I wanted to stop her but in the end, I didn''t say anything.eventually the door closed as she left without even saying goodbye.

    "That girl has a big crush on youbut."

    -Saharika, who had grasped the situation, sighed before once again turning quiet.

    "Yeah."

    -I agreed with Saharika.

    "But she is too scared to face her heart."

    "Her ambition and emotional feelings."

    ".she is entangled between the two not knowing what to choose, only helplessly moving forward in the end."

    "Let''s go inside our room and do what we were about to do."

    Hearing my words, Saharika blushed.

    Looking at her rosy face, I chuckled.

    "Did you think with her visit you will be safe today?"

    "You have already burned the fire inside so be responsible for it."

    -I tightly held her soft hands as I dragged Saharika to our room.

    What''s the point of marrying such a sincere girl if you don''t enjoy it to your heart''s fullest?

 Chapter 12: The wife wants husband to bring another girl home Asap~

    Chapter 12: The wife wants husband to bring another girl home Asap~

    Saharika had buried her face in Shenshah''s chest and wiggled, like a puppy enjoying its master''s affection.

    My one hand stroked her back, the other stroked her hair.

    She had just gotten up but feeling her husband showering love upon her, she didn''t want to wake up.

    Her body quivered, perhaps it was still sensitive from the previous day''s intense love-making.

    She didn''t want to leave the bed,

    Yet.morning hase~

    "Okay, get up."

    -I patted her buttocks.

    I don''t know if it was the effect of the sunlight pouring through the window, her eyes sparkled like some obsidian jade, only making the moment more alluring.

    "Husband!"

    -With a melodious voice she slowly lifted her dishevelled head which was buried deep in my chest.

    Seeing her act so cute and coquettish, I knew there was something on her mind.

    "Husband, I have thought about it."

    She first pouted, then bit her lips.

    "I know those girls Quanzhi and Xenia have feelings for you. That Quanzhi almost cried yesterday, when I said I was pregnant."

    Saharika took a deliberate pause giving Shenshah time to adapt to the important words she was going to utter.

    "Oh, I know about it."

    "So what''s my wife''s suggestion?"

    -I got up and made her sit on myp.

    "Later you are going to marry other girls anyway, so it''s better to bring back home girls which are good."

    "This Xenia seems like a nice girl."

    "She must be heartbroken and dejected after getting gravely injured."

    "Her cultivation path is almost blocked now."

    "By now, Quanzhi must have told her about your marriage and my pregnancy."

    "Even though she had hidden her emotions deep in her heart, upon knowing that the boy she cherished is now far away, her heart would be further burdened."

    "So."

    -Saharika looked at me mischievously.

    "..So?"

    -I too thought about the same thing.

    But the only thing bothering me was the fact that I had just recently married. Bringing home another girl in such a short span of time, when Saharika recently got pregnant might make her angry.

    Of course, I won''t deny that I was not tempted by the system''s rewards. You know if I do manage to marry a girl with a cultivation base, the rewards must be promising~

    "You still want me to speak?"

    "You can''t hide it!"

    "Don''t you want to bring those Xenia and Quanzhi home?"

    -She looked at me with a jealous tone.

    From Saharika taking such an initiative, I was very well aware of her little thoughts.

    She wanted the position of the main wife~

    Even if there are many women around her husband, she wants to be the one who manages the harem in her husband''s absence. As someone who lost her parents, her husband''s family will be her everything so she didn''t want to see any discord arising among other wives.

    Therefore, only by bing the one whom Shenshah loves the most can she show those arrogant-talented girls their ce. She wanted to keep them in check lest .because of their princess-like attitude, they may make things difficult for her husband.

    The more I looked at her acting so cute, the more I felt that marrying her was perhaps the best decision of my life.

    Who doesn''t want such a wife?

    "Don''t worry if I did manage to bring those two girls home, the position of my most beloved wife is forever yours."

    -Hearing my words, she was satisfied.

    And then she gave me a smile that just seemed so genuinely sweet with just the right touch of shyness that unexpected warmth once again rushed through me.

    She was selfish for her husband''s love and main wife''s position and I was selfish for the system''s reward.

    We both were selfish in our own way~

    The husband and wife pair had a perfect tacit-understanding.

    "Okay now get up, after eating breakfast I will go to the sect to see Xenia and try my luck."

    Just as I got up from the bed, my footsteps staggered as I almost fell.

    It was at this point I heard the system''s prompt.

    [It is detected that the host is living happily with his first wife.]

    [It is to inform the host, due to the partial recovery of the system''s energy, many functions which were locked now are in the process of unlocking.]

    [As long as the host marries the second wife, the system store will open and the main mission will be issued.]

    After giving me the prompt, the system fell silent.

    I tried to call it out but I didn''t get any response.

    ''Hmm, it seems unless I sessfully marry a second wife, the system won''t be responsive.''

    ''Maybe it''s due to theck of that special type of energy told by the system, which is needed for its recovery?''

    I had a vague guess that system''s energy had to do something with me having sex with my newly-married wife for the first time.

    But all of these were guesses after all~

    I didn''t care mucheven if I failed to bring Xenia home, I would marry another normal girl like Saharika anyways.

    With marrying a second wife, things will be clear automatically.

    With the earlier prompt, I was excited thinking about many cheat-like things that might appear in the system store.

    As for the main mission? If it''s favourable then I don''t mind doing it, else ignore it directly..

 Chapter 13: ##To answer all your questions so you can keep reading or drop this book!!

    Chapter 13: ##To answer all your questions so you can keep reading or drop this book!!

    Okay now that we havee a little far ahead into this story, from reading many reader''sments and their support, I am delighted that the majority of you are liking and loving this story.

    Now this chapter is for the minority of those and others who have many doubts and still keepsmenting useless stuff like book is bad, this story not good, just drop it and mc is beta and etc etc.

    even though I deleted some of those and replied to a few I will clear things here so that ppl like them can directly drop this book here instead ofmenting   btater on~

    ###First question, What is this book?

    -this novel belongs to a new type of longevity genre which is yet to be introduced in Webnovel english/global version. Many of this genre books have now started appearing on various mtl websites but mostly are fanfictions at this point. Example of the recent most sessful one- Patriarch is taking concubines again.

    ###Second point- Mc is very cringy, it''s like anime moments, sentences seem childish.

    - To answer it, Mc is gonna end up marrying lots of wives on his crazy journey and whole book will be filled with such moments of bitter-sweet interactions among husband and wives and their family itself, which if you haven''t read some good romance/ harem development book in a while, you will surely find cringy and anime like but then again i never asked anyone for any power stones or support in the first ce as this story was just an idea on my mind which i wanted to share

    ##Third point mc is beta/ too emotional/ coward/ simp.

    -I don''t even want to answer it as this means your understanding of the above words is itself not clear to begin with.

    If you still think so then you couldn''t see the idea behind this story.

    First thing to have in mind is -unlike my other two books this is not a viin book where mc is facing protagonists or children of destinies/son of luck left and right or stealing and capturing all the beautiful girls/heroines, female leads or whatever u call it.

    How can one expect a normal young boy who never had a girlfriend nor any emotional foundation before transmigration to act like a chad, domineering guy lusting after every single girl he see in this new world and directly start nning/manipting to take those new girls home to build his harem and enjoy his lustful life or go on some random Power-levelling up spree or out of blue adventure filled with random luck/opportunities/protagonist hunting etc.

    Nowing back to the raised point by some minority ppl that he is beta-

    I don''t see our mc beta or simp in anyways.

    He is very practical and realistic as when he arrives in this dangerous world, he treads with caution because he does not have any cheat aka system early on.

    Instead of running after hot girls in the sect, he first thinks about his safety and future by trying cultivating which he fails then he responsibly marries Saharika to enjoy his life and to get one step closer to his current goal of marrying more wives and create a big familyter on

    ..and yes, he will get second wife very soon, With Saharika, he has already slept and mc is expecting his first child too, his rtionship with Saharika is rock-solid and interactions between them are very genuine as per my opinion and ording to lots of people''sments and opinions who read andmented, as all can see.

    ##### Fourth point: mc is easily bullied by women, Saharika is the one inmand in rtionship, mc got beaten by his wife/ women, gets easily embarrassed etc.

    -To answer this I will say the same, probably your understanding of the story is very uniquepared to normal people.

    I never wrote about our mc being beaten or abused by any women even after rechecking chs to make sure.

    In the sect, sure, some people including the sect master looked at him without any expectations but isn''t it normal given his poor talent and aptitude? The world is mean after all, if you are good only then you can have your ce otherwise no one wants to spend free resources on anyone if there is no hope for any future return.

    As for the thing about Saharika,

    Mc was the one who invited her to be his wife and she didn''t refuse it in the first ce. She was told by him that he will take lots of wivester on in advance, she had the liberty to protest or leave but she didn''t. Clearly, she agreed to this rtionship. Mc is the one who is the head of the family, his decisions are final.

    She is more like a concubine taking care of him while he enjoys his daily life because a real wife has equal say and authority in her husband''s matters and future nning while she currently has none plus her taking the initiative to persuade Shenshah to take Xenia and Quanzhi into harem shows that she is very well aware that the rtionship between the couple is not equal and she selfishly wants her status to change to a main wife instead of the current concubine type.

    #####Now finally thest thing: the people saying to drop the book!

    -all my books are written for a limited and very specific type of like-minded people only, so people reading other genre might not like it.

    In the end, for them I can only say -its okay you can drop this book here and not try to read further, and look for better alternatives as there''s lots of new books written by many other talented authors here on wn. Hopefully, you will find the one you like. If a lot of ppl not like this book then I will just sadly drop it.

    It not matters much to me~

 Chapter 14: Where This Road Shall Lead Us

    Chapter 14: Where This Road Shall Lead Us

    {Perhaps, I may have loved you in numberless forms, numberless times, in life after life, in age after age forever...Maybe we were, after all, lovers from past life?}

    ----X

    Without wasting any time, I was on my way back to the sect.

    The uphill journey was pretty smooth. Within a couple of hours, I managed to reach my destination.

    I still carried the token of being the sect''s general disciple so getting inside was not much of an issue.

    I don''t know if it was fate or my luck?

    On my way to Xenia''s cave, I met Quanzhi...

    Quanzhi seemed to be in a grumpy mood. She was quick to notice my presence.

    "Shenshah", like a bird rushing to her nest, she ran to me.

    "Shenshah, did you think about what I said?... And ns to once againe back and cultivate in the sect?"

    -Her face was filled with anticipation.

    The thought that her crush will be once again next to her sent various butterflies fluttering in her Stomach.

    I knew she had misunderstood. "Sorry, but I came to visit Xenia."

    "I wanted to talk to her."

    -Hearing my words, her excitement turned to dejection as She realized she was too fast to overthink.

    She felt embarrassed....

    ''What reason does he have toe back?''

    He had already exined to her his future dream of living happily with his family the previous Day!''

    "Did youe from Xenia''s cave?"

    Upon hearing my question, Quanzhi nodded.

    "Yes, aftering back yesterday, I investigated your matter!" -Quanzhi''s voice became heavier.

    "My matter?"

    "Yes, the matter of you sending us your marriage invitations but we not receiving them!"

    "Oh, so Who was the culprit?"

    -I was also a little curious about who was the one who yed tricks in the dark.

    Quanzhi lifted her head,

    There were already some tears flowing down her cheeks but this time she didn''t run away.

    "Shenshah, it was Sect-Master."

    "From the messenger, I got the news that he sessfully delivered your marriage invitations to the Sect-Master."

    Seeing my puzzled face, Quanzhi smiled wryly as if she had expected such a reaction.

    "Then I went to the Sect-Master to inquire further." "Then....."

    "....Then she got angry and scolded me- saying not to have any future contact with you."

    "She said since...Now, Shenshah no longer lives in the sect and nor cultivates, he is not much different from a mortal."

    "And we cultivators must not have any contact with mortals lest we will suffer from heart demons."

    "She said- Shenshah is a failed disciple whose mind is filled with lustful thoughts to marry many girls and start a big family, his head is too preupied with worldly desires. That''s the reason he failed to break through and even suffered a Qi-Deviation."

    "I wanted to refute her but her voice was unquestionable. It was difficult for me to even lift-up my head under her aura. All I could do was listen obediently."

    -Quanzhi spoke aggrievedly.

    "It''s okay, she didn''t have any expectations from me, to begin with."

    "Let me guess you must have gone to Xenia to cry about this thing."

    "Hmm!"

    -She nodded meekly at my remarks.

    Maybe she still hadn''t forgotten what happened at his home the previous day, Quanzhi still found herself getting a cold-feet while meeting Shenshah''s gaze.

    She wanted to avoid him, otherwise, her heart would be turbulent. Thus, she once again decided to escape~

    "Shenshah! You go and talk to Xenia. She will feel better after seeing you."

    -After speaking her words, she started walking away in the other direction.

    ----X

    Inside her cave, Xenia was lying on her bed. She had been very depressedtely, furthermore, Quanzhi came to her in the morning and

    told her that yesterday, she met Shenshah alone.

    She wanted to pout,

    Why didn''t she take her along?.. but then she saw the clutches for her broken legs, lying beside the bed.

    She was afraid to see Shenshah, despite his warnings they went ahead with the task without him..In the end, she had to pay for her righteousness~

    A proud girl who would have been a core disciple in the future.....Now can''t even stand properly without the help of these clutches! She

    didn''t want him to see such a miserable side of hers.

    Like Quanzhi, she too was furious at their sect master for tearing and burning off Shenshah''s marriage invitation but with their current strength, they could do nothing.

    And, when she heard about him expecting his first child, her heart, just like a jar of ss, broke into countless shards.

    Little did she know, the boy she was thinking about was already walking towards her...

    To be continued..

    ....

    A/N I am now in a better mood since lots of ppl requested and messaged to keep updating the story, I am not dropping it for now.

 Chapter 15: The Sect-Master is very angry but we must bring Xenia home!

    Chapter 15: The Sect-Master is very angry but we must bring Xenia home!

    Deep inside the highest peak, where natural Qi was abundant, a woman with a veil on her face was sitting at the highest seat in an empty hall.

    Her eyebrows furrowed, the news that came in today, once it gets out will surely put the entire sect under a veil of gloominess.

    Those sharp eyes apanied by a half-revealing fierce red-dress only made her look more alluring.

    Her pitch-ck eyes seemed to see through many things happening in the sect at once.

    "Ughhh! I am so angrythose elders after being scolded by me ran away like chickens."

    "All those elders have to do is just nurture good disciples who can raise our sect''s reputation."

    "I have provided them with both talented and outstanding disciples as well as abundant resources!"

    "So why the fuck were we stillst in inter-sectpetition?"

    Yes, this woman was no other than the Sect Master, the woman with the highest authority here.

    From the morning she was looking forward to washing her tender skin in a bath prepared with some rare elixirs which she had collected painstakingly over the past two years but the happiness was too short.

    She forgot that today was the day when the two most prestigious ranking lists would be updated every 20 years.

    One was ranking for the strongest people and the second was the ranking of various sects/ organisations/ families across all 200 known floors.

    She was worried- there have been a lot of excellent people being born in the past few years. Many new species and strong families havee to power at higher floors while their sect''s talent is getting less and less.

    This fact was quite obvious when one looks at the rankings.

    The reason for her sour mood was as the sect master she was the first to get the updates regarding the ranking lists.

    She herself had slipped from the 40th position to the 166th position while their sect had fallen from the tenth position to the twenty-first position.

    In an hour or so the list will be made public, and then her sect would be aughing stock across the entire tower.

    Just as she was paying attention to things happening in the sect, her mind perceived a young boy entering Xenia''s cave.

    "Brat?"

    "This waste dares toe back?"

    -A red light gleamed at the rims of her iris which were pitch-ck.

    "Didn''tst time he say he wanted to marry and start a family? Why is he back?"

    "Wait, Xenia can now no longer cultivate due to her grave injuries. Does he n to ask her for her spirit stones to cultivate himself?" -The more the sect master thought the more she felt she was right.

    ording to her, Shenshah had been like a parasite. In two years he used four years worth of high-grade resources yet he can only reach a mere Qi-gathering third stage? And, heck he even suffered bacsh because of his lust!

    "Just yesterday I had scolded Quanzhi that we cultivators can''t go to the weddings of a lowly mortal like him as it''s below our dignity and today, this trash boy himself came?"

    Her eyes became stern as she saw Shenshah entering Xenia''s cave.

    "Let me see how you fool Xeniadare to rob her spirit stones?"

    With a snap of her fingers, she disappeared and came right to the entrance. Taking out an artifact from her spatial ring, her presence became blurry as she mixed into the air.

    Walking slowly, she stepped inside to eavesdrop on what Shenshah was going to say to her innocent disciple.

    -xx

    Just as I entered inside, I saw Xenia sitting on her bed.

    She seemed to be lost while thinking about something, from time to time, there was an asional mutteringing out of her mouth.

    "Xenia?"

    Hearing Shenshah''s voice, Xenia''s body jolted as she was dragged back to reality.

    With her widened eyes, she looked at the boy whom she secretly liked.

    "Shenshah, is it you?"

    She still couldn''t believe that I was standing in front of her.

    "Yeah, it''s me!"

    Hearing my familiar voice, and seeing my silly smile, she finally believed it.

    "But why are you here?"

    "Quanzhi told me you are already married and are even expecting your first child."

    "Shouldn''t you be looking after her?"

    The sect master who was eavesdropping secretly while hiding with her artifact couldn''t help but gnash her teeth.

    ''Very good boy! It''s hardly been 4 months since you went out and you are already married and expecting a child? Sure enough, a brat like you can''t control his lust the moment he is set free.''

    -The sect-master further became disdainful of Shensha''s character.

    "Wait, let me brew tea for you", Xenia tried to get up from the bed in a hurry.

    It was at this moment an ident happened, she forgot that she was no longer the same Xenia, her legs which were gravely injured couldn''t hold her weight as they gave in.

    "Ugghhh!"-She eximed, her voice full of panic.

    She closed her eyes thinking she would fall on the hard ground.

    Before she could feel the impact, a pair of strong arms held her in an ardent embrace.

    She could feel a strong manly smell enthralling her nose. Her face was too close to his chest that she seemed to hear his powerful heart-beat.

    I, who held Xenia for the first time, was surprised by her soft yet supple skin.

    This feeling was very different from Saharika''s. Perhaps, it was the difference due to Xenia being a cultivator.

    "Phew, that was a close call!"

    "You must be careful now.

    -Just as I was about to put her down on the bed, she held me tightly.

    "Shenshah don''t put me down!"

    "That way you will see my ugly face which now has a scar on the right side...You will see my broken legs which are useless without clutches", Not wanting to show her ugly side to Shenshah, she boldly hugged him even tighter, putting her face deeper inside his arms.

    Seeing her like this, I sat instead while holding her. She still refused to let go~

    With my gentle patting, she finally calmed down.

    "Shenshah, you know?"

    -"Hmmm?"

    "Our Sect-Master is a bitch!"

    "A very big-fuckinn bitch!"

    Hearing Xenia''s sudden outrageous words, the sect-master hiding in the shadows almost came out to beat them on the spot but she somehow stopped herself in the end.

    ...

    A/N of course if you still can''t figure out, the girl in the cover is Saharika.

 Chapter 16: Xenia, Don’t you feel the temperature is getting cold?

    Chapter 16: Xenia, Don��t you feel the temperature is getting cold?

    "Why?"

    Although I knew the reason for her cursing, a yful part of my heart wanted to hear her more.

    A girl who scolds sarcastically or swears without caring much has apletely different-level charm. Their spiciness always brings a smile to your face as long as their target isn''t you.

    "Of course, who behaves like that bitch?"

    "She brought you to this sect, she is your teacher as she gave you her disciple token. But after leaving you at your cave she almost forgot you."

    "Ohe on, if your apprentice is bad why are you not giving him one of those heavenly medicines that can increase one''s potential."

    "Shenshah, do you know? What''s her favourite hobby?"

    "Hmm?"

    "Her favourite hobby is collecting all sorts of rare-heavenly medicines and then pouring them into a big tub to take a bath in it. Literally, what a wastage."

    "Here, outer sect disciples are working overtime doing those dangerous sect-missions just to earnmon grade items while she is having a st."

    The more Xenia spoke the more excited she got,

    "And yeah, one thing I always wanted to ask: Since she is the strongest person in our sect, did she give you any overpowered cultivation technique?"

    Her eyes attentively waited for an answer.

    "Nope!"

    "Any strong weapon?"

    Her face started twitching from one side,

    "Any artifact?"

    "Nah!"

    "A-Any, talisman?"

    I still had the same answer.

    "She only gave me 400 high-grade spirit stones."

    Her eyes widened for a second but she quickly regained herposure,

    "What colour were those?"

    "White."

    "Oh Shenshah, she scammed you."

    "White ones are only impuremon-grade spirit stones."

    "Pure and High-quality ones are cyan-coloured."

    "As expected of a selfish woman."

    Hearing her words, I almost lost my temper.

    ''''Fuck! No wonder I always felt something was wrong! Maybe the reason I failed to break through earlier was that I was using such low-quality spirit stones."

    "Xenia, trust me, such a big scammer is our Sect-Master, in her hands.. the day when this sect bes thest one on the ranking list is not far away."

    "Agree."

    "If one day you be strong enough, make sure to teach her a lesson", Xenia added.

