Chapter 111: Chaos At The Harem (ii)
After they argued inside the Love Cabin, they realized that Shen Yu had nearly been tempted by Luxian, making both of them even more upset.
Hidden nearby, Shen Yu suddenly understood what had happened and hurried into the bamboo forest.
"Stop! Stop! Stop!"
"I said stop!"
He rushed between the two women, desperately trying to stop the fight.
Yang Jin immediately pointed at Yun Han.
"Shen Yu, you came at the perfect time!"
"This woman said she’s going to have your child."
"Then she said you have to stay with her all day."
"What kind of request is that?"
"Who exactly does she think she is?"
"How dare she say something like that?"
Yun Han blinked blankly.
"I... I never said that..."
Yang Jin tilted her head.
"Oh?"
"You dare say it but don’t dare admit it?"
"What are you, some scheming little green tea?"
"Yang Jin..."
Shen Yu scratched his head awkwardly.
"Is it possible..."
"...that she was simply reading poetry and daydreaming?"
He pointed toward the poetry book still in Yun Han’s hands.
The page was clearly filled with ancient verses blessing fertility and marriage.
Yang Jin stared.
"So..."
"She wasn’t actually saying she was pregnant?"
"And she wasn’t really demanding you stay with her every day?"
Yun Han’s cheeks instantly turned crimson.
"N-No..."
"I wasn’t..."
Silence.
The atmosphere immediately became awkward.
Sometimes...
The fiercest conflicts began with nothing more than an absurd misunderstanding.
Now that everything had been explained—
Yang Jin looked at Yun Han’s blushing face and finally stamped her foot.
"Fine."
"Fine."
"I’m not that petty."
"If you really want to..."
"...I don’t mind."
"But let me make one thing clear."
"Most of Shen Yu’s time belongs to me."
Yun Han puffed up her cheeks.
"Y-You’re the unreasonable one."
"I only wanted to study poetry."
"I only look for him when I miss him."
"I’m not obsessed like you."
Yang Jin immediately glared.
"Who are you calling obsessed?"
"Hey!"
Before another argument could erupt—
"Stop."
"Stop."
"Enough."
Shen Yu hurriedly interrupted again.
"Alright."
"You two can arrange your own schedules."
"Whenever either of you appears in the real world..."
"I’ll spend time with you."
"But only when nobody else is around."
Yang Jin folded her arms proudly.
"Hmph."
"I know."
"Shen Yu."
"Tonight you’re accompanying me."
"And prepare the bathwater first."
With an overbearing expression, she shot Yun Han one last victorious glance before leaving the bamboo forest.
Yun Han’s face became even redder.
She quietly glanced at Shen Yu...
Then immediately shut the window.
"Phew..."
At last...
The chaotic situation had finally been resolved.
Pink light surrounded Shen Yu once more.
When he returned to his bedroom, he collapsed onto the bed.
He had barely breathed a sigh of relief—
Click.
Someone opened the front door.
Annoyed, Shen Yu got up and walked outside.
The moment he entered the living room—
Creak.
The door slowly opened.
Luxian carefully stepped inside carrying a cardboard box.
The moment she saw Shen Yu standing there—
She froze.
"Y-You’re home?"
"I thought you went to Floor -7."
Bang!
The cardboard box slipped from her hands.
Red candles.
A red tablecloth.
Several decorative items.
Even a bright-red three-piece lingerie set scattered across the floor.
Shen Yu looked at her with an amused smile.
"Can’t I be home?"
Luxian awkwardly scratched her head.
"Uh..."
"I..."
"I walked into the wrong house."
"Do you believe me?"
Without waiting for her to continue, Shen Yu calmly spoke first.
"I already know about the National Team."
"My talent is destined to make me a lone wolf."
"I’m not suitable for leadership."
"So don’t bother trying to persuade me."
Luxian’s mouth slowly fell open.
"H-How..."
"How did you know I was going to say all of that?"
"I guessed."
Shen Yu shrugged.
"Alright."
