Mr Snail, We love the story, we hate the MC, we make a story without him. For free of course, we don't want you to get Mad at me.

"Are we going to wait for them here?" Asked Lanruo, "That bitch needs to run for a few days before she reaches a sentry. And it will take a day to return here."

Ziyun complained, "I am not going to sit here for a week, let's have some fun first."

10 Fun.

I smiled, "I like fun, I always want to make time for Fun."

Ning'er dryly commented, "For that kind of fun you have to wait for tonight, Yang'er, we're going shopping."

They turned and went to the market, followed by me… no bloody comments! This one gets pussy every day, so a bit of shopping won't hurt a bit, there might even be some good books for sale. See? Not whipped at all, it is too soon for that kind of play… Way too soon. Too bad, the market was closed, people were afraid of us and stayed indoors.

The old man approached us still with his arms full of herbs, "Young Master and Mistresses, if you go in that direction you will find Trade Town. That Town is a neutral place for all thirteen Families and has a big marketplace. I am sorry for the betrayal of our Town leaders, they repaid your goodwill with treason, we have no excuse."

Ziyun smiled at the old man, "No harm done, elder, we had fun dealing with those bird people. We would have brought guards along if we could not defend ourselves."

Lanruo showed a Blood Crystal to the old man, "Elder, do you know where we can buy these Crystals? We will pay a good price for them."

The old man nodded, "The Silver Winged Family have slaves mining them in their mine, the Scarlet Ghost Demon Beasts have them in their bodies too sometimes."

I looked up, "Ah? That is what they are called? We named them Ghost-Faced Monkeys, you are right with the Ghost though, they are butt ugly."

Ning'er was stubborn, "Market first, Yang'er, we can kill those monkeys later."

We arrived at Trade Town after a short trip, flying at high speed… low speed, we could not let the wind mess with their hairdo, something every female is protective of. That is why Convertible Cars are only attractive for males to show off. Take your girlfriend for a day trip and you won't get any that night, they need a few hours to get the knots out of their hair. That never happened to me though, I could not afford a Convertible, I could at most stick my head out of the window.

Where was I? Yeah, self-pity pity, a common flaw of the males who never won the lottery… there are a lot of us!

Well, here is the marketplace, and here is my dilemma, do I act as the Young Master and walk in front of the wives, or do I follow after them? As any Young Master you like to strut down the market, do it in front of the wives, you will lose them at the first clothing stall, and you be strutting alone. Stay behind them, you can control what they are buying and keep an eye on them… you look like a whipped wimp though.

The wimp followed the girls, I tried strutting first, but I lost them in five minutes. I made some deals too, an old man was selling books from the Woodland Empire Era, his family fell into hard times and needed to sell their treasures to get food on the table.

Out of sight, I handed him a storage ring with dry food, filled with bags of Rice, Wheat, and Barley. Softly I said, "Look what is inside this ring, Elder. You can have it all and the ring is included for all your books. Do you agree?"

With shaking hands the old man checked the contents of the ring, there was enough food to feed his family for years or get him killed tomorrow. Having wealth is only good if you are capable of keeping it, otherwise, it is a death sentence.

The old guy looked up at me and nodded, "I agree, Young Master." he put the ring in his pocket.

I thought for a minute and said, "In fact, you can help me out here, we are from the outside world and we could use more people in our City and fields, we have no lack of food for the ones that want to work. In this ring is the same amount of food as in yours, can you distribute them among the people here and tell them that the outside world welcomes immigrants. We are also trying to buy Blood Crystals and are willing to pay a good price for it. We will return next week and take them along when we return to our world."

Soon, the old man was the center of attention, the girls glared at me, even the shopkeepers were circling the old man to get a bag of rice, it ruined their fun. I say it again, shopping females are scary.

I noticed an old man hobble slowly over the marketplace, the odd thing about that old man was the killing intent he was oozing, although the girls and I were the only ones feeling it. Weary, we watched him pass us by, that must be that old man who was after Emperor Kong Ming's Legacy.

I avoided that bag of problems, Kong Ming left a stone tablet with his intent in this Realm for the ones capable of fighting over it, that old man and some others already had it, so why do I need to stick my head in that hornet's nest? I don't think so too, although the insight on that stone tablet would increase my cultivation a lot, the return is not worth the risk.

The old man kept on mumbling the chant he learned from Kong Ming, "Infinity has no beginning, no beginning can have no end."

I could not help commenting, "That is not necessarily true, Grandfather, Infinity can have infinite starting points and infinite ends. Like a circle has no beginning and no end, yet when you draw a circle, you start from a point and end at that point, creating a start and an end on the same point, yet it is an unending loop. You can say the start is the end of the circle."

