Harem Overlord

​ "It's so good to see you after such a long time." Gaia said as she came back a little and looked up at Hela's smiling.

"It's just because of him." She replied as she looked at Kai and Gaia's expression hardened a little.

"You died too?" She asked as Hela nodded.

Gaia then let go of Hela as she slowly stepped back and stared at Kai's face.

"What happened and you better have a good explanation." Gaia suddenly threatened as Kai gave her a bitter smile.

"I don't know what happened." He replied as Gaia blinked in confusion.

"What do you mean that you don't know what happened?" She asked as Kai shook his head.

"It literally means that I don't know what happened. What I actually thought happened was just fake so I don't know what happened." He replied as Gaia kept staring at him as she thought that he would soon say it was a joke.

But when he didn't do it, she rose in the air before his face came right in front of her sight. She then stared at him for a good while minute before she sighed and landed down.

"I want to be mad at you but you yourself don't know anything. But still, I am not going with you again." Gaia replied as she turned towards Mariel, Levina, and Hela.

"You guys are going to stay with him right?" She asked as the three girls nodded with a resolute expression.

"What made you change your mind?" Mariel asked as Gaia gave her a small bitter smile.

"I realized that after being regarded as a special figure in the entire world, being demoted to a princess was good. I have parents and grandparents who love me and nobody pesters me about anything major. I don't have any responsibilities currently and neither do I have someone known over the entire universe as a harem overlord. I just love peace now." Gaia replied as Mariel slowly nodded.

"You guys can come to visit me anytime you want but I know that you will soon leave this realm since Kai will soon breakthrough in a few years or months even. But just know that I will not come with you. Peace is all I want for now." She replied as the three girls nodded.

"But all of you can stay with me for now and we can catch up. Just to be clear, you are not allowed to be with me since you don't know anything. Just go outside and stare at the stars or something." Gaia said as she flicked her hand towards Kai's direction before gesturing for the girls to follow.

All three of them looked at him with apologetic expressions as they followed Gaia and left him behind.

Kai just sighed as he decided to go back to the elven capital and tell Laofen that everything was all right.

He appeared on her balcony as he found her staring at the sky again. She quickly noticed him and gave him a small smile as she gestured for him to stand beside her.

"How did things go?" She asked as Kai smiled and told her the entire story.

Her face was full of disbelief as she learned about Lana and Gaia and Hela too.

"So all the girls in your harem are that powerful. I better treat them with respect or who knows what will happen." She said as Kai chuckled slightly.

"Don't worry, they are not like that. Sahara will however start treating you like her student if you give her too much respect so be careful about that unless you want to do some hard-core training. Anyways, how's everything going on for you." Kai asked as Laofen told him about her life.

"Just the usual. Going through reports, implementing better policies, making more laws, changing old ones, and all that. I wonder how sis managed to do this." She said as silence lunged over the place for some time.

"You remember how we first met?" Laofen asked after a few minutes as Kai smiled.

"I was here to heal Laoxiao and while I was doing that, you were peeking inside her room since you were anxious about her. But you screamed when you saw her coughing blood." Kai said as Laofen's cheeks reddened.

"I didn't know that the treatment would be like that. That much blood was dangerous for a kid like me." She replied as Kai just smiled.

"It was partially my fault since I didn't place a barrier around the room but your mother had requested me to not put up a barrier." Kai said as Laofen's eyes dropped down because of sadness.

Her mother had died just a week after crowning her sister as the queen. But there was no point in thinking about such things anymore.

"So you are going to collect some information by interrogating that girl?" Laofen asked as Kai nodded.

"This web of manipulation is well planned and literally has no cracks in it. This thing must have been planned for a long time and now that I can't manipulate memories, things are going to be tough but there aren't going to be any major problems for me. After all, I really do have too many powers for my own good." He replied as both of them settled down.

Laofen slowly started feeling sleepy after many months and rested her head on Kai's shoulder. After a few minutes, she fell asleep.

Kai smiled at this as he stood up and pickled up Laofen. He entered her room as he gently dropped her on the bed.

"So now I only have to check up on the land of air and fire before leaving this realm huh." Kai muttered as he took out the golden spiritual core from his pendant.

Though this core was helpful for people who had yet not entered the core realm or were just at the 1st stage of it, it was also helpful for Kai since this core combined with the yin qi from his girls would help him reach the divine core realm.

He glanced at Laofen's peaceful sleeping face before he silently vanished and left her alone.
