The Psychopath's Harem

Chapter 35 The Fierce Woman Is Sacred?



"Umm... when will this Long Tian come back?" Ye Suyin with a pondering look asked Li Nan. She was hoping that he never comes back, however, Li Nan's words crushed her hope.

"I don't know, but he will definitely come back." she shook her head lightly and replied. She was very confident in Long Tian.

A small frown developed on the first woman's face, and she sighed. 'War is unavoidable.' then, her sight fell into Xia Tian's carefree look, she can't help but think.

'Is he not worried about it? Both are ancient families, there will be losses on both sides, wait! What is his status in the Xia family? Will they even go to war for him?'

[Master, the mission is completed already... Do you want to see the rewards?] Luo Xue asked.

"No," Xia Tian stated calmly.

He raised an eyebrow and peeked at Ye Suyin who was looking at him worriedly, she blushed the moment her gaze met his, and glanced in another direction. 'Was it this easy?'.

Frankly, Xia Tian never wanted to complete any mission, but since it is completed by itself, it didn't matter.

"Can I leave now?" Li Nan sighed and spoke, she has already told them everything she knew, now there was nothing to hide, but how can Xia Tin let her escape?

"Aren't you her escort?" he spoke.

Li Nan nodded her head. She was Ye Suyin's escort, what is with that?

"Then, where are you going to?" Xia Tian questioned.

"??"

Li Nan looked at Xia Tian with a narrowed gaze. 'Does he want me to accompany them? ... What has he to fear with his strength?'

After a moment, Li Nan decided she should go with them, with Xia Tian around, she would have to do nothing and the mission will be completed with ease.

In a way, it was a free reward for her. The offer wasn't that bad.

But her right eye flickered constantly as if something wrong is going to happen to her.

Regardless, the rewards were too tempting to ignore. As for Ye Wuhan, he has died, and she can't change it, It was his fault that he ran away alone in the forest.

Cultivators die every day.

Since everything was decided, Xia Tian and the others were ready to leave.

The only thing was, how will they leave?

"Do you have an ark?" Xia Tian asked Li Nan.

Li Nan shook her head lightly and waved her hands in the air, a flying artifact appeared in front of them, "I don't have an ark, it is too expensive, but I have this flying artifact."

The flying artifact wasn't as big as an arc which is normally found in the immortal realm. Arcs are too expensive to build for mortals. Compared to a flying artifact that has only a few rooms, an arc can be as big as a palace, with every luxury which one can imagine.

Xia Tian does not need an ark, he can go anywhere with help of Nyx, though, he would like to look around this realm and observe it.

The sense of time doesn't exist after one reaches the immortal realm.

After Ye Suyin climbed on the artifact, they were ready to deport.

"Where are we going?" Xia Tian asked calmly which made both women frown.

" _ "

Now, that he asks it, Ye Suyin remembered she has just met him, and she don't even know where he was going to... Li Nan also became aware of it, they were originally three people.

Now, with Ye Wuhan out, Xia Tian had replaced him, so everything seemed normal to them.

"Is there any place you want to go?" Ye Suyin asked.

Xia Tian shrugged, he don't even know this realm, where will he even go? His plans were quite simple, he would follow around her, and if he finds nothing interesting, he would go to Xia Ying's location, a certain son of destiny requires some repair work.

He has to make Xia Chen a true cultivator.

Ye Suyin nodded and explained her plan.

"Then, we will go to ethereal cloud city, which is near the holy water palace. It should take us around seven days to reach there..."

"Um, Lin Hu- cough, Senior Li Nan, we should leave now, it is near the evening time already..."

Li Nan nodded, she stole a glance at Xia Tian and moved to the control room.

Xia Tian sensed her sharp gaze on him, but he pretended to ignore her, the women like her are unreasonable. The more you speak, the more they will bark, the best way to deal with them is by ignoring them.

However, when Li Nan opened the door of the control room, she felt something amiss.

*slap*

A warm feeling came from her buttocks, which were spanked by Xia Tian.

"You!"

