It's all gone mad.
MaGold and Mujou are having an emergency meeting.
At the same time, they're also trying to contact Heaven's Pride but can't get through.
"Is that old monkey truly crazy?"
"I knew he was obsessed with NPCs, but to the point of giving away everything? It's the first time I've seen that."
Mujou said while taking a drag from his cigarette, scratching his head as he looked at the news.
"Anyway, his act of giving over half of the current territory to the Thousand Tails Yaoguai King will undoubtedly cause significant upheaval."
"Can't we request the authorities to strip Heaven's Pride of the territory he gave to the Yaoguai Race?"
Mujou curiously asked.
MaGold could only shake his head.
"It would be a relief if that were possible, but territory ownership is confirmed by the System, not humans. I'm not entirely sure, but I don't think the powers will act immediately."
"Especially since interfering with territory rights conflicts with the Foreigner's Association."
"And now it's also meddling directly with the Yaoguai Race."
"Let me ask you, have the Yaoguai Race ever attacked or harmed anyone?"
Mujou could only shake his head at that question.
"So that means the locals won't take action unless the Yaoguai Race starts any hostility."
"Yes, currently the Yaoguai Race only holds ownership and uses the resources; they haven't caused harm to the populace."
"There's not enough reason for the powers to provoke a war with the Yaoguai Race."
"Especially since the Demon God has just been born."
Mujou clicked his tongue.
They weren’t foolish; they understood the significance of Heaven's Pride handing over more than half the territory.
The newly formed guild, Nonsense.
Will be supported by the Yaoguai Race.
In the next Territory Battle, can they still hold onto their stronghold?
Just one Yaoguai King is already stronger than any boss currently in the game.
Mujou gritted his teeth as he looked at the news.
"MaGold, what do you think?"
He stayed silent for a while, finally gulping before speaking.
"There's only submission to the Yaoguai Race."
"Hand over all territory to the Thousand Tails Yaoguai King."
"That's the only way we can get through this mess created by that scoundrel Heaven's Pride."
"Damn it!""Wasted Immortal Wine that I gave him!" Mujou sighed.
"Let's go at once. The longer we wait, the more we'll suffer."
.
.
.
The Thousand Tails Yaoguai King sipped a cup of tea.
The long day had yet to end.
Soon, as the Thousand Tails Yaoguai King anticipated, the Yaoguai Rabbit would announce that two more individuals from afar wanted an audience.
This tale has been unlawfully lifted without the author's consent. Report any appearances on Amazon.
However, the unexpected had begun.
"My lord, Heaven's Pride has returned to the Grand Hall!"
.
.
.
Mujou and MaGold hurriedly went together to request an audience with the Thousand Tails Yaoguai King.
Of course, it cost them a significant amount in bribes to secure a meeting on the same day.
Both knelt down and paid their respects.
Then they expressed their intentions.
"Your Highness, the Thousand Tails Yaoguai King, we have come here to submit to the Yaoguai Clan and offer you nearly half of the territory belonging to the Foreigner's Association. We only wish to maintain the territory under the name of the Foreigner's Association."
MaGold spoke boldly.
The Thousand Tails Yaoguai King looked at them.
And smiled."Thank you for your kindness, but this gift..."
"Unless it's directly given to the The Nonsense Guild... I won't accept it."
What...?
The words struck like a bolt from the blue.
MaGold's face went pale.
Mujou couldn't believe his ears either.
"Why...!? We also wish to surrender and support you, aiding the Yaoguais! If you don't accept it, aren't you afraid the Yaoguais will cause chaos for such a rash decision!?"
Inside, MaGold was filled with anger, growing increasingly tense.
However, at that moment, an overwhelming pressure was exerted.
They didn't have the protective gear like the Majesty Emperor to withstand it.
They had to kneel immediately.
The system screen continually flashed negative effects.
"Who manages the Yaoguais, you or me?"
The Thousand Tails Yaoguai King replied indifferently.
"How dare you show such disrespect to the Yaoguai King!"
The Golden Monkey and Golden Dog also raised their weapons.
