Chapter 318: Volume 3 Prologue - Part 3
Red snow rained upon Siren City. It was the first day of the winter season.
Miaomiao stood on top of the west wall, gazing at the blood sea in the distance. The bloody snow, the crimson beach, and the red moat pictured a creepy scene from a horror movie. However, Miaomiao was captivated by the view as if it resonated with his dao.
His red pupils gleamed as he stared at the sea in a daze. His killing intent fluctuated, flickering and fluttering like the wind.
Flying over the beach was Wei Yuan, dodging and parrying Miaomiao's invisible strikes. Shockwaves and wind cutters came after her from every direction, yet she weaved her naginata like a master and destroyed the projectiles as soon as they entered her Killing Domain.
WHOOSH
One of the invisible spears impaled her right shoulder. Then, the sharp wind cutter went after her face.
"EEEK!!" Wei Yuan screamed and shut her eyes, raising her weapon to block it.
Miaomiao snapped his finger and dispersed his killing intent. The sharp wind cutter was turned into a breezy wind before it brought the cold air to Wei Yuan's face.
"Five hours and 39 minutes," Miaomiao glanced at the stopwatch on his system menu and read the result.
"Whaaaaat!? I thought I managed to last at least 12 hours!"
"You haven't made it through to the six-hour mark yet, honey."
"But I managed to last almost a day in the dantian space!"
"The environment and the mindset are different. Fighting in the real world takes a toll on our mental and physical energies. We are conscious and wary about the pain and the permanent injury from a potential accident. Your movements are a lot slower and rigid here."
"Aw, I thought I got a lot better, but I still can't even be your sparring partner," Wei Yuan grumbled while she took a sip of the unified element water from a jade bottle. The wound on her shoulder stopped bleeding and was slowly healed.
"You've been farming luck points and ignoring the fundamental training. Instead of trying to be my sparring partner, you need to add basic training sessions to your training schedule. Review and refine your old skills even if they're trashy low-grade techniques. Those easy-to-use low-grade techniques are what nascent soul experts always use subconsciously. All Jia Shan and Ma Ping's movements are mostly low-grade or mid-grade techniques, and they consume less essence than big moves."
"I know. I'm trying!"
"You still used too many big moves. You're not supposed to use Death Sword Fortress style and techniques with a naginata."
"But it's my new core technique!"
"The CORE of your battle style is supposed to be the combination of basic moves and your own enlightenment. That system skill is nothing but luxurious big moves that can be used to surprise your enemy. Didn't you see what I used against you? They were simply wind blades, killing domain, killing intent pressure, and illusions, caused by my sword intent. I haven't even used my killing moves yet!"
"Uuuu…"
For several months, Wei Yuan tried her best to get stronger by enhancing her fundamental techniques and her core battle style. As she had been living in a city, filled with monstrous geniuses and talented cultivators, Wei Yuan felt weak and insignificant.
Thus, Wei Yuan turned to Miaomiao, hoping if he could help her.
Miaomiao didn't disappoint her. He was happy to be her coach. Although his training method emphasized heavily on practical training and tedious fundamental knowledge, Wei Yuan tried her best to follow his lead.
Unfortunately, Wei Yuan was still a bit immature. She hoped to get a result after training under him for only a couple of months.
"Patience, young Padawan. The force can be attained only if you work hard enough."
"You always talk about weird stuff. What are padawan and force?"
"… You will understand everything when you can use this."
Miaomiao closed his fingers as if he held a sword hilt. Then, a red beam-like sword emerged from his closed hand. The sci-fi sound followed and a crimson lightsaber was completed.
"Isn't this what the vampire group is using?"
"Yeah, we call this LIGHTSABER. It's a part of our FORCE."
"Uuu…"
Wei Yuan's eyes were moist in envy. She had trained to the point that she managed to awaken her senses and killing domain, but she hadn't mastered the sword intent or weapon intent to the point of being able to create a Qi weapon yet.
As Wei Yuan wanted to use the same skill, she rested for a few minutes and resumed training.
"Let's go again! I need that skill!"
"Instead of sparring with my killing domain again, how about you practice using wind blades with your naginata? Let's start with 1,000 wind blades within a minute.
"WHAAAAT!? A THOUSAND!?"
"No complaints! Start swinging your weapon, now!"
"Uuuuu..."
The husband and wife continued their training.
…
At 7 PM, Miaomiao returned to the mansion while Wei Yuan went back to the nursery building to visit the children.
Inside the mansion, all girls aside from Fang Meirong hadn't returned home yet as they had gone out to cultivate near the pylon tower. Since there was nothing to do in the daytime when Miaomiao refused to bed them, they killed their time by cultivating.
"Welcome back, master!"
Fang Meirong changed her hairstyle again. Instead of using the Cleopatra Hair Style like Tang Ting, she grew her long hair like the other girls. However, she changed her usual robes with a set of earth-grade bikini armor, which Miaomiao had provided them.
From Miaomiao's perspective, those bikini armors were useless in battle since they covered so little parts of the wearer's body. However, for female cultivators, who cultivated Yin Essence as their natural source of energy, exposing their skin was a must since it would be easier to gather natural Qi into their pores.