Li Nan's eyes opened wide, she doesn't even need to turn around to know who it was, she can feel a smirking Xia Tian behind her back.

A flustered Li Nan turned around instantly, but Xia Tian had long disappeared.

"!?"

When Li Nan was trying to find him, A sneer sounded in front of her. "Good luck, with your revenge."

"What!?"

Instantly, Li Nan looked up front, but no one was there.

"This bastard is too fast!" She gritted her teeth and spoke.

*slap*

On the 'bastard' word, her ass was slapped once again, making Li Nan mad in anger, if not for the fact that this flying artifact was too expensive, she would have lost herself.

"Come in front of me if you dare!!"

"Aren't you a man!?" Li Nan's chest rose in anger as she shouted, her fists were clenched in anger.

She has never suffered this type of humiliation!

Contrary to what Li Nan had expected, a figure slowly appeared in front of her.

"Did you ask for me?"

It was Xia Tian who was playfully looking at her.

Li Nan was left out of words when Xia Tian appeared in front of her, she thought he wouldn't dare to appear in front of her.

But now when he is in front of her, she is at the loss of words for what to speak.

She can only glare at him, as she was trying to regulate her breathing and calm her anger down.

*Step*

Xia Tian ignored her look and took one step forward, which made Li Nan raise her eyebrow.

*Step*

She was panicked inwardly, but outside she pretended to keep a tough appearance.

*Step* *...Step*

A few steps more and Xia Tian arrived close to Li Nan's face.

He stared at Li Nan's eyes who was trying to avoid eye contact with him.

"Look at yourself." He smiled and said, making the woman alarmed.

She looked at herself, only to find she was unconsciously stepping back.

"!!"

Her pupils shrank.

'Am I scared,' she asked herself.

Xia Tian shook her head lightly.

"Come on, I am in front of you, do what you want?" He stated calmly, which made Li Nan stare at him speechlessly.

"H-How!?" she uttered.

Xia Tian, "What do you mean by how?"

"You are stronger than me!! How can I do anything to you!"

Li Nan retorted.

Xia Tian nodded in approval. "Right! so you do realize it."

After a moment, he disappeared.

Li Nan who was left alone gradually slumped down.

Her breathing was rough, in the presence of Xia Tian she was unable to breathe.

'Why am I so scared of him?' she whispered to herself.

Li Nan was pretending to be tough but no matter what, even his presence made her body tense.

A shiver ran down her, as she remembered his earlier attack, which broke her palm.

Don't know why, but when his fist met hers, she felt that his eyes were mocking her.

He was not attacking her!

He was toying with her!

She felt like a toy!

She felt she is being played by him...

........

[Master, you did that woman dirty!] Luo Xue laughed remembering the scared look on Li Nan.

Xia Tian chuckled. "What dirty? I just showed her the reality... "

"Though, Little fairy do you have big boobs or small ones?"

Luo Xue momentarily went silent on his sudden words.

'Master is too bad, how can he ask a lady something like this!' she grumbled in her mind.

The fairy was still innocent, unable to bear an old fox's shameless behavior.

[It is big...] she whispered, after a moment.

Xia Tian nodded, he was just inquiring about it for general information.

Small looks good as well, it just depends on one person's body size.

Who is he kidding?

Big ones are always superior!

They are multipurpose!

When Xia Tian was contemplating the benefits of bigger breasts, Ye Suyin was waiting for him on the deck of the flying ship.

A small smile formed on her face when she spotted Xia Tian walking towards her. She approached him with quiet steps.

"Let's go there, the scenery looks perfect from that spot..." she said while pointing in a certain direction.

Xia Tian smiled and grabbed her small hands, both walked near the corner of the deck.

Li Nan who saw the scene snorted.

She shook her head lightly and got back inside, 'Sigh, this little girl is being played by him..."

Li Nan found this attitude of women very irritating.

How can she behave so dependent on him?

She sighed and got inside the cabin, the very sight of that man irritates her now.

She doesn't want to lose her cool.

Ye Suyin was appreciating the brilliance of the scenery with an excited look. The girl was always occupying Ye Wuhan and helping him, so the outside world is still a mystery to her.

