Chapter 317: Volume 3 Prologue – Part 2 (2/2)
”Yes, Lord Wei.”
Wei Huang turned to Wei Feng, ”As for you, Wei Feng. You will be Wei Xiong's aide in this mission. Learn from your elder brother so you, too, can become a respected commander in the future!”
Wei Feng peered at Wei Xiong and clicked his tongue, ”I understand, grandfather.”
After giving orders to his grandsons, Wei Huang gazed at the crowd, who were clan lords, tribal chiefs, and leaders of various groups.
”I want every clan lord here to contribute at least one promising younger generation as a part of Wei Xiong's new platoon. We shall groom this new unit into a pillar for our country! Make sure you pick the right demons since they will be the representative of your clans in the years to come!”
”OOOHHH!!”
Again, the demons got excited as they were looking forward to seeing their children growing up along with Wei Feng and Wei Xiong.
…
”OOOHHH!!”
The loud cheer from the Mountain Goose Sect was audible to the Red Light District. Xu Lanying, who had been resting on her armchair on the top floor of Poseidon Spa House, could also hear everything.
She rolled her eyes and rested her chin on her fist. This succubus queen was tired of their antics, and she no longer cared about Wei Huang.
Wei Huang made too many illogical decisions lately, and Xu Langying disapproved of their movements. Eventually, Yuan Shaoqing, Yuan Hua, and Kishin Douji would backstab them, and this city would be overrun by human cultivators again.
'Haiz. There is no future here. Sooner or later, Kishin Douji will ditch them like he did during the previous war. That asshole cares for nothing but pussies of fellow oni.'
Xu Lanying stood up and sighed again. Then, she gazed at the old dwarf, who had been prostrating on the floor along with four young succubi.
”Luo Cheng.”
”Yes, my lady…”
Luo Cheng's face was dark. After he had returned here and reported the incident in Red Sun City, Xu Lanying never scolded or said anything regarding Xu Xiuying's blunder.
”How strong are Jia Shan and Ma Ping? How did they regain their strength?”
”They are comparable to peak-stage nascent soul experts. However, for their recovery, I have no idea.”
”I see,” Xu Lanying closed her eyes for a moment. Then, the image of a certain young man, whom Xu Xiuying had attempted to brainwash resurfaced in her mind.
”Say…”
”Yes, my lady?”
”Have you seen Xu Miao… I meant, Mao Miaomiao?”
Luo Cheng squinted his brows, wondering why she was interested in the brat, ”Yes, I met him.”
”How is he now?”
”When I met him, he was a fine 4th-stage expert with a massive density of essence. He seemed stronger than average 5th-stage cultivators, but I don't know the limit of his strength since I have never seen him fight directly.”
Xu Lanying smirked, ”If I remember correctly, Xu Xiuying said that he was a muscle tempering realm trash when he first entered our sect. How long has it been since then? Two years?”
”About a year and a half, my lady.”
”Do you think it's odd for a trashy guy to get so strong within a year?”
”Obviously, he must have sold his soul to a dao god or an immortal. Otherwise, we can't explain his unusual growth.”
”Hahahaha!!”
Strangely, Xu Lanying burst into laughter. She seemed to enjoy their odd conversation.
”Luo Cheng, can you guess what Xu Xiuying texted me?”
”Huh!?”
Luo Cheng was baffled. He was aware that Xu Xiuying should have been captured and sealed by Jia Shan and Ma Ping, so she shouldn't be allowed to use her phone. Yet, Xu Xiuying managed to text her mother?
”I was not a simple text message. It was a recorded voice message. Let me play it for you…”
Xu Lanying operated her phone and opened the voice message.
[Mother, it's me… I… am now Mao Miaomiao's prisoner. Actually, that's not what I want to tell you. There is something very important!]
Xu Xiuying's voice seemed agitated and excited at the same time. She didn't sound depressed or remorseful from being a hostage.
[Mao Miaomiao said that our ancestor's soul is inside his dantian. If I were willing to become his yin slave, I would be able to visit the ancestor! Well, obviously, I didn't believe him at first, but…]
Now, Xu Xiuying's voice cracked. She was obviously embarrassed by something.
[Haiz. Okay, I'll confess. Mao Miaomiao is too strong. He has somehow become an ancestor incubus and dominated me. I'm now officially his sex slave, and I already visited our ancestor. He told me the truth! Well… ugh…. He also promised me that he wouldn't harm our kin, so if we were to move our sisters and failed experiments to Siren City, he would give us our ancestor's blood essence.]
”…”
Luo Cheng raised his eyebrows, doubting his ears if this was really Xu Xiuying's voice.
Xu Lanying paused the voice clip and laughed again, ”Do you think this is my daughter?”
”Of course not! Someone must have impersonated her voice! The succubus queen that I know is stubborn, haughty, and selfish like a stray mutt in the slum's ditch!”
Surprisingly, Luo Cheng cursed Xu Lanying's daughter without fearing the repercussion. Yet, Xu Lanying didn't mind.
”Hahahaha!! That's right! She's a bitch, through and thorough! She can never sound like a maiden in love like this woman!”
”Then…?”
Xu Lanying's face darkened, but her smug smile remained on her face. She crushed her phone with her barehand and gazed toward the west, where Siren City was located.
”Let's visit the city. Bring all disciples, succubi, vampires, and failed experimental subjects with us. We'll relocate there.”
”Huh?”
Luo Cheng didn't understand what Xu Lanying wanted to achieve by moving everyone to Siren City. She didn't sound like she believed in the voice message, but her action proved otherwise.
”But why!?”
”Investigating. If Xiuying is really Mao Miaomiao's yin slave now, I'll consider switching sides and relocate our sect. But if this Xu Xiuying is a fake, I'll raze that city to the ground!”
”B-B-But Ma Ping and Jia Shan are there!”
”I know. I'll show you something else,” Xu Lanying grinned as her hand wiggled, attempting to operate her J-Phone. Only then, she realized that she had already destroyed it.
”…”
”…”
Luo Cheng and Xu Lanying stared at the destroyed phone in silence.
