Divine Harem: My Sect of Heavenly Beauties

Chapter 23: Lan Ming

Shen Yu dropped his hand and looked at the woman who commanded such authority. Although he was affected by her beauty, he had learned to control that side of him. She was clearly a powerhouse here, that much was clear from how she behaved and how much Bai Chen feared her.

Bai Chen pretended to be not affected by her aura and scoffed.

"And here I was thinking, who is it who dared to speak up to me. Turns out it's Miss Lan. I think you have misunderstood my intentions. I'm not causing any trouble but only saving this lady..."

"You don't need to say anything, Young Master Bai. It'll be better for both of us if you leave my restaurant."

The woman, Lan Ming, spoke before Bai Chen could complete his sentence. Her eyes looked directly at him, and they held no uncertainty. She was saying what she meant, and if Bai Chen continued to drag this matter, it would truly end in mutual destruction.

Bai Chen clicked his tongue and glared at Shen Yu. Then he looked at Lan Ming with raged-filled eyes and stormed outside the restaurant.

Lan Ming didn't even flinch from the glare and simply stood in her place elegantly. She then took measured steps towards Shen Yu and Ying Yue. Arriving near them, she bowed lightly and said.

"I apologize for the misconduct you have to see in our humble restaurant."

"You don't need to worry about it. It's just a bug flying around."

Shen Yu dismissed her words as he waved his hand. Bai Chen really didn't mean much to him. Why would he waste his one extra brain cell on someone so insignificant?

"That's good. Still, it was our fault that you had to experience such things, so as compensation, you can eat and drink all you want in our restaurant for a month."

Lan Ming smiled and offered.

"Then I will have to thank you for that. You're really generous, Miss Lan."

Shen Yu also smiled and thanked Lan Ming, not refusing her offer. After all, he liked the tea here, so wouldn't it be better if everything here was free for him? Not like he had a shortage of money.

"But I'll warn you two. Bai Chen is a short-tempered and very petty person. He will definitely look for revenge."

Lan Ming warned in a serious voice. She then looked at the sides and everyone who was watching the show dispersed. Now, it was only the trio at their table.

"You don't have to worry about him, Miss Lan. We can handle someone like him, still, it'll be better for us to know our opponents, so can you please explain things about him? You see, I'm new here and don't know many things."

Shen Yu requested. Information was important, and they lacked that. Even Ying Yue didn't know much because she had grown up in an organization and mainly focused on assassination targets. She didn't have knowledge about the world, so it was best they asked a knowledgeable person.

Lan Ming smiled as she gestured towards the table.

"It'll be my pleasure. I can atleast do this for the inconvenience you have suffered. Please take a seat, and I'll explain everything."

Shen Yu nodded and, along with Ying Yue, who was silently standing to the side as if she were a shadow of Shen Yu, sat down on their respective chairs. Shen Yu also ordered three Ciao Mi Tea, the most famous tea of Kaze Restaurant.

"Starting with an introduction, I am Lan Ming, the proprietor of this Restaurant. I'm also a member of the Wind Flower Sect."

Lan Ming introduced herself, sitting opposite Shen Yu. Her eyes scanned both of them with a strange curiosity.

She had actually seen the two of them when they were entering the restaurant and was interested in talking to them. Why? Because she could sense that Ying Yue was in the Early Stages of the Foundation Realm, and she was very young from the looks of it. If she had to guess, then Ying Yue was likely in her early twenties, which made a genius for achieving the Foundation Realm so early. Her aura was also perfectly stable, showing that she didn't take shortcuts to rise so high.

Even in their Wind Flower Sect, she would have been a Core Disciple with such talent. However, that didn't ignite Lan Ming's interest. After all, there were other geniuses, and they mostly belonged to Sects.

However, what made her interested in the duo was that Ying Yue was subservient to Shen Yu, clearly showing that Shen Yu was higher in the hierarchy. But Lan Ming couldn't see through him. It was as if he were a Mortal man, but that was clearly impossible with how a genius like Ying Yue was serving him.

People fear the unknown, but they are also the most curious about the Unknown.

Lan Ming had guessed that Shen Yu was probably a hidden powerhouse. After all, she could even see through the cultivation of the Sect Master of Wind Flower Sect, who was at the First-Rank Nascent Soul Realm.

Lan Ming smiled. The Wind Flower Sect needed allies, and having someone powerful like Shen Yu on their side, even if it was only as friends, was beneficial for them. She was serving as the restaurant owner for a purpose, and now that purpose was fulfilled.

Shen Yu nodded and also introduced upon hearing Lan Ming's introduction.

"My name is Shen Yu, Sect Master of Divine Harem Sect, and this is my disciple and wife, Ying Yue."

Ying Yue bowed slightly toward Lan Ming.

"Sect Master?"

Lan Ming was surprised and tried to think of the sect named Divine Harem but couldn't remember where it was. However, she wasn't very surprised as someone as powerful as Shen Yu was bound to be a part of a powerful sect and maybe even Sect Master.

"Yes, it's actually new, and I recently made it. For now, only us two are in the sect and we came to this town for registration of our Sect."

Shen Yu explained.
