Chapter 804 - So They Did

Roan also passed the orders to the high-level demon beasts, who used their Spiritual Senses to tell the nigh uncountable number of demon beasts in the army. Of course, the humans and Freedom Sect members also received the same orders. Well, Roan had more or less accomplished his objective in this region, so he would need to wait for Phex to hear what else he wanted.

Back in Watisan City, Rean and Red were staying in a room prepared by the Hafel Clan in secret. They didn't have much to do, so they simply cultivated to pass the time. One must remember that once Rean and Roan were too far away, they couldn't use the Soul Gem System. That being said, neither of them could enter the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm. They couldn't even hear Sister Orb. All Rean and Roan could do was feel each other's presence.

Suddenly, the door of their room opened as Sevinia made her way in. On her hand, she had a jade slip, which she then threw at Rean. Naturally, Rean took it before sending his Spiritual Sense inside to see what it was contained. "Oh! That was faster than I thought. It seems like your Hafel Clan already got quite the achievement. If you weren't there to stop Roan's army, they would have broken through the defense in Pofril Country and marched into Tulique Region. That would place another high-level territory at risk after the Zasfins lost Iowe Country."

Sevinia was obviously satisfied that they obtained that achievement. In just one move, the position of the Hafel Clan in the Soul Rulers' headquarters improved a lot. At the very least, it shut the mouths of those demanding harsher punishments for their clan. Nevertheless, she couldn't help but feel annoyed at Rean's smug expression. "Hmph! Don't be so happy just yet. This is just the start. After the Zasfin Armies arrive there, we'll be able to take our own army out of there and use it for the next phases."

Rean nodded in response as he got up with Red, saying, "True. However, you know that for it to work, I can't stay here. I need to head back. Say, has my contact arrived yet?"

Sevinia nodded as she replied, "I didn't expect you to ask your own woman to fill that role. I've obtained a report that she just arrived at the point you marked on the map. Just like you mentioned, we'll pretend that she's one of our slaves and bring her around with our army."

"That's good. I believe that this is the best way to prove my sincerity after what I just did. By the way, how many Zasfins above the Elemental Transformation Realm does your Hafel Clan have other than Vance and Duran?" Rean asked soon after.

Sevinia narrowed her eyes again but decided to answer, saying, "You can't count Ancestor Duran as one of them. Anyways, other than him, we have three of them. Vance, obviously, is one of them."

Rean was satisfied with that answer. "Alright. Shall we go then?"

Red's eyes lit up as he quickly jumped on Rean's shoulder, asking, "So, we're finally leaving? I thought I was gonna die of boredom in this place."

Sevinia nodded in response to Rean's words as she brought Rean and Red out. Soon after, a member of the Hafel Clan that she trusted took them out of Watisan City to the place where Qia was waiting. 

"Rean!" She couldn't help but become tearful as she jumped on Rean's arms. 

Of course, Rean wasn't Roan, so he more than welcomed it. Rean quickly gave her a kiss before laughing out loud. "Hahaha! How are you, girl? It's good that you didn't die during your time outside." Rean was obviously happy to see that she was fine. 

"Hmph! How could I die that easily? I still haven't given you a child, remember?" Qia was so happy that she didn't mind her words at all.

Rean scratched the back of his head after hearing that. A child was something he couldn't think about at all. At least, not at this moment anyway. "Alright, alright."

Rean then looked at the Zasfin beside him before asking, "Can you give us some time alone? We haven't seen each other for quite some time, you know?"

The Zasfin wasn't very happy to be treated so casually by a human. Nevertheless, he had strict orders, so he left the place.

After that, Rean asked, "Did Roan tell you why I needed you here?"

Qia nodded, saying, "Yes. I'll have to stay with the Hafel Clan to be the link between you and them for your plan to work." Though, Qia couldn't help but ask soon after, "Still, why would you ask me instead of someone else in our group? Aren't you worried about me?"

Rean quickly shook his head, explaining his thoughts, "I am worried about you. But only someone as important as you are to me would put the Hafel Clan at ease. Don't worry. For their own sake, they can't do anything to you. Things would only become worse in case someone finds out about our deal. However, the ones who know of it are only you, me, Sevinia, and one of their ancestors. Of course, Roan knows about it as well, but he's in the hands of the demon beasts."

"Hmph! I still feel like I'm a sacrifice or something like that." Unsurprisingly, Qia still complained. However, she did like the part where Rean mentioned she was important to him. She knew the risks of this plan, but it wasn't any less dangerous for the twins. After all, if it failed, they would have to deal with the demon beasts instead.

Rean then patted the girl's head, saying, "Hopefully, it won't last long. Don't worry, I already talked with Sevinia, and you'll be well treated during your time following their army. There will be no lack of resources for you to cultivate either."

"That's more like it." Qia eventually nodded after hearing that. Usually, someone wouldn't accept such a role so easily. However, she still remembered how Rean and Roan were the ones who basically took care of her during her first years on this planet. She hasn't done much for the twins so far, so she decided to accept it.

Qia then grabbed Rean's waist before saying, "It won't be a problem if we enjoy this moment a little longer, right?"

Rean couldn't help but ask, "In a place like this?"

"Can't you get it up just because of it?" Qia asked in response.

"You girl..."

However... "Ahem...don't mind me. I'm just air."

Sure enough, Red was still there, which Qia failed to notice because of his concealment ability. "We already have a pervert bird, and now we have a pervert rabbit as well. Just what is wrong with your demon beast friends?"

Rean laughed out loud as he took Red from his shoulder, introducing him to Qia. "This one here is Red. He's a Golden Drohare. It's thanks to him that I was able to enter Watisan City without having my true identity revealed."

Red snorted in response, saying, "Hmph! Who said this lord is a pervert? I was just trying to be mindful of your special moment. Don't worry, I'm a demon beast, so I don't care about the procreation act between humans."

Rean then took out a carrot from his bag and showed it to Red, telling him, "If you give us some time alone, you can have it."

"Deal!" Red quickly grabbed the carrot and disappeared like smoke.

Unlike Roan, Rean really wanted to have some alone time with Qia, so they did.
