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

153  Returning to Shang Clan!

In the afternoon, using the teleportation formation to the Shang Clan, Ashen returned with the children and Feng Xue.

They were teleported back to the familiar teleportation hall in which Ashen had arrived back when he teleported from the southern region.

His uncle, Shang Jiao arrived swiftly to welcome him. Shang Jiao was the overseer of the clan and the second in command, hence it was his duty to administer the clan.

"Welcome, Nephew Ashen. I see that you are unharmed. I assume you've accomplished your goal of visiting the north?" Shang Jiao inquired with a slight smile, maintaining his calm and dignity with a hint of warmth in the greeting and some hidden curiosity in his voice.

Ashen nodded, speaking respectfully: "Indeed, It's all thanks to Uncle's blessings!"

"Hahaha, you sure have become quite glib with your tongue." Shang Jiao laughed as he complimented. "It is quite opposite to how the rumors about you had spread in the past."

Shang Jiao had heard that Ashen had turned into a gloomy kid after awakening a 1-star spirit but the Ashen he witnessed with his own eyes was the exact opposite of the image he had of him in his mind.

To tell the truth, he was worried if announcing Ashen's participation in the fight for the throne this early was the right choice. Ashen was still young and inexperienced to go against the formidable factions of the Princes and Princesses who have been honing their power for decades.

However, he knew that revealing his spirit and cultivation level right now was crucial. Only then would different powers of the empire be tempted to join Ashen's faction. It was a necessary step to not lag too behind in this race.

He then decided to inform Ashen of the urgent matter at hand. It was because of this that he had come here personally instead of sending his subordinates to escort Ashen.

"The Eighth Princess is here to meet you. She arrived yesterday and decided to wait for you to return."

Saying that a hesitant expression hung on this powerful emperor realm cultivator's face before he informed:

"She also misbehaved with the women you brought here with you, though she didn't go too out of the line due to your Grandfather's presence, and no harm was done to them since they were under our clan's protection."

"What?" Ashen couldn't help but express his surprise. "But why would she do that?"

Shang Jiao shook his head in response calmly: "I don't know but the subordinate who was present there said that the Princess was angry because it was you who brought them." Nôv(el)B\\jnn

"Huh? But why would she care if I bring women with me?" Ashen was puzzled.

"It would be better if you ask the princess yourself!" Shang Jiao suggested.

Ashen shook his head, rejecting his suggestion as he said: "I'd like to meet the women she misbehaved with first!"

"Alright..." Shang Jiao nodded in agreement as he called his subordinate to escort Ashen to the women.

Meanwhile, Feng and the Yan siblings were escorted to a different large room.

While following the subordinate, Ashen pondered:

It would be better to gather some information before confronting the princess. Also, why don't I have any memories of the princes and princesses?

[Ding! Host, it's because they are memories that didn't come at the price you paid at the start. You can buy them at a price of 1 million Villain points, however, I'll warn you that they aren't happy memories.]

The system's voice resounded in his mind, and the screen displayed the number of Villain points required.

Though it'll be helpful in dealing with the princes and princesses, however, I can gather information with my own means instead of relying on the memories.

Also, 1 million is too expensive of a price for some memories.

There was also another reason that he didn't want to share, it was the pain that accompanied memories. His body shuddered even at the thought of that pain.

First, he decided to visit Lady Suying since she was the most mature, she wouldn't throw a tantrum like Veli nor act too cold like Shiyue.

Standing in front of Lady Suying's door, Ashen looked at the subordinate accompanying as he asked: "Just give me the direction for the other two rooms and leave!"

The subordinate nodded, bowing respectfully as he informed: "Lady Shiyue's room is the first room when you turn right from this pathway and Lady Veli's room is to the left."

Ashen nodded in understanding as the subordinate left, leaving Ashen alone in front of the door.

Knock! Knock!

He knocked on the door and in a few seconds, the door opened, revealing the beautiful mature woman adorned in a loose intricate blue dress.

This woman had a solemn expression when she opened the door, however, when her gaze fell on Ashen, a shine revealed in her eyes as if she was waiting for him.

Ashen calmly walked inside without saying anything before closing the door.

Lady Suying's heart raced quickly in anticipation and fear of Ashen's next action, however, contrary to her expectations, Ashen simply sat on the large bed before pointing to the space beside him.

Lady Suying went and sat beside him, resting her hands on her thighs and sitting in an elegant posture.

"So tell me what happened? What did the princess do?"

Ashen's calm voice entered her ears as the memories from yesterday poured into her mind.

"I was cultivating inside the room when the door suddenly opened despite being locked. It was clear that someone had pushed it with the intention of barging in..." She began recounting.

From behind the door, a beautiful woman with red hair styled neatly adorned in a royal red dress appeared in Suying's vision.

This beautiful woman was the Eighth Princess of the Primordial Dragon empire and 20 years older than Ashen —— Fang Lianhua.

As soon as she barged in, she yelled at Lady Suying: "You bitch, How dare you covet my Ashen?"

Lady Suying was surprised as she stood up, confused by the princess' words.

The princess, walking with quick steps, stopped just a breath away from Suying's face as she glared at her: "Tell me, what is your relation to Ashen? You are his maid right!"

"R-Relation?" Lady Suying blurted out, unable to answer her question.

Even she didn't know what her relation to Ashen was, how could she answer her?

"Hey, why are you taking so long to answer?"

She grabbed Lady Suying by the neck in anger.

At this moment, a powerful voice came from behind the door.

"Princess Lianhua, don't harm her. We are in the Shang Clan right now!"

Reminded by this voice, the princess released Lady Suying instantly.

Cough! Cough!

Lady Suying coughed due to being strangled by the princess.

The Princess bent to her eye level as she looked straight into her eyes and warned: "Listen, I don't care what your relation to him is, but remember you can never have him. He is mine and only mine! No one has the right to his beautiful body other than me! Only I deserve his love, understood!"

Saying that she turned around and left.