That is enough to throw any scientist into a research frenzy! I opened new directions to study the Multiverse! Folded Space is discarded because of me! To be honest, Folded Space is a concept thought about by an idiot, who can compare Space to a piece of paper and fold it together? It is like explaining it with a flat Earth. Or it must be my low IQ, one of the many flaws in my previous life… ok, in this one too. Happy now?

The old man froze and turned to me, "Do you know what infinity means, young man?"

I shrugged, "Nobody can, Elder. I bet it is a concept even the Supremes have problems comprehending, the most I can do is to take a wild guess. I heard someone make that remark and it somehow made sense to me. I can not claim that I understand it all, but it brought me some enlightenment."

Tadaa! Before you stand a true scholar! That is right! Worship me! That is what scholars do, you know, they read a lot of books and publish papers claiming they thought of it themselves. Forget that previous IQ remark, this one is at the pinnacle of Wisdom!

I added, "I bet even the Sage Emperor doesn't know the answer, Grandpa. If he did, we would cease to exist already. I wish you luck in obtaining Emperor Kong Ming's Legacy. I know it is not my path to take."

Suspiciously, the old man asked, "What is your Path, Child?"

Hmm? Child? Ah, he is trying to keep the high ground, "I'm put here by someone the Supremes can not dream to look at. Those beings can put us all in a book and put it on a shelf next to countless other books. What is my purpose you ask? I don't know, my best guess is to deal with the Sage Emperor, who knows."

It is possible though, Tales of Demon and Gods from Mad Snail is the original World, and Fan Fictions of that story is creating the Multiverse, always expanding. The Harry Potter Verse is the biggest by far, yeah, that kid is hogging all the attention.

My last words to Gramps were, "Do not worry, Elder, our paths may cross each other sometimes, but our goals are the same."

The killing intent went away, the old man studied my face for a bit, nodded once, turned, and walked away. That left me with three girls who were staring at me with wide eyes. I shrugged and pretended dealing with someone five levels higher than ours was normal. I had my buttsheeks pressed together to keep it in though, that old man only had to sneeze to kill all four of us.

"I'll explain later," I told the girls, "this is not the kind of conversation to have in a marketplace."

Lanruo raised her eyebrow, "The one you just had was one for a marketplace?"

I answered, "No, but that old man could shield us from being listened to, I am not at the level that I can project a privacy array in a half hour, let alone in a second as that old man did."

That was my first interaction with a Martial Ancestor, one level below Deity. He is suppressing his cultivation, once he reaches Deity, the Sage Emperor will know and order his assassination, most don't survive the first year of the hunt.

When the shopping was done, we went for a hunt. Our targets are the Ghost Beasts. I started to explain to the girls what Glass Cannons are and how we became one.

"At the moment we are almost at the pinnacle of strength in this world, to get stronger, I already told you we have to study Laws. What we don't have is battle experience and decent fighting skills. Unarmed combat and Weapon skills are needed to stand against people of the same rank."

I stopped them from protesting, "In the Draconian Realm we will be the weakest, and our peers are older and more experienced. Our only strong point will be our God Growth Demon Spirit, with it we can overpower them. We will train with our Demon Spirit to maximize its power, so merge with it and explore what you can do with it."

I remembered something and said, "Collect the blood of those monkeys, I have a recipe for it, you can give some of the monkeys to the village after you harvest the Demon Crystal and Blood Cores."

That is a good strategy for the girls, for me? Using the Shadow Demon openly will attract all of the wrong attention. It's a Legendary Demon Beast that went extinct millennia ago, and only a few Demon Spirits were left of them. If I use it openly, I will be dead in less than an hour. I can not even use it here, no doubt that old man is monitoring me.

Hmm, what to do… while the girls trained their Merging, I went through my mental library for a solution. Nie Li cultivated a technique that allowed him to bind with multiple Demon Spirits, I haven't found something like that yet. Book after book got searched, there was no mention of multiple Demon Spirits of any kind, we can only replace them.

There are still those three books from Kong Ming's Coffin in that strange language. One is about herbs and alchemy, one is for Inscriptions and Arrays, the last one I suspect is about cultivation. Translating them will be a bitch though. Meh, that is for when we return to Glory City.

Two days later, the Silverwing Family came in with full force over a thousand winged warriors with Plucked Chicken's Daddy in front. As always, the village elders pointed them to us, we were just about to kill some ugly monkeys.

Annoyed, Ning'er said, "I regret giving the corpses of the Ghost-Faced Monkeys to those ungrateful curs."

We got interrupted by the Birdman, "You are the ones that dared to mutilate my daughter? Yes? Prepare to die! Kill them all!"

I grinned at the girls, "I like this one, he skips the speeches too, train your Demon Spirits on them."

