Endless Transmigration: These Shitty Lives are Killing Me

Chapter 11: Am I the Harem Protagonist now?

--- Chapter 11 ---

On the balcony, Yafei sat on Baek Ain's lap while resting her head on his chest. They are staring at the bright atmosphere of Wu Tan City calmly and enjoying the moment.

"So, what's your relationship now?" Yafei suddenly asked. She never expected something like this to be true.

More than two months ago, a scrawny-looking kid discovered her panties in the garden, and now he even kissed her. Their relationship grew somewhat bizarrely as she became more fond of him.

The more Yafei opened herself to him, the more freedom she felt after managing her family business for years.

However, that's what makes it unique and special.

'Ain also changed a lot...' Yafei's blue eyes blinked. Even though Baek Ain isn't the most handsome young man in this world, his appearance is still on the top echelon with that mysterious aura he gives off. It's hard not to notice him.

And so, She falls in love with someone six years younger than her.

Also, Yafei's heart and stomach flutter when she remembers anything related to him. She thought it was an illness at first, but then some ladies in the Auction House told her it was the lovesickness of a maiden.

Not to mention a tight grip on her heart, which makes her excessively panicked and anxious when knowing Baek Ain gets ambushed by the 3rd Rank Magical Beast.

The report conveyed Baek Ain almost lost his life, and Yafei had never felt so devastated.

Meanwhile, Baek Ain tried his best to play it cool. The only woman he is close with is his mother from his previous life.

He recalled her advice and grabbed Yafei's shoulder gently, pulling her more into him. "You're my girlfriend." He said calmly.

"Girlfriend?"

"Yes, It's a term for female partners in my homeland."

"As for me, I'm your boyfriend."

"And As we become closer, I'll come to your house, propose, and become your fiance or husband." Baek Ain confidently added, which made Yafei's cheek redden.

Yafei fumbled with her fingers and mumbled, "H-Husband."

Baek Ain took a deep breath and continued, "I know my current strength isn't enough to impress you and your family but trust me. Soon, I'll become stronger."

"I will be more than qualified to be your partner."

A giggle escaped Yafei's mouth as she kissed him this time. "Dummy, you're more than qualified in my eyes."

"I shall take that as a compliment, Young Lady Fei~!"

"Hmm, accept my compliment to your heart, young warrior~!"

"Pfft, hahaha..."

The night soon was filled with their hearty laughter.

...

...

Baek Ain slumped on his bed and rolled around in disbelief. He actually got a girlfriend in this world.

[Congratulation, host]

"..." Baek Ain gave the system panel a foul gaze.

[I did what's necessary for your growth]

"Yeah..."

"That sudden quest is dirty, though."

With a smile, Baek Ain opened his mouth and said, "Fuck you, Alicia."

[You're welcome, host]

[Do you want to check your reward?]

"What reward? Oh, random skill."

"Sure, give me a useful skill, Cia."

[It's random...]

"I know." Baek Ain responded while lying on the bed comfortably. After sleeping, he would return to top condition quickly and start a new training plan.

[...]

[Ding! You have received Hover(E)]

[Name: Hover]

[Type: Active Skill]

[Description: Hover in the air for 3 seconds]

"This skill..."

"I could abuse it with Hyper Jump." Baek Ain pondered while thinking about something. It's a shame Hover(E) couldn't be synthesized yet because its low grade.

Baek Ain must train Hover to C+ or B Grade to synthesize it with Hyper Jump. And Fusing it now would lead to skill failure.

"Well, that's for tomorrow."

"I'll use "Breathing." while sleeping from now on. Wake me if something dangerous happens, Cia."

[Good night, host]

As Baek Ain fell asleep, Lan Rou returned to the Yafei's office and faced her directly. Yafei expected the instructor of her lover to be around soon and smiled inside.

'She really cared for Ain, huh?' Yafei thought while looking at the woman known as Gale Demoness.

"Do you need something, Lan Rou?"

Lan Rou stood before Yafei calmly and replied, "Please don't lessen my punishment. I deserved every single one of it because of my curiosity."

Yafei sighed and returned, "Well, demoting your rank is a negligible punishment."

"However, I do so because you could protect him 24/7. Your job is to be his bodyguard from now on."

