Rise Of The Worm Sovereign

"Goddammit! The Broken Cliff Division has finally lost their mind!" Wang Xiong cursed as he looked at the ten meter long report that was just presented to him.

There were lines upon lines of problems that had started and the issues that they were now having a hard time dealing with.

"Can't guardian Yun help us with this?" Ye Jin asked, pointing to some of the things.

"He can only do so much without arousing suspicion. Don't forget the elders of both the Broken Cliff division, and the Broken Plains divisor already felt strange that he interfered in the meeting six months ago.

Since that day they are wary about him. Especially since the lower ranked elders had never seen him before." Wang Xiong replied.

~Sigh~

"We have power, but we are helpless. If this is not misery, then I don't know what is…" Ye Jin said.

Ye Jing shook her head until a radical idea appeared in her mind.

"What about senior…?" Ye Jin asked.

"You know very well why we can't ask him for help… his situation is even more sensitive than Guardian Yun." Wang Xiong replied.

"But didn't he say that we can always ask him for help if we need it?" Ye Jin retorted. "And seeing our current condition, we need it gravely. Besides… if we don't succeed in our plans, we will be letting down Senior anyway." 

Wang Xiong wanted to respond to this but couldn't find the answer. He knew that his Dao companion was right and they were at an impasse. But at the same time, he felt ashamed of himself.

He had proudly told Lin Wu that he would handle everything himself. But now he was going against problems he had never thought would exist. He also felt a bit lost because of his old thoughts.

Originally, Wang Xiong had thought that he simply needed to breakthrough and everything would go well. Then, after he managed to do that, he thought that all he needed was to become the chief disciple and he would be set.

And that turned out to be wrong as well. Even after Lin Wu helped him out many times, Wang Xiong couldn't help but feel that he didn't deserve this all. 

"Will I really need to call him after all this?" Wang Xiong muttered to himself.

  Seeing the pain and restlessness in her Dao Companion's eyes, Ye Jin felt pained too. Her gaze softened as she approached him and hugged him from behind.

"I know you feel that you would be breaking your own promise if you are taking the help of others. But know this that it is not a sign of weakness. Rather, taking other's help makes you wise, since you know when to make use of all resources, whether they be your own power or your allies." Ye Jin spoke in Wang Xiong's ears.

Feeling her breath on his ears, Wang Xiong felt a sense of calm. It was the temporary relief he needed to think clearly, and he soon reached a conclusion. A look of determination appeared in his eyes before he spoke.

"I shall do it then…"

Back in the Millennium forest, a Great Feast was underway.

"AHAHAHA! NOW I KNOW WHY HUMANS LIKE THESE CEREMONIES!" The Twin Lights Liger King laughed out loud, his laughter turning into roars at the end.

"You are right! If I knew these were this fun, I would have gotten the beasts to make them hundreds of years ago!" The Split Thorn Horn beetle king laughed as well.

"Now, now. Control yourself, you two! One of you is a Dao Shell realm beast for, heaven's sake!" The Emeraldine Horn Beetle chided.

She had no fear of either the Split Thorn Horn beetle since he was her ancestor or the Twin Lights Liger King, since he was at the same rank as her in the end. The beasts under Lin Wu very well knew that as long as they were under him, they were all equal. 

~THUD~

A loud thud could be heard as a water tank sized cup landed on the stony floor, shaking it.

"Ahh! That hit the spot!" A certain worm said out loud.

Lin Wu looked at the Emeraldine monkeys with a toothy smile on his face and laughed.

"You guys should have told me earlier that you were making liquor! I would have prepared some recipes that are perfect for drinking!" Lin Wu said in a slightly slurred tone.

This slurred tone was something only those that were used to his voice would understand. For all others, it would just sound like another group of screeches, perhaps.

Though the Emeraldine Monkeys that heard these words could only smile wryly.

'Just making this wine that could affect those with a cultivation base of Nascent soul realm and Dao Shell realm took a massive amount of spirit grain. With your expectations of dishes, won't we just end up burning through our entire food storage?' The leader of the Emeraldine monkeys thought.

He had long since gotten used to Lin Wu's demands and how he liked to have his food. After all, Lin Wu had given them a lot of information about how to cook food the 'human' way and the means to make different dishes.

While the beasts had come to like the human dishes a lot too, they couldn't help but admit that a lot of things were simply too difficult for them to make on their own. Some needed a lot of ingredients that were rare and expensive to make that they couldn't afford with their current situation.

Still in the past six months, Lin Wu had asked them to regularly make good food that suited to his taste. And that was mostly things that were rich in spirit Qi and made of precious spirit herbs and beast meat.

It had reached a point where some of them had to leave the forest to hunt for some of the things.

The leader of the Emeraldine Monkeys couldn't wait for the humans to finally begin their cooperation so that his work load could reduce.
