Harem Overlord

"But why are you leaving so soon?" Laofen asked as Kai gave her a sad smile.

"It's cause there are many people who want me dead and they are going to coming at me soon. I will spend a few more days here before leaving this place with Sahara, Risea, and Mia." Kai replied as Laofen looked confused.

"What about the others?" She asked as Kai shook his head.

"Since this is a sovereign realm, my next ascension should be to an upper realm or the half-beast realm. The half-beast realm, the human realm, and the spirit realm are places where I am more than happy to take everyone with me but if we land on the demon realm or the angel realm, things are going to get out of hand." Kai replied as Laofen shook her head.

"You can easily take care of the small fries and you have the two legendary swords with you. What is the real reason you don't want to take them?" Laofen asked as Kai sighed.

"I can somehow defeat the people on the realms but it's the real enemies that I feel uneasy about. There is apparently a hidden organization who knows what happened to me and my harem and then there is the memory manipulator roaming around. Honestly, there are too many things to worry about." Kai replied as Laofen finally nodded.

"The will you spend the rest of your time with me?" Laofen asked as Kai smiled and nodded.

"Then tell me how did you fall in love with Laoxiao?" Laofen asked as Kai teleported them to her balcony.

"What do you think love is, Laofen?" Kai suddenly asked as Laofen tilted her head in confusion.

"What do you mean by that?" She asked as Kai sighed.

"Let's start it simple. What's the difference between a friend and a best friend?" Kai asked as Laofen thought about it for a few seconds.

"A friend is someone you know and like to spend some time with but a best friend is just like a family member who you can confide in anything you want to." Laofen decided to go with the simplest answer as Kai nodded.

"Then what's the difference between a lover and a best friend?" Kai asked as Laofen thought about it for quite some while.

"A lover is someone who you love?' She said in a guessing tone as Kai chuckled.

"There are many definitions of a lover, it can be a person who you trust completely, someone who makes you laugh, someone who pushes you in your worst time, someone who makes you want to continue living, etc. But then some people started off as friends and later became lovers.

A lover can be someone with similar interests to you and yet can be someone completely different from you. Honestly, there isn't any particular thing that describes a lover. You can't describe someone using just a word." Kai replied as Laofen nodded.

"But yet you know that you are in love with someone." She added as Kai smiled.

"When you are in love with someone, you want to be near them every single moment of your life. You feel a pull towards them and their mere touch makes you want to have more of them." Kai said in a soft voice as his hand moved forward and touched Laofen's right cheek.

"You might feel your heartbeat go up when they are touching you or you might just admire them from afar as you are afraid." He continued as he moved a little closer to Laofen whose vision was starting to get dizzy.

"But perhaps none of this actually happens?" He suddenly said and came back as Laofen blinked rapidly.

"What do you mean that none of this actually happens?" Laofen asked as Kai smiled.

"I know it Laofen. I have known it for a long time." He replied as her body suddenly froze.

"You have known what?" She asked slowly as he came forward and whispered in her ear.

"I know that you love me." He said softly as heat crept up on Laofen's cheeks.

"You knew?" She whispered slowly as Kai came back and nodded.

"I already had quite a fair amount of experience in love when I came to heal Laoxiao. I had to stay here for a few years to make sure that she was all right and saw you both grow side by side. And your mother definitely had a sense of humor when she asked me to give you the talk and all that." Kai replied but Laofen remained silent.

"After making sure that Laoxiao was all right, I left the realm a few years later. But when I came back, both of you had already grown up and Laoxiao had become the ruler. Your mother had already died a few days ago and you both were fighting.

The entire realm was in chaos since Laoxiao didn't know anything about controlling people. Even the advisors couldn't help her. I guess I took pity on her and helped her. I lessoned her in kingdom management and during that time, we grew close together. That was the beginning of our love." Kai finished as Laofen remained silent.

"I knew that you love me too but I wasn't sure that whether it was the idolizing love or real love. Guess I wasn't as mastered in the art as much as I had thought." Kai added with a chuckle as Laofen spoke up.

"It started by me idolizing you when you first visited us. Being a princess, I didn't meet any boys except cousins and instead of meeting them, I preferred to read in my spare time. Laoxiao on the other hand was an expert at stating what she felt and that is why she managed to obtain your love much before I could even think whether I loved you or not." She said slowly before stopping.

"What about now?" Kai asked as Laofen smiled at him.

"Now I know that if you want something, you just take it." She replied as she moved forward and kissed Kai before pushing him down.
