28 The First Maiden 'Xueyue'

"What is it, Xueyue?" Shen Tianyun asked when he saw Lin Xueyue keep silent. She is now lying in his embrace.

She shook her head, "I was a bit confused, I remembered everything now." She raised her head looking at his face. Her eyes flickered slightly.

"I am Dongfang Xueyue, but at the same time, I feel conflicted in my heart." She said further. Shen Tianyun calmly thinks about it, perhaps, because 'Lin Xueyue' soul was in a conscious state when the fusion process has occurred. Unlike Shen Tianyun's case, his souls fused completely when this world Shen Tianyun's soul was in an unconscious state. This is what he has guessed, he has to wait 2 more weeks before he could call Goddess Xi Yao again and asking her about this.

Shen Tianyun caresses her hair and smiled warmly at her, "Don't worry, you just need more times. When I woke up in this body, I also felt conflicted in my heart. It was as if this body is not mine and it was like I just stole this body from him. Later, when I found out that he and I are the same persons, more precisely, we are another half of each other. That's why I can accept it." He tries to make her feels at ease by telling her his experiences.

"Oh right, what happened after I died in that world?" Although the system had told him about Dongfang Xueyue and Shen Xiaohong's situations, it was only vaguely.

Lin Xueyue staring into his eyes, "After you died, every time I close my eyes, you will appear in my mind. So I want to sleep forever." Hearing this, Shen Tianyun could feel a strong determination and emotions from her voice. He felt very familiar with the woman in front of him, this is the real Dongfang Xueyue that he knows, she is a woman with a few words. Every time she speaks, she will go straight to the point without any unnecessary words. Just because she could see him whenever she closed her eyes that's why she wants to sleep forever. She was willing to give up her life just because of this!?.

Shen Tianyun became emotional, he immediately hugging her tightly, "Silly girl, why would you do that?" He almost chokes back the tears when saying this. Guilty, helpless, heartache all sorts of feeling welled up in his mind. This is the woman he loves the most and because of him, she died. No men in this world want to see their lovers died because of them. Fortunately, in his case, he got a second chance.

Lin Xueyue closed her eyes leaning onto his chest. There is a faint smile on her lips, she never regrets her actions in the past life. Because of those actions, she could see him again. Everything is worth it.

A moment later, Shen Tianyun already calmed himself down. He says, "I have something to tell you. Actually, I was brought here by Goddess of Love, Xi Yao. She said that she took pity on me and brought me here to this world. She gave a mission to me. I have to court 7 women in this world, and you are the first one." He thought that he should tell her about his mission beforehand. After all, she also comes from the old Earth where is people only have one partner. He wasn't sure if she could accept this.

Lin Xueyue smiled at him, saying, "When I died I heard her voice telling me about your situation in this world. Including your mission. I also know the name of the second girl. Her name is 'Xia Yunyao'." Shen Tianyun was surprised, so this Goddess Xi Yao also brought Dongfang Xueyue to this world and even told her about him.

"I guess, we should thank her." He was more puzzled than before, he couldn't figure out about Goddess Xi Yao's purpose for doing this. He didn't think that she helping him just because she took pity on him as she claimed.

Shaking off his thought, Shen Tianyun asks, "Xia Yunyao? Do you know where she is?"

Lin Xueyue shook her head, "I only know her name. Goddess Xi Yao said that if you managed to gain the girl's love. She will automatically know the next girl's name." She explained, the name of Xia Yunyao just appeared on her mind out of nowhere.

Shen Tianyun's brows knitted, "Isn't this mean that the girls will automatically know about my mission when I manage to gain their love? And maybe they all have met Goddess Xi Yao once?." He felt that he didn't understand this Goddess Xi Yao at all. It looks like she already planning everything for his convenience as if she was very favored him.

Lin Xueyue nodded in agreement, "I felt that she is very favored you. I think her action has surpassed the level of 'pity' already."

Shen Tianyun let out a long sighed, saying, "Let's not think about this anymore, at least I can feel that she didn't have any ill intention. One day we will know everything."

『 Congratulations! You have completed the maiden quest! 』 At this moment, The system voice rang in his mind. He already forgot about his mission.

『 You have earned 10 Constitution attributes and [Bone Strengthening Pill (S) ]! 』 Shen Tianyun was surprised about the pill before he could do anything further, The system has notified him again.

