My Xianxia Harem Life

Eve glanced up, her expression unreadable but her eyes bright with the satisfaction of having met his expectations.

”Your breakfast is ready, Young Master Riley. And there’s also someone waiting for you inside,” she announced, her tone professional yet tinged with curiosity.

Her gaze lingered on him for a moment longer than usual, perhaps wondering just who could be seeking him out at this early hour and what was her purpose in coming.

”A guest?” Riley asked, raising an eyebrow, the first hint of intrigue in his voice.

Guests at this time of day were rare, and Riley’s curiosity was piqued.

But before Eve could respond, he closed his eyes, reaching out with his divine sense.

He didn’t need to wait long—his senses quickly scanned the area, searching for the visitor.

As he focused, the presence of the guest came into clear view.

His divine sense locked onto her, and Riley felt a familiar aura that immediately drew his attention.

It was someone he hadn’t expected to encounter today. He felt a surge of surprise and, surprisingly, a spark of anticipation.

”She’s…” Riley murmured under his breath, unable to hide his astonishment.

His words trailed off as he concentrated more intently, confirming the identity of the person outside.

A fleeting look of disbelief crossed his features, but it quickly melted away into something more eager, more focused.

The unexpected guest wasn’t someone he’d been expecting, but there was something about her presence that excited him.

He could sense it—the aura she carried, the weight of her intentions.

He stood up from his seat at the table, pushing his plate aside.

His expression shifted, no longer one of casual indifference but one of keen interest.

An eager gleam appeared in his eyes, a look of someone who was suddenly very interested in what this guest had to offer.

”Looks like today’s breakfast might just have a bit of an unexpected flavor,” Riley mused aloud, his voice carrying a sense of excitement.

”Beeeeeee!” Fluffy complained, its tiny paws tapping the table in frustration, clearly eager to eat again.

”Nope, later,” Riley replied firmly. ”Wait for me, or you’ll end up sweeping the table clean with that big mouth of yours, Fluffy.”

”Beeeeeeeee!” Fluffy trotted over to Eve’s side, looking up at her with pleading eyes, as if hoping for some sort of rescue.

But Eve simply smiled, her eyes softening at the sight of the adorable orange ball.

She reached down and gently patted Fluffy, offering a little comfort but no help.

”You’ll have to wait, little one,” she said with a soft chuckle, her affection clear in her touch.

With a final glance at the table of food, Riley turned toward the door leading into the interior of the Summit.

”I suppose I’ll see what this visitor has to offer,” he said, his voice laced with a hint of amusement.

He couldn’t help but feel intrigued.

With his curiosity now fully awakened, Riley stepped forward, ready to meet this unexpected guest and discover what they had come to him for.

He entered the guest hall, his gaze immediately drawn to an extraordinarily beautiful blonde woman seated at the center of the room.

Riley instantly recognized her. She was Bianca, one of the three legendary beauties of the Stone Mountain sect, renowned for her unparalleled grace and poise, standing shoulder to shoulder with Kathrine in both beauty and temperament.

Bianca’s long, silky blonde hair cascaded down her back like a waterfall of gold, and her flawless skin seemed to glow under the soft light of the hall.

Riley watched as she stood up, moving with the elegance of a queen.

His eyes wandered briefly, noting how her sect uniform, a figure-hugging attire that accentuated her every curve, was nothing short of mesmerizing.

It was clear that the fabric had been designed to both empower and allure, molding her body in the most seductive way possible.

Her slim waist, rounded hips, and ample bust would drive any man wild with desire, the sort of physique that would set hearts racing.

Yet, Riley was no longer the naïve, inexperienced young man he once had been.

After his countless times of dual cultivation and battles on the bed, the effect of such beauty no longer had the same hold on him.

He had seen enough women—both beautiful and dangerous—to be unphased by the allure of a perfect body or stunning face.

Bianca, despite her allure, would not distract him. He had learned to keep his focus on the bigger picture.

”Greetings, Elder Riley! I apologize if I came unannounced,” Bianca said, her voice soft yet confident, as she bowed respectfully before him.

Riley offered a calm smile and waved a hand dismissively.

”No worries. Please, sit down, Core Disciple Bianca,” he replied, his voice steady.

Bianca’s smile deepened, and in that moment, her beauty seemed to intensify exponentially.

It was as if a veil had been lifted from her, and her already stunning features became impossibly more captivating.

Her eyes sparkled with an inner light, and the air around her seemed to hum with an almost magical aura.

It was as though her very presence made the atmosphere feel more vibrant, her charm impossible to resist, but not for someone like Riley, who prided himself on his control.

”Thank you, Elder Riley,” Bianca said, her voice laced with warmth as she gracefully took a seat.

Her beauty now radiated in such a way that Riley couldn’t help but feel a twinge of admiration, despite himself.

He had seen many beautiful women throughout his life, but there was something about Bianca’s charm that seemed to transcend mere appearance.

It was an innate quality, something deep within her that made her impossible to ignore.

Riley also took his chair, watching her with a hint of amusement.

Tsk tsk, beautiful women really have some powerful tricks up their sleeves, he thought, bemused.

”So, what can I do for you, Core Disciple Bianca?” Riley asked, his tone calm and measured.

At the same time, he discreetly copied Bianca’s entire memory into his own, ensuring there were no surprises.

Women were unpredictable—dangerous even—especially when they were as mesmerizing as this one.
