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

Chapter 194 Martial Arts Arena: Fellow Cultivators Advance Together, Beautiful Women Side by Side, Firmer WillThe morning sunlight pierced through the clouds, gently spilling over the Martial Arts Field of the Nishen Imperial Palace, illuminating the broad, level ground and the many upright, elegant figures.

After the deep emotional outpouring during their late-night talk in the bedchamber, the bond between Su Chen and the fifteen beauties had grown even deeper, their hearts connected and their souls intertwined. Today, there was no idle sitting or tender whispering; instead, they had come to the Martial Arts Field together to cultivate as companions, protecting one another with their power, showcasing the unique tacit understanding and deep affection shared by the sixteen of them.

Su Chen wore black casual clothes, his posture as upright as a green pine. His God-Defying Power was restrained within his body, no longer possessing the sharp, oppressive aura of one who slays gods, leaving only a gentle and noble temperament. He stood in the center of the Martial Arts Field, his gaze slowly sweeping over the fifteen beauties lined up before him, his eyes filled with an inseparable tenderness.

Xiao Wu was dressed in a pink and white martial arts outfit, looking agile and playful. With her Soft Bones Rabbit Spirit possessed, her long rabbit ears twitched slightly, and her spirit power flowed lightly around her. With a gentle tap of her feet, her body rose into the air like willow catkins, tracing a graceful arc in mid-air. Her movements were light and swift, fully displaying the agility and elegance of the Soft Bones Demon Rabbit. After landing, she immediately ran to Su Chen, looking up at him with bright eyes full of the joy of seeking praise, her soft voice crisp and pleasant:

“Brother Su Chen, look! My speed is even faster now, and my movement technique is steadier!”

Su Chen gave a light chuckle and stepped forward, his fingertips gently brushing the stray hairs by her cheek, his tone tender and doting:

“Yes, my Xiao Wu is becoming more and more impressive. But no matter how impressive you get, you’re still that little girl in my arms who needs to be cherished.”

“I don’t want to be cherished all the time!” Xiao Wu pouted, muttering with feigned dissatisfaction, yet she subconsciously leaned closer to Su Chen, her arms tightly hugging his. “I want to get stronger together with Brother Su Chen, to protect our home and this continent together!”

“Alright,” Su Chen softly agreed, his eyes full of indulgence. “Everything will be as you say.”

Nearby, Zhu Zhuqing had already changed into a form-fitting, ink-black martial arts suit, her long hair tied into a neat high ponytail, outlining her slender and vigorous figure. Her Hell Civet Spirit quietly possessed her, and a faint Shadow Power rose around her body. With a flash, she disappeared from her spot like a ghost, appearing beside Su Chen in the next instant. Her movements were swift and silent, displaying the sharpness and decisiveness of a Shadow Knight.

Yet she did not release even a hint of killing intent; she merely leaned gently against Su Chen’s shoulder, her cool voice carrying a trace of laziness and dependence as she whispered:

“Brother Su Chen, I used to cultivate to survive, to evade those endless pursuits. Now I cultivate only to keep up with your footsteps, so I can be by your side the moment you need me.”

Su Chen’s heart warmed. He reached out and gently took her waist, pulling her into his arms, his voice deep and solemn:

“I know. But I never need you to risk your life for me, nor do I need you to shoulder any danger. I pacified the world and unified the continent; everything I did was so that you would no longer have to face slaughter or endure danger.”

“You only need to be my Shadow Knight, the Zhu Zhuqing who can be willful, spoiled, and carefree by my side. That is enough.”

Zhu Zhuqing’s eyes reddened slightly, and a thick warmth rose in her cool features. She tightly hugged Su Chen’s waist, burying her cheek against his chest, feeling his warm embrace and steady heartbeat. All her strength and sharpness melted into tenderness at this moment.

“Brother Su Chen...”

“I’m here.”
