Chapter 188: Look at Me
When Su Miantang was set down, she pulled out the elven earring from her hair—a sharp dagger forged from alloy. She was prepared to fight to the death if Kaisa tried to force himself on her. But unexpectedly, upon arriving at Zichen Baodian, the harem…
The scene was completely different from what she had imagined.
There were no magnificent three palaces and six courtyards, nor were there flocks of females competing for beauty. Instead, it was an open expanse. Looking closely, she could spot the silhouettes of females, but…
To the east, a female stood amidst the flowers. Her hair was disheveled, her dress soiled, and clear tear streaks marred her haggard face. It was as if she had suffered some monumental humiliation, crying ceaselessly. Yet, her entire body was restrained by combat power, rendering her completely immobile.
“Her?”
The young girl paused her dagger-wielding motion. Kaisa followed her gaze.
“She said she was very beautiful, just like a flower, so I fulfilled her wish.”
“Fulfilled?”
“I let her be a flower in the garden.”
Su Miantang: “…” You’re surprisingly nice.
To the west, in front of a giant smart electronic clock, stood a dancing female. She spun around the clock continuously, like a tireless robot.
But judging by her pale face and weak legs, she was already exhausted, looking as if she would pass out at any moment.
Her appearance was somewhat familiar.
It seemed to be…
Su Miantang recalled, “Isn’t this the Huanguang Goddess, the queen of dance?”
When she was first captured, she had woken up to hear everyone discussing her.
“Mhm, she said she wanted to dance for me for a lifetime. This angle in the harem is the best, and it can also keep time.”
Saying this, he gestured for her to look at the numbers on the electronic clock.
“From one o’clock to a quarter past four, she has spun 6,882 times, averaging one spin per 1.7 seconds.”
Su Miantang: “…” Your math is really good.
The scene to the south was even more bizarre.
A group of females wearing jewelry and luxurious clothes were actually gathered together—chopping wood?
“Are they being physically punished?”
“No.” Kaisa shook his head. “They said they liked my bed, so I’m having them make a few more here.”
Su Miantang: “…” Are you sure they said they liked your bed, and not getting into your bed?
Is his “palace” actually a “workshop”?
The young girl slowly raised her head, looking at the handsome male beastman’s serious face, finding no trace of a joke. She was suddenly a bit confused.
Is he playing abstract art, or does he really think this way?
It seems the aftereffects of his imperfect fusion are quite significant. Not only does he lack emotions, desires, and morals, but even his reading comprehension is worrisome.
No wonder he called her ugly the first time they met; his aesthetics must be somewhat flawed too.
He was like a newly born child; his understanding of this world was shallow and faint, acting entirely upon his own temperament and understanding.
Then when he said earlier to ‘do what you like to do’, it probably didn’t mean that either.
She couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Kaisa also slowly lowered his head. His raven-feather eyelashes drooped over his eyelids as he looked at the ‘dagger’ she tightly gripped in her hand, which was almost pressing against his heart. “What is this?”
“?!” Su Miantang quickly withdrew it, pretending to scratch her arm, and said awkwardly, “This is… a backscratcher.”
“A backscratcher?”
“It’s used to scratch an itch.”
“Then help scratch me too.”
Saying this, his large hand rested on his black-gold leather belt, seemingly about to take off his clothes in public. Su Miantang was so frightened she hurriedly held him down. “!” He really was completely ignorant of the ways of the world!
“You don’t need to take off your clothes to scratch an itch.”
“Then…”
“Like this is fine.”
She took the earring and lightly scratched his palm a few times. A subtle itch instantly spread along the textures, and Kaisa gradually shifted his gaze to her hand.
A thought sprouted in his mind.
What if I used her hand to scratch?
While scratching, Su Miantang tentatively looked at him. “Are you sure they entered the harem to do these things?”
“They said it themselves.”
“Then could it be that you misunderstood their meaning?”
“No.”
Kaisa was absolutely certain. Then, with a single palm strike through the air, he dragged the flower-pretending female and the spinning Huanguang Goddess over.
