Upon receiving the notifications, the tornado around Miaomiao was dispersed. However, one of the Heavenly Eyes in the tribulation cloud was still gazing at him and the last remaining tornado.

Miaomiao didn’t notice that someone else hadn’t finished her tribulation. He screamed.

“FUCK YEAH!! IT’S FINALLY OVER!!”

Being relentlessly attacked for six months was more torturous than living as Cernun during his time in lava prison. After all, he could have died for real.

The tribulation destroyed his clothes and armor. Fortunately, the dragon bracer survived due to its sturdy materials and the fuel, aka Miaomiao’s Life Essence.

The dark katana, Killer Queen, hovered behind Miaomiao and belched. The katana bloated like a balloon with a hilt instead of being a weapon.

The remaining world guardian’s eye slowly descended and stopped in front of Miaomiao.

“Congratulations for making it out alive. I hope you don’t mind that I used the Jade Emperor’s Mirror of Judgment on you and your wives. Well, your… DaoTube fan… asked me for a favor.”

Miaomiao was still in a good mood. He smiled at the floating eye, “Who? The Devil or Joshua?”

Other than these two, Miaomiao couldn’t think of other dao gods, who sincerely supported and pampered him. He wondered which one was so kind that almost killed him.

“Kishin Douji.”

Miaomiao’s smiling face turned stiff, and he stopped moving.

His brain.exe failed to digest the information. His mind entered the void, and Miaomiao could only imagine various colorful galaxies.

His daydreaming fantasy went so far to the point that it reached the beginning of the universe, big bangs, and supernova explosions.

The first question in Miaomiao’s mind was, “Why him of all people!?”

As if the world guardian could read Miaomiao’s mind, he gazed at the last tornado, “Whatever the question you have in mind, she might be able to answer you. After all, she has comprehended the infamous element that only Kishin Douji can use.”

“…”

Miaomiao came back to his senses and gazed at the last tribulation tornado.

The wind storm was so dark that Miaomiao couldn’t see anything inside. Moreover, his Qi sense was blocked, and he couldn’t tell the condition of the person inside.

“Who is in there?”

The world guardian didn’t answer. He turned around to look at Hopea, who had been protecting everyone from other cultivators, who could potentially show up to steal their fortune and tribulation rewards.

The eye sent a mental message to the dryad and vanished. As for Hopea, she nodded at the world guardian’s avatar and waved her hand, bidding farewell.

A second later, a hundred red lightning struck her.

In a flash just like that, Hopea’s tribulation began and ended. She simply sat next to the tea table, taking the lightning bolts as if they were nothing.

The dryad queen sighed and shook her head, “I guess I haven’t accomplished as much as you girls. My tribulation is too simple that it hurts my pride.”

Ju Shoufen, Kang Yan, Ma Xingjuan, Mao Dandan, and White Album stared blankly at Hopea. Although the dryad hadn’t been with them for a long time, everyone knew that she was the oldest senior among the wives, and her strength might be a lot stronger than an average 7th-stage monster.

More lightning struck somewhere to the north of their location. Hopea and the girls could tell that tribulation lightning bolts landed on the secret wife of Miaomiao.

There was another place that tribulation clouds gathered, but they were too far away. Nobody had realized it yet.

While everyone’s focus was on Hopea and what she had obtained from the simple lightning strikes, Miaomiao had been looking at the black tornado.

“Is that Wei Yuan’s?”

Nobody answered Miaomiao, but he could already guess it.

…

Five hours after Miaomiao had overcome his tribulation, Wei Yuan finally cleared hers.

After the tornado was dispersed, Wei Yuan’s new appearance was revealed to the crowd.

Her skin was as red as blood. Two horns from her forehead were longer than before, and her blond hair had a few red strands in the mix. Sharp fangs became more defined and noticeable while her aura and cultivation base became undetectable.

Golden wave tattoos covered half of her naked torso and left arm. Even on her back, another golden tattoo of a Japanese Samurai Warlord Armor Set and a War Glaive glittered as if they were alive.

