Death… And Me Chapter 762 - The First One

Chapter 762 - The First One

Later, Malo's group went to see the twins to talk about what they decided to do. Well, it was more like a group of people holding a hostage during a trial, or so it looked like when one looked at Malo. Somehow, Roan couldn't help but remember the time he was forced into the Reincarnation Door because Rean didn't let him go. And that...made him feel quite pleased. 'It's good to see that I'm not the only one.'

Nevertheless, he quickly put those thoughts behind before looking at everyone, saying, "So, you decided to transform this place into a sect for humans, huh?"

Poliana nodded, replying, "Yes. In the end, we don't really want to separate. Sure, we'll take opportunities to head out and gain experience. But ultimately, we want to head back to our sect."

Falas agreed with Poliana, continuing where she left off, "We do have everything we need. Ancestors, which would be you four. We also have the elders, the disciples, and a harmonious environment."

Hearing that, Rean warned them, "Although I don't mind being considered one of the ancestors, you better understand that we're not here for you anymore. We won't intervene unless something grave happens. For example, another Stage Five or Nascent Soul Realm cultivator suddenly decides to attack this place. If not for something like that, you will all deal with whatever problem yourselves. Are you sure you're up to the task?"

Glennie nodded, responding, "Don't worry, Rean, Roan. We already have our sect leader to make sure everything works out. Right, Malo?"

Malo looked with a gloomy expression at Rean and Roan as he asked them, "Ahem...Rean, Roan, don't you think it's a bad idea for a man to be the sect leader of a sect mostly filled with women?"

Rean and Roan shook their heads as Rean replied, "Why would it be? Since it was the women themselves who selected you, then it's fine. We would have a problem with it if you forced your way into the position, which is obviously not the case." They were definitely enjoying Malo's suffering, so how could they say something different?

Malo felt even more dejected after hearing that. "Is there really no other way? I just want to focus on my training, nothing else."

Rean then patted Malo's shoulder, saying, "Don't worry. Being a sect leader, especially one in a sect full of women, will definitely help in your development."

"What kind of development?" Malo asked, somewhat confused.

Rean then looked through the window as he soon said, "Isn't it such a nice day today?"

Malo's mouth twitched in response, cursing inwardly, 'Even you don't believe it at all! You just don't want to take this role either!'

On the side, Kentucky's face was as gloomy as Malo's, muttering, "I really wanted to be the sect leader."

"Shut up! You just wanted more attention. Don't you think I can't tell?" Rean rebuked.

"So what?! I love being treated by them. They brush my feathers, give me food, pet my body... it's great! What's the problem with that?!" Kentucky didn't let go either.

Well, his words were more than enough for even Malo to agree that Kentucky definitely couldn't be the sect leader. "Sigh...fine. I'll see what I can do. However, I won't sacrifice my training schedule for this position. With that said, I can only 'lead' when I'm free. If not, all of you will have to help me."

Poliana and the others nodded after hearing that. They knew that one thing was right about Malo's complaints. This was, after all, a sect mostly filled with women. Leaving everything up to Malo to take care of would eventually turn to be a disaster. The reason everyone wanted him to be the sect leader was due to how much the sect members trusted Malo. He had always been a role model for both women and men in their lives.

Wataba then gave him a pat on the back as she laughed, saying, "Hahaha! That's obvious, isn't it? Now then. How about we discuss what our next steps will be?"

Rean raised his hands, saying, "First things first. Although this war between demon beasts and Zasfins should take a long time, it will eventually be over. That said, this is the Demon Beast Continent. I don't think the demon beasts will allow a human sect to take root here for long. Remember, you have to think about the day you'll be moving to the new continent if we win."

Malo couldn't help but ask, "What if the demon beasts lose?"

Rean playfully smiled at Malo, saying in response, "Why are you asking me? You're the sect leader. Make your own decisions. Besides, you do have a few 'elders' on your side to think about it." Rean then pointed at the airs.h.i.+p stationed outside. "You have an airs.h.i.+p capable of moving everyone at once. That's why I bought that thing with our merit points. Get the jade slip maps, investigate the regions, think about it well! It's all up to you guys now."

Malo immediately felt the pressure on his shoulders increasing. "O-okay. In that case, we should not think about building anything big for the time being. After all, it'll be annoying when the time to leave comes."

Poliana couldn't help but ask Rean, "Can't we simply use your Spatial Dimension to move things?" However, she immediately noticed the problem with that question. "Oh, right...forget what I said. We're talking about a scenario where we wouldn't have your help."

Roan was satisfied to hear that, saying, "Very good. Seems like you all understand what I meant about taking care of yourselves. Don't always a.s.sume that Rean, Kentucky, Gola, or I will be here to help you."

Malo then switched the topic, saying, "Okay, we have enough Spiritual Energy to cultivate, thanks to Celis. However, we'll need to ama.s.s resources so that the sect can survive even if Celis disappears. Simply put, we need Spirit Stones."

Rean agreed with him. "Exactly. The Spirit Stones that Roan and I have are plenty, but those Spirit Stones are ours. With that, don't expect me to give you any from now on."

As Rean said that, Malo suddenly had an idea. "Right! We need to think about missions for our sect, right? Then, that shall be the very first one."
