--- Chapter 247 ---
Baek Ain lay down on the couch lazily.
After returning to the Diamond Lustre City, he imdiately rested in the Fortune Chamber of Comrce. He wasn't tired and only calmly digested the surprise he got from helping Zi Yan.
Fiendgod Lightning Void Dragon is a Forbidden Beast that even Baek Ain has never heard of before. It possessed a power that could potentially tip off the balance of the upper realms.
Indeed, we are talking about the Great Thousand World and Heaven Genesis World's order and chaos here.
"How is the situation?" Yafei placed a tray of snacks for him.
Baek Ain lazily popped roasted chestnuts into his mouth and answered, "It is manageable."
"The Jia Nan Academy was on the verge of destruction. Losing the Fallen Heart Fla really dealt a heavy blow to their defensive and offensive ability."
"Thankfully, they could last long enough for us to co."
"That's good then," said Yafei with a faint smile. "I've done my parts, too, and gained intelligence that the Blood Demon was only one-third of the whole group."
"The Hall of Souls has launched a random attack all over the Central Plains, it seems."
"They are looking for sothing or maybe soone..."
"They are always like that." Baek Ain snorted unhappily, popping a roasted Chestnut into his mouth again. "If not, I wouldn't have a chance to adopt Zi Yan as my sister."
A weird light flashed in Yafei's eyes.
"Say, Ain..."
"I've been noticing patterns recently."
"A few years ago, you were gathering harem mbers left and right."
"I didn't." Baek Ain helplessly replied. "It was fate who destined us to be together."
"A coincidence."
"What a shaless yet honey-covered tongue you had there." Yafei pouted, looking very adorable.
"Hehe." Baek Ain could only chuckle at her comnt.
Yafei leaned on his shoulder, "Well, let's repeat it..."
"I've noticed a pattern."
"At first, you gathered harem mbers."
"Then, disciples..." She coyly circled her finger on Baek Ain's chest. "After Zi Yan, don't tell you're going to gather more adopted sisters from now on."
"Are you telling this was a coincidence, too?"
"..." Baek Ain broke into a cold sweat. He didn't have a defense for this accusation.
Even though Baek Ain wanted to say those are coincidences, they are indeed becoming patterns at this point. As the saying goes, once is an accident, twice is luck, and thrice is a statistic.
His passive skills are too powerful.
Fortunately, Baek Ain kept his Golden Rod in his pants, or else won would fall in love with him left and right.
Looking at Baek Ain's nervous look, Yafei covered her mouth and giggled in amusent, "Hehe, don't be like that."
"I'm not mad or anything."
"I was just wondering if you're doing this consciously."
"I don't know what to say... It just sorta happened." Baek Ain answered with a helpless tone.
"Hmm..." Yafei humd, giving him a peck. "Don't worry. If the Queen of Harem, Sister Cai Ling, could understand your way, I also have no problem."
She winked, "I'm just afraid that one day you will get ensnared by 'bad' won."
"Aren't you a bad woman, too?" Baek Ain was stunned and teased her back.
"Hehe, is that how you see ?"
"Haa, I can't seem to win."
"Well... I'm a bad woman. I'm your bad woman."
Cough! Cough!
"I didn't intend to ruin your flirty banter. Unfortunately, we have a case here." Soone cleared her throat.
Bai Yuxian stood near the entrance, carrying a dossier for Yafei, and had a flushed appearance. She was jealous that Yafei could flirt around with Baek Ain.
Of course, she did not show it.
Then, again. It was Yafei's privilege.
What could a lowly secretary like Bai Yuxian do against her boss?
So, after catching them red-handed, Bai Yuxian could only separate them with this petty cough.
Yafei awkwardly fixed her hair and clothes before returning to her CEO Mode.
'As expected of my wife.' Baek Ain praised inwardly.
Bai Yuxian handed the dossier to Yafei, allowing her to skim the content with a calm gaze. Well, it didn't last long.
Yafei's eyes widened before she forcibly cald herself down.
"Haa... Hall of Souls is doing sothing bad again."
"This ti, they even collaborated with an unorthodox side of Dou Qi Continent."