    Yes, I thought it was indeed possible. With my system, as long as I get good wives and produce excellent offsprings, surpassing her is just around the corner.

    "Don''t worry Xenia, I will tell you a secret."

    Due to sitting in myp, a hot breath from my mouth touched her ears as I bent a little, reminding her the boy whom she was hugging so boldly was her crush.

    "I am already just a little step away from reaching Qi-gathering sixth stage."

    "Surpassing sect-master is no big deal. You just wait, one day I am gonna hang her upside-down and p her buttocks hard", slowly, I whispered to her ears.

    Suddenly, I felt as if the temperature of the room dropped a little.

    Xenia too felt the same and out of instinct, held me even tighter.

    She realised that her actions were too bold and shameless but call her selfish, she didn''t want to let go of such a God-sent opportunity.

    "Shenshah, don''t you feel that all of a sudden, this cave has be so cold?"

    "Yeah, but why are you burrying your face and not daring to meet my eyes?"

    "Are you finally aware that whom you are hugging so tight is a handsome boy?"

    The sect master who was hiding via her artifact almost lost her cool. She admitted, had it not been her hundred years of patience, she would have killed these brats on the spot.

    ''What selfish? What bad woman? Boy, don''t delude yourself that you were scammed. I already checked, you neither had the aptitude nor some unique body constitution. Who would waste those high-quality spirit stones on you? The fact I gave you those low-quality impure stones is already more than what you deserve.''

    ''As for cultivation techniques and other stuff you can keep dreaming, I am not giving anything to a waste.''

    Sect master snorted when she heard their first part of talk but when the second part came her eyes almost popped out.

    ''Oh.ohhhh! Just a sixth Qi-gathering stage and want to tie me upside down and p my buttocks?''

    Her eyes were fiercely glowing red, her anger had raised to such an astronomical level that the atmosphere around her itself started freezing out.

    But she still waited, she wanted to see the moment when Shenshah would ask for Xenia''s spirit stones.

    She was damn sure that this lustful boy only came back to cheat Xenia.

    You know Xenia and Quanzhi, given their talent, are among the top 20 people in the outer sect!

    As long as they sessfully build their foundation, they will be directly promoted to the inner sect.

    She even nned to find some medicine for Xenia to help her recuperate.

    But now nahhh! Full of anger, she made up her mind, it''s even better if Xenia stays handicapped throughout her life. Heck, it''s even better if Shenshah can marry her.

    If it happens, due to her broken legs, Shenshah will have to carry her everywhere.

    Just thinking about how miserable then Shenshah would be; when he carries her for simple things like toilet and shopping, her emotions eased a lot.

    If she knew the sole reason for him toe here today was to bring Xenia home as a wife, she would puke out of anger.

    Seeing the opportunity was perfect, I put my hands behind her back and brought her even closer to me.

    Her breasts, which were just the right shape, pushed and ttened against my sturdy chest. This soft feeling was intoxicating~

    "Nyaaaah?"

    Xenia was taken aback by my sudden offensive.

    Earlier she was hugging Shenshah but his hands didn''t hug her back, this made her heart a little disappointed.

    But happiness came too fast, her cheeks were so red that she felt even if the temperature in the cave was dropping her body was burning with fire.

    Putting my chin over her head I spoke very slowly,

    "Xenia I want to tell you, Why did I reallye here today.."

    ''It''sing.he is finally going to cheat and dupe that injured girl of all her remaining spirit stones'', the sect master eximed righteously.

 Chapter 17: “I agree!”

    Chapter 17: ��I agree!��

    Xenia, whose excitement under my bold hug was aroused to the fullest, was all ears.

    When she learned that mying to her had a special reason, her heart started bing even more turbulent.

    Feeling my heavy breathing and my unscrupulous hands running so dishonesty behind her back, she must have realised my intentions.

    One by one, the possibilities that she only dared to imagine started appearing in her mind.

    "Shenshah, do you also lik"

    -Before she could finish her sentence, I put my fingers on her lips.

    "Xenia, Shhh!"

    She felt puzzled.

    I knew this was one of those moments where actions speak louder than words.

    Under her dted pupils, without wasting any second, I directly ovepped mine lips over hers.

    Her mind was too preupied to offer any resistance.

    But even if it was not, Why would she stop his actions? Isn''t this the most hidden desire in her heart that she wanted the most?

    Xenia felt like time itself had paused and only she and Shenshah were left in this world as her eyes were locked with mine.

    I licked my lips clean,

    "As expected, it''s really better than imagining, right?"

    Xenia, who simr to Shenshah, was intoxicated and lost in the aftertaste, finally reacted.

    "Shenshah, you."

    She shouted loudly.

    She felt if she did not show any form of protest, Shenshah might feel she was an easy woman.

    However before the words of cursing and scolding could be uttered, I even more shamelessly sealed her mouth.

    Unlike thest time, this time Xenia was much aware.

    She could feel Shensha''s big tongue provoking her little mouth.

    After a couple of minutes, I finally separated from her as both our breathings were raged.

    The time, the ce, the atmosphere, the momentum everything was in perfect-sync and I didn''t let this opportunity go waste,

    "Xenia,e home with me."

    "The sole reason I came here is to take you back as my concubine."

    Xenia who had just now managed to get a hold of her awareness felt her mind go spinning all over again.

    The happiness came too fast for her.

    She wanted to jump in his embrace and shout-yes~

    But her face started losing colour, she remembered she was no longer the Xenia she used to be.

    Feeling the sudden shaking of her hands, I once again held her domineeringly.

    I knew, I must be direct~

    "Xenia, I know you are worried about your legs."

    "It''s reasonable, but remember, the person you like is not an ordinary person. I have enough money to hire many maids to take care of you."

    "All you have to do is sit obediently at home and enjoy a leisurelful life like a little wife while epting everything your husband does for you."

    "Oh yeah, now that we are talking about it, there''s one more thing you have to do, you know what?"

    Feeling my deep gaze and encouraging words, Xenia seemed to be carried away, in a flow she asked,

    "What?"

    "Of course, give birth to some healthy babies, that way our family will be moreplete."

    Looking at my teasing smile, she realised she fell under Shenshah''s provocation.

    "Shenshah, you"

    -She hurled a couple of punches on my chest, her actions full of coquettishness.

    How could those soft, boneless punches hurt me?

    It was her unique way of expressing her emotions~

    Some might have called her a tsundere, but it didn''t matter.

    When Xenia heard him referring to himself as her husband, her heart started beating so loud, like it wanted to jump out.

    She felt that this new word- husband, was so pleasing to ears, the satisfaction at this time was at an all-time-high, her life seemed to have achieved its goal.

    The obsession she had for him was already too deep, so better just drown in itpletely.

    "Butis it okay?"

    "I mean is your wife okay about your decision to marry me?"

    No matter how happy Xenia was, she still wasn''t as shameless as Shenshah.

    She knew such things need to be sorted beforehand lest it bes nastyter-on.

    "Yes, it''s okay!"

    "It''s not only you, in future, I am going to marry a lot of girls."

    "My dream is to create a big family and live a happy life with my girls."

    Seeing the determination on Shenshah''s face as he spoke these words, Xenia pouted.

    But it was not like she could say anything, she was marrying as the second girl to begin with.

    Moreover, as his future wife, even though she wanted to monopolise him, she knew it was her duty to support his absurd dream sincerely.

    Looking at him, eagerly waiting to hear her response, she didn''t disappoint,

    "I agree!"

    She spoke immediately like she had been waiting for this moment.

    ''Great, now as long as I sleep with her, I should be able to open the system mall!''

    ''Getting her was easy as she already was in an unrequited one-sided rtionship with me.''

    "Should we report to the sectmaster before leaving?"

    "After all, you are a promising disciplethe sectmaster might have ns to find some rare medicine to repair your injuries?"

    Hearing my question, Xenia reacted nonchntly.

    "No need, I have already decided to be your wife and spend the rest of my years with you."

    "Who even cares about that scammer bitch?"

    Xenia seemed to havepletely lost her trust in the sect. She had been lying in her cave for more than two and a half months but no one came to visit her except Quanzhi. No friends, No elders, No teacher nor even the sectmaster who used to praise her for being one of the outstanding outer-sect disciples!

    She had now seen through the sticity as well as duplicity of this cruel cultivation world. People will onlye to you as long as you have value. Once you are not good enough, they will slowly start to alienate and start finding better options.

    Shenshah came to her without caring about any of the above prejudice.

    How can her heart not be moved?

    Now, even if Secrmaster personally came to plead her to stay in the sect, her answer would be a strong no!

    "Fine, let''s just leave like this, no need to meet anyone."

    I nodded, noticing the change in her tone.

    The sect master who was hiding in the dark clenched her fists,

    ''Why is he not behaving like I thought?''

    ''Did he note here to deceive Xenia of her remaining spirit stones?''

    ''Wait, maybe this lustful guy is after Xenia''s body?''

    ''And Xenia, don''t you cry in future that the sect abandoned you!''

    The more she watched the young-lovebirds flirting the more she felt she was eating dogfood.

    You know she is already 300 years old yet she hadn''t held a boy''s hand, and the people were so boldly kissing in front of her? How audacious.

    ''But still...want to runaway from the sect after deceiving Xenia, without even informing me?''

    The sectmaster came out of Xenia''s cave and turned off her artifact.

    Her figure was no longer illusory as she waited for the scandalous couple toe out, she was ready for a showdown.

 Chapter 18: My Xenia is a simple girl with a simple heart~

    Chapter 18: My Xenia is a simple girl with a simple heart~

    "Shenshah, put me down."

    Xenia started shaking, trying to make him release his grip on her.

    "Don''t make a fuss",

    "Just keep holding me tightly, this will save time."

    Xenia was embarrassed, she never thought that the moment she agreed, he would directly put her on his back and carry her like giving a piggyback ride.

    She too thought that walking with clutches would take a lot of time, better just let Shenshah carry her.

    But it was onlyter she realised, if others see her like this, How shameful it would beSuch a close contact between her and Shenshah even though they are yet to marry. Her face was dyed crimson.

    As soon as I came out of the cave carrying Xenia on my back, I saw someone unexpected, those fiery red eyes can''t be mistaken for someone else.

    "Sect Master?."

    Like Shenshah, the sectmaster was equally surprised.

    ''Very good, it''s only been a few minutes, and you have already started hugging in public?''

    Even though she knew Shenshah was carrying Xenia because she can''t walk, her mind, which was full of prejudice about him, refused to admit it.

    "Xenia, are you leaving the sect?"

    "Without even informing anyone?"

    "Why don''t you speak anything?"

    Her cold eyes locked on Xenia, without caring about Shenshah.

    Xenia was taken aback, the Sectmaster''s appearance here should not be in the script.

    Seeing the silent couple, the Sectmaster showed a triumphant smile.

    "Xenia, I tell you."

    "You are being deceived, just give me some time, I will find some medicine to heal your injuries."

    "Why are you associated with such a weak boy like him? Just by a fluke of luck, he managed to raise his cultivation base, look at him."

    "This brat has already lost interest in cultivation as he is enjoying his mundane life to the fullest."

    "The colourful clothes he is wearing, the gold chain around his neck, not to forget his concept of living happily after marrying many girls, all is a big hoax to dupe innocent girls like you."

    "I am telling you this because you are a very promising disciple, I don''t want you to make a choice that you end up regretting your entire lifetime."

    When Xenia was questioned, she didn''t care but when Shenshah''s character was questioned in front of her, her fuse blew.

    She was a hot girl with a low temper to begin with~

    A virtuous wife never speaks with two hearts.

    Since she has decided to follow Shenshah whole-heartedly, she will not care about other people''s opinions. She will ept and support him in everything.

    Because now she not only loves Shenshah but also loves Shenshah''s ideals and career, no matter how unrealistic they might be.

    Her being an orphan like Shenshah, only intensified this emotion.

    Even though I was ignored, I had to stand up for Xenia. How can I let this scammer bitch utter nonsense in front of my future wife?

    But just when I was about to speak, Xenia stopped me.

    "Wait!"

    "Since she addressed these words to me, let me give her a response she shall always remember."

    She took a deep breath.

    Instead of getting down, she tightened her grip on Shenshah''s shoulders.

    Her actions aimed at provoking Sectmaster''s anger.

    "Yes, we are leaving!"

    "I am leaving with the one who will be my future husband."

    "Why should I report to the people who don''t care about me?"

    "I was basically without any life-goals when I started cultivating, so it shouldn''t have mattered if after the injury I couldn''t cultivate any longer."

    "But that was before I met Shenshah!"

    "Now my life has a goal!"

    "To live and grow old with him, and."

    "And, to give a lot of healthy children to him."

    "Even if you can help me heal, what''s its use if it doesn''t allows me to be with Shenshah?"

    She spoke as if she was showing-off.

    She doesn''t know why, at this moment, her heart was full of courage.

    "I don''t care about what others think, as long as I am happy, I don''t give a damn about them!"

    "But Xenia, think about the sect?"

    The Sectmaster spoke with twitching eyebrows.

    "What sect?"

    "I don''t owe anything to anyone."

    "All the resources I used were either bought from the tasks Ipleted or the money left behind by myte parents."

    "Shenshah, let''s go..No need to waste more time here."

    I could smell the gunpowder in her tone. I was sure if the other woman was someone else than the Sectmaster, Xenia would have long sworn some bad words at her.

    I proudly looked at the sectmaster who was staring at me deeply.

    Clearly, in her eyes, I was the reason Xenia refused to stay in the sect.

    Her ring eyes seemed to be saying- It''s all because of you, brat!

    This time it was me who without caring about her, arrogantly walked past her.

    The feeling of being ignored was thrown back.

    It was so satisfying.

    Looking at the pair who were about to leave, her mood soured.

    ''If the girl can''t be convinced, let''s use the boy. It will be a big loss if Xenia really left'', the Sectmaster decided to use another way of manipting.

    She spoke loudly,

    "Shenshah, are you so selfish that you want to steal Xenia''s future? Are you not aware of her excellent potential? If it''s Spirit stones you want,e with me to the main hall. At this very instant, I will give you enough Spirit stones to live the rest of your life without any worries. And, Xenia, it''s too soon for you to talk about feelings. First, cultivate and be someone strong. Once you achieve that, finding someone who is many times more worthy than Shenshah and cherishes you will be a cakewalk."

    Firstes intimidation thenes temptation, with this tactic the sectmaster had already manipted many people''s minds. She was sure this trick of hers would work again.

    Seeing Shenshah, who was carrying Xenia behind his back, stopping after she shouted her words, a big smile bloomed on her face.

    Even if there was a danger of her killing us on the spot, this time I let my mouth run loose.

    As the head of the family that I will create, the matter hase to my dignity.

    I only stopped for a moment but without turning back I replied,

    "How can someone who has been a virgin for hundreds of years know anything about feelings?"

    "You say that once you be strong you can then find someone suitable to be your partner."

    "But aren''t you strong enough? So why are you still single? Oh yeah, now that you have tasted the awesomeness of being strong, how can you be willing to settle for your current realm? You must be already nning on even further increasing your realm and strength, right? How can you have time for such trivial things?"

    "So don''tpare my Xenia to yourself. She is not so ambitious and selfish like you. She is a simple girl with a simple heart who wants to be with me."

    The words were sharp and clear,

    Without wasting any time, I quickened my footsteps as we left the sect.

    The Sectmaster stood there motionless.

    Shenshah''s words were like sharp daggers aimed directly at her.

    It was the first time a weakling dared to speak so arrogantly in front of her.

    Her chest was heaving violently, the anger in those eyes was filled to the brim.

    Had it not been inside the sect, she would have directly killed him for talking so loudly in front of her.

    ''Boy, do you think it''s so easy to insult me and run away?''

 Chapter 19: Xenia feels jealous- “Then I and Shenshah will marry today itself!”

    Chapter 19: Xenia feels jealous- ��Then I and Shenshah will marry today itself!��

    After two hours of carrying Xenia on my back, we finally reached our destination.

    "Shenshah, Wow! You didn''t lie, your ce is really big, 30-40 people can live in it without any hassle", Xenia''s eyes shone seeing the big vi.

    "Yeah, it''s a gift from the vige lord."

    "I see."

    Xenia looked forward to meeting Saharika. On our way back, she asked various questions to prepare herself for this encounter.

    "Don''t be nervous, Saharika is a good girl."

    "Hmmm!"

    Opening the door, we finally entered the house.

    Saharika, who was doing something in the kitchen, upon hearing someone opening the door, rushed out.

    "Shenshah!"

    Her face was filled with relief as she shouted happily, it was the first time in months that her husband had left the vige, and a little anxiety had crept into her heart as she knew people in the sect didn''t have a good opinion of Shenshah.

    Then she realised there was another girl besides me, she knew the mission was sessful.

    "Hello, Miss Xenia!"

    She bowed politely.

    Looking at Xenia being carried on my back, she couldn''t help but sympathise with her.

    "Husband, bring Miss Xenia to the room I prepared."

    "We will talk there."

    "Sure!"

    Under her lead, I carried Xenia to the room which she had long prepared.

    After putting Xenia down on the bed, shortly, Saharika brought tea and other snacks.

    Like an obedient and caring wife who wanted to help her husband, she had already prepared everything.

    She was confident that her husband would definitely bring Xenia home.

    I gave them enough time to get to know each other as I went to take a bath. I knew both of them wanted to probe if the other girl''s character was really good and not hiding any bad intentions secretly. Some talks are better for girls to have among themselves.

    After eating the refreshments and talking about lots of things, Saharika and Xenia seemed to have instantly connected. At first, they probed each other asking many things but with Shenshah as themon subject, soon they started sharing their instances with him, sometimes they chuckled, sometimes theyughed out aloud remembering many funny moments, and when Xenia shared how badly Shenshah was treated in the sect, both of them became emotional.

    With the way they talked, they realised that the other party also had deep-rooted feelings for him. By the end, the girls were filled with good opinions of each other.

    Looking at Xenia who had now befortable, Saharika finally spoke.

    "So how do we do your wedding?"

    At this time, I finally entered the room.

    I was unaware that the wedding talk had already begun.

    Xenia looked at me then blushed,

    "Isn''t it too fast?"

    "Nah, me and him got married just two days after we first met!"

    Saharika replied proudly.

    Hearing her words, Xenia was instantly provoked.

    ''I and Shenshah had known each other for more than 2 years and not yet married but she married just after 2 days of knowing each other?''

    Competitiveness is something that has always been a part of a woman''s personality. As long as it is healthy, it''s always beneficial for the people involved.

    Xenia didn''t want to waste any more time.

    "Then I and Shenshah will marry today itself!"

    Her tone was decisive.

    "But don''t we need time to invite other people?"

    Saharika asked, still unaware that her proud words ignited Xenia''spetitive nature.

    I sat beside Xenia,

    "It''s good if we can marry and confirm our marriage today itself."

    Putting my hands on her waist, I agreed with Xenia.

    To be honest, yes, I was a little lustful and wanted to know how different a cultivator''s body will feel and taste but more part of me was eager toplete the system''s notification of marrying the second wife. I was looking forward to the system''s store that will open after I spend my wedding night with Xenia.

    Feeling Shenshah''s strong hands on her waist, Xenia''s confidence seemed to have been boosted.

    "Yes, moreover, since both me and Shenshah are orphans and have sour rtions with the sect, we don''t need to specially invite anyone else."

    "Also, as cultivators, I don''t need to have any sort of special celebration like other normal people do at their weddings."

    Saharika nodded in understanding, she thought that Xenia''s love for her husband was too overflowing that she wanted to be one with him as fast as she could.

    But the more she thought the more she felt it was reasonable as Xenia had been with her husband for much longerpared to her.

    "Okay, it''s just evening since everyone is okay with it, I will call the priest and the vige lord people who were present at my and Saharika''s wedding."

    "Yes, in the meantime, I will help Xenia get ready."

    "My wedding dress will fit her perfectly, it won''t take much time. Her skin and face are way more beautiful than mine, just a slight make-up here and there, and she will shine like a fairy."

    Hearing Saharika''s words, Xenia''s face reddened.

    "No, sister Xenia, you underestimate your charm."

    Seeing Saharika about to get up to help Xenia dress-up, I too took my leave.

    I calcted it was about 4 pm, after inviting everyone, if everything goes rightby 6 or 7 pm our wedding should be done and tonight I should enjoy my bridal chambers.

    -xx-

    While Shenshah and his girls were busy preparing for the wedding,

    In the sect, a very unexpected person paid a visit today.

    The sectmaster was sitting on the table opposite, looking warily at the woman who came without any prior notice.

    ording to her perspective, this woman with bunny ears was only slightly behind her in terms of both beauty as well as strength.She was just a little behind her in tower rankings~

    "Are you here tough at me?"

    "Yeah, that must be the reason! From the time we started cultivation.you had always been jealous of me and trying everything you could to surpass me!"

    "Now that the news of mine and my sect''s ranking drop has reached the whole tower, you little rabbit must be here to make fun of me, right?"

    The alluring woman with cute rabbit ears showed her tongue in response.

    "Hehe, even though I want tough and mock you, I am more concerned about this Shenshah."

    "From the moment I came inside your room, you had been constantly cursing this boy-named Shenshah like he had some blood-feud with you."

    "What are you saying? When did I curse him?"

