Divine Harem: My Sect of Heavenly Beauties

Chapter 11: Li Xue

Ying Yue continued to climb the stairs to the Library entrance gate, despite feeling the strange but powerful gaze upon her. She guessed that it was some guardian Shen Yu had placed in the library. After all, Library was a treasure in itself which needed to be guarded.

She just hoped she would pass the test of this being. And fortunately, it looked like she did pass because nothing happened to her and she easily reached the entrance gate.

She sighed in relief and looked at the tall black Obsidian Gate of library. It was a split gate with a thick wooden line dividing the two splits of gate. She took a deep breath and opened the gate, instantly feeling a cool breeze passing through her.

She shuddered feeling the odd cold and looked around, finding nothing aside from the chilling eyes that still looked at her with indifferent look.

'Master did say that as long as I have the identity token, I'll be fine.'

Thinking of that, Ying Yue brought out the jade on which her name was written. It was nothing special but emitted an ancient mysterious aura. She gripped it tightly and entered the library.

As she stepped inside the library, she felt a invisible barrier passing through her body. She raised an eyebrow and understood everything. She held the identity jade tightly, as if afraid to lose it and looked at the library.

The library had Chandlers hanging on the high ceilings with many candles on them. However, they weren't lit as a the gaps from the walls let the sunlight in, illuminating the library.

The bright sunlight of the morning fell on the talk bookshelves that were arranged in a specific pattern. The books radiated an ancient divine aura which made Ying Yue tremble.

'Woah! I should have expected this. Still, what kind of place is this?'

"Come here!"

Ying Yue felt herself becoming relaxed upon hearing a strangly tranquil voice. She heard it from every direction but didn't hear it reverberating. Although she found it strange, she had a clue to who the voice belonged to, so she followed the direction she felt the voice was coming from.

She passed through many bookshelves, looking at the books lined up in them. Everyone single bookshelf contained hundreds of books and every single one of them was a Divine Rank Manual.

Finally, after she passed through one more bookshelf and went behind it, she found a large window on the wall. On it, a women so beautiful that couldn't be described in mere words was sitting.

Her long green hairs fluttered in the morning breeze, with the sunlight highlighting her beautiful face that held a strange tranquility. Just by looking at her, Ying Yue felt her emotions subduing and her mind relaxing.

She couldn't even feel fear looking at her. It was as if everything coming in contact with her loses the ability to evoke emotions.

That thought chilled her but because of being in the beautiful woman's presence, she didn't even feel fear or scared.

'Will I die peacefully if she killed me? Just how terrifying is she? As expected from a guardian Master chose for this treasure trove.'

Ying Yue smiled, because she knew the woman wouldn't harm her. First of all, she represented tranquility which could also mean non violence and second she was a wife of Shen Yu so the lady wouldn't kill her.

She was going to bow before the woman but then she heard a serene voice reaching her ears.

"You are Master's Wife, so you don't need to bow before me. I am but a insignificant servent of his."

Ying Yue titled her head slightly but did as the woman told. She cleared her throat and asked.

"May I ask who are you? Also, Master told me to take some manuals from here for my practice."

Finally, the woman turned her head to look at Ying Yue with her emerald green eyes. Her eyes held calmness of a deep ocean, also having the mysteriousness of the deep ocean. She smiled at Ying Yue and answered her question.

"You can call me Li Xue. I am the guardian of this Library which holds immense knowledge from Primordial Times to modern."

"I see. Junior pays her respect to senior."

Ying Yue didn't bow before Li Xue as she had told but still greeted her. She looked at Li Xue and asked.

"Senior, I'm guessing you know everything about this library so can you suggest me the best Cultivation Manuals and a suitable battle technique?"

"You don't have to be so formal with me. We both serve Master and that's our shared goal."

A smile appeared on Ying Yue's face hearing that as she nodded.

"Indeed, that's all we wish for. I want the best Cultivation Manual so I can be of some help for Master. With how useless I am, I can't protect Master. What if someone takes advantage of his kindness?"

"Master is oblivious to many things because of being the strongest existence. One of which is his strength, he had seen too many things that the things we consider as Top Tier would be mundane to him. So we need to be careful of that, he needs rest and I hope you can do your best for that since I can't."

Li Xue stepped on the floor without making any sounds and ruffled her scholar robes. She then walked forward with graceful steps and said, stopping before Ying Yue.

Ying Yue got confused and asked in return.

"But why can't you serve, Master, Sister Xue? Is it because of this guardian position?"

"In a way, yes. For Master, these books and knowledge are mundane and of no use. He doesn't think much of them but let me tell you, this Library holds the knowledge of everything. Whatever you wish, you can find here. Not to mention the many treasured Manuals and techniques."

Li Xue sighed with sadness clearly visible in her tone.

"These are all important and I have to guard them so no one touches Master's legacy. But the main reason is different. Unfortunately, I can't confront Master."
