Rebellious Lord of All Realms: Su Chen's Dark Harem

Searching for the Soul Ring in the Black Forest, Karin playfully hugs her.After a day of rest, Su Chen led the God-Defying Squad deep into the Black Forest—he needed to find suitable spirit rings for the four Heroines to elevate their strength and prepare for their journey to Suotuo City.

Deep within the Black Forest, ancient trees soared into the sky, their dense branches and leaves obscuring the heavens. Only sporadic sunlight filtered through the gaps, forming dappled spots of light. The air was thick with the scent of Spirit Beasts, and occasional roars echoed, carrying a sense of danger.

”Lord Su Chen, there are so many Spirit Beasts here!” Qing Lin rode her Dark Magic Snake, excitedly looking around. The Small Black Snake Swarm beside her hissed, cautiously scouting their surroundings. ”Are there any powerful snake-type Spirit Beasts? I want to subdue them!”

”Don’t rush, we’ll take them one by one.” Su Chen chuckled, rubbing her head. His God-Defying Byakugan activated, and his black-gold eyes swept across the surroundings, instantly locking onto several powerful Spirit Beast auras. ”Ahead, there’s a thousand-year Healing-Type Spirit Beast, the ’Spirit Mist Deer,’ suitable for Karin; to the west, there’s a thousand-year Shadow Leopard, suitable for Zhuqing... Oh, she hasn’t joined yet, I’ll make a note of it; to the north, there’s a thousand-year Thunder Snake, perfect for Qing Lin; as for Hinata, I’ll help you find a Spirit-Type Soul Beast to strengthen your Byakugan.”

”Thank you, Lord Su Chen!” Karin’s eyes lit up, and she quickly followed Su Chen’s steps, her purple long hair fluttering behind her, looking especially agile.

Hinata followed beside Su Chen, her cheeks slightly flushed, and whispered, ”Lord Su Chen, you don’t need to go out of your way for me. I... I can find one myself.”

”Silly girl, your business is my business.” Su Chen stopped, turned to look at her, and raised a hand to brush a fallen leaf from her hair, his fingertips inadvertently grazing her cheek. ”I want all my darlings to become strong, so no one can bully you.”

Hinata’s cheeks instantly turned crimson. She lowered her head, twisting the hem of her clothes with her hands, and softly replied, ”Mm, thank you, Lord Su Chen.”

Kushina walked over, hooked her arm around Su Chen’s neck, and said with a hint of jealousy, ”Stinky Boy, only doting on those two? Where’s my spirit ring?”

”Of course, you won’t be left out.” Su Chen lowered his head, his nose brushing against her red hair, and chuckled, ”Ahead, there’s a thousand-year Fire-attribute Spirit Beast, the ’Crimson Flame Lion.’ Its spirit ring is perfect for your chakra blade. I’ll help you get it in a bit.”

”That’s more like it.” Kushina released her grip with satisfaction, but still subconsciously linked her arm with his, walking alongside him.

The group headed towards the Spirit Mist Deer. Along the way, they encountered several hundred-year Spirit Beasts, all easily dealt with by Qing Lin’s snake swarm. Soon, they arrived at a misty valley where the Spirit Mist Deer was drinking from a stream, surrounded by a faint green healing mist, appearing gentle and harmless.

”That’s it!” Karin’s eyes flashed with excitement as she turned to Su Chen. ”Lord Su Chen, may I try?”

”Of course.” Su Chen nodded. ”Be careful, although the Spirit Mist Deer’s healing mist is gentle, it can also paralyze nerves.”

Karin nodded, took a deep breath, and released her green Healing Soul Power, walking towards the Spirit Mist Deer. The Spirit Mist Deer sensed danger, raised its head, a flicker of vigilance in its eyes. The healing mist around it instantly thickened, sweeping towards Karin.

”Be careful!” Su Chen quickly warned, but saw Karin skillfully evade the mist, raising her hand to release several green energy blades, attacking the Spirit Mist Deer.

The Spirit Mist Deer leaped lightly, dodging the energy blades, then lowered its head. Its antlers glowed faintly green, and several healing rays shot towards Karin. Karin was caught off guard and hit by the rays, her body stiffening, her movements becoming sluggish.

”Karin!” Su Chen’s heart tightened. Just as he was about to help, he saw Karin grit her teeth, force herself to stand, and release God-Defying Healing Soul Power. A green halo enveloped her, instantly neutralizing the paralyzing effect.

”Lord Su Chen, I can do it!” Karin turned to Su Chen with a determined smile, then charged towards the Spirit Mist Deer again.
