The Young Master in the Shadows

Chapter 340: Scion Harem

Chapter 340: Scion Harem

Tulip abruptly opened her eyes and looked around, the sky was bright and something smelled really fragrant.

“Ah…” she quickly let go. She was hugging that crazy self-identifying bastard emperor with her face resting on his chest. She was even drooling on it. How dare he make her drool all over him!

She wanted to back off, but she was quickly hit by the reality that they were sharing a sleeping bag that was hanging from the top of a tree like a cocoon. She had nowhere to run!

Last night, it took her a few hours to sleep, as she was really nervous about the existence of another guy near her…

 She tried to refuse to sleep with him at first. But confronted with the contract, she had to do it. Who knew that being his maid allowed him to spank her? 

That bastard didn’t keep his hand, using the excuse of educating a disobedient maid to take liberty with her!

Damn it, when she was young, she heard that her imperial grandfather used similar excuses in his palace, but she never thought of this when she signed the contract!

Anyway, in the end, she had to obey. But having never slept with a guy before she was very nervous. Her mother had warned her about it… Thankfully her imperial mother was not around.

In the end, nothing happened. That guy truly only let her warm his bed as he slept.

She couldn’t though… Not for a few hours. She had no idea when she dozed off. At that time she was thinking about his smell, it was really nice…. She quickly shook her head as she pushed her body away from him. What was she thinking?

“Stop making trouble…” the emperor said as he seemed to have woken up. He yawned and began to stretch his hands out of the bag.

“Get us down!” she ordered, trying not to look at him. So close, he looked really handsome.

“Is this how you ask your master? Do you need this emperor to spank your little butt again like last night?” he asked.

“Can your highness put us down… “ she asked sarcastically with an angry blush. 

“Yes!” he said, grabbing the rope that was tied to the side of a tree, then began to lower the bag until it was on the ground. He set this entire thing last night, and it really surprised her. He seemed to be more proficient than Rain in regard to survival techniques! Why was she comparing them?

Tulip quickly slipped away, then began to adjust her uniform, especially the very short skirt. Who sold those things? Don’t they have any shame?

The emperor ignored her as he slowly rolled the bag and put it in his storage space… This skill was really useful. She needed to ask her master to find her a skill book for one when she exited this place.

Tulip watched as he took a bottle of water and then drank from it before emptying it over his head. He looked like a model, was he doing this on purpose?

She wanted to ask him for some, but she couldn’t make herself do it.

Suddenly there was a sound of something growling…

Tulip blushed and looked away. It was her stomach. She was hungry… Damn it, this was humiliating!

“Now, Juicy… Do you know how to cook?” the emperor, as if he heard nothing, looked at her and asked after finishing washing his hands. 

“No…” she answered truthfully while glaring at him. Damn it… Did he have to keep calling her by that stupid name?

She tried to ask him to change it, but he refused, saying that first impressions were very important!

“Useless!” he scolded, shaking his head. “Let this emperor teach you!” he said, taking an entire grill from his storage space and then beginning to set it. After that, he took some meat and began to arrange them.

“Take this!” he said, throwing her another bottle of water and a new toothbrush, “ Wash up then come help!” he ordered.

Tulip looked at the things in her hand in surprise, she hesitated for a second then nodded and ran behind a tree as she wondered how many things he got in that storage space of his… She also couldn’t help noticing that the water bottle was from the Trihorn Republic… At last some clue about his identity. This hateful guy was hiding it behind his stupid facade, but she was not a fool. A strong guy like this would never be a nobody!

She now had an idea where to begin searching for him after exiting this place!

“Just wait! No one touches this princess’s butt without paying the price!” she swore as she touched her butt.

…

“Please spare me! I already told you everything!” the man said then went silent as his head rolled.

“What did he say?” Lin asked. She didn’t understand a word of what the man said.

“The same old thing… They belonged to the blood moon tribe and are here to meet their ancestors!” Lily said as she wiped the blood off her blade. The self-cleaning feature does not work here.

“Oh…” Lin nodded.

“Let’s go…That girl should be nearby…” Lily said as from the corner of her eye, she spotted two rabbits slowly approaching… They didn’t seem hostile, but Lily could feel their eyes on her as if they were pondering if she was prey or not. Once the rabbits finished with the dark-skinned men, it would probably be their turn!

Lin quickly arranged her backpack, then the two ventured forward according to Victor’s instruction. He had been communicating with them through the husband-wife connection.

Earlier, Victor connected with Lily and ordered her to camp and wait for Lin who was nearby and was getting guided by him. After they met, he told them to seek out a girl named Rea who was near them. According to him, the rabbits only attacked people who were weak and had good bloodlines, and they never attacked scions. Having Rea with them would guarantee their safety to some degree.

