Divine Harem: My Sect of Heavenly Beauties

Chapter 46  Mortals

Shen Yu was really confused about Ning Xi's attitude but seeing that she had calmed down, he decided to know more about it.

Shen Yu sighed and relaxed as he said.

"Yes, I am from the Holy Lands you speak of, in a way. As for why I am here, it's to relax and make a sect here. And that's what's I'm doing. Also, why do you seem so against the people from Holy Lands?"

"Are you really just here to make a sect?"

Ning Xi narrowed her eyes and asked. She didn't care if Shen Yu was the most powerful or anything, she just wanted to confirm that he wasn't a threat to the town.

"Don't worry, I'm not someone who kills mortals. They are off my radar."

"I'll trust you on that, considering you haven't caused any commotion till now. And I apologise if I was rude."

"It's fine, but what is this all about Holy Lands?"

Shen Yu asked in confusion. He didn't mind Ning Xi's attitude since she was right in her own way and he could see that she was rather of open personality. But he was confused as to why was he targeted?

Ning Xi sighed and picked up the two parchments. She began to write something on them while explaining.

"It's because of the past events that happened in the Qing Empire. The Four Major Sects aren't the only ones who are eyeing for the Qing Empire so there had been some times when a few powerful people came from the Holy Lands and tried to cause chaos here or maybe to take over the Qing Empire. It can also be that they just wanted to disturb the Four Major Sects but they cause chaos nonetheless.

"Honestly, I wouldn't care even if those sects destroyed each other. But they always involve mortals in their matters and I don't like that. Cultivating is journey filled with blood and bones so killing is fine in it, however why do they have to include mortals in it?"

The more she spoke, the more she gritted her teeth in anger. It was as if she couldn't wait to tear apart the Four Major Sects and every person trying to harm the innocent mortals.

Shen Yu sighed, understanding the gist of it. He even shared similar thoughts with Ning Xi. After all, majority of Qing Empire were mortals and Cultivators came from them. However, these mortals were the one who always suffered in conflicts of cultivators.

"That's actually one of the reasons I came here. The cultivators are nothing but hypocrites and even though I myself am a Cultivator, I don't like their ways. That's why I came here since that side is filled with nothing but treacherous bastards and honestly, after going everything I'm tired of living in that environment. That's one of the main reasons I came to this side to make Sect from scratch and make it the top sect in whole world. If I have the most powerful sect I would be able to influence the world more." Shen Yu said, mixing some of his feelings and some bullshit to make his goal seemed righteous. Well, it was in a way but his goal for the sect was different.

Ning Xi's eyes shined as she looked at Shen Yu and asked.

"You mean, the outside world is even worse than here?"

"Pretty much yeah. Here atleast mortals make the majority and most Cultivators comes from mortals so they aren't treated badly. However it's different that side since Cultivators mostly comes from already established clans. For them mortals are nothing but servents and basically a resource for them to use. So yeah, you can see why I came here."

"But if you want to make a powerful sect, wouldn't it be better for you to choose members of sect from Holy Lands? Why are you making your Sect here where almost everyone has bad or mid talent?"

"Because I don't care about power and talent of people. I haven't worked all my life for nothing. I have everything one needs to make the sect strongest but need people who could help me in that. That's why I want to make sure the foundation of my sect is strong and everyone who joins my sect has a good heart."

Ning Xi lingered for a while then began to laugh loudly. She controlled herself and grinned.

"You're a unique product, you know that. I haven't seen someone like you in my whole life. Also, I apologise again since I had actually the Lie Detection Rune Formation engraved in this room to see your telling the truth and thankfully you are."

Shen Yu was speechless but didn't say anything about that. He smiled and asked.

"So you don't have any doubts and questions?"

"Nope, I only needed to know if you will kill people of this town or not but you already told a lot. If you don't mind having someone as rude as me as your friend, I will like to be your friend and help in your cause. After all, that's the dream I had once."

"Why will I have a problem?"

Ning Xi chuckled and extended her hand, having a big smile on her face. Shen Yu could only smile in helplessness and shake her hand. Although Ning Xi's outgoing personality made him a little awkward, she was rare species in Cultivators who actually cared for mortals. That alone made him respect her.

Although she might come as rude, he knew she was just being honest and didn't really mean anything. She was just her, inside and outside. That's why Shen Yu liked her personality.

However, he was a little speechless at the turns of events. He found it odd he was meeting so many beautiful women with great personality so quickly. It definitely made him suspicious.

'System?'

[I don't know what you're talking about.]

'So it's really you!'

Shen Yu sighed but didn't bother thinking about it. It was for his benefits anyways. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

"Hello? What are you thinking about?"

Shen Yu's body jerked as he realised he was still holding the rough hands of Ning Xi. He coughed and took back his hand.

"I was just thinking about my Cultivation. I need to lower it down."
