Surviving The Fourth Calamity

”We’re not that stupid.” The male Knight behind Zhu Meili couldn’t help but laugh, ”Everyone standing here understands that the most important thing for the family right now is survival.

Even those peripheral members actually understand this in their hearts.

Although they dislike the Proud Sky Alliance, they don’t necessarily want us to confront it.

No, it should be said, they aren’t planning to officially fight with the Proud Sky Alliance.”

”What they want is actually troublesome.

They want us to give the Proud Sky Alliance trouble, yet they don’t want things to get too tense, after all, they’re here to play games and just want some fun.

Heh~

Besides, the time they’ve given us isn’t much.” Zhu Meili casually fiddled with her fingers and smiled, ”We successfully tricked Black and White Path this time, probably buying us about a year’s time.

When that time comes, if we still look up to the Proud Sky Alliance, morale will probably dissipate.

Moreover, the paths we can see are always visible to the wise ones.

Surviving in the cracks, although difficult, if we succeed, we’ll live the easiest.

Keep trying~”

”Doomsday...” The male Knight hesitantly asked.

”Road Eunuch’s current starting point is all for his boss, he won’t let us drag Doomsday into this.” Zhu Meili shook her finger, ”Helping us in secret is fine as long as it’s not exposed in the open.

Formal alliance is impossible, don’t even think about it.”

”Sigh... I hope this place can remain.” The Knight said with a bit of wistfulness, ”Although not too hopeful, if we could return to a newbie village, things would be a bit better for us.”

Zhu Meili shook her head: ”Although Snow Old Dog stopped that Baldy, I still have an ominous feeling.

They’re more familiar with the deities, should know some insider news, so... I guess something big is going to happen.”

”Snow Old Dog probably guessed that you could guess, right?” The surprised Knight couldn’t help but say something tongue-twisting.

”He’s also calculating my reaction.” Zhu Meili pouted, ”After I separated from that End of the World Romance guy, my style of doing things will definitely be different from before.

If it were in the past, even if I felt something was wrong, can I endure it?

That guy wouldn’t allow me to give up such a big cake, so we appear particularly rash and self-harming.

Heh~ He overthinks it.

Every penny spent now is my own hard-earned money!

If it weren’t for Road Eunuch mentioning Snow Old Dog grooming Mobi Chenxin, that foolish kid, I wouldn’t have invested so much in the Desert!”

”Ah...” The lady who had been in a daze on the other side suddenly couldn’t take it anymore and spoke up, ”I say Zhu Meili, can you change your fake voice when saying these things?

I know you used to do voice acting, but please, the baby voice really doesn’t suit you, okay?

Next time use the Perfect Bald look when you say it!

Have you been hooked on watching some children’s cartoons again?

How old are you!”

”Tsk~” Zhu Meili spoke again, this time with a clear male voice, ”Don’t you find it interesting?

Only there can pure innocence truly exist!”

”No, only kids find it pure, even if we watch that stuff, we see it with a belly full of sarcasm.” The girl dressed as a Priest couldn’t help but retort, ”If people knew Zhu Meili spent days watching the 5-8 year-old children’s channel on TV, they’d probably think you’re a pervert.”

”Huh? Ah...” Zhu Meili’s beautiful face showed a bizarre innocent expression, ”Am I not perverted enough now?

I think by now they should’ve renamed me, right?

How about Zhu Hudie? Isn’t it much better sounding than Zhu Meili?”

”If you truly want to cut ties with the past, why not choose...”

The confused words of the Female Priest were directly interrupted by Zhu Meili: ”Is that something I can decide?

I initially went for venomous insects like scorpions, but the only one who took a liking to me was Little Confused.

Wow~

You know how hard it is for me to find a creature that likes me outside that valley?

Hill really holds grudges!

Even with a different appearance... I accepted not being able to enter that valley, but for even the flora and fauna outside to dislike me, that’s just too much!

Truly~

I will always love my Little Confused, she gave me so much encouragement, even if everyone despises me, she still spreads her wings for me.”