He also told them about the moon fruits and instructed them not to seek them out on purpose, telling them that he had a plan for this dungeon.

 Lily frowned as she looked at the fruit in her hand. She got her from that man, and now she needed to get rid of it.

“Lin… You eat this…” she said, nodding to Lin, who nodded back, then ate the fruit… That’s what those who watched them thought, the truth was that Victor used his disguise through her to exchange the fruit with an apple.

Lily watched the exchange and then nodded, she was really tempted to make herself also one of Victor's blood slaves, it would allow her to use his skill and exchange things with him through the storage space! Too bad she needed to wait until her family’s ritual was finished, the slave seal would disturb it.

“So basically, those men are bred to wait for the moon dungeon throughout 100 generations or so…” Lin said after finishing eating the apple and putting her face mask back on.

“Yes… They were meant to collect bloodlines and bring them here when this place opened. The one behind their wicked tribe is probably the same behind this place.” Lily said she had never heard about those guys in the other reality, so they would all probably die here.

“But are they telling the truth? If there are more than 500 of them here It would be a headache… Those guys are very hostile and not friendly to women. They view us as breeding material!” Lin sighed.

“Yes…” Lily began to say when they heard something. It was a sound from a nearby bush.

They stopped as the bush was pushed away and a pretty girl walked out. According to her look, she was definitely Rea, whom Victor told them about. 

Before Lily could say a thing, the bush was pushed again and a handsome young man appeared.

“Rea, wait for me…” he said, then paused and looked at Lily and Lin. He couldn’t help swallowing his saliva. Despite the mask on their faces, the two girls were definitely hot!

“Ah… Excuse me, pretty ladies… Would you happen to have some food?” he asked with a bright captivating smile.

…

Victor smiled as he watched Tulip slowly flip the steak on the grill with a serious look on her face. After burning three poor steaks, she seemed to have gotten the feel for it.

When she worked, all the arrogant air around her seemed to vanish as she concentrated on her task. This was proof that she was acting arrogant on purpose to fool others.

This girl is not that bad after all. It was her b*tch mother is ruining her!... Maybe he shouldn’t call his mother-in-law a B*tch…. Nah, she was a b*tch.

But taming Tulip was not easy, and it would take a while, and he didn’t have the time… Maybe he should use that method to scam her, killing two birds with one stone.

He looked around, searching for any rabbits or monsters, but there were none nearby… As he expected, the monsters on this floor only roamed around the fruits, and the rabbits seemed to not be interested in him.

He was not really 100% sure about what was happening, but if his theory was right, he would benefit a lot from this place…

He shook his head. First, he needed to make sure of something. Victor slowly activated his appraisal skill, looking at Tulip.

Oh, she has risen two levels since the last time he saw her. Not bad! What about her fate 

WTF! Victor almost gasped loudly.

“Was she going to marry those one by one or was she destined to make a male harem?” Victor unconsciously stepped back.

This girl was definitely a bitch in the making!

He shook his head. Can her destiny be changed? Maybe. In his past life he never heard of her marrying anyone, did she do it in secret, or was it yet to happen at that time?

He had no idea.

And there was that relationship with the Void lord. She needed to collect three void crystals for her master… could her master be the Void lord? This made sense!

He needed to inquire about this from Lily. He was about to ask her about them when the meeting was interrupted.

Now he had to ask himself a very important question… Did he still want to tame this bitch?

No, that was the wrong question! The real question was, would his fate class level up if he did get her and stop her from getting all the other guys?

“Hey!” Tulip suddenly yelled and threw the skewer in her hand, hitting something behind a bush.

“Ahhhhhhhhhh….” someone screamed. Victor quickly looked, fearing it was a rabbit, he didn’t want to end up like Alex and Zoe… It was not a rabbit… The rabbits were not that big!

“Come out slowly or die!” Tulip said coldly, taking a sword and aiming it at the bush and making a strange ball-shaped animal slowly walk out from behind the bush with his hands above his head. 

Victor was about to use the crossbow at him but paused. It was not an animal, but a haggard naked fat young man.

“Ahhh….” Tulip squealed and looked away. She would never be able to remove the memory of that thing from her mind for the rest of her life.

The word fat was not sufficient to describe this guy. He was a giant ball of fat… A very indecent ball of fat.

Victor sighed as he watched him approach… That guy appeared careless, but Victor could tell he was extra cautious as he positioned himself so that he would hide behind a nearby tree if someone attacked.

Although he appeared to be shaking in fear, making the fat flaps around his body wiggle disgustingly, his eyes were on the grill, and his mouth was drooling. 

He must have not eaten a thing for the last couple of days.

But that was not the most important thing. What really mattered was this guy's appraisal results, which left Victor sighing.

Damn it! This one too?