"As for the pill, you don't have to worry. Even though it was an expensive investment, everything Baek Ain used when training under the Miteer Family was "immediately." paid for by me."

"His growth is monstrous. I can't disappoint him, no?"

"Now go, protect him from the shadow."

"Don't make me think twice and cut another year of your salary."

Lan Rou bent her body and said, "Thank you, my lady."

"Say that to Ain." Yafei smiled while thinking about her first kiss.

Lan Rou was about to leave the room, and Yafei suddenly remembered a question she forgot to ask. "Wait, Lan Rou." The lady of the Miteer Family stopped the silver-haired assassin.

"Yes?"

"You... Do you have feelings for Ain?"

"W-What! I-I..."

The woman called Gale Damoness blushed and panicked when facing such a question, which gives enough clues for Yafei.

'Welp, I never said anything about being monogamous...' Yafei giggled helplessly because her boyfriend's charm was incredible. She had no problem with Baek Ain having multiple lovers because this world works based on how powerful you are, so Baek Ain has to earn it.

She shook her head gently and commented, "Make your choice, Lan Rou. Baek Ain's life will soon be filled with women."

"I won't forbid you from getting closer to him, but remember that I'm The First Lady..."

Dismissing Lan Rou, Yafei rested her head on the office chair and glanced at the night sky calmly. "It's going to be interesting."

"Ain, I can't wait to see how amazing you can be in the future."

...

...

The next day.

In the morning, and the sun isn't even up, Baek Ain has already jumped from his bed and gone to the training ground. He stretched his body and felt refreshed.

It started with ten sets of 100 pushups, 100 sit-ups, 100 air squats, and a 10-km run. Baek Ain thoroughly used passive meditation with the Breathing Skill, absorbing the surrounding Dou Qi.

After that, Baek Ain's entire body was "literally." soaked with sweat, but he didn't feel tired.

[Sixth Sense]

[Lightning Impulse]

Baek Ain turned around and grabbed Lan Rou's hand, she was about to pat his head, but he caught her instinctively.

"Ain, you... Did you sense me already? How amazing." Lan Rou was surprised because her disciple grew at such a ridiculous rate.

Baek Ain faked a cough and replied, "I'm still far below you, instructor."

Lan Rou stared at Baek Ain with a deadpan look and thought, 'Less than 100 people in this empire could sense my presence. I might weaken it for your level, but this improvement speed is insane.'

'Make my choice, huh?' She recalled Yafei's words last night.

Baek Ain proposed a light spar, and Lan Rou agreed. They walked to the edge of the training ground and stared at each other calmly.

Lan Rou waited for Baek Ain to make his move and soon saw several darts flying. She swayed her head to the left and dodged them effortlessly, seeing her disciple take a step forward.

She was amused and kicked the floor, preparing her leg to kick him.

"Got you." Baek Ain used Hyper Jump and appeared above Lan Rou's head.

"Nope." Lan Rou tip-toed and sent a high kick to his stomach, expecting him to fall soon. Being in the air makes one vulnerable, especially for people below Dou King Realm.

Of course, there are exceptions, like people who cultivated the Flying Dou Technique.

And Lan Rou knew Baek Ain didn't learn Flying Dou Technique. It was a mistake.

"Eh?"

Baek Ain floated in the air, leaving her speechless.

As Lan Rou's kick missed, Baek Ain used Hyper Jump in the air without any platform and smacked her to the floor.

SWOOSH! BAM!

Lan Rou coughed because of the dust and saw Baek Ain resting his head on her chest. He holds her hands on the back, sealing them from usage while hugging her simultaneously.

"It's my win." A cheeky smile appeared on Baek Ain's face.

Lan Rou smiled and whispered, "Seriously, you..."

"Why do you have to be this amazing, Ain."

"I can't help but grow fond of you, you know?"

Using her superior cultivation and strength, Lan Rou pushed Baek Ain to the floor and sat on his stomach. Her breathing becomes huskier than usual.

"Teacher, I like you." He said with such conviction.

"I-I like you too." Lan Rou answered while lowering her head and kissing his lips.

And the training ground filled with soppy wet smooching noise.

[Ding! As you have taken Lan Rou's first kiss]

[You have gained a new achievement: Lucky Bastard]

[Rewarding Nirvana Touch(F)]

'Am I the harem protagonist now?'
