Erotic Adventures in the Omniverse: Vampire Lord got too many wives-Chapter 307: Shorty
After walking out of Wang Jia's house, Rong Fu along with Xiao Rong and one of the guards, went directly to the Buddhist sect, after travelling for some time they were able to reach their destination because of their incredible speed.
Arriving in front of the gate of the Buddhist sect, Rong Fu walked to the guards standing there and spoke in a commanding tone:
" Inform your Patriarch that Rong Fu has come here to deliver a message from the king, hurry up I don't have much time to waste. " source-at-NovelFire
Listening to his words, one of the men standing guard at the door hurriedly walked inside the sect, while the rest observed their group, especially Xiao Rong who stood at the back of the group.
As Rong Fu waited, he saw a man running towards him, as he got closer Rong Fu recognised him as one of the guards that came with them.
After getting closer the guards respectfully bowed in front of Rong Fu and then looked at his friend who stood there smirking as if he had won a big reward, then his eyes went to Xiao Rong, who stood there with a dead expression, her face seemed pale, and yet she looked no less beautiful then always.
" Sir, the Godly Prophet had asked me to come here in case you don't have the time to deliver the message. "
The guard said, and after seeing Rong Fu nod he walked beside the first guard who was already present there, they began to chat among themselves, while the first guard kept boasting about his achievements of beating so many of people at Wang Jia's house.
After a couple more minutes, the gate to the sect opened, and the guard bowed respectfully before saying:
" Please enter, our Patriarch is waiting for you inside. "
Rong Fu didn't even look at him as he gestured towards Xiao Rong to move, she had no expression on her face, as she followed behind her father, right now she wanted nothing more than to just put a knife through her heart, but remembering her mother's face she can't do anything.
Even now Rong Fu had used Lao Rong as a way to blackmail her to come, but no matter what she didn't want to be with anyone other than Jayden, just thinking of marrying that king, she felt as if her heart was about to stop, her eyes were red and filled with tears and Jayden's image kept appearing in her mind.
As she walked behind Rong Fu, she hoped that some kind of miracle would happen and either she could run away from everything or at least she could die peacefully.
Rong Fu glanced at Xiao Rong, but her mental condition didn't matter to him much as long as she married the king he would be able to obtain everything he could ever want, then with greed filled eyes, his resolution to get through with his daughter's marriage got even stronger.
" Sir, please go inside, Patriarch is waiting for you here. "
After walking for a few minutes, they finally appeared in front of a big hall, the disciple standing outside gestures respectfully for them to enter, Rong Fu walked arrogantly as he entered the hall, inside a man in his fifties was sitting on a chair.
Although it didn't look like a throne, but still it looked quite expensive, the man in front of them was bald and was wearing an orange robe, he was holding a string that was filled with many beads, and he had his eyes closed when all four of them entered the hall.
After chanting some strange lines, the patriarch of the Buddhist sect finally opened his eyes and looked at them, his eyes passed over everyone and stayed at Xiao Rong the longest, before moving to her father.
[ A/N: For some reason I read the Buddhist sect as bullshit sect. ]
Then he stood up and every one who had seen him for the first time were all surprised, since his height was just 4.6 feet, and he looked very short in front of all of them, but his expression looked calm, serene and a little bit of disdain.
Stepping towards Rong Fu, both the men bowed in front of each other as a firm of greeting, before Rong Fu spoke:
" Sir patriarch, I have heard a lot about you, and I have to say you... You are nothing like the rumours. "
In response to his words, the patriarch showed no expression and just nodded:
" Mr. Rong, thank you for coming all the way here, if I'm not wrong you must be here to deliver the message from the king. "
Saying that the short man waited for Rong Fu to respond, who just kept staring at him for a few seconds, deep in his thoughts then clearing his throat he spoke:
" That is indeed the case but if you don't mind can I ask something? It's a bit personal. "
Flipping the beads in his hands, the Patriarch nodded without much thought, as Rong Fu began to ask in a whisper:
" Um, isn't it difficult for you to uh,... "
Then he paused, creating suspense and after a few seconds he continued:
" ... to try different positions during that with such height? "
Rong Fu asked with a curious expression.
Even the short patriarch was stunned after hearing his question, after coughing lightly he decided to just ignore it and spoke: freёnovelkiss.com
" Before we all get to some serious talks, let me show you all my hospitality, you can give me some of your time, right? "
After thinking for a few moments, Rong Fu glanced back at his daughter who stood there showing no expression on her face, then he nodded and said with a laugh:
" Alright, a little rest won't hurt I guess. Hahaha "
They chatted, and the patriarch brought them to a different room, where a lot of food was already placed, Rong Fu allowed both the guards to join at their table, but Xiao Rong wasn't in the mood to eat anything currently.
