Chapter 432: Winter Chaos – Part 1
Ding
[Mao Xueyan has resisted your brainwashing ability.]
[You cannot brainwash a love interest of a protagonist with a Heavanly Fate Crystal!]
[Please complete your Heavenly Fate Crystal and try again!]
As Miaomiao was pumping semen into Mao Xueyan’s belly, he glanced at his system notification screen.
This was the first time that Dion informed him about a love interest of a protagonist and their immunity. He wondered if it had anything to do with Wei Yuan and Dian Wei, who were immune to his brainwashing ability as well.
Also, the fact that Mao Xueyan had a Heaven Fate Crystal was shocking.
‘Is Wei Yuan or Dian Wei a protagonist’s love interest, too? Do they have Heavenly Fate Fragments or Crystals?’
[I have no idea.]
‘You’re useless.’
[And you’re stupid.]
Miaomiao sighed as he didn’t want to bicker with Dion. He changed the subject.
‘Can I give her a system or summon her to ITS? If she’s immune to brainwashing effect, she will miss out on the precious training space.’
[If you want that feature, you must construct additional pylons!]
‘Are you kidding?’
[One Life Essence Pylon can support one child system holder. Wei Yuan has already occupied the only available slot.]
[Please collect the following items to construct an additional pylon.]
[1. An Advanced Element Crystal.]
[2. A Piece of Heavenly Fate Fragment whose owner has at least 5 points of Plot Armor Luck.]
[3. Your Blood Essence.]
[Tips: You can hunt a neutral character, antagonist, or a protagonist with at least 5 Luck Points.]
It seemed that Miaomiao had another homework to do. He needed to hunt a strong protagonist, antagonist, or neutral character.
He thought of CJ, Liu Xuande, and Ling Tianlong, who had high Luck Value.
‘Can I use my Heavenly Fate Fragment?’
[No. All your fragments have been merged with the broken Heavenly Fate Crystal of Ding Bu. The system needs it for quests, quest rewards, and DaoTube Realm-Net Connection.]
[Again, it has to be an expendable Heavenly Fate Fragment since it will be permanently consumed upon constructing the second pylon tower.]
There were so many restrictions that it gave Miaomiao a headache.
“What are you thinking, Miaomiao? Your hips stop moving.”
While Miaomiao was engrossed in the system changes, Mao Xueyan looked at his face.
Currently, she was still under him, and they were still connecting. Her arms hugged Miaomiao tight like a monkey latching on her mother.
Yet, Mao Xueyan’s lewd expression and her flushed face revealed her mood. Her legs locked Miaomiao’s waist, not wanting him to pull his D out.
“Love me more, Miaomiao. Keep looking at me…”
Unlike before, Mao Xueyan seemed sweeter than usual.
“Xueyan, we’ve been doing it for an entire day. I have work to do.”
“I’ll be a good girl. Please, love me more.”
“…”
Even though Mao Xueyan wasn’t broken, her words and actions were the same as other yin slaves.
Because of her loveliness and sweetness, Miaomiao couldn’t resist her charm. He closed the system windows and kept on going.
…
[You have dual-cultivated with Mao Xueyan.]
[The Divine White Tiger’s Blood of Mao Xueyan has enhanced your Life Essence.]
[Your Dantian Capacity has been expanded.]
[You have completed the Side Quest: Be Mao Xueyan’s First Man.]
[You have obtained a drop of Divine White Tiger’s Blood Essence as a reward.]
[The blood essence has been stored in your soul dantian. It cannot be consumed or used until you completely recultivate Holy Light Element Crystal.]
…
After Miaomiao got Mao Xueyan and Zhao Yun to officially join the league of his wives, he was instantly scolded by Wei Yuan and others. They forced him to summon them into his dantian space.
Everyone demanded a one-day in real world time so that they could monopolize him for two years in Isolation Training Space.
Without a choice, Miaomiao spent three more weeks pampering his wives to appease their jealousy. Even Wu Guotai was secretly summoned to spend time alone with Miaomiao in the space.
…
= A Month Later after Mao Xueyan Officially Joined Miaomiao’s Harem =
It was late December, and the snow covered half of the Aves Continent. However, the vicinity around Siren City and the World Tree of Cernun was lively as ever.
