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

Chapter 193 A Nighttime Conversation in the Palace Recalls Our First Encounter; Deep Affection Warms the Cold NightThe night was ink-black, and the moonlight was like water, gently spilling into the sleeping quarters of the Nishen Imperial Palace.

After the long period of post-war cleanup and continental unification, from sealing the God Realm Passage to wiping out the remnants of the Spirit Hall, this land finally welcomed true peace. Su Chen stood at the pinnacle of the Douluo Continent, holding the God-Defying Power, dominating the four seas and eight wildernesses. Yet, what he cared about most was never the status of supreme ruler, but the fifteen gentle beauties nestled in his arms.

The lights in the hall were soft, the warmth enveloping, and the hearth fire gently leaped, completely dispelling the slight chill in the air.

Su Chen leaned languidly on the wide soft couch, his posture relaxed, his demeanor noble yet lazy. Surrounding him were fifteen figures; each was an indispensable light on his path against heaven, a treasure he would protect at all costs.

Xiao Wu was the most clingy, dressed in a pink and white gown, her soft rabbit ears trembling slightly. She was curled up on Su Chen’s lap, like a Soft Bones Rabbit that had found its warmest refuge. Her arms wrapped around Su Chen’s waist, and her cheek pressed tightly against his chest, listening to his steady, powerful heartbeat, filling her heart with a complete sense of security. She lifted her small face, her lively eyes glistening with fragmented tears, her voice soft and sticky with endless devotion:

”Su Chen Gege, do you still remember the first time we met? In the Star Dou Great Forest, I was being hunted by people from the Spirit Hall with nowhere to run, and you descended from the sky and stood in front of me... From that moment, I decided I would follow you for the rest of my life.”

Su Chen lowered his head, his fingertips gently stroking the soft rabbit ears atop her head, his thumb lightly rubbing the fine fur. The doting in his eyes almost overflowed. He softly kissed her smooth forehead, his voice deep and tender, like a vow carved into the soul:

”I remember. From the day I met you, I swore I would never let you suffer any harm again, and I would never let you watch the moon alone again. Every day from now on, I will be by your side.”

Xiao Wu’s nose stung, and tears finally slid down, yet she smiled blissfully, burying herself back into Su Chen’s embrace, unwilling to get up again.

Beside them, Zhu Zhuqing, in a fitted ink-black dress, had shed the sharpness and cold glamour of the Hell Civet, and lowered all the guard and tension of the Shadow Knight. She leaned quietly against Su Chen’s shoulder, her long eyelashes trembling slightly, her cold voice carrying a hint of laziness and coyness as she murmured softly:

”Su Chen Gege, handling state affairs is so boring... Will you play with me?”

Throughout her journey, she had struggled through bloody noble disputes and fought on the edge of life and death battlefields, having long grown accustomed to disguising herself with strength. But by Su Chen’s side, she no longer needed to be the decisive Shadow Emissary; she only needed to be a small woman who could rely on him and act spoiled without worry.

Su Chen’s heart softened. He unhesitatingly pushed all memorials and documents aside, reached out, and gently pulled Zhu Zhuqing’s delicate body into his arms, settling her securely on his lap. He lowered his head, rubbing his nose against her forehead, his voice filled with infinite indulgence and affection:

”Alright, I’ll play with my Shadow Knight until she’s had enough.”

”From now on, there will be no more complicated state affairs for you to worry about, and no more life-and-death crises for you to face. I conquered this world not for you to help me govern it, but so that you can forever be carefree and be your most authentic self.”

Zhu Zhuqing’s eyes instantly turned red. She tightly hugged Su Chen’s neck, burying her face in his neck hollow, her voice choked with emotion:

”Su Chen Gege, with you here, I’m not afraid of anything...”
