The Psychopath's Harem

Chapter 24 Protagonist With A System Stepped To Death?



Somewhere in the space.

"Ahhhh!!!"

A blonde hair girl was clinging to Xia Tian in fear.

"The spatial tunnel is not that scary." Xia Chen thought to himself.

It was not the spatial tunnel that made Xia Ying go pale in fear but the illusion casted by Xia Tian.

Xia Tian had a satisfied smile on his face. He was enjoying the feeling of Xia Ying's perfect curves. Her assets were ample, enough to cover his both hands.

Xia Tian who was appreciating the buttocks of Xia Ying was interrupted by an idiot's voice.

"Why is this taking so much time?"

The idiot was Xia Chen.

They were in the spatial tunnel from a long time and haven't landed yet.

The space around them was moving with the speed of light, they have already passed through multiple realms.

It means they aren't stuck in space.

So why it is taking so much time?

His query was answered by Xia Tian.

"Oh, about that. I just altered the formation a bit, now we will land in a random location instead of going to the imperial palace."

"Why??" Xia Chen asked.

Why would he alter the formation?

Instead of why... How was he able to do it?

Did he do all this in just a few seconds?

Xia Chen had a blank look on his face, he thought the knowledge from his previous life would make him a monster in this small place.

Who can think, he will find an even bigger monster here?

"Is he also an immortal like me, who possessed a body in this lower realm?" Xia Chen thought.

His thoughts weren't wrong except for the part about Xia Tian being immortal.

On another place.

A black-haired boy was sitting in a wheelchair.

His eyes were focused on the small stone, it has ancient text written on it.

Fortunately, though Ye Wuhan was crippled, he devoted his remaining time to studying books in the library.

He can easily decipher the text.

He bit his finger and dropped a few drops of blood on the stone.

The stone was given by his dead grandfather who once ascended to the immortal realm from Ye Family.

His grandfather found this stone on one of the ancient ruins and gave it to his father at his birth.

His grandfather's instructions were clear, 'give this stone to little Wuhan after he turns 18.'

Just after this moment, his grandfather disappeared and never appeared again.

Everyone thought he is dead, including Ye Wuhan.

"It worked?!"

A look of ecstasy appeared on Ye Wuhan's face as the stone shined with brilliance, it started absorbing his blood.

"Aaaaa!!!!"

Shortly after, extreme pain assaulted his body.

Ye Wuhan alone has run to the forest near the Red Stone city to test it, or else everyone would have heard his painful cries.

The red stone city lies outside the boundaries of the Ye Family territory,

He along with his sister was traveling to the Holy Water palace.

His sister would be directly taken as an inner court disciple due to her talents, while he would have to pass through a test to become an outer court disciple.

Suddenly, a text showed up.

[Installing System...]

[Error: Host body too weak to inject dragon blood]

[Alert!!!]

[Forcefully injecting dragon blood in host veins. The host is advised to block his mouth with a wooden stick as not to scream like a sissy.]

Ye Wuhan's face darkened upon listening to the warning.

"Your father is siss-Ahhhhhhh..."

Instantly, an even stronger pain assaulted his body cutting off his earlier words.

Dragon blood injecting....

1℅ completed...

5℅ completed...

10℅ completed...

25℅ completed...

42℅ completed...

87℅ completed...

99℅ completed...

Suddenly a large white light flashed.

*Boom*

A large explosion ticked off in the area in which Ye Wuhan was sitting in his wheelchair.

He along with his loyal maid was caught in the explosion.

"Cough, cough... "

The dust was settled and three figures appeared out of it.

A deep one-meter crater was formed.

"Um?"

Xia Tian who was holding a coughing Xia Ying noticed something below his legs and frowned.

"Did I step on shit?" He thought.

Xia Tian's face can't help but turn ugly at this possibility.

He lifted his legs lightly and glanced down.

"Sigh... It was just a human," a sigh of relief escaped Xia Tian's mouth.

Ye Wuhan and his maid were already dead, with only bones remaining in this place.

Son of destiny died!?

Xia Chen and Xia Ying focused their strength on their legs and jumped out of the crater.

As for the dead, no one cares.

Only Xia Tian was left, his gaze narrowed at the ordinary-looking stone. Xia Ying and Xia Chen glanced at him in confusion, is there something special with that stone?

Xia Tian ignored their strange looks and focused his attention on the stone.

He knew what the stone was, he had seen this multiple times.

It is just, Xia Tian was earlier not able to use it.

Only the destined person can use the system.

Does it mean what he stepped right now was not shit but the son of destiny?