    The sectmaster hastily denied her words. A renowned Sectmaster, getting angry over a mere waste?

    If such words go out, her reputation will surely take another hit. She will never admit it, especially when the person in front of her was this rabbit-eared woman.

    ''Hmmm, then who was the one shouting- I will send one of my secret agents to marry him and then will make her backstab him,pletely shattering his mortal heart?Had I note secretly, How could I have eavesdropped on such an important piece of info?"

    The rabbit-eared woman knew this Sectmaster''s arrogant personality will never allow her to admit such a thing so she yed along.

    "Okay, okay!"

    "You never said anything like that."

    "Let''s instead talk about how to deal with those stinky elders who are plotting to overthrow you on the pretext of being ipetent."

    Looking at the Sectmaster''s unbelievable eyes, she couldn''t help but raise her arms,

    "After all, I am your only friend!"

    -

    A/N -Plz leave a review for book if you haven''t yet~

 Chapter 20: At last, Xenia is happy~

    Chapter 20: Atst, Xenia is happy~

    The wedding went smoothly. Xenia, although ashamed of the crutches that were supporting her, didn''t give a damn.

    Since she had decided to jump on Shenshah''s pirate ship, then she could only blindly sail ahead.

    Xenia looked around, there was a priest and some people from the vige lord''s mansion, andstlysome guys whom Shenshah had recently talked to in the vige; all of them were apuding happily.

    Even though the vige lord had a crooked personality, he had to admit that with Shenshah, the crime rate in the vige almost disappeared. Business and agriculture, without any substantial threat from bandits, bloomed as the vige ushered in its golden age.

    The biggest immediate beneficiary was him, as he could increase taxes which he hadn''t raised for many years.

    He looked at the beautiful woman, who was barely standing with the crutches on the stage next to Shenshah. He helplessly sighed,

    ''Even though the girl is beautiful, she will be a burden in the long run. There are so many girls in the vige who want to marry Shenshah. Why did he still marry her? Just because she has a good face? Anyways it''s not my problem, haha!''

    It was not only the vige lord, almost all the people present at the wedding ceremony held simr thoughts, but no one dared to say anything wrong. By now, all were aware of Shenshah''s strength and didn''t dare to provoke his wrath.

    Xenia, who was waiting for the priest to conclude the ceremony, could very well feel the strange gazes and petty thoughts of everyone present. As a cultivator, her sense to perceive such things was even sharper.

    ''It''s okay Xenia! As long as you are not embarrassed, it''s the other ones that are embarrassed'', cheering herself inwardly, she boldly looked at everyone and gave a heart-warming smile.

    And sure enough, most of the people below the stage were taken aback by her strong reply and looked away in embarrassment.

    "Okay, both bride and groom, pay attention!"

    "Do you take this gentleman to be yourwful husband and will follow him in life and death?"

    "Yes", Xenia had been waiting for this moment for a long time.

    The priest then looked at me,

    "Do you take this young maiden to be yourwful wife and give her the opportunity to follow you in life and death?"

    "Yes!"

    As soon as I affirmed, without waiting for the priest to say more, I domineeringly pulled Xenia to my side and lifted her veil.

    Then I did what a man should do, ardently kissing and savouring those sweet lips.

    Kyaaa~

    Xenia, caught off-guard.eximed, but her tone was full of anticipation instead of being ashamed.

    At this particr moment, her heart was inexplicably sweet, like she had eaten some sugar-coated candies.

    She was no longer a rookie, had already been given kissing lessons by me in the cave before, she was quick to follow my pace.

    As for spectators? They can just eat dog-food and burn with envy.

    "Okay, I now pronounce you husband and wife, Happy Married life!"

    "Let''s leave the couple alone!"

    -The priest, being experienced in such things, spoke loudly from behind. With his hands, he gestured for everyone to leave lest they are unable to sleep peacefully tonight.

    "Shenshah!"

    Xenia''s eyes were blurred as love in her heart overflowed.

    I knew she was ready.

    "Okay, I am going to my room now", Saharika too, sensibly left the couple alone.

    She knew tonight belonged to Xenia~

    Under the tint of glistening moonlight, Xenia''s breathless face only made her look more alluring.

    No words need to be spoken.

    Putting one of my hands on her waist and the other under her knees, I lifted her.

    Our destination: the wedding room.

    The night was young,

    The raiders didn''t leave any quarters.

    The dried grasnds were finally moisturized by dew as Xenia''s fantasies turned to reality.

    She finally tasted the joy of being a woman~

    ...

    "Shenshah?"

    "Hmmm?"

    "Tell me something romantic", her intoxicated eyes seemed to drool with endearment.

    How could I deny such a serene request?

    Putting back the dishevelled strands of her hair behind her ears, I whispered slowly,

    "I found out that I liked you very much yesterday, and I like you very much today, and I have this strong feeling that I will like you even more tomorrow."

    Hot air from my mouth seemed to calm her mind,

    "Glib tongue."

    Tired by the aftermath, she blissfully closed her eyes.. The bedsheet soaked with our bodily fluids spoke of how intense the night-activity was.

    I knew it was the time I should get the notification and surely the system didn''t disappoint as my mind received the prompt I had been looking forward to.

    [It is detected that the host sessfully confirmed his rtionship with the second wife.]

    [The host''s second wife has a cultivation base of the seventh stage of Qi-gathering, Calcting rewards...]

    [Rewards issued- 110 years of cultivation experience and a 10% increase in natural talent. Please note: Host''s talent is now upgraded from Grade F to F+]

    [Since thest time host requested to ept the cultivation experience manually, all the experience is stored in system space till the host is ready to ept it.]

    I breathed a sigh of relief, thankfully the system epted my request. Otherwise, every time I break through suddenly after automatically epting the cultivation experience, I was sure it will cause a heck ofmotion.

    I knew there was still more toe.

    [Missionpleted: Marry a second wife]

    [System store is opening.]

    [Main mission being issued]

    Before I could check the contents of new things that were being unlocked,

    "Shenshah!"

    Xenia instantly stood up.

    "Fuck!"

    "I left my mother''s earrings inside my cave."

    "We need to get them back, it''s the only thing my mother left behind."

    "It''s okay!"

    "Calm down and get back to sleep."

    "I promise I will return to the sect tomorrow and get it back."

    -Feeling my hand caressing her face and reassured by my responsible words, she gave a gentle smile.

    "Hmm, let''s sleep for now", she squeezed into my arms, hugging me tightly.

    Feeling her soft yet wet skin, my hands started bing unscrupulous.

    I knew it was time for another round~

    It would be a tragedy if I denied a girl who was this enthusiastic.

    ''It seems I can only check the system''s rewards tomorrow.''

    ....

    A/N: Okay, here''s the challenge if this chapter manages to get more than 80ments in thement box below I will instantly share another chapter ahead of schedule~

    Only 1ment per one person is allowed.

 Chapter 21: System finally completely unlocks!

    Chapter 21: System finallypletely unlocks!

    I got up early in the morning, I decided it was the best time to leave for the sect. If I leave now, I should be able to return by evening.

    Afterst night''s passionate love-making, Xenia was sleeping peacefully. There was a serene smile on her face, it seemed as if she was still in a beautiful dream.

    Without bothering her, I slowly got out of bed.

    Even though I didn''t want to return to the sect, I had no choice.

    After all,st night I promised Xenia that I will bring back her mother''s earrings that she had forgotten in her cave.

    As soon as I came out of the room and got freshened up, I saw Saharika, who had just gotten-up and came out into the hall.

    After briefing her on my reason to leave I left my house.

    While on my way, I found a deste ce to eptst night''s system reward and check the new things I missed.

    "Okay, this ce beside theke is perfect. Let''s first eptst night''s cultivation experience and then check other new things."

    I sat cross-legged,

    "System, I am ready to ept the experience that is stored in system space."

    The moment I spoke, I suddenly felt arge amount of Natural-Qi from the surroundings rushing towards me. Even though my talent was only F+, the cultivation experience of 110 years was no joke.

    You know, a normal Qi-gathering fifth stage person can only live up to 110 years unless he breaks through beyond the eight or ninthyer of Qi-gathering. Under normal circumstances, given my aptitude, cultivating for 110 years straight was almost impossible.

    It was the same feeling I felt the first time, my meridians were forcibly widened as muscles and tendons in my body became bulkier.

    My aura started increasing rapidly~

    Qi-Gathering early-sixth stage, mid-sixth stage,te-sixth...early-seventh,te-seventh.....

    Finally, my aura stabilised at thete-eighth stage of Qi-Gathering.

    Feeling the surge in strength, I clenched my fists in excitement, "Sure enough, this feeling of getting stronger is really intoxicating."

    "Oof, this ck thing on my skin.it stinks!"

    There were some impurities on my skin that were forced out in the process of breaking-through.

    After cleaning my body with theke water, it was time to move to the second part of the rewards~

    In my mind, Imunicated with the system as an interface appeared in front of me with two tabs-

    System Store and Missions.

    [System Store: A Store dedicated to providing the best things ording to its host''s needs. By doing the item-specific task, the host can redeem the item.

    Once the items are sessfully redeemed, the store will automatically refresh for new items.

    ##1: Engagement Ring of a thousand Miles-

    A ring created by a mad Goldsmith whose name had long been forgotten in the passage of time. Don''t think of it as a mere piece of gold jewellery; the goldsmith who created it, wanted to defy the universe itself. With his excellent craftsmanship, he sessfully managed to pull off this masterpiece at the cost of his own life.

    This item has some unique effects which even the system is not able to decipher.

    Once used, in 90 days, the item will wear-off on its own.

    Redeeming condition(achieved): Marry a cultivator wife for the first time.

    ## 2: Water of eternal dependence-

    It is said that a wife is the husband''s ultimate reverse-scale and both of them are joined at the hips. This water when taken together by a couple will link the wife''s cultivation with her husband''s and remove all treatable injuries. Even if a wife is a mortal, drinking it can help her achieve the same realm as her husband. The wife''s talent and cultivation experience can help the husband to breakthrough easily.

    Please Note- Once taken, the wife''s original cultivation realm will dissipate in two days before she shares her husband''s cultivation base.

    Quantity: 10 bottles( can be used for 5 wives.)

    Redeeming condition (not achieved): Have a marriage bond with a female whose cultivation base is at least a thousand times greater than the host.]

    "Haaaaa!"

    I gave a deep sigh~

    "As expected, the system is really a big cheat, the store didn''t lie! It really gave what I wanted the most. The second item is what I really need to heal Xenia."

    "Moreover, if Saharika takes it, she can share my cultivation base and break through the shackles of being a mortal directly and her lifespan can be same as me!" - I couldn''t help but exim in awe.

    "It''s pleting the condition to redeem it isn''t that easy", I smiled wryly.

    "Marrying a very strong woman is an easier thing said than done. Who in their right mind will marry a weak person?"

    "A woman is actually a very selfish creature especially when ites to love and if given a chance noone wants to share their husband. To make matters worse, 95% of strong women are inherently arrogant and even if they are willing to marry, most of them will never allow their husband to have more life-partners. Their personality can''t allow it."

    "The only exception to break this situation is to have more strength than them, so you can make them listen and adjust ording to you", I shook my head in dismay.

    "There''s at least a possibility toplete this condition."

    "But what''s with the first item?"

    "System, are you sure I need this ring? It seems a bit ordinary..even its function is not written", I felt skeptical about this item.

    Feeling dissatisfaction from Shenshah, the system instantly replied,

    [The items that appear in the system store are based on the active variables which includes: luck, talent, destiny, fate, aptitude and some other mysterious things concerning both the host as well as people associated with the host. Therefore, no item will be useless as it can help in some way or another. It''s just that the host may or may not find it useful ording to his approach to various situations.]

    "I understand", I nodded my head in affirmation.

    This waspletely a matter of perspective. Just like some games I used to y which had two or more routes depending on the choices the yer made, there were some items that were helpful in one route while beingpletely useless in the other.

    "Okay, let''s see the second thing", I took a deep breath before choosing Missions tab,

    [First Main Mission (Notpulsory toplete): Climb up to the 20th floor of the tower.

    Reward: Excellent Bloodline options for you and your wives.]

    [Side Mission (Notpulsory toplete): In process of being generated....

    Please Note: Side missions will keep generating periodically depending upon the situations the host faces. Rewards can vary depending upon the missions issued.]

    I finally got the gist of everything, everything was exined so meticulously that it would be a shame If I still couldn''t understand it.

    "It seems my guess is true."

    "In the end I still need to climb the tower."

    I already had a premonition that sooner orter I will have to climb to the higher floors because ording to general information avable to the public- as you keep going higher, the natural-Qi keeps getting denser whilews that restrict our breakthrough be weaker and weaker. Plus, only on higher floors can you start to have an understanding of variousws.

    It''s not only me, anyone who wants to keep moving ahead on this immortal road, must climb the tower.

    Not to forget, many floors have their own speciality like some have different races like elves, vampires, mermaids etc; some have breath-taking scenery, some have advanced technologies that I only saw in sci-fi movies and so on. All this only makes this journey even more exciting and worthwhile.

    "Ahhh!"

    "There are still many things to consider and take care of before I decide anything."

    "Anyways, let''s first head to the sect and get Xenia''s earrings", after adjusting my dishevelled clothes, I once again started my journey uphill.

 Chapter 22: “So your name is Shenshah?”

    Chapter 22: ��So your name is Shenshah?��

    "Hmm, I don''t know if it''s just methe mood here seems a bit low?"

    As I walked inside the sect''s gate, even the guards guarding the entrance didn''t ask me to show my sect token as if they were lost thinking about something.

    Somehow I felt my sixth sense screaming not to enter inside; my footsteps momentarily paused.

    I had always been one of the guys who trusted his guts.

    I turned back and walked to one of the guards,

    "Hello, senior brother!"

    To show more respect, I even bowed a little half-heartedly.

    The guard''s vanity was satisfied upon seeing someone bowing before him. He nodded,

    "Greetings!"

    Seeing that his tone was positive, I directly asked the thing on my mind,

    "Senior brother, is something wrong today?"

    "Earlier, the sect''s entrance was always bustling with fellow cultivators, but today I can hardly see anyone?"

    "Did youe back from some sect mission?"

    He asked.

    "Yes", I answered right away. It seemed the best usible excuse.

    "So that''s why!"

    "The prestigious ranking lists have been made public. Our sect fell from the 10th to the 21st position while the sect master''s ranking slipped from 40th to 166th position; as a result, the sect master was furious."

    He took a small pause as his eyes dimmed.

    "Yesterday evening, she decisively called a sect meeting, scolding everyone present for their ipetence, saying that even her personal ranking suffered because of taking care of so many disciples. She even arrested many elders saying they were not teaching the disciples properly and instead were thinking of overthrowing her."

    -The guard, after sighing dejectedly, became quiet and went back to his original position.

    It was clear that he was no longer in the mood to talk about this topic anymore.

    ''Given his attitude, it seems that this scammy-bitch exploded once I left with Xenia and should have relieved her frustration on poor disciples.''

    Looking at the situation, I was pretty sure that if I met the sect master again, things wouldn''t end well for me.

    ''It''s okay, all I need to do is go to Xenia''s cave and get the earring before leaving as fast as possible.''

    Shenshah, without wasting any further time, headed towards his destination~

    Maybe it was his bad luck, he had barely walked a few metres when the sect master, along with her only friend, entered the sect.

    Sect master''s footsteps instantly stopped as she looked at the back of a man getting further and further away.

    How could she forget this person so easily?

    This lowly mortal dared to talk back to her, such presumptuousness.

    Shenshah''s image was long feeded in her mind.

    She instantly recognised him.

    "This brat still had the courage toe back?"

    Even though the sect master''s voice was shallow, she forgot the person beside her was someone whose level was only slightly below her.

    The soft bunny ears above the woman''s head just like antennaes instantly caught the sect master''s low-amplitude whisper.

    ''Brat? This tone is simr to the one with which she was scolding that boy.''

    This new woman once again recalled all the words she had heard when she secretly eavesdropped on the sect master before entering her room.

    ''Yes, I rememberat that time she cursed this brat as Shenshah'', her eyes were filled with curiosity.

    "Sister, you were right. Those unique sunflower fields bloomed as soon as the sun was up. It was worthwhile to watch such beautiful scenery as soon as you got up!"

    "Sister?"

    "Nothing!" -The sect master quickly hid the change on her face and acted as if everything was normal.

    "It''s just that I remembered something trivial."

    Before the conversation could make any progress they were interrupted by an elder who came running towards them.

    "Sect master, finally you are back!"

    "There are some important guests who came to see you!"

    -The elder''s face was full of sweat. It was clear he had been waiting for the sect master''s return for quite some time now. Probably the identity of visitors was not that simple.

    "Did they arrive so soon?"

    "Shao, you can go look around the sect while I take care of my business."

    It was clear she wanted to keep her privacy regarding this matter.

    "It''s okay, everyone has their own little secrets."

    Shao, the bunny-eared woman replied nonchntly.

    Shao looked at the receding back of her friend who followed after the Elder to meet the new guests.

    "It''s so boring here, what should I do?"

    "Oh yes, let''s meet this boy who managed to make her angry! I have never seen her so angry because of someone before."

    Shao, too disappeared: Her destination, where Shenshah was.

    .....

    Xenia''s cave was pretty small, just a bed and a little washroom. Even after searching for many minutes, I couldn''t find her mother''s earrings.

    "Damm! Did those sweepers who cleaned the cave after she left, take it?"

    "Nahh! I think that bitch sect master must have ordered someone to burn everything left in our caves."

    "With her pride, she can never sit back after what I said before leaving."

    Just as I was about to leave the cave and look for the sweeper who might have cleaned the cave, a sweet voice interrupted me.

    "So your name is Shenshah?"

    "Scolding your master behind her back so openly?"

    Like a butterfly, a very beautiful woman gracefully walked in.

    There were so many remarkable features about this new woman: her unique stylish dress, her wavy dark brown hair tied into a ponytail, her round eyebrows apanied by equally sharp eyes, and not to forget her non-human rabbit-ears just by looking at once, one can make out that her identity was not simple.

    She was definitely one of those who could easily score 11/10 on any aesthetic scale.

    But I was not concerned about any of those details.

    My shock on seeing her face was too great to express in mere words.

    I couldn''t help but blurt out the name of the girl who seemed familiar yet unfamiliar~

    "Zyra, is that you?"

 Chapter 23: There are moments when you just can’t back off.

    Chapter 23: There are moments when you just can��t back off.

    There are a lot of things that leave asting impression on one''s mind.

    Zyra, this name was simrly deeply-rooted in my mind.

    A blurry memory reyed in my head.

    -It was your usual sunny day. As I was sitting at my desk, overthinking my fantasies, a transfer student named Zyra entered our ss. Her looks, her soft voice, her silliness, I was instantly bewitched by her.

    With that attractive face, I knew she was bound to have many suitors.

    To make matters worse, the social and financial differences between our families were too great for me to make a move on her.

    My life-goal at that time was pretty simple: somehow pass high school and get a regr job while earning enough to live my old lifefortably.

    My grades were already bad to begin with.

    I knew if I spent my time pursuing her, then even getting out of school would be impossible.

    Sitting at the back-bench, I could only admire her from afar. I knew just like the river water and sea water that never mix together, we two belonged to two different worlds.

    Even after graduating from school, I could never forget that enchanting face of hers.

    Earlier, I may have said I had no regrets before transmigratingbut inwardly, I knew I was not being honest.

    No human is perfect, so how could I be an exception?

    Perhaps, not confessing to her during my high school years was one of my lingering regrets.

    "Hey, Why are you standing like you lost your soul?"

    "Hehe, Am I too beautiful?"

    "Also, my name is Shao Shao, not Zyra!"

    "You can just call me Shao."

    -She stood proudly in front of Shenshah. Looking at him, who stood there in a daze, her ego that her charm was unparalleled further boosted.

    Her words quickly brought me back to reality. I realised that I was too immersed in the shback that I forgot about the situation.

    "Sorry, I was taken aback."

    "Miss Shao, you are indeed very beautiful", I spoke with facts, just like her face which was simr to Zyra, her beauty was top-notch.

    But even though I had lost my mind for a second, my rationality was still intact.

    With the words she spoke when she entered inside, it was clear.she was someone rted to that scammy sect master.

    "I don''t know why Miss Shao is looking for me?"

    -I didn''t dare make any eye-contact lest I unknowingly provoke her.

    Bowing a little half-heartedly, I spoke in my politest tone.

    Shao, being the sect master''s only friend, was too, inherently arrogant.

    She was satisfied with Shenshah''s respectful attitude.

    "Lately, your sectmaster has been cursing you repeatedly. By luck, I eavesdropped that she ns to send one of her undercover agents to harm you", Shao''s voice didn''t have the slightest fluctuation as she tantly sold out her friend, telling how fickle and stic the rtionship between the two was.

    She wanted to see how the reaction of this boy will be, and she wasn''t disappointed~

    "As expected of her!"

    "Once a bitch..Always a bitch!"

    The moment I heard Shao''s words, like it was a natural reflex, my mouth cursed on its own.

    "Hahaa, yes her character is like thatalways grumpy", Shao chuckled.

    "Actually, I only wanted to monitor you secretly from the outside."

    The smile on her oval face grew wider, I knew something bad wasing.

    "But the moment I saw you taking out that beautiful golden ring from your pocket, my eyes immediately got fascinated by it."

