Harem Overlord

Flames spread across the entire place as everyone present there started kneeling, some more reluctantly than the others, but they still did it.

The flames spread and bathed the royal family in a strange red glow as all of them were the pheonix's descendants.

Kai calmly watched this as the flames died down. The pheonix wings folded upon themselves as Haruka slowly landed on the ground.

He stared at Kai in amazement before looking at the kneeling royal family. They all stood up and stared at him.

Some were envious, while some were frustrated. However, most of the people were happy and they admired Haruka as they knew that he was kind and intelligent.

But there was a single person in the crowd who was so angry that he released a battle cry. He released a 9th stage hell spirit realm cultivation and stared at Haruka with malice.

"Why did the Vermillion Bird choose a loser like you. I will kill you so that the bird can choose me." The man said to Haruka and started making his way towards him.

The others started to move so that they could stop him, but their bodies froze on the spot.

"Prove that you are worthy of being a leader." Kai said to Haruka who formed a resolute expression.

He stepped forward to face his oldest cousin who simply launched himself as Haruka, thinking that he would be someone that could be killed by a single attack.

But Haruka was much stronger now as flames wrapped his body. The pheonix wings appeared on his back as he blocked his cousin's fist with his hand.

The flames from his hand traveled down his cousin's body as he screamed. Haruka's wings wrapped around his cousin as he was burnt to death.

Only ashes remained as Haruka's wings folded upon themselves. He looked at Kai who nodded at him.

"Let's give you a gift." Kai said with a smile as he snapped his fingers.

A huge palace suddenly appeared from thin air as everyone gasped at it. A pheonix was resting on top of it.

"Tell them that this is the Vermillion Bird's gift to his descendants." Kai said to Haruka.

"This palace was built for us by the Vermillion Bird and he says that we have to make sure that our continent is a suitable place for living." Haruka said as everyone bowed to him.

After that, Kai removed himself from Haruka's memories and observed Haruka's actions for a week.

Haruka ordered the royal army to destroy every single brothel on the continent and he personally destroyed a few of them.

Places where women were kidnapped and r*ped were also destroyed and the owners were sentenced to death.

Other than that, Haruka would sometimes casually stroll through his kingdom and would occasionally give the poor some fruits to eat and sell.

And since he was intelligent, he carefully handled the financial issues to make sure that everyone in his empire could sleep with food in their stomachs.

Kai was impressed by his rulings and decided to leave the continent in Haruka's care. He teleported himself to the place where the space gate was situated before he destroyed it

Some space energy was still present here and Kai decided to use this to travel back to the western continent.

He sat in a cultivating pose and the energy started to revolve around him. He took every single drop of energy he could find before teleporting to the western continent.

He appeared on the edge of the continent and stumbled as he was feeling dizzy. Knowing that he would have to rest, he walked towards the very house he had destroyed.

He quickly restored the house and crashed on the bed. But instead of sleeping, he just lay awake as he took out some spirit stones from his pendant. He started absorbing them as his energy started to recover.

After fully recovering himself, he teleported back to the sect and saw that Mariel and Mia were training the disciple. They were teaching them about elemental moves and the disciples were coming up with different types of attacks.

"So, how is the practice going?" Kai suddenly asked as he appeared behind Mia and Mariel.

Both of them being extremely surprised by this, took out their respective weapons and pinned them at Kai's throat.

"Oh, it's just you." Mia said as their weapons vanished.

The disciples seeing that Kai was back, bowed to him as he was the sect master.

"Continue thinking up some moves. We will see them after a few minutes." Mariel told the disciples as the trio moved a little further away.

"So how did it go?" Mariel asked as soon as they were out of hearing range.

"I made the pheonix spirit choose Haruka as his host and I observed him for a week before returning. The southern continent will now prosper, thanks to Haruka." Kai decided not to tell Mariel about the hotel which stole women.

He didn't want her to think that she could have done something about it and since the issue was already resolved by him, he didn't feel the need to burden her.

"How have been things going on your end?" He decided to ask as Mia and Mariel sighed.

"Since they are a part of a dual cultivation sect, they have little to no fighting experience. Everyone except Yui is like that." Mariel complained.

The only reason Yui was not like the others was that she was a core disciple for a long time.

The others were complete beginners and Mariel and Mia had to teach them everything from the start.

"Should we see how much they have learned. All of you versus me and you can use your god-grade weapons." Kai said with a grin as Mia and Mariel were startled by his sudden declaration.

They however still took out their weapons but before battling, Mia decided to ask a question from Mariel that was bugging her for quite a while.

"Mariel, how did you receive that sword. I received this scepter because I am the reincarnation of the ice goddess but how did you get your sword?" Mia asked as Mariel gave her a small smile.

"Instead of telling, you can see it for yourself. Kai, you can provide commentary." Mariel said as she closed her eyes.

Kai touched her forehead and the world around them started swirling. They were inside Mariel's memories as Kai started his narration.

"Long ago, the first dragon ever was born and he became the leader of a huge group of dragons that rose after him. He was very handsome, according to a dragon's point of view. He was also the strongest in the entire group of dragons and everyone adored him." He said as a large crimson dragon made its appearance.

"But one day, he met a female dragon who was all alone in a forest and he decided to take her in with his group. The female dragon was grateful but she always vanished on the last three nights of every month. When the dragon would ask her where she went, she only replied that she cultivated alone.

The dragon got curious and one day he decides to follow her. The female dragon escaped to a forest where a red aura surrounded her body. Her scales vanished and her body shrunk. Her wings and tail also vanished as the girl surprisingly turned into a human." Kai said as a dragon turned into a human girl in front of their very eyes.

"That's Mariel." Mia gasped as she looked at the girl. She was indeed Mariel.

Mia glanced at the real Mariel, who just smiled and gestured for Kai to continue.

"When the girl found out that the dragon had found her secret she explained everything to him. She was actually a human who was under a curse. She would stay as a dragon for her entire life but on the last three nights of a month, she would be able to turn back into her human self.

The dragons hated humans as they hunted them for their spiritual cores but surprisingly, the crimson dragon understood the girl. They grew closer and the dragon also started sneaking with the girl. However, the other dragons grew suspicious and they followed them one night.

But when they saw the female dragon turn into a human, they went berserk and marked the crimson dragon as a traitor for associating with humans. They went back to the group of dragons and brought the strongest of them to execute the traitor." Kai said as a horde of dragons surrounded Mariel and the crimson dragon.

"They overpowered the crimson dragon within a few seconds and killed him. The girl cried when she saw the crimson dragon's dead body. The others decided to capture her and r*pe her in her dragon form before killing her. But what they didn't know was that the girl was much stronger than they had imagined and that was because she cultivated in both the human and beast ways.

The crimson dragon seeing that his lover howled in rage for him also remembered his memories. He was supposed to be dead but a human saved his life by transplanting his dragon heart with a human heart. His heart burst through his body and turned into a shining red crystal. The crystal was then surrounded by a purple sword and they merged together.

The girl used it to massacre the other dragons and purple flames surrounded her. That was how the first fire spirit was born and she also became ruler of other fire spirits who were born after her. After killing the dragons, she reached the side of her lover and cried as the crimson dragon's body turned to dust." Kai finished as the dragon's body vanished into nothingness.
