In the fantasy world, all the people I met were beauties.

When Li Zimo stepped into Yue Qiangwei's mansion, he couldn't help but secretly admire the luxury and exquisiteness of the mansion.

When the Bishuiyun Guards in front of the courtyard gate saw him, they immediately saluted and saluted. Their rigorous yet polite attitude made people feel a majesty that should not be underestimated.

After passing through the front yard, Li Zimo and his group stepped into a carefully arranged garden.

Pavilions and towers are scattered around in an orderly manner, rockery and lakes complement each other, trees are lush and flowers are fragrant, it feels like stepping into a paradise.

However, beneath this beautiful scenery lies unknown secrets and sorrows.

When we arrived at the backyard, we saw several exquisite rooms heavily guarded, and the atmosphere seemed particularly heavy.

Li Zimo signaled his entourage to stop, and he slowly walked towards where the imprisoned women were.

Yue Qiangwei's two wives - Huang Wanrong and Xu Qinglan.

and six concubines - Jiang Rushuang, Fang Menghan, Ren Jingxuan, Zhao Siqi, Pei Wanying, and Bao Mengdie.

And his two twin sisters, Yue Qinglian and Yue Qingyi, are currently being housed here.

There was fear and reluctance in their eyes, but more of it was confusion and helplessness about the future.

Each of these women possesses stunning beauty and graceful figures, and is in no way inferior to Liu Yunshang and Zhao Meiyue.

Their skin appears exceptionally fair and tender due to the nourishment of their martial arts spirit, and their figures appear even more enchanting and graceful due to their practice, as if every line of their body contains endless power and beauty.

Li Zimo's eyes swept over them one by one, and a complex emotion surged in his heart.

He knew very well that these women were innocent and were just victims of Yue Qiangwei's fall.

In this world where the strong prey on the weak, if he doesn't accept it, someone else will. Why should he pretend to be Liu Xiahui?

"Ladies and ladies,"

Li Zimo's calm voice broke the silence in the backyard.

"My name is Li Zimo, and I killed Yue Qiangwei."

"But you all know what kind of person Yue Qiangwei is."

"He brought this upon himself and deserved it."

"I know you are filled with resentment towards me right now, but please remember that in this world, the strong are respected, and the incompetent can only endure."

"If you don't have the strength, you have to hide from me no matter how much you hate me."

As Li Zimo finished speaking, the women all looked up at the same time, their eyes filled with complex emotions.

Yue Qiangwei's wife and sister glared at Li Zimo with resentment. If looks could kill, he might have died countless times.

And those concubines were even more frightened by his majesty. They trembled and dared not look directly into Li Zimo's sharp eyes.

Li Zimo smiled slightly and said coldly:

"Line up and come to me one by one!"

Li Zimo's orders cannot be resisted.

Under his stern gaze, the concubines had to suppress the fear in their hearts, slowly lined up in a row, and walked towards him one by one.

Although their steps seemed heavy, they also revealed a kind of helpless obedience.

Li Zimo sighed lightly, then used the essence of the Dark Night Secret Art to engrave an invisible soul contract into their souls.

This contract is both a constraint and a protection. It ensures that these women cannot go against his will in the future, and also prevents them from committing suicide and harming other women in the family.

Huang Wanrong, Xu Qinglan, Yue Qinglian and Yue Qingyi still looked ready to die and had no intention of coming over.

Li Zimo's lips curled up into a sneer, that smile showed both helplessness and determination.

He didn't say anything more, but stood up directly, and his figure shuttled between the four women like a ghost, grabbing them one by one and bringing them in front of him.

Amid the four women's astonished and struggling gazes, Li Zimo unhesitatingly performed the Dark Night Secret Technique, deeply imprinting the soul contract into their spirits.

Although this process was short, it was enough to make them feel unprecedented shock and powerlessness.

When the contract was completed, the four women's eyes were filled with resentment and unwillingness, but their bodies involuntarily obeyed Li Zimo's orders and stood obediently in front of him.

Their eyes revealed complex emotions, including hatred for Li Zimo and helpless acceptance of their own fate.

At this moment, ten women were lined up in the backyard. Their beauty varied, but they were all gathered here because of the same fate.

Li Zimo looked at this scene and couldn't help but smile, but that smile concealed deep complexity and heaviness.

In this world where the strong are respected, it is much better for them to follow me than to become prisoners and playthings in the hands of others.

Li Zimo gently pulled Liu Yunshang and Zhao Meiyue closer to him and held them tenderly in his arms.

A trace of fear flashed in Liu Yunshang and Zhao Meiyue's eyes, and their bodies trembled slightly unconsciously, but Li Zimo's smile was like a spring breeze, instantly soothing their anxiety.

"Don't be afraid, I'm just trying to shock them. My words are harsh, but they're true."

"As for them, even if I don't take them in, they can't escape the fate of becoming someone else's playthings."

"And the soul contract is just a line of defense I set up to protect you. After all, they are bound to have resentment in their hearts, and I am afraid that they will hurt you."

Listening to Li Zimo's words full of warmth and responsibility, smiles gradually appeared on Liu Yunshang and Zhao Meiyue's faces. They responded gently:

"Sir, we understand. We have wronged you."

Li Zimo pecked their cheeks lovingly and said softly:

"Remember, no matter how the world changes, my love and protection for you will never change."

The two girls snuggled up to his chest and whispered:

"Yeah, we get it."

Then, Li Zimo turned to the ten women, his tone calm but with unquestionable majesty:

"From now on, you will be my maids, and these two will be my two wives—Liu Yunshang and Zhao Meiyue."

Although the women had mixed feelings, their movements were remarkably coordinated. They knelt respectfully on the ground and called out in unison:

"Meet Madam Yunshang, Madam Meiyue."

Liu Yunshang and Zhao Meiyue responded with gentle eyes and said softly:

"Everyone, get up and do your job well from now on. The young master will not treat you unfairly."

The women were filled with gratitude and thanked him repeatedly:

"Mrs. Xie Yunshang, Mrs. Meiyue."

Li Zimo smiled with satisfaction and said to the charming Huang Wanrong:

"Huang Wanrong, you will be the part-time housekeeper. You will be in charge of all matters, big or small, in the mansion and the shop. Everything in the mansion will remain the same, but the signboard will be changed to Xiaoyaoju, understand?"

"Yes, son."

There was resentment and unwillingness in Huang Wanrong's eyes, but she still couldn't help but answer softly.

"It's getting late, you should all go back to your rooms and rest."

"Yes, sir. I'll take my leave."

They supported each other and stood up, respectfully bowed to Li Zimo, Liu Yunshang and Zhao Meiyue, and then slowly left the backyard.
