Against Heaven's Will-Novel

’What is the situation outside?’

Since Xuefeng and the girls were done with their interrogation, they flew up to oversee the city invasion. He thought the city would be in ruins but it turned out the girls were much gentler than he was.

He could see Cultivators escaping from the city in all directions but his wives didn’t chase them. It was a fruitless effort as they couldn’t catch them all.

’Really well so far! We killed all the Fate Holders and some criminals that wanted to teach us a lesson. Do you remember that Old man from the Hidden Realm? Those Fate Holders were the same. All of them didn’t have Fate Spirits in them,’ Wuying reported, giving him the overall look at the situation.

’How many?’ Xuefeng wondered as he gave Ming a glance. She seemed much calmer now but who knew if she would explode again at the news.

’Around three hundred. We didn’t manage to recover any abilities from them as they got destroyed much faster than normal. Thankfully, we got a lot of Fate Stones from them which made it worth it. One thing I must tell, we were poor compared to all of them,’ Wuying commented, causing Xuefeng to raise his eyebrows.

Naturally, they didn’t have Ming with them who could extract the abilities much more efficiently. What interested Xuefeng was Wuying last sentence as his eyes lit up.

’It seems like exploring the Hellhole is really profitable,’ Xuefeng replied excitedly, recalling the massive boulders of Qi inside the deepest zone of the Hellhole. Each of them must have had highly concentrated Fate Qi which could be worth millions of Fate Stones.

’Yeah, all of those fragments are much bigger. One even had a human-sized boulder hidden in his Storage Ring. It seems like he was ripping small fragments of it to either absorb or use them as payment.’

"Nice!" Xuefeng exclaimed out loud. Although the amount of Fate Qi needed for multi-realm teleportation was astronomical, they were on a good path.

’Anyway, the reinforcements are coming our way, so let’s gather. I hope you still have some energy left for another bloodbath,’ Xuefeng informed. ’This time your husband will be joining you.’

He immediately heard cheers from the girls, causing him to laugh. Their deficiency of combat was showing. Now that they tasted the adrenaline from the battles, even he wouldn’t dare to stop them.

"Are there more bad guys coming?" Sena asked suddenly as she squeezed his hand.

"Yes. They are coming to get us but we will get them instead," Xuefeng nodded as he ruffled her hair. "It would be best if you guys went back inside to be completely safe."

"But... I want to watch it," Sena pleaded cutely. "I don’t mind to see blood and battles seem so interesting. I was finally able to leave the Fate Kingdom so I want to see the world how it is."

Her puppy eyes were so hard to resist.

"But how can I protect you when I would be fighting? What will your mother do if something happens to you?" Xuefeng tried the logical approach. "How about you go back with your sister Ling and she will show you the outside from inside? You can watch while being safe."

The world she wanted to see was brutal and Xuefeng couldn’t hide it forever. As long as she stayed with them, she was bound to witness the dark side of this world.

"Mhmm, okay," Sena nodded after some thought but she didn’t return to Ling. She looked at Xuefeng curiously and muttered, "I have a question."

Xuefeng glanced in the west and seeing no enemies on the horizon, he nodded.

"If Mom is your wife, does that mean you are my Dad now?" Sena asked while tilting her head in interest. "Can I call you daddy?"

"Pfft!" Ling immediately burst with laughter while Xuefeng was left speechless.

"Ehem, no. I’m not your Dad..." Xuefeng denied as he scratched his head. "But I can be your Uncle if you want."

Sena squinted her eyes. "No. I want a Daddy. Since my other Dad is a bad person, I want a new one. I decided you will be my Daddy because you love my mom."

She left Xuefeng speechless once again. He didn’t know how to feel about that but he definitely wasn’t ready to have a kid. Just as he thought about an answer, his wives flew up to them one by one.

"Sena, how about we talk about it later?" Xuefeng suggested as he looked at Ling for help. "For now just follow Ling."

"Come with me Sena," Ling called out as she hugged Sena from behind, causing Sena to surrender.

"Ah, okay." She waved at the girls with a bright smile before sending Xuefeng a flying kiss, "Good luck, Daddy!"

Ling and Sena disappeared right after as Ling took her back to her world while the girls gazed at Xuefeng dumbfounded.

"Daddy?" Nuwa asked with a teasing smile. "If you wanted a kid, you could have just asked."

Xuefeng rubbed his forehead, already expecting such a reaction. "Don’t mind her. She just started calling me that on her own."

He turned to Ming who was still outside and changed the subject, "Ming, are you coming inside me?"

Tianshi held back her laughter as she commented, "Cough, that’s what she said."

Xuefeng pursed his lips, being the only one who got the reference, while the rest took it seriously.

"Talking about coming inside made me miss the last six months," Xiao Wen muttered as she sent Xuefeng a wink. "I started to love cultivation."

"That’s right. I think we should repeat it after we are over with this Hellhole," Princess Shan proposed, causing everyone to nod.

"I think we all agree to this," Nuwa confirmed. "I think we should send an official request to the management."

"Girls, girls, this is not the time to be horny," Xuefeng stopped them right there before they escalate further. "Ming?"

"I will stay," Ming decided without hesitation as she turned to the girls. "Can anyone lend me a sword?"

"Here, you can have mine," Yi came forward with her own as she tossed one of her new toys. "I love swords so I took a few too much in the Dragon Tower."

Ming caught it mid-air and swung it around to test it. "Perfect. It just happens I’m in the mood to kill some people so I will join you all."

"Are you sure?" Xuefeng asked to be sure, knowing he never saw Ming wield a sword but she only shrugged confidently.

Swoosh!

In a blink of an eye, she appeared next to Xuefeng with her new sword up to his throat. He wasn’t even able to react to her movements.

"I know at least a thousand of Sword Arts from all Realms. I think I will be fine," Ming replied with a smirk as she pulled away.

"Whoa, Ming, you gotta teach me that move later," Yi called out amazed when Tianshi shushed them all while pointing at the horizon.

"Shhh, look. We have a company."

Everyone followed her direction and but they quickly got disappointed at the enemy numbers. There were barely a hundred of them

"Is that a joke? That should be like five to ten each, right?" Xiao Wen complained.

"I wanted to say three. Don’t forget that Nuwa will take most of them for herself," Xinyu corrected with a pout. "I won’t forget that kill steal from earlier, humph."

"Can me and Lisa have one?" Yiren suggested, not being greedy like the rest.

They waited at the sky above the city as they watched the incoming group getting bigger and more clear. That was when Tianshi frowned.

"Let’s not underestimate them... For some reason, I can’t see the future involving that man at the front. Something is blocking my visions," Tianshi reported in confusion.

"This has to be that bastard’s doing as well," Ming guessed as she squeezed the hilt of her sword. "He must have given him some of the Heavenly Artefacts."

The group was soon close enough to discern the man’s features as well as the team behind him. All one hundred people wore black cloaks while holding wide longswords. They looked identical to each other and flew in a tight array.

And when it came to their leader...

"That man looks scary..." Yiren summed it with a few words.

His smile was as wide as it can be, almost unnatural. He grinned maniacally with his cheeks puffed and eyes wide open. Xuefeng couldn’t help but imagine the Joker from one of his favorite movies back on Earth.

"Hehehe, I’m sorry you had to wait!" the Joker called out with a crazed giggle. "Liu Xuefeng, I’m so glad we met so soon. You spared me the time to search for you, hehe."

Joker wiggled with his long tongue before licking his lips all around.

"Hehe, I heard a lot about you from our mutual friend. Now that we finally met, how about we play a little game?"
