Chapter 171
If a wife who usually takes care of the housework at home suddenly leaves one day, wouldn’t it be a perfectly reasonable suspicion? But it seems my thoughts were wrong.
“Our Ray has to go to school, doesn’t she? This world still values academic credentials, right?”
Ah, Ray. School.
“Well, I guess so?”
While Korea’s academic-focused society had loosened considerably after the Great Cataclysm, one still needed academic credentials to avoid being looked down upon. Besides, it was time for Ray to make friends her own age. I’d have to stop Ray from seeking out Males even if it meant pulling out her tail, but if she were to meet Females like me, I’d welcome it. Wouldn’t the day come when she’d share her own Female with me? In that case, Males wouldn’t be necessary.
“If possible, tell her to get along with girls.”
“Make her like you?”
“Yes.”
“Then our lineage will end!”
I don’t think that would happen. Rather, I couldn’t forgive a male’s sperm entering Ray’s womb.
“There’s Reina, and if she inherited my blood, couldn’t she have children too? The problem is Magnute.”
“Magnute?”
Magnute seemed to be getting along well with Ray lately. The problem was that, unlike Ray, Magnute had difficulty with Human Form Transformation.
“It seems I made her a long time ago and left her there.”
“So you just abandoned her?”
No, I didn’t abandon her on purpose.
“The previous me made her, but I have no memory of it.”
“That’s really mean.”
“No, it’s true.”
Strangely, I should have all my old memories. But there’s no memory of Magnute. I’m sure I was the me from that time.
“But Magnute is old enough, isn’t she? And Human Form Transformation too.” “Yes, Human Form Transformation is the problem. Magnute only has my blood, so it won’t be easy.”
At that time, I was transforming from a dragon to a human form, but Magnute couldn’t. Perhaps I made her before I died, and she’s incomplete because of that.
“I can try to find out with Magic, but, hmm. Wait.”
“Why?”
“Our Ray became a Human after eating Yellow Dragon Meat.”
Right. That’s true. She committed Kin-slaying. Thanks to that, Ray was able to successfully undergo transformation into a human.
“Is there any left?” “There’s some left around the head.” “What if we feed her that?”
Would it be like Dragon Head Soup? I want to try that too. Dragon meat must be so good for the body.
“It’s frozen, so it’ll take a while to get out, but I’ll take the head out and try it tomorrow morning.”
“Alright. Then I’ll go try to seduce that Sin Bitch for now.”
“Oh, really.”
Her saying it like she doesn’t care is a bit much.

Beijing
After the Northwest Warlords recaptured Beijing, the flag of the Northwest Warlords flew over Beijing. The Commander’s Office in the relatively intact Former Beijing Warlords' Command Center building in Beijing, devastated by battles with Monsters, was occupied by Mingmei, the Hero and Leader of the Northwest Warlords. Mingmei, who had been struggling with financial difficulties but whose situation had recently improved somewhat with aid from The West, was racking her brain over how to organize her forces for future Monster Extermination. Just then, a Black Vortex swirled before Mingmei, and a figure appeared, their identity hidden by a black hood and cloak.
“General Mingmei.”
“Who are you?”
Mingmei cautiously scrutinized the strange figure from head to toe. There was no hostility, but the sight was unsettling. The figure, completely swathed in a cloak, looked like a frightened puppy desperate to hide its true identity. Even its voice was almost mechanical; how could such an unsettling being exist?
“I am simply someone who wishes to offer you some assistance.”
“Assistance?”
What did that mean? Assistance? Upon closer inspection, it seemed like a being that knew the Northwest Warlords' desperation and had come to play some trick.
“If you cooperate with us, we will provide the economic foundation based in Beijing for your General to rise.”
It was an enticing offer to hear. But at the Demon’s voice, Mingmei wore a sneer.
“You? I don’t even know your identity, so what am I supposed to trust?” “It’s a simple matter. Send troops secretly to the Gates in the Northeast Three Provinces and carry out Bombing Terror.” “Bombing Terror. Are you telling me to cause a Gate Anomaly?”
Direct attacks from the outside on Gate Entrances often cause anomalies. Surely, they’re not telling me to do that. How much has the world been ruined by those Gate Anomalies? Isn’t it because of them that Monsters are overflowing, putting the Northwest Warlords in such a difficult situation now? That damned being is not worth talking to further.
“Yes. Isn’t it a simple matter? General, you wouldn’t be pleased with Korea swallowing up the Northeast Three Provinces, would you?” “Just because I’m not pleased, should I resort to cowardly terror against what Korea, as the victor, has rightfully claimed?”
It’s ridiculous. Furthermore, Mingmei wasn’t bothered by Korea taking the Northeast Three Provinces. The Beijing Warlords, who were nothing more than a cancer, self-destructed in their war with Korea.
“More importantly, if you cooperate with us, wouldn’t the Northwest Warlords be able to rise, struggling financially?” “No matter how difficult my situation, do you think I would ally myself with an Unidentified Terrorist Organization like you?”
No matter how tough things were, she couldn’t work with such dirty, inscrutable individuals.
“Unfortunately, we are not a Terrorist Organization.” “Those who plot to conquer the world are Terrorist Organizations. What else would they be? And you expect me to be your puppet?”
Mingmei extended her gloved right hand towards the unidentified figure. Then, she twisted her hand, flipping it over, and the cloaked figure was slammed to the floor as if caught in her grip.
“Gah?”
“Judging by your pathetic demeanor, I’d say these 'Sins' are nothing more than Evil Organizations straight out of a comic book. How dare you look at me with such eyes?”