"Alright, I'll give you a chance—submit your territory to the Nonsense Guild, then join the Yaoguais, otherwise, from now on, you will be our adversaries."
MaGold felt a chill down his spine at those words.
"Is it because of Heaven's Pride...?" Mujou was both anxious and furious.
"You could think that," the Thousand Tails Yaoguai King nodded.
"Damn it," Mujou cursed under his breath.
"Let's go, MaGold."
.
..
The two individuals left.
At this moment, the Thousand Tails Yaoguai King finally relaxed, stood up, and left the Grand Hall.
The matters were settled.
These were the last two people she had to meet today.
Heaven's Pride really anticipated that the other two of the Three Top Individuals would come.
His intentions were straightforward.
Pray that I do not accept their territory unless they agree to hand it over to the Nonsense Guild.
"Their territory, I'll bring it back to you anyway."
If it were just that, the Thousand Tails Yaoguai King would not have agreed immediately.
However, Heaven's Pride had reasons that compelled her to accept.
The Guild War, also called Territory War.
This is a battle for territories where only those from the Foreigner's Association can receive rewards from it.
It's the reason why those two were willing to surrender their territories.
In terms of reputation, the entire territory belongs to the Yaoguais.
But the rewards from the Territory Battle, they still receive.
Their willingness to submit was to avoid losing benefits.
Instead, they allowed Heaven's Pride to invade the territories.
The players' rewards would include a portion given to her as well.
She understood this and had no intention of taking all of it.
Because even if she captured all the territory, they would still need the Distant Association people.Without rewards or punishments, there will be no motivation.
Those two, once the Yaoguais have taken command, will inevitably have to submit.
After hearing Heaven's Pride's explanation about the Territory Battle, the Thousand Tails Yaoguai King couldn't help but chuckle to herself.
"So, in the end, the reason you handed the territory to me was for personal gain?"
Heaven's Pride laughed heartily at her question.
"My only personal gain is wanting to have you."
"If I wanted money for myself, I would still keep the guild leader's badge for myself."
"I just don't want the brothers in my guild to lose their benefits because of my choices."
"To me, they're like brothers; to you, they're like kinfolk. Surely, we share this commonality?"
She smiled, gently applauding Heaven's Pride.
"Alright. I shall follow your lead."
"I've always admired those who consider more than just themselves. I won't make things difficult for your brothers."
Heaven's Pride laughed joyfully.
"As for the remaining territories, leave them to me."
"In the next Guild War, I'll conquer the entire realm and present it to you."
At this moment, the Thousand Tails Yaoguai King was truly intrigued.
A major variable was indeed a tonic for her ailments.
Especially when that variable brought so many benefits.
The Game between the Yaoguais and humans had increasingly leaned in one direction.
. . .
After Heaven's Pride departed, the Thousand Tails Yaoguai King silently watched his departing silhouette.
It reminded her of a long-forgotten past.
Then she began to give orders to the Yaoguai Rabbit.
"Quickly prepare a portion of Premium Yaoguai Elixir as a reward for Heaven's Pride. Let him choose the type of Yaoguai Elixir he prefers."
The Yaoguai Rabbit nodded repeatedly and took off like the wind to carry out the command.This time, Heaven's Pride has become a great hero for the Yaoguais.
Rewarding him with the Yaoguai Elixir is understandable.
The Yaoguai Elixir is an item that transforms outsiders into members of the Yaoguais.
Depending on the type of Yaoguai Elixir, it can transform them into different species.
However, some types of Yaoguai Elixir are much rarer than others.
Yaoguai Elixirs for the Wolf Tribe, Cat Tribe, and Rat Tribe are relatively easy to find.
But elixirs for the Water Fox, Wu Gong, Flying Tiger, and others are extremely difficult to come by, not to mention the Divine Elixirs like those of the Divine Tiger or Blessed Dragon.
This is an affirmation that Heaven's Pride will join the Yaoguais.
In just a single day, Heaven's Pride has ascended to a position surpassing even the Yaoguai Rabbit, being favored more than even the Yaoguai General.
Truly intimidating.
