My Xianxia Harem Life

”Not you, Eve. You’re not allowed yet. I still need my bed warmer,” Riley said.

”But why are you with this disciple, Leia, and not me? Isn’t that unfair, Young Master?” Eve replied, pouting cutely. She was truly a beautiful woman, and Riley almost said yes—almost.

”Not today.” Riley shook his head, and that was the end of it. Leia stayed the night, choosing a room at the Thousand Stars Summit.

The place boasted some of the best spiritual essence, so she wouldn’t lose out by staying here. Plus, Riley could always visit her quickly.

The night passed, and Riley spent time with Katherine and Veronica, indulging in a marathon of passion until they both passed out from exhaustion. It had become a nightly routine that Riley was already addicted to.

One week later, Ava visited the Thousand Stars Summit. She asked for Riley and found that not one, but four women were already vying for his attention.

It was fine when it was just Luna, but now with Katherine, Veronica, Eve, and Leia, Ava felt insecure under their gaze. They might even be more beautiful than she was, and she didn’t like it one bit.

”Riley, could you come with me to the music pavilion? I heard there’s a renowned master playing today,” Ava said when she was alone with him. At least the other women gave her that much respect.

”Maybe next time, Ava. I have something to do today,” Riley replied. His eyes lingered on Ava’s alluring figure, appreciating her beauty and curves.

If there hadn’t been a past between them, he would have had no hesitation in getting closer to her. But the history between them created a barrier, and that made things complicated.

”I see. Some other time then,” Ava said, leaving with a hint of sadness. If she’d known that all it would take for Riley to take her was to shed her clothes right then and there, throwing her naked body at him, she would have done it without hesitation.

Her innocence in matters of love and lust was proving to be a frustrating disadvantage.

Another week passed, and Ava continued to pursue him, but Riley kept dodging her advances.

”I think it’s time,” Riley said one day, feeling the urge to do something meaningful. He summoned all his girlfriends and made an announcement.

”I’m going back home to visit my family. Who wants to come?” Riley asked.

”Me!” all the women chimed in. Later that day, they boarded a flying ship owned by Eve.

Being rich and powerful certainly had its perks. It took them less than 30 minutes to arrive in Green Field City.

”Look! That’s a big flying boat!”

”Cultivators must have come from the Stone Mountain Sect!”

”Let’s go see!” The people in the city rushed toward the flying boat, eager to catch a glimpse.

They weren’t surprised when it landed at the Mason Clan’s residence.

Cultivating was a rare occurrence, especially in such a small city.

In fact, Riley was the only one in the entire Mason Clan who had ever cultivated. This wasn’t shocking, though, as the Mason family wasn’t a cultivator family to begin with.

”Riley!” A middle-aged couple emerged from the house, their faces lighting up with joy.

They were thrilled to see Riley again, and a heartwarming reunion unfolded that night.

Riley had been gone for ten years, so everyone had aged, even his parents.

Nevertheless, the entire clan gathered to welcome him, eager to show their admiration and gratitude.

”Riley is truly a dragon among men!”

”He’s already a Golden Core powerhouse, which means he could live for at least 500 years!”

”This ensures the longevity and prosperity of the Mason Clan for the next 500 years!” The people spoke in awe, showering Riley with praise.

Even the city lord arrived to witness the spectacle.

”What a pleasant surprise, fellow Daoist! I never expected someone from my humble city to produce a Golden Core expert. Please, take care of me. The wellbeing of Green Field City will rest on your shoulders from now on,” the city lord said.

As a Golden Core expert himself, he understood the immense difficulty of reaching this realm. It required luck, talent, opportunity, and most of all, a will of steel.

”You flatter me, fellow Daoist. I was merely fortunate—that’s all,” Riley replied modestly. He had grown up looking up to the city lord, admiring his fairness and wisdom in managing the city, and had always respected him for it.

”You’re too humble, fellow Daoist. I know that someone as young as you must have…” The city lord continued, his voice filled with admiration, while the festivities around them erupted into celebration.