On the contrary, the north of Siren City, aka the Xuan City, was not so peaceful. Countless metal golems kept moving out of the city and marching east.
Over 100,000 golems with the strength of 6th-stage gathered in front of Chicken Ann City. Also, reinforcement from Xuan City kept coming to the area as their master sent them to attack the former city of Liu Xuande.
Liu Xuande, Guan Yunchang, and Zhang Yide, who had surrendered to Brocell, now led the golem troops to reclaim their city.
The three sworn brothers smiled as they watched how the golems climbed on the city walls, slaughtering orcs and onis as they proceeded. Although many lifeless golems were destroyed by the defenders, they didn’t care.
Meanwhile, the orcs and onis were stronger than the mindless golems. Every orc and oni managed to kill ten before one of them was crushed by the metal monsters.
However, their leader, an Oni vessel of Kishin Douji, had a dark expression on his face. He didn’t like the current development as his side was at disadvantage.
Liu Xuande’s manpower and resources seemed limitless while the Oni Army had limited resources and men. After fighting Liu Xuande’s forces for over a month, the Oni Army’s supplies were about to be depleted.
The Blue 8th-stage Oni General, Aoi Douji, glared at Liu Xuande with hatred. He sent his voice transmission to his superior, who was the 9th-stage Oni.
“My Lord, we need your assistance at Chicken Ann City. My troops have been stuck here for over a month without progress. The enemy is too strong!”
A few seconds later, he heard the reply in his mind.
‘Retreat your army to Red Sun City. Leave the west part alone for now.’
“My Lord, are you sure? My scout said that the southwest region is gathering a new army there. We need to crush it before they can become a threat!”
‘Our master has contacted our allies to the south. Let them deal with Siren City and Xuan City. There’s another 9th-stage cultivator there that will fight for us.’
“Really!?”
Aoi Douji was relieved as there was another powerful ally among the humans. He turned to the golem troops and sneered, “Alright, you mongrel. If you want your city back that badly, I’ll give it to you.”
He turned to his men, “ALL UNITS!! RETREAT!! WE’RE REGROUPING AT RED SUN CITY!!”
The onis and orcs glared at the golems in resentment as they leaped to the sky and disengaged from the battle. They flew east as ordered.
The golems didn’t fly after them, but some of the well-equipped ones aimed their rifles and snipped the fleeing soldiers. A thousand of them got shot down.
Liu Xuande’s golem soldiers swiftly entered the city to recapture the important buildings and structures. Within an hour, they took back Chicken Ann City.
Guan Yunchang heaved a sigh of relief, “I guess working under Brocell is the right decision.”
Liu Xuande cackled, “Of course! Now, we have his army as our goons!”
“Then, what’s next? We have an empty city as our base, but we don’t have a single population. There will be no tax or any source of income for us. Also, we still have to pay Brocell 5 million essence cores for borrowing his army and his weapons.”
“That doesn’t matter. We don’t have to pay him now. He said that we had three years to pay him, and we’ll do just that. We’ll be gathering resources to reestablish our forces.”
“And how are you going to do that?”
Liu Xuande smiled as he sent his order to his golem army, “All units! Fortify the city! 15th to 19th Platoon, all of you march southeast! Your units will be plundering Mount Hua Sect and bring everything that you loot to me!”
“…”
Each platoon of golems consisted of 5,000 6th-stage brutes. Five platoons moved in unison, marching through the city and headed southeast as instructed.
…
= Red Sun City =
The fat cultivator with a skull mask, Liu Yan, had been sitting on the throne room, looking down on another man from the same Liu Family and another guest.
Behind Liu Yan, a stout 9th-stage oni stood tall, glaring down at the guests and his subordinates inside the throne room.
In the middle of the throne hall, Liu Biao, a fragile old man who was an overlord of the southern region, bowed to Liu Yan in fear. Next to him, a representative from the Yuan Clan also bowed to the new lord of Red Sun City.
Opposite of Liu Biao, the young scholar’s demeanor was calm and graceful. He didn’t show a hint of fear despite facing the lord of all orcs and the 9th-stage cultivator next to Liu Yan.
