Chapter 190: Daily Life in the Imperial Palace - Full of Bonds, Beautiful Women Accompanying the Emperor with Sweet Affection

Bidding farewell to the tender affection at the Spring of Life in the Star Dou Great Forest, Su Chen returned to the Nishen Imperial Palace.

After experiencing the post-war cleanup and the unification of the continent, and subsequently spending intimate dates with Xiao Wu, Zhu Zhuqing, Ning Rongrong, Qian Renxue, and Ah Yin one by one to pour out his heart, he had finally returned to this home belonging to him and his fifteen beauties.

The entire palace was magnificent and majestic, yet it exuded a sense of warmth and coziness everywhere.

There were no complicated court audiences, no flash of swords from the outside world, and no oppressive pressure from the God Realm—only their peaceful daily life and sweet bonds.

As the sun set, the evening glow dyed half the sky red, and the palace lights flickered on one after another, casting a gentle halo over every corner.

Su Chen had just finished his day's itinerary. His body still carried the fresh fragrance of vegetation from the Star Dou Forest and the moist aura of the Spring of Life. The subtle hidden injuries left from his continuous battles had not yet fully faded. As soon as he stepped into the bedchamber, he was surrounded by the beauties waiting there.

Karin was the first to welcome him.

Dressed in a light red dress with her red hair falling softly, her eyes held a hint of shyness and seriousness. She walked quickly to Su Chen and raised her hand to release gentle spirit power, carefully soothing his blood flow and smoothing out the hidden wounds left by the war. Her fingertips lightly brushed over his chest and arms, her movements gentle and meticulous, for fear of hurting him in the slightest.

Feeling Su Chen's steady and powerful aura, Karin's heart beat faster and faster, and her cheeks grew hotter.

While Su Chen closed his eyes to rest and no one was paying attention, she summoned all her courage, quickly stood on her tiptoes, and gave him a light peck on the corner of his lips, like a thieving fawn, pulling away as soon as they touched.

"Mm..."

Su Chen suddenly opened his eyes, a hint of playfulness and indulgence in his gaze.

Karin was so startled that she hurriedly took a step back, her small face flushing red and her ears burning. Her hands tightly gripped the corners of her clothes, her head buried low, and her voice was as thin as a mosquito: "S-sorry... I didn't mean to..."

Su Chen chuckled, stepped forward to gently pinch her chin, lifted her reddened face, and said warmly, "Silly girl, what's there to be sorry for? If you like me, just kiss me. No need to be secretive."

Karin was instantly too ashamed to speak, her eyes reddening slightly, yet she was filled with happiness.

To the side, Hinata stood quietly.

In a pure white long dress, her temperament was gentle and submissive. She had stayed by Su Chen's side from beginning to end, neither speaking nor making a fuss, just watching him with a gentle and firm gaze, like a silently blooming pure white flower. No matter when or where, she would always be his most loyal guardian.

As long as Su Chen was safe, she was at peace; as long as Su Chen was there, she would always be by his side.

"Brother Su Chen, you're back!"

A cheerful voice rang out as Zi Yan came bouncing over. In a purple short skirt, like a lively little flood dragon, she grabbed Su Chen's arm and shook it while acting spoiled: "I want candy, I want candy! Brother Su Chen, buy me some candy, okay?~"

Su Chen was helpless yet indulgent as he reached out to rub the top of her head. "All you think about is eating candy. Watch out for cavities."

Despite his words, he had already raised his hand to condense a crystal-clear candy and handed it to her.

Zi Yan's eyes lit up. Taking the candy, she ran away happily, humming an out-of-tune little tune.

From the direction of the kitchen came bursts of enticing aromas.

Kushina, in a fiery red long dress, was walking over carrying a plate of steaming hot food that had just come out of the pan, her smile bright and hearty: "Su Chen, I specially made your favorite dishes. Come and try them!"

The aroma of the food was fragrant and full of the taste of home. The fatigue from the long journey of conquest instantly dissipated by more than half.

Xiao Xun Er sat quietly by the bed, her posture soft and her temperament gentle. She had already made the bed warm, soft, and comfortable.

She looked up at Su Chen with a slight smile in her eyes: "I've warmed the bed. You can have a good rest in a bit."

Not far away, Xiao Yi Xian, dressed in plain clothes, carried a bowl of carefully prepared medicinal cuisine. She walked gently to Su Chen, her voice as soft as water: "Su Chen, this is the Restorative Medicinal Meal I brewed for you. It's good for your body. Drink it while it's hot."

