Zhang Yuan's

Initial Step

Immediately after, Zhang Yuan walked away leaving Xueyu Village to head for Ina Town which was 5 days away from Xueyu Village. While passing through the trees in the forest, there was the sound of a woman's scream for help. Zhang who heard the shout slowly approached the source of the voice carefully. From a distance it appears that 2 women who are about 18 years old and older women are surrounded by wolves. The wolf was a tier 2 spirit beast and its strength was comparable to that of a human who was at the 4th layer Body Formation Stage. The power of the 3rd layer would not be able to fight against such a herd of tier 2 wolves.

Therefore, caution became Zhang Yuan's top priority, after all he was no longer a powerful high-level mage at the moment. He slowly approached the bushes and began to peek to make sure things were right.

Although he was not their opponent, Zhang Yuan had a lot of battle experience in his past life. The herd looked like it was going to prey on the two women.

“No, go and do not approach us. please!” Said one of the women.

Soon after, the wolves approached and attempted to pounce on the two women. Zhang Yuan who saw from a distance immediately ran “The First Technique of the Demon Shadow: Black” Mist

A sinister shadow emerged from Zhang Yuan's back and the shadow turned into a black mist that blocked the view of the wolf pack. Zhang Yuan hurriedly pulled the two women away from there. After running for so long they finally managed to escape from the wolf pack. With breath they rested.

“Are you okay?.” Zhang Yuan said as he looked at them.

“Thank you so much sir, we're okay” said the two women while looking down.

“You can call me Zhang Yuan.” Zhang Yuan said.

“My name is Xiao Ying, just call me Ying’er and this is my aunt Xiao Die.” The two women introduced themselves.

Zhang Yuan looked a little shocked, he thought that they were brothers. How not, Xiao Die looked young with a tight complexion.

Ying’er who saw Zhang Yuan's shocked face and asked “What's the lord?”

Immediately after, Zhang Yuan shook his head and said “It's okay, it's just that I thought at first you guys were brothers. Miss Xiao Die still looked young and beautiful” Zhang Yuan's words and smile made Xiao Die's cheeks flushed with embarrassment.

“This master is very good at praising” said Xiao Die who looked embarrassed.

“If you may know, why are these two ladies in the middle of the forest?” ask Zhang Yuan.

Afterwards, the two women explained why they were in the forest. It turned out that they were currently searching for the tier 2 medicinal herb Ganji plant to make a pill that an Alchemist had ordered to them in order to cure the illness that Ying’er was suffering from.

Zhang Yuan who looked astonished because he saw Ying’er was fine asking “If you may know, what disease is suffered by you?” Zhang Yuan looked at Ying’er.

“He always felt pain every night of the full moon and his heart was like being pierced by a needle” Xiao Die said while looking down miserably.

Based on Zhang Yuan's knowledge, Ganji was a medicinal ingredient that had a hallucinatory effect and the person who had it dazed over. Feeling that there was such an oddity, Zhang Yuan could tell what the aim of the Alchemist was.

“Ganji is a level 2 medicinal ingredient that is very difficult to obtain. This medicinal ingredient grew in the depths of the forest and there were Spirit beasts protecting it. Just with the two of you, it will be very difficult to obtain it, are you planning to commit suicide?” zhang Yuan said.

“We have no other choice sir, this is all we can do. We have no one else to rely on” said Ying’er who looked down and shed tears.

“Master, I know you're strong. Can you help us get this medicine. I.. I will do whatever you want to help us” Xiao Die said with sparkling eyes.

Seeing that determination, Zhang Yuan thought for a moment and said “Is what you said true? Are you sure you'll do anything? Then what will you give me in return?” Zhang Yuan looked at Xiao Die's face.

Xiao Die knew what Zhang Yuan was thinking. But he had no other choice and he said “Iya, I will obey all your will. Even if you don't mind I will give my loyalty to you as your servant.” Xiao Die said solemnly.

Hearing what her aunt said just now, Ying’er immediately said “Don't aunt, let me be her servant. In any case this is my illness, so I have to pay for it” Ying’er said with eyes full of confidence.

In this world if it did not have strength then it would be quickly knocked out by the strong. Only the strong survive. Therefore most people will submit and follow the strong for the sake of a peaceful life.

After hearing the words of both of them. Zhang Yuan smiled, a flash of light flashed through his eyes and he said “Alright, I accept your loyalty and actually being a servant is not suitable for beautiful women like you. What if you two just become my women?” zhang Yuan asked as he embraced the two women.

“Ta. but sir, I am old and no longer fit for this” Xiao Die bowed while blushing shyly.

After chatting for a while they finally rushed deeper into the forest to look for Ganji. The sound of birds chirping and the sound of the roar of wild animals rang out along the way. Ying’er and Xiao Die were at the first tier Body Forming Stage. Of course they were frightened, yet they still tried to be convinced and follow Zhang Yuan from behind.

Half a day searching in the depths of the forest, they finally saw from a distance the medicinal ingredients they were looking for close to the river. Seen there was also a level 2 Spirit beast guarding it, it was the Stone Lizard.

