Divine Harem: My Sect of Heavenly Beauties

While hugging the petite girl in his embrace, Shen Yu finally looked back at the mature beauty sitting on a comfortable sofa. Her knowing gaze reminded him of his position and he could only awkwardly laugh at that.

He patted Qing Zhiyan's back and said.

"I don't mind acting as a cushion for you but are you sure you wanna act like this in front of your mother?"

His words startled Qing Zhiyan, reminding him of her position which caused her to bury her head in his chest. But knowing that this would only cause more awkwardness, she separated from Shen Yu and looked at her mother.

Her face showed her embarassment as the bright red colour matched with her purple hairs. She pointed at Shen Yu and said, trying to be as normal as possible.

"Mom, he is Shen Yu, my husband and savior I've told you about."

She then went behind her mother and hugged her, saying with a smile.

"And Master, this is the person I love the most in this world. My mother, Li Xiaojing, also the Empress of Qing Empire. Isn't she beautiful?"

Shen Yu chuckled softly, knowing what was going through her head. Still, he clasped his hands and greeted his mother-in-law.

"Greetings, Lady Li."

Li Xiaojing smiled, noticing the way he addressed her. She bowed her head slightly and said.

"Master Shen is too humble. It is my honour that to have you in my humble abode. Please, take a seat. I have many things that I want to discuss with you."

Shen Yu nodded and took a seat on the sofa opposite to Li Xiaojing. He then began to engage in normal conversation with her to break the ice and finally they arrived at the main topic.

Li Xiaojing sighed and said.

"Since Master Shen Yu already known about Xiaoyan's condition then I will like to ask you. Are you sure you can help her?"

Her voice was cold as she stared dead into Shen Yu's eyes. She knew Qing Zhiyan well enough and trusted her too, but there was simply no way she was going to not get serious in this matter.

Shen Yu smiled, not really offended by the deadly aura she emitted and surrounded him with. She was just a protective mother who wanted the best for her child so why would he gets offended on that?

In fact, he was very happy with her personality and decisive mentality. But during this, he noted one thing.

'Late-Stage Nascent Soul Realm, huh. No wonder she is so daring.'

Still, he needed to show her that he was more than capable of protecting Qing Zhiyan from her future.

And he had the perfect plan for that.

He leaned back and tapped on the wooden floor. The surroundings suddenly blurred and things they were seeing began to get distorted.

However, his plan wasn't this. The surroundings became clear again and the two ladies who were looking at everything in wonder finally realised where they were.

Li Xiaojing stood up as she prepared to think of a solution but noticed Shen Yu signalling her from his eyes. The relaxed smile on his face also calmed her heart down and finally forced her to relax too.

Her sudden reaction was valid as the sight before them was indeed not something they should see. After all, they were currently in the Emperor's personal study.

Not only that, the Emperor himself was sitting behind a table and was going through some documents. His burrows was furrowed as if he was contemplating some serious matters.

Shen Yu stood up and said, looking at Qing Yicheng.

"This is not an illusion. What you're seeing is the reality and we are here. This bastard before you is the real one. You can do whatever you want and he won't perceive you."

Li Xiaojing was stunned, as she couldn't believe what she was seeing. But then she remembered the things Qing Zhiyan told her and finally set her heart as ease.

'Atleast he is powerful enough to protect her. As for his nature...I trust Xiaoyan for that. She always had good eyes for people.'

She smiled and also stood up. With steady steps, she walked around the study, paying attention to every detail. Although she had been here a few times, it was always under the Emperor's eyes so she never found anything good.

Now that she could finally search, she decided to check it. The study was one of the few places Emperor forbade everyone's entry.

Unfortunately, even after searching for a few minutes she didn't find anything. Sighing in disappointment, she went towards Qing Yicheng who was still engrossed in his documents.

She felt in itch in her hands and turned around. A beautiful smile played on her lips as she asked.

"Master Shen, I have a request."

Shen Yu resisted the urge to laugh, looking at her face and said.

"You wanna slap him? Sure, turn his face red."

Li Xiaojing got excited but she controlled herself and asked.

"But won't there be problems? We are just somehow untraceable but if we have a physical contact with him, then he will become aware of us or atleast doubt."

Hearing her reasoning, Shen Yu smiled as he thought.

'As expected of Zhiyan's mother. She analysed the situation so quickly and arrived at the correct answer.'

He shook his head and said.

"Although it's true that he would become aware of the pain and impact, I can guarantee everything would be fine so you can do whatever you want."

Li Xiaojing smiled, decided to trust Shen Yu and turned around. Her lips cracked into a wide grin as she spoke.

"You will pay for everything you did, bastard. But for starters, this would do."

Qing Zhiyan came to stand beside Shen Yu and said.

"Master, I'm a little worried."

Shen Yu just spoke two words in response.

"Trust me."

Just then, a crystal clear sound came as they both turned their heads, only to see Qing Yicheng on the ground, having his right cheek completely red. Even blood was coming out of his mouth.

If it weren't for his Cultivation, his head might have exploded from the impact. Li Xiaojing didn't hold back one bit.

"Oof! That must hurt a lot!"

Shen Yu hissed, imagining the pain.

[Don't worry, Master. You're a different degenerate than him so you would never be slapped like this.]

Shen Yu rolled his eyes and ignored the dirty talker. He had such a sweety pie beside him anyways.

Qing Zhiyan giggled and said.

"Mom really is venting out her frustration. I can bet that she is probably wondering how should she kill him in future."

Shen Yu nodded.

"With what he did to her, even that is giving him mercy."

Qing Zhiyan smiled, agreeing with him. But then she saw Qing Yicheng standing up and panicked. No matter what, the years of trauma wouldn't go away so easily and that kicked in right at this moment.

"Master..."

Shen Yu threw his hand around her waist and hugged her sideways. He then smiled and said.

"Just watch!"

Curious, Qing Zhiyan focused on Qing Yicheng once again and found him rubbing his cheek, with a thoughtful look on his face. He didn't seem much bothered by the fact that he was just slapped.

Even Li Xiaojing was surprised by the events and wondered if this really was the real Emperor. Why did he reacted so passively?

But she continued to look at him and heard his next words.

"Why did effects come so suddenly today? And this feels even more real than last one. No good, I need new medicines "

He hurriedly rummaged through the drawers and took out a small bottle filled with a strange red liquid. He wiped his mouth clean and said.

"I need to be careful from next time. This felt too real."

He had his spirit sense spread around the study so he knew no one could sneak in. So, he wasn't about that, mostly since this wasn't the first time.

Li Xiaojing became even more dumbfounded, wondering if thai guy really was her husband. It simply didn't match with his actions.

She turned around and asked.

"What is this, Master? Also what medicine."

Qing Zhiyan also had similar questions.

"Yes, what happened with Emperor, Master? Is he delusional?"

Shen Yu gave her a look and answered.

"You can say it in a way but that's mostly because this isn't the first time something like this happened. Come, I will explain everything."

The two ladies nodded and went close to Shen Yu, who then teleported them to the base of The Devourer.
