"Oh? They're okay."
Cao Mao hummed as he landed in front of Siren City, where several corpses of Myriad Cauldron Sect's combat alchemists and piles of ash had been gathered.
Ju Shoufen, Pang Lingming, Jia Wenhe, Ma Shoucheng, and Ma Ping had been cleaning the battlefield in front of their city. Even Kang Yan, Ju Chen, and other yin slaves came out to help.
The battle had ended before Cao Mao arrived.
When Cao Mao returned, everyone didn't pay attention to his new appearance as they recognized his life signature and his aura. However, once Ma Ping and other elders turned to welcome the troublemaker, they noticed the changes.
"Miaomiao, have you done something to your orc bloodline?"
Cao Mao tilted his head in confusion. But then, he realized that he had just evolved, but he didn't know how he looked at the moment.
"Ah, I got caught in a fight, and I was forced to do everything I could to survive. So… I ate Moxi's gold element pallet."
"…"
Ma Ping stared into Cao Mao's eyes. He was taken aback when he heard that Cao Mao had eaten Ma Moxi's gold element pallet, which was a priceless treasure.
The elder was dissatisfied at first since they could have gotten a lot of essence cores by selling the pallet. Yet, he forgave Cao Mao since the latter did it to survive.
"Oh, well. I even don't know when my grandson made that pill, but be sure to pay him back. I don't want friction between us since we're now working together."
"Ah, don't worry. I'll make sure to return the gold pallet in the future. It's just an immortal-grade pill, so it won't be difficult to make a new one, considering that my blood now contains gold element properties."
"…"
Ma Ping had many questions to ask Cao Mao, but he respected the latter's privacy. Everyone had a secret or two, and the elder didn't want to bother about it too much.
On the other hand, a certain nosy loli didn't think so.
"BRAT! EXPLAIN!!"
Of course, it was the voice of Ju Shoufen, the must-know-it-all member among the gang.
Jia Wenhe also wanted to know about Cao Mao's transformation. Yet, he kept his mouth shut. He was similar to Ma Ping as he respected his son-in-law's privacy.
Cao Mao didn't mind Ju Shoufen's behavior. On the contrary, he was happy that she paid attention to him. Although she was cold toward him on the surface, the latter was aware that she was just a tsundere.
After all, Ju Shoufen was always passionate when they dual-cultivated.
"Let's talk later when we get back to the dream space, okay?"
"Hmm! You'd better give me a thorough explanation of your evolution! I don't want my hus… my grandson-in-law to become a lawless monster!"
"Okay, okay!"
Cao Mao entered the city while Ju Shoufen opened the array gate for him.
Jia Wenhe only gazed at his mother-in-law with a complicated expression. Since it was well-known among the family members that Cao Mao's dream space could only be accessed by him and his yin slaves, Ju Shoufen being able to access the space meant that she had become one of Cao Mao's wives.
"… What should I call that brat from now on?"
No word could explain Jia Wenhe's feeling at the moment. It was a weird relationship between his daughter, mother-in-law, and his son-in-law. Now, he didn't know how he should treat the horny orc.
Jia Wenhe grumbled and averted his eyes, returning his attention to the corpses. He continued to search the bodies and looted anything useful.
…
Mao Xueyan and Dandan had made it back in one piece, and they moved to a newly-built two-story villa, using it as their new home. Fortunately, they had run into Ma Ping on their way back, and they united their forces to wipe out the pursuers.
Still, they worried about Cao Mao since he had been left to deal with Zhang Junyi and Fu De alone.
"Heyo! I'm home!"
Their worries were for nothing. The perverted guy had returned to the city unharmed.
Mao Xueyan and Dandan were glad. They went out to welcome him, but they were taken aback after they had seen his new appearance.
"You… become a full-fledged orc," The white cat cringed.
On the other hand, the tall girl's eyes sparkled as she was impressed, "Wow! You're so cool! Look at that muscle! Can I touch it!?"
At the moment, Cao Mao's new physique was a few centimeters taller than Dandan. The girl liked his new appearance so much that she clung to his arm, refusing to let him go.
It had been a while since she had met a manly guy, who was taller than her humanoid form.
Cao Mao sighed and patted Dandan's head like how he patted a kitten. Then, he turned to Xueyan, "You okay? Did those guys do anything to you?"
"Duh. Obviously, I'm not okay."
"What's wrong?"
"I depleted my Qi again, and I need a month or so to recuperate. I'm going back and rest."
"Sure."
Cao Mao didn't bother pursuing Xueyan about their bet since it was impropriated at the moment. Everyone was exhausted from the hard fight, and they needed rest.
As Mao Xueyan was turning back, she stopped, hesitating to say something. But in the end, she decided to let it out of her mind, "… Oh, hey."
"Yeah?"
"… Thanks for earlier. Your fire element Qi saved us."
"You're welcome."
Mao Xueyan returned to her villa, where the fox cub had been resting on the second floor.
Cao Mao was relieved that no one was hurt. He turned to his new house as he needed to check his wives, children, and pet geese.
But before that, something had been bothering Cao Mao for a while.
"Dandan?"
"Yes?" The tall girl was still hugging him, massaging his chest and arms. She didn't even look at his face when Cao Mao called her name.
"How long are you going to keep massaging my arms and chest?"
"Can't I keep touching you? It's firm and thick…"
"… You can, but will you take responsibility if I'm aroused?" Cao Mao pointed at his erected crotch.
Although Cao Mao could have taken advantage of Dandan now, he didn't feel like doing it at the moment since he was not out of the danger yet.
