Chapter 395 – Cat Dad Gets Married?
Because of the urgency, Xiaomao spent the rest of the dungeon''s DP creating a massive forest for the beast folks. Then, he assigned the B13 and B14 for the beasts, pushing the mannequin factory to the B15 floor.
B13 would be the temte metropolitan city. As for the B14, Xiaomao manually created a forest floor by exchanging the dungeon''s mana. He also expanded the size to the limit.
After Xiaomao was done, he showed the map to Hopea to check the new home.
"It''s done, munya. There should be plenty of rooms for the beasts and ents."
"What about the water source," Hopea was curious.
"It''s already done, munya. I move some water from the B5 floor to B13 and B14. Also, I don''t know if you heard about it, but this dungeon''s wateres from a chalice artifact, munya."
"Is the chalice something from Siren City?"
"H-How did you know, munya?!"
Hopea giggled. She didn''t tell Xiaomao that the sacred water originated from a dryad, which Cernun had created in his previous life.
"Ah, it has been a long time. I guess this is fate. Oh, I almost forgot." Hopea gave Xiaomao a meaningful look, but she refused to show Xiaomao the seed of karma. She hadn''t fully trusted him yet.
"By chance, do you have an extra Heavenly Fate Crystal? I noticed that you killed one of the protagonists. You should have his soul and his fate crystal, right?"
Xiaomao narrowed his eyes. He was concerned, "Yes. What about them, munya?"
"Offer the soul and the fate crystal to Mu-Nyang. Do not use them or consume them."
"Are they dangerous, munya?"
"Yes. If you use them, Mu-Nyang will be weakened. If he gets too weak, the universe will crumble, and we all are gonna die."
"…"
RUMBLE
CRACK!
A few seconds after Hopea had finished her sentences, cracks appeared in space and rapidly spread throughout the dungeon walls and ceiling. The entire dungeon trembled as if a massive earthquake hit them. A few secondster, the dungeon system OS gave them a warning message.
<WARNING! Mu-Nyang''s dantian universe is critically damaged. The ve Dungeon will iste itself from Mu-Nyang''s karma, and it will be tied to the backup entity – Mao Miaomiao. All personnel, evacuate to the dungeon immediately!>
<The emergency karma shifting will be activated in one minute!>
"!!!"
Hopea widened her eyes in shock while Xiaomao and Undine were confused about how the dungeon was rted to Mu-Nyang''s dantian universe.
Flustered, Hopea urged Xiaomao, "Hurry! Offer the protagonist''s soul and the fate crystal to Mu-Nyang! The universe is going to shatter!"
"W-What happened, munya?!"
"Mu-Nyang is severely injured! I don''t know how, but he needs that soul and the fate crystal to restore his universe''s bnce! HURRY!"
"…"
Xiaomao hesitated for a moment. However, he remembered that his Senpais advised him to do so. He decided to trust them and Hopea.
Xiaomao ejected the two items from his inventory.
"I, Miao Xiaomao, hereby offer the soul of protagonist Lu Bu and his Heavenly Fate Crystal to Lord Mu-Nyang as a tribute. I pray to you. Please be healthy and strong for the sake of this universe… so that we can be reunited."
Xiaomao added thest part as it was his true wish.
The two orbs vanished from Xiaomao''s hands. Instantly, the trembling and the expanding cracks ceased. The dungeon slowly mended the cracks, and the situation was under control.
DING
<Mu-Nyang''s dantian universe has been stabilized. The emergency istion protocol has been canceled.>
The dungeon also reported that no one was in danger anymore.
Hopea sweated profusely. She closed her eyes and remained silent, observing the game worlds and on Earth. She tracked Mao Miaomiao and Mu-Nyang''s karma, investigating the situation.
She slowly opened her eyes. She found the cause of this mess.
"Haiz. I guess I can''tze around here. I''ll be heading out to Divine Theocracy Earth and regrouping with your father."
Xiaomao was curious, "What happened, munya? What''s wrong with Mu-Nyang and my father?"
"Pangu is dead, but Solomon cripples Mu-Nyang. Your father is calling everybody to prepare for a crusade against Solomon Army."
"A crusade?" Xiaomao was interested. He wondered what kind of war his mysterious father got involved in.
Hopea wryly smiled. She gazed at Xiaomao in pity, "I''m sorry. You aren''t ready for this fight yet. You''re too weak to participate in this war."
"Hah?" Xiaomao was offended, "But I''m a protagonist, munya. I can kill other protagonists and antagonists that NPCs can''t kill, munya!"
"I know, but our enemies are deities. The deity battlefield is not a yground that a fledging protagonist like you. You should stay in the game world and train some more."
"…"
Xiaomao hated the cliché idea. He wanted to refute, but Hopea reminded him of one fact.
