Chapter 38

"Why do you look like you have just escaped home just now." Ye Xiu asked Ye Qi, who appeared on the walls, his hands on his pocket.

Bellow the walls, the mixed colours of the demon beasts' blood filled the ground, turning the soil and grass red, green, and blue.

Ye Qi scratched his chin. "I'm just proud of everyone."

"Where is Shen Hong?" Ye Zong jumped off the ten thousand demon spirit array and landed next to Ye Qi.

Ye Qi took a deep breath, knowing that no one would believe him, and transmigrated his voice to his dad and uncle, "he has a meeting with his maker."

Both Ye Xiu and Ye Zong opened their eyes widely, not believing that Ye Qi can kill Shen Hong, who is at the peak of Black Gold.

"How is this…"

Ye Zong's lips were shaking. He was holding Ye Qi from his shoulders and shaking him. Ye Qi stopped him and pushed Ye Zong's hands.

He felt sorry for his uncle, knowing that his foster son is dead.

Ye Qi didn't feel sorry for Ye Han, but Ye Zong.

Patting his uncle on the chest, Ye Qi said. "I used tricks to get rid of him. Do you remember, I, once, as a fighter, managed to kill a Demon Beast a few stars higher than my rank. I'm a trickster"

Knowing that this is the truth, it seemed logical that Ye Qi can get rid of Shen Hong. After all, Ye Qi has an assassination type Demon Spirit, so he can really kill Shen Hong the moment he lowers his guard.

"Sure… at least Han'er's soul now is in peace." Ye Zong transmitted his voice.

"Brother." Ye Xiu took Ye Zong's hand and put a small orb in it. "Take this."

"The Great Snow Wind Ape spirit. A one which reached the Spiritual Wisdom stage." Ye Zong looked at it and said with his eyes shaking. "You should have it, brother."

"It will help you reach Legend Rank quickly." Ye Xiu refused.

Because Ye Zong's demon spirit's attribute didn't match with his soul realm's attribute, he was struck at the peak of Black Gold. However, with a matched spirit, which was so unique, he can reach Legend Rank, which is good news for the whole of humanity in Glory City.

"Thank you, brother." Ye Zong didn't refuse it and accepted.

Ye Zong then transmitted his voice, so no one hears him.

"Ye Qi, what's your plan with the Dark Guild now."

"We pretend nothing happened. Meanwhile, hide the news. We are going to make new arrays in Glory City."

"Great idea." Ye Zong rubbed his chin. By making more Ten Thousand Spirits arrays, dealing with the legend ranks of the Dark Guild should be easier.

However, there is one problem, which Ye Qi hadn't mentioned.

The Demon Lord.

He was at a level higher than Legend rank. Even the Ten Thousand Demon Spirit arrays won't be able to stop that Demon Lord.

After goodbye to the City Lord, Ye Qi turned and walked on the walls with his fist clenched.

The Demon Lord would surely come. And Ye Qi isn't certain when, since he doesn't know how much his action had affected the timeline.

"What an ordeal." Ye Qi felt quite sad, instead of happy.

Yet, he greeted Ning'er and the other happy girls with a gentle smile on his face.

Even when Hongyue appeared in front of him, expected to hear praise, Ye Qi only patted her on the shoulder and gave her a kiss on the lips, before reaching an isolated spot on the wall and sitting.

It was time for him to venture outside of the Glory City to get the strongest tool in the story.

What made Ye Qi feel sad was that he is going away from his girls. And especially, his wife.

But it was necessary. Otherwise, he won't be able to live as a lazy cultivator with a free mind for the rest of his life.

'Damn it.'

Although he knew this moment is coming, moving outside is always hard on his heart.

"Your mood is quite down for someone who has done nothing." Shen Xiu, after seeing how Ye Qi's mood's changed, sat down next to him and moved her long legs.

"I'm not sad. Just feeling lazy to do things." Ye Qi leaned back and stretched his arms.

