Divine Harem: My Sect of Heavenly Beauties

Chapter 45  Ning Xi

Shen Yu was talking with Li Hai when a red headed woman blocked their path. She held a big gourd of bottle in her hand and seemed drunk. She looked at Li Hai and then the trio.

Li Hai tensed up slightly seeing the woman and bowed.

"Greetings, Manager. I didn't know you were back."

"It's fine. So What's the work?"

"These three wants to register their sect."

"I see, you can go. I'll see everything from here on."

Although Li Hai was confused as to why the tyrant of a manager was doing his job, he didn't dare to ask. He simply nodded and ran away as if he didn't want to be in the woman's presence.

The red headed woman scoffed and looked at Shen Yu and others. Turning around, she said.

"Let's go, it's only a matter of seconds."

Shen Yu silently nodded his head and followed the manager along with Ying Yue and Xiao Lan. However, there was a light frown on his face.

'Why is she interested in us?'

He had seen doubt in Li hai's face and could guess that the woman never did these small works. That's why he was confused as to why the woman was giving them special treatment and even seemed interested.

He could have just ignored and went with the flow but he could feel that something was wrong. Lan Ming had also approached them like that and she was a high ranking figure in a Tier 2 sect. He had not given it much thought back then but now that something similar had happened again, he was doubtful. Nôv(el)B\\jnn

'Hey, system. Do you have any idea why is it happening?'

[Hmm? It's probably because of your power. You are the most powerful man in this realm, Master. Also, as you already know that every being affects the world in one way or another and powerful Cultivators affect the world more as they go higher in realms. But you're different. Not to mention that you aren't from this world, you're also so powerful that you don't affect the world at all because you exist out of it. I'm guessing that Lan Ming and this woman both had guessed that you're a powerful man because of these symptoms.]

'Ahh! So it's all because of that. Normal people weren't able to see any difference because they don't have a keen sense of world. Only after forming a core does one truly connect with the world so only Core Formation Realm people were able to see the symptoms. As for Yue'er, it's probably because of her high intuition she has because of being deeply connected to the world from her birth.'

Shen Yu analysed his situation quickly and wanted to facepalm. Because of sudden power up, he was making so many mistakes. But he wasn't discouraged. Only by doing mistakes could be learn and improve, and that's what he would do.

He thought of something and then decided to set his Cultivation base later on. Since the red headed woman already had a guess of his identity then he would just use it to his benefits.

'And she doesn't really seem affected by my strength as Ming was. Interesting.'

Soon, they reached a room which had a red door. The red headed woman opened the door and led them inside. In the room, various equipments were places carefully. This was the room where the requirements were checked, which were mainly the cultivation base of others.

There were many treasures which could mask one's Cultivation base, so they couldn't rely on only their senses. They needed to check everyone with proper equipments.

"My name is Ning Xi and I'm the Branch Manager of Green Silk Town Branch of Heavenly Sect Federation. And let's set aside these formalities first."

The red headed woman introduced herself as she went behind a desk, and began to rummage through the drawers. She then put her wine gourd on a self and searched the drawers carefully.

After that, she pulled out two parchments made from special Spiritual Creature hide and put it on the table. Then she sat on the chair and pointed at the sofa, saying.

"Take the seat, please. I hate formalities and all the pretending so let's just be frank with each other, is that okay with you?"

"We share same thoughts then. I'm rather awkward in conversation so I feel happy in talking with people like you."

Shen Yu smiled as he relaxed and sat on the sofa along with his wives, who hadn't said a word till now. They were just listening to everything.

Regarding that, Shen Yu could only sigh. Ying Yue behaved like a shadow so she didn't talk much and Xiao Lan wasn't a talkative person and especially hated to interact with others. It was as if she hated the world itself. He couldn't really blame her for that so he just let her be.

Ning Xi smiled and said.

"That's even better. You're the first person to say that to me, heh. Well, considering your strength it isn't much of a surprise. So, I'll ask my first question regarding that. Why is someone of your strength doing here?"

Her face grew serious as she continued.

"I want to know why someone from he Holy Lands is here in this small town. Because let me tell you something, I'll protect this town at any cost, even if it means dying. I know you're far superior to me but I don't care about all that."

The temperature of room began to increase as the air felt suffocating. Ning Xi sat on the chair with her aura spreading in the room, making the temperature high.

Shen Yu on the other hand was slightly confused. Why did the situation suddenly turned so serious? And what did he do to gain Ning Xi's hostility?

"Wait! What holy lands?"

"I see. You're right, you're from outside so how would you know? Well, that's what everyone from Qing Empire calls the world beyond Hollow Mountains since it's like a holy land for us. Anyways, do tell me why are you here because you certainly aren't from the Four Major Sects."

Ning Xi replied, calming down lightly seeing that Shen Yu wasn't reacting to her provocation.