『 Congratulations to the host! You have completely captured the first maiden's heart, Miss Dongfang Xueyue! 』

『 The system will upgrade the lottery function as a reward and the system will give the [Frozen Moon Scripture (S)] to Miss Dongfang Xueyue. 』 A series of notification rang in his mind, a wisp of light shot out from his forehead and drilled into Lin Xueyue's forehead. She closed her eyes and fell into silence.

『 The lottery function has been upgraded. 』 Shen Tianyun looking at the lottery function, the blank category has disappeared only Items, Pills, Abilities, and Attributes left but it cost him 1,000 Fame Points per draw now. Calling out the status interface, he saw the '7 Maidens progress [1/7]' appeared below his cultivation base status. Suddenly, he felt incomparably comfort throughout his entire body. He became more refreshed and energetic than before, he realized that this situation will happen when his Constitution attributes have reached another rank.

He wants to check his little brother's length badly but this is not the right place to do so, looking at Lin Xueyue who still closed her eyes, he thinking about the [Frozen Moon Scripture (S)]. This should be a cultivation technique that similar to his [Supreme Celestial Scripture (S)], but why did the system giving this to her? Is it because she is one of the 7 maidens? Many questions appeared in his mind.

At this moment, Lin Xueyue slowly opening her eyes. Shen Tianyun hurried to ask, "How is it?"

"It is a cultivation technique and it says that this is a tailored made for me." Lin Xueyue answered, at first, she didn't know about this cultivation much but the wisp of light earlier come with information explaining all the basic knowledge of cultivation. Now, she could understand more or less and ready to cultivate.

Shen Tianyun was happy, "That's great! I'm still at 3 stages of Qi Gathering realm right now, I think it's not before long until you surpass me." He felt relief at the same time, if she could cultivate to the higher realm, she could protect herself from the dangers. He could feel at ease.

Lin Xueyue didn't say anything in response, she only smiled faintly. As if he thought of something, Shen Tianyun asks, "Xueyue, what should we do about your father… uh… I mean your this world's father. You should know about the situation, right?" He scratching his head, he didn't know what should he call Dongfang Mengrou and Lin Ming. They are her parents at the same time they also aren't her parents. This is quite troublesome.

As if she saw through him, she reached out her hand and grab on his hand, "He is not my father. Whoever tries to harm you, they are my enemy." She said nonchalantly but it contained a hint of killing intent. Shen Tianyun feels a chill running down to his spine, he knew her very well on how ruthless she was when it comes to her enemy. He could only pray for those unlucky souls that become her enemy.

"Dongfang Mengrou was forced to married Lin Ming, she decided to use this chance to get revenge. However, I think her chance of success is very slim." She said further.

"Ah…as expected. I knew it, Auntie Dongfang definitely did it for revenge." He sighed, he could imagine how much pain Dongfang Mengrou has to endure during these years.

Lin Xueyue looked into his eyes, she calmly says, "Why don't you make her become your woman? She should suit your taste right?"

Shen Tianyun sweats profusely, this girl knows him too well. Truthfully, when he saw Dongfang Mengrou for the first time. He quite likes her, whether it was her voluptuous body or her mature temperaments. She is the type that he likes the most.

Seeing his expression, Lin Xueyue said further, "I'm serious. I will help you get her. She is a pitiful woman." Thinking about Dongfang Mengrou, she let out a soft sighed.

"Eh?" Shen Tianyun was stunned, he thought that Lin Xueyue was jealous and said that sentence in a sarcastic tone. It turned out that she is serious about it.

"But she loves my father and…" He tries to explain but got interrupted by Lin Xueyue.

"No, this isn't a loves. It's an obsession. Trust me, I know her more than she knows herself."

Shen Tianyun rubbing his temples in headache, why did Lin Xueyue become a generous wife all of sudden. Did she got affected by this world society? He recalled that in his previous life, she always getting jealous whenever he playing with other women, and she even goes as far as destroying some woman's careers.

He shook his head, "Let's not talk about this. What should we do about Lin Ming? I bet that he must already investigate me for quite some time now." He tries to change the topic. If he has to fight with Lin Ming right now, he didn't have the ability to resist him. He may find one or two ways to avoiding him but he still powerless if he wants to fight back.

