The Psychopath's Harem

Chapter 156 Xia Chen Fell Into A Hole?

?

The two weeks trickled by like a lazy stream, but for Sword Fairy, it was a period of upheaval.

She had been unceremoniously ousted from her own palace, and the indignity of it all simmered within her.

Outside, the air was thick with the sound of clashing swords as Sword Fairy and Wang Wenshu dueled.

With razor-sharp focus, the two skilled fighters danced around each other, their swords singing through the air.

Wang Wenshu refused to admit defeat, but Sword Fairy's swordplay was simply too masterful.

She emerged victorious time and time again, leaving Wang Wenshu to nurse her wounded pride and challenge her once more in a desperate attempt to save face.

As Xia Tian slept, his dreams were filled with the comforting presence of his two daughters.

They lay by his side, breathing evenly and deeply as if they were in a trance. The peace of their presence was a balm to his soul, and he slept soundly knowing they were there with him.

*Knock, knock.*

Xia Tian's eyes shot open, his eyelashes fluttering as he sat up in bed with a start.

A frown creased his forehead as he muttered under his breath, "Who in the world is having worms in their hole to disturb me at this ungodly hour?"

He cast a suspicious glance towards the large door, his eyes narrowed.

The two girls sleeping beside him stirred, and their eyes opened at the same time.

After exchanging a quick glance, they both smiled faintly.

Although Xia Tian appeared angry, he was secretly amused. If he was truly angry, the person disturbing him would already be six feet under.

The girls couldn't help but shake their heads at their dramatic father.

"Go and open it," Xia Tian ordered Evelynn, his hand pointing towards the door.

The metal handle gleamed in the dim light of their bedroom, but Evelynn blinked with confusion, her mind struggling to understand. 'Why do I need to physically walk to open it?' she thought, her powers making the task seem effortless.

But Xia Tian's logic eluded her, and she pressed her lips together in protest.

With a swift motion, she caught his hand, using it as a pillow to go back to sleep while snuggling with him.

"Huh?"

Xia Tian's mind was thrown for a loop by the sudden defiance of his order.

He shifted his gaze to the other side of the bed, only to find his ever-loyal Nyx also pretending to be asleep.

A wry smile tugged at the corner of his lips, but he tried to hide it.

Their poor acting skills were endearing, and he couldn't bear to break their facade.

However, that didn't mean he was going to entertain them like this.

*Boom*

*Boom*

The sound echoed through the hallway, causing Cheng Ting to jump and turn to the blonde girl standing next to her. "Did you hear that noise?" she asked, her voice laced with fear.

Xia Ying looked at her with confusion, "What noise?" she asked, her mind still lost in thoughts of Xia Tian.

Cheng Ting's heart was racing, and she clutched onto Xia Ying's arm tightly. "There was a loud bang," she whispered, her eyes darting around the hallway, searching for the source of the noise.

Xia Ying's eyes widened as she finally heard the sound. "Oh, that noise," she said, her voice filled with relief. "I think it's just Xia Tian. He's probably trying to open the door."

The two girls were standing outside a door, waiting for Xia Tian to let them in. Xia Ying had managed to sneak away from her mother and make her way here alone, her heart beating with excitement at the prospect of seeing Xia Tian.

When she met Cheng Ting, who was lost and needed help, Xia Ying had pulled her along with her.

After all, in Xia Ying's eyes, Xia Tian was the best person in the world. If he couldn't help her, no one else could.

Cheng Ting looked at Xia Ying, who was blushing furiously due to her own thoughts, and shook her head in disbelief.

However, soon after, she started to bite her nails, feeling quite nervous. 'Would he really be able to help Brother Chen?' she wondered.

She was here to ask for Xia Tian's help, but somehow she felt that it was anything but a good idea.

Nevertheless, Xia Ying had already dragged her here, so there was very little she could do but wait.

As the door creaked open, two women stood there at the same time, both recognizable.