They fell heavily to the ground.
“It can only be that they were lying.”
Su Miantang: “Lying?”
“Ah!”
“Dadi, Dadi, I was wrong. I’ll never dare to touch the flowers you raised again!”
“Dadi, Dadi, please spare me! I’ll never dare to dance in front of your sleeping quarters again!”
The combat power on the two females was finally lifted. Their exteriors were tortured out of shape, and their psychological defenses had completely collapsed. Prostrating on the ground, their faces covered in tears, they begged him bitterly for mercy.
Kaisa: “Who are you, and why do you want to enter my harem?”
The flower-pretending female froze for a moment, then said, “I am the daughter of Bojue Weier from Boyena Xingqiu. Because I admire the grace of an SSS-grade combat male, I came here hoping to obtain your favor, Dadi.”
The Huanguang Goddess immediately followed, “Me too, but the difference is, the moment I saw you, I fell in love with you, even if I was tortured by you.”
“Is that so?”
Kaisa reached out his hand expressionlessly and stopped it three inches above their heads.
This familiar movement…
Just as Su Miantang thought he was going to throw them into the lake to feed the crows and vultures again, two scenes suddenly unrolled before her eyes, like magic.
One was of the flower-pretending female standing before an elite national army, solemnly swearing, “I swear, on this journey to Longyu, I will definitely seize the Longsui, become an SSS-grade female, kill all the enemies who oppose us, and strengthen Boyena Xingqiu!”
The other was of the Huanguang Goddess tightly embracing a galaxy leader, “Ata’er, don’t worry. With my beauty and dancing skills, there isn’t a single male in the world who wouldn’t fall for me, even an SSS-grade combat male. Once I pull out his dragon spine, swallow the marrow, and become an SSS-grade female, I’ll come back and kill your female master. By then, you and the planet will all be mine, hahahaha…”
H-How could this be?
Seeing these scenes, the flower-pretending female and the Huanguang Goddess instantly fainted from sheer terror.
Su Miantang was also stunned. “This is?”
“This is my awakened ability—Shiguang Jieyin. It can trace a person’s past or foresee their future.”
“So magical!”
Su Miantang was extremely shocked.
As expected of an SSS-grade combat male. Before, she thought the giant python’s mind-reading was already terrifying, but she didn’t expect something even more heaven-defying.
But…
Does this mean he had known the true purpose of these females coming to Longyu all along, which was why he acted so ruthlessly, not because of a cruel nature or abstract logic?
Her heart, fearful of being killed at any unknown moment, was finally completely put at ease.
“So…”
Kaisa retracted his hand and looked at her, his gaze dimming slightly.
“Special little female, what did you come here for?”
Su Miantang’s lips curled up slightly.
She hadn’t expected that the opportunity to escape, which she had wracked her brains for, would present itself right before her eyes.
“I told you before, I was captured by the Lianyu Molong. You didn’t believe me. But given how many people have deceived you, it’s understandable. You can just use Shiguang Jieyin to look at me.”
As long as he looked, he would see that she was captured by the Lianyu Molong, and not like these females trying to seize his Longsui. Then he would let her go!
But Kaisa’s eyelashes fluttered lightly.
He didn’t seem to want to look.
If he looked, she wouldn’t be special anymore.
“Look at it!”
Seeing his hesitant expression, Su Miantang hurriedly urged.
The man turned around, and she immediately panicked. “Why aren’t you looking?”
“I don’t want to look.”
“No, you must want to!”
The young girl grew anxious, and her strict voice made him freeze again.
No one had ever commanded him before.
“Quickly look, look right now!”
She picked up his hand and placed it directly on top of her head. The peculiar touch of her hair made Kaisa’s knuckles twitch. Under her constant nagging, he actually activated his combat power.
—Shiguang Jieyin.
A stream of purple-gold light rippled through the air, similar to when he looked at the flower-pretending female and the Huanguang Goddess earlier, but the scene that unrolled left them utterly astounded.
It was completely empty, with nothing inside.