Every mountain peak is enough to amaze her.

"Can we make something like this .... " she spoke softly while observing the grandeur of an artificial river below them.

She has heard immortal cultivators can create rivers and mountains... For mortals, immortals are like god-like beings, who can do anything.

They can split oceans and cut mountains with their single attack.

Xia Tian did not answer her and only smiled.

Creating rivers? This is nothing... You can even create life in the void realm!

What difference exists between a normal mortal who can't cultivate vs a peak cultivator?

For others, it's strength and Lifespan...

For Xia Tian, it is a choice... The choices that we make in life...

The desire to grow...

After a while, he grinned and glanced at the figure next to him.

"Aren't you forgetting something?" he spoke, which made the girl stare at him and tilt her head in confusion.

"Forgetting what?" she questioned.

"Your brother," Xia Tian answered, which made Ye Suyin instantly realize something.

Her body shook lightly, her gaze was concentrated on a single spot, as she was unable to understand herself.

What happened to her?

Did she forget him?

Did she forget her revenge?

She has to find her brother's killer...?

But now, she doesn't want to... She just wants to stay like this...

Did she forget him?

Is it a good thing for her...?

Seeing the confusion on her face, Xia Tian smiled.

"Look at me," he said, which forced her to move her head and stare at his face.

"Am I a bad person...?" she questioned.

"Depends on what bad means to you." Xia Tian spoke.

His answer did not lessen the tension on Ye Suyin's face but increased it.

She gave a self-deprecating smile, and the aura around her got heavy.

Many things changed in her life... But somehow she doesn't feel it...

"Who are you," she spoke with a low voice while staring in front of her, her head was resting on the metallic fence, which was placed to protect people from falling.

"Don't you already know, It's Xia Tian."

"En" Ye Suyin nodded and asked again. "Why did you approach me?"

"A woman was taking bath alone in the open... Drowning in her sorrow... Only an idiot would miss a heaven-given opportunity like this."

The cringe lines like; It was due to heavens which we met or it was the god who desired us to come together, always seem useless.

But in women's mind, these words have a deep effect.

Outside women will cringe at these words, but when they are alone, they will remember them in their minds and smile at themselves.

Remember, Women are much better at hiding their inner thoughts, unlike men who have their thoughts placed all over their faces.

The books and stories that a woman read while growing up mostly consist of fate... Like how fate makes the mc and female lead unite at the same moment... How everything felt like is already... How they find their god's matched pair...

These lines would subconsciously make the woman associate herself and make her feel like the main character of the story.

The things which we read and see have a deep effect on us... Maybe we are unaware ... But it doesn't change the fact that the books we read affect our mentality.

The stories which we hear affect our minds...

His words made Ye Suyin laugh.

"Drowning in her sorrow, I see.... "

"Do you trick me to sleep with you?"

Instead of answering, Xia Tian questioned her back.

"What do you think?"

With an amused smile, he faced her, "Who tricked whom? Was it me who tricked you or was it you who tricked yourself?"

A thoughtful look appeared on Ye Suyin's face.

"I tricked myself..." she whispered.

Silence fell into the place, after a while Ye Suyin parted her lips and spoke again, this time not with doubt but with a serious expression.

"You should leave..."

Xia Tian knitted his brows. "Who are you to tell me when to leave?"

Ye Suyin shook her head. "I don't mean it..."

"What is your status in the Xia family?" she asked.

"Genius! The best genius in the world." The narcissistic tendencies of Xia Tian were beginning to surface.

Ye Suyin smiled gently at his words.

"And what is your age?"

Xia Tian thought and answered, "I stopped counting a long ago, but this body should be of around eighteen years old."

Ye Suyin was beginning to enjoy his strange replies.

'Do he try to annoy people on purpose?' she thought in her mind and smiled.

'Eighteen years and can fight a sage realm cultivator who is two realms above him... A monster indeed.' she said in her heart, unlike Li Nan, she had her eyes of truth, so she believed the words of Xia Tian.

