Chapter 73: Wholesome
"Very well, Master Shen. From today onwards, I, Song Junwan, am a part of Divine Harem Sect. And I'll also take you as my husband so please take care of me."
Song Junwan bowed her head slightly and said, making Shen Yu smile in happiness. She raised her head and continued.
"And don't be mistaken. I'm not doing this because I'm desperate. No matter what, I won't choose my husband rashly. That's the reason I rejected that old bones even after all that. The reason I'm choosing you is because I trust Ming'er. We're of same breed in a way and that's why we haven't found our partner till now. If she accepts you as her partner then I don't need more reasons to be with you."
Song Junwan suddenly remembered something and turned towards Lan Ming, as she asked.
"Have you told him about it?"
Lan Ming was confused at first, wondering what Song Junwan meant but then it clicked her. Her cheeks went red as she shook her head hurriedly.
Song Junwan sighed and said.
"Right! If she had told you then we wouldn't be having this discussion. Master Shen, we actually had a deal with us that we would share our husband when we didn't find anyone worthy for us. We trusted each other and knew that the other will choose the best partner. So, in a way I was already your wife when you accepted her."
Shen Yu was speechless as he looked at both of them. He somehow felt wronged but he didn't voice it out. They were now his wives and that was all that mattered.
"That's...good, I can understand you. And I'm happy that you chose to join the sect. And I'm not even kidding. You don't know how badly I needed someone like you in my sect."
At Song Junwan's questioning gaze, Shen Yu sighed and said.
"You see, I'm lazy and don't know much about Sects, like how they're managed and administered. I've been in only one Sect since my birth and this is the first sect I made. So yeah, I needed someone to manage this all."
Song Junwan nodded in understanding and replied.
"For that, you don't really need me. In fact, you already had the best person for that. You see, My Junior Sister is far more capable in this aspect than me and she had managed the Wind Flower Sect in my place."
Shen Yu was surprised and turned towards Lan Ming who just scratched her cheeks in embarrassment. She felt shy seeing two most important person in her life praising her.
'Woah! I expected her to be an expert but I was underestimating her.'
"So yes, if you want someone to manage your Sect, it has to be Ming. Nobody is better than her in management and Administration..."
Song Junwan continued to list Lan Ming's qualities one by one. She was looking like a proud Elder sibling who couldn't stop praising their young sibling.
Others were clearly curious about the shy girl and listened to Song Junwan attentively, which made Lan Ming even more embarassed. Her face was as bright as Xiao Lan's hair.
She stood up and slammed her palm on Song Junwan's mouth. She shouted, completely flustered.
"S-Stop it! Elder Sis."
Song Junwan made a muffled laugh as she patted Lan Ming's hand on her mouth. Even others began laughing, which made Lan Ming angry in embarrassment.
"Hmph! I'm not talking to you for a week...I mean a few days..."
"Haha, Master Shen, don't you think my little sister is very cute."
"Indeed, there no one as cute as My Ming'er."
"M-Master, not you too. Why are you all bullying me?"
Lan Ming jumped on Shen Yu and burried her face in his embrace to hide her flustered face. Song Junwan jaw almost dropped on the ground looking at Lan Ming's behaviour. She couldn't believe what she was saying.
"Hey! That's cheating! You're just faking your embarassment to get close to master."
Xiao Lan roared, instantly understanding what Lan Ming was doing. After all, she herself had that idea but was too embarassed to act on that. She never expected Lan Ming to be so cunny.
Lan Ming poked her head out from Shen Yu's arms and winked at Xiao Lan, making her even more enraged.
Everyone laughed at their little fight as the wholesome atmosphere made them closer to each other. Lan Ming then pulled back and smiled at Shen Yu.
"Don't worry, Master. Leave everything to me. I'll make our Sect the best."
"I trust my shy wife. You are the Grand Elder of Divine Harem Sect from now on. Your rank is just below mine and you can command everyone in this sect."
Lan Ming puffed her chest in pride and didn't forget to send a victory gaze at Ying Yue and Xiao Lan. While Ying Yue gave her a thumbs up, Xiao Lan clicked her tongue and looked away.
Shen Yu just shook his head and didn't say anything. He didn't want to meddle in their matter. He was already very happy for the fact they were getting along so well. As for whether Lan Ming would abuse her authority, he didn't believe so. He knew her well enough that she would never do something like this.
"And you, Lady Song will be the the Prime Elder. I can't have a Nascent Soul Realm expert like you be a disciple, Can I?"
"You can just call me Junwan or whatever you wish, Master. I'm your wife now. And thanks for accepting me, I'll do everything for this Sect."
Song Junwan smiled. And just like that, Divine Harem Sect grew bigger.