The short man looked at her curiously, it wasn't like he got to see such beautiful girls every day, with a strange glint in his eyes he thought:
' Oh lord, please help this worshipper of yours, since I might commit a sin soon, but I'll be sure to distribute food among the poor after this. '
Xiao Rong also felt the dwarf like man's intense gaze, but she kept looking away not giving him any of her attention.
Seeing his gaze, Rong Fu decided to speak:
" This is my daughter, Xiao Rong, you must have heard about her, also she is going to marry the king in the near future. "
Hearing these words, Xiao Rong just bit her lips so hard that she could taste something warm filling her mouth.
But on the other hand, the dwarf had a stunned expression, all the idea about her he had were immediately thrown out of the window, he couldn't afford to offend the king right now, despite being in the mid stage of the Spirit Strengthening realm.
" Haha, I have heard a lot about her, she is quite a genius from the Divine Sword Sect. "
The dwarf said after a moment of waiting to calm himself, after they were full, Rong Fu and the guards sat back at their seats, with satisfied expressions, then Rong Fu spoke:
" So, should we talk about the important stuff now? "
The dwarf nodded, and a serious expression appeared on his face.
" Have you found any new evidence related to that massacre? Or have you found where did all those people disappeared to? "
Rong Fu asked in a solemn tone.
With a shake of his head, the dwarf spoke:
" We haven't been able to find anything, it was like the land itself devoured them all, even the entire bandit group had disappeared, I think it might be the work of some powerful cultivators, I want to ask for some more people from the king for protection and we will need some more time before continuing our research since nothing was left intact, we have some data but other than that we would have to start from the scratch.
" The dwarf finished.
" More people? All the other sects at most have only one person in the Spirit Strengthening realm, while the king had allowed over 10 such strong people in this sect, not counting you, I think that would be a hard request but the king is the one who will make the final decision.
I'll give your request to the king and as for your research, it is very important for our Kingdom, you should sped it up as much as you could, take however many people you would need as sacrifices, but we need results. "
Rong Fu told all this in an authoritative tone, making the dwarf slightly angry from inside, he had also heard the news of Rong Fu's daughter marrying the king, but no matter what he couldn't do anything, glancing to the side he could feel his heart jumping in excitement and yearning, he wondered if he could do something to cancel the marriage, that would be hitting two birds with one stone, he could stop Rong Fu from obtaining so much influence and power and also get this beautiful girl for himself.
' But it is too risky of a thing, I have to play my cards carefully, or I might end up angering that fatty king. ' The dwarf thought.
" Alright I will do my best with the research, and since the last batch of people was freed we need more people, and all the bandits assigned for this task were already dead, so we will need new people. "
He said, in a concerning tone while his head worked overtime, thinking of possible ways to sabotage Rong Fu.
" You don't have to worry about that, the king had already thought of that and he had sent his orders to meet another bandit group, such things are disposable, we just need to use them for as long as they are useful, the moment they become useless, we throw them out. "
Rong Fu had a cruel smile on his face while saying that, with this sentence, he was also sending a clear message towards the short man in front of him, since just by his eyes Rong Fu could easily interpret what he wanted, Rong Fu is a man who had to look out for the smallest of opportunity to climb the ladder, and so he was all too familiar with the thinking of people similar to him.
' This bastard is taking me too lightly, haa I need to be extra careful, or I might- '
*TAK* *TAK* *TAK* *TAK*
While deep in thought, the string in his hand suddenly snapped and all the beads fell on the floor, with a frown the dwarf like man looked at this, and then with a wave of his hands, he gathered all the beads in his hands, and calls out:
" Little dog, come here in this instant. "
The two guards who were still devouring the food were startled, but without stopping the movement of their mouths they looked at the bald man, whose face had turned red in anger.
A thin man, wearing a red robe came running in, he bowed in front of the dwarf and asked:
" Patriarch, what orders do you have for me- "
But cutting his words, the Patriarch stood up and slapped the servant hard, throwing him away as he hit the wall hard.
Both of the guards finally stopped chewing, with their mouths still full of food they looked between the man called Little Dog and the short Patriarch, with a gulp they just pushed the food down their throats and placed the spoon back on the table, before wiping their face, and sitting back on their chairs.
Rong Fu had an indifferent expression on his face, he knew that this shorty was doing it all just to intimidate him.