Aside from that, her stature and pretty face remained the same. Nobody could tell what she had obtained from the tribulation other than her racial evolution.

“Ah, it’s over?” Wei Yuan’s eyes fixated at the sky as if she hadn’t had enough, “What a disappointment. I thought it would have been more challenging.”

An archaic voice of another world guardian resounded to reply Wei Yuan through voice transmission, “Further tribulations will be given to you when you try to advance to the 8th-stage. We cannot spend all Heaven and Earth Qi for you even if Kishin Douji directly requested us! Also, I hope that your Oni God will not interfere with our world’s affairs from now on. This will be the last time we help you.”

The aura of all world guardians faded. It seemed that they had completed their job.

Wei Yuan frowned and rubbed her long horns. She grumbled while she brought out a new set of clothes to wear.

“Damn pervert god… Just you wait. I’ll fucking castrate you! How dare you try to influence my mind!?”

Without paying attention to Miaomiao and the other women, Wei Yuan rushed home as if she had something in her mind.

As Wei Yuan rushed home without telling Miaomiao and others anything, everyone decided to leave as well.

The gang finally returned home.

…

After everyone made it back in one piece, Miaomiao and his wives returned to Siren City.

Six months had passed, and there was a lot to catch up on.

Upon return, Jia Wenhe and Jia Shan reported the news of recent events and the changes in the Aves Continent.

Liu Biao, Huang Hansheng, and Mount Hua Sect merged their forces and occupied Jianye City, the old city of Sun Wentai. Rumor also said that unknown fiendish beasts had been roaming in the area as of late, but there was no evidence or witnesses.

Yuan Shaoqing’s men had massacred the entire Gongsun Family and captured all surviving centaurs as pets. Currently, the Yuan Clan was licking their wounds, recuperating from their losses.

Dian Wei laid waste upon Red Sun City and fought against a 9th-stage oni of Liu Yan Army. Unfortunately, both ended up in a draw. The Arachne then retreated to Xiangyang, and she had sent back a report that she would stay there for a while to raise her newborn spider children.

Liu Xuande Army had launched a counterattack against Liu Yan and the oni troops after Dian Wei had retreated. With his golem troops, they managed to steal Red Sun City and forced Liu Yan to teleport back to the Holy Land along with his men.

A remnant unit of the Oni Army retreated east and slaughtered commoners in the central plain. A warrant had been placed on their leaders, and many small sects banded together to fight this army.

That was all the foreign news.

As for internal news, Siren City welcomed a new organization.

The Zhu Clan brought their clanswomen here, using Miaomiao and Zhu Qiao’s relationship as a pretext to migrate to Siren City. A total of 10,000 gorgeous women caused a commotion as the local population thought that everyone would end up becoming Miaomiao’s wives.

It took Ma Ping and Jia Shan a month to stop the stupid rumor. However, many still speculated that some of them would be sacrificed to the city lord as there were acquaintances of Miaomiao’s wives.

A few of them even proclaimed that they used to have sex with Miaomiao!

Hearing all the news, Miaomiao almost fainted. There were too much information, and he disliked something that required heavy thinking.

While resting on his mansion’s sofa, Miaomiao looked at Jia Wenhe and Jia Shan, who sat on the opposite seats, “Can I take a day off before I start doing my city lord’s job?”

Both elders smirked, “Nope! You have been missing for half a year. It’s time for you to do your job for once. Also, Zhu Qiao reported to me that some of our sect’s disciples wish to receive guidance from a few division leaders, but they were busy undergoing the tribulation, you included.”

“…”

Jia Wenhe added, “There’s also an issue about what you did. A thousand cultivators suddenly migrated to the southeast suburb villages and settled there without our permission. They claimed that you destroyed their home, so they had the right to settle there as compensation.”

Miaomiao facepalmed, “Let them live there if they want, but they have to pay taxes. Also, they won’t get the discount when they buy our spring water.”