"Ah, Both are the same... " Xia Tian muttered, he bent forward lightly picked up the stone and jumped out of the crater.

Then, Xia Tian looked around, they were in the middle of the forest, but it wasn't much dense.

There were only some weak beasts in the true Qi-gathering realm.

It means the city should not be far from it.

Xia Chen was scanning the place with his soul sense for dangers, while Xia Ying was curiously looking around.

Nyx suddenly appeared beside Xia Tian, she was observing the stone in Xia Tian's hand.

"What will you do with this?" Nyx said.

While talking to Xia Tian her voice was not indifferent but gentle. Her voice can melt any man to his bones.

Xia Tian had to agree, if Nyx does not use her indifferent tone, her voice is even better than Shui Ningxue's.

He looked at her and replied.

"I will use it."

"You can use it??" Nyx tilted her head in a confused manner, her eyes were glowing with curiosity.

Seeing her like this, Xia Tian's eyes narrowed. He can't help but extend his hands and pinch her cheek, Nyx who saw his hands getting close to her face blinked her eyes.

"??"

Nyx didn't look particularly concerned about being treated like a kid. But she still wanted to know how is Xia Tian supposed to use this thing.

Systems are made by Destiny itself.

They are made out of the remnant souls of immortals who failed to ascend and reach the void realm. Many immortals try to ascend further but most of them fail during the tribulation.

Their souls are then shattered. It disappears and goes directly to destiny. Destiny uses their souls and creates these systems and gives them to those sons of destiny.

This is why Xia Tian and other void real cultivators have mutually decided to name these fools as sons of destiny.

One can say it is a second chance for those immortals. They have to help the son of destiny reach the peak of immortality.

If they can do so, their binds would be released and their soul will be released.

But the problem is that only the destined person can use it.

Xia Tian thought for a while. Can he use the stone? He should be... He did not just gain god powers but also a new slave.

By slave Xia Tian means destiny.

The stone was then kept by Xia Tian in his pocket, the question of Nyx can be answered later.

Xia moved toward the remains of Ye Wuhan, he extended his hand and touched his shattered bones. After a while, he nodded satisfied, and removed his hands. Xia Tian got the information that is needed for him.

"Did you find something?" Xia Chen asked, he was observing Xia Tian use some strange techniques on the bones of that dead human.

Xia Tian shook his head, then he again got out of the pit.

"You take Ying'er and get to the city. I have something to do here." Xia Tian lightly said, which earned a frown from Xia Chen.

Xia Chen understood this man definitely had found something, but as a great heavenly demon king what treasures did Xia Chen haven't already seen? He took Xia Ying and flew away in the direction of the city.

Neither Xia Chen nor Xia Ying was able to see a shadow of Nyx standing near Xia Tian. She was using a phantom technique to conceal herself from others. It means, when they saw Xia Tian talking with Nyx, he was talking with air in their eyes.

Xia Tian waited for a moment, Xia Chen and Xia Ying had already moved far into the sky that even their shadows were not visible.

Then, Xia Tian took out the stone from his pocket again.

"Let's see what you have..."

*crack*

The stone was directly crushed, rainbow-like essence flowed out of it and got absorbed in Xia Tian's body.

Nyx who saw this raised an eyebrow in surprise, it wasn't the first time she saw Xia Tian try this, but his all previous attempts resulted in failure, the essence was evaporated even before Xia Tian can absorb it.

She can only wait since Xia Tian was busy absorbing the essence from the stone.

Time passed, and Xia Tian sat there in a cross-legged position, he wasn't aware that Destiny had changed the contents of the stone. Xia Tian shouldn't be able to use it without unsealing his god powers, therefore, Destiny modified the contents and even enhanced it a bit.

"Wuhan..."

A feminine voice was heard near the crater...

Two silhouettes can be seen near it. Both had arrived a moment ago, but neither of them was able to see Xia Tian.

Nyx had already sensed their presence and hidden Xia Tian's body by the illusion.

Near the remains of Ye Wuhan, a woman in a sky-blue dress had crouched down.

She had an indiscernible expression on her face. An expression of disbelief flashed through her eyes as her eyelids shook violently.

"!!"

Soon after it, she calmed down.

It felt strange.

The changes in her body happened too fast.

All of a sudden a trembling woman became so quiet, that everything felt like an illusion.

"Suy-..." a figure beside her wanted to say something but he also abruptly halted his words.

The blue-dressed woman ignored him and gradually lifted her head.

A look of melancholy flashed passed her face.

Gradually, her lips lifted up and curved up into a faint smile. But even that smile was not able to hide the pain that she was feeling right now.

