Chapter 449: One More Purge?
Chapter 449: One More Purge?
(MC POV)
When I returned, my cute disciples immediately dragged me off to their tent and had their way with me since Cai Hong had already gone to bed.
It wasn’t until late afternoon the next day were they finally satisfied.
I walked out of the tent, looking to take a bath after last night’s strenuous activities.
Outside, Cai Hong and Brendan were already up, the alchemist having to take care of my loli dragon while I was otherwise occupied.
“Papa! Papa!” Cai Hong rushed up to me, hugging my waist.
“Good afternoon, Cai Hong. I’m a little dirty at the moment, so let me bathe first before I play with you, ok?”
She looked up at me with sparkly eyes, “Mnn? Bath time with Papa?”
“Hahaha, Ok, ok, I guess you can have an early bath today. Why don’t you go get your clothes first and we’ll go together?”
“Yay~~ Okies~~”
I watched Cai Hong run off back to her tent merrily.
Brendan looked at me, “So… Err… Rough night?”
I smiled at him, “You don’t know the half of it. Felt more like they were the ones doing me than it was me doing them in the first few hours.”
He smiled at me wryly, “In that case… You might like to know that we just received news that the Dong’s king has recovered and is interested in negotiating the terms of surrender.”
“Good. I found out this whole thing was instigated by the Dark Sect but don’t worry, I’ve already dealt with it. Things should be easier now.”
Brendan scowled, “Dark Sect again? I’d thought that after Master beat them back, they would have maintained their distance from us.”
“That’s what I thought too, but well… Guess they’re just too stubborn to know when to back down. Oh well, they’ll get their just desserts eventually.”
“Should we just hunt them all down, Master?”
“Ahaha! Oh Brendan, if it was that easy, they would have been gone long ago!” I laughed.
“I suppose that’s true. But to think even now they are still inconveniencing Master… Maybe… Hmmm… Another purge?”
Before I could even ask him what he was talking about, Cai Hong appeared with a towel and her favourite dragon onesie in her arms.
“Papa! Bath time?” Cai Hong asked, her eyes sparkling excitedly.
Bath with Cai Hong more important, anything else can wait first.
“Mmm… Let’s go get washed up now, ok?” I reached out to take her hand.
“Yayy~~”
“Enjoy your bath, Master,” Brendan waved to me as I brought Cai Hong away.
What did Brendan say about the Dark Sect again? Eh, shouldn’t be anything important.

(Kiyomi POV)
I walked out of the tent with small steps, careful not to wake my other sisters who were still sleeping inside.
Interestingly, I found Brendan sitting on a chair outside reading a book.
“Good morning, Brendan,” I greeted him.
“Oh, Kiyomi. It’s afternoon already though.”
I looked up to see the sun was indeed high up in the sky, it seems like we might have gotten carried away with Master in our lovemaking session last night.
“Speaking of which… Where is Master?” I asked, realising that Master’s scent was too faint for Him to be nearby.
“Master took Cai Hong away for a bath. Seems like you girls really did wear Him out last night.”
Hmm… Did I detect a hint of disapproval from him?
Does not seem like jealousy, more like… Ah.
“It seems like we owe Master quite an apology, don’t we?” I muttered.
Brendan turned his gaze back down to his book, “I wasn’t going to say much… But we all know how Master is like. Making Him go through your night activities right after returning from that… Even I would not approve of it.”
I nodded my head, “I understand. I’ll tell the girls off later.”
“Please do. I think Master has worked himself too hard for our sake already. He did all this to root out the remnants of the Dark Sect that are still in Dong, you know?”
I froze at his words.
“What did you say?”
Brendan glanced at me, “You heard right… Those bastards are still around. We only got rid of the group in Beiyang, the main group in Dong was still untouched and thus, still functioning and being a nuisnace.”
“I see… So we missed the roots huh? Should we start a purge?”
“That was what I had in mind as well… After Dong surrenders, we can use the period of time that the country would need to stabilize under a new rule to root them out.”
“It won’t be that easy…” Another voice called out.
Both of us turned to see Elaria yawning outside the tent while stretching herself.
“If I’m right, the other three countries already have their sights on us. There’s no saying that they will keep still while our Queenie is here solidifying her rule. If I had to guess, they have already made plans for whether we win or lose.”
I tapped my chin with a finger, “In that case… Won’t this mean we have to be prepared for another war right after this one ends?”
Elaria scratched her head, “It’s not an impossibility, but the chances of a civil war breaking out is actually higher. We made a show of force by conquering the entire country of Dong in such a short time, the other three countries would choose to watch us first rather than going straight into war.”
Brendan put down his book, “And in the event that they do?”
Elaria smiled, “Well, our little Queenie did say she had a plan to prevent that… Though she didn’t give me any details, I’m pretty sure the plan involves Onii-sama though.”
“Another show of power? That would make sense,” Brendan nodded.
“No.”
Both Elaria and Brendan turned to look at me.
“No,” I repeated again. “Like you said, Master has gone through enough. He has always, always shouldered such responsibilities on Himself just because He has the power. Could we really call ourselves His disciples if we keep burdening Master with such things?”
Elaria tilted her head at me, “In that case… What do you suggest we do?”
“A show of power, as you had suggested. But we would be the one to show it instead of Master.”
To emphasize my point, I summoned several ice crystals all around me, “If they dare to even show any ill intention towards Master… We’ll just kill every single one of them that comes…”
“Oh? You girls are up already? It’s time to rest some more you know?”
I quickly dematerialise the ice crystals and turned towards Master who had just returned from His bath. In front of him was Cai Hong with a towel wrapped around her hair, the little dragon looking exceptionally happy holding on to Master’s hand.
“M… Master! I… I apologise for our conduct last night!”
“Hmmm? It’s no problem. You girls deserved it after all.”
Ugh, I knew Master was doing it for the sake of us! I’ll really need to have a talk with my sisters later to stop us from jumping on Master…
Before I knew it, Master had came up in front of me, tilted my chin up and kissed me full on the lips.
I could feel my entire body tensing up and even my tails stood up straight from the pleasure of the kiss.
Master broke the kiss after a few seconds and my lips suddenly felt extremely lonely.
My entire resolve for not jumping on Master simply crumbled away just like that.
Master then went to Elaria and did the same, the girl mewling in pleasure when her beloved brother was pampering her.
Master smiled at us, “I don’t say this enough, but thank you all for staying with me. Come now, Cai Hong, let’s go dry your hair~”
“Okies~~”
Master brought little Cai Hong back to her tent.
This… This…
Those Dark Sect maggots will definitely die for hurting my most precious Master!!
