Villain Cultivator

103 Emergency Evacuation 2

8 AM

Mountain Goose Sect, Grand Hall

Wei Huang and all Wei clansmen were frowning in anger as the groom's party had not arrived yet. The appointment time was 30 minutes ago, but none of them showed up.

"Father, can you contact Xu Xiuying? Why are they so late?"

Wei Cao was in a bad mood. Having his daughter violated in public was humiliating enough, but the troublemaking groom coming late for the wedding was unacceptable.

Wei Huang also had the same thought, but the previous texts that he sent to Xu Xiuying were still unread. The succubus had not even picked up the phone.

"Something's wrong. Xu Xiuying hasn't picked up the phone or read the message."

"How about the brat? Have you called him?"

"Not yet. I'll try."

Wei Huang decided to call Xu Miao.

Unlike Xu Xiuying, Xu Miao picked up the call.

[I know why you've called.]

Wei Huang's phone was on loudspeaker mode. All wedding staff and Wei clansmen could hear Xu Miao's voice.

"What the fuck are you trying to do!? Do you know what time it is!?"

[The imperial chancellor blocked my carriage and threatened to enslave my colleagues. Xu Xiuying and Xu Lanying are missing, but I heard that the imperial men must have something to do with their disappearance.]

Everyone in the grand hall murmured and looked at each other.

If the imperial chancellor appeared here uninvited, they might have come for the space-and-time technique of Xie Tian. Furthermore, the influx of travelers in the city indicated that many rogue cultivators were interested in the technique as well.

Currently, the hot potato was in Xu Xiuying's hands, which might be the reason why the Silver Phoenix Sect was having trouble.

Wei Huang's face grimaced. Had Xu Miao never had a relationship with Wei Yuan, he would have joined forces with the visitors or the imperial chancellor to raid Xu Xiuying's brothel. For the sake of his granddaughter's happiness and the support from the Xu Clan, the oni lord decided to help.

"Where are you right now?"

[The spa house. We're evacuating from the brothel.]

"And where are you planning to go?"

[Anywhere but here.]

Wei Huang had an idea. This move might kill several birds with one stone, "Evacuate all your sect members to the mountain goose sect ASAP. Be sure to take everything and everyone since there are many uninvited guests in town. I'll send my men to escort you out."

The oni lord took this opportunity to trick Xu Miao into merging his remaining forces with his clan. If Xu Miao decided to shelter under the Wei Clan, all remaining disciples and elders from the brothel would automatically join Wei Huang's organization. All treasures and resources that the Silver Phoenix branch had would add to the Wei Clan's power.

Everything should benefit Wei Huang and his clan if Xu Miao was a na?ve youth. Unfortunately, Wei Huang didn't know that Xu Miao had fed up with all the machinations from clan leaders.

[No thanks. I have my plans. Do me a favor, though. Please tell Wei Yuan that I'm sorry for ditching the wedding. Love you \u003c3]

Wei Huang's face reddened, but it became blue after a minute. He fumed with rage that his grandson-in-law had the guts to abandon Wei Yuan and the baby in her belly.

"YOU'D BETTER GET YOUR ASS OVER HERE, OR I'LL HUNT YOU DOWN TO THE END OF THE CONTINENT!!"

[Oh, you don't have to worry. I'll pay you a visit when I'm ready. WHEN. I. AM. READY.]

"OH, SURE!! THEN, I'LL ANNOUNCE TO THE WORLD THAT YOU POSSESS A HEAVEN-GRADE WEAPON AND VALUABLE TREASURES FROM THE MONSTER REALM, SO ALL CULTIVATORS WILL TRACK YOU AND HUNT YOU DOWN FOR THE TREASURES!!"

*Beep*

Xu Miao had already hung the phone before Wei Huang could finish his yelling.

In frustration and anger, Wei Huang threw his J-Phone to the floor and broke it. His bloodshot eyes flared and his killing intent exploded.

"FROM HERE ON OUT, XU MIAO IS ON TOP OF OUR HIT LIST!! SPREAD WORDS!! I WANT HIM HERE, ALIVE!!"

Wei Huang's subordinates sweated and shrunk in fear. Yet, they bowed to the oni lord and rushed out to relay the order.

.

In the bride's room, Wei Yuan was in the red wedding dress, waiting for her father and grandfather to call her to the grand hall. She was playing with her bride's headwear veil as she had the urge to cut a few holes to make a unique artwork.

*VRRRR*

Her phone vibrated. Someone sent her a text message.

Wei Yuan put her headwear away and looked at the phone.