”Whatever you say~” The Female Priest reluctantly pressed her hand to her forehead.

Zhu Meili, despite her extraordinary abilities and decent temperament... Otherwise, she wouldn’t have tolerated that idiot End of the World Romance for so long. Though her few deputies worked hard, because Zhu Meili dealt with that idiot most of the time, life was bearable.

A bit of hard work is nothing, it’s all about making money~

But no one knows if they’ll walk away when treated like a dog by someone else, it’s not like they can’t survive without it.

Although they love money, they aren’t completely without pride, otherwise, they wouldn’t have left the game world with Zhu Meili when he got ousted.

Nonetheless, there’s always this naive extreme nature in him.

Sometimes, the seemingly innocent evil of a child is what truly gives people the creeps.

Like playing with bugs.

Playing with bugs in the latrine.

This kind of thing adults just find disgusting, only clueless kids think bugs are fun.

The few of them held on, really because they had suffered too much from Zhu Meili’s impulsive whims over the years.

But other family members couldn’t do it, they’re all staying on the periphery now, watching Black and White Path’s movements, in case they strike back.

”Hmm...” Zhu Meili looked up, ”A big showdown is coming!”

Although he couldn’t sense the specific thoughts of those Little Confused progeny, he could still feel a bit of emotion changing.

Of course, it wasn’t fear.

It was excitement.

Excitement to continue thriving and reproducing.

The level of happiness was about the same as when they sensed the energy during Asmodeus’s crazy strike.

”What are you doing? Look at the tablet!” The Female Priest behind him spoke grumpily, ”We can pretend like that when we have a giant screen later.”

”Ah... Old subordinates are such troublesome creatures.” Zhu Meili murmured as he fished out his tablet and started looking down, ”Tsk~ M~DA~

This is like thinking since it’s already like this, let’s all just be ugly together?

What kind of stuff is this?”

-----------------

”Is that the Slaran?” ’Snow Cloud Peak’ felt his nerves were truly challenged, ”Is it Sendam? She’s actually willing to come here for Gaia?”

”Probably not, it’s not golden.” ’Perfect Bald’ moaned twice, clutching his forehead, ”It’s probably Sorel? The one who wants to be the Slaran Lord’s adjutant.

Even though the Slaran don’t really cooperate, Sendam can still convey her will.

For Slaran who seek absolute chaos, this place is quite suitable, with plenty of food.”

”Are you joking?” ’Snow Cloud Peak’ was a bit confused.

”No, I’m serious.” ’Perfect Bald’ sighed, ”While none of the Slaran want to listen to Sendam, they’ll support any effort she makes to expand the race.

Endless worms are truly the best survival resource for those young frogs.”

”Zhu Meili... Did she miscalculate this time?” ’Snow Cloud Peak’ would never doubt what ’Perfect Bald’ reads from his tablet.

”Not necessarily.” ’Perfect Bald’ desperately covered his forehead, ”Neither of the other sides have sent their people yet, have they?”

A piercing scream resounded from the giant screen, and both of them furrowed their brows, looking over with pained expressions, then turned their heads back with even more painful expressions.

It was an ugly humanoid creature, covered with festering black pustules, oozing black pus continuously... and wearing a white military uniform.

Memorably, that white uniform was completely unstained.

”What the hell is this?” ’Snow Cloud Peak’ felt the world was made to drive the Undead Tribe insane, ”Who brought this here, Rose?”

”It’s Asmodeus.” ’Perfect Bald’ said, clutching his head as he read from the tablet on his lap, ”That’s the Plague Demon King, a devil created by the Old Witch.

Looks like... It’s Toril’s remnant.

Remember? The thing in the lake in Chult.

The Old Witch that Asmodeus killed should’ve been its master.

Originally, this Demon King could gain freedom once it completed the task list given by its mistress, but... seems like it switched masters, probably had its mission directly converted as well.

Truly... a sin.”