    "You know, at my levelit''s almost impossible to not be able to see through ordinary things like that ring."

    "But I couldn''t, my mental energy was strongly blocked when I thought about secretly examining it."

    "I am sure this thing doesn''t belong to this low-levelled floor!"

    With a devilish grin and an equally conceited attitude, she put her empty left hand in front of me.

    Her intention was clear: Offer this treasure to me, lowly mortal!

    I couldn''t help but curse her loudly in my head.

    ''Sure enough, no one associated with that sect master is normal!''

    It was only a few moments ago

    Even after looking everywhere, I wasn''t able to find Xenia''s earrings. I knew Xenia will be sad upon losing them.

    Therefore, I took out that engagement ring of a thousand years, which I got from the system''s store and fiddled with it for some seconds. I thought about gifting it to Xenia, with its intricate craftsmanship, I was confident she would love it, after all, women are naturally fans of jewellery.

    ''Damn, I hardly took out that ring for seven or eight seconds and she still noticed it?''

    ''This rabbit-earedssie must be monitoring me from the startingleisurely watching me make a fool of myself looking here and there.''

    There were so many things revolving in my mind,

    the surprise and regret brought by remembering Zyra, sadness that Xenia will be disheartened upon learning that her mother''s earrings might be lost, the urge to beat the sect master for plotting behind my back, and not to forget this proud woman''s shameless behaviour of openly coveting my ring.

    Suddenly, a bold.

    .A very audacious thought came to my mind.

    I knew there was a strong possibility that I might as well be killed the very next moment.

    But this time, I was ready to gamble everything~

    asionally, there are moments where you just can''t back off.Otherwise, you may lose something much important inside.

    I took a deep breath as the sincerity on my face returned.

    Looking at me obediently taking out the ring from my pocket, Shao''s eyes shone with greed.

    Her pupils dted as she saw the real stuff.

    ''Yes, this is definitely a treasure!''

    Shao moved her left hand closer to ept the ring.

    But I was waiting for this.

    "It''s so sad that the fingers of a beauty like you are empty!"

    Under her bewildered eyes, I quickly held her left hand and instantly put the ring on her ring finger.

    .....

    A/N : A special thanks to OpDonghuaGirl and Sire for sending magic castles in a row which made the early release of this chapter possible.

 Chapter 24: My turn to be playful

    Chapter 24: My turn to be yful

    On her regr days, Shao is generally a very cautious girl, but being haughty is one of herpsing points, and Shenshah very well took advantage of this point.

    She was caught off guard by Shenshah''s bold move.

    How dare a low-level cultivator touch her body?

    But before she could express her dissatisfaction, two red lines suddenly came out of the ring that I had put on her finger and surrounded us.

    Shou became vignt.

    Her sixth sense was screaming that the situation was not good, but as soon as she was about to jump away, she was dumbfounded. Both she and the boy in front of her seemed to have their movements locked. It was like they were under a high-level static spell.

    Only her mouth and eyes could move.

    She looked at me, and I looked at her.

    Seeing me smiling so wryly, she lost her cool.

    "Bastard, what did you do to me?"

    "Hurry and lift this spell!"

    Her tone was filled with panic. Like all normal people, she too was scared of the unknown.

    I didn''t care what happenedFor the timing, I knew my life was safe.

    Under our watchful eyes, one of the red lines entered inside me while the other entered her.

    As soon as those red lines entered our bodies, we heard a clicking sound.I swear the feeling was as if two distant connections were sessfully connected.

    Finally, after a few secondsthe red lines along with the ring on her finger disappeared, and a small leaf mark appeared on both of our palms.

    The entire process hardly took ten seconds.

    Shao, who realised she could now move, hurriedly backed off and red at me.

    Her mind was too preupied with anger to think anything straight.

    Since her childhood, no boy has ever touched her but this boy.her pride was hurt.

    "Today, no one can save you from me!"

    She spoke loudly before throwing out a magic dagger which she swiftly took out from her spatial bag hanging by the side of her waist.

    ''Damm!''

    I knew I couldn''t block this attack. The trajectory and speed of the dagger were beyond perfect.

    Looking at the sharp dagger which was only millimetres away from my heart, I could only helplessly close my eyes.For onest time, I wanted to remember the faces of my lovable wives: Saharika and Xenia, who supported me in this short yet sweet second life.

    Just when the dagger was about to pierce Shenshah''s skin, Shao felt a big pain in her heart.

    It was like her world would fall crashing down..like her life would lose all its meaning and she might lose something very important if the boy in front of her lost his life.

    This feeling which came out of nowhere, was too intense for her to ignore. Her legs, her arms, moved out of instinct as she instantly teleported and caught the sharp dagger in her palm.

    I, who was waiting for death, smelled a fragrant Jasmine-like smell slowly drifting into my nostrils.

    Little by little, I opened my eyes and saw the smooth neck of the woman who was so close to mein her hands was the sharp dagger which should have taken my life.

    Perhaps, being aware of my gaze, Shao hastily stepped away.

    Her eyes contained so many emotions.

    She recalled that everything started when Shenshah put this ring on her.

    Shao seemed to have realised something.

    To confirm her thoughts, she punched me with all her might.

    From the momentum, I could tell that she didn''t hold back in the slightest.

    With my strength, it was impossible to dodge her~

    But for some reason, the punch too stopped midway.

    Shao''s eyebrows furrowed,

    "Damn it! It''s the same feeling that I got earlier."

    "What''s wrong with me? Why do I feel I can''t afford to lose you!"

    She closed her eyes, trying to examine every single detail in her body.. but in the end, she couldn''t figure out anything. From the self-examination, it was clear that both her mind and body were fine but she knew they were not right, otherwise, Why was she feeling like this towards Shenshah?

    By now, from the words that came out of her mouth I knew, for some reason she was not able to kill me.

    While Shao was lost trying to examine what was wrong with her, I too was taken aback.

    At the time which I expected the least, I heard the system''s notification.

    [Redeeming condition for Water of eternal dependence (60% achieved): 6 bottles are unlocked and automatically kept in system space until the host wants to take them out.]

    My breathing almost became stagnant as I identally clicked my tongue.

    ''Fuckk!''

    ''Wait, it''s only now I realised it. This ring seemed to be called: Engagement Ring of a thousand miles.''

    ''Whates before a marriage? Of course it''s an engagement!''

    ''The condition for unlocking the Water of eternal dependence is to have a marriage bond with a female whose cultivation base is at least a thousand times more than mine!''

    ''There is only one usible exnation..for some reason, the red lines created by this ring that forcefully connected me and that rabbit girl together seemed to have touched the holiness a marriage bond should have!''

    I smiled as I finally realised what was wrong.

    Shao repeatedly examined the leaf mark on her left palm but couldn''t figure out anything.

    She breathed heavily as her eyes stared deeply at me.

    "It''s because of that ring, right?"

    "Bastard, Where did you get that ring?"

    "It contains some supremews which I can''t even touch."

    Her chest was heaving violently.

    "No, just tell me who made this perverted stuff and we will go to him to get it removed!"

    "Well, it was made by some mad Goldsmith. I just found it randomly", I chuckled, it was my turn to be yful.

    All the worries on my face had long disappeared the moment I knew she could never harm me.

 Chapter 25: Cooperation?

    Chapter 25: Cooperation?

    "Ughh", Shao snorted in annoyance.

    She had already tried six times to hurt Shenshah but to no avail

    The results were the same~

    Every time she was about to take his life, there was this inexplicable pang in her heart. like she just couldn''t afford to lose him~

    With her experiments, she found that this intimate connection between her and Shenshah doesn''t seem to be affected by the distance between them.

    This further made her infuriated.

    Seeming to ept her reality, she finally looked up at the culprit responsible for her plight.

    I could very well feel the helplessness in her eyes.

    In thest few minutes, I just watched her perform various acts like throwing des, throwing swords, and even throwing some random weapons I couldn''t even name. It was like enjoying a free circus performance.

    "Ohe on!"

    "Don''t make that face, weren''t you the one who wanted my ring so desperately?"

    "Had you not been so envious of my treasure, this wouldn''t have happened", my words merrily rubbed her wounds.

    "Fine, I admit I wanted to take that thing from you, happy?"

    Shao''s cheeks puffed up as her rabbit ears bent naturally. In irritation, she directly sat on the ground. As a bystander, I found her childish reaction a bit cute.

    "Now tell me, how do I take out that ring? Heck! I can''t even see that ring on my finger anymore. In ce of it, there''s now this damn leaf mark on our palms."

    -Shao, atst, decided to adopt a surrendering tone.

    Looking at her like this, I really felt so good.

    ''Shit I knew, I was never a good person but seeing people get their karma so fast is simply so satisfying!''

    Putting my hands slowly behind my back, I walked leisurely in circles around her. My face was amusing as I examined her inted body sitting angrily on the ground.

    "To be honest, I have nothing to lose."

    It is said when you know a person''s behaviour, you can guess what sort of person they are.

    Now, I had a rough idea about thisssie.

    Like the sectmaster, she was arrogant and prideful. But unlike the sectmaster, Shao''s mood was way too easily affected and she gave this strong vibes of a resentful-jealous type.

    "Think yourself, isn''t it best for me?"

    "I got a free bodyguard, who can protect my life from any potential harm! With this I can daringly live my life without any worries", I spoke as if it was a minor thing.

    "You"

    "...."

    Shao ate the words she was about to utter.

    The worry free face of Shenshah made her heart sour.

    Since childhood it was she who had wronged others, When was her time to be wronged?.. now feeling this emotion for the first time she could only grit her teeth.

    She took a deep breath, the frown on her face gradually loosened.

    "I am sorry!"

    "Shenshah, please tell me how to take out this ring?"

    Her voice became much softer and ethereal, her eyes blinked coquettishly as she transformed into apletely new woman.

    "I promise you: as long as you release me, I will give you three wishes."

    "Money, power, girls anything you want in life, everything shall be in the grasp of your hands."

    Her lips arched up, thinking her sweet words might work.

    After all, with her experience, these things are what a man aspires the most in his life.

    Seeing her acting like this gave me goosebumps.

    In the first ce, I did not want to have any contact with someone like her but since it''s already happenedI, who cherish my new life the mostHow can I exchange such an excellent bodyguard for three empty promises?

    Looking at her whose eyes became dim seeing my nonchnt expression, I finally spoke,

    "You don''t have to act like that, there is still a way I got a simple deal? How about it?"

    Shao was perplexed but she was out of options, she had clearly lost the initiative. In dismay, she could only hear me out~

    "Fine, what''s the deal?"

    This was it, first let the other party try everything in vain, then when she thinks the situation is hopeless ....raise up her expectations.

    "It''s okay, actually this ring is called the engagement ring of a thousand miles."

    "I won''t disturb you nor will you disturb me as we live our lives like nothing happened."

    "All you gotta do is protect me in times of need, which I assure you will almost never happen."

    "And, in 90 days I will remove the ring!"

    ording to the item''s information from the system''s store, this ring will worn off on its own in 90 days anyways, better squeeze the wool while you can!

    Hearing my assuring words, Shao got up, "You are not spitting lies, right?

    Her voice was filled with excitement.

    "Of course, I have always been a man of integrity."

    My chest was upright, shoulders straightened.

    Countless times had I read how a protagonist fools a heroine with his domineering words. Compared to those who only wanted to make a big stic harem, my acting was surely impable~

    "I agree!"

    Shao instantly agreed.

    Actually, she had secretly examined the leaf print on her palm countless times but she couldn''t figure out anything.

    Unknown to Shenshah, she was a master craftsman to begin with. In the entire first hundred floors of the tower, her name was renowned as the best craftswoman.

    The number of excellent weapons and artifacts that came out of her hands was enough to soar her reputation to an all-time-high.

    It is said that the one who is most aware of one''s potential is oneself only. Basically she was sure, if she can''t see anything wrong then no one else can help her.

    As for asking help from those old craftsmens from the higher floors? She decisively refused it. How shameful will it be to ask help from others? Her name which she had earned so painstakingly will vanish in thin air if she did that.

    Therefore, when Shenshah mentioned the condition of protecting him for only 90 days, she quickly epted lest he changes his mind.

    With her realm, what is a mere 90 days?

    In a life of cultivator at her level, even 10 years pass like they were yesterday. 90 days is just a fleeting moment for her.

    Looking at her ready to cooperate with me, I felt relieved. My trick to hire an overpowered bodyguard surely worked.

    As for what happenster, we will see when 90 days are over! There''s no point in thinking about so far ahead in the future.

    x-x

    While Shenshah was talking about his cooperation with Shao, the sect master was finally free.

    She came out of the main hall. Her face was tired.

    The important guests discussed a lot of trivial things with her making her bored.

    In the end, when she thought she is gooing to lose her mind, they finally left.

    She stretched out her hands and yawned a mouthful.

    "Oh yes! Shao, just like me, must be feeling bored roaming here and there aimlessly."

    "Let''s go get her, then we will both go to eat at that famous restaurant which is recently opened on this floor."

    "Hmmmm, where is she."

    As her mental energy probed the sect to see where her dear friend Shao was, her eyes became fiercer.

    "Why is she with that useless brat?"

    .....

    A/N as per the poll done on the discord server, today two chs wille out .

 Chapter 26: Either me or him!

    Chapter 26: Either me or him!

    "No, why are both of them in Xenia''s former cave?" -Sectmaster''s body trembled as a bad premonition arose in her heart.

    She instantly teleported towards their direction.

    One may wonder that their realm is so high, so they should be able to teleport pretty easily, right?...but that was not how things were.

    Teleporting even a short distance requires a lot of internal energy and both Shao and the sectmaster, with their current level, can at most teleport twice a day through a short distance.

    She without wasting any time came in front of the cave and directly rushed in.

    As soon as she walked inside, her eyes became fiercer as her unique red gleam shone at the rims of her iris.

    There she saw Shenshah touching her best friend''s body. His unscrupulous hands first pinched her fingers, then pressed hard her palms, then even pinched her forearms. his hands were going all the way above to hold her shoulders.

    Actually, it was just an ambiguous situation. After discussing important details regarding their cooperation, Shao wanted to know that like her, who feels pain whenever Shenshah is about to be hurt, does he too feel such pain when she is about to be hurt? But the result was unfavourable. Unlike her, Shenshah didn''t feel any emotions.

    Their connection was too one-sided, with Shenshah having aplete advantage.

    The sectmaster''s chest heaved up and down so violently that she felt she almost had a convulsion.

    With all her might she shouted,

    "Shao Shao!"

    Her voice was so loud that it reverberated in the entire cave for a few seconds.

    "What?"

    "Crap!"

    Shao and I were taken aback by the sudden yell.

    "Shit, Naagina?"

    Shao was too shocked, instinctively, she was going to step back but her foot suddenly slipped.

    Kyaaaa~

    "Got you!"

    Due to close proximity, I quickly supported Shao by her thin waist.

    "Leave her instantly!"

    "I will kill you today."

    Naagina, the sect master roared.

    She was sure that this bastard definitely deceived her best friend just like he cheated Xenia. How can such a low level cultivator even dare to touch them?

    No, even though Shao alwayspetes against her, she is still her best friend who always helps her in times of need. She must save Shao from this lustful guy''s clutches -These were the thoughts that came into the sect master''s mind at lightning speed.

    Feeling her intense gaze, I almost suffocatedjust at the moment when I thought my legs would give in from her domineering aura, Shao got out from my arms and stood in front of me.

    She easily blocked the strong pressure the sect master was exuding.

    I finally regained my mobility.

    "Naagina, stop!"

    "It''s not what you think!"

    "We were just doing an experiment."

    ''Oh, now I finally know this scammy bitch''s name'', I noted the name Naagina deep in my mind.

    One day I will definitely teach her a lesson.

    "What kind of experiment?"

    "Shao Shao, I tell you this person is not good!"

    "He is a trash with no talent, look at his colourful clothes, the big gold chain around his neck that he is unting so openly, heck even his dream is to marry lots of girls to live avish life."

    "I tell you, he is very lustful and is very good at deceiving innocent girls like us."

    "Just like he tricked my promising disciple Xenia, the same way he is trying to trick you."

    Naagina''s face was flushed with anger.

    When she saw Shenshah touching Shao without any resistance, she thought that her friend was easily fooled by this bastard''s duplicitous words.

    As Shao''s best friend, Naagina knows how much her friend stays away from the opposite gender. She can be sure that Shao, given her pride and arrogance, will never allow anyone to touch her. Like her, she too used to say that we don''t need a man in our lives.

    So Shenshah must have done something to her.

    Not to forget, Shao is such a famous craftswoman who is well-known throughout the tower, what disposition does Shenshah have to get close to her?

    ording to her, Shenshah should be happy with vige girls who will die of old age, he does not have qualifications to chase after someone like Shao.

    Naagina barely calmed herself down.

    "Fine!"

    "You said you were doing an experiment, right?"

    "It should be over now!"

    "Shao get aside, I need to kill this guy."

    "Otherwise, I am worried....like Xenia, he will even steal Quanzhi!"

    Shao who was standing in front of Shenshah had her eyes twitched.

    What Xenia? What Quanzhi?she had never heard such names before. What does she have to do if they left Naagina for Shenshah?it just means that her friend is an ipetent sect leader who can''t even keep her disciples.

    "Sorry Naagina, but I can''t allow you to hurt Shenshah!"

    "You may not be able to see it but I feel his talent is good. He has a lot of potential!"

    "I took him as my personal disciple, so don''t even think about harming him."

    This was one of the key-points that Shao and I discussed in our cooperation. By dering me as her personal disciple, she can give a good reason to anyone whoes to make trouble.

    This new identity of mine was an indirect way by which Shao can keep me safe.

    "Shao, are you serious?"

    "He neither has any talent nor any special body constitution, nor any bloodline, even his aptitude is too bad. How can he enter your eyes?"

    "See what I was worried about actually happened!"

    "He already fooled you."

    "I tell you: his n is to cheat arge amount of Spirit stones from you and even take advantage of you if he gets a chance."

    I just stood there behind Shao, since I managed to hire such a powerful bodyguardthen I should trust her and leave everything to her.

    "I said enough Naagina!"

    "It''s my own will whom I want to take in as my personal disciple, you don''t have to interfere in it."

    Shao like a rock kept standing in front of Shenshah.

    There was no way, she and him seemed to be linked by that weird ring.

    If Naagina took Shensha''s life then she was afraid that she too would die because of that weird bond they shared.

    She can''t take such a big risk. Moreover, she had already promised him that she will protect him for 90 days.

    As for telling Naagina about the strange ring of Shenshah, she will never allow any third person to know about it! How embarrassing it is.as someone who ims to be the best craftswoman, she can''t even see the through the mysteries of that ring? Her face in front of Naagina will bepletely lost if she shares this news with her friend.

    Seeing her good friend block her, Naagina''s heart was so wronged. She felt sour like never before.

    Such intense feelings chewed her from inside-out.

    She closed her eyes for a couple of seconds before opening them once again.

    She decided to take a drastic approach.

    "Shao Shao, if you want to save him then we will no longer be friends."

    "You only have two choices: either me or him!"

    After speaking Naagina felt a bit relieved, she was sure that Shao would definitely choose her, the prestigious sectmaster over that trash.

    Her lips which were turned down with aggrievedness before finally formed an arc as she looked at Shenshah standing behind Shao.

    In her mind, she could already see Shao giving in.

 Chapter 27: Plastic sisterhood

    Chapter 27: stic sisterhood

    "I am sorry Naagina but I can''t abandon Shenshah."

    Unlike the sect master Naagina, who only had a single friend Shao

    Shao on the other hand, had many good friends and her sisterhood with Naagina was just made around profits by selling her newly designed weapons to her sect.

    Naagina never once felt that in Shao''s eyes: their sisterhood was so stic.

    "Shao, how.?"

    "...Are you choosing him over me?"

    With a hyperventting chest, Naagina''s face lost all her colour.

    ''Of course, if my reputation goes down because of this incident will youpensate me?''

    ''I still have to climb the tower beyond a hundred floors and be a renowned craftswoman throughout the entire tower, not just only the first hundred floors.''

    ''My ambition is bigI can only wrong you, dear Naagina!'' -Shao sneered.

    "Yes, Shenshah let''s go!"

    "As my personal disciple since you are not weed here, staying here any longer will be a p in my face."

    Naagina''s eyes at this time were bloodshot, the redness in it wanted to destroy Shenshah to the core but Shao, like a rock, was standing in front of her.

    If she fought with her here without any good reason.although she was confident of defeating Shao but it will take some time and themotion caused will be enough for all the disciples and elders toe here. Just like Shao, she too did not want to lose her face.

    In her sect, her majestic image of being a domineering sect master who always stays calm must never be allowed to be trampled with.

    So with a heaving chest, she can only bite her lips as Shao and Shenshah leave the cave.

    "Wait!"

    I, who had been quiet until now, finally spoke.

    "I want to meet Quanzhi onest time."

    "Absolutely No!"

    Naagina screamed like a rattled snake.

    "Since you dare to say I will dupe her too in our earlier conversation, then see with your eyes how everything happens."

    "Noooo, Qauanzhi can''t meet you!"

    I justughed as my tone became a little yful,

    "Just think, when I go out and tell everyone that sect master Naagina is so cold and ruthless that she doesn''t even allows Quanzhi''s best friend Shenshah, who came from so far to not even greet her?"