"You should head back."
"Even if I don’t become vice-captain..."
"I’m still part of Stateool City’s Defense Department."
"If anything happens..."
"I’ll still step forward."
"Goodbye."
He politely gestured toward the door.
Luxian pouted unhappily.
Holding the cardboard box, she slowly turned around.
Just as she reached the doorway—
"Wait."
Shen Yu’s voice stopped her.
Luxian’s eyes immediately lit up.
"Shen Yu..."
"Are you inviting me inside?"
"I knew it."
"You actually have feelings for me."
Shen Yu calmly pointed toward the floor.
"Leave that outfit."
"You can go."
"..."
"Damn."
Steam filled the bathroom.
The large bathtub brimmed with warm water.
Shen Yu comfortably leaned back inside it.
Resting against his chest—
Yang Jin was wearing the elegant red dress originally intended for Lucian.
She sat cross-legged in his embrace.
The two quietly enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere.
Yang Jin gently stroked Shen Yu’s cheek.
"Shen Yu..."
"I’ve been thinking."
"There’s still something I’ve never experienced."
"Hm?"
"What is it?"
"Don’t be surprised."
"Okay?"
Buzz.
Before Shen Yu could react—
Yun Han suddenly appeared inside the bathroom.
Dressed in her bright red wedding robe, her face was completely flushed.
"L-Lang Jun..."
"I..."
"I’m curious too..."
Shen Yu stared at both of them.
"The two of you..."
"I thought you didn’t get along?"
Yang Jin smiled.
"Not really."
"In some ways..."
"Sister Yun Han and I actually get along quite well."
The next morning—
Shen Yu slowly woke up.
He looked utterly exhausted.
He had practically slept through the entire day.
"...No choice."
"Way too tired."
Outside, the artificial daylight had already faded into night.
Blinking sleepily—
He activated Perfect Timeline once again.
Buzz.
Instantly—
He returned to the morning of that same day.
Cheerfully leaving the villa, he headed back toward Floor -7 to continue reading the historical dungeon files.
"As expected..."
"Perfect Timeline is unbelievably useful."
"One vacation day..."
"Basically becomes two."
While everyone else rested—
Shen Yu spent his extra time studying countless dungeon records.
Absorbing every bizarre experience he could find.
Several days later...
Inside Stateool City’s underground Defense Department—
Floor -9.
Luxian stared blankly at the surveillance monitor.
On the screen—
Shen Yu calmly walked into a women’s clothing store.
The saleswoman smiled.
"Hello, sir."
"Buying clothes for your girlfriend?"
Shen Yu simply nodded.
Under her enthusiastic recommendations—
He carefully browsed dresses...
Skirts...
Even women’s lingerie.
Something stranger soon happened.
Whenever the saleswoman introduced a particular outfit—
Shen Yu’s waist would subtly twitch.
Almost as though someone invisible had tugged on him.
Then—
He would smile...
Take that exact outfit...
And calmly walk into the fitting room.
Luxian’s jaw slowly dropped.
"...What?"
"He..."
"He actually brought women’s clothes..."
"And even entered the fitting room?"
"What on earth is happening?"
Beside Lucian stood another long-haired female officer.
She stared at the screen in astonishment.
"This guy..."
"Dating female ghosts really is different."
Luxian’s expression became increasingly complicated.
Ever since Shen Yu politely rejected her...
She simply couldn’t understand why.
She had ability.
Looks.
Status.
After surviving a dungeon together...
Wasn’t it normal for feelings to develop?
For several days, she had even questioned whether she simply wasn’t attractive enough.
But after looking in the mirror countless times...
She finally reached one conclusion.
"It isn’t my problem..."
"It’s Shen Yu’s problem."
So she began secretly observing his daily life.
Not because she enjoyed spying on him—
She was simply curious.
After all...
Why had Shen Yu insisted on keeping that red dress?
Was it meant for another female ghost?
Or...
Someone else entirely?
One minute passed.
Five minutes.
Ten minutes...
