Heavenly Harem Sect
Chapter 238 - 238: Lindsay's Transformation Part 2

[: Daniel POV :]

''Daniel...''

Her eyes, still adjusting to the new reality she was presented with, were fixed upon me.

I could tell she was trying to comprehend it all.

All the power that had been granted to her in a fleeting moment; how much had changed for her in such a short time.

There was an unmistakable air of excitement about her and I gave her a warm smile, ''Do you like it? The powers that I have granted to you?''

No words came from her initially, as if she were trying to take it all in.

But then without warning she stepped closer and embraced me tightly.

When she pulled away I noticed a haunting glow in her eyes, not of sadness, but of joy.

She answered softly, ''I liked it very much...''

Her unspoken emotions told me more than any spoken word ever could have.

''Do you have anything to say?''

I queried, eager to hear what my beloved had to say.

She shook her head in response, her lips pursed tightly, and I was taken aback.

I thought that she'd be shocked by the way I'd been able to grant her such prowess, yet here she was, nonplussed.

''There's no need for me to know about who you are and those strange realms had granted me enough knowledge for me to know that you aren't an ordinary cultivator,''

She answered honestly.

''I had fallen for you not because of your status or powers, but now, you're making me even more obsessed over you,''

She declared, her gaze holding mine intensely as her eyes shimmered with emotion.

Her hair had changed hue from its original colour into a fiery red while her eyes had shifted to an emerald green.

A transformation that only seemed to make her beauty all the more captivating and it didn't take long before anyone near us felt their heart swell with desire.

Yet all I saw in her gaze right now was an unquenchable thirst for me.

''Then, I don't mind receiving your heavy love and I won't be ever sick of it,''

I declared, feeling a warmth rising inside me at her words.

Her lips widened into a beautiful smile as she looked upon my face.

''Then since you have overwhelming strength, does that mean that in the past few days, the city has changed because of you?''

She suspected that it was me who changed the city and she couldn't help but feel that way because she realized that I wasn't any ordinary cultivator.

I met her gaze evenly, taking in her inquisitive expression.

''That's right, I am the person who caused the changes in the city,''

I declared. Awe flickered across her face before being replaced by an amused smirk.

''I never thought in one million years that the person who I fell for would turn out to be such a terrifying cultivator!''

She joked, her voice slightly quivering with excitement.

''And this terrifying cultivator would always eat you!''

I joked back, though it was rather lame.

Nonetheless, it brought forth peals of laughter from her lips.

''Then, what are we going to do next?'' She asked when our laughter died down.

The corner of my lips twitched up into a half-smile as I looked at her sincerely.

''I have become your disciple and your woman, so what role do I play?''

She questioned further, looking up at me expectantly.

''Honestly, there's no need for you to do anything aside from just serving me and strive for what you want to be,''

I answered kindly.

Taking hold of her hands with mine, I continued on.

''Even though I have hundreds of thousands of disciples, it's up to them whether they wish to do what they want or stay within the sect that I have made''

The look in her eyes told me that she understood my words fully.

''Aren't you being a bit too generous as a sect leader?''

She questioned, her voice tinged with a teasing lilt.

''And why do you need so many disciples?'' she added before I could respond, raising an eyebrow.

I couldn't help but smirk.

''Why don't we spend another night together and I'll explain why I need this many followers,''

I retorted playfully, watching as her cheeks flushed at my suggestion.

She shook her head in amusement.

''But even then, It's still my dream to create a paradise for women; basically making this a harem for me,''

I continued.

''Which begs the question—why?''

I understood why she would be sceptical of my motives.

After all, it was unheard of for a sect leader to recruit only women unless it was a matriarchal sect or one ruled by someone's personal desires.

However, for someone like me who possessed unimaginable power and resources, it seemed wasteful to simply amass an army of females.

If I had to answer truthfully, perhaps it was just an inner wish of mine to create a huge harem with which I could indulge myself, and luckily enough, I had the means to do so.

The thought alone made me inwardly chuckle in amusement before looking her dead in the eye and replying with confidence, ''Well, isn't that because I can?''

The response had clearly taken her by surprise as she let out a short laugh before responding, ''You're right; there's nothing strange about it.''

Her expression grew pensive as if pondering something before continuing on with newfound clarity, ''Only those with strength have what they want and it has been proven throughout history.''

She remarked.

I smiled and patted her shoulder.

''I guess that's a good way to put it,'' I said, winking before continuing, ''but enough of that, let me bring you to the sect.''

As the words left my lips, I could feel a wave of excitement washing over me.

She looked at me with curiosity in her eyes and slowly nodded her head.

Taking her hand in mine, I led her outside and pointed my finger up towards the sky where the sect was floating.

''There, can you see it?''

I asked and she perked up following the direction of my gaze. Her eyes widened in awe and she gasped softly.

''Even though I have seen it, I can't help but be amazed by how it's floating in the sky''

She remarked as we still stood there marvelling at the sight.

I turned around to face her with a twinkle in my eye and said, ''Let me bring you up there.''

Then without warning, I scooped her up like a princess with both my arms around her waist and she let out a sound of surprise.

Pink tinted her cheeks as embarrassment settled on her but within the same breath, joy escaped from her lips.

Before she had any time to react, I had already teleported us onto the inside of the sect.

''We're here,''

I announced as I carefully placed her down on the ground.

She wobbled due to a sudden change in gravity before regaining her balance.

''That was fast'' She exclaimed quietly gazing around in amazement.

''This is beautiful!''

She marvelled, gazing in awe around her.

There was a distant murmuring of activity and she looked further to see a great horde of disciples training zealously with their techniques.

''Now that I have seen it with my eyes, the number of disciples you have here is unmatched,''

She concluded, admiration evident in her voice.

Far away from us, the disciples seemed to notice my presence as one of them suddenly exclaimed, ''Sect Master is here!''

His cry was taken up like wildfire and within moments, all eyes had turned towards me - filled with excitement and reverence.

With one unified voice, they saluted me in deference.

''Please continue what you were doing and take note, there is a new disciple, and she's right beside me,''

I said, pointing to Lindsay.

Their eyes immediately shot in her direction and I could see her tense up slightly.

''Her name is Lindsay and be sure to treat her well,''

I said with a laugh.

In response, all of them bowed towards us as one in welcome before uttering out in unison ''Welcome Sister Lindsay''.

It was almost surreal how it felt like a cult welcoming another member into the fold.

Despite her nervousness, Lindsay managed to greet each of them back with a shaky smile before I dismissed them from my presence.

Once they had returned to their work, I turned to Lindsay to ask for her opinion.

''I thought with so many disciples, it might have been hard in controlling and disciplining them, but it seems that I was wrong.''

She exclaimed. '

'They are very respectful towards you and the extent of their admiration for you is beyond words.''

Nodding my head in agreement, I explained ''It's because of the resources and powers I had granted them that their loyalties towards me are absolute.''

''Don't tell me, every one of them is the same as me?''

Lindsay's brows furrowed together as her steps faltered. I turned to face her, my lips quirking into a small smile.

''Of course. Each one of them has received their powers from me.''

I replied calmly. Her eyes widened in awe and disbelief.

''That's... unbelievable and if that's true...then, what kind of sect do you have?''

Her voice was laced with a hint of fear and wonder as she asked the question.

She found it unbelievable that every disciple was endowed with monstrous powers that could rule the world.

All I did was offer her a warm smile as I started to tour the sect with her.