She sighed. "It is more the reason for you to leave... I don't want to lose you... You are honest, unlike others... Go and leave, grow, and when you are strong enough to face Long Tian... come back... I would somehow be able to hide for a few decades... Your talent is far better than anyone I have ever seen... Don't die."

She spoke and turned around without looking back.

Xia Tian raised his hand and stroked his chin while glancing at her back.

Women are really strange. They behave like they will say anything and it will be followed unconditionally.

Just like how Ye Suyin didn't even wait for his answer and was ready to leave. She assumed Xia Tian will just follow her wishes... Like men use to do... Follow the women's wishes... Make them happy...

"What if I don't want to leave?" Xia Tian raised his voice as he spoke.

His words make Ye Suyin halt her steps, she looked back, her eyes were teary ready to burst at any moment.

"Don't make it hard for me..." she whispered lightly, as a teardrop fell down her eye.

It was hard to control herself, she has already faced a loss today and was ready to part again, Ye Suyin is afraid if she misses this opportunity she won't have the courage to leave...

She wasn't as ignorant as she tried to pretend, she knew the consequences of her actions, and she knew that her actions have brought a huge crisis to Xia Tian and her family.

She was in a state of repression.

One of the defense mechanisms of the mind...

[A/N: Sublimation is yet another defense mechanism that I explained earlier, i.e. If you are angry, do exercise, take out your anger by doing a workout.]

In repression, a person tries to ignore whatever is happening, he doesn't deny the reality but just ignores it as if it never happened.

The strange thing is each and every person in the world is a victim of this phenomenon.

We ignore... A lot...

But one thing, we all have in common...

Is ignorance of death... We behave as if life is eternal... We ignore the existence of death.

All of us in adolescence age have ignored the fact that our parents will leave us one day...

They will die...

Every person subconsciously ignores this fact.

Have you ever thought, why do we fear darkness and loneliness?

Not just us, even a newborn baby feels scared to be lonely and in dark...

Why?

Is it he who feels scared? Or is the survival instinct behind him?

We are born in loneliness and darkness... In a womb, we are alone and in dark...

Before our birth, we don't have consciousness... We are alone and in dark.

We don't fear loneliness and darkness, we fear the things associated with it.

It reminds us ... Of our existence... It reminds us of what we were before we opened our eyes for the first time...

It reminds us of death.

The first thing that enters our eyes after getting out of a mother's womb is light... Bright white light...

It is not the only language we learn by associative learning... We learn almost everything in the world by associating things...

This is why we always associate light with good and life...

While darkness with dread and fear...

It is the fear of death...

We ignore our very death.

Ye Suyin was also ignoring everything up until this moment...

She can't ignore it anymore...

She burst into tears and slowly fell to her knees ...

Her legs gave up...

Xia Tian saw her figure slowly drooping down, he wasn't panicked but smiled faintly.

........

A/N: Just a reminder, but I have updated the pictures of all the FLs, make sure to check it out.

And yes, as you have observed in this story I would try to place a belief on every FL(female lead) and then try to destroy it... Not meaninglessly but with pure reasons and logic.

Xia Shuiyao - Cherish her body

Ye Suyin - Liers are bad, speaking the truth is good.

Li Nan - Man vs Woman (Is society patriarchal?)

There will be many more like this... Like a belief of the future is already decided... Like a belief of being cherished... Like a belief in the difference between rich and poor, and many more.

For Xia Ying, I haven't thought of a good one till now.

This is what will separate it from other novels, I would separate FL on basis of their beliefs.

At last, I have thought of something interesting:-

In every chapter, you can drop ideas and ask questions about human behavior.

I am leaving powers in the readers' hands... that is your hands...

You can ask random questions on human behavior as well as give me advice for beliefs that you will like in one of the future characters.

You can decide the fate of this novel...

I would try to answer those questions in the novel itself using the characters.

It would help me cope with my laziness, after all, if there is anything that I don't know I will be forced to go and search the web for it :P

[Of course, the narcissistic author will never accept that keeping track of the concepts which are already explained in earlier chapters is hard.]