[I'm sorry. My sect is under attack. I can't go to the wedding.]

Wei Yuan's heart sank. Not that she was concerned about Xu Miao, she was worried that the child in her belly might not have a father.

She texted back, "Where are you right now?"

[Somewhere underground. I can't pinpoint my exact location.]

"Run to the mountain goose sect! My family can protect you!"

[Sorry. That's not possible.]

"Why!?"

[I have my personal reasons.]

"Name three. If you can't, get your ass over here and be a proper parent for my child!"

Wei Yuan and Xu Miao's relationship had not reached the level of lovers yet. They were currently sex friends with the complication of a child in her belly. Now, she only wanted the baby to have a warm family.

Thus, Wei Yuan didn't want the child's father to leave or abandon her. The child needed a father.

Unfortunately, Xu Miao could be a dick sometimes.

[Name three? Sure. First, I have a curse that I'll die in a year if I don't complete a task. Second, you should have known by now that I'm not Xu Xiuying's biological son. She is up to no good, and my life is being threatened daily over here. I need to escape from Xu Xiuying's influence. And lastly, I'm doing this for your sake!]

"For my sake? You must be delusional. What can you do to help me by running away from our wedding!? You're ruining our reputation! What will people say behind our back that my husband ran away from my wedding!?"

[LISTEN, WOMAN! IF I'M WITH YOU, WE'LL BOTH DIE!!]

Although angry, Wei Yuan stopped typing and reread all Xu Miao's texts again. She took several deep breaths to calm down and tried to think with logic, not her emotion.

Wei Yuan bit her lower lips and swallowed her tears. A wedding ceremony was something that all girls were looking forward to becoming a beautiful bride. It was her dream and fantasy, but it was about to be ruined by her future husband.

While Wei Yuan was in deep thought, Xu Miao explained.

[I know that I'm not fair to you, but I promise you this. I'm a man with responsibility. I'll be back and take you and our child with me when I'm strong enough.]

"And how long will that be?"

[When I'm stronger than Wei Huang and everyone in your clan.]

Wei Yuan chuckled as tears ruined her makeup. A colorful water drop rolled on her cheeks and dirtied her face.

Wei Huang was a 6th-stage demon cultivator, whose strength was comparable to an early 7th-stage human cultivator. Averagely, it took a human at least 100 years to reach the 7th stage, 50 years or less if the person was a top genius. Moreover, only less than 20% of cultivators could live that long since they might die prematurely from random combats.

Judging from Xu Miao's words with Wei Yuan's perspective, he just told her to wait for a hundred years!

Wei Yuan wanted to curse Xu Miao out loud, but she suppressed her anger. Although it might be nearly impossible, Xu Miao had the potential to reach that stage sooner.

"You'd better not make me wait for a hundred years! If you don't show up within two or three years, I'll fucking find a new husband!"

[Well, if you're up for a risky lifestyle, we can elope.]

Wei Yuan froze. She wiped her tears and glared at the phone. She forgot that she couldn't intimidate Xu Miao via texts, but she released her full killing intent.

"… You just fucking said that we'll both die if we're together."

[If we're under the protection of the Wei Clan or the Xu Clan, we're dead. But if you're with me, your life will be difficult. We might have to live in poverty and hide from the public's eyes. We might have to sleep in a slum or in a sewer. The Xu Clan and the Wei Clan will constantly send men to capture or kill us. Our child won't be able to grow up in a good environment.]

"…"

[It's up to you. If you care for our child, wait for me there. If you're confident that you can handle some hardship, you can come with me. I won't force you.]

Wei Yuan took out a handkerchief to wipe her tear. She glanced at the nearby mirror to see her messy face. Yet, she smiled.

"I like living dangerously."

[You're a masochistic bitch. It was like a 5-second decision! Don't you have a second thought about our child's welfare!?]

"You don't have the right to lecture me about parenting! Tell me where you are, and how I can meet you!"

[…]

Xu Miao stopped sending texts, which worried Wei Yuan. Still, she cleaned her face and changed her clothes, preparing to sneak out of the mountain goose sect.

'Hi!'

Suddenly, a female voice came from the window behind Wei Yuan. She turned around and took out her weapon.

Before Wei Yuan, a semi-transparent ghost with Xu Xiuying's face was floating and smiling at her.

'My master is working me hard today. Come with me if you want to meet my master.'

Wei Yuan was shocked. She thought that Xu Xiuying had died and become a ghost, "W-Who are you!? Who is your master?"

White Album smiled, 'My master? He's your husband.'