“Master how do we take that medicinal ingredient?” ask Ying’er.

“For the time being I will distract him and as soon as the Stone Lizard pursues me, you guys hurry up to pick up the medicinal ingredients” Zhang Yuan said as he slowly approached the place.

It didn't take long for the animal to realize Zhang Yuan's arrival, the Stone Lizard instantly showed an aura of hostility to him. Zhang Yuan saw the area around “The First Technique of the Demon Shadow :Black” Mist. Immediately a terrifying shadow shot out from Zhang Yuan's back and spread a black mist blocking the sight of the Spirit beast.

The Batu lizard is an animal that relies on its smell. However, Zhang Yuan didn't know about it, it didn't take long for the animal to know Zhang Yuan's position. Immediately the animal gave chase and was about to pounce on Zhang Yuan. To his surprise the response was too late and as a result Biawak Batu managed to launch a scratch that injured Zhang Yuan's thigh.

“Argggh..” Zhang Yuan groans while holding his wound.

“Basic Animals!” Zhang Yuan instantly launched his fist towards the Biawak Stone. But the lizard managed to dodge with its speed.

The Batu lizard quickly targeted the injured leg of Zhang Yuan. Mistakes will not happen a second time. Zhang Yuan swiftly dodged and stayed away from the Batu Lizard. Ying’er and Xiao Die who were watching from a distance were worried towards Zhang Yuan. But there was nothing they could do, currently according to Zhang Yuan's orders. They must take the drug.

The fight between Zhang Yuan and the Batu Lizard was long-lasting. He realized that the longer this fight goes, then he will be at a disadvantage. Without a second thought Zhang Yuan lured the Stone Lizard away from the medicinal ingredients of Ganji. Ying’er and Xiao Die who saw the coming opportunity immediately ran to retrieve the medicinal ingredients.

Zhang Yuan who saw from a distance that his two women had already obtained the medicinal ingredients immediately took out his Demon Shadow Technique again and made the sight of the Stone Lizard blur. Zhang Yuan quickly ran over to Ying’er and Xiao Die. However, the Stone Lizard did not stay silent, it smelled Zhang Yuan to detect its location.

Arriving in front of the two women, Zhang Yuan picked up the two women and said “Second Technique of Demon Shadow : Step Shadow.” This technique made Zhang Yuan's body lighter and could run quickly away from the Stone Lizard. Due to some tricks made by Zhang Yuan, when the animal was about to pounce on him it turned out that the Stone Lizard was deceived and the one that was pounced on was only Zhang Yuan's shadow.

Knowing he was tricked by humans, the Batu Lizard roars loudly making the birds fly in fear. Now they had managed to get away from the animal and they were resting under a big tree. Zhang Yuan's thigh was injured by the scratch of the Batu Lizard, fortunately the wound was not too deep.

“Your master is okay?” tanya worriedly Ying’er and Xiao Die with teary eyes. In their minds, Zhang Yuan was a benevolent hero who was willing to sacrifice to take the medicinal ingredients.

Though Zhang Yuan was deliberately injured to take the sympathy of the two women “Hehehe.. In this way they would definitely feel very indebted to me.” Inner Zhang Yuan.

Then Zhang Yuan took out a wound covering medicine from his spatial ring. The medicine he got from the corpses of the people of Xueyu Village. After bandaging his wounds, they immediately went to find a place to camp. This was done because the distance to get from their location to Ina City took 2 days.

Night came, a small bonfire as a light in the darkness of the night in their midst and surrounded it to warm the body. The sounds of small animals and insects gave a creepy atmosphere.

Zhang Yuan who saw Ying’er and Xiao Die who looked tired and sad said “Besok morning we will continue the journey, for now we should rest”.

“Sorry to us, because we are dragging you to our interests. Now you are injured” Xiao Die said sadly.

“There is no need to apologize, now I am happy because I can have two beautiful women and attention” said Zhang Yuan with a seductive tone.

Ying’er and Xiao Die's cheeks flushed red and they blushed in embarrassment, immediately they with the initiative approached Zhang Yuan and leaned on him. Zhang Yuan who was currently powerless to hold back his happiness said “Before the break, then, it would be nice if we get to know each other further” Zhang Yuan said with flushed cheeks and tried indifferently.

“Hihihi.. do whatever you want, we will gladly follow your orders” Xiao Die said with a chuckle.

These two women were no longer thinking about the relationship between them. There is only a sense of security and comfort because they already have someone as a place to depend. Zhang Yuan was already powerless to endure his happiness. He hugged both women.

Before reincarnating, Zhang Yuan also had a wife and a child. But because the accusations given by the Kingdom made his wife and child commit suicide, they could not withstand the humiliation.

On the other hand, Zhang Yuan was currently moved to finally have someone who loved him. He was determined to always take care and make these two women happy. Maybe he even thought to build the Harem Kingdom so that he would always be happy.

The night grew darker and the once-great bonfire slowly began to shrink, thinking of the increasingly pitch-black situation Zhang Yuan finally invited these two women to rest.