The medicinal fragrance was mellow, mild, and nourishing, entirely a reflection of her delicate care.

Yun Yun held a long sword and stood quietly in the hall, her posture elegant as a sword and her temperament cold and ethereal.

She looked at Su Chen and smiled slightly: "I will practice the sword with you."

No words were needed; just one sword and one heart were the most tacit form of companionship.

Hanabi stood to the side full of energy, eager to try: "Brother Su Chen, I'll accompany you in your cultivation! I've become stronger again recently!"

Medusa leaned against the soft couch in a crimson long dress, enchanting and seductive. With a beckoning Charm in her eyes, she gently waved to Su Chen, her voice lazy and alluring: "Su Chen, come here and sleep with me."

Her snake-like hemline wound gently, enchanting to the bone with infinite Charm.

Qing Lin, meanwhile, led several small and exquisite Spirit Snakes as she patrolled quietly outside the hall. She controlled the snake swarm to guard the palace's safety, her movements gentle and obedient, isolating all potential disturbances just to give Su Chen and the sisters a peaceful environment.

For a moment, the bedchamber was overflowing with warmth and sweetness.

Karin's shy stolen kiss, Hinata's silent protection, Kushina's fragrant cooking, Zi Yan's spoiled request for candy, Hanabi's companionship in cultivation, Medusa's seductive invitation, Xiao Xun Er's gentle bed-warming, Xiao Yi Xian's attentive medicinal meal, Yun Yun's sword practice, Qing Lin's snake patrol... the fifteen beauties each had their own style, tenderness, and intent, all revolving around Su Chen alone.

Su Chen stood in the center of the crowd, surrounded by endless warmth and love.

He raised his hand and gently stroked the top of each beauty's head in turn, his gaze so tender it could almost melt.

From defying heaven through slaughter to unifying the continent, from sealing the God Realm Passage to possessing a harem of beauties, he had fought bloodily all the way, overcoming countless hardships and obstacles to stand at the peak of the Douluo Continent. What he sought was never some supreme hegemony or eternal fame.

But this very moment.

To have a home, food, warmth, and beauties around him; to have gentle companionship and years of peaceful security.

"It's been hard on all of you."

Su Chen's voice was deep and gentle, filled with infinite indulgence and treasure. "I pacified the world, sealed the God Realm, and unified the continent. Everything I did was only for you."

"So that you would no longer have to wander, no longer have to face life-and-death struggles, and no longer have to live in fear."

"So that each of you can be carefree, happy, and healthy."

"Now, the wish has been realized."

"From now on, I am no longer that powerhouse who only knows how to defy heaven and kill. I am just your Brother Su Chen, just your lover."

"For the rest of my life, I will share my love equally, spending every night with a different person and taking everyone on trips during the weekends to see the beautiful scenery of the continent."

"All of you are the most precious treasures in my heart."

As his voice fell, there was a moment of silence in the bedchamber, followed by countless gentle responses.

"Brother Su Chen..."

"We will stay with you forever."

"Never to leave, in life and death."

The fifteen beauties gathered around, leaning close to Su Chen.

Some hugged his waist, some held his arms, some leaned on his shoulders, and some looked up at him. Every pair of eyes was filled with love and reliance for Su Chen.

Karin blushed and quietly pulled at his sleeve; Hinata leaned peacefully by his side, her eyes full of serenity; Zi Yan had candy in her mouth and a brilliant smile; Kushina patted his shoulder, hearty yet gentle; Medusa's snake tail wound around him lightly, seductive to the bone; Xiao Yi Xian, Xun'er, Yun Yun, Qing Lin, Hanabi... everyone's hearts were tightly tied to Su Chen alone.

Su Chen opened his arms and drew all the beauties into his embrace.

The God-Defying Power spread out mildly, forming a warm light shield that firmly protected everyone within.

No war, no killing, no schemes, no pressure.

Only the warmth of the embrace, only each other's heartbeats, only endless love and tenderness flowed slowly in the bedchamber, spreading to every corner of the palace.

The evening glow faded, and night fell.

The palace was brightly lit, gentle as water, illuminating the figures embracing each other.

This was the warmest daily life after the war, their unique sweet bond, and the most perfect tenderness after unifying the continent.

And this was only the beginning.

The coronation ceremony was approaching. The Great Emperor Reverse Lord would descend upon the world, and fifteen Empresses would be crowned. From then on, he would stay with them for a lifetime, seeing the beautiful scenery of the continent and spending the years together until eternity.
