Harem Overlord

"Thank you." Kiana quickly wiped the remaining tears off her face as she stepped back and looked at Watanabe's face.

She gave Kiana a small genuine smile yet her eyes told that her emotions were still running around wild. What she needed was a distraction.

[ Kai, will you cultivate with me? ] She suddenly asked the former was taken back by surprise.

He was half expecting Watanabe to say that she and Kiana needed to spend some time together and that he should leave.

But he hadn't expected her to tell him that she wanted to cultivate with him.

[ Are you sure about that? ]

[ I need a distraction and pleasure sometimes is the best distraction. I would have been more distracted if Kiana would have participated in it but I can't ask her to do that. ]

[ Then I have a solution for that. But for now, you should go ahead and console Kiana for some more time. ]

Watanabe then nodded as the three of them moved towards the royal castle.

It hadn't changed much over time but one thing that stood out currently was the color of the white tiger on the top of the palace. It had purple eyes and golden lightning around its body while the palace had some remodeling done in the purple color.

Perhaps it was done because of Kai or perhaps it was because of something entirely different. But regardless of that, the trio moved inside. 

But instead of exploring the place, Kai lead them to a very specific pace.

"This is his resting place," Kai said as they stood in front of a chamber.

The doors were shut close and were plated in gold and various other jewels. Zian Asahi was written on the doors in bold letters as Kai teleported them inside.

While Riang had been sleeping, Kai had gone ahead and had started exploring the palace. Even though he already knew that Asahi would be long dead, he just wanted to see it with his own eyes.

And because of that, he had encountered this place. He had learned that after Asahi had died, he had somehow managed to leave a fragment of his soul behind and there weren't many ways in which one could do it.

The basic requirement to leave a part of a person's soul behind was that he or should at least be at the spiritual core realm.

But Asahi couldn't have achieved that so that option was out of the way. The second option was through the use of a treasure but such a treasure couldn't exist on the mortal world so this option was also wrong.

The last option would depend on what kind of reaper came to take Asahi's soul. If the reaper had been kind, Asahi might have asked the reaper to leave a piece of his soul behind on specific terms.

And that was to say goodbye to his mother and daughter.

That was the only option that made sense.

This then meant that Kiana and Watanabe might be able to say goodbye to their father's son respectively.

"Then shall we enter it?" Kai asked as he saw the two women staring at the door. 

They then slowly nodded as Kai took their hands and teleported inside.

The place had a golden and white coffin lying in the center. A golden white cloth was draped on the lid of the coffin. The rest of the place was made from white marble.

But occasional mixes of purple, golden, and black could be seen. Perhaps Asahi had designed this place himself shortly before he realized that he was about to die.

Cultivators were able to predict when they were about to die and everyone utilized this time in different ways. Asahi had also done the same.

"Kiana, Watanabe, close your eyes." Kai suddenly said as the two women looked confused. But Watanabe had a feeling that something major was about to happen so she closed her eyes and Kiana followed her.

Kai then walked towards the coffin and took the golden drape off. He could see a bright coffin underneath it but in the middle of the coffin was a blue crystal.

'Guess my theory was correct.' Kai thought with a small smile as he took out the blue crystal.

It was a soul crystal that wasn't easy to get a hold of. But every reaper had tons of these and if they thought that a person was worthy of leaving a piece of their soul behind for certain reasons, they will use the soul crystal.

It would store a piece of the person's soul until a specific condition was met. This meant that the crystal and the piece of soul inside it wouldn't vanish unless someone summoned it up.

He then walked in front of the two women and let the crystal hover in the air. It suddenly started glowing as it expanded in the form of a person.

"Open your eyes." Asahi said in a gentle tone as Kiana and Watanabe's eyes flew open.

Their jaws dropped as they looked at the person standing in front of them. They then looked at each other before looking at Kai who was smiling at them.

"He doesn't have much time. So make sure you say everything you want." Kai added and was about to teleport when Asahi turned in his direction.

"That you for taking good care of them." He said in the same gentle tone as Kai nodded.

'But I was neglecting them for so much time.' Kai silently thought as he teleported out of the room and let the four people enjoy their time alone.

He was sure that this time, Kiana and Watanabe both would cry a little. Or perhaps they would come out sooner since Asahi was a person who knew how to change a person's mood.

Kai then started walking around as he roamed through the halls of the palace. He once encountered a person who had the aura of the white tiger as Kai smiled.

The spirit was still there. That made him remember about the other continents.

So while Watanabe and Kiana were talking with Asahi, Kai decided to go and check how other continents were doing.