It was poetry in motion, Ziyun used her Snow Wind Queen to create ice-wind blades on her swords, every strike reached over a hundred feet long. The Wind Magic amplified her speed more than twice and she rushed through the Winged Troops like a knife through butter.

I have to remark that the butter has to be at room temperature or at least in refrigerator condition. Frozen Butter is a bitch to cut through… just saying, you know.

Ning'er did the same with her Lightning Thunder Golden Eagle, she used the Lightning to go from one place to another, coating her sword in lightning, she was cutting the enemies in tiny bits.

Lanruo with her Diamond Head Prismatic Winged Snake, cut her victims with her poisoned swords. With only a little scratch, they were parallelized and fell from the sky. I felt sorry for them, they died slowly. Sister Lan can be a bit scary sometimes.

Me? Meh, I grabbed Chicken Dad, gave him a few slaps, and let him watch his troop getting slaughtered. A few minutes later only he was alive. Shaking in fear, he watched the girls loot the corpses. I taught them that. Standard Gaming procedures, always keep auto-loot on if you have plenty of room in your inventory. The looting took longer than the killing and was a bloody mess. Too cold you say? Heartless? Nah, no mercy for slavers, they had it coming for a long time.

"Do you have more of those, loudmouth?" I asked, "I must say that I am not impressed with the quality you are showing. No, not impressed at all. Let's pay a visit to your village before someone else gets the same idea."

I dragged a beaten Sikong Yi by a wing to his village, the difference in power was easily displayed, a One Star Legend Fighter compared to a Five Star Legend Demon Spiritualist showed with the few slaps I had to give to defeat him. The speed we used to fly through the air was double what he was capable of, the poor man was shitting his pants.

We arrived at the village, I said to the girls, "Clean it out before the other Families arrive with the same idea, I am going to visit that mine."

I snapped the wings of Chicken Dad and flew to the mine. According to the story, they put a Blood Imprint on the slaves, controlled by three Inscriptionists, that Blood Imprint would let the slaves' blood explode if they went more than a mile from the Mine. Nasty indeed.

In my Void form, I explored the mine and the guards, it didn't take long to find the three that controlled the imprints, a few slices with my scythes made the imprints fade away. I turned back to normal and helped to start a revolt in the mine. With my help, the guards were eliminated in no time.

When the ex-slaved ate their fill from the storage rooms, I made my offer, "People! I am not from this Realm, I give you the choice, return to your families or come with me to the outside World. We welcome any human in our Glory City, and I know that the Matriarch from my Family can give you a new life as a farmer in the fields, or if you have a profession the tools to start a business. I can already say that it has been centuries ago that we had a famine."

An older man acted as a spokesman, "They killed our family when they captured us, My Lord. We have nothing to return to, if the promise of food is real, we will gladly follow you."

We looted every Blood Crystal from the mines and the treasury of the Winged Family, every opposition was slapped down and every slave freed. The Girls were especially ruthless after they paid a visit to the prison and saw the condition of the prisoners. A lot of Bird people died because of that.

I did not see that half-blood that became a major character in the original story, mainly because we are here months ahead of Canon. Do I need him? Maybe I do, perhaps he is in the group of immigrants that want to come along. I am certain I missed some opportunities and gained some others, but it is about time to return home.

A combination of three transport Arrays that I had been working on in my limited free time, got accelerated now that I need it. In short, powered by Demon Crystals, I set two Arrays up, an in and an out, it can transport a hundred people at once as long as they are in the same realm. I got my last clue on how to make them by studying the Array we arrived at.

We collected the Light Stoned to power the Array to Glory City and started transporting people up. Ziyun went along with the first group, to warn the guards of the new immigrants. We needed a day to get it done and taught some of the Legend Ranked how to enter the Abyss Realm and how to activate the Array, in case more of them wanted to leave.

The news of the new arrivals spread among the City, help was offered with places to stay and work from several Noble Families and villages. A few days later almost everyone was settled. As I suspected, that half-blood came along with his parents, he was hard to miss, he had a pair of black wings on his back like his father, his mother's feathers were white. I offered them a position in the Sacred Family, of course.

After a night of Mind-Blowing, Raw, Lustful, Kinky, Screaming Hot, Happy-To-Be-Back-Home-Sex, yes, the Bloody Aunty left for three weeks, we discussed our gains.

Ziyun started, "Five thousand immigrants came along, they were easily placed in the city, Father is planning more expeditions in that Realm to investigate the possibilities for cooperation and trade. Personally, I got more familiar with my Demon Spirit."

Ning'er nodded, "We lowered our strength to be the same as those ugly monkeys, that way we had to fight harder to win. Overpowering them was useless, we did not learn from it. We worked well together as a team."

