When speaking of the four girls, Venina Paulinas could not be excluded as she is an indispensable presence in Luo Yuan's life. Her importance did not lie in open affection, but in a deeper, more restrained bond. Between them existed a wordless agreement and a mutual understanding—subtle, precise, and known only to themselves.
Venina, twenty-five years old like Luo Yuan, was the sole daughter of the Paulinas Family's patriarch. Together with her elder brother, she oversaw the family's most important collaborations and negotiations with Luo Yuan. From the very beginning, she recognized his strength, composure, and ambition—not merely as traits to admire, but as qualities worthy of absolute loyalty.
Unlike impulsive affection, Venina's feelings formed with clarity and control. She was fully aware of her growing attachment, yet chose to restrain it, allowing reason to guide emotion. Business brought her to Luo Yuan at first, but she soon accepted that meetings were no longer just about profit or alliances.
Without drawing attention, she deliberately shifted greater responsibilities onto her elder brother. This was not avoidance, but calculation—freeing herself to observe Luo Yuan more closely, understand him more deeply, and position herself where she could stand beside him when it truly mattered.
As time passed, Venina's closeness to Luo Yuan was no longer subtle. It was steady, deliberate, and unwavering. Luo Yuan perceived it clearly—not only her feelings, but also the absolute trust and loyalty she was already prepared to place in his hands.
Venina, in turn, knew that he had noticed. She sensed it in his calm restraint, in the way he neither avoided nor encouraged her, treating her with the same composure as before. Understanding his silence, she chose silence as well. No words were spoken, yet both sides were fully aware.
When Luo Yuan truly acknowledged this unspoken bond, he had only just stepped into high-level Warrior General, while his mental power had reached the Intermediate War God level. He did not reject her, nor did he accept her outright. It was not doubt that held him back, but timing. He understood that before emotion could be acted upon, strength, responsibility, and the ability to protect everything he carried had to come first.
By 2018, Luo Yuan truly stepped into the War God realm and his mental power reaching high-level War God, did he finally secure an unshakable foothold in this crisis-ridden world. Only then did he believe himself qualified to give a promise, not born of impulse, but of responsibility and strength.
That was when Luo Yuan confessed his feelings to Venina. She did not hesitate. Holding him tightly, she spoke with absolute clarity, "You are my everything. I can go to heaven and hell for you." Her embrace was firm, her kiss decisive, as she leaned into his arms—not as someone seeking shelter, but as someone who had chosen her place beside him.
That day, Luo Yuan finally allowed himself to relax. Yet neither of them was reckless. By mutual agreement, their relationship would remain a secret until he reached the Planetary Level. Only then would he marry her openly—standing at a height where he could protect her, her family, and everything tied to her name. Until that day, Venina would remain in the shadows, not as a hidden lover, but as Luo Yuan's sharpest weapon—silent, decisive, and absolutely loyal.
After reaching War God level, Luo Yuan knew that secret plots against his family and allies were still occurring. While the number of conspirators was small, he had previously refrained from extreme measures, understanding the desperate circumstances of humanity.
Even before his confession to Venina, a handful of traitors had acted within the Earth Alliance. They were judged fairly, but not without consequence. Following his confession, Venina assumed absolute authority with a commanding, CEO-like decisiveness. She took full control over all matters concerning the safety of the Luo family, the residents of the villa, and her own kin. Under her guidance, even Yao Rao, Gu Yue, Lei Xue, and Tang Yongqin respected her leadership and discipline, treating her as the unquestioned executor of Luo Yuan's will.
To outsiders and enemies, Venina became ruthlessly efficient. She handled threats with unflinching precision, ensuring no harm could come to Luo Yuan, his family, or the harem. Yet within the villa, she remained gentle, caring, and affectionate toward the girls, balancing authority with warmth.
Meanwhile, most business operations were handled efficiently by her brother, along with Jiang Nan and Tang Chen. With security, logistics, and internal order firmly under Venina's management, Luo Yuan could devote himself entirely to cultivation and strategic planning, confident that his family, allies, and the harem were protected by the sharpest weapon at his disposal.
Venina dedicated herself entirely to Luo Yuan. She studied Chinese culture meticulously, mastering cooking, understanding a wife's duties, and maintaining harmony within the harem—but her primary focus was strategies and tactics to safeguard Luo Yuan and everything he cared for.
She personally tracked down enemies who posed serious threats. For instance, when a rogue assassin from a rival faction attempted to infiltrate the Earth Alliance, she not only eliminated him but also neutralized his entire network of potential accomplices, ensuring that no future threat remained. At the same time, she spared innocent bystanders, including distant relatives, who had no part in the plot.
Having witnessed these kinds of threats twice, Venina became like a ferocious lioness protecting her young - merciless toward anyone who harbored hostility toward Luo Yuan or those he loved. Her martial arts talent was formidable. Having trained alongside Luo Yuan, Hong and Thor, she had already reached High-level Warrior General by 2018, combining lethal skill with unmatched strategic insight.
By 2021, Venina had already reached High-level War God. Although her relationship with Luo Yuan remained mostly secret to outsiders, it was tacitly acknowledged among those closest to him. His parents, relatives residing in the Luo Family Villa, Hong and Thor, and the loyal female guards—who had followed the Luo family since before the Great Nirvana—were all aware. None of them had ever betrayed her trust, and the villa had become a second home for many.
The four girls—Yao Rao, Gu Yue, Lei Xue, and Tang Yongqin—had learned of the relationship a few months after their confessions to Luo Yuan, but remained silent, respecting the unspoken rules. It wasn't until Venina reached Junior War God level, two years prior, that all senior members officially acknowledged the truth. Yet to the outside world, it remained completely unknown. Only Jia Yi, Luo Yuan's close friend and known as the "Strong Spear of the Alliance," was fully aware.
By now, Luo Yuan, Hong, Thor, and Jia Yi formed an inseparable circle of four close friends, united in battle and strategy. Jia Yi, like the others, had reached High-level War God status and was a trusted ally in all matters of combat and planning.
During this period, Venina not only eradicated all human threats that bore hostility toward Luo Yuan, but she also pursued their connections—humans who were more like demons—leaving no chance of retaliation. Her ruthless efficiency earned her a fearsome reputation: she became known as the Judgement War Goddess, the Dark Goddess, and the Goddess of Death. In Luo Yuan's world, she had become the ultimate blade—unyielding, precise, and completely devoted to protecting him and everything he cared for.
The long-awaited moment had arrived, Venina's wish to become Luo Yuan's wife was on the verge of fulfillment. Luo Yuan had secluded himself, pouring all his energy into breaking through to Planetary Level.
For both security and significance, all key figures were present: the entire Luo Family and relatives, Hong, Gu Tian, Gu Yue, Thor, Lei Xue, the loyal female guards, Venina with her father and brother, and Jia Yi.
Venina stood silently, her calm exterior concealing the storm of emotions within. Her eyes carefully observed everyone present, protective and vigilant, yet her focus remained fixed on Luo Yuan. She radiated authority, care, and quiet passion simultaneously—a guardian, a devoted wife-to-be, and the sharpest blade by his side.
As she watched him, her mind sharpened with resolve. Once Luo Yuan successfully crossed into Planetary Level, she would take command of all matters concerning his safety, the Luo Family, and those he loved. Every threat, every shadow of danger, would be eradicated without hesitation. In her heart, she silently vowed: no matter what, she would guard him, his family, and all that belonged to him—her loyalty absolute, her love unwavering.
This was more than a breakthrough; it was the fulfillment of a promise she had silently kept for years—and the beginning of a new era under her vigilant watch.
