My CEO Harem Cultivation System

This might be the start of where the women that Li Yang involved himself with were starting to meet up with one another. Well, it already happened before—Taiga had sniffed out Bo Lifen and him doing it in the car, and she knew Ying Yue He… but now she was meeting Narissa too.

Perhaps it was better that he left her with Chunhua and Luo Ju Di… but he was sure that Taiga would want to tag along. He wanted her companionship too.

Still, the circumstances were strange.

Taiga gave him a look that made him feel a little guilty when there was nothing to feel bad about.

Li Yang cleared his throat. "She's a Mermaid whom I saved from one of her people over a year ago, and she's currently staying in the city as an idol. It's been quite awhile since we last met, so—"

"You decided to visit her all of a sudden?" Taiga asked.

Li Yang remembered that Narissa sent the message through the System—so Taiga was bound to think that he just decided to visit her.

It was hard to explain to Taiga that he could see a screen that told him what he needed to do in life.

What happened right after that?

Would she take it kindly that she didn't need to be seduced at all by him? 

Would she find it offensive that she was not in the list of his 'targets' to acquire? 

Once everything was said and done—Li Yang still had secrets and they weren't necessary bad to keep. Everyone had their right to keep their own matters private and it was one of those which he wished to keep to himself.

Could he tell Taiga the entire truth?

Li Yang might have needed to do it, but why should he talk about it in the first place? It was his burden to bear and nothing would exactly come out from sharing it with others—while Bao said he was free to share it, he was reluctant.

It was unnecessary.

"Bossman, if Taiga didn't see you on TV and came here to find you… would you have visited this friend of yours first?" Taiga crossed her arms. 

"...It's in the list of my to-do lists once I've returned," he said.

"Returned from where exactly, Bossman? Taiga hasn't heard the entire story either."

"Let's get to where Bai Minghua is first." 

Li Yang started to move with her following in line. Without the need to worry about human spectators, they were free to travel as they wished—leaping from building to building.

"You know how we visited the realm of spirits?" he said.

"Wait, did Bossman stay there all by himself?" Taiga blinked. "That dark spirit from that realm—she helped you take out those monster birds. But wasn't she supposed to be a bad guy?"

"No, not quite."

While he didn't think he could talk about everything, he could talk about this much. 

"Then where did you go? You disappeared in a blast of light." Taiga said as she kept her gaze on the buildings. "Taiga thought it was her fault."

Li Yang glanced at her and skidded to a stop. The two of them stood at the edge of one of the smaller towers of the city, and yet despite the precipitous height—he stared at her in bafflement.

"How could it be your fault? You did nothing wrong." 

"But why did you leave—Taiga wants that answer more than learning where you went. Unless you have souvenirs from where you came from?" Taiga said with a smile. She could be silly one minute, serious the next and sometimes both.

Li Yang thought about it. "Close your eyes." 

"Okay." Taiga did it easily.

He pulled out an item from inventory—right before Taiga's eyes widened and she stepped forward towards the egg. "What… where did this come from?"

The source of energy that came out from the Frostborne Razorbeak at the Frostborne Mountains was potent and powerful. It was unlike what Taiga had ever seen before from her experience in roaming numerous forests and temples.

"It came from a bird."

Taiga gave Li Yang a look and crossed her arms. "Taiga's not that stupid. Was that you trying to make a joke, Bossman?"

Li Yang shrugged but then offered her the egg and passed it into her arms. There was certainly a lot more where that came from. "It failed miserably. But I got that from my travels… I ended up visiting another world to get stronger."

"Oh." Taiga blinked and nodded dumbfoundedly. "Wait, what? Did you ascend into a higher realm, Bossman?"

"Possibly."

"The resources there must be pretty abundant… but how did you do that? You're much lower in cultivation than Taiga—while Taiga admits that your foundation has become more refined and the meridians are really flowing better than ever… Taiga is higher ranked in the realm of cultivation."

Li Yang didn't think that Taiga would start asking him about this merely because of an egg. He just wanted to see her smile a little, but things led to this. Would it be believable to say that he found an item?

"And nobody has ever ascended for a long time..." Taiga frowned. "The Heavens Tribulations are harder than ever, I don't think anyone has ascended in a thousand years—which kind of brought on a stagnation. So how'd you visit another world?"

"I'm guessing you didn't like the egg?"

"Taiga did! But you just made Taiga question everything." The Tigress Spirit coddled the egg to her chest. "Taiga might ask Mou Gu or a cultivation chef to whip her up a meal. This might be what Taiga needs to ascend."

There weren't many places where the idol Bai Minghua could take a break and be at ease from the rest of the world. Whether it was paparazzi trying to chase her down if she attempted to enjoy time outside or a killer Aquarian Tyrannical Merfolks that was out to bring her back into the depths—there was never a stop to the ever-busy life of the performing idol Mermaid.

However, she made the time of the day, or rather, night to contact Li Yang.

While she wasn't exactly happy with how he didn't message her when he obviously could... she was willing to give him a free-pass. And this meeting of theirs was to only catch up to whatever exactly happened to him—she still remembered that their last proper and actual conversation was concerning a gift box. 

But then stuff happened, she couldn't get ahold of him, news of his disappearance came and before she knew it, Narissa learned how to figure things out on her own.

This place that she visited was one of the few places where people like her and probably him could relax. It was one of the safe places for Mermaids, Cultivators and other Spirits disguised could visit as an exclusive bar.

Narissa discovered it through one of her friends and so she was here. But now she was somewhat regretting it.  There was some kind of pale-skinned man dancing and grinding with a furry lady in one of the dance floors.

The Mermaid scrunched up her nose and sipped her drink.

Where was he?

Narissa's meeting with Li Yang was delayed by an actual egg.