"You might be able to fare well, but yourpanions won''t. They will die if they join the fight. If you can leave everybody here behind and join our battlefield alone, I''ll take you to your father."
Xiaomao was taken aback. He raised his eyebrows as it was against his intention. However, his Senpais had another idea.
[Cathulhu Instinct]: "Don''t be an idiot like your father and go on an adventure alone. A true chad brings their friends along. The power of friendship will be your trump card! Stay here. Train your friends, train yourself, and TRAIN *wink* *wink* YOUR WIVES."
[Foresight]: "If you join the war right now without your friends, you''ll die 100%. Stay here and protect yourrades. When your little army is ready, you can y a major role in the uing war."
"…"
Xiaomao''s eyes were bloodshot. He was unwilling, but he was afraid of the consequences of his illogical decisions.
"Okay. I''ll stay here and protect the dungeon, for now, munya."
"Good boy."
Hopea leaned closer and kissed his cheek. She rubbed his crotch, "I''ll ask Miaomiao for approval, okay? When we''re back together, maybe we can have three-some - Me, your father, and you."
Oh, hell no.
That was what Xiaomao thought. His expression was distorted in disgust.
Hopea noticed Xiaomao''s funny expression andughed at him, "Now, I know why you have the white wings. You''re like an angel, but Miaomiao is the devil. Whoops, no puns intended."
The dryad rubbed Xiaomao''s head. She secretly brought out the karma seed and enveloped it with a shell of a tree seed. Then, she gave it to him.
"Store this thing in your dantian universe. nt it and water it with your blood every day. When I say EVERY DAY, I mean, EVERY DAY in your dantian universe. Never forget it."
"What''s this, munya?" Xiaomao inspected the seed.

.
Again, Xiaomao doubted Hopea. He looked up and was about to ask her. However, she already created a dimension portal and left the dungeon.
As Hopea was leaving, she parted him with a voice transmission.
''Remember. Water it E.V.E.R.Y.D.A.Y.!''
"…"
Xiaomao had a thousand questions to ask Hopea. Unfortunately, she cut off themunication.
Undine also panicked, "Senior, you haven''t resurrected our fighters yet!"
It was toote. Undine already left.
Undine sulked. She stomped the ground, and her eyes were moist, "How could she forget that!? She promised… Ugh."
Xiaomao gazed at Undine and sighed. He hugged her, "It''s okay. If she promises, she might know a way to bring them back. Let''s wait here and train until we drop, okay?"
"… Okay."
Undine buried her head in Xiaomao''s chest. Thetter also covered her with his white wings.
The white butterflies came out from the feathers. One of them created a white lily flower with their Qi and put it in Undine''s hair.
Undine noticed the flower. She touched it and looked around her. Then, she found a thousand catterflies, who ceaselessly sang a cat song for her.
"Munya-Munya!"
"Munya!"
"Munya-Munya, munya!"
Undine stopped crying. She snickered, "How stupid. What are you guys?"
Xiaomaoughed, "My followers."
"Your followers?"
"An immortal with a solid foundation can convert their pocket dantian into a dantian universe. Normally, we use the stars to generate essence and Qi to use. But if we pursue a higher path, we need to create little creatures like these and raise them in our dantian universes."
"Oh, I didn''t know that. But wait a minute. How do you create lives in the dantian universe?"
Xiaomao faintly smiled. He stroke her hair and admired her pretty face, "It''s my family''s secret. If you want to know, you must be a part of my family first."
Xiaomao suddenly knelt. From his pocket, he brought out a spatial ring, which he had already cleansed. Inside the ring were artifacts, Poseidon''s trident, and evolution materials for a mermaid that he had obtained from Undine''s clone after he had defeated her 1000 times (in bed).
Like a gentleman, Xiaomao put the ring on Undine''s left ring finger. He looked at her face.
"So, will you marry me?"
Undine''s face reddened. She wanted tough at him, but she had long dreamed of today. She didn''t even bother checking the content in the spatial ring.
"Yes… Yes!" Undine knelt and hugged Xiaomao. She cried again. Because of the momentum and emotions, they kissed.
Xiaomao shut the lights in the treasure room. He secretly created a bed under them by using the dungeon''s mana. Then, his butterflies decorated the ceiling with small glowing dots, turning the unimpressive roof into a starry sky.
The glowing butterflies then created an illusion of a king-sized bed on a vast flower field. They also threw flower petals at them.
Xiaomao and Undine giggled. They slowly took off their clothes as they celebrated their honeymoon.
Little did they know that Mimir, Ifrit, Nymph, and others were chewing popcorn, looking at the TV monitor outside the treasure room.
.
Nymphined, "Next time, Undine. Next time. I''ll let you off the hook for once."
Lucky also pouted, "Master never did that to me. This is unfair!"
