Chapter 268: A Monster Family - Prelude
A minute later, Ma Moxi was in tears while Ke'er, the little fox on his shoulder, couldn't stop licking his face.
Everyone laughed so hard that their sides hurt. They urged Moxi to lead them into the city.
Ma Moxi wiped the fox's saliva with his handkerchief. Then, he carried the fox in his arm to prevent Ke'er from licking his face.
"I'll be honest. I'm not into furries. If I have to marry someone, I would rather marry a 36D bombshell with bed experience."
Dandan grinned, "Oh, you don't have to worry about that. A fully grown elemental fox's human transformation form is sexier than succubi. If you raise her well and allow her to grow more tails, you won't be disappointed. It's worth the investment, trust me!"
Mao Xueyan also laughed as she couldn't wait to see Miaomiao's face when the latter realized that elemental fox's human appearance was more alluring than his wives.
Ma Moxi's face distorted, "I'm not like Miaomiao. I prefer healthy relationships over sex friends."
"Ahaha! As I said, you don't have to worry about a thing. All foxes are sweet and caring. If they like someone, they will devote their lives to their loved ones."
"… Whatever," Ma Moxi rolled his eyes and opened a path for everyone to enter the city.
3,000 beasts cheered. They began forming queues and lines to pass through the gate in order.
While they admired the scenery in front of the east wall, some of the corgis broke out of the lines and approached the moat to quench their thirst.
As soon as their tongue scooped the water into their mouths, they were astonished.
"Medicinal water!"
The other beasts turned toward the corgis. Many cockatoos and snakes flocked the water-filled moat and drank the water.
"Chirp! Qi water!"
"No! This water contains element Qi!"
"You're wrong! This is holy water!"
The beasts were thrown into an uproar as they gathered around the moat. Some of the shameless beasts jumped into the moat and played in the transparent pond.
"MEOW!! Get the fuck out! I want to drink the clean water, not your stinky mud on your fur!"
"Shut it, woof! I call dibs in this pond!"
"Chirp you, you domesticated pugs, chirp! If you puggers don't want me to turn you into stones, scram!!"
The beasts got rowdy as they fought for the source of water. The commotion was a pitiful sight as they revealed their naivety.
Mao Xueyan, Dandan, and Ma Moxi shook their heads. They left the noisy beasts alone while they led the well-behaved and educated group inside the city.
At the town square, located near the pylon tower, a fountain gushed out unified elemental Qi water from the Immortal Goblet Reservoir.
As Ju Shoufen and Jia Wenhe had laid out the groundwork for the water system of Siren City, such as water pipes, sewer system, drainages, and pumps, every house and public facilities could draw the water from the reservoir. The town square fountain also used the unified Qi water.
Attaching to the fountain were several aluminum drinking water dispensers. On top of each dispenser, a signboard showed the instruction on how they could use the tool to drink the Qi water. Some of the signs even instructed how they could use the faucets.
The smart beasts understood the purpose of these dispensers right away. Many tigers walked on two legs and used the dispensers to drink Qi water.
Unlike the impatient beasts in front of the city, everyone queues to use the dispensers. Those who had their fill walked away from the dispensers with a refreshed look.
The water from the faucets contained denser Qi than the water from the moat. None of them had realized yet that the moat water was the mix of rainwater and wastewater from the sewer.
"I love this city! Can we talk to the city lord? I want to thank him for giving us free medicinal drinks!" Many tigers appreciated the treatment.
"Ah, that. He's kinda busy at the moment. We can talk to other elders, though," Ma Moxi had a wry smile on his face as he glanced at Miaomiao's mansion, located 100 meters from the town square.
Everyone followed Ma Moxi's eyes and turned to the giant mansion nearby. When they paid attention to the mansion, they noticed the terrifying aura of the people inside.
"W-What are they!?" The weak beast panicked.
Ma Moxi shrugged, "They're the elite disciples of Jia Shan and my grandfather. The strongest aura belongs to the city lord, Mao Miaomiao."
Dandan widened her eyes in shock, "Wait, your grandfather is teaching them, too!?"
"Why not? Jia Shan sometimes visited me and my clansmen to teach us swordsmanship. My grandfather repaid the favor by teaching his disciples and my cousin. We kinda exchange our techniques to nurture everybody here."
"…"
Mao Xueyan expanded her domain and inspected the people in front of the mansion. She muttered to herself, "Are they monsters? What kind of 4th-stage and 5th-stage cultivators can use THAT!?"
…
Back in Time, 7 days before the beastmen had arrived.
At 7 PM, the day that Jia Shan had trained them, Wei Yuan and Zhao Yun excused themselves and went to the nursery building, where the orc babies and the oni baby lived.
Wei Yuan was a responsible mother. She worried about the babies if they were well-fed. Even Ju Shoufen, Ma Ping, and many elders took turns to babysit them, she always stayed by their sides and sang unknown lullabies for them.
Zhao Yun followed Wei Yuan to see Miaomiao's children. She felt more comfortable being around Wei Yuan than the perverted yin slaves.
As for the other girls, they stayed at the mansion lobby with their husband.
All yin slaves stared at Miaomiao, waiting for him to go to sleep. As for the former, he sat cross-legged and closed his eyes, trying his best to fall asleep.
"Girls, you should let me go to bed and sleep normally. I'm not used to meditating while sleeping."
Everyone shook their heads, "Master, you need to practice sleeping while meditating. It's more useful than sleeping normally. When you're meditating and sleeping at the same time, your body automatically circulates Qi and Essence as if you're in battle mode. It is a passive exercise that you can use to improve your physique and stamina. Please try your best to sleep in that form!"