“Since you’ve agreed to cooperate with the Great Liu Clan from the Holy Land, you must prove your worth. Liu Biao, I heard one of your subordinates is a 9th-stage cultivator. Is that right?”
“Y-Yes, my lord.”
“Good. Send your army to attack Red Sun City. Bring that expert to help as well.”
“B-B-But, my lord! My force is restricted by the war game agreements. My men can’t approach Siren City, or I’ll be violating the oath.”
“WHO CARES ABOUT THAT STUPID OATH!? WHEN I TELL YOU TO DESTROY THE CITY, YOU DESTROY THE CITY!! WHAT IS THE PART THAT YOU CAN’T UNDERSTAND!?”
“Hi-Hiiiik!!”
Liu Biao shrunk back in fear. He knelt on the ground and kowtowed, “I’ll do it! W-We’ll do it!”
“And you!” Liu Yan stared at the young scholar next to Liu Biao, “Where are you from again? Oh, right, Yuan Shu! You got balls for coming here despite our relationship with the Yuan Clan. Tell me your name!”
The young scholar looked up and gazed at Liu Yan’s face, “Guo Jia, senior.”
“Guo Jia? Hohoh? That legendary strategist of Cao Cao working for Yuan Shu? How funny!”
Liu Yan laughed as he knew about the history and the stories of the Three Kingdoms. He leaned forward and stared into the eyes of the young scholar.
The green robes of Guo Jia were without a wrinkle, and no strain of hair slipped off from his headwear. Everything about his clothes was neat and perfect.
As for his face, he was a handsome man in his early 20s. In addition, his cultivation base was surprisingly at the early 7th-stage.
It was odd for a scholar to be this strong, and Liu Yan was aware of the oddity.
“Instead of working for Yuan Shu, how about you work for me?”
Guo Jia faintly smiled, “Unfortunately, I am but a temporary worker and a messenger. I merely come here to deliver a message from my employer, and I’ll be leaving here.”
“You know that no human can leave here in one piece if they refuse to join my forces or comply to my order, right?”
Liu Yan snapped his finger and the giant oni behind him slowly walked forward. The latter glared at the youth with a mocking sneer.
Despite the pressure, Guo Jia simply glanced at the giant monster and snorted, “If you insist on killing me, the 9th-stage cultivator from the Huang Clan won’t leave you alone. I’m Senior Huang Hansheng’s disciple you see?”
Guo Jia flashed a wooden token with the Huang Character on it, “Instead of having Huang Hansheng as your ally, I’m afraid that you will end up in a bitter fight against your Liu Clansmen. Am I right, Lord Liu Biao?”
Guo Jia glanced at Liu Biao and grinned while the latter was confused.
Liu Biao had no idea what Guo Jia was talking about as he didn’t know Huang Hansheng well. He simply knew him through Huang Zu, the patriarch of the Huang Clan.
Since he had no idea, Liu Biao played along to survive, “T-That’s right, Lord Liu Yan. Please don’t bully one of my people. He might be working for Yuan Shu, but he’s still a person from my clan.”
“You heard him,” Guo Jia’s smile widened.
“…”
Liu Yan, as a reincarnator, was aware of the cunningness and the cleverness of Guo Jia.
He didn’t believe in this scholar, but he couldn’t argue back as he was afraid of provoking the counterpart of a legendary strategist.
“Alright, fine! What is your message, scholar!”
Guo Jia nodded and spoke in a clear voice, “My lord asked me to tell you this… SCOURGES OF THE LIU CLAN! YOU HAVE 7 DAYS TO LEAVE THIS CONTINENT, OR I, YOUR FATHER, SHALL COMMAND MY HOLY CRUSADERS TO YOUR FRONT DOOR! RESIST, AND YOU SHALL BE SLAUGHTERED LIKE A FAT PIG AS YOU ARE!!”
“YOU, WHAT!?”
Liu Yan stood up and unsheathed his sword. Even the bodyguards next to him took out their weapons.
But Guo Jia laughed, “Go ahead and kill me. I’m merely a messenger of the YUAN CLAN!”
