Villain : I reincarnated as a Prince! Shouldn't I have a Harem?

Witnessing this moment, Chen Lao remembered the day Ashen visited his sect.

Several days before the tournament,

Chen Lao was cultivating while sitting in a lotus position inside his sect Chambers. He was diligent in cultivation even after reaching the King realm. His ambitions were high and he wanted to be the strongest in this world. To look down on everyone from the peak of strength.

*Knock* *Knock*

At this moment, two knocks resounded on his door. He had instructed everyone to not disturb him while cultivating unless it was something absolutely necessary.

He knew that this was something important, hence, he stopped cultivating before getting up and ordering: "Come in!"

As he said this, the door slid open as Chen Lu and accompanying him, a terrifyingly handsome young man entered the chambers.

Chen Lao's eyes shined upon seeing this young man as he welcomed him: "Ashen, what brings you here? Did you realize that joining the Phoenix Feather Sect was a wrong choice and have come to join my sect?" thank-you-for-using-MvLeMpYr

At this moment, Chen Lu intervened: "No Sect Leader, he is here to ask for one request that you promised him."

Chen Lao remembered the promise that he made: "I will have no enmity with you and promise to grant one request from you in the future."

These words surfaced in his mind as he nodded and said: "Yes, I remember my promise. I granted him one request, so what is his request?"

Chen Lu bowed as he answered: "He refused to tell me and wants to tell you himself!"

"Oh, then Chen Lu, you can leave, I'll talk to him alone!"

"Yes, Sect Leader"

Chen Lu left after a small bow, leaving Ashen and Chen Lao alone in the chambers.

"Tell me Ashen, what is your request?" Chen Lao inquired with a smile.

Ashen bowed as he informed of his request: "Sect Leader Chen Lao, I've come across an old inheritance where I received one low Heaven grade skill, but this inheritance extends to another location where I can find the real inheritance.

"The location is the middle layer of the Spirit Beasts Thicket and there is a core formation realm beast guarding the entrance. Therefore, I need your help to enter the inheritance and receive it"

"I don't plan on asking you for free. If I find anything that can be divided, I'll give half to you. Please help me!"

Chen Lao laughed as he agreed: "Hahaha, You don't need to give me anything. Since I promised to fulfill one of your requests, then I shall do it. But... Why didn't you ask your master for help? She could've also helped you!"

Ashen made a reluctant expression before he sighed and replied: "She would force me to share that skill with that Han Yujin. I don't want that and hence, I decided to ask for your help!"

Chen Lao nodded in understanding. Feng Xue was like that.

"Alright then, let's go and get you that inheritance!" Chen Lao said as he ordered Chen Lu to arrange for their departure.

Chen Lao had his own plans in helping Ashen. If Ashen received some high-grade skill, He could simply ask him to let him take a peek and he would be able to remember the skill to replicate it.

Other than that, he could simply let Feng Xue know about this inheritance and when she asks Ashen to share it, he'll offer Ashen to change sects and join his sect, like this he could easily get a genius disciple and a free skill.

If nothing else, he could just express his goodwill to Ashen, maybe Ashen would himself choose to join his sect.

"Get on this flying board, I'll just fly us to the middle layer of the Spirit Beasts Thicket" Chen Lao instructed.

Ashen nodded before getting on the rectangular black board. Chen Lao used his qi energy to make Ashen fly along with him.

After a short while, Chen Lao stopped above the Spirit Beasts Thicket.

He turned towards Ashen as he asked: "Guide me, where is the location"

Ashen pointed to the ground as Chen Lao safely landed Ashen and himself at the spot.

"Is this the location?"

"No, It is just ahead, I thought that the beast might see us if we landed too close. please follow after me"

Chen Lao nodded at his reasoning as he followed him while suppressing his aura as much as possible.

After reaching an open area with no one in sight, Ashen stopped.

"Huh? Why did you stop?" Chen Lao asked with a frown.

"We've reached our destination! *Clap* *Clap*" Ashen said before clapping two times.

As soon as his clap sound resounded, Chen Lao witnessed two men manifest in his line of sight out of nowhere, and soon, their aura also appeared.

As soon as he sensed their aura, his eyes widened in shock: "K-King realm? Both of them?"

Then he noticed both of them coming forward before kneeling in front of Ashen on one knee, greeting him: "This servant greets your royal highness!"

"What? What is going on? Who are they and why are they addressing you as Royal Highness?" Chen Lao asked with a cautious stance, taking back some steps so that he could escape if need be.

"Get up!" Ashen instructed the two king realm experts as they nodded before moving at a terrifyingly fast speed and surrounding Chen Lao.

Ashen then turned to face Chen Lao, keeping distance between him and Chen Lao.

"Sect Leader Chen Lao, till now I've hidden my identity but now the time to reveal my real identity has come. I'm the ninth Prince of this very empire that you live in and my name is Fang Ashen!"

"What??" His pupils shrunk hearing that as his gaze went to the two king realm experts. Now it all made sense to him.

Ashen, at this moment, threw his royal token at him as he said confidently: "I'm sure this will clear all your doubts!"

Chen Lao caught the token with both hands, respectfully before examining it and after he had finished examining the token, he bowed before greeting: "Chen Lao greets the Royal Prince Fang Ashen!"

He didn't kneel because of his cultivation. In the empire, a King realm expert and above were all respected figures, so other than the emperor himself, they were exempt from kneeling in front of any royal family member.

"Your Highness, May I know why did you decide to reveal your identity to me? Is there something I can do for you?" Chen Lao asked respectfully.