Although most of the people here consider the horde heroes someone else, Ye Qi was the real player who didn't take the credit at all. Shen Xiu ran her hand on his shoulder and smiled, as she knows that. Ye Qi has the credit for predicting this in advance and making the array here. But only very few knew, and Ye Qi doesn't seem to care.

"Don't worry honey. As you grow, you will learn that each crisis doesn't mean the end of the world. Come on, let's go. We will have some fun after going home." Shen Xiu leaned forward and gave him a kiss on the cheek.

"You are only making it harder." Ye Qi said. With such affection, he felt going in an unknown direction would be harder while leaving someone who makes him feel warm like Shen Xiu...

Shen Xiu flinched a bit, a blush running across her cheek. "When you grow, please be gentle then." Although his member was very pleasurable, she feared that he lost control of himself when he grows up to become a larger man.

"Hehehe…" Ye Qi put his hand on his face and couldn't help but chuckle, before laughing loudly. "Hahaha."

"What's with you."

"Don't worry." Ye Qi sat up and held her hand. "I will come back faster."

"Where are you going?"

"Who knows?" Ye Qi answered with a question.

Although he knew that his destination is the desert, the Endless Desert, he doesn't know which direction he should take.

Is it north, in the south, left, right, or between them.

Many possibilities, and far distances.

The diameter of Glory City, no, the As Ancestral mountains was as big as a country from Earth.

Even after Ye Qi had seen the past of the remnant page, it appeared that Emperor Kong Mind had taken it before the book was in the desert, meaning that Ye Qi still doesn't know where the Endless Desert is. And what's worse, he doesn't know which direction he has to start with.

"Be sure to come safely then." Shen Xiu smiled.

Ye Qi took something from his pocket and put it in her palm after he opened it.

"I think this belongs to you now."

It was a storage ring.

"This…" Shen Xiu inserted her consciousness there, and she was shocked when she saw the space inside. There were many treasures. Some summoning scrolls belong to Black Gold and Legend Rank Demon beasts. One of them was a scroll to summon Shadow Devil Demon beast, the same beast that Ye Qi owns its spirit.

Only one person has it. "My brother's!" she felt quite disgusted saying that, but still, she was shocked.

"Hush… you know what that means."

After looking around left and right, using her Gold Rank ability to perceive her surroundings, she found no trace for Shen Hong.

"He is…"

"I told you the bastard would pay for what he has done to you."

"Thank you."

Shen Xiu hugged Ye Qi and buried his face in her big boobs.

Even though she was bigger in size, she felt so safe and depending on him.

Ye Qi patted her back, her boobs falling on his crotch as she bends over, but he was acting gently here as he kissed her on the cheek.

"Ahem. Ahem…"

While still being hugged, Ye Qi turned to see the other girls staring at him with jealous glances, except for Sikong Hongyue, who was looking at him as if she was waiting for her turn.

To Hongyue, she is just a little girl who is serving the master she grew to love, someone who healed her disease and gave her a long life, and surprisingly, is treating her so good compared to what she had learnt about treating slaves.

"Please, have your time." She said as she came forward, picked up his hand, and kissed his ring, before going back to her place, standing and ignoring Ning'er's jealous glance.

-x-X-x-

Three days passed.

After the victory on the demon horde, which was almost without casualties, except for the Bronze Rank fighters who fell from the walls on their head accidentally and broke their neck, the news spread across the Glory City's citizens.

It was a shock for them to know that there is a second legend rank. They were also whispering about the mysterious power that allowed 10,000 demon spirits to come from the other world and fight with them.

Now, currently, the City Lord's mansion is using all it can to make more arrays in other places around the Glory City, guaranteeing them more protection in the future.

The people were seeing the light of hope again since no one has died this time. Before, each time, many would die with each horde. One demon beast in Gold Rank can do a crisis to the citizens while treating them like snacks.

Ye Qi was reading the reports with a calm expression, yet a beating heart.

Although he is a bit anxious, he knew how to deal with those feelings without the need for something to calm him down.

"Ye Qi, it's time for the meeting." Shen Xiu said as she got off the bed and quickly wore her dress.