“I’ll take note of that. Oh, another thing. Zhu Huifang requested that they wanted to hold an engagement ceremony between you and Zhu Qiao.”

“Denied.”

“But they said that if we were to agree, you could do anything to their clanswomen or hire them as… your new chambermaids. Zhu Huifang also gave us a name list of chambermaid candidates. Let me read it for you… Qi Hong, Qi Ning, Long Meifang, Yao Lan, Xiong Zhenzhen-“

“Permission granted!”

“…”

Hearing the names of Silver Phoenix Sect’s elders, little Miaomiao took over his brain once more.

Logically, Miaomiao also approved the idea of hiring these former subordinates of Xu Xiuying. After all, they might be able to inherit Xu Chu’s bloodline and expand the succubus division.

Most importantly, they might be good seedbeds for his sons in the future as the mermaids might not be enough for those horny orclings.

“Anything else?”

“A-Ah, yes,” Jia Wenhe coughed. “A few individuals requested an audience with you. They said that their… intellect… might be useful for your organization.”

Miaomiao frowned as he hated arrogant cultivators or overconfident cliché characters, “Who the fuck are the audacious idiots? Who dares to tell me they can manipulate me and my city?”

“Someone from the Guo Clan. Also, the Pang Clan sent their elders to meet with Pang Lingming last month and requested through him that the clan patriarch wanted to meet you.”

“Guo? Pang? Do you know the names?”

“I’m sorry. We only learned their surnames. Too many people wanted to meet you, so we only recorded the surnames, so we can categorize them.”

“Be more thoroughly next time.”

Jia Shan snickered, “Sometimes, I think you forgot about seniority and manner. Why don’t you do it yourself, disciple?”

Miaomiao froze for a moment as he remembered that his manner and ethic were terrible recently. He apologized, “Sorry, master.”

“You said sorry, but you don’t seem to be sorry at all.”

Miaomiao shrugged and placed a few items on the table before him.

The Heaven-Grade Sword and the Fire Dragon Blood Essence in a vial, which Miaomiao had obtained from the Protagonist Rematch Rewards, had been placed in front of Jia Shan.

“You complained that you lacked a weapon after we took the soul sword back. How about using this heaven-grade sword? It contains the spirit of a dragon.”

“Hoh? A dragon?” Jia Shan was interested.

“This blood essence also synergizes with the dragon sword. You see, it’s a drop fire dragon’s blood essence.”

Jia Shan’s eyes gleamed and beamed with a wide smile. He collected all items without hesitation, “Since you sincerely apologized, let the bygone be bygone. Even if you’re rude, you’re still my precious disciple.”

“… Yeah, sure.”

Jia Wenhe glanced at Jia Shan in envy. Shamelessly, he extended his hand and opened his palm, begging for gifts or bribery, “What about me? I’m your father-in-law and son-in-law. How about you show some respect to me sometimes, SON.”

“Call me FATHER, Wenhe.”

“Yes, daddy. Daddy is awesome! Red envelops, please.”

“…”

Miaomiao facepalmed, regretted that he teased Jia Wenhe too much that the latter took it seriously. Without a choice, Miaomiao gave him a basket with of Phoenix Dawn Cherries without giving him an explanation.

As an alchemist, Jia Wenhe could sense the hidden potential and power within the cherries. He drooled and bowed to his DADDY in glee.

“Thanks, DAD! I’ll be working hard for you!”

Jia Wenhe took the basket and dashed away like a naughty child.

Jia Shan and Miaomiao rubbed their foreheads and sighed.

“Master, please tell the guests to wait for a month. Tell them that I need to stabilize my cultivation after the long tribulation.”

“Sure. But if you want to do that, make a soundproof array before you start fucking your wives, alright?”

“… I really mean it when I said I need to cultivate.”

“Yeah, right.”

Jia Shan laughed and winked at him before he left.

Miaomiao was left alone in the mansion lobby. He leaned back and sighed, “Why no one believes me when I said I seriously wanted to rest and cultivate?”
