Steadily walking outside the portal, Shen Qingqiu was greeted with a magnificent castle.

A magnificent castle my ass!

(A/N It's magnificent.)

Shen Qingqiu could only take miniature steps forward as he cautiously looked around for an escape route.

"....." Attentively looking down to see his Shizun taking measures to escape, "Luo Binghe's" eyes darkened. Awakening the heavenly demon blood within his Shizun, with skilled control, let it run slightly wild inside his body.

Feeling an uncomfortable feeling in his stomach, as if there was something moving around in his blood, Shen Qingqiu frowned and glared at the culprit. Wanting to curse but not in the position to, he could only endure.

A glorious line of demonic beings and cultivators all bowed their heads as they pronounced the arrival of their lord. Being pushed further inside the castle, Shen Qingqiu dreaded the scenery.

The long corridor, met with a large linear carpet and a throne in the centre.... this was where the original Shen Qingqiu was turned into a human stick!! His heartbeat was starting to speed up, with his body slowly shaking. The usual elegant presence he upheld slowly deteriorated the more conflicted his feelings became. Even though Shen Qingqiu's slight shaking was pressed against his captor's palms, not once did "Luo Binghe" let go of him.

The man behind him strode confidently and with great pride. On either sides of the throne was a display of beautiful and charming women seductively glancing at these two men, one tied up whilst their lord was leading him. The whispers and scornful gazed directed to Shen Qingqiu made him shiver from the inside.

"There's no need to be so nervous, Shizun~" The dangerously low voice rang into his ears.

This made Shen Qingqiu profusely sweat even more. With the ladies glaring at him with daggers and the person behind him eyeing him like prey, he couldn't help but gulp. Biting his bottom lip and clenching his fists, Shen Qingqiu took a breath and calmed himself. His poised standing, calm gaze and fluttering eyelashes as he looked down added to his natural charm. Accompanied with Shen Qingqiu's looks, he did not lose to the members of "Luo Binghe's" harem.

The cold faced Shen Qingqiu stood still as he stared at what was in front of him. Glaring down at him from a higher ground, Sha Hualing with her bold and revealing attire looked down at him as if he was a bug. Many other women seemed to silently examine him, out of either interest, disgust or confusion.

As if facing all of the judgements, Shen Qingqiu stood poised and tall.

However internally-

sh*t! Why is she looking at me like that! This old man is not here! Not here!

Not heeding to his request, Sha Hualing stepped up. Alluringly touching "Luo Binghe's" arm, she pressed herself onto him as she questioned,

"My Lord, who is this? Did you bring another toy?" Chuckling at the sight of an inferior being, she charmingly smiled at "Luo Binghe" but then frowned at Shen Qingqiu, "I thought we already disposed of him."

Smirking back, "Luo Binghe" responded,

"Indeed, I brought Shizun here, as my new toy."

Seeing the two scheming figures exchanging blackened words that brought a sense of danger to himself, Shen Qingqiu was presently screaming internally.

AAAAH I CANT DO THIS, how to get out of here! Luo Binghe, ah Luo Binghe, where is my little Bing-mei! This Shizun needs my little sheep!

All the women started to hoard "Luo Binghe" as they fought for his affection. He could already name a few of them - Ning Yingying, the little palace mistress from the Huan Hua palace, and many more.

With his throughs drifting off in counting the number of women by "Luo Binghe's" side, Shen Qingqiu drifted back to reality.

Wait- I feel like I'm forgetting something-

After some thought, he remembered his cheat ability.

SYSTEM!

Shouting telepathically, Shen Qingqiu waited for a few minutes.

No answer.

The silence in the hall continued until Shen Qingqiu realised he was currently sitting on "Luo Binghe's" lap. With everyone's sharp eyes locked into him, Shen Qingqiu could only stiffen in his embrace. With all the women scattered around him, Shen Qingqiu could feel all the jealousy and building hatred that was being thrown at his way.

Within "Luo Binghe's" Demonic Base, everyone regraded Shen Qingqiu as their lord's teacher who was their nemesis and had already been shredded to death. However now that the exact same face reappeared, what's worse on the king's lap, the tension in the room took a large uprise.

After struggling to move himself free from his position, a familiar 'ding-!' chimed out of nowhere.

[System is currently experiencing problems]

Upon hearing a familiar voice, Shen Qingqiu let out a cry of joy within his heart. But before being able to ask anything, a robotic voice ringed inside his head.

[You have been transported. Due to the unknown interference, system shall go under maintenance.]

Hang on!! At least give me some help-

[System is currently unavailable.]

System-

[System is currently unavailable.]

With a blank screen that had [System is currently unavailable.] plastered with large words, Shen Qingqiu was panicking even further.

YOU DAMN SYSTEM!!!

A pitiful cry echoed across Shen Qingqiu's brain.

After the conference in labelling Shen Qingqiu as the palace lord's 'guest', he was brought into a room that was unfortunately right next to "Luo Binghe's" bedroom.

Although he was treated well, he was afraid that he drew too much attention. Threat notes and warnings were already making its way into Shen Qingqiu's supposed-to-be-peaceful-life.

During the nighttime, he was forced to listen to the moaning and fierce sexual activities that was happening in the place next door. Opting to go out to get some fresh air, Shen Qingqiu was about to step out when the demonic blood inside his body acted up again, rendering his legs useless.

On top of having his spiritual powers sealed, he couldn't leave the room?!?

Bullsh*t!!!

Until all of the sounds died down, the sun was already rising brightly in contrast to the irritated expression on Shen Qingqiu's face.

Leaning against the door frame, "Luo Binghe" with his robes loosely wrapped around his body appeared in front of Shen Qingqiu. The smooth, pure skin with some remains of what seems to be love bites and many other (cough) scars was in open view to Shen Qingqiu.

These chapters are the kind of build-up for the feelings to develop between the original Luo Binghe and SSQ, so I hope it won't disinterest my precious readers too much.

I believe that Bing-ge would not immediately fall for SSQ, and so I would like to slowly(not so slowly) get there.

Thank you for all your support, comments and votes, even silent readers, thank you for reading!!!

I am planning to add some action, twists and some *cough* in the future.