Cao Mao could sense the changes within his body. The curse spell that Zhang Junyi had cast on him was about to wear off, and his orc blood and gold element Qi had been boiling, threatening to go out of control. Fortunately, Cao Mao temporarily gathered half of them in his testicles and his little brother, so his dantian wouldn't be at risk of being self-destructed by the overwhelming Qi.
He needed to adjust to his new body or release the pending energy in his dick ASAP!
Dandan stared at Cao Mao's pitched tent for a moment. Then, she remembered the lessons that she had learned when her mother had taught her.
"OH! Are you perhaps in heat!? Do orcs have a mating season, too?"
"Err," Cao Mao also remembered that Dandan had mentioned something about the mating season. His devil side wanted to tell her that he was in the mating season, and he needed her help. However, the angelic side of Cao Mao warned him not to do anything to her, or his relationship with Mao Xueyan would have been ruined.
"Listen, Dandan."
"Mhm?"
"Humans and orcs don't have a mating season. They can mate whenever and wherever they want."
"Eh!? Really!? That's really convenient!"
Cao Mao sighed. He decided to be honest and refrain from tricking this innocent beast girl, "Yeah. It's dangerous if you keep tempting a male human or an orc. They might ravish you."
"Ravish me? But I'm not in season."
"They WILL ravish you regardless if you're in heat or not. Be careful with that."
"Mmm."
Dandan frowned. She reluctantly let go of her hands.
Cao Mao was relieved that Dandan was a quick learner. As long as he could keep their relationship professional, he believed that the alliance talk with Mao Xueyan's clansmen would be smoother and easier.
After all, Mao Xueyan was another nascent soul expert. Offending her by tricking her family was not a good idea. It was better to draw the line now or regret it forever.
But Dandan had another idea, "So, if you ravish me, I won't get pregnant, right?"
"Considering that your constitution and your mating season are similar to animals, you probably won't get pregnant."
Dandan's eyes gleamed, "Great! Then, let me use you to practice having real sex!"
"WUTDAFUQ!?"
The one that had screamed wasn't Cao Mao, but Mao Xueyan. She had returned since she didn't feel right leaving her sister with the perverted orc. Then, she had heard the conversation and was shocked by Dandan's stupid idea.
"STOP BEING AN IDIOT FOR ONCE AND GET YOUR ASS OVER HERE!"
Mao Xueyan used her domain ability and created a giant cat paw. She seized Dandan and pulled her toward their house.
Dandan screamed and shrieked in panic as her body was pulled into the house. Then, Xueyan shut the door and began giving her sister a loud sermon.
"…"
Cao Mao was speechless. Dandan was surprisingly loose since she had mentioned something about using him to practice.
Also, he was left hanging. He needed someone to vent before he could concentrate on pacifying his surging power.
Cao Mao looked around, searching if one of his yin slaves was nearby. He also used the ring to call them over.
However, the person who had shown up was Wei Yuan, who had come to welcome him home.
"Wow, you've changed a lot. You're … quite handsome."
Many things about him had changed after the fight with Zhang Junyi. Yet, Wei Yuan recognized Cao Mao's aura and his facial outline.
However, her taste was weird. Cao Mao wondered if other beastwomen or female demons were into buffed men or orcs like Wei Yuan and Dandan.
But for now, Cao Mao needed to relieve his stress.
"Good timing, Yuan'er. I need your help."
"Sure. What can I do for-KYAAA!!"
Cao Mao princess-carried Wei Yuan to her house. Then, the private victory celebration party had begun.
Wei Yuan's moaning was so loud that every elder rolled their eyes and shook their heads in resignation. Yet, they had a faint smile on their faces since this type of activity showed that everybody in the family was safe.
As for the yin slaves, including Kang Yan, Ma Xingjuan, and Ju Chen, they rushed toward the source of the noise in jealousy. The girls barged into Wei Yuan's house and demanded their turn.
Ju Shoufen was more reserved. She excused herself and returned to her house, waiting for Cao Mao to summon her into ITS.
…
A few minutes later, Ma Moxi also returned. However, he didn't enter the city right away as he had found all elders gathering outside the city.
Jia Wenhe, Ma Ping, Pang Lingming, Ma Shoucheng, and Jia Shan sat cross-legged in a circle, closing their eyes and meditating in solemn.
The ex-protagonist landed on the ground and dispelled his invisible skill. He cupped his fist and greet everyone, "Uncle, grandfather, Uncle Pang, Elder Jia, I'm home. I saw the pile of ashes and traces of fighting on the way here. What's happening here, senior?"
Nobody uttered a word. Yet, everybody's eyebrows twitched in annoyance.
They heard the loud moan again as someone had reached the climax.
"I'M CUMMING!!"
All Elders: "…"
Ma Moxi: "…"
Ma Moxi had a pokerface. He didn't say anything other than joining his seniors, sitting on an empty spot. Then, he closed his eyes and meditated along with the others.
None of them questioned where the yin slaves and Cao Mao's wives had gone.
A few minutes later, Zhao Bao arrived here with his disciples. Their carpet landed 10 meters away from the group of meditating people.
The monk gazed at the group in confusion. Although he had guessed that they had taken care of a few stray troublemakers around here, he didn't know why the elders and the young man didn't enter the city.
The children also tilted their heads, wondering why they had gathered here.
"AHN!! AHHH!"
Zhao Bao: "…"
Children: "…"
Zhao Bao shut his eyes. Then, he brought out a few talismans and settled a soundproof array around the children and the group of meditating cultivators so that they wouldn't be able to hear the sultry noise.
Then, the monk joined them, meditating and waiting for Cao Mao to finish his deed.
