Chapter 464: Ambitious Zhu Huifang
= The Next Day after the Meeting =
“I guess we’re too weak to join the event…”
Zhu Huifang grumbled while she rested in the 10th division hall along with other women from her clan. She was irritated that Miaomiao didn’t pick her or her clan members to join the Selection Tournament.
The Tenth Division Hall, residence, training area, and courtyards were located in the deepest southwestern part of Siren City. This area was off-limit to men due to the nature of this department.
All elders, deacons, servants, and disciples were female. Moreover, most of them were otherworldly beautiful as they practiced Yin-based cultivation methods, succubus techniques, or vampiric skills.
Moreover, this division’s captain was one of Miaomiao’s wives. The local beastmen and cultivators speculated that this department might be a nesting ground for Miaomiao’s future harem members!
Zhu Huifang also believed in the rumor. Thus, she sacrificed the former elders of the Silver Phoenix Sect, transferring them to the Yin Slave Mansion as maids to earn his favor.
Even Xiong Zhenzhen, the former core disciple of Xu Xiuying, was sent there to please Miaomiao.
Yet, Miaomiao never returned the favor to Zhu Huifang, which vexed her.
Zhu Huifang looked around the hall and gazed at the vacant throne, which belonged to the division captain, Ju Chen.
Elders of Zhu Clan and former elders from Silver Phoenix Sect gathered in the hall, waiting for Miaomiao’s wives to arrive and begin the morning assembly meeting. However, the vampires, succubi, and the captain hadn’t shown up yet.
They were 10 minutes late, but that was normal.
Zhu Huifang’s eyes met with Zhu Qiao’s, who was wearing a blue maid outfit. Next to her daughter, Xiong Zhenzhen, Long Meifang, Yao Lan, Qi Hong, and Qi Ning also wore the same uniform, standing in line in order.
Curious, Zhu Huifang questioned them, “Has Miaomiao laid hands on anybody yet, Qiao’er?”
Zhu Qiao glanced at her mother and slightly shook her head, “He’s not as lustful as we thought he would be. Rather, his wives monopolized the night, and none of us got a chance to even talk to him.”
Qi Hong, who was the closest with Miaomiao during his early days, also chimed in, “Mao Miaomiao has grown up, Senior Zhu. He didn’t even spare us a glance at us even though we flashed our tits or walked around in the mansion naked all the time.”
Qi Ning smirked, “Three years ago, he was a depraved virgin. Now, he has so many sex partners. It isn’t strange for him to ignore old hags like us.”
“You sound pleased, sister,” Qi Hong giggled at her twin sister.
“Of course. I get to keep my virginity and virgin yin. Why should I dislike our current status?”
“We’re now his slaves, though. Everyone in the city thinks of us as prostitutes or Miaomiao’s bitches.”
“Pfft. Let them say whatever they want. I get to retire as a maid, and I don’t have to manage a sect. I like my lifestyle right now.”
“Wait until Mao Miaomiao starts calling you to serve him at night, and you’ll start bitching again.”
“Hahaha! That’s fine with me, too! Haven’t you checked the strength of his wives? His dual cultivation technique must have improved a lot from the last time we saw him. All those little bitches are either 6th-stage or 7th-stage now. Look at us, we’re falling behind.”
“…”
Qi Ning, who used to dislike Miaomiao in the past, seemed to be in favor of serving Miaomiao after working in the mansion for half a year. Even her twin sister was baffled by her change of attitude.
Zhu Huifang shook her head as she found them useless to her now. She shifted her gaze at Xiong Zhenzhen, the quiet girl who rarely talked.
The cool and pretty maiden was expressionless. She closed her eyes, meditating and cultivating while she was standing.
Xiong Zhenzhen had already formed seven element pillars in her dantian and consolidated a golden core. She was half a step away from advancing to the nascent soul realm!
“Zhenzhen, what do you think of our status?”
Curious, Zhu Huifang wanted to hear this talented girl’s opinion.
