My CEO Harem Cultivation System

Fate, fortune and one's devices—mere coincidence if you will. 

Whenever one questioned it, the people were bound to sometimes get an answer and it could change their mind for good. Except that the newcomer was already late for the last half hour and she was getting tired of waiting.

Li Yang could see it in the distance.

They were close enough to read the signage. The nonsensical name of the Divine Drinks was displayed brightly in gaudy neon-lights that would have kept a drunkard away with how glaring the lights were.

It wasn't a first choice for most people around the area, there were classier bars and places for both young and old, all within drinking age, to come and visit. 

The nightlife of Shanghai city was filled with tremendous sights for many to engage in.

But Li Yang arrived outside the venue and thought it was not the same in the shadow-version of the world.. Compared to the pitch black darkness of most of the city when he and Taiga travelled through numerous buildings, the Divine Wish Drinks bar was truly filled with life. 

He could even pick up some of the noise even from outside of the place.

It was a four-storey building, moderately sized… even small considering city standards, but there was a certain charm to it that may have resembled one trying to enter a red carpet premiere spot. 

Two shiny poles with the luxurious red velvet rope gave it a Hollywood feel. Completing the image were two sharply dressed bodyguards that seemed to be assessing and keeping most of the people out.

There was actually a small line of what appeared to be at least a dozen of what appeared to humans from first glance—until Li Yang noted and took down the assortment in their appearances. 

He thought he saw a lady with shimmering green scales on her arms, two people down the line there was some guy that had exceptionally sharp ears and even two people that looked too much alike even for twins. 

Except for the fact that one of them was frothing in the mouth.

Even the other people seemed to be avoiding those two, and yet the crowd was composed and mixed of different spirits. Li Yang thought that meeting a mermaid, tigress spirit and then even Setsuko with the fox bloodline was an extraordinary feat—but there were too many different people to mention.

Even his companion seemed taken aback.

She glanced around the other people behind them and actually spoke about it aloud. "Taiga has never been here before…" 

He thought that he heard some sniggers, but most of the people looked preoccupied with their own conversation. Li Yang frowned slightly, but waited until it was their turn.

"IDs please." A deceptively normal-looking human asked. He was currently situated on the opposite side of what appeared to be a guy with sharp horns spiralling out of his forehead—but there was a certain menacing grin to the man.

Li Yang didn't think that he'd need it now—especially with Taiga having left hers—but the card he first received from Shen Society got the bodyguard looking at it. 

Right before the guy could say anything else, his companion looked over their shoulder.

"So a newcomer then, that's great!" The goat-man looked up to Li Yang and grinned. No doubt taking note of how recent the card was. "How'd you become a cultivator? Some ancient scroll with secrets? An old ghost cultivation master still lurking about in an undiscovered cultivation cave?"

"Er, he's with me." Taiga waved in front of the goat-man and motioned to herself. 

"So you got her as a girlfriend and accidentally discovered that she was a cultivator and now you're dual-cultivating together? Man, I'm jealous. My girlfriend realized I had horns when we were having sex… and nearly called both the police and animal control on me. She did not find it funny." 

Li Yang raised a brow.

The normal-looking guy finally returned Li Yang the card. "Enjoy your stay, Mister Li and to you as well, Miss Taiga. Try not to get involved with too many folks—some are merely passersby."

"Alright," he said. It was an odd thing to say to someone just visiting the bar, but perhaps it was a normal thing for them to get into trouble with all of the people that gathered around here.

After their exchange, the man lifted up the velvet rope and they were allowed to step inside. The sound earlier from outside of the building became louder and played closely to Li Yang's ears and he found that the sights didn't deviate from a regular night club.

"So… where's your friend?" Taiga grabbed his arm as the two of them squeezed into the corridors before arriving into a more spacious room. At the center lay the dance floor made out from what appeared to be shimmering-like stones. Multicolored lights focused around that area and on a small stage with actual performers playing live.

"She's probably around here," Li Yang said.

He sent a message before he took in their surroundings. 

Near the northern part of the area was an open bar and then a secluded more area with couches and loveseats. Couples or otherwise, people who decided to keep to themselves were present there.

However he didn't see Narissa there.

Right until he saw a blob of water fall right in front of him and then shape itself into an arrow pointing upwards. Li Yang looked up and saw that Narissa was in a balcony on what could have been the fourth floor—except there was no floor at all.

There were numerous platforms on different and wild places, but no actual stairs to move up to around it. How Narissa got up there was questionable, but it was already obvious that in a realm of the supernatural… When did anybody have to take the stairs?

One of the people at the top practically flew downwards—looking pretty much like a bird until they transformed back into a human.

Li Yang turned to his companion. "Shall we go, Taiga?" 

Taiga already leapt up and aimed for Narissa's platform.