    "Then soon thereafter, rumours might even start spreading that the sect master of this sect is such a scammy bitch, she is such a selfish and egoist woman that even to her core disciple she tried to cheat by giving low level spirit stones saying they were the highest level spirit stones."

    "Tsk.Tsk!"

    "Dare you!"

    Hearing the tant threat in my tone, she started moving close to me but Shao, once again, instantly came in between telling her that she was still there.

    "Why?"

    "Did I say anything wrong?"

    The smile on my face never faded away.

    "Shao, let''s go meet Quanzhi!"

    I started walking towards the cave''s exit.

    Hearing my words, Shao nodded.

    To be honest, she felt happy upon seeing the inted and wronged face of Naagina. She finally felt the joy of defeating her in one way or another.

    Since Naagina is stronger in both talent and strength than her, so why not beat her in other ways?

    "I can''t believe you had such a bad insight that you let me steal such a great personal disciple of yours, just look how calm he is when facing and even mocking you. When one day he is sessful, you will definitely regret it: Why did you never cherish him?....then don''t cry!"

    -Shao spoke with smugness, she didn''t care what will happen in future, the point is Shenshah who was still a disciple under Naagina''s name willingly entered her door. What does this mean? It means his former master Naagina is ipetent that''s why he had a change of mind.

    Hearing rebutting words of both the dog man and woman, Naagina red with an even sharper look. She was panting, somehow calming herself from attacking Shao head-on.

    Shao, looking at such a provoked face of hers turned around gracefully, like a victor she too followed after Shenshah.

    Shao admitted, the taste of defeating your long-time rivals is always evergreen~

    When both Shenshah and Shao left the cave, the sect master Naagina was standing alone with a cold face.

    She thought with a calm mind,

    "Since Shao now took him as her personal disciple, with this new identity of his, I can''t openly attack him unless I have a good reason otherwise my actions will be criticised. There are already a lot of people who have been angry with my actionstely."

    "Wait, since you bastard wants to steal Quanzhi from my sectthen don''t me me for ying unfair."

    "Today, you must have thought of telling Quanzhi toe with you and at the same time give her some time to decide."

    "Moreover, Quanzhi epted some tasks. Withoutpleting them I hardly doubt she will leave as the spirit stones one could get frompleting then are pretty generous."

    "Basically, to put short, I should have some buffer time before Shenshah can make Quanzhi leave this sect just like he did with Xenia."

    And she was on point, Shenahah had only decided to meet Quanzhi out of the blue when Naagina mentioned her in the heat of the conversation.

    Shenshah knew that like Xenia, Quanzhi too had feelings for him. It was evident when she paid him a visit earlier.

    He was sure the moment he tells her the news that her best friend Xenia married behind her back while she was away on some sect tasks, she will definitely be shaken. And given some time, she will automaticallye to his door.

    As for the sectmaster influencing her? Shenshah never cared about it!.He was confident about his charm.

    He was sure Quanzhi was not so dumb to trust this bitch over him.

    "Shenshah, since you decided to y dirty, do you think by holding Shao''s thighs I will give up taking revenge on you?"

    From her spatial ring, she took out a unique voice transmission tailsman.

    By injecting some mental energy, it activated right away.

    "Master?"

    From the other side a very sweet voice came.

    The young girl on the other side knew this was a tailsman her master would activate when something was very urgent.

    "Disciple, the sectmaster needs you urgently!"

    "Leave your cultivation ande to me right away, I am standing in front of the sect''s entrance."

    "Disciple obeys!"

    The girl on the opposite side replied, her tone full of reverence.

 Chapter 28: Conspiracy!

    Chapter 28: Conspiracy!

    Naagina, after figuring out a suitable retaliatory n against Shenshah, haughtily walked out of Xenia''s former cave and started moving towards the sect''s entrance where the girl she called should soone.

    And she didn''t have to wait for long.

    A sunny girl with fair skin was seen walking towards Naagina, her autumn hairs were done in a ponytail, her sharp yet symmetrical eyebrows along with a little above average waist-to-hip ratio only added up to her beauty.

    In a well-mannered way, she arrived next to Naagina who was standing outside the sect''s entrance gates.

    "Sect master, disciple pays respect!"

    She bowed a little to show her respect for her teacher.

    Satisfied by her, Naagina nodded.

    "Let''s first walk a little ahead, where there is no one."

    "Here sect guards might eavesdrop on us."

    The girl followed after her master.

    After making sure that no one was around, Naagina finally breathed a sigh of relief.

    "Ang, you are my second most talented disciple other than Carolina."

    "But because of your physique you lost a lot of prime time so you are still stuck at Qi gathering Eight stage."

    "Hmmm"

    Ang meekly nodded, she and Carolina could be said to be the most excellent disciples Naagina ever recruited.

    But fate yed tricks with Ang, she has a special 7 year Ice-Frost Physique, those who have this physique will have their cultivation base freeze after every 7 years.

    Every time their cultivation base freezes they are unable to cultivate and this periodsts for at least 7 years before subsiding on its own.

    But the hardshipes with a benefit, the biggest benefit is those who have this physique seem to have no bottlenecks until they reach very high levels in cultivation.

    Ang had started cultivating at 12 years and reached Qi gathering Eight stage at 13 years itself but then when she turned 13 her physique''s 7 year period came and her cultivation base froze till she turned 20.

    Currently she is 19 years old, just one more year and she is confident she will straight away build her foundation.

    "Ang, since you are only studying formattions and alchemy instead of cultivating..you are perfect for this job."

    Naagina''s voice became a little slower,

    "This is a top secret mission."

    "As long as you are able toplete it, I will help you find and buy materials to suppress the side effects of your physique, no matter how expensive those rare materials areI will buy them for you as long as youplete this task, How about it?"

    Ang''s eyes were spontaneously filled with zeal.

    She knew her aptitude and talent was top-notch. The only problem was because of her physique.

    As long as she can suppress its side effects and cultivate without her cultivation base freezing every 7 years, she is sure she will surpass her senior sister Carolina in no time.

    "Master, you called the right person!"

    "Tell me what''s the mission, I will do my best toplete it", Ang spoke earnestly.

    "As expected of my amazing disciple."

    "Ang, listen closely, there is a boy named Shenshah."

    "He was in fact my third disciple but he shamelessly abandoned me and went under my rival Shao Shao''s door saying I am not a good teacher."

    "The reason you do not know about him is because he is not talented like us, he can''t even build a foundation and therefore, can only live a maximum of 200-250 years."

    "I took him in because he lend a helping hand when I was fighting against a fierce demon beast but the problem is: he is too lustful and filled with worldly desires.His dream is to open a big harem and you know what?he already stole our outer sect''s outstanding disciple Xenia and has his eyes on stealing our Quanzhi too."

    "And the most important thinghe cursed and insulted me openly, he called me ipetent, scammer, bitch and so many such bad words."

    Naagina''s voice became a little sober as she showed some remarkable acting skills.

    Hearing her master''s weak and wronged voice, Ang was instantly enraged.

    Since she was 10 years old, her master saved her from poverty, and gave her a chance to step on this road to immortality.

    Naagina is just like a mother figure to her. How can someone be allowed to wrong or insult her?

    Not to mention her identity as the sect master.

    She had already added a 10/10 score of hatred against Shenshah in her mind.

    She understood why Naagina must have called her,

    It''s her personal motto which she engraved deep in Ang''s mind since she started cultivating: nevery down and ept defeat. If the others attack once then you attack twice. You must retaliate and teach your enemy a lesson no matter what tricks you use!

    "Master, don''t worry! Your disciple Ang will take revenge against that vile brat Shenshah!"

    Ang spoke righteously as she took out her sword from her spatial ring.

    Looking at Ang, who was so excited to right away run and chop down Shenshah, Naagina grinned.

    "Ang, Nooo!"

    "He is now a personal disciple of Shao Shao, she will never let you hurt him if you approached him directly."

    "Then what should I do?"

    Ang asked hesitatingly.

    "Ang, my n is simple: you will somehow marry Shenshah, since he is looking for wives, it should be quite easy. Then from inside you will start sowing discord among his other wives and persuade them to divorce him saying he is trash, a waste who is not good for you!"

    "At the same time, you will try to earn the majority of Shenshah''s trust as his other wives start getting alienated from him. Then when he only trusts and relies on you the most....."

    Naagina made a killing gesture of slitting her throat,

    "Then you will backstab him,pletely breaking him down emotionally."

    "This is your mission!"

    Hearing such a detailed n, Ang''s face turned pale.

    ''What a big scheming!''

    ''Master''s n is so meticulous but.

 Chapter 29: A bitter truth

    Chapter 29: A bitter truth

    Ang''s entire body went numb.

    The moment she heard her sect master asking her to marry a boy she never met, she was thunderstruck.

    Tears almost glistened out of her eyes, but somehow by biting her tongue, she was able to stop them from wetting her cheeks.

    Ang had a big secret..

    She was greatly fascinated by her senior sister Carolina.

    At first, it was only a pure admiration; but then she realisedtely, she had been thinking a lot about her.

    She decided to bury this immoral feeling deep within her heart.

    But things were beyond her control.

    To make things worse, when she turned 15 years old, Carolina, one day.suddenly confessed to her.

    Like her, Carolina too was hiding her feelings but for some reason, she was too impulsive on that day and could no longer hide what was in her heart.

    Even though Ang knew it was immoral, hical, she still strongly believed what they had for each other was pure and serene.

    Both of them were very happy and hugged each other tightly. Carolina wanted to do something intimate to make their new rtionship progress by leaps and bounds but Ang, whose cultivation base was frozen till she turned 20 because of her damn physique, couldn''t help but tell Carolina to wait till her cultivation base unfreezes.

    Carolina was already a Foundation level Ninth stage expert while she was still stuck at the Qi-gathering Eight stage. At that time, she felt she was unworthy of her senior sister. Her senior sister is so high in level..while she is still so low~

    Even if they n to be together, she must at least be a foundation-level expert to stand on equal footing with her, this was her pride.

    She wanted to take things slowly so the only things she did with Carolina were asional little hugs and that too they did very sneakily as she knew her master will be very angry with them if she knew they were focussing on such things instead of cultivating whole-heartedly.

    Moreover, because of her physique she always had an inferiorityplex.

    Because of the fear of their master plus Ang''s insecurities.In the end, Carolinapromised and agreed with her that she will wait till Ang turns 20 before dering their secret rtionship to their master. Before then, they won''t do anything more than a little hug.

    As Ang recalled everything, her heart tightened as the colour on her face turned pale at an rming pace.

    She had already-long made a promise to Carolina; How can she be together with someone else?

    Plus, it''s been months since Carolina had gone somewhere ..so she can''t even discuss anything with her.

    Ang''s lips, which were wrinkled because of the sudden shock, parted as she was ready to tell her master everything.

    But before she could speak, she heard an angry shout.

    "Why are you not saying yes?"

    Naagina, who by now was pissed off, blurted her pent-up anger on her.

    Shenshah tantly mocked and threatened her while at the same time, her good friend Shao Shao backstabbed and provocatively rubbed in her face.

    And now, after pondering over, she was finally able to think of such a meticulous n to destroy Shenshahpletely from the inside but her obedient disciple was just standing in a daze?... without speaking anything?

    ording to Naagina, Ang should instantly reply- Yes Master! Disciple will try to execute your n as soon as she can.

    For a second, Naagina thought Ang might be having other thoughts, after all, who wants to marry a waste like Shenshah?.she knew she was wronging her disciple but she had no choice.

    Ang was an important chess-piece in her n.

    Only with her help can she bring down Shenshah''s arrogance.

    She wanted to see Shenshah''s helpless face when Ang managed to alienate all his wives away from him.

    She wanted to see his desperate-crying face when Anag, whom Shenshah trusted the most, backstabbed and left him alone to rot.

    And, as for Shao Shao?.didn''t Shao say that she will regret that Shenshah was no longer her disciple?

    When Shenshah falls, naturally all the responsibility will fall on his master, that is Shao Shao.

    At that time, she will personally visit her old friend andugh out aloud: How wasteful of a disciple your Shenshah is!

    But all of her revenge ns can bepleted only if Ang is willing to do it, that''s why everything can go wrong but Ang being the most important link in her scheming can''t go wrong.

    As a result, Naagina''s voice became stern as she decided to push her disciple in one go.

    "Ang!"

    Hearing such a strong yell, Ang''s shoulders subconsciously shuddered.

    "Have you forgotten? When you were 6 years old, lying on the streets in despair. When your parents had died and you were sick and had no hope to live.at that time it was me who saw your talent and saved you."

    "I tried my best to fulfill all your wishes. You used to say that I am like a mother to you!.You used to say that you will always be obedient to me!"

    "Was it all a lie?"

    "Now I need you to help me, and you are getting cold feet?"

    "That brat Shenshah insulted your sect, insulted your master, is cheating your sisters Xenia and Quanzhi, am I wrong to take revenge on him?"

    -At the end of her sentence, Naagina''s voice became sober.

    It became so soft like the world had itself abandoned her, her acting was too-notch, she decided to y the emotional card to convince Ang.

    And it was poin-on, hearing all these things that her master said, Ang''s heart became heavy.

    Yes, it was her master who was like a mother to her, who brought her out of the darkness, who brought her out of her predicament. Her master was wronged, she was mocked, she was insulted so badly..

    It was now her turn to help her. She won''t be unfilial.

    She didn''t me her master but med that vile Shenshah, who was responsible for making her master sad.

    As a result, Shenshah became the most hated person in her heart.

    She looked at her master''s face which looked like it would burst out crying the instant she said no!

    All the promises, all the things the sect master did for her.Ang knew she owed a lot to Naagina.

    It is said that all debts are easy to pay, but only emotional debts are the ones that are hardest to pay.

    Biting her lips, gritting her teeths.Ang, atst, opened her petite mouth.

    "Master, please don''t cry...."

    ".....Yes!"

    She was sessfully duped by Naagina''s acting.

    Her fake tears easily misled Ang.

    "Disciple will....."

    -Taking a deep pause, Ang eventually bit the bullet.

    "Disciple will obey the master!"

    Hearing her positive reply, a victorious smile bloomed on Naagina''s previously ashen face.

 Chapter 30: The tea-cup in Quanzhi’s hands fell down and shattered?

    Chapter 30: The tea-cup in Quanzhi��s hands fell down and shattered?

    While Naagina was guiding Angelea on how to entrap Shenshah in their conspiracy, he along with Shao was merrily walking towards Quanzhi''s cave.

    "Heyyy?"

    "Hey?"

    Seeing no response I decided to change my tone.

    "Oyeee?"

    "What''s the use of those antennae like big rabbit ears if you are still deaf?"

    Shao puffed her cheeks.

    "What?"

    She spoke in an annoyed tone, stopping in her tracks.

    In impulse, she mocked and spoke shit about Naagina but it was onlyter when she came out of Xenia''s cave, she realised that she had lost one of her important customers.

    She had been thinking of how much spirit stones she might have lost by losing Naagina as her regr weapon buyer, so she didn''t bother answering Shenshah''s call.

    But he is going too far, her rabbit ears are so cute, everyone always praises them. Lots of people are willing to die to just touch them. How dare he mock them?

    Her soft and cute Rabbit''s ears are bottom line~

    Looking at her strong gaze, I knew I might have gone far.

    "I was just saying instead of walking continuously, Why not directly teleport us? Then once I am done with Quanzhi, you can teleport me back to my house down the mountain."

    Hearing Shenshah''s innocent words, Shao sneered.

    "Hehe, seems you really know nothing!"

    "Do you even know how much energy it takes for that much teleportation? I can only teleport through a very small distance and that too just once a day. Even your scammy Naagina is the same."

    "Unless we master spacews thoroughly and breakthrough to a higher realm we can''t do such things."

    ''I see! From her words, I got the clue: their realm is high but not that high!''

    Given her grumpy mood, I didn''t bother asking her anything more as we soon arrived next to Quanzhi''s cave.

    "Is this your other girlfriend''s ce?"

    Shao asked nonchntly.

    "Go in and do whatever you want to do. I will wait outside. Remember, don''t spend much time inside, my time is limited."

    Shao red at me as if trying to warn me.

    I could understand her plight.

    She has to escort me at least a safe distance outside. Who knows if that Naagina suddenly has a change of heart andes for revenge?

    If I get hurt then she, because of our bond will by default suffer the damage.

    Without wasting any further time, I went directly inside.

    Inside, a woman in pure-white robes was sitting cross-legged, meditating diligently.

    She had her unique charm.

    Her face was clear as water, those prominent-sharp eyebrows and her silky-loose ck hairs vibed well with the dark background of the cave, making her look even more enchanting.

    "Quanzhi?"

    With a soft sound I bent a little and touched her shoulders to give a little stimulus.

    "Who dares?"

    Her eyes instantly opened.

    Feeling a sudden touch on her shoulder, she was about to take an rming position but when she saw who the culprit was, her actions paused.

    "Shenshah?"

    Her eyes were full of disbelief.

    "Is it really you?"

    Looking at her, whose eyes were staring at me so deeply as if it was a dream, I waved my right arm.

    "Of course, it''s me!"

    Hearing my affirmation, her worries subsided.

    She hurriedly got up and quickly prepared a ce for me to sit down as she started preparing tea.

    Looking at her slightly trembling body, I knew she was trying to hide her panic.

    I kept looking at her small actions and did not say anything.

    After a few minutes, she finally sat beside me and handed me a cup of tea.

    "Shenshah, so why are you here?"

    There was an unhidden smile on her perfectly oval face.

    Since thest time she visited Shenshah at his house, for some reason, his shadow became even more firm in her maiden heart.

    She regretted why she didn''t confess to him earlier? Now someone else married and stole him!

    But she can''t do anything, people are already married and expecting their first child. She will be a third wheel if she spoke out her feelings aloud.

    Maybe she might even cause a rift between Shenshah and Saharika? She didn''t want to be a home-spoiler.

    So she left his house that day and decided to cut all ties, thinking firmly in her heart that in future, she will never bother him!

    Let him live happily while she tries to live her own life.

    But no matter how hard she tries, she can''t get his picture out of her mind. At that point she realised how deeply she had already fallen.

    Whenever she thinks of Saharika happily snuggling in Shenshah''s embrace, a part of her heart hurts so bad.

    It twitches and brings so much pain

    But. at least..

    Xenia, who is just like herhaving a secret crush on Shenshah, too didn''t end up with him.

    In her biased mind, this fact alone is enough to put a sce to her agitating heart.

    Therefore, she was happy to see Shenshah.

    She thought Shenshah specially came from the vige to visit her in the sect. Last time she left in a hurry, maybe Shenshah was worried and came to see if she was okay?

    The thought that he made this journey just to see her, alone made her heart so inexplicably sweet.

    Like all women, she too is inherently duplicitous when ites to love and hate.

    Even though she said, she has cut ties and willl never see or bother Shenshah in the future, but him visiting to check on her made her face instantly rosy. How ironic!

    When there are feelings involved, no matter how good the rtionship is,petitiveness will naturally arise.

    Like Shao, who considered Naagina as her biggest rival; for Quanzhi, Xenia was her biggest rival.

    Since even her rival didn''t get Shenshah''s love then it''s okay.

    At least, she won''t be alone in the sect who failed on her first love.

    Her good sister Xenia shall apany her on this sad yet long cultivation journey.

    She will try her best to find a suitable medicine for her.

    But Shenshah''s next words were destined to spill cold water all over her little thoughts.

    I knew just like Xenia, this girl too wanted to be with me but unlike Xenia, Quanzhi was much more reserved and shy.

    Only way to stimte her was to give her a big shock.

    And a big shock is what I nned to give her.

    Taking a deep breath, I spoke in one sentence,

    "Quanzhi, I and Xenia got married yesterday!"

    Snap~

    Instantly, the tea-cup in Quanzhi''s hands fell down and shattered.

 Chapter 31: Shenshah and Quanzhi

    Chapter 31: Shenshah and Quanzhi

    As soon as the teacup from her hands fell, Quanzhi almost passed out, losing all her bnce at once.

    The sudden revtion was like a ruthless bolt of thunder; her entire body was electrified from the damage.

    Thankfully, I was sitting beside her.

    The moment I saw her losing her grip, I quickly caught her.

    "Hey, Quanzhi?"

    By pressing her shoulders firmly, I tried to shake her back to reality.

    Quanzhi''s entire world went spinning when she heard what he said.

    Xenia, her only rival in love, secretly married Shenshah yesterday?

    Her mind kept roaring, How was this possible?

    Her only sce that she alone didn''t lose on her first love was cruelly tarnished by Shenshah''s calm yet sharp words.

    Her breath became heavy, she wanted to break free.hide her head under the pillow and cry the whole night in grief.

    Her vision almost blurred out.

    She felt cheated, and betrayed by Xenia.

    Her good sister Xenia didn''t tell her anything about it, just yesterday morning she was talking to her about some trivial things.

    Their entire time, Xenia''s face, because of her broken legs was so sad and filled with sorrow, this is not an expression one who is about to marry should have.

    There was only one reason; she must be hiding too deep.

    Xenia must have contacted Shenahah secretly and yesterday seeing that the chance was right, she ran away directly and married him even though he already had a wife named Saharika.

    In an instant, her mind seemed to have guessed a thousand reasons.