Lin Xueyue touching his face, her eyes filled with affection, "You have me." Just only one sentence from her, all of his worry vanished into thin air. Her words remind him that he is not alone in this new world anymore. A warm feeling welled up in his heart, it is a new experience for him. Shen Tianyun couldn't help but let out a gentle smile, he holding her hand tightly. They didn't say anything at this moment, only looking at each other and immersed themselves into love, affection, and a heartwarming atmosphere.

A short moment later, Shen Tianyun broke the silence, "Uh…right, Xueyue, I think I need to tell you this. Feiyan and I are now in a relationship." He was quite fearful in his heart. Since the ancient era, managing harem has always been the most difficult thing to do. He didn't really know how to make all the women in harem get along together in harmony.

Lin Xueyue still smiled faintly at him and calmly said, "Don't worry. Women in this world don't get jealous over this easily. They are more opened mind than us who coming from another Earth." Thinking about this carefully, Shen Tianyun immediately understood. Since polygamy is a normal thing in this world, human nature should also change slightly. Especially on women, if they couldn't get along together within the harem, they shouldn't accept to be in the harem at the first place. They know clearly that they have to share a man.

"Since I have you now. I will tell you about my plans and resources in my hand at this moment." Cast the previous topic aside, Shen Tianyun began to narrating his plans. He thought that it would be good to tell her, Dongfang Xueyue in the past life was expertise in management and scheming. Combine their knowledge together, he was so confident that no one could go against them easily, this is what he believed.

Lin Xueyue thinking for a bit, she says, "It's a good plan, Cai family is worth to allies with. I believed that Cai Ning could gain momentum in this city easily by the steamed bun recipe. We could use them as our shield upfront to fight with the Black Dragon gang and Zhou family while we secretly building our own. We couldn't underestimate this Zhou family, even though their third generation is so stupid but the current family head, Zhou Feilong is not simple at all. Otherwise, with Cai Ning's ability, she could easily suppress them."

Shen Tianyun nodded in agreement, Lin Xueyue says further, "We need to deal with both of them at the same time. Since the working-class laborer is the Black Dragon gang's main target, we could create better quality and lower price services to steal a customer from them. We only need to keep them busy for a period of time while we use Cai family to openly fight with Zhou family. With this, both of them will fell into trouble at the same time."

Shen Tianyun was quite amazed by her plan, to keep both of them busy at the same time is no doubt, the best choice. When they engaging their own fight, the Black Dragon gang will definitely request help from Zhou family meanwhile the latter also needs the Black Dragon gang to do deal with Cai family for them. Shen Tianyun could exploit this situation to growing his own business.

"How do we deal with them if the Black Dragon gang using their force to destroy our business in the outer city area?" He asked. This is probably the only problem and the hardest one to deal with.

Lin Xueyue smiled coldly, "Did you forget that I have a 'father' in this world. Why don't we borrow his knife for a bit?" Hearing her words, Shen Tianyun couldn't help but felt a coldness all over his body. The mighty secretary Lin could only be a tool in her hand.

Shen Tianyun sighed, saying "I suddenly feel pity for Lin Ming now." After that, they discuss these matters for a bit before heading back to the classroom.

"Right, you really don't want to eat that Feng Yunxi? She seems to be your taste as well, I guess?" Lin Xueyue's voice rang out behind him causing him almost stumble to the ground.

......

"Xueyue, you are here! I've been looking for you for a while." On the way back to the classroom, Zhou Feng appeared in the corridor. He said elegantly along with his usual hypocrite smile.

Lin Xueyue's expression didn't change, she looked at him, and calmly says, "What's the matter?"

Hearing her answer, Zhou Feng immediately became excited, "It's like this, I want to invite you to my birthday party this Saturday."

He paused for a moment and turned to look at Shen Tianyun before saying, "Of course, student Shen could come as well if you want." He still wearing a smile on his face as if he is very sincere.

Shen Tianyun was about to reject, Lin Xueyue interrupted him by saying, "Sure, we will go." With that, she immediately walking towards the classroom. Shen Tianyun was surprised a little, he nodded his head to Zhou Feng before followed Lin Xueyue leaving behind Zhou Feng who is now smiled coldly looking at his back.