In this city, where the pylon tower constantly released Life Essence to the air, Fang Meirong exploited her refined physique and her previous yin-based cultivation techniques to gather Life Essence by exposing her body to the natural Qi. With her experience in the past, she gathered Life Essence faster by being half-naked all the time.
Also, Fang Meirong changed her primary weapon from a sword to a bow as she found it more comfortable to fight in range battles. Moreover, she managed to remember a few of her family techniques after she had reached the late stage of the foundation establishment realm.
"Ah? Meirong, you're not going out to the tower like the others?"
"I've already cultivated enough for the day. I'm back for target practice at the range."
Fang Meirong was like Wei Yuan. She was ambitious, hardworking, and sweet on the bed. However, her status was different than others.
"I see. By the way, have you contacted your parents about your current status?"
Most of the yin slaves had regained their memory about their families. Some of them managed to contact their relatives and informed them about their current status and location. However, some of them chose to abandon their hometown and families, such as Liu Guang and Sun Yun.
Miaomiao could guess why they refused to return home since their SURNAMES coincided with certain prominent families.
As for Fang Meirong, she was also one of the hidden big shots among the yin slaves.
"My dad said that he was busy punishing unruly world guardians at the Victory Planet. He will come to our planet next month."
"That's fast. I guess we have to prepare to meet him soon," Miaomiao's face darkened, worrying about the visiting immortal.
"Oh, don't worry, master. My father will understand everything once I show him my progress. If you want to make sure, can you exclusively summon me to the space and dual-cultivate me more? If I can reach the 6th-stage within a month, he might be pleased."
The suggestion was good, but Miaomiao disagreed, "Don't advance your cultivation base until you can expand your killing domain range to 500 meters. Your current killing intent and killing domain are still useless against 6th-stage cultivators. If you can't do that much, you will have a problem forming your dao core."
"But you haven't reached the 5th-stage yet. Do you know what it feels like having an element continent or dao core?"
"How many element cores do I have, then? How many elemental continents will I form when I reach the fifth stage? You should know what my strength and foundation are like."
Miaomiao laughed while Fang Meirong's face twitched. As her master's strength was unusual, she couldn't use logic against him or talk back to him.
After all, Miaomiao was the only monster who could fight 7th-stage cultivators on equal ground with his current cultivation base. She was certain that whenever Miaomiao reached the fifth stage, he would instantly form at least 7 elemental continents with ease. Moreover, most of his basic elements would have been evolved to advanced elements, which would boost his strength to another tier.
That was why everyone had been nicknaming him as DEMON LORD. He was considered one of the three monsters in Siren City.
Since Fang Meirong couldn't argue with her master using normal logic, she excused herself to the training ground with her practice bow.
…
Miaomiao got back to his room and sat on his bed.
In the bed was the naked body of Xu Xiuying, whom Miaomiao had been keeping as his personal side pillow. Hovering above her, White Album was sitting cross-legged, meditating and stealing Xu Xiuying's Qi.
[Welcome back, master.]
"I'm home, Whitey. How's Xu Xiuying?"
[I've extracted all her demonic essence as usual. She didn't try to escape today.]
Miaomiao had been keeping Xu Xiuying here, so he could continue to brainwash her. However, her succubus queen's bloodline was on the way. The only way to corrupt Xu Xiuying was to weaken her spirit and physical strength to the point that she became a feeble broken doll.
"Good job. Well, I guess it's time to increase your potential percentage again. Can you possess her yet?"
[I'm sorry. The ability is still on cooldown today. I can possess her next week. For now, I suggest you try to brainwash her again.]
"A bummer. I'm tired of fucking a feeble sex doll. Oh, well…"
Miaomiao stripped his clothes and opened Xu Xiuying's legs. The latter opened her dried trembling mouth, "W-Water…"
Miaomiao paused and took out a bottle. However, inside the bottle was not the unified element water but they were pure aphrodisiac liquid, which had been extracted from a drop of Miaomiao's transparent blood. He added them to a jar and mixed them with normal water. Then, he fed it to her.
As soon as Miaomiao moved the jar closer to Xu Xiuying's mouth, the woman drank them as if they were holy nectar. In one breath, she drank the entire 2 liters worth of aphrodisiac water.
"Having your fill yet?"
"M-More…"
As if Xu Xiuying had been turned into a drug-addicted junkie, she crawled closer to Miaomiao, begging him for more drugs. Sticky transparent juice began to leak from her private cavity.
"Sure. Have as many as you want."
Miaomiao mercilessly fed Xu Xiuying more drugs without caring if she might die from overdosing. After all, a succubus queen's physique was stronger than an ordinary human cultivator.
Xu Xiuying ended up drinking five more jars worth of drugged water. Only then, she was intoxicated.
As Miaomiao was about to open Xu Xiuying's legs and do what he usually did to her, his phone rang.
The caller was Wei Huang.
"…"
Miaomiao didn't know if he should answer the phone since it was from one of his enemies. Still, for the sake of Wei Yuan, he picked up the call, so he could talk with his grandfather-in-law for once.
CLICK
"Mao Miaomiao here. What's up, grandfather?"
[... It's been a long time.]
"Yeah, it has."
