My Journey to Godhood as a Caterpillar

Chapter 113: Revelation

While Yun Jhin and his new girlfriend were torching villages and massacring poor males who already had it hard out there. Qinghe's mother was rampaging inside the capital trying to find her daughter with no results whatsoever.

Qinghe's mother was sweating intensely as she returned to the palace and met up with the Empress, she fell to her knees as she started to tremble so much that you might think she was having a seizure.

The Empress knew that something was wrong and knew what it was as well, it could be easily seen by the expression on Qinghe's mother face:

"Martata, it seems your daughter had run away."

Martata didn't say anything as she kept her head held down and started to kowtow to the Empress while saying:

"Please forgive me!"

The Empress shook her head as she waved her hand and a handsome young man appeared he was half-naked and flustered but seeing it was his mother who summoned him his face returned to normal shortly while he was surprised it also seemed that he was used to such things as well. She asked him:

"Did you instruct the guards to not look after Qinghe?"

Prince Hanzen nodded and told his mother:

"Mother you saw her yourself, even if she lost all her fat she wouldn't have been that beautiful, I already have hundreds of women more beautiful than her, why would it matter if she became my concubine or not?"

The Empress sighed, it didn't matter much, she was only doing a favor to one of her former generals, and seeing that her son didn't want Qinghe she couldn't do much about it either.

However, since she gave her word to Martata she would still need to show at least a little bit of concern on this matter or she might lose her support, one general didn't matter much for her but what if she rallied more? She also didn't do anything wrong as her son was the one who intervened in this so basically she couldn't be punished or executed.

The Empress was a rather smart woman, she was the one who created this matriarchal society and made it work, she was also the one who stopped the war plaguing the planet since the humans attacked a long time ago, she was quite old herself even though she looked middle-aged at best, her son was conceived at a later age so he was still quite young and full of vigor, that's why he wanted to use him as a breeding horse to continue the imperial line, a male could mate multiple times but a female couldn't give birth to more than two children, innately phoenixes had the weakest bodies compared to the other 3 beasts, however, they had a special ability to revive themselves if a big piece of their DNA remained intact, but the process was quite lengthy and it didn't work if they died of old age.

The Empress let out a long sigh, she couldn't make a sage realm expert go after the princess and her lover, after all, they would be quite mad to be interrupted from cultivating, they were all trying to improve and maybe even reach the God Realm and the Empress understood their struggle, he could make Martata go after her own daughter but the reason she stayed in the palace for such long whiles was the same as the others.

The phoenix palace was special as it could be used to hasten the cultivation speed of those at the Sage Realm and above, anyone would want to stay continuously in it and not leave it after they tasted the benefits, it was created with a special fire magma stone that would increase the circulation of the phoenix bloodline of those who lived in it. Martata thought that she could casually cultivate inside and wait for her daughter to breakthrough, after all, her daughter never disobeyed her once in her whole life, how could she know that she would do it now, for a man to boot!

The Empress waved her hand indicating that Martata could get up from her kneeling position, her eyes shifted to her son and she asked:

"Do you still have that battle regiment of Emperors I gave you?"

Hanzen nodded at her question and said:

"Should I let them out to play, for now, mother?"

The Empress nodded and said:

"Go and tell them to find Qinghe and her lover, what was his name? Zhao Yun?"

Her gaze moved to Martata for confirmation and Martata nodded continuously at the question.

After that, she made sure to emphasize how Yun Jhin looked but considering his stealth skills and the way he changed himself there was a very low chance for him to be found by a battalion of Emperors even if they were high ranked ones.

Hanzen gave out an order through a communication stone and afterward bowed to his mother and asked:

"Can I go back to what I was doing, mother?"

The Empress nodded and waved her hand as the prince disappeared from the spot only to end up in his room back with his hundreds of concubines.

Martata left the Empress alone as she went to a cultivation room, for now, all she wanted to do was wait for her daughter to come back and accept her fate, all she had to do was give birth to one or two children, was it that hard?

Yun Jhin was now finishing all of the poor male villages and ended up with almost 7,000 kills in total.

He sighed as he needed 93,000 more, he now needed to go with phase two of his plan, he needed to go towards a populated city and use Qinghe as bait to make some males think they have hit the jackpot and that they are going to be owned by a beautiful woman who would improve their lives, only for her to bait them to him so he could absorb them!

