Chapter 319: Background of Vampire Girls (1/2)
Five minutes after the brief chat, Miaomiao hung up the call. He gazed at his phone in solemn and rubbed the Ring of Slave Master.
”Tomorrow morning, I have something important to talk about with everyone. Gather at the training field and tell all elders and the beastman representatives.”
Ten seconds after Miaomiao used his ring to deliver a voice transmission to his yin slaves, Fang Meirong leaped into his room through the window. Her anxiousness was revealed through her widened eyes and flustered look.
As soon as Fang Meirong saw the state of Xu Xiuying, she heaved a sigh of relief.
”For a moment there, I thought Xu Xiuying had escaped.”
Miaomiao shook his head, ”I left White Album here. Do you think anyone can escape when she's keeping watch 24/7?”
Fang Meirong gazed at White Album, who was floating in the room. The spiritual familiar waved her hand and gave Fang Meirong a smug smile.
”Ugh, I can't get used to your familiar, master.”
”Are you afraid of ghosts or something?”
”No. It's just… her face is the same as Xu Xiuying. It scares me.”
Fang Meirong had PTSD whenever she saw Xu Xiuying's smile. As White Album's smile was the same as Xu Xiuying's, she always felt uncomfortable around the familiar.
”Go back to your training. I have work to do.”
Miaomiao excused himself and chased Fang Meirong away. The latter pouted as she also wanted his love, but Miaomiao had planned to concentrate on brainwashing this broken drug junkie.
After Fang Meirong left, Miaomiao sat on the bed and rubbed his temples. The headache was killing him.
”Dammit, Wei Huang. You pitiful bastard…”
…
The next morning, Jia Shan, Jia Wenhe, Ju Shoufen, Ma Ping, Zhao Bao, Fogan, Mao Xueyan, Ke'er, Ma Moxi, Hua Xiong, Lu Fengxian, and everybody gathered at the mansion's training ground to answer Miaomiao's emergency summon.
Not only the captains of beastmen came, monks, orcs, and mermaids also gathered in front of the mansion, eavesdropping and peeping the event from the outside.
The population of this city had already reached over 10,000. When they gathered in one place, they became a huge crowd of men, demi-humans, beasts, and demons.
Lu Fengxian's face was solemn as he gazed at his apostle. As he had read Miaomiao's thoughts, he stood next to the latter, acting as his temporary aide to fill in the detail if he needed to.
Miaomiao's wives had also been briefed last night when Miaomiao summoned everyone to Isolation Training Space for the nighttime training routine. Even Wei Yuan had learned of what her grandfather had relayed on the phone.
However, most of the elders hadn't learned about the urgent news yet.
”I think everyone is here. Just tell us what happened, Miaomiao.”
Jia Shan was curious as to why Miaomiao decided to gather everybody here. Normally, Miaomiao was well-known to be either a sex machine since he always spent his days having sex in his mansion. Leading a group meeting like this was rare.
Jia Wenhe, on the other hand, had a bad premonition. As he had been working as a handyman after they had migrated to this city, he knew the city layout like the back of his hands. Yet, every time that Miaomiao visited him during the past few months, a new building emerged out of nowhere and gave off weird effects. Thus, Jia Wenhe knew - Everything time that Miaomiao moved, a huge change always occurred afterward.
”Something happened or you did something again?”
Miaomiao smiled at his son/father-in-law, ”It's the former. I have a piece of good news and three pieces of bad news. What do you want to hear first?”
”Bad news first, so we don't have to get our hopes up.”
”How pessimism. Oh, well. That works.”
Miaomiao coughed and gazed at everyone, including the people, who had climbed the wall to listen to their conversation. With a loud and clear voice, he announced.
”First bad news, Yuan Shaoqing has formed an alliance with all orthodox sects and the demons.”
Everyone shrugged as they believed that worldly politics didn't concern them. However, Ma Ping, Mao Xueyan, Hua Xiong, Ju Shoufen, Jia Wenhe, Zhao Bao, and Jia Shan's faces darkened.
”Second bad news, that alliance is called [Anti-Siren City Alliance]. They claimed that we razed Red Sun City, killed ordinary people, plundered the Liu Clan's treasury, and kidnapped the child emperor. Welp, they've pretty much waged war against us.”
MURMUR
The crowd in front of the mansion was shocked and murmured in fright. Nobody liked war, especially if they would be unwillingly involved.
Ju Shoufen was enraged when she thought about Ju Xie and Yuan Shaoqing. Her killing intent exploded, and her eyes flared.
”Last bad news, the first wave of their forces should arrive here before the end of winter. We can expect them to be here in two months at the earliest or three to four months at the latest. Also, we don't know how many men they will bring or how many experts from their side will show up.”
Hearing the deadline, the beastmen panicked. Loud animal cries, whimpers, and chirpings echoed in the city as if they were brought to an ancient slaughterhouse.
As for the monks and orcs, they heaved a sigh of relief as they had time to prepare. From their perspective, learning the estimated time of arrival was a piece of good news as they could make the right decision for the plan and preparation.
Ma Ping also had the same idea as the monks and the orcs. Knowing Miaomiao, the elder believed that the situation could still be manageable since they had an 8th-stage cultivator and several nascent soul realm experts here.
Moreover, Miaomiao hadn't revealed the piece of good news yet.
”What about the good news, Miaomiao?”