They were Nyx and Evelynn, but one thing was common in both of them; they looked beyond pissed, and their hair was a tangled mess, as if someone had badly beaten them.

In reality, Xia Tian was a follower of pacifist principles, so he hadn't beaten them at all.

He had only kicked both of them in their bums with such force that they directly crash-landed into the wall, making two deep dents.

Ideally, they should have been dead with this kind of force, but right now, other than feeling frustrated and annoyed, there was no other expression on their faces.

Cheng Ting couldn't help but feel a little intimidated by the sight of two angry women standing before her.

'Hey, why did you think the plan didn't work? Wasn't he supposed to be more lenient towards us?' Evelynn whispered urgently to Nyx, she used mental channel, making sure Xia Tian couldn't overhear their conversation.

Nyx's eyes twitched in annoyance. 'Only because of you, I got beaten. Just accept that your plan sucked from the very beginning,' she hissed back.

Nyx couldn't help but regret her decision to follow Evelynn's advice. This whole situation was a mess.

Meanwhile, Evelynn was on the verge of a mental breakdown.

'So there are no daughter privileges. Got it!' she muttered under her breath, feeling the weight of her own mistake.

"What are you staring at? If you need something, just ask," Evelynn snapped at Xia Ying and the other girl who had been staring at them, their expressions a mixture of curiosity and amusement.

Xia Ying clasped her hands together, a sly smirk on her lips. "Was the sex that good that even sister Evelynn was unwilling to leave?" she teased, causing Evelynn's lips to twitch, "Sorry to disturb you. We can come back later."

Xia Ying assumed that Evelynn and Nyx's disheveled appearance was due to being caught in the act, and she didn't want to risk getting on Xia Tian's bad side.

Evelynn would normally relish the opportunity to play with Xia Ying, but right now, she just couldn't deal with it. "Just tell me what you want," she said, her voice laced with frustration and impatience.

Cheng Ting forced a smile, but she couldn't shake the feeling that the conversation was going nowhere. "Senior, I was hoping to talk to Brother Tian," she said, flashing Xia Ying a pleading look.

Evelynn arched an eyebrow, but before she could speak, Xia Tian's voice boomed from behind. "What do you want to talk about?" he asked, his eyes lighting up with interest.

He loomed over Cheng Ting, his face so close she could feel his breath on her skin.

Her heart raced as Xia Tian appeared out of nowhere, seemingly materializing in front of her.

As if that wasn't enough, she couldn't help but peek down and stare at his manhood, which was surprisingly large. "Is it supposed to be that big?" she muttered to herself, but Xia Tian seemed to read her mind and nodded. "Don't compare me to other men. I am superior," he declared with a hint of arrogance.

Cheng Ting's face flushed with embarrassment as she took a step back, realizing he was completely naked. "Why are you naked?" she blurted out, no longer able to maintain her facade of politeness.

Xia Ying's gaze was frozen, transfixed by the sight of his chiseled, toned figure.

She couldn't help but inspect him from head to toe, her eyes lingering on the curves of his muscles.

Xia Tian's smile was forced, but his eyes sparkled with the thrill of the game. "Did you come here to ask this?" he asked, his voice laced with a hint of threat. 

It was yet another one of his manipulation tactics. He knew how people worked - they had a "being right" mentality, and he used it to his advantage.

If he wanted to confirm an employee's sales figures, he would never state the actual numbers. Instead, he would say something like, 'Hey David, I heard you sold two cars this month! Awesome bro, let's celebrate!'

David would inevitably correct him with a twitch of his face and say, 'It's seven cars, not two.'

Cheng Ting fell into the same trap.

She hastily added, "No! I came here to ask for your help."

Xia Tian's grin grew wider, savoring the moment, he asked, "My help? What kind of help do you need?" 

He didn't deny her outright, but instead, he asked her to state her request.

Cheng Ting took a deep breath, her eyes wide with fear. "It's about Brother Chen! He fell into a deep hole, and I can't find him. Please help me find him!"
