Chapter 33 - More Schemes Mean More Drama
Mia had surprisingly broken through to the 3rd stage of heaven spirit realm. Last time Kai checked her cultivation, it was at the 10th stage of the sky spirit realm. Skipping a whole realm just because your memories came back, now that was unfair for Kai.
"You are probably thinking that is unfair that I got such a large boost in my cultivation whereas you have to cultivate hard so that you can increase your cultivation." Mia said in a sharp tone, but Kai neither nodded nor shook his head.
"But then, I had to go through those terrible experiences and you just popped out of nowhere, and you still had a higher cultivation. Now, that's unfair for me." She pouted after saying those words.
"Well, who says that being the harem overlord, I don't have the right to get jealous. As for what you said, thinking like that is my fault. And it's because, of me that all of you died. But I promise I will exact revenge on every single person who ever tried to harm us." Kai said in a deadly tone and his eyes were burning with hate.
He didn't believe in self-pity and self-degradation. What was done was done and you have to think about the future.
"All of us dead? Then, how am I alive?" Mia asked, her face full of confusion.
"I am the harem overlord." Kai said in a prideful tone. That's when it hit Mia, what had happened.
"The harem wish and harem curse, the power was still there. And you used it to resurrect me and the others." Mia said and look at him, asking for confirmation. He nodded and Mia hugged him.
"But why? You could have wished for thousands of new beauties, all of them madly love in with you, and you still chose us. Why?" She said in a soft voice and she looked up and stared into Kai's eyes.
He smiled at her kindly and hugged her tightly to his chest, as though she might vanish at any moment.
"It's because I love you. Without you, I am nothing. If the harem wish would have vanished, then I would have killed as many as possible before dying myself. My life is nothing without all of you and I mean it when I say I cannot live without you." He said in a lovely voice and Mia kissed him. Both of them share a passionate embrace for some time before finally breaking apart.
"Mia, can you tell me about the comet that fell through the sky?" Kai asked an unexpected question, as Mia raised her eyebrows at him.
"The comet was the first thing I saw when my eyes opened in the forest. According to everyone here, the comet was in the sky for 16 years." She said and looked at Kai who unexpectedly took a step back.
"I fell for 16 years, frigging 16 years!" Kai suddenly shouted.
"It was you!" Mia shouted back.
"Wait, you are 17 and when I landed on earth, you were about 16, a year before you gained consciousness. This only means one thing." He said grimly and Mia raised her eyebrows, her eyes full of curiosity.
"Your soul and everyone else's soul is tied to me. When I reached a little closer to you, you got your soul back. Before that, you only survived on instincts." He finally said and glanced at Mia.
"You mean that everyone else would be like me, soulless zombies walking around, butchering magical beasts?" She asked in a horrified voice.
"No, as soon as I appear on a planet, everyone on that planet will be born soulless and would get their soul back when I am a little closer to them." Kai said with grim certainty.
"However, I don't know about their age or anything like that." He added.
Mia calmly digests this news before Kai asked another unexpected question.
"What's the symbol of the zian family?"
"The white tiger." She replied and Kai narrowed his eyes.
"This means that the symbols of the rulers of other continents would be the other 4 beasts. The southern continents somehow managed to enter this continent." He said as he remembered those Pheonix pattern robe-wearing cultivators.
"But that's not possible. No one can travel the sea and visit another continent." If anyone else was saying this to Mia, she would have said that they might be mistaken. But with Kai, Mia knew that he was always right.
"This means that this is a scheme and personally, I hate schemes." Kai said and started massaging his forehead.
"Speaking of schemes, Junjun had been going out of the sect for about two months and he comes back with a grin on his face." Mia said after some thinking.
"Oh great, another scheme. More schemes mean more drama. After I am done with killing those bastards, we are settling down with my entire harem and I am going to live a scheme-free life." Kai declared and Mia gave him a small smile for it.
"Let's go and have a talk with Riang." Kai said and walked out, Mia on his heels.
They started making their way to the sect masters residence when Kai heard someone call his name.
"Kai, you are back!" It turned out that someone was Kiana.
"Come with us, we are going to meet Riang." He said before Kiana could ask him about where he and Mia were going.
He started walking once again and Mia and Kiana followed him, both imagining the kind of talk Kai would have with Riang.
'It must be about his core disciple promotion.' Kiana thought but she was far away from the real topic.
As for Mia, she was thinking something completely different.
'I hope that he doesn't blow this place to shreds like he did last time when he had a 'talk' with that sect master.' She prayed silently.
But whatever will happen after this, it would all depend on Kai.