    "Quanzhi?"

    Shenshah''s constant calling finally brought her back to reality.

    "Hmmm", speaking with a depressed tone she separated Shenshah''s hands that were gripping her shoulders.

    I knew she must have misunderstood.

    "Quanzhi, it''s not like what you thought!"

    If I was a dense protagonist like the one I had read in those boring books before I transmigrated, I might have let things go but no! I was not one of them!

    It was time to be direct. Otherwise, a big rift might permanently form between these sisters.

    "Your good sister Xenia didn''t cheat or betray you!"

    Hearing my soft words, a little light returned to her lifeless eyes.

    "She had her circumstances, you yourself think: she is so close to you, How can she not invite her only friend to her wedding?"

    Quanzhu agreed, except her and Shenshah, no one talked to Xenia. Her being a cripple made things even worse.

    Why will she not invite her to her wedding?

    Looking at her eyes that had now started to recover their former glow, I knew the situation was in control now.

    "She and I were targeted by our scammy Sect Master, that''s why I was forced to take her with me."

    Xenia''s mind, which was clogged before, instantly activated at a lightning speed.

    Yes, she recalled it was that bitchy Sect master who tore Shenshah and Saharika''s wedding invitation sent to her.

    Now that her head was clear, she nodded in understanding.

    ''Yes, both of them must have a strong reason.''

    Herplexion brightened up.

    She recalled how their sect master made fun of and mocked Shenshah when she went to confront her about the invitation thing, in the end, she herself was sternly scolded by her.

    Looking that the opportunity was right, I held her soft-little hands in my hands and tightened them.

    Quanzhi''s entire body jolted by my sudden attack, but before she could resist, I spoke first,

    "Quanzhi, I know you like me!"

    Hearing my words, her little protest stopped right in its tracks.

    "I know, just like Xenia, you have hidden feelings for me."

    Her eyes became as big as the moon as she even forgot to blink.

    I knew I owed these girls.

    Both Xenia and Quanzhi, having an above average talent were destined to soar high leaving me behind.

    But the more we interacted in the three years we spent, the more we appreciated each other.

    By the time I realised that my otherworldly unorthodox views about life have subtly started influencing them, it was already toote.

    The more we discussed and debated about various things in the cultivation world, the more their hearts opened towards me.

    Therefore, when I left the sect before. I knew it was very cruel of me to not even leave a goodbye behind.

    I would have left things passed had both of them managed to get over me.

    But when Quanzhi visited me after so many months at my house that day, the amount of remorse and pain in her little eyes when she learned that I was already married and was expecting my first child, was proof that her feelings were genuine.

    Those tears that day, these tears that almost came out of her eyes today could never be faked.

    Simr was the case with Xenia.

    She could have let anyone see her broken state but only Shenshah was not allowed to see her in such a miserable condition.

    Even when she was so badly injured, she still didn''t want me to see her. She still wanted to leave her beautiful image in the eyes of the one she liked.

    Had I not answered her feelings yesterday, she might have choked up from the piled-up emotional stress.

    I knew they were not casual girls.

    Since they were attracted to me, like a man, instead of running away, I must answer their feelings. I should never leave them hanging.

    "Quanzhi, there must be many things that you want to ask, but my time here is limited."

    "For some reason, I can no longere to this sect, that''s why I came here onest time to visit you before leaving."

    "There is something that I must tell you."

    Under her deep eyes, I spoke word by word,

    "What I want to tell you is that it''s okay to have feelings for me."

    Her closed heart, hearing my gentle words slowly started opening.

    "As long as you are willing to confide in me, I won''t leave you behind. I will take responsibility."

    If confidence is what her timid heartcks then I shall give her the confidence she needs.

    "Didn''t you once say, wouldn''t it be nice if me, you and Xenia could stay together forever?"

    "Now, Xenia has already married me but you are still hesitating?"

    Herpetitive nature to never lose to Xenia shall be the final straw that pushes her forward.

    -Step by step, I attacked her reservedness.

    "You know what my dream is?"

    "It''s to open a big family by marrying lots of capable wives like you!"

    "I n to have lots of children and spend my time loving my girls the most."

    To conclude, I said something a little glib, a little shameful and surely thick-skinned but it was enough to put a sweet smile on her face.

 Chapter 32: A secret plan

    Chapter 32: A secret n

    Quanzhi''s heart was half-full with sweetness and half-full with affection.

    A schr dies for a confidant; likewise, a one-sided lover dies of happiness when their feelings are being answered.

    The red clouds over her cheeks were proof of how happy she was.

    "Shenshah, are you speaking ttt-truth?"

    With some nervousness, shepleted her sentence.

    A little bit of hesitation was expected as I was pushing her in one go.

    "BeBecause if I wake up tomorrow and you say that you don''t want me anymore or you changed your mind, then.."

    "...then my heart won''t be able to take it and will break forever."

    Shenshah had already answered her feelings, now she knew it was her time to confide in him.

    But before that ..she, for onest time, still needed to hear if this was all a reality.

    Looking at her scintiting eyes containing so many emotions, I gently held her shoulders.

    "Quanzhi, me , you, this moment right here between us is as real as the air we are breathing."

    "I am running out of time, I know you still may feel conflicted whether to stay in the sect or to follow me."

    "When you look back in the future, I don''t want you to regret and think you made today''s choice in a hurry. Therefore, I won''t force you toe with me."

    "I may not be able to provide you with an outstanding future this sect can offer, I may even end up having lots of people who share a part of my heart. But the only thing you ought to know is that as long as you choose me, I will do my best so we can live happily. Together, we shall build a big family of our own and step up to the heights that we had always imagined."

    Whatever needed to be spoken was already spoken.

    Now, it was time to give Quanzhi some time.

    A buffer time where she can figure out everything and will leave this sect behind for me.

    Such things must never be forced.

    Whenever feelings of heart are being involved it''s better to give everyone involved their individual space.

    Hearing my words, Quanzhi''s eyes stagnated.

    Yes, following Shenshah meant abandoning all the spirit stones she regrly gets, abandoning the chance to be soon promoted to the inner sect and forswearing all the opportunities this top sect can provide to her.

    One must know her situation was much different from Xenia, who due to her grave injuries had long be a liability for the sect.

    Unlike Xenia, with each passing day, Quanzhi''s talent was blooming more and more.

    She was a very promising disciple, who was just a step away from building her foundation.

    Given her aptitude, just some years more and even surpassing the transformation stage was a sure thing for her.

    She took a deep breath,

    "Shenshah, do you think I am the type of woman who will care about all these things?"

    "I am not like that holy maiden of the inner sect or top 4 famous beauties of our sect that care about these materialistic stuff."

    "I, Quanzhi may be a little timid and afraid to say what is in my mind but the only thing I believe in is.What I feel in my heart!"

    "From the very first time I had feelings for you, I had long decided to follow you."

    "The reason for that hesitation you can see on my face ispletely different."

    "Oh! Then, What''s the reason then that''s still holding you toe home with me."

    Suddenly Quanzhi became a little vignt, she carefully looked to the left and right to make double-sure there was no one around.

    Earlier traces of being emotionally vulnerable disappeared although as it seemed she was about to share a great secret.

    Under my puzzled eyes, Quanzhi moved closer to me, putting her soft hands on either side of my left ear; she slowly whispered the secret that was holding her to go with me.

    At first, I thought it was not something significant but the more I heard her..the more the minutes kept passing with her sweet voice, the more my pupils kept dting.

    After she spoke everything, the fact that she held Shenshah so intimately just a second ago made her blush even harder.

    "This is great!"

    "But the thing you are doing is very dangerous."

    I would lie if I say I was not worried about hearing her shrewd n.

    "Don''t worry, I will do it only when I am fully prepared."

    In excitement, Quanzhi made a fist as she tried to reassure me.

    "Okay, I have to leave now"

    "You already know where I live."

    "Since you said it will take 15 days, I will try to prepare everything till then."

    Knowing it was time to leave, we both got up.

    Her eyes were still full of yearning but she knew she must wait.

    To give her a cherishing memory, while she was still absent-mindedly admiring me, I quickly gave her a short peck before going out.

    The touch on her lips was a momentarily feeling, by the time Quanzhi realised what had happened, Shenshah had already gone out.

    Outside the cave, Shao was eagerly waiting for me.

    I don''t know if it''s my illusion, her eyes looking at me seemed to be a bit weird.

 Chapter 33: On the way back

    Chapter 33: On the way back

    ''Oh Gosh! What a smooth talker this Shenshah is!''

    ''With that glib tongue, no wonder he already has so many girls!''

    Shao looked at Shenshah with bewildered eyes, her eyebrows kept furrowing.

    With one hand she was tightly guarding her lips while her other hand was clenched tightly like she was wronged.

    Her character was still trustworthy.

    It was not that she was eavesdropping but that damn connection that she shared with Shenshah.

    Every time Shenshah said something cheesy to Quanzhi, she too could hear it in her mind.

    At first, she thought that perhaps she was hallucinating?

    But once.

    Twice

    Thrice..

    Those cute heart-touching lines that Shenshah kept saying to Quanzhi, started appearing in her head one after another.

    But she didn''t hear what other normal sentences Shenshah spoke to Quanzhi!

    She only heard those heart-touching lovely lines.

    At this point, she was sure: she could somehow hear Shenshah''s greasy words but this was not all that.

    Just some seconds ago, she felt a soft touch on her lips like a small peck, there was no hesitation about it.

    Shenshah must have kissed Quanzhi on her lips beforeing out.

    The residual heat and warmth that Shao felt on her rosy lips made her feel as if she was the one who was being kissed.

    Her mind was in aplete mess.

    Her pure body, unknowingly got descreated because of that fuckin connection she is sharing with Shenshah?

    And worst of all, she can''t even vent her frustration or harm him lest she will too share the damage.

    Annoyed, she red at him with her big eyes while Shenshah just stood there trying to figure out the situation.

    ''Hey, what''s the deal?''

    ''Why is this rabbit girl looking at me like she wants to eat me?''

    ''I am sure I did nothing to annoy her, right?''

    "What happened?"

    "Did someone make you angry while I was talking with Quanzhi inside?"

    Shao, upon looking at Shenshah''s sincere eyes, figured it out in an instant.

    No matter how she looked at him, his expressions were the same.

    ''Wait, looking at him like this.''

    ''It seems he has no idea that I can also hear his romantic talks and even share his lover''s senses when being intimate!''

    ''If he knew about it, then he would definitely tease me and make fun of me.plus how shameful it is for me!''

    ''If this information goes out then my majestic image that is a little bit left in his eyes willpletely crumble and I may even bebelled a pervertter-on.''

    It was just a fleeting moment but Shao seemed to have thought about countless things at that very instant.

    "Nothing, it''s just I remembered something about a bad guy that made me a little angry."

    Shao''s face was slightly twisted as she uttered those words.

    She was now sure

    Must never let Shenshah know about this secret.

    Otherwise, she will die of shame!

    She only has to endure this for 90 days anyway.

    "Yeah, of course things went smooth."

    "Let''s leave now, my business here is done!"

    -Shao nodded at my words as we started walking towards the exit.

    Thankfully, on our way out, we didn''t see that scammy Naagina.

    ''She must be sulking down in some corner right? Her only friend chose her enemy''s side instead of hers, this should have given enough of a shock to her aloof heart.''

    I was not worried about Quanzhi; she was a big girl. After 15 days, she wille to me on her own when our secret n ispleted anyway.

    As we moved a considerable distance away from the sect, Shao who was docilely following me eventually spoke.

    Throughout the process she had kept her head down like she was struggling with something, so I was interested about what she wanted to talk about.

    "Shenshah, there is someone important that I must meet! We have already walked enough distance and there is no sign of Naagina! After all, she is a famous sectmaster, her pride won''t allow her to chase after a mere disciple. So you should be safe on your way back. I will meet you shortly thereafter, once my things are done!"

    Seeing some hesitation on my face, she quickly added.

    "At most, I will be back in two days."

    Hearing that, I felt a little relieved.

    Although she had promised to protect me for 90 days, she was still a free girl. If she really wanted to back down on her promise and leave giving no regards or whatsoever, then nothing could have stopped her.

    "But how will you find me? You don''t seem to know where I live, right?"

    I questioned thest thing on my mind.

    "It''s easy, with my personal disciple token that I gave to you earlier, I can sense your location as long as we are on the same tower floor."

    "I see."

    "Oh wait!"

    Just as she was about to leave, I quickly remembered something important.

    Her footsteps halted as she turned back,

    "Now what?"

    "Do you have some book or manual giving detailed information about this tower that we live in?"

    "You see, I suspect the pamphlet that Naagina gave me is not correct."

    Since that bitchy sectmaster cheated me of my spirit stones and strongly disdained me, I was sure: How can that pamphlet which she gave to me when she brought me to the sect for the first time be okay? There must be some ghosts in it too.

    "Oh?"

    "Show me what she gave to you?"

    Shao, who was initially frustrated by my calling, showed some interest.

    From my pocket, I handed her the pamphlet titled- A beginner''s guide.

    Shao took it and started reading it.

    The pamphlet which seemed a bit old due to being a little faded had only 3 pages, she finished reading it in one go.

    Sighs~

    Shao gave aforting sigh.

    Her eyes were full of sympathy as she looked at me.

    "It is good that you showed this to me or you would have been duped Shenshah."

    With a flick of her fingers, she burned the pamphlet.

    "This pamphlet is like 2000 or 3000 years old, now lots of things have changed in this tower. You can say everything in it is almost obsolete."

    "As expected of that bitch Naagina."

    A part of my mind was relieved for being quick witted.

    Had I not asked Shao to check it, I might have been duped.

    You know, unless you are a core member of the sect, that is having at least the foundation level of cultivation, information regarding the tower is not avable to you. Since I nned to leave with Xenia, Saharika and Quanzhi pretty soon, we would havepletely relied on this pamphlet for our future travel nning.

    I can''t imagine what danger we might have run into had we blindly followed this old pamphlet.

    "But you don''t have to worry!"

    "Your new master carries all the important stuff with her."

    From her spatial ring, she took out a small diary.

    "This is my personal hand written journal which contains all the important information regarding the first 95 floors which I have been to along with other important misceneous details."

    "You can keep it for the timing."

    I hurriedly catched the diary which she threw at me.

    After answering one or two more trivial things, Shao left, and not to forget, she also gave me a big capacity spatial ring; maybe she was being considerate or took real pity on me?

    But whatever the reason was at least her treatment towards her disciple was a hundred times better than that Naagina it seemed.

    I put the diary she gave me in my new spatial ring as I resumed the journey..

    While I was walking my way back home, I fell into a deep contemtion.

    No matter what reason I gave, the current world that I transmigrated to was a world where the strong rules.

    Simr situation was there back on earth but due to democracy and activities of various human right organisations, the rich people weren''t able to exploit and cheat the poor that openly.

    But here the situation was quite serious.

    As long as you have the strength, the others obey you no matter whether you are right or wrong.

    I still vividly remembered how close to death I was when I felt Naagina''s overwhelming rage for the first time...when Shao was about to kill me earlier, the palpitations sent down my heart that I may lose my everything the very next second made me realise yet once again how fragile a human life was.

    If I had enough strength or had some good background would I be bullied like that?

    I am pretty sure that as I travel to other ces, I will meet even more strong and strange people who may even be a hundred times more unreasonable.

    In future, can I stand there foolishly when someone wants my life?

    In future, can I stand there helplessly when someone who coverts my wives wants to snatch and take them away?

    Should I just weaky and powerlesslypromise everytime the situation is unfavourable?

    No matter whether you want it or not, the fact is that if you want to protect your loved one in the long run, then you have to join this power struggle.

    Even if you don''t actively look for trouble, can you guarantee that the trouble will not look for you?

    Because I can''t guarantee it.

    Even now I did nothing but had already earned the ire of Naagina, one of the prestigious sectmaster on rankings. Looking at her resentful face before leaving, an uing revenge in the near future can be very well expected.

    With such thoughts, I finally called out the only thing that was my backing in this world.

    ''System, are you there?

    ''Can you hear me?''

    ....

    A/N : Although I had already mentioned in my other books, I will say it here again as many of you asking why there is no nee ch- Since I am on a vacation(break), don''t expect regr chs for atleast a month or so.

 Chapter 34: Unintentional Yuri in a harem is a MUST NO!!!!

    Chapter 34: Unintentional Yuri in a harem is a MUST NO!!!!

    I didn''t know if I would get a response from the system, but in my head, I still exined all my worries, expecting a reply from it!

    And Perhaps the Lady Luck was on my side, I was not disappointed.

    The very next second I got a reply.

    [The system understands the host''s concern. The system''s fate is already linked to the host and it will disappear too in case the host perishes...Hearing the thoughts of the host..the system hase to a conclusion that the initial model chosen because of the default settings is not suitable for you.]

    Hearing the system''s words, my mood was instantly ted. As long as the system is cooperative enough, I was confident of oveing all future adversaries.

    ''Initial default model?''

    ''What do you mean? Please exin thoroughly.''

    This time I don''t know if it was my delusion, but I felt the system''s voice was much more feminine from the previous mechanical voice, but it was still quite hoarse and breaking in between so it was hard to point anything out.

    [Understand, the system shall exin everything to the host.]

    After a few seconds of silence, I finally started hearing the exnation.

    [As the host knows, the system bound the host while he was crossing over to this new world. It was a pure coincidence as this system was looking for a suitable host at that time. But when the system sessfully bonded, it realised the host was trapped in a spatial storm and had already lost his consciousness.]

    [At that time, because the host''s life was in grave danger and the mind was unstable to give any suitablemand, so the emergency algorithm was initiated resulting in the usage of all reserved energy to make a forcednding, as a result, the system fell into deep slumber till the host started recovering the required energy by marrying and sleeping with his wives.]

    [When the system started recovering its energy, it was still in a weak state and thus was not able to reply to various host''s queries. Moreover, because of this, the default model where the host gets cultivation experience by marrying lots of wives and having lots of children was activated.]

    ''Okay, keep going.''

    I patiently heard everything carefully so as to not miss a single detail.

    [The current model is- Happily marry wives and have lots of children, here the feedback of cultivation experience depends upon the overall talent of the female the host marries plus the overall talent of the offspring that is respectively born. Overall talent involves everything- aptitude, spiritual roots, any special body constitution, destiny, luck, and lots of other misceneous things. The best advantage of this model is that it has no restrictions or side effects.]

    [Other than this there are 4 more models.]

    [Does the host want to see them in case he is unsatisfied with the current settings?]

    I thought for a moment.

    Although current model seemed good, I was after all, a person from the modern world.

    Following this model, I can indeed make a big harem, but I very well knew the troubles of having a big harem.

    From my rich experience of reading many cultivation novels, I had longe to the conclusion that a big harem is always a trouble. With so many women around you, you can never give attention to a particr one. And slowly by slowly, they will start feeling aggrieved.

    Each woman wants to have their own time with their husband. This is their right when they marry you and you can''t take it away from them.

    Moreover, with a big harem, How can one physically satisfy all the women? A happily married woman not only needs mental satisfaction but also physical satisfaction for the marriage to be rock-solid.

    Some might argue, just get some cheat like an overpowered dragon bloodline or a dual cultivation physique with which you can have sex non-stop with all your women, no different from some degenerate orgies.

    But because of doing such group activities, over the passage of time, your women will develop feelings for each other more and more.more than a normal wife should have for other wives.

    And since the harem is big and many women are left unsatisfied and unattentive for a long time, they will eventually start finding each other to spend their daily life. It might start as deepening of their sisterhood initially, butter. they might start sleeping with each other. After all, no one wants to feel lonely.

    And a point will definitelye where the harem is intimate with each other even without Mc''s presence.

    This is the start of unintentional Yuri in a harem and by the time mc realises what is actually happening in his harem, it is already toote and the authors in those cultivation stories will always avoid this topic.

    This unintentional yuri in a harem must be avoided at all costs in my future harem.

    ''Please borate other models.''

    Since we were at it, it was better to see all the options to avoid having any regret in future.

    [Understand]

    [The second model is:- The Plunder Model- Here the host marries his wives and can plunder their overall talent by sleeping with them. After sleeping together, the wife will be a ve to the host. She will lose any independent thinking and will obey you unconditionally.]

    ''Hiss~

    ''This sounds just like those evil dual cultivation techniques.''

    My pupils dted as I heard the system words, this model was quite evil.

    My character has still not fallen so deep that I will choose such a model. Although it guaranteed a peaceful and monotonous harem, choosing this was no different then marrying some soulless puppets.

    [The third model is:- The Overlord Tyrant Model- Here the host marries his wives, then together they willmit all sorts of evils while keep expanding their territory at the same time. The more notorious the crimesmitted by the couple the better the cultivation experience feedback will be.]

    ''Next one.''

    This one again was a direct pass from me. Bing a viin for no reason? I won''t be choosing this

    [The Fourth Model:- Many Children and Many Blessings Model- Here the cultivation experience feedback doesn''t depend upon the wife''s overall talent. All the host needs to do is keep having lots of children. The more the number of children the more the feedback for the host.]

    ''Nahh!''

    This one was also not suitable. If I follow this then I will directly be a stallion, whose only job is to keep breeding to produce more offsprings.

    Who knows how many children I need to have to raise my realm. Perhaps in hundreds or even in thousands just to raise small levels?