Xiong Zhenzhen slightly opened her eyes, but she closed them again. The maiden didn’t want to stop cultivating midway.
Still, she spared a bit of attention to the conversation and the meeting.
“Mao Miaomiao prioritized nurturing his wives over us. That’s all.”
“That’s it?” Zhu Huifang wasn’t satisfied. “No other opinion?”
“I never talked to him. I don’t know him, and I’m not interested in him.”
“…”
Zhu Huifang gave up talking to the quiet girl. She had a feeling that this girl might be an introvert, or she might not be interested in socializing with people other than cultivating.
Since she couldn’t extract any information from them, she turned to her daughter again.
“Has Mao Miaomiao said anything about your wedding ceremony? He seems to have forgotten about our agreement.”
Zhu Qiao rolled her eyes, “If he really forgets about it, then leave him be. Don’t force me into his bedroom so soon, mom.”
“But you’re a fucking succubus! How will you evolve if you don’t have a dual-cultivation partner?”
“But I’m a 6th-stage cultivator now. I don’t care about my evolution!”
“You need that racial evolution! Look at Mao Miaomiao’s succubi. They all have a firm foundation because they constantly dual-cultivated with him. If you keep delaying the inevitable, you will fall behind, and your status in that house will be insecure!”
“If you want someone to marry him that badly, why don’t you use my sister?”
Zhu Qiao referred to Zhu Yanyu, who was her elder sister.
However, Zhu Yanyu was born as an incomplete succubus, and she had no aptitude in dual-cultivation. Currently, Zhu Yanyu worked as a deacon in the tenth division as her cultivation base was still at the 5th-stage. She still used the Virgin-Yin cultivation method as she was still a virgin.
“That won’t do. You have a limitless future, but she doesn’t have the talent that you have. You should have used your pussy talent instead of keeping that useless hymen of yours.”
Zhu Qiao’s face distorted in disgust. As a reincarnator from the modern world, she found her mother sick and twisted.
A mother who sold her daughter for status?
Why didn’t you marry Mao Miaomiao instead?
That was what Zhu Qiao had been thinking, but she didn’t want to say it out loud.
“You know, Huifang.”
While Zhu Huifang was trying to manipulate her clansmen and former members of the Silver Phoenix Sect to help her, Long Meifang, the pedophile succubus, had been polishing her nail. She had enough of this meaningless conversation.
“We’re satisfied with our current job. If you want to raise your status, why don’t you offer your sagged pussy to Mao Miaomiao and be done with it? I’m sure he’s experienced in sex by now, and he won’t mind it if someone were to offer him a free blowjob. He might like your tongue since you seem to be good at it.”
Zhu Qiao inwardly gave Long Meifang a thumbs up. This Nyotengu-look-alike woman spoke what in her mind.
Zhu Huifang was enraged. She stomped toward Long Meifang and seized her kimono by the collar, “It seems that you forgot your origin, bitch. I took you in because I pitied you. But you’re in no position to criticize my work!”
“We worked our asses out for you in return. You own us nothing!”
“You ingrate! I should have handed you to Xu Lanying and claim the bounties!”
Long Meifang smirked at her and glanced at the entrance of the hall.
Currently, Ju Chen and other Miaomiao’s wives had arrived. They were watching what Zhu Huifang was doing.
Sensing the presence of the division captain, Zhu Huifang let Long Meifang go. She turned around to greet Ju Chen and others.
“Good morning, Division Captain Ju. You’re… early.”
Ju Chen sneered, “Correction, I’m 15 minutes late. But it seems that you have a bit of issue at hand, so I didn’t intervene your… little infighting.”
Zhu Huifang feigned ignorant, “That was just a squabble between close friends. Please don’t mind the commotion.”
“A squabble? Yeah, right.”
Ju Chen proceeded into the hall and sat on the throne.
Sun Yun, Tang Ting, Jiang Lan, and Pan Xiaofan stood by Ju Chen’s sides. As for the rest of Miaomiao’s demon wives, they stood behind the throne.