"What do you an?" Hearing this, Baek Ain couldn't help but frown.
Yafei sighed and handed the dossier to Baek Ain.
Baek Ain read the dossier carefully, and his hazel-gold eyes glimred with utter coldness after a few seconds. Even though Bai Yuxian and Yafei could tell Baek Ain was calming his rage, the tile around him cracked and was on the verge of exploding.
The materials used to construct this office are top-notch in the Dou Qi Continent. So materials were 'literally' sought after by Half-Saint and even Dou Saint Experts.
Yet Baek Ain breaks them like fragile wafers.
'I can't see his strength anymore. Ain's travel to Heaven Genesis World has brought a heaven-defying breakthrough for himself.' Yafei thought solemnly.
'Even a slight leak could destroy the Diamond Lustre City.'
'Ain's self-control is too strong.'
Baek Ain closed the dossier and threw it on the table. "The Jade Demon Sect and Heavenly Feather Sect have allied themselves with the Hall of Souls, swallowing nearly all forces in the Demonic Region."
"They led a siege to many towns, harvesting Blood Energy and Innocent Souls." He closed his eyes.
"Their newest target, Fallen Orchid Sect."
"Lan Rou should be there," Yafei said confidently. "After separating from the group, she said she wanted to return ho and enter seclusion."
"This... Can the Fallen Orchid Sect handle the Three Evil Sects without Ms. Rou?" Bai Yuxian panicked. The siege of Hall of Souls, Jade Demon Sect, and Heavenly Feather Sect is a terrifying lineup.
"They can't." Baek Ain replied while shaking his head.
"The Fallen Orchid Sect has grown stronger, but they are still far from contesting three superpowers at once."
"Of course, these superpowers an nothing to ." He coldly added.
"Even then, I'm a little worried because this news was from yesterday, and my Divine Soul actually missed it compared to the Ancient Void Dragon Tribe's fall."
[That's because the Demonic Region is unique. It has a disturbance field that disturbs soul-related sense] Alicia suddenly comnted.
[Well, you don't have to break a sweat if you want to visit them, Host]
[Your Break Space Skill and Spatial Manipulation have allowed you to break deep space layers, allowing you to travel through dinsions, worlds, and even universes with enough mastery]
'I know.' Baek Ain replied calmly.
He stared at Yafei and Bai Yuxian, "Call Yunyun, Bingbing, and Zi Yan. We are going to the Demonic Region."
...
...
Demonic Region, Fallen Orchid Sect.
After Baek Ain left, the Fallen Orchid Sect grew silently and has fostered quite a lineup of experts. However, they couldn't possibly handle the siege of Three Evil Powers.
At the mont, their sect is 'literally' surrounded from all sides. They couldn't even run.
All the elders gathered in the eting room.
Lan Guan, Lan Tianxue, and Land Mingxi sat beside each other and silently thought in a heavy atmosphere.
"How is the damage?" asked Lian Tianxue, the Sect Leader of the Fallen Orchid Sect.
One elder opened his mouth but hesitated, "The formation won't last long..."
"If they are attacking us with this pace."
"We could only last for another two or three days."
"Three days at best..." The Vice-Sect leader, Lan Mingxi, sighed heavily.
"We should call Aunt out."
"We can't!" Lan Guan comnted with a dark expression. "She was in her seclusion to break through into peak Dou Saint. We can't disturb her, or else there would be a problem..."
Hearing this, everyone sighed deeply.
Lan Guan also felt this situation was unfair and mumbled, "If only Ain were here."
"Ain..." Lan Tianxue and Lan Mingxi's eyes beco glassy.
The day Baek Ain proposed to them a marriage, they rejected it because they felt they didn't deserve a spot in his heart. He was still young and deserved a wider world than them.
Even then, Baek Ain still accepted them as his concubines and even gifted them many treasures. Not to ntion the parasite armors, they reached the peak of Dou Venerate Realm with the resources he gave.
But their strength is far from enough.
With Ain around, they wouldn't have to be afraid of anything.
Sadly, they didn't even know where he was right now.
