Chapter 8: First Disciple

Chapter 8: First Disciple

Maybe it was because Ying Yue was the first person to treat Shen Yu so well that he quickly became fond of her, but he was at least sure of her being good for his Sect.

He really liked her personality, and although he was sure there were many women more beautiful than her, he thought she deserved to be in his Divine Harem Sect and, of course, his harem. But he wasn't going to rush on that.

That's why he asked her to join.

Ying Yue stood rooted to the ground, wondering if she had heard it wrong. Did he really ask someone like her to join the Sect? Even after knowing the truth? Even with her wasted potential?

'Right! That must be a test. He already knew about my identity but wanted to test if I was honest. So, I basically passed his test because I told the truth?'

Ying Yue pursed her lips and answered.

"I will be more than happy to join, but do I even deserve to be here? My potential is very poor, and I'll just bring shame to this Sect."

"You don't have to be worried about that. As I said before, I had reached the top. With me here, even if you were a mortal, I can help you reach the top easily. Don't underestimate me, young lady."

Shen Yu spoke with a smile on his face, the morning sun behaving like a halo behind his face, making him seem like a Divine God. That image struck Ying Yue's heart as she looked at him with stars shining in her eyes.

For someone like Ying Yue, who had lived in a world of betrayal and caution all her life and hadn't seen a single kind person, Shen Yu was like a new light of hope for her.

'Ah! Is this what they call falling in love at first sight? I really love him. He needs love, right? He wants people to love him unconditionally. Don't worry, Master; I'll fulfill that dream and give you all the love you deserve. I will also ensure nobody takes advantage of your kindness; no one will stand in your way.'

Her eyes shined with madness as a crazed smile struggled to appear on her face. Now, she didn't care about the people who betrayed her or anything. All she knew was that she wanted to serve Shen Yu and love him while ensuring nobody took advantage of him. After all, he was so kind, and the world was cruel; it would definitely try to take advantage of him. She wouldn't allow that. She would never.

Ying Yue composed herself, suppressing her crazy thoughts, and smiled. She went forward and bowed her head, "Disciple greets Master."

Shen Yu sighed in disappointment. He really was wishing that Ying Yue would be touched by his bullshit and accept his proposal. But guess she just wanted to be a disciple.

'No matter. I'll still teach her to the best I can. Well, I'm not completely rejected anyways.'

"Actually, Master, I don't have a problem with being in your harem. It was just that I was a little shy. In fact, I've fallen for you at first sight, so if you don't mind having someone like me as your wife, then please take care of me."

This time, it was Shen Yu's turn to be stunned as he looked at the smile on Ying Yue's slightly red face. She was being honest when she said that, and she truly loved him. He could see that. That's what surprised him and filled his heart with an unknown feeling he was feeling for the first time in his whole life.

The feeling of being loved. The feeling he longed for.