"Ah. I know." Ye Qi stretched his arms and wore his robe, without wearing underwear. It was quite annoying these days to wear tight clothes.

Damn Abyss Demon's Bloodline.

Turning and smiling, Shen Xiu nodded, before changing her expression to a cold one and leaving.

'For real, that face trick…' Ye Qi watched her back and shook his head, sighing and following her. Shen Xiu is preparing for the meeting between her family and Snow Wind Family. Although Shen Xiu has been born in Sacred Family, because of her marriage, she is part of Ye Qi's family.

But to attend the meeting between the families and change her face like that. That ability sometimes scares Ye Qi.

The two of them arrived at the meeting location, a little courtyard inside of a large house, where elders from the Sacred Family were there, and, they were observing the Dark Gold Spiritualists that had vanished a few days ago.

By looking at those Black Gold Spiritualists, one can tell that they had an awful expression.

One of them flinched when looking at Ye Xiu. What's more, they flinched when they looked at the smiling Ye Qi.

Ye Qi smiled and tilted his head, raising his hand and making a hand sign.

All of them flinched as if they were about to die.

Someone seemed to do something to them that made them realise they can die with a hand sign.

Ye Qi shook his hand and put his hands behind his back, walking with Shen Xiu hugging his arm.

"You've arrived."

"Yes, father."

Ye Qi had already put soul shackles on all of the Black Gold Spiritualists and fighters that Ye Xiu had kidnapped.

Ye Xiu smirked while looking at Ye Qi. He already knew what his son was planning to do with the Sacred Family — The same he had done to the Sikong Family. Looking at the Sikong girl, who was blushing looking at Ye Qi, Ye Xiu's idea became stronger.

'Enjoy your youth while you can.' Shaking his hand, Ye Xiu looked at the City Lord, who opened the gates for them and entered.

The rest of the Sacred and the Snow Wind family entered. Everyone sat at a large table, each family taking it aside. Shen Xiu was the only one with crimson hair on the snow wind family side.

"So, I have bad news for you." Ye Zong said with a robotic tone. "During the horde, your patriarch has been lost"

"What, what do you mean."

"How is this possible. Everything was easy for our side."

"Yes, besides, patriarch only stood on —"

"Silence!" Ye Zong was saying this while unleashing a very strong pressure.

He had reached the Legend Rank one day ago, after merging with his new demon spirit.

Now, the house has three legends, with Ye Mo being the 5th-star Legend Rank, the strongest one.

Feeling the mighty aura, the members of the Sacred family shut their mouths and joined the Black Gold spiritualists in their silence.

"I don't care what you think. We are going to name a new patriarch here and right now. He should be a capable one."

"How about Shen Ming."

"Shen Ming has been vanishing for few days."

Ye Xiu scratched his beard when he heard someone from the sacred family talking about someone who vanished.

"But who is capable enough to lead our family now." One of the old people stood up with a sly expression on his face. He expected the Black Gold spiritualists would stand up, yet they all lowered their heads, which drew a smile on the old man's face.

"We already have a suggestion for you." Ye Xiu stood up. Everyone shut up again, not wanting to mess with the Legend rank spiritualists.

He put his hand on Ye Qi's shoulder. "My son here is the link between us. His wife is the second one on the line of inheritance of the Sacred Family."

It wasn't known. Shen Hong had killed every brother who had the ability to reach Black Gold and become the patriarch in the past. Shen Xiu, because she was like a kid, had been spared at that time, and she never had the talent to threaten his position.

"So… she is a member of your family." Said an old man from the Sacred family.

Ye Xiu continued. "Our suggestion. We will be guarding your family affairs until my daughter in law bear a good heir for you. Anyone has objection on the selection."

As he said that, most of the sacred family's members were shocked. If that happened, then the Snow Wind family would control the Sacred family.

Before anyone could talk, all of the Black Gold spiritualists from the Sacred Family side raised their hands and unleashed their auras.

The older people of the Sacred Family thought that these Black Golds are going to object and regain their faces.

