Divine Harem: My Sect of Heavenly Beauties

The room stayed in a complete silence as everyone gave some time to Ning Xi. She was headstrong, stubborn but most of all, her will was the strongest.

Even if her past had broken her, she had held on for years, all alone. But now she had a whole family who loved her.

After some time, Ning Xi stopped sobbing and pulled away from Shen Yu's embrace. She had realised her condition long ago and could have stopped but Shen Yu provided a strange protection and warmth to her, which made loose her guard and surrender herself.

That was why she cried to her heart's content. All the years of pent up trauma, she had vent it all out. The pain was still there, but she felt much better now.

She wiped her face and smiled at Shen Yu.

"Hehe, sorry that you had to see such an ugly side of mine."

"Nothing of you is ugly. And every side of you is mine and they're beautiful. Even these tears."

Shen Yu gave her a reassuring smile and patted her head.

"I'm sorry, Master. I was going in wrong direction. But I'll change. I swear I'll control my jumpiness."

"What the hell is jumpiness?"

Shen Yu rolled his eyes at her but a chuckle still left his mouth.

"Hehe, well, you know. Anyways, even if you say so, Master but I know what I've done wrong. So I apologise and hereby swear that I'll never repeat my mistakes again."

Hearing her resolution, Shen Yu couldn't help but smile. He rubbed her head and mumbled.

"As long as you're safe, dummy. What more I need?"

Ning Xi grinned, hearing that and enjoyed the pats. She then looked at Qing Zhiyan and winked at her.

"Sorry for stealing your stage, Lil Missy."

Qing Zhiyan who had just came in terms with the shock she experienced heard her and almost facepalmed.

The ladies chuckled and one by one began to give a warm hug to Ning Xi. Even Qing Zhiyan came and hugged her tightly, as if trying to assure her that someone was there for her.

And the last person was Ying Yue. She just stood there and glared at Ning Xi.

"You dumb bitch. If you have some problem then just share with us. Didn't you proudly say that we're family, that we're sisters and that we should look after each other? Then what?

Huh?"

Ning Xi took a step back as Ying Yue advanced at her in anger. She could even see hints of dried up tears in the corner of her eyes, which shocked Ning Xi to the core.

A wry smile appeared on her face as she thought.

'I was really being a bitch. Not only was I endangering them with my pointless anger, I was also going back on my own words. Did I really not change after all these years? Why am I repeating the same thing?

Why?'

Ning Xi wanted to punch herself but she didn't. It was her mistake. She had wronged her sisters and they had every right to be angry but they were instead supporting her, crying for her.

And what about her? What was she doing for them?

Ying Yue grabbed Ning Xi's collar and said, gritting her teeth in anger.

"Tell me bitch. Do you really consider us as your family?"

"Of course, I do. I'm willing to sacrifice for you all."

"We don't need your sacrifice. We need you, can't you understand a simple thing? We knew you were going through something but we never talked about it because you didn't want. We wanted you to tell us when you feel like to.

But what are you doing?"

At this point, even Ying Yue couldn't control her tears. She had considered everyone as her family, so now this felt like a betrayal to her, just like back then.

Shen Yu sighed and hugged both of them with both of his hands as his voice sounded in whole room, mixed with a strange energy that soothed their emotions.

"Calm down. I know how you all are feeling and believe me, I'm also the same. But calm down and think it through. Talk to each other.

We're all family so we can solve things just by talking. Also, Yue'er, nobody has betrayed you and nobody will."

Ying Yue shuddered hearing his words, knowing that he had seen through everything she was feeling. But she couldn't help it. She wanted to be there when her family was going through hardship, she wanted to help but the other side didn't even bother telling her the problem.

She felt like she had been betrayed once again.

But Shen Yu's words calmed her heart down. Her emotions were soothed and she felt a lot better, and also gained clarity to think properly.

Finally, when Shen Yu saw that both women were in good condition, he sighed in relief. How could he tell them how he was feeling? He wasn't faring any better but he also understood them.

Talking about past trauma wasn't easy. It scratched old wounds that one wanted to avoid. And he knew that sometimes, the strongest had the weakest resistance towards these things.

Ning Xi had a soft heart that she hid behind her tough act. He knew it very well and it told him that it wasn't easy for her to open up. But he also felt a little hurt, knowing that even though so many days had passed, he still wasn't able to assure her enough to tell him about her past.

Still, he wasn't going to show that. He was their man, the strong shoulders they depended on. He was their mental support and he needed to be strong in such times.

That was why, he didn't break and neither shed a single tear.

"Is everything okay now?"

Shen Yu asked, looking around at the other ladies. The other members of the family who felt various emotions but didn't tell much. They had their own past to deal with, after all.

Everyone noticed the pain in his eyes and that made their heart aches. So, they all smiled at him, trying to reassure him and said.

"Everything is good Master."
