Chapter 399: Fourth Round's Opponent?
Ding
[Macho Joshua has sent you messages.]
["As your master is dead, you, as the sole apostle of Lu Fengxian, have inherited his remaining Qi and his memory. But I suggest you not to worry about it until you have a few years of free time to spend and assimilate everything."]
["Also, it has come to my attention that the current incident might initiate an enmity between you and Fang Yanxu, but he is too strong for you to openly oppose him. He is also likely to force you to fight an impossible foe. I want you to be patient and try not to overly provoke the guy since I don't want my money maker to get himself killed. I've already dispatched my subordinates to protect you. Just stay put and do your best to survive for now."]
["And lastly, I'm holding a gambling session. Your stream viewers are betting if you can overcome Fang Yanxu's rigged game. The current odd is in your favor, and the odds are 1/3. If you're interested, you can bet on yourself with your soul stones. You can use your credits, but your credit limit is equal to your current unpaid income and the remaining soul stones in your account. The broker commission and handling fee is 0.2% of your bet."]
While Miaomiao was on the verge of cursing Fang Yanxu out loud because of his anger, his business partner, Macho Joshua, who never acted like a macho, advised Miaomiao what he should do.
It was helpful as the dao god stopped Miaomiao from doing something unreasonable. He was even kind enough to send reinforcements.
However, Joshua was too capitalistic. He seemed to be having fun by using Miaomiao's DaoTube, DaoPorn, and gambling to make money.
Because of the distraction, Miaomiao calmed down a bit. He created water bubbles with his water element Qi to clean Ma Xingjuan and his body of Lu Fengxian's blood.
He turned to Ma Xingjuan to check her condition. However, she had fainted because of the sudden memory inheritance.
'It's better this way. By the time that she wakes up, her strength will probably jump by a few realms. That OP bastard's memory will be useful for her.'
Miaomiao princess-carried Ma Xingjuan to Wei Yuan. The latter took her from Miaomiao and brought the sleeping princess to the yin slave mansion.
As Miaomiao was about to browse his system menu to check his DaoTube Channel and the gambling house that Macho Joshua had been organizing, the newcomer deity started making noise.
Ding
[Monkey King is pulling his hair in anger because of Lu Fengxian's death.]
[Monkey King demands that you kill Fang Yanxu to avenge for Lu Fengxian!]
Ding
[Monkey King has offered you a quest.]
…
Side-quest: Grudge of the Monkey King
General Information
Monkey King, the Supreme Invincible Immortal who rivals deities, is infuriated that Fang Yanxu has slain his friend. He wants to come down to Heavenly Goose Planet to kill Fang Yanxu himself, but he is currently busy preaching to his Buddhist juniors about Human Pornography Literatures and Bestiality Sex.
The task falls to you, who were once Lu Fengxian's apostle. He wants you to kill Fang Yanxu in the most painful way possible. However, you don't need to kill him today or tomorrow since he understands that you are still a lot weaker than your target.
Once you complete this side-quest, Monkey King shall bestow you a cup-worth of a myth-grade liquor, the Jade Emperor Wine of Immortality. Upon drinking one drop of the wine, you will be granted eternal youth and endless vigor while your soul dantian's capacity will be expanded by two folds. Upon drinking the entire cup-worth of wine, your soul dantian will be expanded to the maximum of your potential limit!
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtComplete Condition: Torture Fang Yanxu until the Monkey King is satisfied. Then, kill him!
Failure Condition: You die or Fang Yanxu is killed by someone else.
Quest Reward: A Cup-Worth Myth-Grade Jade Emperor Wine.
Failure Penalty: The Monkey King will be very disappointed, and he shall ignore your existence after you are reincarnated to the next life (If you can reincarnate after provoking Fang Yanxu).
…
Another quest was added to Miaomiao's collection. He hadn't completed the two hunt quests yet, but another one showed up to complicate things.
Fortunately, there was no time limit or restrictions. It was a simple Kill-Or-Die-Trying quest.
'This is going to complicate things since this bastard is Fang Meirong's father. I hope she won't be pissed if I kill him…'
Miaomiao accepted the quest and closed the quest menu. For now, this quest would be put on a shelf.
It would take a long time before Miaomiao could ascend or catch up to Fang Yanxu's current strength. He also needed to be ready to confront Samsara and his men, including the old enemies, Kishin Douji and Yuan Hua.
He turned to the girls next, hoping to inspect their current strength and catch up with the current situations at hand.
But Fang Yanxu had finished his preparation first. He announced the movements of Yuan Shaoqing's side.
"Yuan Shaoqing has substituted Qu Yi, Zhang Liao, Gao Gan, Gao Lan, Chunyu Qiong, and Jiao Chu with the following people; Liu Xuande, Guan Yunchang, Zhang Yide, Huang Hansheng, Huang Zu, and Qiong Sui!"
Because of Fang Yanxu's trickery, Yuan Shaoqing's side refilled his rosters with six new experts. Furthermore, two of them were 8th-stage cultivators while Huang Hansheng was a 9th-stage supreme expert.
Miaomiao clicked his tongue. He turned to Dian Wei and Zhao Bao.
Zhao Bao nodded without the need to hear Miaomiao's words. He coughed and gazed at the weakest member, Fogan.