As Mingmei slowly began to clench her right hand, the cloaked figure writhed in pain on the floor, its limbs twisting.
“If you do this, h-h-ugh. Kugh.”
CRUNCH!
The cloaked figure twisted for a while before finally bursting. Mingmei frowned at the sight of the burst assailant.
Not Human?
No blood burst forth, nor did it turn into minced meat. Black ash scattered into the air, and the assailant lost its form, becoming a pile of ashes. Shortly after, Xue Li, who had recently returned to the Chiwoo Unit, entered the office, perhaps because of the loud noise from the office.
“General! What happened here?”“Hmph. A cowardly bastard who can’t even come in its true form dares to visit Beijing. Xue Li, you were right.”
To persuade and converse with someone, one should come in one’s true form. Isn’t it cowardly? One doesn’t even move oneself, yet one tries to force terror upon the Northwest Warlords.
“Ha. Eunha was right.” “No matter how impoverished we are, we cannot join hands with those filled with malice. Xue Li, it was good that you fostered a friendship with Yu Eunha.”
Mingmei smiled with satisfaction.
“Well, then.” “When I saw her on broadcast, I thought she was just an arrogant person drunk on power, but the Sword Princess of White Flame lives up to her name. She must have told only us about the Sin matter because she was worried I might grant their demands and become an enemy of Korea.”
I thought she was just an immature girl, wielding power beyond her control with youthful exuberance, but she has quite a broad view of the world. So, even if it’s just a suspicion, she didn’t immediately inform the International Community, but only the Northwest Warlords, about the new existence of Sin.
“Yes.”
“And Cheonsan? Isn’t Cheonsan the company that raised its stock through Mars Terraforming this time? Yu Eunha said she would connect us with Cheonsan.”
Yu Eunha didn’t just speak of the existence of Sin. She said she would connect Cheonsan with Beijing so that Cheonsan could invest, allowing the Northwest Warlords to fully establish themselves. Currently, Cheonsan is a globally recognized company. If things go as she said, Beijing’s situation would improve considerably. That way, Beijing and the Northwest Warlords could also keep Nanjing in check.
“Yes.”
“You want to install a Portal in Songdo and stay there?”
“Yes. Of course. During the day, I will act as a proud Hunter of the Northwest Warlords, but I will stay there even if it’s only at night.”
Mingmei quietly looked into Xue Li’s eyes. After returning from Shenyang, Xue Li seemed much more relaxed than before. The girl who had previously only shown the will to somehow win the war against monsters now seemed to have developed desires for other things.
“So be it.”
“Pardon?”
“I thought I was working you too hard. I was planning to give you some freedom once things stabilized a bit anyway.”
She was a fresh, vibrant girl, just twenty years old. Yet, unlike other girls her age, she had no friends, didn’t know how to adorn herself, and knew nothing beyond fighting monsters. Her only connections were her subordinates.
It wouldn’t be bad. Furthermore, a person like Yu Eunha, who participated in the war, shouldn’t be seen as merely a child. Yu Eunha is an individual with immense influence over Korea. Moreover, Korea is friendly with Western countries and borders the Northeast Three Provinces, so it’s not a bad thing.
For Xue Li to be able to act as a twenty-year-old girl and for the benefit of the Northwest Warlords, friendship with Korea was not a bad thing. Whatever her ulterior motives, the support from Cheonsan itself was not bad, so there was no reason not to grant Xue Li’s request.
“Really?” “Yes. Thanks to your efforts, Beijing was recaptured, and the Monsters were expelled back to the Grasslands. You’ll have some free time for a while, so do as you wish. I’ll inform the Korean Hunter Association so you can go to Seoul.” “Thank you!”
Xue Li wore a joyful expression. Public Security was also training Hunters in Nanjing. Perhaps they would fight them someday. At the very least, she didn’t want to teach Xue Li that war was all there was to the world forever.

Everyone’s Idol, the adorable Yongyong-i, transformed back into her small form. And I used Kate to mark the coordinates. I came in the morning, went back around 4 PM, and then went back and forth, tormenting that bitch. Returning to the Mansion, I casually entered Greed’s Room, and Greed Johanna saw me, rushed over, and hugged me tightly.
“Huh? Ryuk, where did you go? I’ve been looking for you for ages!”
“Kkyurureut? (So you don’t like it?)”
My eyes were sparkling. This is this bitch’s weakness, because she’s a foolish Woman who loves Dragons. So, when I made an even more pathetic and cute expression, she blushed.
“Ryuk. When you look at me like that… Ugh. Haa, I’m sorry for getting angry.” “Kkyuriririt Kkyureung! (Then give me your tits!)”
I’ll definitely devour those irresistible tits. I’ll finish the job within a week and make this bitch taste humiliation.
I threw myself onto Johanna’s ample chest.
As expected, it’s so soft. The taste as I suck is also exquisite.
It’s as if she deliberately put effort into it for me; the scent of female flesh alone makes my insides throb.
“Hee-eet? W-wait a minute! S-stop it! No matter how much you miss your Mom, this is too much.”
“Kkyureut? (You don’t like it?)”
When I slightly lifted my head and asked her, Johanna mumbled.
“Y-you’re so cheap, only using those eyes at times like this! And I’m already not in a good mood after that sudden explosion!”
“Kkyureung.”
“Ah. Alright! B-but it’s broad daylight.”
What’s wrong with broad daylight? There’s no rule that says I can only do this at night, is it?