However, the unexpected has happened.

"What a good idea." One of them crossed his arms and nodded.

"Hmm… sure. The snow wind family are our trusted allies."

"We will be happy for sister Shen Xiu to give an heir to us. She can rule over in case the patriarch wasn't here."

"Right. We should celebrate then, hehe…"

"Hahahahah…."

They laughed as if they were so happy with the idea, while sweat and lifelessness filled their faces.

The Black Gold Spiritualists are what make the Sacred Family a major family.

If there is more than three black gold or one legend, the family would be considered Major Family.

If there is one Black Gold, the family would be considered Noble Family.

And, if there were only Gold Rank spiritualists, the family would be an aristocratic family.

Against the words of the Black Gold, even the older people's words are useless.

"Son, what's wrong with you." One old man patted one Black Gold young man and said with a concerned face.

"Nothing is wrong with me father." The son put his hand on his own chest and yelled. However, he thought. 'There are Soul Shackles on me. Fuck! Even Shen Xiu can take my life. Sorry, father, you got this on your own the moment you chose Shen Hong as patriarch.'

Although there was some blabber, the final decision was made for Ye Qi's.

Shen Xiu was somehow happy. Yet her face shown a full arrogance and pride as she looked at the rest of her family as if she has their fate in their hand.

How can't she be proud? Just a few more sex sessions with Ye Qi, and she would get pregnant. Just by looking at Ye Qi's tool, it's easy for her to get pregnant if she stops taking pills that stop her from that.

After the final decision was made, the Sacred Family's members were allowed to stay and drink in the sour celebration of making a decision.

Ye Qi left the hall, and went to his courtyard, standing behind one of the houses.

"Master."

"Hongyue?"

Ye Qi observed as Hongyue came slowly toward him, wearing silk white robs with her hair untied as she walked toward him.

"Were you angry at me? Did I do a bad job?"

After the battle against the demon horde, she had noticed that Ye Qi was in a bad mood. Knowing such a sarcastic guy's morals can't get down without a reason, she thought that something bad just happened, except that everyone is happy.

Ye Qi smiled at the winged girl and put his hand on her smooth face, caressing it and grabbing her cheek. When he did that, a blush runs across her face. She lifted her hand and stared at him with her green eyes.

"I was just in a bad mood," Ye Qi said. "Tell me, did you eat well."

She nodded slightly. "Only drank some tea."

"See. Now we are good."

"Not yet, master."

Under the shiny silver rays of the moonlight, Hongyue put her hands on Ye Qi's shoulder and bent down slightly, opening her lips slowly and pushing her boobs to his chest.

Although it was a risk for someone who is so tight because of her bloodline, one can always try to stretch.

Wrapping his arms around her neck, Ye Qi sealed her lips and started kissing the brown-haired beauty, letting his hand run across her hair, which was surprisingly long when she let it down. Hongyue stopped blushing and started matching the rhythm of his tongue. It gave one a good sense of pleasure, which made her think that Ye Qi is so special, and she was getting horny and horny.

Ye Qi let his hands run across her silver wings, which spread wide open and wrapped them. He may leave soon, so he needs some good loving time.

*Kissing sounds*

Their lips separate. Although there was a satisfied expression on their faces, they didn't make one more move.

"Hongyue."

"Yes, I know."

Hongyue frowned all of the sudden and turned her head.

Although someone tried to sneak here, Ye Qi and her managed to sense him. Not because of their cultivation. More, because of the bloodline that runs through their veins, they sensed a hidden killing intent.

If one looked carefully at the moon, they would notice two shadows, standing there like black points.

The two shadows barely bothered hiding, which was a sign of arrogance and power.

One of them, surprisingly, was at the 3rd Star Legend Rank. When he unleashed his pressure, everyone felt it and looked up.

The other figure had an unknown power level, yet it had dark wings. They were unlike Duan Jian's since they are made of pitch-black energy.

"About your decision about the Sacred Family." Said the voice loudly enough for everyone to hear. Yet, it felt so calm. "Do we have a say in that?"
