Chapter 409 Parthian? Is It Eatable? (2/2)
”Meddy, why is everyone scared of Parthian?”
”They aren't afraid. They're just too busy to deal with another enemy.”
”I don't understand.”
”Well, let's put it this way. Imagine that the Parthian Country is a stranger girl, who doesn't know Tong. Meanwhile, Tong was still dating you. Should he introduce himself to a stranger girl when he is dating with you?”
”Ef, no!”
”Well, that's a metaphor. Do you understand the logic behind it now?”
”I get it now! Thanks, Meddy!”
”Ufufu, you're welcome.”
Listening to these reincarnated demonesses, Zhang Ji and Zhang Xiu had a dark face, sweating.
Something was terribly wrong with these two!
”By the way, Meddy. When will Tong call us to the palace? We've come of age now, right?”
”He's a busy emperor, Friday. Besides, he probably still has that 21st-century's common sense. He won't summon us before we reach 18.”
”That's too long! By now, those two consorts would have laid a hundred eggs already! I should be the one who gives Tong the most eggs!”
Everyone: ”…”
Zhang Xiu and Zhang Ji's sweat intensified. Zou Shi had a pokerface.
Even Diaochan had to facepalm, ”Human doesn't lay eggs, my daughter.”
”Eh? Don't they have wings? Birds and chickens lay eggs? All winged creatures should be able to lay eggs!”
Diaochan flinched. By her daughter's logic, they could lay eggs as well. For the sake of stopping this embarrassment, she changed the subject, ”Cai Wenji and Du Shi aren't even a member of our clan chat. They haven't been bestowed with a cultivation technique. You don't have to worry about Tong getting snatched by those girls.”
”Oh! That's good! None of them should get one!”
”We'll have to give them one eventually.”
”WHAT!? No! We shouldn't give them anything!”
”Don't be selfish. They are our servants, so at least they should be worthy of being called our maids.”
”Ohhhh! That's right. Meddy, you're genius!”
”…”
Zhang Xiu and Zhang Ji were drenched in sweat, talking to each other via eye gesture.
'Something wrong with their brain?'
'They're not humans in the first place. Ignore it.'
'…'
At this moment, Zou Shi raised her hand, ”Excuse me, will I stay young forever if I cultivate your wing power, too?”
Diaochan nodded, ”Of course. As long as you have more than 1,000 lifespans remaining, you will stay young forever.”
”Can I get that cultivation manual, too?”
Diaochan nodded again, ”Sure. Once a new year arrives, I'll get you into our clan and buy you a cultivation technique.”
”Thank you! Say, about these lifespans, how many lifespans do you need to buy the cultivation manual? It seems that you can trade lifespans, so I'll pay you back when I'm strong enough.”
”200,000 years for one human.”
”…”
”Don't worry. If there's a war and I can kill at least 10,000 men, I can get that amount in no time. I can get those from dead bodies. If we have to, we can kill a few thugs to farm our lifespans. Once you've killed and drained one human, you'll get addicted to this.”
”…”
All officials who overheard their conversation had a similar dark face like Zhang Xiu and Zhang Ji. Although Dong Bai and Diaochan's beauty was legendary tier, none of them dared to pursue them.
No one wanted to die!
Dong Bai was Xiao Wu. That was a piece of common knowledge among Tong's ranks.
However, Pingyuan natives called this beautiful governor as [The Grim Reaper] or [The Grave Keeper] for a reason. Usually, Diaochan always visited morgues, cemeteries, or a site with dead bodies whenever she heard about a newly dead civilian.
She would drain their corpses dry, using her black wings.
All the townspeople were afraid of her. Only a brain-damaged-horny-teen would have tried to court this woman.
Zhang Ji glanced at his wife in fright.
'Please don't be influenced by them, my wife. You're scary enough at home.'

The next day, Vida was executed by Lu Bu. Although Vida pledged Lu Bu that he would serve them, the latter still killed this mercenary without mercy.
Afterward, Lu Bu decided to withdraw his army from this position to Wuwei, so they could occupy a proper city, getting a shelter for his men.
All rescued slaves rejoiced. Since Wuwei County was their hometown, they were more than happy to support Lu Bu to claim this county.
May 20th, 191 AD.
50,000 Elites of Redhare Legion and 50,000 rescued civilians marched into Wuwei City wall without a resistance. When the local guards saw the returning civilians, they surrendered to Lu Bu Army and welcomed them.
Ju Shou reported their achievement to the clan chat again.
The next order from Tong, Lu Bu had to cultivate and fortify Wuwei County. As for their food supply, Tong would send supporting units to transport them provision and weaponry.
He also gave Ju Shou and Lu Bu another task.
”Once you have stabilized Wuwei, capture the Liang Province. I'll send my idle legions there to support you.”
