Chapter 99 – Villain Royale (1)

Xu Xiuying and Xu Lanying left the mountain goose sect after the meeting had adjourned. Xu Xiuying invited her mother to her proud [Research Lab], aka Poseidon Spa House, where she conducted various tests on her disciples and brothel customers.

While they were walking there, Xu Lanying attracted every man's attention. The natural charm of this silver-haired woman was like a magnet, forcing male cultivators and commoners to follow after her toward the brothel.

"Xiuying, has anyone managed to inherit a vampire bloodline yet?"

"Yes. A virgin lab rat got lucky and digested a pureblood vampire bloodline, but her intelligence reduces to that of a dog."

"Then, that's a success. The more broken they are, the better for us. We need pawns that we can control. We don't need arrogant bitches like Long Meifang, Zhu Huifang, or Wu Zongying."

"Indeed. Those ingrates don't appreciate the blessing we gave them. Well, Long Meifang is an exception, though. She doesn't care about politics or try to expand her influence like the Zhu and the Wu."

"You should be careful with those clans, especially the Zhu. If you have disciples with Zhu surname, you should banish them ASAP. Don't let Zhu Huifang sabotage your branch. Her branch has already burned all JY technique manuals, and she stops importing succubus bloodline crystals. It's obvious that she won't let us convert them into our kindred anymore."

"I know. I've already marked a few disciples with Zhu surname. Also, about Zhu Huifang, we should ex-communicate her branch and incite those horny humans to attack them. We need to teach her a lesson not to defy our authority."

"Let's leave that for another time. For now, I want to see your heaven-sent son of yours. Since he's your son, then that makes him my grandson, yes?"

"You've already seen him in action, though."

"Pfft. You've been tricked, my dear. I can smell an orc's scent from him. I suspect that he has some kind of orc bloodline and a rare dual-cultivation technique. He's hiding a lot of secrets in his body. Unless we cut him open, we will never find anything worthwhile."

"So, we're going to kill our golden goose?"

"Don't take that stupid fairy tale too seriously. As long as we can refine his corpse into a bloodline crystal, we can implant it into another obedient pawn and make him more useful. As I said, arrogant people are no good. Also, that dragon boy, you should kill him and extract his dragon bloodline crystal as well. Don't bother trying to create a vampire dragonewt or a dragon vampire chimera. We don't have enough resources to cultivate something that fancy, but we can do that later when we have more bloodline crystals."

"Right ... but, mother. Xu Miao is the only connection between our clan and the Wei Clan. We can't kill him."

"Why should we care for those weaklings and their puny ambition? Once we toss them the hot potato, the space-and-time technique copy, they won't worry about the stupid connection anymore. Moreover, I heard that Wei Yuan might be pregnant. Wei Huang will be more than happy to take his daughter back after Xu Miao dies. If we want that connection, we can just brainwash Wei Yuan and trap her in our clan instead of keeping Xu Miao."

Xu Xiuying frowned. Although she didn't like Xu Miao, she still wanted him to increase the cultivation base of useless disciples, her lab rats, a bit more.

"Understood, but I wish to delay Xu Miao's execution date to a later day."

"Sure. After the wedding and the birth of his child, we'll kill him and brainwash Wei Yuan. During the meantime, you can farm whatever golden eggs he lays."

"Of course."

As they chatted, the two succubus queens charmed over a hundred horny men. The victims followed them to the brothel, and the receptionists drugged them in the process. All victims were taken into the brothel, and they never exited the building again.

.

Xu Lanying and Xu Xiuying returned to the 20th floor, planning to kill Xie Tian and inspect Xiong Zhenzhen's condition.

However, when they got there, the man and woman they were looking for were no longer present.

"Where are they?" Xu Lanying raised her eyebrows as she looked around. She found traces of someone using explosive spells on this floor.

Xu Xiuying's heart sank when she found out that her secret stash was gone, and the protective barriers had been activated recently. A face of her favorite guinea pig appeared in her mind.

Xiong Zhenzhen was the only one that Xu Xiuying allowed to access the stashes since the girl required a lot of resources to cultivate. Although the girl couldn't open most of the spatial boxes, there were designated boxes that she could open.

"Xiong Zhenzhen must have taken my spatial boxes," Xu Xiuying grounded her teeth, "I'll search for her!"

Xu Lanying chuckled, "Interesting. Do you think that your lab rat has been playing a fool?"

"... If she does, I'll kill her and get back the pureblood vampire crystal!"

.

*VRRRRRRR*

A loud siren suddenly rang and the haughty voice of Xu Xiuying could be heard from the speakers, which was embedded in every place on the upper floors.

[ATTENTION, XIONG ZHENZHEN HAS REBELLED AGAINST THE SECT! ALL ELDERS, FIND HER AND APPREHEND HER IMMEDIATELY!]

[ALL DISCIPLES, DO NOT SHELTER THE TRAITOR! REPORT TO THE NEAREST GUARD OR ELDER IF YOU SPOT XIONG ZHENZHEN!]

[BE WARNED! XIONG ZHENZHEN IS AS STRONG AS AN AVERAGE ELDER. DO NOT CONFRONT HER DIRECTLY! INFORM THE NEAREST ELDER OR GUARD WHEN YOU RUN INTO HER!]

Xu Miao had to cover his ears as the annoying siren and Xu Xiuying's panicking scream almost busted his eardrums.

