The Psychopath's Harem

The air in the room was thick with tension as Sword Fairy\'s education session came to an end. Not a single word was spoken for what felt like an eternity, leaving an unbearable silence that hung over everyone like a dark cloud.

Xia Tian couldn\'t stand the awkwardness any longer and shifted his gaze to the remaining members who had accompanied Xia Chen.

A wicked grin spread across his face as he spoke, causing both girls to recoil in fear.

"Little brother Chen, won\'t you introduce your little girlfriends to me?" Xia Tian\'s voice was laced with malice, and his tone made it clear that he was looking for trouble.

The Sword Fairy (Xuan Ruyan) raised an eyebrow. \'He is just a junior,\' she thought. She knew Xia Tian was purposefully ignoring her as if she were of no significance to him. The ever-tall and proud Sword Fairy wasn\'t used to such treatment. So she convinced herself that Xia Tian was a junior, and in the end, she shouldn\'t bicker with him.

It would be a lie to say she wasn\'t impressed by him, but the words alone were not enough to move her frozen heart.

For now, she decided not to pursue the matter of the Dark Soul Sect. Even if she wanted to, she couldn\'t due to the presence of strong power beside him.

She might be the strongest overlord, but if faced against an army of overlords from the Xia Family, she would be helpless, as a guardian she should avoid such calamity rather than taking it head on.

Xia Chen\'s face twisted in disgust at the way Xia Tian addressed him. \'To think that I, the great heavenly demon, would have to see this day,\' he thought to himself.

Despite his arrogance, Xia Chen couldn\'t help feeling intimidated by Xia Tian\'s presence.

He knew he had to keep his cool and maintain his composure in front of everyone, but the lingering shadow of Xia Tian made it difficult for him to do so.

With a brief introduction, Xia Chen tried his best to keep his voice steady and his demeanor calm, but deep down, he was seething with anger.

The first girl, Zhu Jinjing, had short brown hair and was a commoner with no cultivation. She had been sold in the city black market before being rescued by Xia Chen.

The second girl, Cheng Ting, seemed to have a spark despite Xia Tian\'s earlier show.

After the introductions were made, Xia Ying took over and began explaining the purpose of their visit, which was related to her foolish brother Xia Chen.

Cheng Ting had a sister named Chen Meili, who worked as a waiter in Hundred Fragrance Restaurant restaurant. Su Yanling knew Chen Meili and confirmed that she worked here but was absent today.

Xia Chen\'s displeasure was evident as he had come specifically to see Chen Meili. Unlike her sister, Cheng Ting, who had readily accepted him, Chen Meili was still hesitant and needed time to sort out her feelings.

While Sword Fairy remained unfazed, Xia Tian was thrilled by the cliched drama.

Finally, he could teach his guine pig some more lessons, and go further in his experiment!

Right then, Cheng Ting eagerly reached out her hands, her fingers quivering with anticipation as she introduced herself to her new brother.

With a voice bubbling over with excitement, she exclaimed, "Hello Brother! I am Cheng Ting, delighted to make your acquaintance!" Her eyes sparkled with joy as she waited eagerly for his response.

As Cheng Ting\'s voice rang out in a burst of excitement, everyone\'s attention was suddenly drawn to her.

They turned to look at her in surprise, their eyebrows raised in amazement.

No one had expected this quiet and unassuming young girl to be so outgoing and vivacious.

Zhu Jinjing watched Cheng Ting with a mixture of amusement and exasperation.

She shook her head helplessly, knowing that this was just how Cheng Ting was - she had a way of brightening up the mood wherever she went, no matter what the circumstances.

It was both endearing and exhausting to be around her, but Zhu Jinjing couldn\'t help but love her all the same.

As everyone stood there, impressed by Cheng Ting\'s lively and outgoing personality, Xia Tian\'s eyes narrowed into slits. He fixed his gaze on Cheng Ting and spoke in a low, menacing voice that sent shivers down everyone\'s spine.

"If you don\'t want to die," he growled, his words dripping with malice and threat, "you better not put on that act in front of me." His tone was cold and unforgiving, and his eyes blazed with a fierce intensity that made it clear he meant every word he said.

Cheng Ting\'s smile faltered for a moment, her eyes widening in shock and fear.

Xia Chen rose to his feet and glared at Xia Tian. "What do you mean by that, brother Tian?" he demanded, his tone aggressive.

He had been able to understand the Ran sisters\' case, but this one left him confused.

