"I'm going to leave for a while and go back to my hometown."
One morning a dozen days later, Shen Ye announced a piece of news to the girls who were having dinner together in the dining hall.
Hearing what he said, all the girls were stunned and put down their chopsticks at the same time.
"Shen Lang, has something happened at home?" The empress thought of this first and a worried look appeared on her face.
The other women in the dining room were the same as her.
Shen Ye shook his head: "No, I've just been away from home for too long and want to go home to see my parents."
This was half true and half false. Of course he missed his family, but mainly in the past few days he had been thinking about one thing, which was how to settle the Empress and the others after returning to the real world. You know, the new villa he bought in the real world has not been completed yet, and the original house is already very crowded. If he brings them back to reality, with so many people, there will be no place to settle them. Even if he rents a house temporarily, he may not be able to find so many houses next to each other in a short time.
Of course, he also thought about taking only the Empress and the others back to reality, but he was unwilling to leave Luohua Cave Girl and the disciples of Huanyinfang in this world. With more and more women around him, his appetite grew. Even if it was impossible to eat them all, he was unwilling to let go. Even if many women could only stay by his side as vases, that could at least satisfy his collecting habit and they were pleasing to the eyes.
What's more, the world of the Bad Guys is a time of chaos, unlike the world of NieR, which has been completely controlled by him. If he leaves behind the Fallen Flower Cave Girl and the disciples of Huanyinfang, if something happens one day, he will have no place to regret.
Therefore, he decided to go back to reality first, buy a larger manor, then bring some of it back, and finally try his luck to see if he could find a suitable world to settle the women around him. If all else failed, he could settle them in the NieR world first. After all, compared to the real world, the NieR world was relatively safer.
Of course, it's just for safety. There is some mysterious existence in that world that has been watching that place. If it is not absolutely necessary, he really doesn't want to take other humans there.
However, after hearing Shen Ye's words that he just wanted to go back because he missed home, the eyes of the women in the dining hall suddenly lit up.
The empress spoke first: "Since we are going home, why don't you take me with you, Mr. Shen? You have already met my brother, and I also want to meet your parents. At least, as a daughter-in-law, I have to offer a cup of tea to my parents."
Their current relationship is just short of marriage, so it seems normal for them to call each other dad and mom in advance.
The empress's words resonated with several women around her, but they were very dissatisfied with the first half of the empress's words. Which woman here doesn't want to follow Shen Ye home to meet his parents? Why is she only talking about herself?
Even Lu Linxuan, who respected the empress very much, said coldly: "Now Qi has won many battles against foreign enemies and occupied many cities of Liang. As the empress of Qi, I am afraid that you can't get away for the time being, so I'd better let my sister accompany Brother Shen home to see his parents."
The empress was speechless after hearing this. Although her brother, the real Li Maozhen, had returned, Li Maozhen, who had not handled affairs for more than ten years, was inevitably unfamiliar with the management of Qi State. Therefore, many affairs were still handled by her. Moreover, Qi State was her obsession. Even though she loved Shen Ye very much, she was still worried about Qi State.
"Sister Xuan'er is right. Sister Yunji is very busy, so let us help her meet Shen Lang's parents." Qian Wu on the side also spoke up. Now she no longer called Shen Ye Lord Cave God, but called him Shen Lang like the empress.
After hearing what the three women said, Shen Ye did not say anything. His eyes moved back and forth between the women. He was thinking about whether he should let anyone go home this time.
However, thinking of the androids who were still sleeping on the floor, he sighed and thought that even if he wanted to take them, he could only take one or two women back at most.
Although the newly purchased villa is about to be completed, but... I can't bring too many people with me.
But who should I take back with me? Or should I take none of them?
Shen Ye was very conflicted, and he began to think of reasons.
"I will only bring one or two people home with me this time." After thinking for a while, Shen Ye spoke.
Hearing that he would only bring two people at most, the eyes of several women instantly focused on him, full of expectation, especially Nine Heavens Saints and Shi Yao. They were maids, and they were all thinking that even if he didn't bring other people, he would at least bring maids.
Shen Ye first looked at the empress: "Yunji still has to deal with the affairs of Qi State, so I won't take you with me this time."
The empress's expression suddenly became aggrieved, while the other women breathed a sigh of relief because there was one less opponent.
Then Shen Ye continued: "Qianwu, the same goes for you. The Luohua Cave Girl only listens to your and my orders. If you leave, who will take care of them? You should stay."
So Qian Wu also felt aggrieved, and the happy smile on her face also shifted to the faces of the other women.
"Shi Yao and Xuan'er, you stay as well. We still need you to contact Buliangshuai and Brother Li." Shen Ye said to Shi Yao and Lu Linxuan again. The expressions on the two women's faces suddenly froze, and they even maintained their smiles.
Although Shen Ye only eliminated four people in one breath, there were only three women who still had smiles on their faces, Ying Gou and Xian Shen, along with Chi Meng her daughter. As for Nine Heavens Saints... Shi Yao was left behind, so they would naturally be no exception.
But looking at the three of them, Shen Ye thought of another question and one thing.
If he picked one or two of the three of them to go back to reality with him, it seemed unfair to the others. Moreover, he remembered that he had promised Ada that he would take her to meet his parents. If he took them back to reality on the pretext of meeting his parents, it seemed that there would be a conflict.
So, after thinking about it for a while, he made a difficult decision: "Forget it, you guys should stay too."
"Ah?" The three girls were suddenly confused.
"Why? Didn't you just say that you could take one or two of us home with you?" Ying Gou asked dissatisfiedly.
Shen Ye pinched his brows and explained, "Because I want to be fair to you, I plan to take you to meet my parents after I come back."
Ying Gou wanted to say something else, but Xian Shen spoke up: "Just listen to him, otherwise none of us will be satisfied."
After hearing her words, the women thought about it for a while and had to admit that Xian Shen had some truth in what she said, so they nodded in agreement.