    Not to forget, following this model, I won''t be able to give any attention to the women I married as my sole attention will be to make them pregnant, then moving on to the next to make the other pregnant.

    ''Tell thest one.''

    [Thest one is the :- Hybrid Restrictive Model-

    Here the host has to pre-select how many wives he will marry in future. Here the feedback reward will only depend upon the happy time the couple spent together along with the territory the host develops for his future family. The host can also get feedback from producing many offsprings regardless of their overall talent.]

    [Since in this model, the host can earn the same amount of rewards as the other models where the rewards are mostly dependent on the wife''s and the offspring''s overall talent, a restriction is ced on the host.]

    [The host''s family will only be able to produce male children. The ability to reproduce female children will be taken from the host.]

    [Does the host want to change the current model?]

    **[Please Note- System Store and Missions tabs won''t be affected by the change in the model.]**

    **[Please note the choice once selected is irreversible.]**

 Chapter 35 A beauty named Angela? Side Mission?

    35 A beauty named Ang? Side Mission?

    Ipletely ignored the girl who was desperately holding my legs and started reading the systems notifications.

    Why? Because the notification this time was quite big, I knew it was definitely something very important.

    [Side Mission Generated - Make Ang your own and change her way of thinking!

    Mission summary:- It''s detected that the sectmaster Naagina was heavily dissatisfied with the host''s previous behaviour and found her core disciple Ang who has a special 7 year Ice-Frost Physique to plot against you.

    In the end, she came up with a n to let Ang appear as a pitiful and sympathetic woman in front of you, her sole aim will be to enter your household as your legal wife then incite disdain and promote instability amongst your current harem. She will try her best to alienate all your other wives from you, forcing all of your family to separate altogether, so that you can solely depend on her both emotionally and mentally, and when the time is right, she will give a p in your face and abruptly leave you.

    When this n is sessfullypleted, both Naagina and Ang will appear andugh at you unceremoniously bragging how easy it was to ruin you and your childish happy family dream.]

    [There is a special case with Ang, she seems to have deep feelings for the sect''s current Holy Maiden- Carolina��.and both of them have promised each other to be openly together once they are 20 years old.]

    [The side mission is big so it will have various Objectives for sessivepletion.

    Objective 1- Enmity shall never be forgotten.

    -Fool the sectmaster Naagina and Ang into thinking that their n is working fine while you keep a low profile and keep raising your strength secretly. When the time is right, you shall teach them a proper lesson.

    Objective 2- Sessful corruption.

    Slowly and subtly start influencing Ang, and make her fall head over heels for you.

    Objective 3- The cruelest Revenge is not hate but forgetting.

    Since Ang decided to take part in such a vicious n to destroy your family; How can the host lie back?

    -Change Ang''s thinking and make herpletely forget Carolina.

    Make her whole-heartedly believe that Yuri in a harem is a big sin, as in a harem, only the husband should have the wife''s utmost devotion and affection.]

    [Since the side mission is very important to take revenge and maintain the host''s dignity, no definite time period is provided toplete the mission.]

    [Since the side mission has 3 objectives- 3 appropriate rewards will be provided to the host.]

    [ **Please note there are only ten levels of formattion mastery in the current world.] n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om

    [Reward 2- Increase in overall talent level from the current F+ to C+. Increases cultivation speed by at least a thousand times and reduces the amount of cultivation experience required for sessive breakthroughs to the new realm while at the same time reducing the chances of a failure while breaking through.]

    [Reward 3- Aplete set of privacy and security updates for the system. Includesplete set of Activation of Antivirus, Antispyware and AntiMalware.

    ***As the host knows the cultivation world is very cruel and the path to Immortality is filled with countless adversaries. It is destined to face various strong and jealous enemies on this prestigious road.

    **Antivirus update- **Gives exclusive immunity to the host against any type of life-threatening poisons.

    **Gives a special immunity to the host, his wives and his direct descendants against any curses, hexes, and other weird witchcrafts.

    **Antispyware update- It ismon in the cultivation world for the strong people to calcte weak people who might be big shots in the future.

    For example, by just knowing a person''s name, using divinists and other simr astronomers it is possible to know a lot of information about the said person as long as the appropriate prices are paid.

    Increase in aptitude for easy future cultivation?��.Formattion mastery to protect your house and the area you develop?��.Theplete set of AntiMalware, AntiSpyware, AntiVirus system updates��.

    As for giving up this Side Mission? No, just look at the rewards; only a fool will give up this mission.

    This was a once in a lifetime chance and I must grasp it!

    But after checking these rewards, my eyes narrowed as I once again looked at the mission''s summary shedding light on Naagina''s and Ang''s conspiracy.

    ''Very good!''

    ''Such a vicious and insidious method to destroy me and my family?''

    A deep sneer almost appeared on my face which I managed to hide at the veryst second.

    This bitch Ang was still holding my legs, must not let her feel even a tinge of suspicion!

    "Gentleman?"

    "Gentleman?"

    Ang was repeatedly calling my name thinking I was ignoring her.

    Without any visible change in my facial emotions, my eyes moved on to her.

    "Girl, what happened?"

    "Why is a beauty like you crying so miserably and tightly holding my thighs?"

    "Sir, Sir!"

    Taking deep breaths in quick session, Ang tried her best to act professionally.

    "Sir, I came from a far-away ce. My family was overnight attacked by bandits, who killed everyone mercilessly.

    Only I managed to run away but those bad people kept chasing me. In the end, I somehow got away while suffering various injuries along the way."

    Her voice broke in the end as she wept even more loudly.

    All of this was told to her by Naagina.

    Although Shenshah was also one of her core disciples, she never allowed him to meet her other core disciples.

    As for Ang and Carolina, their identity was sensitive because of their extraordinary talent so most of themon people in the sect were unaware about their real names. So even though they were from the same sect, it was normal for Shenshah to not know anything about Ang.

 Chapter 36 Then let’s act along

    36 Then let��s act along

    A delicate beauty, pitifully hugging your feets and crying her heart out; this picture might touch anyone''s heart.

    But I, who had already read everything from the mission''s information, knew how big the conspiracy behind it was.

    Although I was not a kind-hearted person, I was also not an evil and cold-hearted viin.

    I only followed the simple principle in my life- Mind your own business. But if still, peoplee looking to disturb my peaceful life for whatsoever reason then don''t me me for showing no mercy.

    I had already decided in my mind to make Ang mine.

    Let all these conspirators have a taste of their own medicine.

    "Oh, so that''s the reason you are in such a miserable condition!"

    With a deep sigh, I expressed my fake sympathy.

    "Yes, yes Sir!"

    "Those bandits killed everyone in the vige, I escaped with great difficulty."

    "Now, I don''t know what to do!"

    "Woooooooo��. Wuuuuvvvvhhhhh!"

    Ang eximed.

    "Sir, I have nowhere to go."

    "Everyone close to me is already dead."

    "I have no talent for cultivation, as a mortal my only fate is to fend for my pitiful life."

    With a deep light in her eyes, she got up and held my hands.

    "Sir, you will not abandon me, right?"

    "I can be your maid, your wife, your concubine, your ve, anything you want me to be. I only need a ce to stay."

    Seeing me quiet, she once again clumsily spoke.

    "Sir, if you abandon me...."

    "....I��I will kill myself."

    Some words were taught to her by Naagina while some she thought herself.

    Yes, that was the n.

    Ang was pretty confident that because of her special 7-year Ice-Frost Physique, she willpletely look like an ordinary mortal without any cultivation base.

    "Once you cry a little in front of males and slightly touch their disgusting skins, their hearts will bepletely filled by your picture. At that time, just tell them that if you do not obey her, you will directly kill yourself andmit suicide. And afraid of losing you, they will be your licking-dogs. Only in this way can you fool and ruin simple people like Shenshah."

    -These were the exact words Naagina told Ang before leaving her there.

    After speaking everything clumsily, Ang was filled with pride. n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om

    ''Sure enough, my acting skills are top-notch.''

    ''Just need to make trouble at this stupid''s home andplete my master''s revenge then, atst, I can reunite with my dear Carolina.''

    Ang''s thoughts were flying.

    She was already imagining the picture of Shenshah sitting dejectedly in a corner as all his wives left him.

    I took a deep breath.

    ''Tsk Tskk��.''

    ''These crocodile tears.''

    ''What mortal? Oh, dear, you have a special physique which is very good for cultivation as long as top-notch resources and enough time is provided.''

    ''And do you think with such unreal acting you can fool me? Look at how your voice is trembling.''

    ''A beauty like you in the middle of the forest approaching me so aggressively and telling me her story on her own plus asking me to be responsible and take her with me?''

    Even if I did not have a system, I would really be a fool if I believed what shit you said.

    No perhaps, if I was like a protagonist in those rightful novels. I might have ignored the information provided by the system and diligently started helping her.

    ''Let her think her acting is impable.

    Since she likes to act then follow her in the y.

    Whenter she realises the truth, she will have no face left to hide her embarrassed side. The fool was her all along.''

    "Oh, since you have nowhere to go, Why note with me?"

    "Me and my wives are very kind-hearted people. You can stay with us with peace of mind until you figure out what to do!"

    Like a person with a noble heart, I put forward my deceitful words.

    ''Hehe, sure enough, it''s just like what the master said.''

    ''This poor guy is too stupid. He really doesn''t deserve his wives Xenia and Saharika.''

    ''My first part of the n: to enter his house with a meaningful identity, is alreadypleted, Haha!''

    Hearing Shenshah''s words which Ang wanted to hear from the start, her heart was filled with inexplicable joy.

    She couldn''t stopughing out aloud in her head.

    16:52

    Only by sheer will was she able to control the victorious smile that was continuously trying to creep on her delicate face.

    Now that her first objective wasplete, Ang quickly separated from Shenshah.

    Holding his hands to act pitifully was already too much for her.

    In her mind, she repeatedly said sorry to her dear Carolina for touching a vile man saying it was only because of their master''s n and she had no other intention.

    "Then I will follow you from now on."

    "Please take care of me!"

    Ang once again showed her signature clumsy smile which she thought was perfect.

    "Sure, let''s go."

    "We are already runningte!"

    Without giving Ang any time to react, I, who was already in such close proximity, put one of my hands below her knees and the other on her waist lifting her up altogether.

    "Heyyyyy"

    "Whattt areee you doinnnn?"

    Ang tried to yell, but before her words could bepleted, she was thrown up in the air.

    Bending a little, with my cultivation base it was quite easy to catch Ang on my back.

    Yes, the moment I decided to take her along, I nned to carry her on my back.

    With my strong hands supporting her buttocks, I quickly stabilised her figure on my back.

    "Don''t scream unnecessarily."

    "Put your hands on my shoulders and straddle my waist with your legs for proper grip or you will fall down."

    Ang, who was thrown in the air and then caught on Shenshah''s back, was taken aback. Her figure was still moving to and fro in the air, Shensha''s arms had only stabilised her lower body, her upper body was still in a state of unbnce.

    Afraid that she might fall the very next second, hearing Shenshah''s words, without wasting any second, she subconsciously did what he said.

    It was only then when she straddled his waist with her long legs and put her hands on his broad shoulders did she feel safe.

    But then she realised what she did.

    She touched someone other than her lover Carolina so intimately.

    The thought that this disgusting man touched her perky buttocks made her almost puke.

    Unimaginable amount of rage filled her heart��.

    In anger, she opened her petite-little mouth,

 Chapter 37 Those fleshy buttocks

    37 Those fleshy buttocks

    "Why did you touch me like that?"

    "Why are you holding me like this?"

    With a little anger which she was unable to hide even after repeated tries, Ang uttered those words.

    A girl who is in love with someone else...

    When being touched upon by someone other than her lover so intimately, her showing such a strong response was long expected by me.

    "Ohh, I saw your clothes were tarnished from the corners. Your appearance seemed so pitiful and body malnourished like you haven''t eaten for a long time."

    "Not to forget, your head and heart are in aplete mess. Since you lost your family because of those damn bandits, you definitely must be very sad."

    "I am afraid that you might faint. Therefore, I put you on my back."

    "With me carrying you, there''s no need to worry about you fainting because of excess stress."

    Just like those maniptive online shows which mix ck and white, Shenshah''s words were filled with half truths and half lies.

    The ability to mix ck and white was one of the most fundamental talents that a person struggling in the modern world must learn if he doesn''t want to get cheated.

    And that was what happened, hearing his words Ang was in aplete fix.

    She wanted to say no but she didn''t had a valid reason.

    "But still holding me like this��.your wives may misunderstand."

    Refusing to give up, Ang replied yet again.

    "Oh, don''t worry about them."

    "In fact, they will be very happy upon seeing such a picture. They will even yell out in excitement saying I already found a new wife."

    "Hahah!"

    "Butt"

    Ang''s face was tangled, Shenshah had already started walking carrying her on his back.

    "No buts"

    "Or all those words��.when you said you want a home? Were all those lies?"

    "If not, sit obediently on my back."

    Listening to Shenshah''s words this time which seemed to carry a bit of an overwhelming tone, Ang''s mouth was eventually shut.

    Yes! If she still insisted on him to drop her down, then will he be suspicious? Doesn''t it mean he will realise that all her previous words might be a lie?

    Then, all her efforts uptill now will be wasted.

    Her mission will fail even before starting.

    No! She can''t show her losing face to her master and her Carolina.

    Gritting her teeth, she increased the grip over his shoulders.

    She looked down and saw how defenseless his neck was.

    For a moment, she wanted to bite that white neck of Shenshah''s.

    Inserting her teeths and tearing apart arge chunk of flesh from his neck, and bleeding him to death.

    She badly wanted to do that.

    Feeling her nails slightly piercing my broad shoulders, I knew the beauty on my back was having bad thoughts.

    Intentionally, I jumped a little as my hands held her perky buttocks even more tightly.

    "Oh sorry, the road is a bit bumpy. Don''t worry with me holding you firmly you won''t fall."

    Hearing his gentle and righteous words, Ang almost screamed.

    It was like someone was kneading and pinching her buttocks.

    All her life, she hadn''t hated anyone so much like this before.

    ''Fuck you bastard!''

    ''Fuckinnn fuck you! Just wait till I reach your home then I will separate your loving family��then I will see if you can speak calmly like this.''

    -For the first time in her life, Ang''s mind was full of swearing.

    Due to Shenshah, walking so fast intentionally on pebbles and small rocks, such a situation was repeated over and over again.

    It was only at this point Ang realised something very important. n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om

    Her body was close��..

    Way too close to Shenshah''s.

    His strong masculine smell even if she didn''t want to,

    had already drifted into her nostrils.

    For the first time, she smelled the scent of a male.

    Unlike Carolina''s sweet and calming smell, this scent was like an invader, trying to engrave its presence deep within her mind.

    Tears almost dripped down her eyes.

    ''Oh Carolina, I am so sorry!''

    ''I am sorry I smelled the scent of a male other than you.''

    ''Please forgive me! He touched and kneaded my buttocks which you always used to tease for being so fleshy and attractive. But I did not want it to happen.''

    16:53

    ''Don''t worry my dear Carolina. Once the master''s task is done, I will personally tear his vile body into countless parts and feed it to wild animals.''

    With a strong determination, Ang closed her eyes and let Shensha''s unscrupulous hands asionally knead her buttocks.

    After enduring for more than an hour, they finally reached their destination.

    Seeing that we have reached the vige, I gently put down Ang.

    I don''t know if it was my delusion but I felt I saw fire in her eyes.

    Anyways, the feeling of touching her buttocks was really amazing.

    Different from Saharika and Xenia, the sticity and coldness her skin provided upon touch showed how good her body was.

    "My house is at the left-most corner bordering the forest."

    "Hmm", Ang nodded and obediently followed behind him.

    If Shenshah hadn''t put her down before entering the vige, she swore she would openly cry.

    No way can she let anyone see her having such a close contact with this vile man.

    What if those vigers spread rumours about her and Shenshah.

    The biggest thing she was worried about were these damn rumours. She was afraid that these talks might spread into the ears of her lover Carolina.

    Because of Carolina not being present in the sect before departing, she wasn''t able to exin anything to her.

    She didn''t want her partner to misunderstand and think she is cheating on her.

    Moreover, if Sheehan carried her like this to his home, the embarrassment when Saharika and Xenia see her like this.....it''s too much!

    She would never have allowed such things to happen.

    ''Thankfully, this stupid boy at least has some sense and is not a bad guy. He put me down at the right time.''

    Ang was unaware. Perhaps, this was one of thest times she had free time to think about Carolina.

    Under Shenshah''s obvious pursuit for how long can she save herself? Sadly, she was unaware of any such thoughts.

    Like this, like a sheep waiting to be ughtered, she entered Shenshah''s house.

 Chapter 38 Deceitful Ice Sect!

    38 Deceitful Ice Sect!

    As soon as I and Ang entered my house, the scene inside left me speechless.

    "You have toe with me!"

    "Only at our sect can you start a new life and be someone great!"

    A woman in a light blue dress was holding Xenia''s hands firmly and trying to drag her away from the chair she was sitting at.

    "Nooo!"

    "I only want to stay with my husband."

    "You can''t force me to leave!"

    Xenia was trying her best to stop the woman from pulling her off the chair. N?v(el)B\\jnn

    Saharika too was holding onto Xenia so that she was not taken away.

    "Men are all wild animals, only by staying with us can you live a long life."

    "Otherwise, I am going to use force if you still resist me."

    The woman''s words were quite sharp, she exuded a strong breath.

    It was clear she was a cultivator belonging to the early eight stage of Qi-gathering.

    My blood pressure soared, this unknown woman wanted to kidnap my Xenia so openly in damn daylight.

    "Stop, get away from my wife!"

    My words were imbued with spiritual energy ate Eight stage Qi-Gathering should have, sensing a strong aura, the woman was taken aback.

    "Youuuuu!"

    "You are his husband?"

    The woman in a light blue robe spoke hysterically.

    Muscles on her face twitched uncontrobly, for she knew it would not be so easy to Xenia away.

    Without giving any further time to react, I rushed to Xenia and pushed away the hand of the unknown woman that was trying to pull Xenia.

    "Who are you, and why do you want to take away my wife?"

    My pitch was much higher than usual, the hostility was unhidden.

    "Husband, wuvvvvv! She wants to take me away to the Ice Sect!"

    Xenia held by hand with all her might.

    "Yes, husband, this woman broke into our house and after forcefully checking sister Xenia''s spiritual roots with a device she brought, she said she will take her away."

    Saharika too clinged to my other free hand.

    Their faces were full of panic, their eyes were almost blurred with tears that were forcefully held down from falling.

    How can they resist someone with such strength?

    Had I been even a few minuteste, I dare not imagine the consequences.

    My eyes narrowed at the unknown woman.

    But the woman didn''t panic.

    With a proud face, she answered my query,

    "I am Leona from the Ice Sect!"

    "Her mother was a great Elder of our sect who died while exploring a secret realm. For some reason, she had sent her newborn child here to the Immortal Paradise on the second floor, and deliberately hid this news."

    "As soon as we learned about this news, I was dispatched to fetch her from the Immortal Paradise Sect, but I was informed she had already left the sect and is living in a vige nearby."

    "Therefore, without wasting any time, I came here and checked her spiritual roots."

    The smile on Leona''s face further intensified.

    "And, as expected of the daughter of a Great Elder, she has got a special type of top-grade ice spiritual roots."

    "As long as she practise the core ice manual of our sect, she will soar high in the sky, her cultivation speed will make countless envious."

    "Now, you understand?"

    "You are in her way, her future is limitless."

    "How can a weak talent like you keep up with her?"

    There was a sneer on the side of her face.

    Hearing those words, the grip of Xenia on my right hand became even more firm.

    Perhaps seeing me motionless, her confidence was further boosted.

    Leona continued,

    "As you know the Ice Sect is the number 6 sect in the Sect Rankings with a big side branch at floor 89 and main branch at floor 145, where only the most outstanding women practise."

    "Her talent is so outstanding and suitable for our cultivation techniques, my sect will never let her go, so you better let her leave with me!"

    After speaking everything in one go, Leona leisurely put her hands on her hips.

    She thought the boy in front of her was already intimidated and was scared out of wits that''s why he was standing motionless.

    She is a core disciple, whenever she mentions the name of her sect, everyone has to give her a face.

    Ice Sect is a top force in the tower which has always ranked top 10 in sect rankings.

    She was sure that this boy in front of her would himself offer his wife to her.

    But reality was bound to disappoint her.

    "That''s it?"

    I patted Xenia''s trembling hands that were desperately sticking to me.

    Feeling the gentle soothing, Xenia''s tears eventually started falling,

    "Husband, I don''t want to leave you!"

    "I don''t care about all these things as long as I can be with you."

    "Don''t worry, with me here, no one can take you away."

    Bending down a little, I kissed her forehead to reassure her.

    Xenia''s heart, which was agitated like never before, receiving her lover''s gentle-reassuring kiss, atst, calmed down.

    ''Ice Sect!''

    ''How can I not know it?''

    ''This is the most disgusting and hateful sect that I have seen when I used to read all those cultivation novels.''

    When I used to read cultivation novels, this Ice sect was the one which I always hated.

    In all good stories, arrogant women from this sect wille down to separate the lovers and then they will brainwash the kidnapped woman, instigating her with beliefs that their ice sect is much more important than her husband-wife rtionship.