Zhu Huifang bit her lower lips. All these women were in the same generation as Zhu Qiao, but their statuses were so different.
She envied them.
She wanted Zhu Qiao to fulfill her dream by being someone important in the city in her stead.
After sitting down on the throne, Ju Chen began the morning assembly meeting for her division. She turned to Jiang Lan.
Jiang Lan nodded and took out a scroll. Then, she read the topic of today’s agendas.
“As you know, our city will host the Continental Selection Tournament to choose the 10 strongest representatives to join the Holy Land Tournament. Today’s agendas revolve around the event.”
Everybody had heard about the event as Miaomiao had posted an announcement on the city’s east gate entrance board. Every visitor and local people could see them.
“However, not everything goes as plan. Our agendas today is to inform you about the updated changes in the upcoming Selection Tournament.”
“Hmm?”
Zhu Huifang and others were interested. They stopped paying attention to others and looked at Jiang Lan.
“The first change, the Continent Host has updated that the Tournament will begin in 15 days, and the location is set at a secret plane that the host has prepared. The portal to the secret plane will be located at the center of the east arena.”
Zhu Huifang immediately raised her hand, “Can we spectate the event?”
“Let me finish before Q&A session, Senior Zhu.”
“…”
Everybody reprimanded the impatient Zhu Huifang with their eyes.
Jiang Lan ignored her and continued, “The second change is about the participant number. Instead of limiting the participants to 100 in total, the host allows everybody to register and join the event as long as their cultivation base is between the 6th-stage to the 9th-stage.”
That piece of news was huge for Zhu Huifang. She knew that all participants in this event always receive welcome gifts from the host, and the gifts were always precious treasures, such as heaven-grade pills, heaven-grade artifacts, or heaven-grade cultivation methods. Sometimes, they even gave a few drops of blood essence from a mysterious being to spread the new bloodline.
Even though Zhu Huifang wasn’t confident that she could be among the final 10 to join the main event at the Holy Land, she still wanted to grab this opportunity.
She was excited.
“The third change involves the danger of this tournament and the previous change. As some of the veterans here might have already known – the Selection Tournament can be deadly as deathmatches and killings are always allowed. It is advised that you must be thoroughly prepared for life-and-death scenarios in the case that you want to join in for the fun.”
Zhu Huifang was aware of that as well. She didn’t mind about the danger since it was worth the risk.
Also, there was a loophole in the event – She could simply forfeit the tournament after she received the gift from the host. This exploit was common in the previous selection tournaments.
But Jiang Lan hadn’t finished telling them about the third change yet.
“There will be a preliminary round to eliminate extra contestants. Only 100 participants will be qualified for the tournament rounds.”
Everybody nodded as it made sense. Since more than 100 participants could join, there would be an extra qualifier round to eliminate some of the contestants, which increased the risk of dying in the event.
“The fourth change is the new disqualification rule. Participants can no longer forfeit, give up, or leave the tournament after we receive the welcome gift from the host. If anyone violates this rule, their gift will be seized, and the host will punish you for attempting to exploit his goodwill. This also increases the risk of dying in the tournament since retiring midway is no longer allowed.”
“…”
Zhu Huifang’s dream was shattered. She was disappointed.
“The last change is the gifts of the host. Instead of giving it to everyone, he will only give them to the 100 qualified fighters who make it through the preliminary round. Therefore, if anybody here thinks of joining the event, please pay attention to your current strength and compare it to other candidates. If you think you’re stronger than the main contestants, you are free to join. However, if you’re weaker than them…”
Jiang Lan sized up Zhu Huifang as if she could read her mind, “It is advised that you should give up this event for your own good. The selected main fighters from our side might not kill you, but the others might. After all, our city has offended so many sects and clan lords last year.”
“Ugh!”
Zhu Huifang avoided eye contact. She gritted her teeth, thinking that Jiang Lan had provoked her.
‘Damn woman! Just because you’re Mao Miaomiao’s favorite, you think you can bully me? I’ll join the event and show you how a REAL succubus utilizes their power, bitch!’
