Rebellious Lord of All Realms: Su Chen's Dark Harem

Searching for the Soul Ring in the Black Forest, Karin playfully hugs her.After a day of rest, Su Chen led the God-Defying Squad deep into the Black Forest—he needed to find suitable spirit rings for the four Heroines to elevate their strength and prepare for their journey to Suotuo City.

Deep within the Black Forest, ancient trees soared into the sky, their dense branches and leaves obscuring the heavens. Only sporadic sunlight filtered through the gaps, forming dappled spots of light. The air was thick with the scent of Spirit Beasts, and occasional roars echoed, carrying a sense of danger.

”Lord Su Chen, there are so many Spirit Beasts here!” Qing Lin rode her Dark Magic Snake, excitedly looking around. The Small Black Snake Swarm beside her hissed, cautiously scouting their surroundings. ”Are there any powerful snake-type Spirit Beasts? I want to subdue them!”

”Don’t rush, we’ll take them one by one.” Su Chen chuckled, rubbing her head. His God-Defying Byakugan activated, and his black-gold eyes swept across the surroundings, instantly locking onto several powerful Spirit Beast auras. ”Ahead, there’s a thousand-year Healing-Type Spirit Beast, the ’Spirit Mist Deer,’ suitable for Karin; to the west, there’s a thousand-year Shadow Leopard, suitable for Zhuqing... Oh, she hasn’t joined yet, I’ll make a note of it; to the north, there’s a thousand-year Thunder Snake, perfect for Qing Lin; as for Hinata, I’ll help you find a Spirit-Type Soul Beast to strengthen your Byakugan.”

”Thank you, Lord Su Chen!” Karin’s eyes lit up, and she quickly followed Su Chen’s steps, her purple long hair fluttering behind her, looking especially agile.

Hinata followed beside Su Chen, her cheeks slightly flushed, and whispered, ”Lord Su Chen, you don’t need to go out of your way for me. I... I can find one myself.”

”Silly girl, your business is my business.” Su Chen stopped, turned to look at her, and raised a hand to brush a fallen leaf from her hair, his fingertips inadvertently grazing her cheek. ”I want all my darlings to become strong, so no one can bully you.”

Hinata’s cheeks instantly turned crimson. She lowered her head, twisting the hem of her clothes with her hands, and softly replied, ”Mm, thank you, Lord Su Chen.”

Kushina walked over, hooked her arm around Su Chen’s neck, and said with a hint of jealousy, ”Stinky Boy, only doting on those two? Where’s my spirit ring?”

”Of course, you won’t be left out.” Su Chen lowered his head, his nose brushing against her red hair, and chuckled, ”Ahead, there’s a thousand-year Fire-attribute Spirit Beast, the ’Crimson Flame Lion.’ Its spirit ring is perfect for your chakra blade. I’ll help you get it in a bit.”

”That’s more like it.” Kushina released her grip with satisfaction, but still subconsciously linked her arm with his, walking alongside him.

The group headed towards the Spirit Mist Deer. Along the way, they encountered several hundred-year Spirit Beasts, all easily dealt with by Qing Lin’s snake swarm. Soon, they arrived at a misty valley where the Spirit Mist Deer was drinking from a stream, surrounded by a faint green healing mist, appearing gentle and harmless.

”That’s it!” Karin’s eyes flashed with excitement as she turned to Su Chen. ”Lord Su Chen, may I try?”

”Of course.” Su Chen nodded. ”Be careful, although the Spirit Mist Deer’s healing mist is gentle, it can also paralyze nerves.”

Karin nodded, took a deep breath, and released her green Healing Soul Power, walking towards the Spirit Mist Deer. The Spirit Mist Deer sensed danger, raised its head, a flicker of vigilance in its eyes. The healing mist around it instantly thickened, sweeping towards Karin.

”Be careful!” Su Chen quickly warned, but saw Karin skillfully evade the mist, raising her hand to release several green energy blades, attacking the Spirit Mist Deer.

The Spirit Mist Deer leaped lightly, dodging the energy blades, then lowered its head. Its antlers glowed faintly green, and several healing rays shot towards Karin. Karin was caught off guard and hit by the rays, her body stiffening, her movements becoming sluggish.

”Karin!” Su Chen’s heart tightened. Just as he was about to help, he saw Karin grit her teeth, force herself to stand, and release God-Defying Healing Soul Power. A green halo enveloped her, instantly neutralizing the paralyzing effect.

”Lord Su Chen, I can do it!” Karin turned to Su Chen with a determined smile, then charged towards the Spirit Mist Deer again.

Her movements became more agile. The God-Defying Healing Soul Power and the Spirit Mist Deer’s healing mist intertwined, forming a unique energy flow. The Spirit Mist Deer was moved by her tenacity; the vigilance in its eyes gradually disappeared, replaced by a hint of recognition.

Finally, Karin, having expended a significant amount of spirit power, subdued the Spirit Mist Deer. She walked up to the Spirit Mist Deer, gently stroking its antlers, and whispered, ”I’m sorry, I need your spirit ring to become stronger, and I will protect more people in the future.”

The Spirit Mist Deer gently nuzzled her hand, then closed its eyes, its body transforming into a green spirit ring, floating before Karin.

After Karin absorbed the spirit ring, her spirit power instantly surged, reaching the Spirit Grandmaster level. She turned and ran towards Su Chen, her face beaming with an excited smile: ”Lord Su Chen, I succeeded! I broke through to Spirit Grandmaster!”