What was wrong with Cheng Ting?

Despite his hostility, Xia Chen still asked for an explanation, putting some trust in Xia Tian\'s words.

After the last incident, Xia Chen had become cautious around women.

Cheng Ting recovered from her shock and forced a smile. "Have I met brother Tian before?" she asked, uncertain under Xia Tian\'s scrutinizing gaze.

Xia Tian shook his head and smiled slightly. "Unfortunately, we haven\'t," he replied.

Cheng Ting\'s eyes flickered as she nodded, still pondering over Xia Tian\'s words.

He had stressed the word \'unfortunately\', and she sensed a different meaning behind it.

Normally, it would mean that Xia Tian regretted not meeting her earlier.

But right now, he had used it as if he would have had more fun if he had met this type of woman before.

No one else understood the meaning behind Xia Tian\'s words, but Cheng Ting didn\'t speak further, feeling quite uncomfortable from their last conversation.

Suddenly, Sword Fairy stood up. "It\'s time to go back to the sect," she announced in a serious yet soothing voice.

Xia Chen and the others nodded in agreement, but Xia Ying protested, "What about brother Tian?" She made it clear that she prioritized Xia Tian over everyone else, and if he was staying, she might as well stay too.

Xuan Ruyan glanced at Xia Tian, studying him carefully from head to toe.

Her eyes glowed with a strange light as she sensed his cultivation.

Both Xia Chen and Xia Tian had similar cultivation, which stunned her. Surprisingly, she wasn\'t able to see past both of their talents.

Then, she shifted her gaze to Ye Suyin and her eyes widened in disbelief. \'Tenth stage of the earth profound realm?!\' She stood there frozen, unable to believe what she was seeing.

While Xuan Ruyan was in awe, Ye Suyin was chatting with Bai Xue.

In a short amount of time, she had grown quite fond of the little qilin.

She sensed Sword Fairy\'s gaze on her and looked at her with confusion.

Ye Suyin was completely unaware of how monstrous her cultivation talent was, especially after assimilating the thousand poison yin body.

Xuan Ruyan shook her head helplessly at Ye Suyin\'s innocent expression.

Her mind was already spinning after just one conversation with Xia Tian.

She decided to go back and rest for a while.

She didn\'t even bother to look at Bai Xue, although the latter\'s appearance was striking. There were no signs of cultivation from her, but Xuan Ruyan assumed it was because of her age and that she had not started cultivating yet.

As for Nyx, Xuan Ruyan had a few thoughts, but she didn\'t want to make any assumptions just yet.

In the end, she let out a sigh and shook her head wearily. "Fine, they can join the sect," she muttered, already mentally exhausted at the thought of dealing with the Xia family.

She was about to move them all to the Holy Water Palace when Xia Tian rudely interrupted her.

"Who said I\'m going to join?" he sneered, his mocking tone grating on Xuan Ruyan\'s nerves.

She couldn\'t help but wonder if he had something against her as well.

Xia Ying, ever the follower, pouted and declared that she would leave as well.

Xuan Ruyan felt her troubles multiplying as she tried to keep track of the Xia family\'s antics.

Just as she was about to protest, Xia Tian spoke up again. "I don\'t need to join the sect to come there, do I?" His words made Xuan Ruyan\'s eyes widen in shock, but she couldn\'t deny the logic behind them.

Xia Ying and the others looked to her for an answer, and with a heavy heart, Xuan Ruyan nodded.

There was no rule against stopping people from visiting the Holy Water Palace, after all.

She just wanted to avoid any more trouble and finally rest, but little did she know, there was more turmoil waiting for her at the sect.

Xuan Ruyan knew it would be better if the Princess of Destruction didn\'t follow Xia Tian, but it seemed the princess had other plans.

Before Xuan Ruyan could even voice her concerns, the princess vanished like a ghost, leaving Xuan Ruyan to sigh in frustration.

With a resigned shake of her head, Xuan Ruyan drew her sword and began constructing a teleportation formation.

It was rare to see someone use a sword as a catalyst for drawing a formation, but in the presence of such monstrous individuals, it was hardly surprising.

As she worked, Xuan Ruyan couldn\'t help but wish that the princess wouldn\'t start begging Xia Tian again in front of everyone. The last thing they needed was more drama and chaos.

Little did she knew, with Xia Tian around, there would always be chaos in her life!

If the trouble doesn\'t find him, he would find trouble!
