Chapter 78
Seventy-Eighth Chapter – Asato Seiri: She just bullies me because I have no one under me! (Seeking flowers)
“Regarding the matter of the Seven Pavilions of Gold, Tzudoki, you should already be aware, right?”
“Hmm, I’ve heard about it.”
Tzudoki looked at Asato Seiri: “Isn’t it a joyous thing to see other clans thriving?”
“I don’t care if she develops herself.”
“But the Golden Clan shouldn’t overstep their boundaries!”
Due to Alpha’s aggressiveness, Asato Seiri felt immense pressure.
Because of this, she had no choice but to join forces with Tzudoki and Xue Ji in order to protect her own territory.
“What do you intend to do?”
Xue Ji said calmly: “Punish her? Or report her to Lord Bai Luo?”
“Let’s make one thing clear; this is something Lord Bai Luo has permitted. We have no right to question it.”
“I’m not stupid!”
Of course, Asato Seiri wouldn’t go to Bai Luo. That would be too embarrassing.
In student fights, the worst taboo is reporting to teachers or parents.
If that were done, the entire Blue Clan would never be able to hold their heads high again!
“Have you spoken to Alpha?”
“I have.”
Actually, the relationship between Asato Seiri and Alpha was quite good.
The two often discussed modern knowledge privately and could be considered good friends with many common interests.
But, there’s an old saying, isn’t there?
Precisely because they’re close, it makes it even more important to compete.
“What did she say?”
“Return the Ancient Capital to the Ancient Capital, return the Shadow World to the Shadow World.”
“What?”
Tzudoki didn’t understand the meaning of these words and hoped Asato Seiri could explain.
“It can be seen as tacitly agreed upon game rules.”
Asato Seiri and Alpha had reached a certain understanding.
Simply put, the Seven Pavilions of Gold would transform the entire Shadow World into Bai Luo’s private garden.
As for the Ancient Capital, it would be jointly managed by the other six kings.
There won’t be any life-and-death struggles between both sides, nor has it reached that level.
Under the premise of not affecting the unity of the seven clans, necessary competition will certainly not be lacking.
For example, both sides will inevitably compare their respective developments.
Is the construction outside by the Golden Clan better, or has the Ancient Capital been made more prosperous by them?
Occasionally, there could also be competitions between clans to see which side has more outstanding members.
These seven clans are like favored factions within a world.
The kings won’t personally intervene, but they can share their power with chosen clan members and use resources to cultivate them.
Bai Luo welcomes such development.
The only thing to note is that both sides need to control the degree of competition, avoiding chaos.
“Swish~ Swish~~”
“Crunch! Crunch crunch crunch!”
Asato Seiri was speaking enthusiastically when she looked up and saw Xue Ji leisurely fanning herself and Tzudoki completely immersed in the deliciousness of watermelon.
This made Asato Seiri feel quite helpless.
And when Asato Seiri noticed her gaze, Tzudoki quickly set down the watermelon juice, sat upright, and gave the appearance of having listened attentively.
“You guys really have a great attitude.”
Asato Seiri pinched her temples, feeling mentally exhausted.
She, a strong woman, couldn’t bear being outdone by someone like Alpha.
People strive for breath, Buddhas for incense.
How could a mere blonde girl dominate so arrogantly above her!
Privately, she was always called “Seyri-nee”.
Yet, before she knew it, Alpha had stirred up such a big commotion without a sound.
Asato Seiri: Is this the Queen of Gold? Indeed, scheming!
It must be admitted that the Queen of Gold in the K World is truly formidable.
But now that they’ve changed worlds, there’s no reason why the new Queen of Gold should still be invincible, right?
“Is the Queen of Gold on Seyri-nee’s side very powerful?”
“The strongest king!”
Among Authority Holders, there are distinctions in strength, and Silver and Gold are acknowledged as the strongest kings.
However, Bai Luo’s Authority Holder is unrelated to the K World.
His seven princes under his command do not have absolute differences in power; everyone is equal.
“That sounds impressive.”
“Do you have no thoughts, Tzudoki?”
Despite being the most violent Red King, Tzudoki has an exceptionally good temper.
At least, when not undergoing Oni Transformation, Tzudoki is undoubtedly the easiest to talk to among the Seven Kings.
“Nope.”
Tzudoki smiled and said: “I think the current life is wonderful.”
Tzudoki is originally a naive and romantic girl, unlike Asato Seiri who bears various burdens and concerns.
The only person she needs to take care of, her brother, is now on the right path and doesn’t require her attention anymore.
Honestly speaking, Tzudoki doesn’t quite understand Asato Seiri’s drive.
After all, the two represent fairly typical Japanese women.
Tzudoki belongs to the type of Yamato Nadeshiko, gentle in nature, non-contentious, and views her man as her whole world.
In contrast, Asato Seiri is more independent.
She has her own opinions.
Especially in public, Asato Seiri has a strong sense of career.
Of course, if Bai Luo wanted her to be a housewife, Asato Seiri would definitely listen obediently and become a gentle and considerate little woman.
“Tzudoki, you’re too easily satisfied.”
“Am I?”
Coming from a poor background, Tzudoki’s aspirations cannot match Asato Seiri’s grand ambitions: “To me, being able to eat such a large watermelon is already extremely joyful.”
Such a massive size and sweetness were luxuries beyond imagination for Tzudoki in the past!
The first time she saw so much fruit, Tzudoki and others like Butterfly Shinobu were utterly shocked.
Especially seeing Bai Luo cutting the watermelon in half and eating it with a spoon left a profound impression on everyone.
“I’ll assume you genuinely feel this way.”
Asato Seiri wasn’t entirely sure about Tzudoki’s true intentions, so she turned to Xue Ji hoping for her opinion.
“Though I wish to help you, reality doesn’t permit it.”
Xue Ji half-closed her eyes: “You know, we Beast People only number more than thirty.”
“Unless I go out and bring in more children, there’s no way we can catch up with Alpha’s development speed.”
In just half a month, Alpha brought back more than twenty demonically possessed individuals from outside.
At this rate, within a year, the Golden Clan could surpass five hundred members.
The speed of population growth is terrifying!
“Alpha can recruit people, theoretically, I naturally can too.”
“However, there’s a very troublesome issue here.”
Xue Ji: “I cannot guarantee that incoming Beast People don’t include spies from hostile forces!”
Indeed, this is the difference in loyalty between ordinary Beast People and demonically possessed ones.
Demonic Possession victims, each and every one, are pitiful souls abandoned by their original environments.
It’s almost impossible for traitors or spies to emerge from among them.
Even if they do, Bai Luo would have already used the girls’ innate magic power during their treatment to uncover everything related to them.
