Chapter 361: Chapter 361: Zi Ran’s Admirer (Please Follow)

Imperial Base City, inside the Venerable Alliance, in the Vice Alliance Hierarch’s Main Hall, a meeting was underway.

On either side of the large seats sat one Elder after another, each with a powerful and imposing aura, while the main seat at the head of the table belonged to a rugged-looking middle-aged man.

"Elders, the Alliance Hierarch is away on business right now, so the affairs of the Venerable Alliance would be handled by me, you all don’t have any objections, right?" the rugged middle-aged man said,

The Elders exchanged looks, clasped their fists, and smiled, "With Vice Alliance Hierarch Ouyang managing the affairs, I have no objections."

"Neither do I, Alliance Leader Ouyang is the direct descendant of our Venerable Alliance’s Supreme Elder, it should have been you in charge anyway."

"We know Alliance Leader Ouyang’s capabilities, no one could be more suitable."

More than half of the Elders chimed in and flattered him, while only a few remained silent.

The middle-aged man, Ouyang Xuan, was very pleased with the Elders’ attitude, nodded, and said, "Since that’s the case, for the benefit of our alliance, I’ve decided to move up the once-every-decade third-class core Secret Realm trial by a year, and open it up three days from now."

The silent Elders immediately spoke up, saying, "Vice Alliance Hierarch, you can’t, after every opening of the core Secret Realm, the resources and Demon Beasts inside take heavy losses. They need time to recover so we can reuse it and continue to gain resources."

"That’s right, the rule is to open it once every ten years, the third-class core Secret Realm can’t be opened until next year, or else it will disrupt the balance within the Secret Realm and cause huge losses."

Ouyang Xuan’s face darkened.

The flattering Elders immediately raised their voices, saying,

"It’s just one year earlier, not five, no way that’ll disrupt the Secret Realm’s natural balance."

"Alliance Leader Ouyang is doing this for the Venerable Alliance, not for his personal gain, what’s the big deal about moving it up a year?"

"So what if it’s earlier, it’s just a third-class core Secret Realm, there are second-class ones above that, then first-class, and even a special class!"

Core Secret Realms only opened on certain dates; most of the time they remained sealed.

The second-class Secret Realm opened once a century, the first-class once every thousand years, and the special Secret Realm once every five thousand years.

Each higher grade meant the resources inside multiplied a hundredfold, especially the special Secret Realm, which only opened every five thousand years and contained unfathomable resources.

There were as many as fifteen third-class Secret Realms, five second-class, two first-class, and only one special Secret Realm.

The rugged middle-aged Ouyang Xuan tapped his fingers on the chair several times, making a deep, thudding sound, saying, "Enough arguing."

The ten Elders immediately fell silent.

"The minority must obey the majority, raise your hand if you agree to open the third-class core Secret Realm ahead of schedule," Ouyang Xuan said,

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"

When his words fell, six Elders instantly raised their hands in agreement, two hesitated for a moment before also agreeing. The only remaining two, seeing everyone else had raised their hands, gave up resisting and reluctantly raised theirs as well.

"Hahahaha!" The rugged middle-aged man laughed heartily, "Good, since no one has any objections, then the third-class Secret Realms that were supposed to open next year will all open the day after tomorrow, together with the third-class Secret Realms scheduled for this year."

In the depths of Ouyang Xuan’s eyes, a scheming glint flashed. He obviously wasn’t opening the Secret Realms early just for the Venerable Alliance, he had private motives—benefiting his own clan.

The Supreme Elder was the Ouyang Clan’s reclusive ancestor who cared little for the family these days, and the Venerable Alliance was not some personal empire of the Supreme Elder. The Supreme Elder rarely interfered in alliance affairs. The rules had been laid down by generations of alliance leaders for over ten thousand years, and even as Vice Alliance Hierarch, he had to follow them.

The Ouyang Family was not part of the Venerable Alliance; they couldn’t get alliance resources. Now that he held the position of Vice Alliance Hierarch, it was only natural he tried to profit for his family.

As the meeting ended, six loyal Elders stayed behind, while the other four left.

"Alliance Hierarch, if you ask me, you’re the Supreme Elder’s direct heir. The True Alliance Leader should be you."

"Exactly, Alliance Hierarch Ziran might be strong and capable, but she’s just a woman, and she hasn’t formed a contract. After all this time as leader, she’s still failed to win the crowd."

Ouyang Xuan pressed down with his hand, saying, "There’s no need to say any more, Ziran is completely suited to be the Alliance Hierarch, no question about it. Go do whatever you should be doing, I have business to handle."

The six Elders sighed and left, disgruntled.

Ouyang Xuan’s face suddenly turned gloomier than ever as he raised his hand and brought it down hard on the armrest.

With a bang, his aura exploded, setting off a level-twelve gale.

"That bitch Ziran, someday I’ll get her into my bed, get you in my hands, make you submit to me, make you love me!"

*He’d been drooling over Ziran’s face and body for ages.*

Besides, once he got his hands on her, Ziran would be his wife, and with both the True and Vice Alliance Hierarchs coming from the Ouyang Family, wouldn’t the Venerable Alliance basically become his family’s playground?

As for his current Contractor wife? He’d kick her to the curb—that woman was ugly as hell and had a temper to match. She wasn’t even close to Ziran’s standards.

*Whenever he screwed his wife, it was Ziran he pictured in his mind.*

"Ding-a-ling!" Right then, the communicator rang, and when he saw who it was, his face lit up with joy.

It was Ziran calling.

That scowl immediately vanished, replaced by a broad, cheery smile.

"Xiao Ziran, having fun out there?" he made his voice deep and charming.

A cold snort came from the communicator—it was Ziran’s voice, "Don’t call me Xiao Ziran, am I that little to you?"

Ouyang Xuan pictured a bombshell of a woman in a purple skirt, and said, "Of course not, you’re big."

Ziran’s face darkened. She replied coldly, "You talk like that and it seriously disgusts me. Also, stop calling me Xiao Ziran, call me by my full name or as Alliance Hierarch."

Ouyang Xuan chuckled and said, "Ziran, what do you want with me, are you trying to ask me out for dinner? I’ll say yes!"

Ziran was speechless, "Stop fantasizing. Where are you now? I’m coming to see you, we’ve got business."

After reporting his location, Ouyang Xuan felt a surge of excitement, straightened himself up, fixed his outfit, trimmed his beard, styled his hair in what he thought was a handsome look, and waited at the door.

Meanwhile,

Ziran settled Yun Bing and Xiao Ye in the third-floor parlor of her Alliance Master’s Hall, then prepared to leave for the Vice Alliance Hierarch’s Main Hall.

Suddenly, Yun Bing spoke up in disapproval, "Ziran, your wardrobe is wild, huh? Lace panties, lace bras, bikini bottoms—it’s all here, thrown all over the couch. Xiao Ye saw it all."

Ziran just shrugged indifferently, "He’s seen me in my underwear plenty of times. It’s just a few pieces of clothing, let him look if he wants. I’m taking off—see you in an hour."

Yun Bing pouted. "True that. During our time at the hot springs, Xiao Ye not only saw you, he copped a feel. So it’s just a few bits of underwear, not a big deal."

"But Ziran’s bras are just a little bigger than mine."

Outside the Vice Alliance Hierarch’s Main Hall,

Ziran—dressed in her signature purple skirt—hurried in, greeted by the rugged middle-aged Ouyang Xuan.
