Chapter 1386 - 47: The Wang Family’s First Divine Power Realm (Part 3)

Forget it~~ let’s just drop it.

He took a deep breath and said earnestly, "Senior, I advise you to give up on that idea. Our Wang Family has always believed women can hold up half the sky, we don’t do that ’taking concubines’ nonsense. This isn’t the Demon Dynasty either, we won’t start eyeing your Primordial Yin just because you cultivate the Charming Female Yin Demon path. Just treat yourself as an ordinary Divine Power Realm powerhouse here."

As he spoke, he didn’t give Chi Mei Demon Envoy a chance to talk anymore and directly switched topics: "Let me tell you what kind of treatment we can offer you."

"According to the rules set by my great-grandfather, as long as you agree to become a Tributor of our Wang Family, you’ll enjoy an annual stipend of three hundred thousand Qian Gold. In addition, Elixirs, Spirit Meat and Spirit Vegetables and other daily consumables will all be provided by our Wang Family. Besides that, by virtue of your status as a Wang Family Tributor, you can enjoy VIP-level treatment in all industries under our Wang Family’s jurisdiction—whether you’re buying and selling goods or just relaxing and having fun, there will be discounts, and some industries even have free quotas. It’s much more cost-effective than working a job for the Wang Family."

"Given that our Wang Family currently doesn’t have any Divine Power Realm Tributors, you’d be the first, and can enjoy first-pick priority. In the clan’s Treasure Vault, Divine Power Spirit Treasures, High-Grade Spirit Fruit, Treasures that enhance Talent and so on—as long as you have enough Contribution Points in hand, you can pick first."

"Of course, after becoming a Tributor, you can still take missions in our Wang Family’s Task Hall to earn Contribution Points. That doesn’t conflict with the stipend we give you."

"Also, after you become a Tributor, you will indeed need to accept missions assigned by the clan, but those missions will also grant some Contribution Points, so you won’t be losing out. If you really feel a mission is too dangerous, you can refuse it."

Wang Anxin rattled off a whole string of conditions.

Chi Mei Demon Envoy was stunned as she listened: "All Tributors get these benefits?"

"Naturally." Wang Anxin replied with certainty. "These are rules Great-Grandpa set decades ago. Whoever comes, it’s the same."

Chi Mei Demon Envoy fell silent for a while.

She had personally witnessed how easy it was to earn Contribution Points from the Wang Family’s missions.

With a set stipend and the ability to grind missions for Contribution Points, if she really took refuge with the Wang Family, she might not even need a hundred years before she could afford a high-quality Divine Power Spirit Treasure.

Moreover, with the Wang Family providing for her, the process of saving up wouldn’t delay her cultivation at all.

This was something she hadn’t even dared to dream of before.

You have to know, though the True Demon Hall is powerful, its resources are limited too. For Great Celestial Prides like her to get enough cultivation resources, they have to cling tightly to the thigh of some Lingxu Realm big shot. And how many resources you get depends entirely on that big shot’s mood.

So, to secure resources, they often have to do many things completely unrelated to cultivation—like serving Master, like groveling and flattering other Lingxu Realm Great Demon Monarchs, like finding some reliable big shot to marry herself off to...

Say it a thousand times, say it ten thousand times, it all boils down to those two words: "resources."

If she had a choice, would she really be willing to be someone’s concubine? The reason she had insisted on becoming Wang Shouzhe’s little concubine before was nothing more than an instinctive desire to add another layer of protection.

Growing up in that kind of weak-eat-strong environment in the True Demon Hall, it was simply instinctive for her to refuse to believe that pies could just fall from the sky like this.

But right now, she was trapped in the shelter, with no options to speak of. Under these circumstances, the Wang Family had absolutely no reason to deliberately throw out such generous conditions just to fool her.

If the Wang Family didn’t care about her, she would very likely be trapped here until her Lifespan ran out. That was too terrifying~

After much deliberation, Chi Mei Demon Envoy still couldn’t resist the temptation and nodded. "Alright. I’ll trust you all this once. I can tell you everything I know about the True Demon Hall. I also know Master... Yin Snake Demoness’s weakness, and Blood Child Demon Monarch’s Cultivation Technique characteristics. I assume your Wang Family should be in dire need of this right now."

"Not ’your Wang Family’, it’s ’our Wang Family’." Wang Anxin reminded her.

"Alright. ’Our Wang Family’." Chi Mei Demon Envoy readily corrected herself.

Wang Anxin nodded in satisfaction and continued, "The information on Yin Snake Demoness and Blood Child Demon Monarch isn’t urgent; that can wait. For now, Senior, please first tell us your method of contacting Yin Snake Demoness, and the secret phrases involved. That’s more important."

Contact method? Secret phrases?

Chi Mei Demon Envoy’s heart jolted, and she instinctively sensed something was off.

What exactly does this Wang Family want to do?

However, given how far things had gone, there was no room for her to hesitate anymore. She clenched her teeth and went all in: "The way to contact Mas— Yin Snake Demoness is..."

In the small room, Wang Anxin’s spirits lifted, and he quickly started taking notes. His mood was quite cheerful as well—the Wang Family finally had its first Divine Power Realm Tributor, which meant another leap in the Wang Family’s foundation.

Moreover, Wang Anxin believed that the Wang Family’s Divine Power Realm cultivators would only grow more and more numerous in the future.

...

At the same time.

The armed forces quota that the Wang Family had applied for from the Governor’s Mansion of Longzuo County was approved.

Normally speaking, a Noble Family increases its armed strength through Clan Soldiers and Household Generals, but these do not belong to Daqian’s official military establishment and are more akin to private troops.

Private troops have their own advantages, but when a warband develops, they’ll run into bottlenecks. First, there’s no state subsidy for military pay. Second, they lack formal unit designations and status, so even if they perform meritorious service, they don’t gain much official credit. Third, once the scale of private troops gets too large, it tends to cause trouble for the clan—in the very least, it doesn’t sound good in terms of overall public perception.