Su Chen smiled and opened his arms. Karin immediately threw herself into his embrace, tightly hugging his waist, burying her head on his shoulder, her voice soft and sweet: ”Lord Su Chen, thank you! If you hadn’t believed in me, I definitely couldn’t have done it.”

”Silly girl, you yourself are amazing.” Su Chen raised a hand to stroke her purple long hair, his tone gentle, ”You’ll become even stronger in the future, okay?”

”Mm!” Karin nodded heavily, then looked up into Su Chen’s eyes, her cheeks slightly flushed. ”Lord Su Chen, I’m a little tired. Can I hold you a bit longer?”

”Of course you can.” Su Chen chuckled, tightened his embrace around her waist, and lowered his head to press a gentle kiss on her forehead. ”You can hold me for as long as you want.”

Karin’s cheeks instantly flushed crimson. She quickly buried her head back on his shoulder, her heart racing, feeling his warm embrace, and her heart filled with happiness.

Kushina watched the intimate scene between the two, raising an eyebrow, ”Hey, Stinky Boy, don’t just get all mushy with Karin, it’s time to help me find the Crimson Flame Lion!”

”What’s the rush?” Su Chen turned to her with a smile. ”We’ll go right away. But, Kushina, are you perhaps jealous?”

”Who, who’s jealous!” Kushina’s cheeks flushed, and she retorted stubbornly, ”I just don’t want to waste time.”

”Is that so?” Su Chen chuckled, holding Karin as he walked over to her. ”Then when you absorb your spirit ring later, I’ll give you a reward too, how about that?”

”A reward? What reward?” A hint of curiosity flashed in Kushina’s eyes.

”It’s a secret.” Su Chen smiled mysteriously, then, still holding Karin, said to Qing Lin and Hinata, ”Let’s go, to help Kushina find the Crimson Flame Lion.”

Qing Lin, riding her Dark Magic Snake, followed behind, smiling, ”Lord Su Chen, you’re so good to Sister Karin, I want a reward too!”

”Alright, everyone gets a reward.” Su Chen nodded with a smile, his heart filled with doting affection.

Hinata followed at the very back, watching Su Chen and Karin’s intimate display, her cheeks slightly flushed, a hint of envy in her eyes, yet also happy for Karin.

The group headed towards the Crimson Flame Lion’s habitat. Along the way, any Spirit Beasts they encountered were easily dealt with. Su Chen held Karin, occasionally whispering to her, the atmosphere warm and ambiguous.

Soon, they found the Crimson Flame Lion. It was basking in the sun outside a cave, surrounded by roaring flames, exuding an imposing aura.

”That’s it!” A hint of excitement flashed in Kushina’s eyes. She let go of Su Chen’s arm and gripped her red chakra blade. ”Stinky Boy, watch closely, this girl is going to take it down herself!”

”Be careful.” Su Chen cautioned, setting Karin down and letting her, Hinata, and Qing Lin watch from the side.

Kushina nodded, then leaped, charging towards the Crimson Flame Lion. Her red chakra blade, imbued with God-Defying Power, slashed at the Crimson Flame Lion’s flames. The Crimson Flame Lion sensed danger, let out a furious roar, and spewed a massive stream of fire, engulfing Kushina.

Kushina deftly dodged the flames. With a swing of her chakra blade, red saber light intertwined with the flames, creating a fierce collision. Her movements were swift and domineering. The God-Defying Chakra Blade continuously cut through the Crimson Flame Lion’s flames, forcing it back step by step.

Finally, Kushina, having expended a significant amount of spirit power, subdued the Crimson Flame Lion. After absorbing the spirit ring, her spirit power also broke through to the Spirit Grandmaster level. She turned and walked towards Su Chen, her face full of triumphant smiles: ”Stinky Boy, how was it? Wasn’t this girl amazing!”

”Amazing.” Su Chen smiled and nodded. He walked forward, wrapped his arm around her waist, and lowered his head to press a gentle kiss on her lips. ”This is your reward.”

Kushina’s cheeks flushed. She instinctively tried to push him away, but Su Chen held her tighter. Feeling the warmth of his lips, a ripple spread through her heart. She eventually gave up struggling, closed her eyes, and responded to his kiss.

Karin, Hinata, and Qing Lin stood nearby, watching the intimate scene between the two, smiles on their faces. Karin walked to Hinata’s side and whispered, ”Sister Hinata, Lord Su Chen is very good to Sister Kushina too.”

”Mm.” Hinata nodded, her cheeks slightly flushed. ”Lord Su Chen is good to all of us.”

Qing Lin excitedly said, ”It’s my turn next! I want to find the most powerful Thunder Snake Spirit Beast!”

Su Chen and Kushina slowly separated. Kushina’s cheeks were flushed, and she glared at him: ”Stinky Boy, don’t you dare sneak attack me next time!”

”Alright, I’ll tell you in advance next time.” Su Chen chuckled, raising a hand to ruffle her red hair. ”Let’s go, to help Qing Lin find the Thunder Snake.”

The group set off again, heading towards the Thunder Snake’s habitat. In the Black Forest, sunlight filtered through the branches and leaves, shining on them, forming a warm and powerful silhouette. Su Chen looked at the four Heroines beside him, thinking to himself: It’s truly wonderful to have you all.