"Let me fight in your place, disciple."
Fogan stepped down and heaved a sigh of relief. Finally, he could avoid the fight between monsters.
Miaomiao also patted Zhao Yun's head. He whispered to the rabbit girl, "Let the adults deal with this. You have done enough."
"Okay!" Zhao Yun was also relieved from her duty. She jumped in joy, jiggling her soft mountains.
Miaomiao smiled as he peeked at Zhao Yun's current sexy curvy body. He was tempted to touch the fluffy round tail, her perky butt, and her ears, but he managed to reel in his lust.
He turned to Dian Wei, the naked Arachne. He gathered the militated corpse of Lu Fengxian with Qi manipulation. Then, he made them hover in front of her.
"Wei'er. Here is your meal. Help me out when I call for you, okay?"
Dian Wei's eight eyes fixated at the bloody corpse as if they were cooked wagyu steak. She drooled as she repeatedly nodded.
Miaomiao tossed the bundle of bloody meat to her.
Dian Wei caught them with her spider webs, after which she started separating innards, flesh, bones, and various pieces of meat as if she was a professional chef. Then, she began eating the most delicious parts of a human, the eyeballs and the liver.
Siren City's gang stared at Dian Wei while they kept their distance from her.
The beastmen shivered in fear. Human monks and orcs had goosebumps as they imagined themselves being eaten alive. Only the yin slaves and Ma Moxi were indifferent because they were used to the gore and the weird stuff.
Ding
[The Monkey King dislikes how you treat the corpse of his friend.]
[The Sun Crow drools while he stares at the corpse.]
[Sun Wu thinks it's a waste not to use the precious corpse of a former immortal to refine a pill.]
[Tilted Hongjun and Kunwu feels bad for Lu Fengxian.]
[OG-Buddha and Macho Joshua are praying for the deceased.]
[Several Human Immortals are taken aback by the lack of morals.]
[Several Demonic Immortals love your mindset and how you pampered Dian Wei.]
Ding
[1,200 First-Grade Soul Stones have donated to your channel. They will be added to the unpaid pool, and they will be transferred to your account by the end of the month.]
The reaction chat got noisy again.
As the nosy spectators from the higher realms usually donated whenever Miaomiao did something they liked, the reactions always flooded the chatbox. He had to minimize the windows, or he would have had to waste all day reading everything.
Still, the donation reminded him of his pending income for this month.
Miaomiao sent a private message to Joshua as he remembered about the gambling.
'What's my current credit?'
Ding
["Your unpaid balance is 14,000 first-grade soul stones and five second-grade soul stones. Therefore, you can loan 19,000 first-grade soul stones from me to gamble."]
'Bet everything on me in the next round.'
["Affirmative. The odds will become 1/4 after this bet. Is that okay?"]
'How much will I get if I win?'
["You will profit 4,750 first-grade soul stones."]
'Better than having nothing in return. Okay, do it'
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm["The bet has been listed. Good luck and godspeed. I pray for your victory."]
"…"
Miaomiao closed the chat windows and returned to the platform.
As soon as Miaomiao had finished his arrangement, Fang Yanxu announced the changes in Siren City's side.
"Mao Miaomiao has substitutes Siren City's representatives. Zhao Yun and Fogan shall be switched out. Siren City's new fighters will be Zhao Bao and…"
Fang Yanxu paused and glanced at Dian Wei, reading her karmic knots to find out her name. However, he couldn't see a single strand of karma.
A monster or dragons like Dian Wei or Nero weren't tied by a fixed cultivation path or fate. She was walking on a different road. Thus, she was not affected by karma, and Fang Yanxu couldn't read her past.
"What's her name again?" Fang Yanxu awkwardly asked Miaomiao.
"Dian Wei."
"Okay. Dian Wei will be a part of Siren City's team!"
…
Meanwhile, Brocell had been grinning from ear to ear, enjoying the chaos and the drama. He and his two harem members were eating popcorns while they were watching the show from the sideline.
But as soon as Fang Yanxu announced the names of Miaomiao's new fighter, he coughed and spat several popcorns out of his mouth.
"DIAN WEI!? Dian Wei of Three Kingdoms as a sexy Arachne!? Really!?"
Brocell never knew that a legendary bodyguard's counterpart would be a monster, let alone a woman. He stood up in excitement.
"Hahahaha! Have I knew that there are gender-bender historical people out there, I would have recruited them to my harem earlier! Dammit, I wasted my time playing dungeon sim for too long!"
Brocell waved his hand and ordered his golems to withdraw from this place.
Dian Wei's existence ignited Brocell's inspiration. Now, he planned to take an adventure to meet various historical people's counterparts.
If they were beautiful women, he would recruit them and make them his wives. But if they were men, he would recruit them, too!
"Hahahaha! I love this world! This world is full of opportunities and excitement!"
…
Fang Yanxu heard Brocell's comments from far away. He ignored the youth since he didn't understand what the latter meant by the Three Kingdoms Series.
The immortal proceeded with the next round's rules.
"The next match will be a single match. The default representative of Siren City shall be Mao Miaomiao. As for the alliance's side, the fighter shall be..."
Fang Yanxu turned to Liu Xuande and smirked.
"Guan Yunchang!"
