What do you mean my cute disciples are Yanderes?

Chapter 893: Conflicting Emotions

(Lian Li POV)

Things went back to normal even with the new addition of that… Man.

He simply chose a spot on the beach to set up a towel and laid down.

What really irked me was the fact that I couldn't stop peeking at him… Somehow seeing that person in his swim trunks with the upper half of his body bare was… Very stimulating.

I could also see most of my sisters also doing the same thing, though they were trying their best to look busy with other things instead.

I mentally slapped myself and turned my attention back to Master who was currently busy building sandcastles with Cai Hong.

Hehe, Cai Hong is really cute as always, just look at how giggly she is with Master. I just want to squish those cute cheeks of hers~

Mmm… Where is Eris? We need to go with our plan to seduce Master, how troublesome…

Eh? Did I just… Hmm… That's weird…

Let's put that aside for now and look for Eris first.

I found the swordswoman at the far edge of the beach which was already weird considering what we were planning to do. What made it even weirder was the fact that she was literally beating herself with her own fists.

"Gawdamnit!! Wake the fuck up!!" She roared, punching herself in the cheek.

The blow was hard enough to send her sprawling on the sand and I quickly rushed to her side, stopping the next punch that was aimed at her other cheek.

"What are you doing?!" I cried out, wondering if she had gone crazy.

Eris stopped herself, taking a moment to catch her breath before sitting up.

"Dis bitch! Dis bitch had the guts to think it was troublesum' to get Master to notice 'er!!" She screeched.

I frowned, "I think that's still a little bit too extreme to be beating yourself up over… Anyway, I'm here to talk about that, what's the plan?"

"Nnn… Plan… Alright! Dis' is where I shine! First, sister Lian Li can go hide behind those bushes o'er dere'! Then aye'll go tell Master that ya ain't feeling too spry and when Master comes over, we both jump on Him!"

I made a face at her, "I don't know… Doesn't this seem a little bit overcomplicated?"

Eris tilted her head at me, "Mmm? Then what does sister Lian Li have in mind?"

I thought about it for a moment, "How about… We don't try to tempt Master? Let Master come to us this time?"

Mmhmm, there's no reason for us to chase after Master, right? We came to the beach to have fun after all so we can just play normally until Master calls for any of us. That's a better idea right?

Eris blinked a few times at me, "Is… Is sister Lian Li serious?"

"Yes? It's… Ermm… Not good of us to constantly be disturbing Master, right?"

"Forgive this one… But what if sister Manami or sister Diao Chan gets to Master first?"

"Eh? Then… I suppose it means they were luckier than we were. It doesn't really matter who goes first right?"

Hmm? Why is Eris looking at me weirdly like that?

Eris whispered something under her breath but I didn't manage to catch it.

Before I could ask her what she said, she shifted her gaze back to me and nodded, "Understood… Play…"

Ah, she means to go ahead and play with my other sisters first. That's a good idea. I really do want to go back and take a look at what that newcomer is doing right now, is he still sunbathing there?

I skipped away from Eris to return to where the others were. Lucky for me, he was still sunbathing at the exact same spot, giving me a very nice view of his half naked form.

Wait a minute… Why am I so fixated on him again?! This is so vexing!! Sure, he looks rather handsome and charming and delectable and sexy and just absolutely stunning… But that is no reason for me to be constantly thinking about him!

But Master is just as… Hmm… Actually I think the other guy looks better… Master doesn't have that really exotic look of having those wings, the horns or even that really nice aura that he has…

Before I knew it, the man was standing in front of me, showing me his utterly irresistible smile. Irresistible? Why am I even thinking about that? Actually, I've been feeling weird for quite a while now… What is wrong with me?

"Lian Li, am I right?" He asked before I could sort out my emotions.

"Y… Yes?!" I squeaked, feeling my cheeks grow hot.

"Could you walk with me for a bit?"

"Umm… Umm… Of course!"

His smile grew broader and he led the way towards the other end of the beach, the opposite of where Eris had been.

I could feel the jealous gaze of my sisters as they watched me walk with him, somehow that made me feel more uncomfortable than usual for some reason?

Eh? Why did I get that feeling of wanting to hit him but as soon as that feeling appears, it's immediately squashed?

Shaking my head, I continued to follow a step behind him, trying to understand the conflicting emotions inside me..

I noticed Master looking at me as I left but I wasn't in a state to care about that right now.

Once we were out of earshot from everybody else, he slowed down his steps and allowed me to join him by his side.

"So… You're a disciple of my dad, aren't you?"

I nodded quickly, not exactly trusting myself to speak at the moment.

"Haha, as expected of my dad to have picked the most beautiful girls as his own. I take it he has also slept with you?"

For some reason, that question made me really uncomfortable. Not because he was asking about my sex life but because I had to tell him that I was no longer a virgin.

"Oh, don't worry. In my eyes, the value of a woman does not diminish just because their first time was not done with me."

I tried my hardest not to look too relieved upon hearing his words.

Relieved? Why should I feel relieved? Why am I even telling this guy this? This… This really charming man who's making me feel really hot…

He stopped and turned to me, "Anyway, what is a beautiful girl like yourself doing? I heard that most of the time it was you chasing after my dad, not the other way around. Don't you girls feel frustrated that he never initiates any romantic gestures? It's like he doesn't even see any of you in a romantic light."

That's… That's true… Why is it always us that has to be the assertive one? Do we not mean anything to Master? Are we merely just decorations to Master?

He took a step closer to me, "Unlike me, I believe in taking one girl and giving her all my attention. Isn't it better to have all your attention fixated on one girl instead of dividing it?"

That… I don't…

"What do you say? How about you become my woman instead? I'm sure I will make you much more happier than dad could ever--"

"ENOUGH!!"

I leapt back just in time as a sword waved cut the space in between that man and myself.

Eris landed in front of me with her sword drawn and pointed at him, "I knew it! What 'ave ya done with my sisters ya damn trash?!"

E… Eh? Eris? Why are you suddenly attacking him?

Unexpectedly, he did not look surprised by the attack, only mildly annoyed.

"This is interesting… First time I've seen a mortal unaffected by me… How interesting indeed…"

What is going on?
