The Psychopath's Harem

Li Nan snorted.

After that, she remembered there was another foreign woman, and her gaze swept across Nyx\'s figure.

The woman in front of her was looking slightly abnormal to her, Li Nan can\'t help but ask. "Who is she?"

"My mother." Xia Tian calmly replied, sending ripples across the former face.

Nyx looked at her with a narrowed gaze, she was warning the girl to not follow after Xia Tian\'s direction.

Li Nan sighed.

It was nearly nighttime already, she has to get her plans moving, unfortunately, she did not know where to begin.

When Li Nan was busy drafting a plan to trap Xia Tian, he pulled a bottle out of nowhere.

Li Nan\'s curiosity perked up after seeing the shiny bottle with translucent liquid inside of it.

The Little fairy panicked.

[Umm, Master?] she asked.

Xia Tian, \'??\'

[... Why are you pouring the god-killing poison in the glass, do you plan to kill this woman?] The fairy asked.

Xia Tian frowned. \'Why would I kill her?\' he said in his mind while handing over one glass to Nyx and keeping one to himself, the bottle in his hand then disappeared.

The little fairy was yet again shocked when she saw Nyx drinking the god-killing poison.

\'Damn!\' she cursed, seeing her actions Luo Xue sighed, she wasn\'t much worried about the woman\'s survival but her master needs to survive.

The fairy estimated it is some sort of hidden plan of her master to eliminate this woman, but all her thoughts were crushed when Xia Tian brought another glass to his face.

[No! Master, don\'t!] her panicked voice sounded in his mind, to whom he gave no heed.

The fairy nearly cried when the poison touched his lips, \'I-I will die like this? Heavens will laugh at me if they realize my master died due to suicide....uuu...\'

The fairy was ready to pour her heart out in tears, completely forgetting the fact that Xia Tian possess a primal chaos body.

Another woman who was on the deck felt a lightbulb lid in her mind.

\'He is drinking? Wouldn\'t it make my work easier if he is drunk?\' she thought.

Li Nan had no idea what he was drinking else she wouldn\'t dare to utter such words, she assumed it to be some sort of vine.

"You have more?" she asked.

"Want it?" Xia Tian spoke, while showing her the glass in his hand, Li Nan nodded her head while her deep black eyes stared at him, the former pretended to be lost in her gaze, with a swift motion he waved his hand and another bottle appeared in front of him.

The black ring which symbolized Isabelle shined briefly and disappeared.

This bottle was full unlike the previous bottle, the liquid inside of it though look exactly the same, Xia Tian\'s eyes never left Li Nan\'s figure, as he opened the bottle and poured a glass of wine for her.

Li Nan was stunned for a moment when she saw a glass appearing in front of her.

Immediately she shook her head, \'No way! Did I just lose myself?!\' she muttered in shame, Li Nan was submerged in staring into Xia Tian\'s eyes, she felt intoxicated when she glimpsed into those dazzling eyes, which were as boundless as the universe itself.

Li Nan did not drink immediately but asked. "What will you do with the Ye girl, after you have destroyed her family?"

She asked, her real intention though can\'t be hidden from Xia Tian\'s eyes. She was trying to find a common topic among themselves, and why would somebody do it?

It increases their rapport.

She wanted Xia Tian to lower his guard by accustoming him to herself.

[...Mission Alert!

Li Nan is trying to trick the host!

Successfully deflect the attack, and make the woman taste her own medicine.

Reward: hundred rainbow crystals....]

Xia Tian almost laughed at the system\'s naivety, the system is too slow!

He have already guessed her intentions when the woman approached him, she was avoiding him from the moment they met.

But now all of a sudden, she approaches him... Only a fool will not be suspicious if a person who was avoiding you approaches you all of a sudden.

Though outside Xia Tian kept his composure, he gently smiled.

"What will I do with her? More like what will she do with herself?..." he spoke, to which Li Nan nodded.

She thought Xia Tian will have big plans for Ye Suyin, and the conversation will be dragged on for minutes before she can get what she wants, but nothing was going as she initially anticipated.

She sighed inwardly. \'I have to step up the game.\'

After that, she removed the clip on her hair.

Her jet-black hair slowly fell as it shined with the faint moonlight.

She slowly brought the glass near her lips and sipped.

A sinister smile flashed on Xia Tian\'s face but it disappeared as quickly as it came.

Did she want to seduce him?

Congrats!

Because she is successful!

But will she be able to bear the consequences of her action?

The woman was unaware that she was slowly digging her own grave.

After a moment of silence, Xia Tian chuckled and spoke, "So, you can also behave like a woman!"

Li Nan was visibly angered by his words.

"Why can\'t I?" she retorted and asked.

Xia Tian peeked at her figure for a brief moment, "No, I just thought dressing as a man with those assets is quite a waste." his gaze was focused on her cleavage.

Since she wanted to seduce him, why should he restrain himself?

Li Nan did not reply to him, as for his gaze on her body she pretended to ignore it.

She laughed softly. "Do you want to get me drunk and trick me like that Ye girl?"

Li Nan smiled silently.

Xia Tian became surprised by her words. "How do you know?"

Li Nan was using a clever trick.

She directly put all the blame on Xia Tian himself.

When you pull a risky move of manipulation, where there are chances that you might get exposed, the best way to save yourself is to accuse the other party of doing the same which you are doing.

This will result in two actions.

First, chances are he is not actually manipulating you, then he will try to justify himself, which will completely distract him and throw him off-guard. These are mostly innocent males, who are ticked by women in bars.

Then, another type of males who are actually either trying to manipulate the party who accused them of such manipulation, or are thinking of doing the same.