Music played, people danced, and food and drink flowed freely as the Mason Clan and the townspeople came together to honor their most powerful son.

Riley’s return had made the entire city buzz with excitement, and everyone felt the pride of having someone so extraordinary among them.

The city lord glanced around at the lively celebration, but his thoughts were elsewhere.

He knew that such an opportunity to form a connection with someone as powerful as Riley couldn’t be squandered.

He had to tread carefully, but also make sure he secured a place at Riley’s side.

An hour later, the city lord’s patience began to wear thin. He called for his servant.

”Why is she still not here?” he asked in a harsh whisper, his frustration palpable. His eyes darted toward the entrance, hoping to see the person he was waiting for, but there was no sign of her.

”We’ve already told her, my lord,” the servant replied, his voice trembling with nervousness. ”But she… she’s stubborn and refuses to come out.”

The servant was sweating profusely, a cold sheen on his forehead. He knew how temperamental his lord could be, and the consequences of failing him would be severe.

”Have her mother convince her to come, or I’ll have them both banished from my clan!” The city lord’s voice was laced with fury, low enough to keep their conversation private, but intense enough to send a clear message.

He had no patience for disobedience, especially when it interfered with something as important as this.

He understood the importance of maintaining relationships with people of power, and Riley’s presence in the city was a golden opportunity he couldn’t let slip away.

He could already see the connection Riley had with the four women who accompanied him.

They were all beautiful, without a doubt, but what truly stunned the city lord was the palpable aura of power that surrounded three of them.

Their presence alone made it clear that they were not mere mortals—they were cultivators, their strength on a level that even he, a Golden Core expert, could barely fathom.

The spiritual Qi they radiated was unlike anything he had ever encountered, and he could feel the weight of their power even from a distance.

The city lord tried to scrutinize them more closely, curious to learn more about these extraordinary women.

But as his gaze lingered, an invisible force struck him sharply, as though an unseen hand had slapped him across the face.

He staggered slightly, shocked by the sudden force, but immediately understood the message.

This was no ordinary display of power—this was a warning.

His mind raced. How had Riley come to be surrounded by such powerful and beautiful women?

He couldn’t fathom it, but one thing was clear: Riley’s connections were far beyond what he had initially imagined.

It wasn’t just Riley’s own strength that made him a person of interest—it was the people he surrounded himself with.

The city lord was no fool. He understood the importance of forging a strong bond with someone like Riley.

Someone with that kind of power could change the fate of an entire city, and the city lord wasn’t about to let such an opportunity pass him by.

He needed to ensure that his relationship with Riley remained solid, to maintain favor and position while Riley was still in his city.

He couldn’t let this chance slip through his fingers—it was too important.

Looking back at the celebration, the city lord resolved to handle things delicately. There was more at stake now than just the pleasure of having Riley’s company.

This was about securing the future, both for himself and for Green Field City.

The party continued well into the night, laughter and music filling the air as the celebration showed no sign of slowing down.

Guests danced and mingled, indulging in food and drink, while the Mason Clan reveled in the pride of their most powerful son’s return.

However, as the clock struck closer to midnight, a sudden hush fell over the crowd.

The sound of hooves echoed through the night, growing louder until the source of the noise became clear: a lavish carriage, drawn by majestic horses, slowly approached the venue.

The people in the crowd held their breath, their curiosity piqued.

They had all heard the rumors and speculations about who was arriving, but none could have anticipated the beauty that would soon step out.

The carriage came to a smooth stop, and the door opened with an elegant creak. A figure emerged, stepping down with grace and poise that seemed to stop time itself.

Her beauty was striking—radiant, yet ethereal. She was a vision, her presence commanding attention from every eye in the vicinity.

The air around her seemed to shimmer with a kind of quiet power, and even the most talkative guests fell into stunned silence at the sight of her.

”She’s finally here!” The city lord, who had been anxiously waiting for her arrival, could hardly contain his excitement.