He changed both his and her looks to look handsome but not very as to not attract too much attention, however, their face structure and their height and weight were different from before, combined with the masked life force they wouldn't be recognized by anyone, if Martata would look at Qinghe now she would think she was a stranger she never met in her life.

Manipulating Qinghe was rather easy as the seed of doubt was the place in her mind already, who was she supposed to believe in? Her mother's teachings for almost 18 years or Yun Jhin the love of her life for one year or so?

It could be said that love made fools out of people and in Qinghe's case it was totally true, she decided to go with what Yun Jhin told her, and that was he needed to liberate as many males as possible from this dictatorship of sexes, they were all brainwashed and they needed to be freed!

If Qinghe's mind was right she would have countered with the fact that he could help them by actually teaching them his ideologies and helping them get stronger, but now she was so far in love with him that she would take anything he said as the truth, and love wasn't the only factor that made her so foolish, Yun Jhin messed with her soul and brain a bit so she was more receptive to his thoughts and personality which was slowly influencing her's as well. This was what she got for fully opening her heart to him.

Yun Jhin gave her a small peck on the lips as he pushed her from behind, they were now in a random city Yun Jhin chose, they were in a big crowd and he made her seem as if she looked for males to add to her reverse harem, most female phoenixes had at least 5 males in their harems, and only the most impressive ones were allowed to impregnate them, the others were used as toys. Having a kid with them would increase their social standing and it could even explode if it was a daughter. The man could hold his head up and say, I have a daughter!

It didn't take much time for Qinghe to come back to Yun Jhin who was now in an alleyway waiting for her, the few men that followed her were puzzled as to why they were led here but before they could say anything at all their mouths opened in horror as they saw Yun Jhin moving towards them.

He already killed a few batches by now and his hands were bloody, combined with the strange look in his eyes made the meek males behind her so scared that they almost fainted.

Yun Jhin looked down at his hands and saw three heads in them, the corpses behind Qinghe fell soundlessly as they dissipated and the heads in his hands did the same along with the blood on his hands.

In total Yun Jhin reached around 8,000 of them now. Things were a bit too slow for him but considering how scattered they were this was the best he could do, if he killed females the authorities of the planet would actually start to move, as long as he kept the killing of males balanced enough and at random places among the planet it wouldn't trigger any response.

Qinghe felt like she had a pit in her stomach seeing her beloved actions, but when he looked into her eyes that pit disappeared as if it was filled with the boundless love she had for him, Yun Jhin slowly approached her as he grabbed her now thin waist and her lips inched closer to her ear as he gave her praise:

"You did very well my darling, we shall continue with two thousand more, right?"

Qinghe's eyes glossed over as Yun Jhin's mind control intensified, she just nodded her head as the information of a new alleyway appeared, doing the crime too many times in one spot could be risky, so Yun Jhin marked abandoned alleyways that they could use and decided to swap between them after they killed a certain number of males.

Yun Jhin licked his lips as he saw Qinghe coming with another batch, this was supposed to be the last one in this city as if he killed any more he would gather attention, with them he would reach 10,000 and that would mean he fulfilled 10% of the requirements of the system!

Yun Jhin gave out a gentle smile to Qinghe, the puzzled males behind her were still wondering why were they led to an abandoned alleyway, was her house around these parts?

Yun Jhin was looking prim and proper in their eyes as he didn't brutalize the others like he did the first time, after a few tens of brutalized kills he got bored of it and decided to go ahead and do it quickly and cleanly.

Their heads flew into the air and no drops of blood splattered anywhere as the corpses and heads disappeared at the same time.

Yun Jhin patted his back and Qinghe jumped on it as he disappeared from the city using his speed and stealth technique.

He decided to recover his ki at a preplanned place and decided to continue her brainwashing as he talked with her:

"You have done a great job there darling, we are done with 10% of our goal, don't you think that's great?"

Qinghe had a cute smile on her face as she grasped Yun Jhin's hand and told him with a meek tone:

"Whatever I can do for you, darling..."

Yun Jhin patted her head and gave her a small peck on the lips as he said:

"You want us to do anything now darling?"

Qinghe shook her head as she told him with an earnest expression:

"No, first we have to liberate more males from their oppression, just like you told me to, we can do this type of stuff later when we have finished!"

Yun Jhin's eyes flickered for half a second as he patted her head again and muttered:

"Good girl, a very good girl, keep it up like this, and I might not even have to discard you..."

Qinghe was too happy being called a good girl to hear the later parts of Yun Jhin's sentence, it seemed she was thoroughly brainwashed...
