Erotic Adventures in the Omniverse: Vampire Lord got too many wives

166  Strength or Love?

" Do you want to cancel the engagement or go along with it? " Lao asked her daughter.

She knew Xiao Rong had no interest in Qiang or love in general, and just agreed to the marriage with him just because of her father.

But now that she has become so strong, her future is limitless, even her father won't say anything if she says no to the marriage.

"..."

Xiao Rong fell silent after listening to her mother's question, several thoughts ran through her mind. ' Should I say no and wait for Wang Jin to come back? ' n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

' Should I say yes and just forget about him? What is more important love, cultivation or social status? '

Her mind was a mess, the more she thought about it the more conflicted she felt. She has started to love Jayden, and so wanted to be with him.

But seeing that love is becoming a hindrance to her cultivation, she wondered if love really is worth it at all. Forcing all the thoughts out of her mind, she finally came to a conclusion.

' I'll pay him back for everything he has done for me, but I can't let anything to get in the way of my cultivation. ' she thought.

" I'll marry Qiang, so you don't have to cancel anything," she said with a determined look on her face.

" Are you sure? Believe me, your father will not- " Lao Rong said, but was interrupted by Xiao.

" Mother, that's my final decision. "

Xiao Rong said, for her marrying Qiang would just be a formality, with her speed she believed that Qiang would never be able to surpass her.

' It will be a marriage in name only, the most important thing to me is still my strength. It is what matters the most, as for Wang Jin, probably I'll get over him with time. ' she thought.

" If that's what you want, then I'll not oppose you. Your marriage will take place in the next month, as planned. " Lao Rong said.

" Oh wait, what happened to that guy, Wang Jin? " Lao Rong asked all of the sudden.

Just hearing his name made Xiao to tremble, she didn't know why her mom was asking about him, but still replied:

" He is still in the Jade forest, the Matriarch is searching for him, but no one knows whether he is alive or... " As she said the last sentence, she couldn't complete it because of the fear she felt.

" Haha, that's good, I wish he never return from that forest. " Lao Rong said, but just as the scenes of him kissing her and playing with her body came to her mind, Lao Rong's face turned red.

" Mom!! What are you saying? He is the one who helped me, if it wasn't for him I would already be dead. " Xiao said shouting at her mother.

Lao Rong was surprised, it was the first time Xiao had yelled at her, she couldn't believe that the girl who didn't even show emotions normally was yelling like that and looked so angry.

" Uh... I-I didn't know that, I'm sorry. " Lao Rong said, she was completely stunned by her daughter's behaviour.

' Did something happened between them in the forest? ' Lao Rong mused.

Then after some more chatting, Lao Rong walked out of the room leaving Xiao alone.

' Was it really the right decision?  Or am I making a mistake? ' she thought: ' Once he comes back I'll have my answers, maybe my decision will change. '

Xiao Rong sighed loudly, and again tried to cultivate, but she couldn't even channel the energy properly after trying for a few more minutes, she walked out of her house and decided to just look around the sect.

Before she knew she stood in front of Jayden's small house, but what she saw there surprised her greatly.

******

Wang Jia was standing on top of a tall tree, looking over the forest. The forest was just too big, and finding a hidden village was not easy at all.

It's been so long since she has been searching for her son, but no matter how long she searched, she couldn't even find his traces.

" Matriarch "

The sixth elder, who had stayed behind with Wang Jia, came near her and bowed respectfully.

" Did you find anything? " she asked, hoping to hear a positive answer.

" I'm sorry Matriarch, but there wasn't a single sign of Wang Jin and Mo Peng, I believe searching here aimlessly is useless. " The sixth elder said.

" You should return to the sect now, it isn't good to leave the sect empty for so long," he suggested.

" No, finding my son is more important. " Jia said.

" I'm not asking to stop searching, we can hire people to look in the forest, that'll be faster anyway.  " The sixth elder explained.

" Also I've received some news from the sect, they reported that Bi Wu, the patriarch of the second strongest sect in the Kingdom, has been found committing treason against the king.

He had escaped and all the royal guards are still searching for him, leaving the sect empty at a time like this might result in a big tragedy. " he said.

"..."

She pondered his words, then after a few minutes said:

" Fine, I'll go back to the sect to solve all the urgent matters, you should hire some groups to search for them. " Jia ordered and then flew in the direction of the sect.

" Yes, Matriarch. " the sixth elder said, then followed behind her.

******

" Let's go inside. " Jayden said and along with the three women walked into the hall.

Inside he was greeted by eighteen women, including the leader.

" Hello leader, I hope I'm not disturbing you," he said, showing a small smile towards Mulan.

She smiled back at him, surprising all the women present there. " Not at all, I was thinking of calling you here," she said.

" Hmm? Do you need me for something? " Jayden asked.

" Yes, are you good with swords? " Mulan asked.

" Of course, I am. You should be aware of that already, after all, we fought so hard yesterday. " Jayden said, as the corner of his lips rose.

"..."

Mulan blushed hearing his words, there was a tingle in her Nether region just by his words alone. Clearing her thoughts, she spoke:

" Yeah, I do know how good you are at piercing with your sword, so I want you to help all of them in learning swordsmanship. " Mulan said pointing at the women present in the room.

All the women in the room wondered when did they got the chance to spar, they couldn't possibly have sparred in the hall, right?

" With pleasure, Mulan. " Jayden said, the rest of the members looked at Jayden and then at their leader. Why isn't she saying anything, did she not hear what he just said? They all wondered.

Turning to the women present there, he asks: " Is there a battlefield for all of us to go at it in a single time? "

Mulan understood his meaning and instantly replies:

" There's a room with a big bed, that could easily hold over twenty people. "

" That's perfect, but do all of you ladies, want to get personal training by me? " he asked.
