Chapter 691: Preparation
Zhao Hai nodded and said, “Although it's not a lot, it's not too little either. Alright, let’s head outside the city first, and then I’ll have you tame these undead beings. Once each of you has tamed enough undead beings, I will attend to other matters.”
Tei and the others naturally had no objections; this was a good thing for them. They had never thought Zhao Hai would harm them. After all, they had genuinely followed Zhao Hai. If Zhao Hai really wanted to harm them, he wouldn’t have allowed them to reach level nine, so they trusted him immensely.
Zhao Hai led them quickly to the outskirts of Demon City and released a large number of undead beings. These undead beings were obtained from the Demon Abyss, and included both humanoid and beast forms. To the dark mages, there was no difference. Of course, while these undead beings may appear to be tamed by Tei and the others, they were still ultimately under Zhao Hai's control; he merely commanded them to follow Tei and the others.
With Zhao Hai’s orders, these undead beings cooperated exceptionally well, and Tei and the others proceeded very smoothly. Without Zhao Hai’s assistance, given their strength, they would have found it impossible to tame these undead beings, all of which were level nine in strength.
Before long, Tei and the others had successfully tamed the undead beings. Zhao Hai looked at them and said, “Get familiar with these undead beings and also with this terrain. We might have to engage with the demon clan here tomorrow. I have some matters to attend to in the city.”
Tei immediately said, “Young master, why don’t I go back with you? I’m more familiar with Demon City, and if anything comes up, I can handle it, saving you the trouble.”
Zhao Hai shook his head and replied, “You stay here. I just want to go to your place to rest for a bit. I’ll be back shortly. I’ll be resting here for the next couple of days, so you don’t need to worry about me.”
Ignoring Tei’s protests, he nodded in acknowledgment, and Zhao Hai then returned to the city, entering the Vigan Family’s house, while Berry followed closely behind him.
As soon as Zhao Hai entered the Vigan Family’s room, he turned to Berry and said, “Berry, if you’re really determined to follow me, I’ll take you to meet my wives now. I’ll treat all of you equally. I hope you can get along well. Can you do that?”
Berry looked at Zhao Hai and replied, “I’m loyal to the man I choose, so of course, I will listen to you.”
Zhao Hai nodded and said, “Good, then I’ll take you to see my biggest secret.” With that, he led Berry, and in a flash, they entered the space.
Berry stared in astonishment at the scenery within the space. Although the demon realm often described the Ark Continent as beautiful, Berry had been in the Demon Abyss since leaving the demon realm, where there was hardly any difference from the demon realm. Even arriving in Demon City, where the city was constructed to resemble the Demon Abyss, the scenery wasn’t much better. However, the space was different; it could be considered beautiful even compared to the continent. Being born in a place like the demon realm, Berry had never seen such beautiful scenery.
At that moment, the door of the space villa pushed open, and Laura and the others walked out. They had already heard Cai'er introduce the succubus clan. To be honest, although they felt a bit jealous, they were not heartless people who could watch someone die in front of them. Thus, they ultimately decided to accept Berry.
In fact, their reaction somewhat surprised Zhao Hai. Back on Earth, he had read many novels where women were always jealous. However, Laura and the others seemed genuinely unconcerned about jealousy, which puzzled Zhao Hai.
Later, he asked Laura and the others why they weren’t jealous, and they all looked at him with strange eyes, asking what there was to be jealous of. On the continent, any capable man had multiple wives, and compared to those men, Zhao Hai having only a few wives was considered rare.