"Screw you all! If you want to fight, do it quietly! This father is busy grinding!"

In anger, Xu Miao yelled back to the embedded speaker in his room. Yet, his hips didn't stop moving.

<<Ding>>

<<You have dual-cultivated with Pan Xiaofan.>>

<<You have shared 110 Yang Qi with your partner.>>

<<You have chosen not to take Yin Qi from your partner.>>

<<You and Pan Xiaofan has condensed 8 drops of essence.>>

<<Pan Xiaofan cannot obtain more essence.>>

<<You've taken all the essence.>>

<<Ding>>

<<Contaminated bloodline has been detected in Pan Xiaofan's body. If you successfully cleanse the contaminated bloodline, Pan Xiaofan will be converted into your Yin Slave.>>

<<Current Progress: 59 %.>>

<<Please maintain the connection to complete the cleansing progress.>>

Not only did Xu Miao gained Yin and Yang Essence from dual-cultivating sessions, but he was also helping this mental patient getting rid of the corrupted Qi from their bloodstream and dantian.

Pan Xiaofan was the girl that Xu Miao fed her with Long Meifang's [Mind Cleansing] pill. However, the effect was only temporary. The symptoms of drug addiction resurfaced after an hour, and Pan Xiaofan became violent. Xu Miao had to press her on the bed and kept the connection with her.

In other words, the pill that Long Meifang had sold Xu Miao might be a fake. Either Long Meifang had tricked him, or the elder didn't know that the so-called "Antidote" was ineffective.

"Jiang Lan, Kang Yan, help me tie this girl on the bed."

"Sure. But what about our turns?" Kang Yan pouted.

"I'll summon you to the [Space] later tonight. Are you out of Yin Essence?"

"I'm half-full at the moment, but I don't mind a refill..."

"Eh? I'm out of Yin Essence, too! I need a lot to break through to the 3rd stage!" Jiang Lan also wanted more energy.

"I guess I'll summon you both tonight. For now, help me subdue this girl."

While Xu Xiuying was hunting for Xiong Zhenzhen and Xie Tian, Xu Miao ignored all the commotion and attempted to gain control over these victims in his own ways. It would take a long time before he could convert these mental patients into his loyal yin slaves.

Surviving alone was too difficult. Xu Miao was in the middle of creating a personal army of yin slaves, and he would need them soon.

.

.

.

When the siren rang, Xiong Zhenzhen and Xie Tian already united with a hundred of Virgin Yin disciples inside the secret tunnels underground, where nobody had expected them to be.

Yao Lan and Qi Ning hid them there while they pretended to search through the brothel. They also took several mental patients, including a little girl, who was locked inside the B7 cells.

At the center of an intersection between tunnels, Xie Tian was using his newly learned skill, Energy Drain, to absorb the contaminated Qi from one of the victims, who lost their sanity. He pressed his palms on a woman's back while VY disciples suppressed her to the ground, stopping her from attacking Xie Tian or anyone.

Xie Tian's face distorted. Every strand of Qi he took from the girl made his dragon blood ran wild. The Yang Qi, which should have been the counterpart of their Yin Qi, was not compatible.

The dragon Yang Qi and corrupted Yin Qi tried to consume each other to establish dominance over Xie Tian's body and dantian. As such, Xie Tian's circulation system and veins kept getting broken by the result of the Qi collision.

Still, Xie Tian's sacrifice was not in vain. After taking 50% of contaminated Qi from the victim, the latter slowly regained her senses.

"S-Senior sisters? Why am I getting tied like this?"

VY disciples, who were observing the procedure, celebrated in joy, "It works! Senior sister Xiong's method really works!"

"Who could have thought that this man can cure our friends? This is a miracle."

"No. I think he has just used a simple "Energy Drain" to take away all sinister Qi. The symptom might relapse if her bone marrow continues to produce the corrupted Qi. She has to cleanse her bone marrow ASAP."

"Cleaning bone marrow is a simple task. But ... what about him?"

In wary, VY disciples gazed at Xie Tian, whose bulging black blood veins were visible on his face. Black blood dripped from his nostril as Xie Tian circulated all his remaining dragon yang to suppress the new corrupted energy.

"Xie Tian, that's enough. You need to rest."

"..."

Hearing Xiong Zhenzhen's suggestion, Xie Tian stopped taking in more corrupted Yin Qi. He sat in a corner and released excess Yin Qi from his fingertips, letting all bad energy out of his body.

"Listen up," Xiong Zhenzhen turned to her colleagues, "As you've seen the truth with your own eyes, you should have realized that Xu Xiuying is using us as guinea pigs for her unknown project! If you want to live, stay here until elder Yao Lan and Qi Ning can find us an opportunity to escape from this building!"

One of the VY disciples raised her hand. It was a pink-haired inner disciple, Zhu Yanyu, "Where can we go after we leave the sect? We're in the middle of a maze here."

"I have a map with me," Xiong Zhenzhen revealed a clothes parchment, which had a map of secret underground passages. It was the same as the one that Xu Miao got from Yao Lan, "Senior Zhu Yanyu, I'm afraid that we will have to rely on your clan. We will escape from here to the Sky Duck City and take shelter under senior Zhu Huifang."

Among the crowd, another pink-haired disciple squinted her eyes.

Zhu Qiao was listening and observing the development with glowing yellow eyes. Nobody knew what she was thinking.
