A black-robed woman sat alone in a vast hall, her figure located at the center behind a desk, while she was surrounded by endless stacks of reports that looked like they were causing her ntal damage.
This woman was none other than Mingzhi.
The hall itself was quiet except for a single sound.
*Thud~*
The sharp, asured impact of a seal striking parchnt echoed faintly, reverberating through the stillness.
A report slid into place beneath her slender fingers. Her gaze moved across it with a calm and discerning gaze. In a few breaths, she passed judgnt and smashed the seal on it.
[Approved]
Without pause, she waved her hand, causing the parchnt to fly and land itself on a specific stack. Then another unchecked parchnt landed on the desk from the movent of her other hand, her movent fluid yet unhurried.
Her gaze lood over the report, her eyes narrowing.
It was a petition from a City Lord requesting aid after they suffered from a magical beast tide.
Mingzhi's brows furrowed as this was the first case of a magical beast tide in their sanctuary. She was interested in knowing the specifics, but was too tired to pay attention to such a minor matter since this was expected.
After all, they had released a lot of wild magical beasts into the sanctuary.
It was important for an ecosystem to sustain itself. They couldn't keep providing.
She approved the request from her side, but still rounded it and marked it to be sent to the Administration Departnt.
The Administration Departnt was held by Evelynn, Isabella, and Shirley, but Mingzhi knew only Isabella or Shirley would be willing to take care of these matters. She expected Isabella to be there at this ti.
As she placed the request form onto a stack, she noticed it was full and called for soone.
A white-robed, black-haired female mber of the Reaper Soul Legion respectfully strode into the vast hall before asking familiarly.
"Are these all?"
"Yes, Hestia, deliver these stacks to the Administration Departnt. Although the others haven't been filled yet, bring them to the other departnts. This one's going to the Treasure Departnt. And this one to the External Affairs Departnt. Make sure to give it to Lea Weiss since she's the only one active there at the mont. And-"
"I know, I know, Mistress Mingzhi." Hestia giggled before she patted her bosom, "Leave it to ."
She then turned to look at the huge stack that seed to be lined from one corner to the other, shuddering ever so lightly.
"The Legion Master still hasn't taken a look at them?"
Mingzhi also followed her gaze and smiled wryly at the countless docunts.
They were reviewed and approved or disapproved by her, but they still needed Davis's final acknowledgnt. They weren't important enough to waste his ti, but as the head of the family, he did need to be aware of the content of these reports.
"Yes, he still hasn't taken a look at them. He's extrely busy."
Mingzhi casually replied and then took a good look at Hestia, "Do you still want to be with your Legion Master?"
Hestia's expression turned quite sullen, "Legion Master is too bright. Every woman in the Reaper Soul Legion more or less idolizes him and wouldn't resist if he were to make a move on us, but he rarely ever pays attention. The male Soul Warriors have it so easy. They're so popular in other families and even in other cities. For example, Captain Praezen has now secretly accepted two won in the cities to be his future wives. anwhile, we female soul warriors suffer from having been nurtured by the strongest yet sharing no warmth like you- of course, please don't misunderstand...! I'm not badmouthing Legion Master or-"
"Hehe~" Mingzhi giggled, "I know. Many won are envious of us. That's why I told you to forget about him and pursue soone else if you want to make a family of your own and perhaps stand a chance to control your husband. See?"
She pointed at the train-like stacks of reports and then at herself, "He doesn't even have ti for us, let alone for new won. I'm telling you- there are a lot of won waiting to be seen by him."
"Mhm, I understand…" Hestia smilingly nodded.
She didn't doubt that from what she observed.
Even Vice Legion Commander Threelotus was smitten, but she never made a move. She didn't know why, but for most, it was because the fear of rejection was high. They knew their Legion Master wasn't a depraved person for him to target every woman who ca across him, as the rumors say. Instead, he was always respectful.
Mingzhi looked at her nod but sensed that she wasn't convinced through Heart Intent. She inwardly sighed, knowing this was a severe problem. If it wasn't addressed, the psychological health of the female mbers of the Reaper Soul Legion would be affected.
After all, if they weren't cultivating, they would be patrolling and then keep coming across couples and children.
They're also humans. How could they not have feelings? Besides, the Reaper Soul Legion also enjoyed prosperity, and the tis they needed to fight were high nowadays, but the tis they encountered life-threatening danger were very low, giving them a sense of security that one required to consider starting a family.
Mingzhi pondered for a mont before she suggested.
"It seems like you all need a closure. How about I sign a harem decree from the Harem Council stating that no female mbers of the Reaper Soul Legion can get together with the Legion Master, with the exception of those who challenge and defeat in a single battle with the hint of death looming over them?"
"…!" Hestia's eyes brightened as it also turned horrified.
Challenging Mistress Mingzhi? Soone must be really tired of their life to even initiate such a challenge! Everyone knew how insane she could get!
"You could all go discuss it with your fellow female mbers in order to not to harbor any second thoughts. This would also save your marriage in the future."
Mingzhi advised softly, causing Hestia to go back empty-handed until she was reminded to take away the stacks of reports to the relevant departnts.