Lanruo confirmed it, "That is true, once we lowered our strength we learned more about our Demon Spirit and teaming up. The Silver Winged Family found that out the hard way. The loot was good too. That was the right expression wasn't it, Yang'er? Although looting them sounds more like bandits robbing their victims."

I shook my head, "Nope, Lanruo, Looting is an honorable term, first used by the God of Games and Role play. We call that the rewards of the Grind. Admit that you felt great when you took your rewards from those ghost monkeys and those Silver Wings. Hard work needs to be recompensed, hence the Loot."

I smiled and continued, "We have a lot of Blood Crystals, pure and from those Ghost Monkeys. Xin'er, tomorrow… in a few hours, I show you the recipes to purify and refine those Crystals. Those Crystals can boost a Gold Rank One to a Black Gold Rank One in less than a month. The Blood from those Ghost Monkeys can be turned into explosives, everything below Gold Rank will die in a radius of twenty feet. That will come in handy with Demon Bests Hordes."

I turned serious, "I also have a recipe for a Berserker potion, a dangerous one. Once the potion comes in contact with the air, the fumes will make every Demon Beast and Human below Black Gold go mad and attack everyone in their range, friend or enemy alike. This could be a God's gift against a Demon Beast Horde, or a terrible weapon in the hands of an enemy."

Xin sighed, "Let us concentrate on the here and now, we made a selection of girls that are willing to move up to the Draconian Realm, all of them commoners, the Noble girls are already betrothed or not interested in fighting. We need you to start it up, as the first Massage session is the most important one you said."

Xiu added, "We gathered them here in a separate Courtyard, the one Chen Ming owned for his branch of the Family. The Soul Crystals are used and documented and waiting for you to hand out their Cultivation techniques."

Xiu yawned, "We better sleep a few hours, it is almost morning."

Xxxxx

The first thing I did the next morning after breakfast was to write the cultivation techniques for everyone and explain how to cultivate them. Most of the girls that volunteered were Bronze Ranked, their age went from fourteen to twenty, all eager to get Legend Rank. An hour before dinner I was done, Ziyun and Ning'er appointed themselves as leaders for the group and gathered them around the Massage table.

Ziyun spoke up loud, "Girls! What we are about to tell you and demonstrate is a Family Secret! If you do not want to be a part of our family, now is the time to get out. No, this does not mean you are going to be a concubine or whore for Mu Yang, the opposite is true, he expressed to us that he does not want another wife or concubine than the ones he already has. This means you can pursue your own happiness."

Ning'er took over, I bet they rehearsed it, "There are three phases of your Cultivation, at the first phase you get the new Cultivation, which will improve absorbing Soul Force. The second Phase is here in this table. Our Fiancee developed a technique that will clear all blocks and obstructions in your meridians and bloodstream. Those impurities will be guided to your digestive system, so beware when you have to go to the bathroom, the smell is horrible."

Ziyun again, "This Massage Technique will let you cultivate five times faster for five to seven days, not only your body will feel better, but your mind will be more clear and alert. There is a minor problem though. This Massage technique comes out of a book about Dual Cultivation, the Massage technique has to be done by a male, and if done properly, you will have reached the top more than four times."

Ning'er stopped the questions, "The third part is Mind Dual cultivation, it is cultivating with a partner or partners. You get connected with your minds, and your cultivation speed will triple. That is one of the reasons we advanced so fast. We used some treasures, but they are depleted and not available here."

"Ziyun summed it up, "That means with the new Cultivation Manual, the Massage and Dual Mind Cultivation, You can reach Legend Rank in seven or eight months. We will provide pills, elixirs, and herbal baths. We hesitated to do this, but we also going to offer Males to Dual Cultivate with, this is only an offer, with a male the Cultivation will increase, due to the balance of Yin and Yang. Mu Yang will massage the girls that are not interested in a male yet."

Ning'er said, "Yang'er will now demonstrate to me what the Massage is all about, or is there a volunteer? It has to be done naked."

That little perv! Being watched is getting her a kick out of it, when she was out of her clothes and on the table, I did my demonstration with a show and tell, pointing out the dangers of a lesbian route with the Yin overload, and what to do to compensate. The little perv went ballistic with all the eyes pointed at her.

One of the girls asked, "Why aren't there any males here?"

Ziyun answered, "Because you will have to teach them the Massage techniques yourself, and the decision to include males was made yesterday. We have to select them first. There are thirty of you, we will select eight males to begin with, and start next week."

Yeah, I am not going to rub a male, and sure as hell not let my girls give them a body rub. No, I am not selfish! My girls suggested boosting thirty girls up to Legend Rank themselves. Not me, so I am not rubbing any males, that is not my kind of Fun.
