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

"SHUT IT!" Feng Xue's powerful voice reverberated in everyone's ears as the powerful aura of King Realm gushed out of her, violently throwing away the old man.

The old man cowered in fear with wide eyes as he looked at Feng Xue's powerful persona.

"S-She is a King Realm expert?"

He was dumbfounded out of his mind before he stabilized himself and knelt in front of her.

"Oh Powerful cultivator, please help us. That Bastard Jotu was forcing me to commit such an inhumane crime of sacrificing a lady! You have to save us innocent, weak people. We can only rely on you, oh ever-powerful king realm cultivator!"

"Everyone! Now we are saved! We have a King Realm Expert protecting us, quickly thank her!"

The Old man began to sing praises of her, changing his demeanor in the blink of an eye.

Everybody, hearing his word, knelt down and began to yell:

"Please help us, oh great Expert!"

"Please help us, oh great Expert!"

"Please help us, oh great Expert!"

Feng Xue was surprised to see this sudden change.

Just a few seconds ago, they all wanted to sacrifice her to these bandits for the sake of saving themselves, however, now that they've found out that she was a king realm expert, they began to act helpless and weak as if they weren't the same people who were alright with sacrificing her.

She hated these hypocrites and wanted to simply slit their viper throats, especially that old man's.

However, she knew that she had to first focus on the bandits. They were the ones that needed her attention.

When she looked around, her eyes widened to find out that the bandits had already left and were running for their lives.

Ashen had also vanished, however, she knew that he had gone after their leader.

She closed her eyes to sense the various lifeforms around her.

She cultivated the fire path and thus after attaining mastery in that path, she had a skill that could let her sense the heat emanating from various lifeforms.

Also, cultivators below the core-formation realm couldn't control the heat emanating from them.

She could sense multiple lifeforms traveling at a very high speed away from her and she knew who they were.

Wheels of Fire!

She raised her hands, palms facing the sky as wheels of fire appeared on top of her palm, rotating rapidly, throwing amber due to their speed.

Flying in the air, she launched these wheels in the direction of these escaping bandits.

For anyone below the core-formation realm, these wheels were like a death sentence, impossible to escape from.

"Ahhhhhh!" Screams filled with fear and pain began resounding from different directions, indicating that these bandits had been struck by those wheels.

Anyone struck would be instantly engulfed in flames due to the fire qi, which low-level cultivators could never withstand.

These screams made everyone present cower in fear of Feng Xue's strength. She wasn't even seeing them and could kill the bandits this easily.

She was killing with closed eyes and didn't even need to chase those bandits. This was proof enough of her strength.

The old man and others on the carriage could only look at her with awe and hope that she wouldn't take revenge on them for their previous misconduct.

Meanwhile, on Ashen's side,

"P-Please let me go! I beg of you!" Jotu begged in front of Ashen with only one hand and leg intact.

It didn't even take a second for Ashen to cut Jotu's right arm and leg.

"Have you ever let go of anyone just because they begged you? How many women must've suffered due to you, you never thought about letting them go... So why should I?"

Ashen asked with a calm expression while looking at him with curiosity.

"NO! I never raped any woman! I have a wife and two sons. They are waiting for me at home! I promise to never do any of this again. I'll do farming from now on!

Please let me go..."

Jotu's eyes leaked tears as he begged as sincerely as he could.

"Oh, You never raped a woman? Then why were demanding women from that carriage? What was the purpose?" Ashen asked with a raised eyebrow.

Jotu hesitated for a second before answering sincerely: "Those were not my demands. I only needed goods for my family's survival, but the other bandits under me were unmarried men. They rape women and if I don't provide them with women, then they could eye my wife and could commit something unthinkable while I am away! I had no choice..."

He wept as he explained his horrible situation.

"Hmm... Well bad luck dude, I'm not the one who will judge you, but that girl that you demanded. As for your sons and wife, their safety will be in a pinch. I can only help you safeguard their safety, what do you say?"

Jotu looked up at Ashen with gratitude-filled eyes as he nodded in a hurry: "Yes, Please just safeguard my family. They are innocent and they don't know anything about me doing this! I'll forever be grateful if you can do that!"

Due to Jotu's occupation, he had many enemies and once he was gone, his family would be targeted and that was his biggest worry. Ashen's offer to safeguard them was like water to the thirsty!

"Alright then tell me the location of your family, I'll need to relocate them to guarantee their safety!"

Jotu nodded as he told the location of his family. It wasn't far from their current location and hence Ashen reached there in the blink of an eye.

It was a small house with a large courtyard and farms around it. Ashen noticed a woman drying the washed-up clothes and two men carrying out farming chores.

Ashen informed them of Jotu's death and why he was here. As proof, he showed Jotu's knife. Jotu's wife collapsed instantly due to the sudden news while the two sons were better at taking the news.

"There is still time. If you want to witness the last moments of your father, I can take you to him!" Ashen offered to the two sons.

"Really??" The two sons showed their shock as they instantly nodded in agreement.

"Alright then, stand close to me!" Ashen instructed.

The sons, after getting their mother on the bed, left with Ashen.

In the blink of an eye, they were on the cliff from where they could see the carriage.

They hid behind a rock as they observed the scene in front.

In the center of the carriage was their father with only one arm and leg, lying helplessly infront of a woman with Patriarch Purple hair.

He was being protected by a silver barrier before the barrier suddenly vanished as soon as those sons laid eyes on their father.

"Looks like this is it..." Jotu murmured upon witnessing the barrier's dissipation as he turned his gaze towards the rock from where his sons were peeping at him.

He gave them a smile before looking at Feng Xue as he said weakly: "I'm ready!"
