Battle Royale of the Sinners Chapter 149

Chapter 149 – Humble Jia Xu

From the strategic table to the audience stair seats, Tong could see what Jia Xu was trying to do . The current a.s.sembly meeting was an inconvenience for every official in the back rows as they could hardly listen to the voice of the speaker in the middle of the hall .

Secondly, the officials usually stood in straight lines, which the front rows blocked the view of the back row officials .

If a strategic table was placed in the middle of the hall, not many people would be able to see the content of the table, and they would not be able to voice their opinions on the stratagems .

Tong had this idea for a long time now, but he was too busy to the point that he forgot about it .

It took another hour for the map to be set up . On the table, there were mountains, rivers, cities, checkpoints, and gates, made of mud and wood, which were placed according to the real map .

Tong and everyone recognized them from the first glance . They were the map of the entire northern plains .

Ji Province, with all Commandery cities, consisted of Julu, Nanpi, Yie, Zhongshan, and Ganling .

Bing Province which was on the west of Ji Province, Shangdang Commandery City, and Jinyang Commandery City .

North of Ji Province, the You Province, All the Commandery cities were Beiping, Ji, and Xiangping .

And the east of Ji Province, Pingyuan and Beihei were part of Qing Province .

Jia Xu finished setting up all cities and left the site without saying anything . A few senior officials got angry from his manner, but Tong appeased them and vouched for Jia Xu that he was too busy at the moment . Sima Fang also used this chance to clear up the misunderstanding rumor about Jia Xu .

Listened to the two bigwigs giving Jia Xu some credits, the crowd backed down . They turned their attention to the gigantic map and observed the details in admiration .

Tong checked the surrounding details in his radar map and the strategic map on the table . He was also impressed by the accuracy of Jia Xu, 70% of the table map was the same with his map in the radius of 100km .

'Scary, too scary! How does he know everything? Even if he reads a lot of books and scrolls, he shouldn't have remembered every nook and cranny of the country, right?'

Gooseb.u.mps appeared on Tong's skins . He was glad that Jia Xu was part of his force right now . If he were to join Cao Cao or Dong Zhuo like his previous world, he would have been a dangerous opponent .

…

Jia Xu came back to his tent and continued his daily grumbling alone .

'I doubt all of those locations are accurate . '

'I don't have enough info to make a more detailed map . '

'If it were those in the imperial capital, they should have made a better version of that map . '

Tong was half right about his guess . Jia Xu did not know everything about the map, he only remembered the famous locations, landmarks, cities, counties, mountains, and rivers . He still lacked details about villages, roads, forests, hidden mountain tracks, cliffs, and caves on the map .

'Those small details can be filled up once I get the authority to command scout and spy units . '

'Right, there are a few spy organizations in this city . '

'Sima family has one, Zhang Jiao has one, and Lu Zhi …'

'Where the fudge Lu Zhi?'

'Doesn't matter, I'll ask Zhang Jiao for his spy info . '

As usual, Jia Xu did not stop writing or jotting down what he lacked or what he thought of . Behind his back, piles of scrolls, which Jia Xu had completed, were left there unsorted . They did not need sorting because Jia Xu intentionally put them there as he already remembered which scroll was for . Some of which was merely gibberish nonsense scrolls that he left it to fool a potential enemy spy .

'While I'm at it, I'll ask him for the advance salary . '

'I saw a few good robes in the market . I need to replace the current one I'm wearing . '

'And I want to taste those chicken BBQ again . '

'…'

'Fudge! Am I already integrated into the city!?'

'…'

'Screw it . I'll just relax and enjoy my job while it lasts . '

'Hopefully, I won't make it to his standard . '

'Everyone in the Capital said I suck at this . So their standard and their abilities should be higher than me, right?'

'I suck, right?'

'…'

'Screw it . Fudge it . I don't care . '

…

…

While Jia Xu was having fun with his job, Tong had a fair bit of trouble .

It was not troubling at work . It was a family-trouble at home .

"Use my b.u.t.t . "

"Use my mouth . "

At Tong's resident, the pregnant Hua s.h.i.+ and the small little girl Dong Bai competed with each other to service Tong every night since he had returned from Ganling City .

Although they castrated Tong that day, they also knew that Tong had regenerated "IT" back . Most importantly, Tong had been saving up for months because he tried to go against his [Demonic Curse]'s [l.u.s.t] skill .

"No . I won't sleep with any of you! Friday, you have to grow up first . Sunday, s.e.x can harm the baby . So no matter how many times I say is still a 'NO'!"

Tong refused to dual-cultivate with both of them as Hua s.h.i.+ was still pregnant and Dong Bai was too young for it . Yet, they did not give up their l.u.s.t .

'It's finally down to 0% . ' Tong sighed in relief .

'I wonder what will happen if it gets lower . '

While Tong was busy thinking about how to deal with his curse skills, the two perverted duos had not given up yet . Hua s.h.i.+ stripped her upper body, revealing her white a.s.sets . Her chest got bigger again because of her pregnancy .

"Here Tong, look! Aren't they your favorite size?"

Unintentionally, his eyes glanced at the round white mountains and his carnal instinct kicked in .

>

"DAMMIT!! Women, stop!!" Tong roared at Hua s.h.i.+ and Dong Bai in anger . He had enough .

Hua s.h.i.+ and Dong Bai came to a pause . Because Tong was kind to them, they went overboard and did not think of his feeling most of the times . This time, Tong snapped .

"Now listen! I'm trying to weaken my curse skills so they can't take over my body! Stop trying to seduce me or I'll turn into a monster, ok!? Until I have a solution to my problem, NO s.e.x!!"

>

Seeing that his [l.u.s.t] percentage was back at 0% again . His mood got better .

"I'll be sleeping in the guest house today . Don't disturb me . "

Both girls sulked . They looked at Tong with their puppy eyes to ask for his forgiveness, but Tong did not fall for it . He opened the door and was about to leave .

However, before his foot got across the doorway, a system message shocked him .

…

Tong checked his status in a hurry and found that his skills had been changed yet again .

His [l.u.s.t] from [Demonic Curse] disappeared, and his [Demonic Seal] level reduced to 9 .

On the other hand, his [Fledging Demonic Body] changed into [Lesser Demonic Body] and the pa.s.sive skill got enhanced as his damage reduction percentage increased from 10% to 20% . His attribute buff also increased from 5 times to 10 times .

Overcoming his l.u.s.t gave him a boon!

"So that's the hint by 'Increase my mental fort.i.tude'! All I have to do is to get over my 7 sins . "

Tong muttered to himself and laughed . He forgot that Hua s.h.i.+ and Dong Bai were still there, looking at him from behind .

"Has he gone bonkers?" Hua s.h.i.+ was baffled .

"He's … not very sane since his time in h.e.l.l . " Dong Bai replied .

Tong heard the voices of his two girls . He turned around to look at them, and a silly thought appeared in his mind .

'Since my [l.u.s.t] is gone . I can enjoy myself, right?'
