A New Member Joins the Harem

Time passed quietly, and two months flew by in an instant. Over those long sixty days and nights, thanks to Jun Lin's efforts in the planting area, the crops he had planted began to sprout and thrive.

Ying Zheng paid great attention to these crops, often sending trusted aides to inspect their growth before having them report back in detail. Each time he heard that the crops were growing well, the anticipation in his heart grew stronger.

At this moment, in the Yin-Yang School reception area of Xianyang Palace, Jun Lin looked at Yan Fei as she brewed tea for him, his heart filled with emotion.

Thinking back to their first meeting, Yan Fei had deliberately approached him to determine whether Jun Lin was truly an immortal. Yet when they first came face-to-face, she had been so stunned by Jun Lin's succubus-like looks that she had frozen for a moment.

Then Jun Lin spoke: "Clouds think of her clothes, flowers think of her face; the spring breeze brushes the railing, rich with dew. Had I not seen her upon Jade Mountain's peak, I would have met her beneath the moon at the Jasper Terrace." The moment Yan Fei heard it, she was captivated by the beautiful poem.

Although poetry had already emerged during the Warring States period, there was far less of it than in later generations. Yan Fei had never heard such moving verse before, and she could not help becoming more curious about Jun Lin.

Because of that curiosity, Yan Fei had more contact with Jun Lin. And Jun Lin, naturally, was shamelessly bold before Yan Fei, whom he had liked in his previous life, constantly showering her with sweet words.

"Yan Fei, you are like a fairy maiden from the nine heavens, descending into the mortal world and making this dusty realm shine. Your eyes are like brilliant stars, illuminating every corner of my heart. Every frown and every smile of yours intoxicates me, as though all things in the world have lost their color, leaving only you as the sole brilliance in my eyes."

Jun Lin's blatant love words came one after another. "Your gentleness is like a spring breeze, softly brushing over my heart and filling me with endless warmth. I would give everything for you, if only to earn that city-toppling smile of yours."

Yan Fei's heart fell into turmoil upon hearing those shamelessly direct words. No matter how intelligent and calculating she was, she was still a young girl who had never experienced romance between a man and a woman. Calling her a blank sheet of paper would not have been an exaggeration.

Though she was the foremost extraordinary woman of the Yin-Yang School, she was only eighteen. Tell her to kill or set fires, and she could do it with ease—but when had she ever faced such an utterly shameless offensive?

At that moment, she blushed. The flush on her cheeks was like peach blossoms blooming in spring, delicate and radiant. She lowered her head slightly, her gaze flickering as she did not know how to respond to Jun Lin's passionate advance.

Seeing this, Jun Lin was overjoyed. He discovered that Yan Fei was actually so easy to flirt with. He had not even gone all out, yet she was already blushing.

He secretly felt pleased, as though he could see the dawn of victory. He decided to press his advantage, his gaze growing gentler and more fervent as he slowly approached Yan Fei and lightly took her hand. Her hand trembled slightly, but she did not pull away.

Jun Lin gazed deeply at Yan Fei, his voice low and firm. "Yan Fei, I know the road ahead is rough in these troubled times, but I am willing to walk it at your side. Hand in hand, we shall grow old together. No matter the wind and rain, I will stay by your side and never abandon you. I will shelter you from the storms and let you forever wear your most beautiful smile."

Hearing Jun Lin's sincere words, a warm current surged through Yan Fei's heart. She slowly raised her head, her eyes meeting his. There was shyness in her gaze, but also a trace of emotion. She had never imagined that someone would make such a heartfelt vow to her.

In this Warring States era filled with flames of war, people fought for power and survival, while love seemed like a luxury. Yet at this moment, Yan Fei felt warmth and reassurance unlike anything she had ever known. She gently bit her lip, seemingly struggling within herself.

At last, Yan Fei nodded faintly and said softly, "Your worries are my worries, and your joy is my joy. I... will remember what you have said." Though her voice was soft, to Jun Lin, it sounded like heavenly music.

Jun Lin was overjoyed when he heard that. He tightly held Yan Fei's hand, as though afraid that the foolish wife he had finally sweet-talked into his grasp might run away. And as they spent more time together, the feelings between Jun Lin and Yan Fei deepened without either of them realizing it.

At this point, Jun Lin could not help sighing. Compared to his previous life, when he had needed to save painstakingly and repay loans just to buy a home, calculate every expense before buying a car, and face all kinds of pressure just to get married—

Look at him now. Gentle and beautiful Yan Fei was by his side, while goals that had once seemed impossibly distant in his previous life had now been easily achieved. Moreover, he possessed even more: power, status, and a beauty at his side.

But human desire was like a boulder rolling down a mountain. Once it began, it could never stop. Having transmigrated here, Jun Lin would never be satisfied with this alone. He wanted more.

He longed to leave a bold and magnificent mark upon every world, to have his name remembered by history. Step by step, step by step, step by step, he would climb to the very top. He would become Jun Lin who ruled over all beneath heaven.

"This is for you." Jun Lin extended his hand and took an exquisite Soul Tool from his Storage Soul Tool. It was a Fish Transformation version Soul Tool that he had specially prepared for Yan Fei.

For this, he had even specifically asked the system to engrave a poem upon it: "A mystic maiden descends from heaven to the mortal realm, transforming into a fish to fulfill a fated bond. After countless twists and turns, she has no regrets, her heart devoted only to the one she loves."

When Yan Fei saw Jun Lin compare her to a goddess, her heart stirred, and tender feelings quietly spread within her. Her gaze remained fixed on the words engraved on Fish Transformation, as though she could see Jun Lin's sincerity within them. A different kind of emotion rippled through her heart.

In this Warring States era filled with war, women's status was low. They were often regarded as men's appendages, struggling to survive amid power struggles and the smoke of war.

In this world, if one were to speak of a woman of the highest status, aside from imperial and noble women, it would be the legendary Nine Heavens Goddess. She was endowed with mystery and reverence, holding tremendous prestige in people's hearts. How could Yan Fei possibly resist when Jun Lin compared her to the Nine Heavens Goddess?

When had Yan Fei ever seen such poetry? Her beautiful eyes gazed at Jun Lin in a daze, and a feeling rose in her heart: For him, even becoming enemies with the entire world would be worth it. Such a man was worthy of her giving him everything.

Yan Fei looked at Jun Lin just like that, her face flushed, her eyes hazy and blazing, filled with deep affection and longing.

Seeing this, how could Jun Lin fail to understand what Yan Fei meant? He slowly lowered his head and kissed her delicate, inviting lips. In that instant, time seemed to stop, everything around them blurred away, and only their warmth and breath intertwined.

Jun Lin slowly removed Yan Fei's clothing... And so, they began to "bare their hearts." Yan Fei was somewhat shy at first, but before long, through Jun Lin's efforts, their skin began to touch, their hands wandered across one another... feeling each other's presence... In the end, they became physically intimate... Finally, perhaps because Jun Lin had undergone Ice-Fire Body Tempering, little Jun Lin had grown increasingly formidable. Tears glistened at the corners of Yan Fei's eyes as she blissfully cried herself unconscious...

However, at that very moment, the system that Jun Lin had long shielded away silently completed a task without Jun Lin noticing at all.

"Ding! Congratulations, Host, for completing Yan Fei's only Wish List."

"Hand in hand, we shall grow old together. Congratulations, Host, you have received a mysterious gift pack..."
