Divine Harem: My Sect of Heavenly Beauties

Chapter 7: Telling the truth

Shen Yu asked, seeing how quickly Ying Yue finished the tea. Honestly, he was somewhat worried about her. She took time to answer every question. Was her mind a little slow or something?

He shook his head, deciding to just deal with it when he would help her in Cultivation. It wouldn\'t be good for her if she remained like that.

"Oh yeah! This tea is great. Thank you for such generosity."

Ying Yue put down the cup and bowed her head as she thanked Shen Yu. She thought that the tea was special and Shen Yu had brought it out for her.

"That\'s great. I\'ll leave a packet in your room, and if you need more, you can just ask me."

Shen Yu stood up and said, pointing outside.

"Shall we go outside and talk?"

"Yes, thank you."

Ying Yue stood up and followed Shen Yu outside the room. Upon opening the door, a magnificent sight greeted her. Tall, majestic buildings towered over her, emanating a dangerous yet peaceful aura. Every building looked like it was craved with divine symbols and made from the flesh and blood of Divine beings.

Ying Yue was surprised but composed herself quickly. She had adapted to miraculous things happening around Shen Yu, so even seeing such a Divine, majestic Sect didn\'t surprise her much. The only thing that truly surprised her was the amount and density of Qi in the Sect. It was overflowing, but it wasn\'t suffocating.

Excessive of everything was bad, even Qi, but in this divine Sect, the Qi was tame and came to her naturally. It was as if it was a tamed beast greeting her and playing with her.

She was truly stunned and silently followed Shen Yu as he showed her around like a professional salesman. After all, he wanted to lure her into the Sect, so he needed to show its features.

"About those assassins, what do you want to do with them? They are still in the formation."

Shen Yu asked, walking on the soft green grass with his hands on his back, looking like an experienced expert. Well, he needed to look like an expert if he wanted to impress Ying Yue and make her join the Sect.

"We can let them die in the formation. I already know the identity of the people who have attacked, so they hold no value to me. I\'ll be happy if they die a horrible death in that formation."

Ying Yue said, trying not to mix her hatred in her tone. Her hatred wasn\'t targeted at the Assassins but the people who sent them. She was so loyal to them, yet they had planned to kill her. She would take revenge on them.

"I see, that\'s an easy task."

Shen Yu\'s lips tugged upwards as he clicked his tongue, changing the formation where the Assassins were. It wasn\'t much of a change, but it would undoubtedly make the assassins die a horrible death.

He liked that Ying Yue was also ruthless to her enemies. Being kind to your enemies is being cruel to yourself, and he had learned that lesson the hard way, so he was happy that Ying Yue already knew that.

He was really liking her more and more. She was the perfect candidate to be the first member of his Sect. Now, he just needed to convince her.

"So, where are you going next?"

Hearing Shen Yu\'s question, Ying Yue fell into a dilemma. She was an orphan and brought into an organization that trained her to be an assassin. Her life was just that. Now that the same organization had betrayed her and was possibly looking for her, she had nowhere to go.

She wanted to join Shen Yu\'s Sect, even if it meant joining his harem as his woman. It was more so because she had come to like Shen Yu as a man. He was so powerful yet so kind. He could have killed her, forced himself upon her, and many things, but he did nothing. He just helped her and asked nothing in return. Where would she find such a man in this cruel world?

However, looking at the Divine Sect, she didn\'t know whether she was worthy of being here. She was just a failure compared to this grand Sect. Would Shen Yu accept a weakling like her?

Seeing that Shen Yu was looking at her with concern, she answered quickly to avoid making him wait long.

"I don\'t have any family or anywhere to go. I was just a rogue Cultivator. Actually, I don\'t want to hide anything from you, but I was part of the organization that sent those assassins."

Ying Yue took a deep breath after telling the truth to Shen Yu. She was feeling her heart getting heavy because she hadn\'t told the truth to Shen Yu. He was being so kind to her and she was hiding the truth from him? She really didn\'t like it and decided to be honest. She didn\'t want to start a relationship based on lies with Shen Yu, even if it meant he would throw her out.

Shen Yu raised an eyebrow and then shook his head. He quickly understood everything as he thought about all the cliched tropes he had read in xianxia novels.

\'She must be a talented lady working hard in an organization since she was an orphan. Unfortunately, she was too talented, so the organization felt threatened and decided to eliminate her. She probably easily fell for their trap because of how kind and innocent she is. What a fucked up world, her story is really similar to Shen Yu\'s. Poor girl. But I\'m glad she decided to come clean; this way, we can have a good relationship.\'

Shen Yu was mostly correct in his guess, but there was a slight mistake, and well, nobody was going to correct him.

"Then, how about you join my sect?"
