175: Chapter 175 It's not the scheming and intrigue of a harem that's frightening, it's a united harem.
Qin Yushang ran into the room, leaving everyone else looking at each other in bewilderment. Su Muyan suddenly stood up and said to Qin Yun,
"Why did you have to say everything? Didn't you think about Xiao Shang's feelings?"
When Shen Yingxue was taken down earlier, she already found it somewhat hard to accept. This time, if only Su Muyan had been taken down, Su Muyan could have still managed to navigate the situation. After all, her aversion to men was common knowledge among the Junior Sisters.
And the fact that she had come to like a man again, that Qin Yun had changed her perspective, she believed Xiao Shang could probably barely accept that. But she never expected Qin Yun to cut the Gordian knot so directly and lay everything out.
Who could accept that? Especially given Xiao Shang's personality. Clearly, she was the one who invited the few of them to gather, yet in the end, they were all taken down by Qin Yun, this unfaithful playboy. Right now, her heart must be filled with both sadness and self-blame.
Qin Yun didn't understand the female heart. He then glanced at the others. "Um, do you all think what I just did was too much?"
Silence. Dead silence. Only the sound of the women's breathing. No one answered Qin Yun's question.
Jiang Shiyu was the first to break the silence. "Brother Yun, do you want to hear the truth, or a lie?"
"Of course the truth."
"If it's the truth, Brother Yun, well... it's only because my sisters here are kind-hearted, and each one likes you. If it were someone else, the daily life at home could be filmed into three seasons of 'Empresses in the Palace'."
Qin Yun: ...
"Am I really that terrible?"
"Mhm, mhm, mhm!"
This time, the women presented a united front, standing together as one, all frantically nodding their heads. Yang Ruobing spoke first.
"Judging by the plotlines in Japanese anime, I have no doubt that President Qin might meet the same end as Makoto."
Ye Qingge agreed, "Not 'might', definitely."
Yun Yan sighed softly. "This was indeed too sudden. Not to mention Xiao Shang, even we find it a bit hard to accept!"
The four led by Su Muyan also nodded, especially Meng Ruxin. "I wonder who it was back then who told us to keep it a secret from Xiao Shang. We hid it so well, and then you just went and self-destructed like a truck. You took away my last little bit of that thrill of transgression. It's not exciting at all anymore."
"Meng Ruxin, what kind of outrageous words are you saying!"
Su Muyan immediately grabbed her ear, making her yelp in pain. "Youxue, Yingxue, come save me! It's a Jianghu emergency!"
Leng Youxue cleared her throat, ignoring Meng Ruxin's plea for help, and instead looked at Qin Yun. "Mr. Qin, I understand my Junior Sister. She's naive, kind, lively. She won't get angry over this matter. She just doesn't want to accept reality."
Shen Yingxue said, "Yes, as long as we apologize properly, Xiao Shang should forgive us... probably."
Qin Yun watched as the women spoke one after another, sighed lightly, and then turned his gaze to Zhu Sha, who hadn't expressed an opinion.
"Zhu Sha, do you have anything to say? It's fine, speak freely."
"...Boss, I don't have much to say. I just want to know, how many more will there be in the future, Boss?"
These words made all the women look at Qin Yun, causing him to cough awkwardly. How many he would take depended on the number of protagonists of destiny. If a protagonist of destiny with no Female Protagonist came along, he probably wouldn't take any.
Alas, for protagonists of destiny in urban novels, what's the point if there's no Female Protagonist to look at!
Seeing that Qin Yun didn't directly answer the question, Su Muyan pinched the back of his waist. It must be said, Su Muyan had the makings of a leader. Clearly the last one to join, yet as soon as she came in, she subtly started acting like the boss.
"We won't care how many you take in the future, but if you don't treat us sisters well, we won't let you off! Everyone, let's create a chat group! We can discuss things in the group. If anyone is bullied by this guy, we'll unite and deal with him together! We can't let him do whatever he wants anymore."
"Agreed!"
Hearing this, the women all took out their phones and created a group chat right in front of Qin Yun. Qin Yun's mouth twitched. What could he even say!
No wonder ancient emperors didn't interfere when their harems were turbulent. It turns out that once a harem starts causing trouble, the biggest beneficiary is actually the emperor himself.
But if the harem unites, then the first one to suffer is the emperor. Moreover, these days of fun and travel have allowed these people, who originally weren't very familiar with each other, to build a good network of relationships.
Although their harmony was a good thing, for Qin Yun, his days ahead were not going to be easy!
Then, Qin Yun suddenly stood up. "I understand. I made Xiao Shang sad. I'll go persuade her."
Seeing Qin Yun head towards Xiao Shang's room, Su Muyan also slowly stood up. "I bear some responsibility in this matter too. I'll go as well."
"And me!"
"Let's all go together!"
The other four Senior and Junior Sisters also went together. The remaining women looked at each other. "Then what are we doing here?"
"Follow them, watch the fun."
"Okay!!!"
And so, outside Qin Yushang's door, a crowd of onlookers gathered!
...
When Qin Yun entered Qin Yushang's room, he found Qin Yushang sitting alone on the bed, curled up, with a few glistening teardrops in the corners of her eyes.
Seeing this, Qin Yun's heart ached. Indeed! This girl Xiao Shang was truly his natural counter!
"Xiao Shang, our little heroine, you can't cry secretly like this! If you're angry, hit me hard. Your big brother definitely won't fight back!"
Seeing Qin Yun like this, Qin Yushang suddenly looked up, then rushed towards Qin Yun, throwing punch after punch at his chest.
As a Late Stage Dark Force expert, although Qin Yushang wasn't using her full strength, her little fists packed quite a punch. Yet, Qin Yun took every hit.
"Why? Do you know how good my Senior Sisters have been to me? You... you actually took all of them! I'm simply not human! Pushing my Senior Sisters into a pit of fire like you! I'm just an ungrateful wretch who bites the hand that feeds! Wuwuwu!!!"
For her, after Shen Yingxue was taken by Qin Yun, she was already quite upset. But then she thought, Third Senior Sister has a pure Heart-Nature. Although powerful, she's easily deceived. So, being with Qin Yun might still be a good choice.
Even though Qin Yun had many women, with her around, Third Senior Sister wouldn't suffer the slightest grievance.
But the outcome developed beyond her expectations. Qin Yun had actually conquered all her Senior Sisters. This truth hit her heart like a heavy hammer.
When she first went up the mountain, her Senior Sisters cared for her dearly, trained with her, taught her martial arts. Yet in the end, she had harmed her Senior Sisters.
Qin Yushang didn't know how many punches she threw. Her tears flowed uncontrollably. Seeing she was getting tired from hitting him, Qin Yun simply pulled her into his arms.
Qin Yushang struggled hard but couldn't break free from Qin Yun's hold. "Let me go, let me go! What are you doing!"
"Xiao Shang, I promise you, your Senior Sisters won't fall into a pit of fire because of this. On the contrary, I will give them each a share of my love. The same goes for the other women. I'm unfaithful, I know I'm a scoundrel, but my heart can't help liking them! They, like you, are all good girls. Now, you bear witness to your brother's promise. If I break this promise, you can take my life at any time. I will never resist!"
