Villain : I reincarnated as a Prince! Shouldn't I have a Harem? - Chapter 22: Sister, Please don’t abandon me!

Chapter 22: Sister, Please don’t abandon me!

Ashen gazed at him through his nose, looking down at him, he muttered in a cold tone: “Become my Subordinate! Follow me as your master!! Swear loyalty to me!!!”

“WHAT??” Mo Chen’s mouth gaped open wide as he shouted in disbelief and anger.

“Are you deaf? Want me to repeat it for you?” Ashen asked with a sinister smile playing upon his lips.

Mo Chen, who came to his senses, fumed with anger, shouting at the top of his lungs, he said: “Y-You want me to accept you as my master? How dare, you, a commoner, ask for such a thing?”

He belonged to a prominent and powerful family, how could he accept being under someone lower than him in status? Even if Ashen was stronger than him, was he stronger than his family?

Without any backer to support him, Mo Chen would never accept such a thing.

Mo Chen sneered: “Just because you are stronger than me, Do you think you can make me your subordinate? It seems you don’t know how the world works. Wait till I inform my family about you, let’s see how you will deal with cultivators stronger than you”.

His family had multiple cultivators who were stronger than Ashen, anyone could make him know his place. How dare this lowlife ask him to become his subordinate?

However, just as he finished his sentence, Ashen began laughing loudly before asking him with a smile: “Hahaha… Who said I was a commoner? Feast your dog eyes on this and tell me if I deserve to become your master or not?”

Ashen took out the imperial token, lifting it in his hand for Mo Chen to see. Every member of the royal family had one, with one side of the token, having the royal emblem carved on it while the other side had the emblem representing the owner.

Ashen obviously had one assigned to him.

As soon as Mo Chen’s eyes fell on the imperial token, his eyes widened in shock and disbelief. He obviously recognized the token as he asked: “W-Who are you?”

Ashen, however, instead of answering him, threw his token towards Mo Chen for him to catch.

Mo Chen caught the token with both of his hands, turning it to see the emblem representing the ninth Prince of the Empire.

His eyes widened as he knelt down on the ground in a hurry: “Mo Chen greets His Highness, the Ninth Prince”

He paid his respects without wasting a second. When Ashen displayed this token, Mo Chen had doubts whether it was fake, however, upon touching it, he was sure that it was real.

The material it was made from, couldn’t be forged anywhere other than the royal smithy. The emblem was also fully authentic.

Even the description of the Ninth Prince’s appearance matched with Ashen’s, heck, even the names were the same.

Ashen wore an amused smile on his face, raising his eyebrows, he asked: “Oh, you don’t doubt my identity?”

“I don’t dare! I don’t dare! No one other than the Ninth Prince himself can have this royal token” Mo Chen shook his head, answering in a revered tone.

Ashen, maintaining an amused smile, asked: “So? Now do you think I deserve to have you as my subordinate?”

Mo Chen, without wasting a second, answered in a loud voice: “Of course, My Prince”

He raised three fingers of his right hand, facing the sky as he announced: “I, Mo Chen, swear my eternal loyalty to you. I shall not have another master other than you, my Prince”

Ashen nodded in satisfaction as he ordered with a smile: “Alright, now stand up. I have instructions for you!”

“Yes, My lord”

Mo Chen stood up, standing close to Ashen with a bowed head, paying attention to Ashen’s words.

“I have heard that you have animosity with Han Yujin. Tell me the reason for it in detail!”

After looking at the notification of Mo Chen being a villain, Ashen deduced that Mo Chen must have some conflict with Yujin.

Mo Chen nodded before recounting the incident, leading to their animosity.

Ashen raised his eyebrows in surprise, asking: “Oh, you like Bi Veli?”

Mo Chen had a sight blush appear on his face as he nodded: “Y-Yes, my lord, however, if you like her, I will forget about her”

“No No, no need for that” Ashen shook his head in rejection. “Just follow my orders”

Mo Chen revealed a relieved smile as he nodded.

“Come closer, I don’t want anyone to hear this plan” Ashen instructed before whispering his plan into Mo Chen’s ears.

Mo Chen had multiple questions which he asked, however, Ashen convinced him with his answers.

Ashen got ready to leave before stating his last instructions: “Let me know when you execute the first part of the plan and also, don’t reveal my identity or our relation to anyone. Let them think that we are enemies.”

