Chapter 832 - Nice To Meet You All
Although this was a good start for the humans, they were far from being out of risk. In any case, compared to their lives up to this point, this was still a huge improvement.
Of course, neither the Zasfins nor the demon beasts were idiots. There were bound to be many Zasfins who wouldn't give their humans up. After all, it was already considered a type of market in the Zasfin territories. Many would surely be hidden, killed, and so on. That's something that Rean and Roan can do nothing about.
Later that day, the twins gathered all the Freedom Sect members who participated in this war. Sure enough, even though there were only a few between the demon beasts, the sect did lose quite a few members.
It wasn't all bad news, though. Many of the members achieved breakthroughs during this war. It was a lot better than eventually being converted into Soul Stones after their use in the Bloodline Trial Control Formations was over.
"Very good," Roan said. "I'm sure that quite a few of you are bothered by the number of losses we had during this war. However, that's how war works. Now that you have a sect, there are bound to be days where you'll have to fight other powers in the new human continent."
Rean then added, "There's good news about the new continent, though. Although it isn't one of the best areas for cultivation, it isn't the worst either. Wringan Continent can be considered a pretty average continent. For the weakest race of this planet, this is already a very good outcome."
Roan agreed with Rean's words, saying in response, "Exactly. Anyways, during the next few days, we will help the demon beasts secure the territories we conquered. Once that is over, we will be returning to the Freedom Sect to pack things up." After that, Roan looked at Glennie, Fala, and Wakaba. As mentioned before, Malo and Poliana stayed in the sect, so only these three came. "You three should help Rafin organize everything."
The three girls quickly nodded before replying in unison, "Yes."
It was then that one of the sect members asked, "By the way..." He looked at Calina beside Roan, "Who is she?"
"Oh! That's Roan's beloved girlfriend. The only person in the world that can make the icy aura around himself melt...just a single drop," Rean answered straight away, which made Roan's mouth twitch in response.
Naturally, everyone thought that to be a joke.
"Hahaha! That can't be right."
"Ancestor Roan doesn't even know what love is."
"Ancestor Rean is too funny."
"As if such a thing could happen. Who is she, really?"
Even Calina, who was part of the discussion, had to do her best to not laugh out loud. As for Rean, he was already on the ground, laughing while holding his belly.
As for Roan, he felt like giving every single one of these guys a beating. "Is that so? Good thing you know me that well. That also means I can increase your training schedule by three times while you're here."
Sure enough, all the smiles on the sect members' faces disappeared! "That's not fair!"
"The world has never been fair to start with," Roan answered straight away.
Calina then took a deep breath as she got close to Roan, telling them, "Ahem...he might be an ice block, but he is MY ice block. Don't tease him too much, or he might become even colder."
*Wow!*
"So it is true!"
"Unbelievable!"
"No, don't fall for that, everyone. This is probably another test Ancestor Roan is giving us."
"Yes. Look, Roan doesn't even flinch when his girlfriend comes so close. It was all planned."
Calina smiled in response as she looked at Roan before telling him, "You hear them, right? Are you really going to leave me looking like a liar?"
Roan couldn't care less about what the others thought about him. Nevertheless, Calina's words still had some effect on him. Eventually, Roan gave up and grabbed Calina's waist before stealing a kiss in front of everyone.
*WoW!*
"So it is true."
"Calina is truly brave!"
"What did she see in that guy, though?"
"Right? I wouldn't be able to bear with that."
Rean then intervened in their conversation, saying, "Alright, guys. Stop with it. You must understand that demons can love as well, even if that demon is the demon king. Now, go away since Rafin should have your work cut out for you."
"Yes, Ancestor Rean." All the sect members nodded and quickly left before Roan gave them any other punishment.
Roan didn't care about being called a demon king. In a certain way, he felt that it quite fit his personality. After that, he looked at Rean before asking, "Shouldn't you be going after Qia? She's still under the Hafel Clan's hands, no?"
Rean shook his head as he replied, "Don't worry. I already talked with Sevinia through the Spiritual Smartphone that Qia has. She should be coming out with the first batch of humans."
Naturally, the first batch was the humans who were brought to the war. After all, the Zasfins still needed their forces to do the menial jobs while the battles continued. It was decided that those humans would be the first to be delivered as a token of trust that the Zasfins would carry their part of the agreement.
Sure enough, a Freedom Sect member came to talk with Rean a while later, telling him that the humans were already on their way to the demon beasts' side. Rean went straight to the drop-off point. There, he saw Qia jumping off the airship and flying down towards him. One must remember that she was already in the Core and Soul Fusion Realm, so flying was possible.
The two were a lot more open about their relationship than Roan and Calina, so they kissed right there, in front of the other sect members. Rean then looked at those guys and introduced her. "This is Qia, my wife."
Qia smiled at the rest of the group as she said in response, "Nice to meet you all."
