Divine Harem: My Sect of Heavenly Beauties

Chapter 5: Ying Yue



Chapter 5: Ying Yue

The only person in the sect other than Shen Yu was the girl he had rescued. Finally, she was awake the next morning.

She groaned slightly and sat up, rubbing her head.

"Where am I? Heaven or maybe hell?"

The girl said, opening her eyes and yawning. She had a good sleep, and that's why she thought she had ended up in heaven. After all, her death was already confirmed. Even if someone tried to save her, she would be dead in those conditions.

"Hmm? Is this how heaven looks?"

The girl muttered, looking around. She was in a big, spacious room filled with many decorations and plants at the window, which was letting the cool morning breeze in.

"Hello? How are you feeling now?"

The girl jumped from the bed, startled by the sudden voice. She quickly turned around and tried to find her dagger, but realized she had lost everything.

'It's probably a god, as they say, or maybe a devil.'

The girl sighed and looked at the source of the voice. Her eyes widened, and her heart skipped a beat. She couldn't believe what she was seeing.

'I'm definitely in heaven. And if the devil is this handsome, then heck, I don't mind staying in hell.'

The girl's thoughts ran wild. Now that she knew she was already dead, she was also free from every responsibility and everything that bound her.

She was free.

That's why when she saw a handsome man, no, handsome word would be an understatement as she had never been so entranced before. This was a godly face.

Shen Yu, on the other hand, was getting more nervous. Although he appeared calm, his thoughts were also running wild due to the girl's silence.

'Does she think I'm ugly? That shouldn't be the case. Or maybe she got weirded out of my voice or tone? What was it?'

And just like that, some time passed as both looked at each other, each with their own thoughts. While one was nervous as he was talking with a beautiful girl for the first time, the other was too mesmerized by his appearance to say anything.

Shen Yu finally had enough. He couldn't handle so much and scratched his cheek.

"Then should I go? I mean, I'll leave if you're feeling unwell."

His voice didn't show any emotions he was feeling. That was one of the things he had mastered living on the streets. Hiding what you're thinking and feeling was very important on the streets, especially for someone like him.

The girl finally got out of her reverie and nodded, then shook her head.

"H-Hello, am I in heaven or hell?"

"Huh!?"

Shen Yu got confused but soon understood the situation. He chuckled, finding her thinking like that cute, especially those innocent eyes.

'She was probably a kind, innocent soul who got dragged into messy politics. That's why she was almost dead when I found her.'

Shen Yu now pitied the poor girl. Just from the condition he had found her, he knew the opponents were very cruel.

'Well, with me here, nobody will be able to do anything to her. She's one of the rare kind. I can't find innocent souls in the xianxia world.'

The girl was now calmer, but redness was catching up with her ears.

"Was there something wrong in what I said?"

"There's nothing wrong. And you're very much alive."

Shen Yu chuckled.

The girl's eyes widened as she pinched herself.

"You're right. I'm alive, but how? How am I alive?"

Shen Yu chuckled at seeing the girl jumping around in a panic. She was just too cute for him.

"How about we talk about this on a tea or maybe meal?"

Shen Yu asked with uncertainty. He didn't know how this world worked properly, so maybe they ate in the morning instead of tea—who knows?

"Eh? T-Thank you, we can talk on tea."

The girl said, stopping before Shen Yu. She got a little flustered thinking that she would have tea with him. She was a normal girl, even though she was never allowed to be one.

'Damn it! It's just a handsome boy; what are you getting flustered on?'

The girl scolded herself mentally and deeply breathed to calm down. She needed to talk properly to learn about the situation since she was alive, but she wasn't free. Thinking of that brought a slight sadness, but she soon shook it off.

Shen Yu, who was observing her, noticed the change in her expression and sighed. This world was really cruel. Well, what could he do? He wasn't a hero who would go and save the world. That was impossible anyway, even if he were a hero.

The most he could do was to protect everyone who joined his sect. Thinking of that, a thought appeared in his mind.

'Hey, system, can it be like whoever joins my sect through their own will, will never betray me? Because that's the last thing I want, and I don't want to live in doubt that someday my disciples will betray me.'

[Host, you're a god. You can do whatever you want.]

'So I can do it, huh? Well, it's a little unfair to everyone who will join, but I'm not risking my sanity for it. So, apologies in advance. System, do it.'

[Roger.]

Shen Yu had no clue how the system would do that, and he wasn't interested in knowing. He was just glad it worked. He then smiled at the girl and said.

"I'll prepare a tea, then. Also, I just realized we haven't introduced each other. My name is Shen Yu, the Sect Master of Divine Harem Sect."

"Ying Yue, a rogue Cultivator."

The girl, Ying Yue, bowed as she introduced herself. She didn't say she was an assassin because assassins were frowned upon, and everyone was wary of them.

She had finally met a kind man, or at least that's what she had observed from Shen Yu, and she didn't want him to throw her out. He was kind, and that word was foreign to someone like her who had grown up in a special environment for making assassins.

'Sect Master, huh? He must be immensely powerful, then; I can't even see his cultivation base. Also, what's with that name of the sect?'
