Chapter 447: Headache at Home (2/2)
A remnant unit of the Oni Army retreated east and slaughtered commoners in the central plain. A warrant had been placed on their leaders, and many small sects banded together to fight this army.
That was all the foreign news.
As for internal news, Siren City welcomed a new organization.
The Zhu Clan brought their clanswomen here, using Miaomiao and Zhu Qiao's relationship as a pretext to migrate to Siren City. A total of 10,000 gorgeous women caused a commotion as the local population thought that everyone would end up becoming Miaomiao's wives.
It took Ma Ping and Jia Shan a month to stop the stupid rumor. However, many still speculated that some of them would be sacrificed to the city lord as there were acquaintances of Miaomiao's wives.
A few of them even proclaimed that they used to have sex with Miaomiao!
Hearing all the news, Miaomiao almost fainted. There were too much information, and he disliked something that required heavy thinking.
While resting on his mansion's sofa, Miaomiao looked at Jia Wenhe and Jia Shan, who sat on the opposite seats, ”Can I take a day off before I start doing my city lord's job?”
Both elders smirked, ”Nope! You have been missing for half a year. It's time for you to do your job for once. Also, Zhu Qiao reported to me that some of our sect's disciples wish to receive guidance from a few division leaders, but they were busy undergoing the tribulation, you included.”
”…”
Jia Wenhe added, ”There's also an issue about what you did. A thousand cultivators suddenly migrated to the southeast suburb villages and settled there without our permission. They claimed that you destroyed their home, so they had the right to settle there as compensation.”
Miaomiao facepalmed, ”Let them live there if they want, but they have to pay taxes. Also, they won't get the discount when they buy our spring water.”
”I'll take note of that. Oh, another thing. Zhu Huifang requested that they wanted to hold an engagement ceremony between you and Zhu Qiao.”
”Denied.”
”But they said that if we were to agree, you could do anything to their clanswomen or hire them as… your new chambermaids. Zhu Huifang also gave us a name list of chambermaid candidates. Let me read it for you… Qi Hong, Qi Ning, Long Meifang, Yao Lan, Xiong Zhenzhen-”
”Permission granted!”
”…”
Hearing the names of Silver Phoenix Sect's elders, little Miaomiao took over his brain once more.
Logically, Miaomiao also approved the idea of hiring these former subordinates of Xu Xiuying. After all, they might be able to inherit Xu Chu's bloodline and expand the succubus division.
Most importantly, they might be good seedbeds for his sons in the future as the mermaids might not be enough for those horny orclings.
”Anything else?”
”A-Ah, yes,” Jia Wenhe coughed. ”A few individuals requested an audience with you. They said that their… intellect… might be useful for your organization.”
Miaomiao frowned as he hated arrogant cultivators or overconfident cliché characters, ”Who the fuck are the audacious idiots? Who dares to tell me they can manipulate me and my city?”
”Someone from the Guo Clan. Also, the Pang Clan sent their elders to meet with Pang Lingming last month and requested through him that the clan patriarch wanted to meet you.”
”Guo? Pang? Do you know the names?”
”I'm sorry. We only learned their surnames. Too many people wanted to meet you, so we only recorded the surnames, so we can categorize them.”
”Be more thoroughly next time.”
Jia Shan snickered, ”Sometimes, I think you forgot about seniority and manner. Why don't you do it yourself, disciple?”
Miaomiao froze for a moment as he remembered that his manner and ethic were terrible recently. He apologized, ”Sorry, master.”
”You said sorry, but you don't seem to be sorry at all.”
Miaomiao shrugged and placed a few items on the table before him.
The Heaven-Grade Sword and the Fire Dragon Blood Essence in a vial, which Miaomiao had obtained from the Protagonist Rematch Rewards, had been placed in front of Jia Shan.
”You complained that you lacked a weapon after we took the soul sword back. How about using this heaven-grade sword? It contains the spirit of a dragon.”
”Hoh? A dragon?” Jia Shan was interested.
”This blood essence also synergizes with the dragon sword. You see, it's a drop fire dragon's blood essence.”
Jia Shan's eyes gleamed and beamed with a wide smile. He collected all items without hesitation, ”Since you sincerely apologized, let the bygone be bygone. Even if you're rude, you're still my precious disciple.”
”… Yeah, sure.”
Jia Wenhe glanced at Jia Shan in envy. Shamelessly, he extended his hand and opened his palm, begging for gifts or bribery, ”What about me? I'm your father-in-law and son-in-law. How about you show some respect to me sometimes, SON.”
”Call me FATHER, Wenhe.”
”Yes, daddy. Daddy is awesome! Red envelops, please.”
”…”
Miaomiao facepalmed, regretted that he teased Jia Wenhe too much that the latter took it seriously. Without a choice, Miaomiao gave him a basket with of Phoenix Dawn Cherries without giving him an explanation.
As an alchemist, Jia Wenhe could sense the hidden potential and power within the cherries. He drooled and bowed to his DADDY in glee.
”Thanks, DAD! I'll be working hard for you!”
Jia Wenhe took the basket and dashed away like a naughty child.
Jia Shan and Miaomiao rubbed their foreheads and sighed.
”Master, please tell the guests to wait for a month. Tell them that I need to stabilize my cultivation after the long tribulation.”
”Sure. But if you want to do that, make a soundproof array before you start fucking your wives, alright?”
”… I really mean it when I said I need to cultivate.”
”Yeah, right.”
Jia Shan laughed and winked at him before he left.
Miaomiao was left alone in the mansion lobby. He leaned back and sighed, ”Why no one believes me when I said I seriously wanted to rest and cultivate?”