    All the arrogant women there, who would be thousands of years old virgins, will try their best to make sure the husband never meets the newly kidnapped disciple.

    Plus, with the passage of time, even when the husband managed to reunite with his lover, the wife''s personality with repeated brainwashing and subtle influencing had already changed from previous cheerful to cold and heartless type.

    All in all, this Ice Sect was definitely not a good thing!

 Chapter 39 Only those who have felt the pain of betrayal can understand!

    39 Only those who have felt the pain of betrayal can understand!

    Ang, who stood at the door, watched the y that unfolded in front of her eyes full of interest.

    Her head was full of thoughts.

    ''Awesome, it seems there is already tension at the house. It will be much easier for me to fan the mes.''

    ''If Shenshah refuses this Leona who wants to take Xenia away with her, he will face the ire of the entire Ice Sect.''

    ''Leona already said that Xenia has a special cold ice physique which is perfect for the core cultivation manual of their sect. You do know a core cultivation technique is the foundation of a sect, and for a big sect like Ice Sect which has always ranked 6 on the Sect Rankings, you can expect how great their most profound-core cultivation technique should be.''

    ''Since Leona mentioned this, it means elders from her sect long expected Xenia to be also talented like herte mother. Their willingness to teach her core technique means that they n to cultivate Xenia as one of their saintess, they will invest in her to the fullest and tie her with the sect. Given their expectations and her talent, Xenia should be a strong person in future.''

    ''There''s no way this Shenshah can protect his wife.''

    Ang''s face was full of ridicule as she examined the situation.

    I took a deep breath and patted Xenia''s arms that were clinging to my right sleeve.

    Bending a little, I gently held her trembling shoulders.

    Feeling the gravity of the situation, Saharika made some space, standing at some distance from us.

    "Xenia, my wife!"

    "Listen to me!"

    With a loud shout, I was the focus of everyone''s attention.

    "Yes, as you know, following this woman to Ice Sect, you might be able to recover your legs."

    "You might be able to recover your cultivation base and perhaps even achieve great benefits."

    "It''s almost sure to say that you heck might even be someone most cherished and doted upon!"

    "No you probably will definitely soar to new heights!"

    "But choosing so might separate us!"

    "I know I should be selfish and outrageously deny, but I want to hear your opinion."

    17:01

    "If you really want to leave me and go, then I won''t stop you, but if you say that you want to stay with me....even if the stars fall, even if thend we stand on disappears, I assure you I will never let go of your hand."

    After I spoke, there was pin-drop silence.

    At this moment, whether it was Ang full of capricious thoughts, Leona with her arrogance, and even Saharika who was full of love for her husband, all of them looked at Xenia to see what decision she will make.

    ''Haha, such a big opportunity, who in their right mindwould say no?''

    Leona just chuckled lightly as if she knew what decision Xenia will make.

    ''Sister Xenia, it''s okay! If you decide to leave our husband, I won''t me you! Everyone has a dream and aspiration they want to follow. Instead of staying with us and regretting for the rest of your life, it''s better to go! Since the husbandasked about your opinion it means he respects your wishes!''

    Saharika took a deep breath, a part of her still felt sad upon thinking to separate from her new sister.

    ''This is best! Hehe!''

    ''I don''t even need to do anything and one wife is about to leave this trash boy who angered my master!''

    ''Go Xenia! Go!''

    ''Just say yes and I will be the first to support you!''

    -Angughed out aloud in her little head.

    Xenia took a deep breath, she waited for a full five seconds before a beautiful smile bloomed on her face.

    Even though she was sitting on her wheelchair, her calm demeanor wasparable to a fairy.

    With her soft hands, she held Shenshah''s pair of big hands.

    She could feel the sweat on them, realising that like her, he too was tensed, she very well understood his emotions that were even more turbulent than hers. Yes, she understood that as a husband, he wanted the best for her, but at the same time, he wanted to kind of monopolize, kind of selfishly keep her tied tohim, after all, who wants their wives to leave them, but this selfishness of his, he kept hidden.

    He still asked her what she wanted!

    He respected her wishes. This touched something deep within her heart.

    This inexplicable sweetness brought a rejoicing smile on her previously saddened face.

    Xenia''s increased her grip over his nervous hands.

    Her head was clear, her heart hadn''t beat so loudly before.

    When all the people in the sect left her, only Shenshah was the one who didn''t despise her broken legs.

    Only he was the one who didn''t mock or tell her that her future life was now useless. N?v(el)B\\jnn

    Without any prejudice, he married her and brought long-cherished happiness in her gloomy life.

    "My husband!"

    "You don''t have to put a righteous face and ask about my opinion any further!"

    "On the day I married you, I promised to heaven and earth that I will always love and follow you for the rest of my life!"

    "It doesn''t matter if my mother was some great elder of the infamous Ice Sect!"

    "It doesn''t matter if I have some special Ice physique!"

    "Even if my limbs can be repaired��..Even if I can walk again or be some saintess after joining the Ice Sect, if the condition is that I will be separated from my husband then I don''t want it!"

    The moment became emotional as Xenia''s eyes almost blurred,

    "Only those who have been cheated and have felt the sour taste of betrayal can know the true worth of some sacred things, and this bond of husband and wife between us is exactly that sacred thing."

    It is said that once someone starts talking from the heart, courage automatically startsing, and so was the case with Xenia,

    "Therefore, unless you beat me up and throw me some ce far-away, I won''t leave you!"

    "So what if I can''t walk for the rest of my life?��Like a leech I will be pasted to you as long as I live!"

 Chapter 40 Fear of being silenced

    40 Fear of being silenced

    Leona''s eyes looked coldly at Shenshah, who was embracing onto Xenia tenderly. n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om

    "Hey, hey... embrace each other tightly as this will be yourst time."

    "Perhaps, you can consider this myst good will, Xenia, with your excellent physique the elders will be very pleased."

    "It is almost a sure fact that you will be raised as a saintess."

    "It''s sad that you seem to have lost your chastityst night which may cause a little dy in practicing the core ice cultivation technique of our sect, but it''s okay��. as long as you don''t have any physical contact with the opposite gender in the future, everything should be fine.

    Leona was already imagining how much rewards she would reap once she sessfully brings Xenia back to the sect.

    Although Shenshah''s cultivation of thete 8th stage of qi gathering took her aback for a second, it was still within tolerable limits.

    Maybe this boy got some fortuitous encounter or may have been fed lots of elixirs by his master.

    She already believed that he will definitely send Xenia back with her as only the ice sect is willing to treat Xenia''s broken legs and can let her be reborn like a phoenix.

    All the tender moments between the couple in front of her meant nothing.

    In her eyes, as long as the benefits are good, who won''t be willing to enjoy the auspicious wine?

    "Also, I will pay you 200 high grade spirit stones as apensation from the sect, as I hardly think you will be able to see your wife again in future."

    -Leona spoke arrogantly to Shenshah without caring about anything.

    She was only at the early 8th stage of qi gathering but the arrogance in her bones were full to the extreme.

    If Shenshah''s cultivation was not higher than her, then she wouldn''t even bother this chit-chat and have long forcefully taken Xenia with her.

    But Shenshah''s next words were bound to incite her anger,

    "Who said that Xenia will leave?"

    "Didn''t you hear what this girl said?"

    "Xenia just now said that she is not interested in your so-called ice sect nor in any saintess you guys n to make her."

    "Youuuuuu!"

    "Do you want to go against the Ice Sect?"

    Leona screamed in anger, her patience was already nearing its limit.

    "You can never give her what she truly deserves!"

    "You are wasting her time, her potential, her everything because of your selfishness."

    Leona eximed loudly.

    "Don''t keep saying the same things again and again!"

    "I am saying this for thest time: she is not going anywhere!"

    My attitude was firm.

    I could feel it, impressed by my domineering words, Xenia''s face was already blushing red. In order to hide it, she had already hidden her head in my arms.

    I patted her head before separating from her, getting up from my knees, I gently pushed her wheelchair towards Saharika, signaling her from the corner of my eyes.

    Understanding my intent, Saharika took Xenia''s wheelchair to her side and stood far away from Leona warily.

    Just when I felt Leona was about to lose her temper, I broke the silence.

    "Let me show you something before you dare bark again."

    Under Leona''s strong gaze, I took out the personal disciple token Shao Shao had given me.

    "You see what this is?"

    "It''s the personal disciple token the famous weapon maker Shao Shao had given me."

    "I tell you, she is just a few distance away from us. If you dare take any action against me or anyone present here, I will instantly call her and let her punish you."

    "Do you think she will let her only personal disciple ept such a humiliation of his wife being robbed of?"

    -There was a sneer on my face, my words, without a doubt, caught Leona off-guard.

    ''The famous craftswoman Shao Shao?��..That proud woman from the bunny tribe who is famous throughout the first 100 floors of the tower? Wait, not to forget she got some damn annoying connections with lots of important people.''

    ''Plus, her ranking is also in the top 200, unless I call for a backup, I am no match for such a strong woman.''

    Unable to hide her surprise, she got close and snatched the disciple token from Shenshah''s hands.

    She held it for at least 10 minutes before returning it back.

    With her rich experience, she was sure the token was damn real.

    She was perplexed, How can this boy be a personal disciple of that infamous weapon maker?

    ''Shit! What should I do now?''

    ''This was never something I never expected, should I give up and return to the sect?''

    ''But it''s not easy toe back to the lower floors and those bossy elders will definitely scold me for failing the task.''

    Bringing Xenia back to the sect was a very important task entrusted to the outer as well as inner sect''s disciples.

    For some reason, because of bribing a broker, she was able to find Xenia''s whereabouts and took the lead ining to the second floor.

    Why? Because the reward being offered was very tempting.

    But now��..

    On one side was her arrogant sect and on the other side that famous weapon maker''s reputation.

    "Are you still not leaving?"

    "Or I call my master here?"

    "If shees here, I can''t guarantee your life, you better think about it."

    My words were full of confidence.

    I have to admit my identity as Shao Shao''s only personal disciple was really powerful.

    "No! No!��.There''s no need to call anyone, I will leave immediately."

    Without waiting for Shenshah to speak any more words, Leona hurriedly left Shenshah''s house.

    She was not willing to see Shao Shao.

    What if Shenshah has a change of heart and bitterlyins about her to his master?

    Then, enraged by her actions, who knows if Shao Shao would directly kill her?

    You know, from ancient times, the best way to avoid future troubles from developing is to silence the people involved.

    She had already imagined that to prevent the news that Xenia was staying here, she might be directly silenced by Shao Shao.

    Against Shenshah, she still has some confidence, but against a top 200 ranker?��She knows her limit, it''s better to run away.

    ''Leave it! I will contact those stinky elders and tell them about the situation here, I am sure they will never see a talent like Xenia rot here. You just wait Shenshah, with a strong backer, I will return in no time. After all, my Ice sect is the sixth ranked sect in the entire tower. If we seriously want someone, even that proud Shao Shao can''t keep you!''

    -Leona quickly thought about a counterattack. She was hell-bent on taking Xenia along with her.

    ...��.

    A/N Guys, I am starting this novel again as a trial to see if people are still reading it. For more chs, pleasement to your support.

 Chapter 41 The trouble is coming….

    41 The trouble ising��.

    As soon as Leona got out of Shenshah''s house, she didn''t stop running till she was at least on the other side of the vige.

    It was only then she breathed a sigh of relief.

    "Phew! Now I must be out of range even if his master Shao Shaoes."

    From her spatial ring she took out amunication talisman, and injected some internal energy (qi) in it.

    {Note- qi and internal energy will be interchanged in many ces, both mean the same.}

    Within a few seconds, the talisman lit up.

    Leona didn''t waste any time.

    "Hello, hello?"

    "Is this the headmaster speaking?"

    On the other side, on the 145th floor, Ice Sect''s Main Branch, a proud ice-cold beauty was admiring the scenery she had just painted. n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om

    Her face was half covered with a veil, her fluttering eyebrows could charm countless men in a single second.

    This fairy was the headmaster of the outer sect of the Ice Sect. All top sects are generally divided into outer as well as inner sects for proper management.

    Outer sect''s main task is filtering out the extraordinary talents that are worthy to enter the inner sect and be truly cultivated by the sect.

    Only by entering the inner sect can a cultivator truly belong to a particr sect and enjoy countless benefits like free cultivation resources, top cultivation techniques and other core secrets....the sect pays very little attention to the disciples in the outer sect. People there mostly fend for themselves and try their best to enter the inner sect by mostly catching attention of some elders

    At first, she was annoyed when themunication talisman lit up and made an annoying sound, but then she immediately remembered that except Leona, no one else has hermunication talisman.

    She became excited and spoke first,

    "Oh dear disciple Leona, you must have contacted me to tell the good news first-hand, right?"

    "You already found that amazing Cold Ice physique girl named Xenia, right?"

    "Elder, I��.."

    Leona, hearing her ted tone knew she was going to be scolded.

    "Why are you not saying anything? Don''t worry, I keep my promises. As soon as youe back, I will directly promote you to the inner sect and will even tell the Sect Leader to take you as her servant girl."

    The woman on the other side spoke nonchntly.

    "Headmaster, there is a little trouble, I did find Xenia and even checked her physique using the sect''s instrument. She definitely has that legendary Cold Ice Physique which is mostpatible with our sect''s core Ice cultivation manual. But, she is already married."

    Leona said with an aggrieved tone.

    "So what if she is married? Just kidnap her and bring her back. If she refuses, then threaten her with her husband''s life."

    "As long as she enters our sect, I will personally brainwash her!"

    "Such a legendary physique is destined to be a top powerhouse in this tower, we must not miss it, you understand?"

    The headmaster of the outer sect reprimanded Leona sternly.

    Against the name of their renowned Ice Sect, Who dare not give face? Otherwise, don''t me them for ying the viin.

    "Headmaster, it''s not that I didn''t try, I dare not kidnap Xenia."

    "Her husband is the only personal disciple of that famous craftswoman Shou Shou from the Pink bunny tribe. I checked his disciple token with my own hands to make sure there was no scam."

    "I am afraid if I use force, her husband will directly summon his master and then, I might even lose my life."

    -Leona spoke a little timidly.

    "Leona, as a proud daughter of our sect, are you scared of such things? How disappointing?"

    "I got it, you must havemunicated with me to send you some reinforcements, hmm?"

    The headmaster spoke with a bit of a hot-temper.

    "Headmaster, is it worth it to go against Shao Shao for Xenia?"

    Leona expressed the thoughts in her head.

    "Leona, you don''t understand��.Xenia is destined to be our sect''s future saintess. As soon as she practices with us, she will be unparalleled in no time."

    Leona felt conflicted, "So what should I do?"

    "You can do nothing! Just obediently wait for me, I will personallye down to the second floor and bring both you and Xenia back to the sect."

    "That pink bunny tribe''s weapon maker Shao Shao is only a rising star after all, her current individual ranking is only 196, plus, she has only climbed up to 100 floors till now, that is only outer tower. She is yet to enter the main tower after 100 floors, and not to forget her pink bunny tribe is almost extinct now. With my individual ranking of 70, as long as I personally appear, for my Ice Sect''s image, I don''t think she will refuse me."

    The painting brush in the headmaster''s hand was broken due to being clenched tightly.

    "It will take about 10 days for me toe down, you know��. it''s not so easy to move to the lower floors."

    The woman gave a deep sigh.

    "Understand, I will keep an eye on Xenia till you reach here."

    Leona replied obediently.

    As soon as shepleted her words, the talisman went silent. Themunication was hung up one sidedly.

    Leona was relieved.

    As long as this womanes down, they will definitely fetch Xenia.

    Her talent wasn''t that outstanding to begin with, therefore, she has put all her hope and power onpleting this task.

    She will definitely be promoted to the Inner sect and live longer.

    ....

    Inside my house, I looked softly at Saharika and Xenia.

    Seeing their nervous look, I couldn''t help but chuckle,

    "Don''t worry, everything has me!"

    At that moment, the system''s prompt rang in my head.

    [Congrattions, the host sessfully prevented his wife Xenia being kidnapped, Xenia''s affection +5, her total affection- 90]

    [Saharika''s affection +1]

    [Reward: 55 years of cultivation.]

    At the same time I checked the newly opened affection panel that mysteriously appeared in my head.

    [Affection Panel]

    [Saharika, first wife, total affection= 92]

    [Xenia, second wife, total affection= 90]

    [Ang, system''s task target, total affection= -80]

 Chapter 42 Worried Wives.

    42 Worried Wives.

    A wide smile automatically bloomed on my tense face as I saw the system''s rewards.

    ''Nice with 55 years of cultivation, I don''t believe I can''t break into the foundation realm in one big sweep. Who says the lowest talent can''t cultivate.''

    Next, I spontaneously checked the affection panel. There was no issue with Xenia and Saharika, but the -80 number in front of Ang made me remember the white-eyed-wold I had brought along.

    Xenia and Saharika, now that the troublemaker Leona has run away, too, noticed the presence of an excellent girl.

    Women have a very advanced talent when ites to the word beauty.

    Their sixth sense instantly screamed: A vixen who can seduce their Shenshah.

    Ang could very well feel the hostility emitting from their eyes. She helplessly waved her right hand and chuckled.

    "Hello, I am Ang."

    I knew it was time for a formal introduction.

    "She is someone I found while returning from the sect. Her parents were killed overnight by the bandits. She said she wouldmit suicide if I didn''t let her follow me."

    I sighed as I exined slowly.

    Xenia and Saharika''s eyes softened as they felt their husband''s heart was too kind. This vixen clearly wants to deceive him. Why will a random girl out of the blue pop up and follow a married man to his home?

    No matter how sophisticated the sect master Naagina''s nning was, Ang was a novice actor after all. The way she approached Shenshah and came with him to his house missed too many steps. A suspicion was bound to arise, but Ang was too overconfident to doubt her so-called professional acting.

    "Yes, that''s right! The moment I first saw this man, I fell in love at first sight."

    "I have decided: If I can''t marry him, I willmit suicide. Then you guys will be responsible for my death."

    By the end of her sentence, her voice became shaky and weak.

    Acting must be done to the fullest, after all! N?v(el)B\\jnn

    "Ang, you go to the extreme side room on the right side and rest properly. There is a bed and other necessities in that room already. The bathroom is amon shared one in front of the courtyard. When it''s time to eat, someone will call you."

    Looking at her adamant posture, I further added.

    I decided to let her stay in the guest room for the timing as there were no other avable vacancies.

    I used the same card she was selling.

    ''Yeah, all women will naturally feel reluctant to share their man with one more woman. Let him do the exining. I will sleep leisurely. It''s been so long since I came out of the sect. Since my cultivation is locked, walking downhill hurriedly exhausted all my strength. My legs are sore��. I must get a proper sleep.''

    "I am tired, and my legs are sore. Shenshah, you better exin the matter of marriage to both of your wives. I am going to sleep for some time."

    Ang spoke rudely before leaving the courtyard.

    She never thought her diligent n to ruin Shenshah had long been leaked by his almighty system.

    "Shenshah, will you marry her? You have just met her. Look at her seductive face like a fox. She is after your money."

    "Yeah, look how proud she is. She spoke so whimsically and had no manners as well as no respect. See how shamelessly and worry-free she went to take a nap aftering to a new house as we owe her something."

    Xenia and Saharika spoke one after another, the worry on their faces even more profound.

    Seeing them sour like this, I quickly ensured the door to Ang''s room was closed. To be extra sure, I took both of them to my and Saharika''s room before shutting the door properly.

    The moment I closed the door, the system''s lovely notification ran in my head.

    [The system noticed that the host has epted the side mission regarding Ang.]

    [To encourage the host to take on more side missions in the future and boost the host''s morale, two rewards for taskpletion are issued in advance.]

    [Rewards issued- 1. Increase in overall talent from F+ to C+.]

    [2. Antivirus, Anti-Malware and Anti-Spyware technology issued.]

    The surprise came too suddenly, but important things still need to be done first.

    ''System, store the first reward in the system space while directly activating the second reward.''

    [Understood, Antivirus, Anti-Spyware and Anti-Malware technology activated for the host and his core family members.]

    With this, I had an extrayer of insurance about my safety.

    Looking at Shenshah, who was smiling so merrily. Xenia and Saharika looked at each other. The wariness in their eyes was aroused to the fullest.

    The sisters seemed to have a tacit-understanding: that witch Ang already enchanted their husband with her beauty.

    Looking at their sad faces, Iughed.

    I was sure my following words were enough to make their shoulders cold.

    "Oye��it''s not what you are thinking."

    "First, listen to me and don''t interrupt."

    The wives were a little grumpy, but seeing Shenshah''s resolute posture, they decided to first listen to him.

    "First, I would like to apologise to you, Xenia. I couldn''t find your mother''s earrings and any other belongings in your cave."

    Then, I slowly narrated the process of enraging the sect master Naagina and how I was taken as a personal disciple by that bunny girl Shao Shao due to her jealousy towards Naagina.

    Of course, while exining, I omitted the engagement ring and other system-rted things.

    The girls slowly listened to my narration. Now came the critical part.

    "Next, what I am going to say is very serious. It''s about that new girl, Ang."

    Saharika''s and Xenia''s ears became extra alert so as not to miss any single detail.

    "That girl is actually one of the saintess of my previous Immortal Paradise Sect appointed by the sect master Naagina. She is a spy sent here to sow disdain between us."