In this case, the party who accused will get the upper hand in the conversation very easily, it will also help her know the motives of that male so that she can plan how to proceed from there.

It is all based on the simple principle of justification.

The principle of justification is quite easy and can be used in various situations.

Whenever we are accused by someone, we try to justify ourselves and provide our innocence. Sometimes, we even get panicked which serves as a distraction for us.

Women would often date a man for days and all of a sudden go silent. She will accuse the man of cheating on her and being a playboy.

Now, the man would try to justify himself, which will result in the woman having a judge-like role in a relationship, while the man has a defendant-like attitude. Throughout, the relationship the defendant will have to be suppressed in front of the judge in hopes of not angering the judge.

There can be the rare case that the man was actually a playboy, here he will simply block the woman and leave.

So this technique serves as testing the waters for the woman while dating.

[A/N: Maybe you have already heard of it, but I am explaining the logic behind things, that why we act and behave the way we do... So that you can apply this technique the way you want, like how Li Nan applied a different application of this principle right now.

I will give you the tools, how you apply them is up to you.]

It a normal knowledge among the female circle but for males it is so surprising that the first time you tell them, they would be unable to believe their ears that women can be so crafty.

Can\'t blame them, after all, females are more receptive and observant toward nonverbal communication.

Li Nan raised an eyebrow. She was surprised slightly by Xia Tian\'s answer.

Just as she thought, he is terrible.

He even wanted to trick her!

The woman completely ignored the fact that she was not any better than him.

Sigh, cognitive bias, we only see the things which we want to see.

It will be better if he tried to justify himself, but Li Nan knowing his personality already anticipated it.

She knew that even if this man was manipulating her, he won\'t try to hide it and justify himself.

The only thing she wanted was time, the more he get absorbed and distracted the easier would be to get the information out of his mouth.

The woman was unaware that Xia Tian had long disappeared, and appeared behind her.

Li Nan shuddered when a sudden burst of cold air flew past her ear.

"Woman, do you believe, that I need to trick you to force my way on you?"

A sudden pressure assaulted Li Nan making her knees go numb.

*Thud*

*Crack*

She fell directly to the floor, and the wine glass fell from her hand and broke down.

*Cough, cough*

Her face turned pale, as she coughed blood.

The pressure was too much for her to endure, somehow she managed to lift her head, what meet her gaze was Xia Tian who was coldly glaring at her.

His two eyes stared at her like a predator, making her tremble in fear.

Everything was going on right!

But there is one thing, Li Nan anticipated wrong.

She assumed Xia Tian as any other cultivator completely forgetting that the last thing he cares about is a person\'s consent.

If he wanted to fuck her, he would have already done it.

He was playing with her, when you have all the time to play in the world, you would get used to enjoying your food slowly and gradually.

Chew it a bit by bit, making sure that the flavors explode in your mouth.

He was never in a hurry.

Li Nan was regretting her decision.

But suddenly the pressure vanished from above her, making Li Nan frown.

\'What happened?\' she thought and glimpsed towards Xia Tian who was gently smiling as if nothing happened.

Her body involuntary trembled.

Xia Tian extended his hand and helped her stand up to her feet, which further astonished her.

"What happened? Was it all an illusion?" Li Nan can\'t help but think, but then her sight landed on the broken pieces of glass, which confirmed that it was not an illusion.

The things do not end there, Xia Tian\'s next words further surprised her.

"If you just wanted to know something you could have directly asked me ... Why go to these lengths?" he said with a nonchalant attitude, which made Li Nan knit her brows.

She can\'t understand him.

Nonetheless, she pretended to be calm, as she regulated her rouge breathing.

She could have backed down here, but Xia knew she won\'t. Once you start a thing, leaving it mid-way is not easy.

Don\'t feel like going gym? No problem. No need to go.

Just wear your gym shoes, open the door, gently close it and walk ten steps out of your house.

Now, even if you didn\'t want to go earlier, you will still not return back to your house!

We always move forward in life and not back backward.

Li Nan also succumbed to the temptation.

"What do you mean by your earlier words?" she decided to be honest and asked directly.

She knew she had been exposed.

Keeping up faces anymore is useless.

Xia Tian\'s lips curled up listening to her, "The deal is quite simple, you tell me what I want and I will tell you what you want..."

At the same time, he handed another glass of wine to Li Nan, which she gulped without thinking.

She was already feeling her throat dry.

In reality, she was tensed, and whenever a person is tensed, their hunger and thirst increase.

Li Nan fell into contemplation, she was unable to catch the glimpse of a faint smile that flashed on Xia Tian\'s face.

The game results were already decided.

In the end, Li Nan nodded and spoke, "Tell me about your plans against Long Tian."

Xia Tian laughed inwardly. He can\'t understand the reason for her bossy attitude, just because people don\'t say anything to beautiful women due to their looks, many develop a presupposition that they can boss around people as they want.

They develop a mentality, that the whole world is ready to serve them and satisfy their wishes, few dog lickers come and they further boost their over-inflated egos even more.

He smiled, "Not so fast girl, first tell me why you\'re dressed as a man?"

A disgusted expression flashed on Li Nan\'s face.

"I don\'t like people staring at me," she spoke.

Xia Tian shook his head at her words. "You could have just disguised as an ugly-looking woman, it would have served the purpose. So, why did you choose Lin Huan?"

Li Nan frowned.

There are many things that we do daily, without being aware of the reason why we do the things that we do.

Li Nan was the same.

Today, Xia Tian\'s words forced her to go and dig deeper into her choices.

Indeed, she could have done that, but she choose to disguise herself as a man.

Why?

For years it is the same, something which she never thought over.

After a few minutes, she parted her lips letting out a voice of protest.

"Because being a woman is unfair!"
