Villain : I reincarnated as a Prince! Shouldn't I have a Harem?

Five days after Ashen's advancement, Phoenix Feather sect's sect leader's court,

Feng Xue sat on a throne majestically with her right leg on top of her other leg. She wore a fur coat on top of her red dress. The throne was placed on an elevated dais that had stairs beneath.

She was gazing down at a bowing old elder who had a letter in his hand.

Opening her soft lips, She asked: "Tell me, what's the reason for your visit, second elder? I can guess that it has to do with that letter!"

The elder raised his head before nodding in affirmation.

He informed: "Sect Leader, this letter is from the Crimson Sky Sect!"

"And what are the contents?" She inquired with a calm expression.

"It reads -

Dear Feng Xue,

It is me, Chen Lao. You know that the tournament between our young disciples would normally happen after two months, but, I decided to prepone it to five days later from now. The tournament is going to be held in my sect so bring your best disciples and let's have fun.

Also, don't worry about the other sects, I've already got confirmation from the top six sects and they agree. Only you bottom four sects are left. If you don't come, shame will befall your sect, so be a good girl and come, alright!"

As the elder finished reading the letter, He felt suffocating pressure around him. He looked up at Feng Xue, only to find her clenching fists with anger.

Wasn't this too much?

Deciding to prepone the tournament without even asking her and informing her as if she would obey their plans.

But do you know what was even more frustrating?

It was the fact that she had no choice and would have to go with their instructions.

She couldn't go against all the sects alone and it wasn't like they were asking something ridiculous.

It was just a tournament.

She took a deep breath, calming down as she took back the pressure she released.

The elder took a sigh of relief witnessing this.

"Sect Leader, what are your instructions?" The second elder asked, bowing his head respectfully.

Feng Xue looked at him as she sighed: "Sigh... just go and prepare to leave. We will have to leave after four days to reach the Crimson Sky sect on time.

Also, Prepare a list of disciples who want to participate in the tournament. Just assign some disciples to the task, and they will register the participants for the tournament."

"Yes, Sect Leader!" The second elder bowed before beginning to leave.

"Ah, one more thing. Ask Ashen and Yujin to participate. They are the most talented in our sect and since this tournament only has two categories. It will be best if they can win" The sect leader ordered the leaving elder.

Elder once again bowed with a nod of acknowledgment before leaving to complete her orders.

Meanwhile, Ashen indulged in pleasure with Shiyue in the last five days. Lady Suying would avoid Ashen as much as possible, not even making any eye contact.

Ling Yun was more obedient now and Veli was cheerful as always. Additionally, Shiyue wasn't resistant to him at all, she had become used to him. He even felt that if he stopped, she would ask for sex herself.

Right now, Ashen was in Veli's room, sitting beside her on the bed,

"Sister Veli, what do you think about Ling Yun?" Ashen asked with a gentle gaze and smile.

"Huh? Ling Yun? Why are you asking about her, Brother Ashen?" Veli questioned with a puzzled expression.

"Just answer me, sister Veli, what do you think about her?" Ashen insisted, maintaining his gentle voice.

Veli pondered on what to answer before replying: "She is beautiful and gorgeous. Lately, she has been behaving kindly too. I don't know about her talent in cultivation but other than that she is a top class woman"

Ashen nodded with a smile before informing: "She has a 6-star spirit!"

"What? It is the same level as sister Shiyue? Then why is she working as your maid?" Veli shouted in surprise.

Ashen smiled at her as he answered: "She had fallen in love with me, that's why!"

"What?" She was even more stunned to hear that.

"Hmm" Ashen hummed in affirmation before continuing: "I asked her to become my maid to prove her love, expecting her to decline but she accepted it. At first, I thought that she was after me because of my talent but now I think her love is genuine!"

Ashen looked at her to see her reaction, finding her reaction quite amusing.

She had a frown on her face as she asked: "Then do you like her too, brother Ashen?"

Ashen shook his head before answering: "No, I like someone else!"

Veli's eyes widened in shock: "What? You like someone else? Who?" She asked curiously.

"She is someone who is cute, cheerful and beautiful. Her voice is sweet and she listens to me. Do you want to guess who it is?" Ashen asked with a love-filled gaze.

Veli felt her heart race, doubting if he was talking about her.

She nodded: "Is it sister Shiyue?"

"Hahaha," Ashen laughed out loud before wiping the tears from the corners of his eyes: "Do you see her as cute and cheerful? I think she is quite the opposite, don't you think?"

She nodded weakly as her face began to turn red.

He said that it wasn't Ling Yun and her sister didn't fit that description.

And the only one she knew that fit that description was herself, but, asking if it was her was just too embarrassing.

What if he denied that she wasn't the one he liked?

Wouldn't it be too embarrassing?

She looked at his face with a blush, gathering up the courage to say her name, however, as soon as her gaze fell on him, she noticed how he was looking at her.

With eyes filled with pure love as if he was looking at someone he cherished. His gaze was gentle and full of kindness.

That gaze said a thousand words and gave her courage.

She slowly pointed her index finger to herself as she asked with a weak, flustered voice: "Is It... me?"

Instantly, she closed her eyes, not wanting to get rejected or have him laugh at her if she was wrong.

At this moment her heart desired for him to say that it was indeed her.

Ashen, intentionally waited for her to open her eyes. He knew that she would want him to say yes because it was obvious.

No girl would ever want you to reject her, even if she didn't love you. It was just something that you couldn't help.

Noticing the silence, Veli slowly opened her eyes only to find Ashen quietly looking at her face lovingly.

Once her eyes were open, Ashen nodded slowly with a smile as he leaned close to her ear, whispering with his breath brushing against her ears: "Indeed, It is you, Sister Veli!"

Her eyes widened as her heart raced at top speed. She felt delight and relief upon hearing his answer.

Ashen, then questioned: "What about you? Do you like me too?"

"I-I don't know!" Veli covered her face with her two hands, finding her situation embarrassing but there was a delightful feeling unknown to her.

Ashen came close to her as he offered: "Then let me help you find out whether you like me or not!"

"Did you want me to say your name when you asked whether it was you?" Ashen asked in a soothing voice.

Veli nodded with her face still covered, however, underneath her eyes were opened wide in doubt. Yeah, she wanted that. Why? She didn't know!

"Then, when I confessed right now, did you feel delighted? Did your heart begin to race?"

Veli again nodded as she heard Ashen's declaration: "Then that means... You like me!"

Then she felt Ashen hug her and her eyes widened in surprise.

"I have waited long for this!" Ashen whispered into her ears as she couldn't resist him, reciprocating the hug.