Her gaze was focused on the bones in the crater, there were some remains of the metallic wheelchair in the pit.

She extended her hands slowly and with her trembling hands she picked up the shattered skull of Ye Wuhan. For a moment, she stared at it absentmindedly after that she lightly leaned forward and picked up the remaining bones.

After all the bones were gathered in front of her, she started arranging them.

Soon, all the bones were assembled in the shape of Skelton.

The woman was Ye Suyin, the sister of Ye Wuhan.

Another figure behind her silently stood there. He was wearing male clothes, but his figure was not muscular.

His name was Lin Huan.

He along with Ye Wuhan and Ye Suyin was going to the Holy Water Palace.

Lin Huan cultivation is at the second stage of the sage realm.

Lin Huan was hired by General Ye to escort his children to the Holy Water Palace.

Lin Huan was a veteran cultivator and had an

bone age of 100 years old.

General Ye would never leave his daughter and son in hands of a strange cultivator, but Lin Huan had a lot of contacts with the Alchemy Association which helped him earned his goodwill.

Not to forget, grandmaster Li has a good opinion of Lin Huan. Grandmaster Li can concoct grade-five alchemy pills and was considered a talent inside the northern continent.

Perhaps in the end it was the feminine face of Lin Huan which convinced General Ye.

Whatever the reason was, Lin Huan's complexion was not looking good now. He had been hired to protect the life of both Ye family youngsters but under his watch, the only son of the Ye family died.

Ye Family was once a legend in the scared sky jade realm. Their roots go back millions of years back in the past even before the imperial Wei family came into the picture.

Their generals were the ones who stopped the calamity which happened one million years before.

Before the Wei Family, it was the Xuan family which ruled the northern and southern continents. Then, a calamity struck the sacred sky jade realm which changed its complete topography.

The surprising thing was that no rumored ancient family came for their help.

The records are muddled up so no one knows the complete information about the great calamity which happened one million years before.

One million years is a long time for a mortal cultivator, ten generations of overlord can be passed within this timespan.

Only an immortal can tell what truly happened.

The Xuan family was annihilated along with many prominent families.

Even now there are rumors that the beast which brought the calamity hasn't died but is confined to the Lost island...

The Lost island's whereabouts are unknown as it is hidden by a powerful formation. But the formation requires a large amount of spiritual energy to continue functioning.

There have been many reports when the cultivators saw the shadow of Lost Island, but most of them died a few days after it without a trace. It is forbidden to talk about the Lost island or the Mysterious Ice Palace where the Xuan Family's main members once lived...

After the calamity was over, the continent was divided into the southern and northern parts.

The Ye family whose influence was once greater than the Imperials are today reduced to the stage of extinction.

And now, under Lin Huan's watch, the last hope of the Ye family died.

Ye Suyin is already engaged, so she can not carry the bloodline forward.

And Ye Wuhan is now dead.

Is this the end of the Ye family?

"Sigh, maybe I will die even before the Ye family..." Lin Huan sighed, General Ye would kill him even before the Ye family falls...

"Should I go back to my family?" Lin Huan thought in his heart, but right after it, he shook his head denying the idea of it.

Going back to his family? Haha...

His family would kill him even before the Ye family.

Lin Huan's sight fell on the Ye family girl, he can't help but admire her. She clearly cared for her brother. In these few days, Lin Huan has learned about the special talent of Ye Suyin which she has hidden from everyone.

Her unique eyes can differentiate between truth and lies. This is why Ye Suyin hated almost everyone including Lin Huan... Because of Lies.

Only his brother was the one who never lied to her... But now he is dead.

Even then, Ye Suyin unlike other girls of her age hasn't broken into tears. Ye Suyin is silently grieving ... Yet her aura can be felt by Lin Huan.

She would do anything to find and kill the murderer of her brother.

All of a sudden, Lin Huan felt the warmth in the surroundings increasing continuously. He immediately looked forward and frowned.

"What are you doing girl?!" He shouted.

In front of Lin Huan, a golden large flame has been lit up, Ye Suyin was standing in front of it as the flame burned the skeletal remains on the ground.

"Sending him to peace..." Ye Suyin replied.

Lin Huan's frown deepened listening to her serene voice. Now he had no proof of Ye Wuhan's death.

What if that old general accuses him of killing his son?

...

A/N: I have rewritten the whole chapter. I was not comfortable with my new writing style. [I wrote the previous two chapters with it.]

Reverted back to my old writing style.

So, what will happen when the girl which can distinguish between truth and lies will face Xia Tian? Can she see though Xia Tian or Xia Tian will make her whole life a lie?