Jiang Lan also added, "We also need you to summon us to your space. We need extra time to practice that sword swinging. Daytime isn't enough for us to keep up with Kang Yan's progress. We can't allow her to get stronger alone!"
Kang Yan stared at her sisters with a blank look, "I'm still here, though."
Their competitive spirit had been ignited after they had realized that Kang Yan possessed such a dangerous perception. None of them wanted to be shadowed by Kang Yan's presence, and they wanted to be useful to Miaomiao.
Even Kang Yan, who was already strong, wasn't satisfied with her current strength. She still aimed to become stronger than everyone, including the elders, so she could fight alongside her husband in the future.
Miaomiao broke a sweat. Their competitive spirit and eagerness created a Qi fluctuation in the air, which made it hard to concentrate or fall asleep.
Even then, he tried his best to keep up with his wives' expectations. He continued meditating, circulating his Qi over and over again.
After circulating his Qi through his meridians for the 2,318th lap, he fell asleep. Yet, his Qi circulation continued as the girls had said.
…
Miaomiao returned to his favorite Isolated Training Space. He stretched and took a deep breath as if he had just woken up in the early morning.
The space returned to the former state. However, its geography became more orderly.
The Isolation Training Space was no longer a water world. Sprouts of unknown trees, tall stalks of grasses, and flowers began to replace the empty fields, but the majority of the space was still endless grassland.
A volcano mountain and a sea were several kilometers away from Miaomiao's location. Floating in the middle of the sea was a brown crystal, which continuously scattered random seeds of plants. As for the dark volcano mountain, it leaked a river of magma, which flowed into the sea. The magma quickly turned black and solidified, turning into igneous rocks.
Somehow, this space slowly turned into a developing world.
While Miaomiao was admiring the scenery, Xu Chu woke up upon sensing the familiar aura of an incubus.
Xu Chu could sense that Miaomiao had somehow converted her menstrual blood into blood essence, and he had used it to evolve his bloodline. The black feather wings behind his back were the proof since they contained the pink miasma of an incubus ancestor.
She liked what she saw. A mutated incubus was an ideal food factory, and she wanted to keep producing quality semen and Life Essence for her forever.
"Oh, you're back. Come to me, I'm hungry."
Miaomiao jumped away from Xu Chu since he wasn't in the mood of having sex.
Miaomiao had planned to use this space to practice his basic skills and basic sword movements. He didn't want to miss the chance to obtain Mystic Eyes of Death Perception ability.
Although Miaomiao could easily copy Kang Yan's ability through sex, he believed that getting it naturally might be better for his foundation. After all, muscle memory, skill mastery, and battle instinct could only be acquired by spending countless hours practicing and correcting his mistakes.
Alternatively, Miaomiao could use the space to fight clones as he did during his early days. However, fighting 4th-stage clones or stronger opponents consumed a lot of energy, and the system wouldn't replenish his energy for him after each fight anymore.
Still, Miaomiao had an inspiration how he could abuse the sparring system and the clones. He could summon weak clones to use as target practice for basic sword swings for him and the girls.
But before he could start practicing, he had to deal with Xu Chu first. Miaomiao didn't know if this sex doll would do when she met his wives.
"Oh, err, senior. I'm sorry. I won't be feeding you my semen today."
"Why not?" Xu Chu was surprised. Every god and immortal would be willing to sacrifice anything to get laid with her. However, Miaomiao refused to do it when he had a chance.
"I'm planning to use my time in this space to train today."
"Ho? What kind of training, then?" She was curious.
"Basic sword training."
"Basic sword training at your current strength? Why bother? You could have learned heaven-grade techniques or immortal-grade techniques from me if you please me. Come on, stick your dick in me like you used to. Feed me more of your semen and I'll teach you some of my techniques!"
The temptation was powerful, but Miaomiao shook his head and killed his boner.
For once in a while, Miaomiao appreciated Zhao Bao's random teaching and his face. Just by thinking of Zhao Bao's bald head and his swearing, Miaomiao's mood was ruined.
"No. I have something else to do. Please forgive me."
"…"
Xu Chu frowned for a moment. Then, she turned around, disappointed in Miaomiao's decision.
"Well, since you're this stupid, forget it. I'm going back to sleep. Don't bother me, or I'll kill you and destroy your plane core."
The ancient succubus flew away and dove into the green sea of the wood element crystal. The overwhelming presence of a goddess faded afterward.
After Xu Chu had left, Miaomiao was relieved. He began summoning his yin slaves to the space. He also prayed that they wouldn't meet since Xu Chu might harm or kill his wives.
Still, Miaomiao was concerned about her threat. If she could destroy the plane core fragment, which was in the middle of being constructed, this world might not be safe anymore.

[The system has detected a hostile foreign being in your Isolation Training Space.]
[Your sponsor has installed an anti-virus program to the system.]
[Your sponsor said, "Since I'm using you to trap that bitch, consider it my payment. I owe you nothing, but you still owe me a ton."]
"…"
RUMBLE
The entire space trembled. Suddenly, something shuttled from the wood element sea and flew toward Miaomiao.
It was a purple crystal ball, which was larger than a soccer field. The huge crystal circled around Miaomiao for 3 laps before it shuttled to the sky, staying next to the lightning element crystal.

[Quarantine Program has been executed.]
[The system has extracted Xu Chu's collected energy and stored it in a pseudo dantian crystal.]
[Whenever Xu Chu plans to harm you or your space, the system shall extract all her energy and store it here. You can access this energy source after you have built an energy warehouse in this world.]