Mo Chen nodded, gazing at the back of leaving Ashen.

Two days later, inside Ashen’s room,

In these two days, multiple things happened, Han Yujin had taken all of the gold he could acquire. He took loan from the sect, exchanged merit points for gold, and even asked the Bi family for help.

No one knew why he was collecting this much gold, however, before, anyone could know the reason, Yujin went into closed cultivation for half a month.

Most people speculated that he needed gold to buy some precious herbs to advance to the next realm.

Ashen didn’t have the time to worry about Han Yujin, having another scheme in his mind as he stared at the letter with a clever smile.

This letter was from Mo Chen that stated:

[Greetings My Lord,

As per your instructions, we are ready to commence your plan. Bi Shiyue has left the sect for another city on a mission. I will have my underlings stationed in the outer layer of Spirit Beasts Thicket.

I have commissioned a female disciple to act according to your instructions. We will have the first part of your plan executed by today.]

Meanwhile, Bi Veli was sitting at her family restaurant, eating delicious food.

Two female Inner disciples came and sat on the adjacent table as they began to discuss in a low voice, but, loud enough for Veli to hear.

“Are you really telling the truth?”

“Do you think I will lie about such a thing”

Veli’s ears twitched as their voices entered her ears, She became interested in their conversation, paying attention to them while continuing to eat her food.

“Did you really see three Origin aurora flowers in the outer layer of the spirit beast thicket?”

“Yes, However, I couldn’t take it as two Crimson Wolf Spirit Beasts were guarding it.” The female disciple sighed before offering. “Therefore, I need your help and we can split the flowers in half”

Veli, who was listening to their conversation couldn’t help but widen her eyes as she murmured: “Origin aurora flowers?”

These flowers were rare in the area and were helpful for Nascent soul cultivators to form their foundation to advance to the origin realm. Even the Bi family only had three of these flowers in their treasury.

This flower would be helpful to Bi Shiyue who was at Nascent soul realm and Veli wanted to gift it to her.

The two disciples continued to converse as Veli approached them before asking: “Excuse me, I heard that there are three flowers, can you let me have one? I will also help you to fight those beasts.”

The disciples turned to face her, their eyes widening as they recognized her. “Bi Veli?”

They stood up from their chair, asking in surprise: “You want to join us? Doesn’t your family already have these flowers?”

Veli nodded: “Yes, however, those flowers belong to my uncle’s children. He wouldn’t let me have them.” Veli made an upset expression as she finished her statement.

The female disciples wore a sympathetic expression as they smiled at her, nodding: “Alright, you can join us. We also didn’t know how to split the last flower”

Veli jumped in excitement, thanking them with a cheerful expression: “Thank You, Sisters”

Saying that, they left for the Spirit Beasts Thicket, On the way they introduced themselves to Veli as they discussed their plan.

After they had entered deep into the Outer layer, Veli decided to ask politely: “Sisters, How far is the cave where the flowers are located?”

One of the female disciples smiled at her before answering in a calm tone: “It is just ahead Sister Veli, Have patience”

And just as she said this, Multiple cultivators, wearing black clothes that covered their faces, appeared before surrounding them.

“What is happening? Who are these people?” Veli asked the female disciples as she hid behind them.

The female disciples covered her, assuring her: “Don’t worry sister Veli, We will protect you”

Hearing this statement, one of the cultivators in black, laughed as he asked: “You will Protect her? Then, who will protect you from us?”

Saying that the cultivators in black released their auras, revealing their cultivation.

“Nascent Soul realm?” The female disciples blurted out in disbelief.

There were seven nascent soul and three body transformation realm cultivators among the black cultivators.

The female disciples had despair cover their faces as they understood their situation. This wasn’t a fight they could win.

Noticing their despaired expressions, A nascent soul cultivator stepped forward, offering: “Let me tell you, our goal is Bi Veli, hence, we will let you two leave unscathed if you cooperate, otherwise, we wouldn’t mind having some fun with you two, hehe”

The two female disciples looked at each other, considering their options. Veli tightened her grip on the female disciple’s hand as she muttered: “Sister, Please don’t abandon me”

The female disciple looked at her, apologizing: “Sorry Sister Veli, however, this isn’t a fight we can win. We need to make an intelligent decision and at least save ourselves. We have our family depending on us.”

Hearing each word made Veli shed tears before she felt a palm striking the back of her neck and her eyes rolled backward as she fell unconscious.
