My CEO Harem Cultivation System

Taiga thought that she looked good and great—and she was pretty damn flexible too. But then the water poured down and she saw the woman waiting up the balcony, the tigress spirit immediately recognized who it was.

She landed on the platform and saw a blue-haired woman with tantalizing features… wearing sweatpants and a hoodie. Well, her clothes didn't matter at all—her face was beautiful and underneath those baggy pants were no doubt an attractive body.

"You're…" Taiga began.

Li Yang arrived a second later after her and then glanced at Bai Minghua. It was obvious that a man of his standing knew someone like the top idol of the recent year—even the boys in Shou Temple knew who she was—so Taiga awkwardly waved a hand.

"You've brought someone?" Bai Minghua glanced at her swiftly before addressing Li Yang.

He shrugged nonchalantly. "You never mentioned anything about it being an exclusive meeting.."

"Well, whatever—does she know what we are?" Bai Minghua started and then halted at Li Yang's look. "Oh, she doesn't?"

The man had a pointed look on his face that made her queasy.

It was their just their first time meeting and Taiga didn't like how the conversation began already. While it was obvious from the get-go that Li Yang's meeting with Bai Minghua was clearly out of the ordinary… this woman was probably making it bigger than what it actually was.

"What are you guys?" Taiga found a bean bag and sank into it. She crossed her legs and compared hers to the idol… and she cleared her throat. "Also, is there food here? Taiga's feeling a little hungry."

The look on Bai Minghua's face as her expression twitched slightly but then smoothed over as she picked up a board out of nowhere and then slid it over the table—it was priceless. 

Li Yang on the other hand just looked at Taiga mildly amused.

Or maybe it was a resigned but accepted look.

That was enough to make her smile… because he was being kind to her. It wasn't just because the Bossman felt guilty, right?

"You were in Japan last night, you've come back pretty fast," Bai Minghua said. She figured out through the System that she was the only one who was officially in Li Yang's harem and so she didn't pay much attention to the girl.

Li Yang sighed inwardly but then nodded. "I guess it's fair that you know my whereabouts."

Bai Minghua crossed her arms, quickly nodding and agreeing with him. "Of course—you involved me."

"I don't think I remember it that way," Li Yang said. 

"And what do you mean by that?"

"You were the one who made the decision in the end."

The Mermaid stared at Li Yang unamused but then reluctantly scowled. 

"So perhaps I did—where are my answers now? You've gone to a place far beyond the normal reach of the..." While Bai Mingua actually didn't mind it if Taiga learned of the relationship between her and Li Yang. "Of my ability to connect with you."

The man didn't look comfortable at all.

Was the curse that she told him about truly that all-encompassing? Bai Minghua rubbed her face and then cursed her own self for finding it hard to resist that slightly unhappy expression on his face.

"Well, you wouldn't have the slightest guess of where Bossman went," Taiga said. She tried looking at the menu, but then couldn't help but interject at this moment. A childish way to show how much closer she was to Li Yang, but she didn't mind it at all.

Bai Minghua stared at the tigress spirit and wrinkled her nose. Not only was this tiger girl wrong about that—was this what Li Yang's tastes went now? Bai Minghua faintly recalled the secretary girl at the concert, but it seemed like this was someone else.

Even that girl who attempted to pee in the hotel wasn't as annoying as this one for the Mermaid. 

"I was in another world or realm, I hope that answers your question." Li Yang finally said. He knew that the two were distinct, but it was probably fair to say that it was both a different world located in another realm.

Bai Minghua raised her drink to her lips and took a sip. "It answered where and how exactly you disappeared… but why? Did you attempt to find a cure?"

"You could perhaps say that…" Li Yang knew that it was much closer to simply getting stronger. A cure from being an entertainment of the Heavens? Yes, he was open to suggestions and looking for answers.

But now he was back and he hoped he could find them here.

Although the answer always seemed to be strength.

Taiga sat up from her chair. "Did you say cure? Are you sick, Bossman?" 

"No—"

Something exploded below them—but right before Li Yang or Taiga could do anything in response to it. Bai Minghua raised a hand. "If it's actually important enough to pay attention to, the alarms would sound. All in all, Miss… Tiger?"

"It's Taiga."

"You don't have to worry about it at all, I have it covered," Bai Minghua said. She was delaying whatever was afflicting Li Yang by being with him, right? There was the promise of power that made her consider it when he first pitched this… but at this point, she was just genuinely concerned about his state.

Although as far as she could see, he didn't need her concern at all.

Li Yang seemed to be surrounded by enough people—except they had no clue at all.

The Divine Wish Drink's floors now held a small container—the young woman didn't seem to have held back her strength properly. Regardless, Ning Bi scowled and simply made her way out of the hole and took out her phone.

Ignoring the stares on her back, she started her way back to the entrance of the bar. She was waiting for her friend to arrive—and it was her friend who decided to invite her, but she arrived here first—what was taking her so long?

Finally, she saw the older woman in the back of the line.

Glancing at the two bodyguards, she cleared her throat. "So you see my lovely friend at the back? She's the owner of Heavenly Jade Pavilion—and I'm already here, so can you let her in now? I'll vouch for her."

"She seems kinda old for partying."

"We have people who are centuries old here—and you really say that?" Ning Bi glowered at the goat-man.

"Kidding. Excuse me, Miss—the VIP at the back!" 

The people reluctantly parted ways as a woman strolled up to the front of the waiting line. Compared to the others dressed for clubbing or an evening of festivities, the woman was dressed plainly as if she just stepped outside of her home.

Bo Lifen sighed and crossed her arms. "You really didn't have to do that, Ning Bi." 

"Hey, you were the one who wanted to have fun and make plans—so did you take too much time in preparing and dressing up?" 

"No, I was deciding if I should have made an excuse and don't come at all." Bo Lifen rubbed her face. "What time is it? Maybe the satyr's right and I'm not up for this stuff anymore."

"Hey, don't listen to that guy and let's just get inside." Ning Bi dragged her older sister-figure into the bar.
