Gu Zhi and Gu Xiao laid on the bed together in their own sweat.
Although they were both cultivators, that did nothing to limit the pleasure they feel. Although physically they might not be exhausted mentally that was far from true.
Gu Xiao eventually got up and got dressed again.
"I'll go talk to the receptionist and see if I can contact the city officials".
She didn't wait for a response as she tidied up her appearance to make sure she didn't look like she just got railed and then headed for the main lobby of the hotel.
She found a women working the counter as she strolled up next to them.
"Hello, I'm looking to contact a city official as I believe I might have some business that could benefit love city".
The receptionist looked up in surprise to find it was a women who had asked that.
"Of... of course what business might this be" the receptionist asked.
"The repopulating kind, I am here on my husbands behalf."
The women stared in silence obviously not expecting this scenario before she quickly regained her cool.
"Of Course, Of course, let me contact a city official so I can get back to you promptly".
Gu Xiao certainly didn't like this whole debacle. But if her husbands words even had a shred of truth to them, then they were doomed if they didn't prepare.
Cultivators didn't care about truth they cared about strength. If a clan found out someone had killed their precious heir even if they were justified in the killing the clan wouldn't care. Only if the person backing the killer was greater in strength then them, would they back off. That was the true face of the cultivation world. Justice mattered little, when power was imbalanced. As those in power would rather commit grave deeds then admit they were wrong. With this reality it didn't matter what the circumstances was with Gu Xiao and Gu Zhi, unless they had ironclad evidence to prove and spread to the whole world they would be fighting against whatever force they offended.
Although this tactic and thinking had many flaws it also had many benefits. Even if people saw a villain commit a heinous crime in front of them, if his background was strong enough people would think twice before confronting them.
That's why this reputation was so beneficial for the strong to maintain, and even if they would be worse then before, they would commit to fighting a war with unjust means if it meant saving their reputation and thus their face.
This was all one way to say, that even if the witness to their massacre lied and had no background, didn't mean they were out of trouble. Even if there only evidence was a dream they still had to be cautious. Even if they had to do some unsavory things to avoid this catastrophe, they still had to do it. To Gu Xiao the unsavory things in this case was the willing repopulation of their city using her husband's seed.
Although she hated it, they still had to do it.
"Young lady, I contacted a city official she will be here in 10 minutes" the receptionist said.
"Good" Gu Xiao replied as she waited for her in the main lobby.
10 minutes passed as a women walked into the main lobby. She briefly talked to the receptionist before heading towards Gu Xiao.
"I heard you were offering the city of love some business in repopulation, is that correct?" the women asked in a questioning tone.
"That is correct" Gu Xiao stated.
"And this is on behalf of your husband is that right?"
"Yes, it is".
"Good then let's talk business, my name is Liu Yan, I am in charge of foreign affairs, which is mostly limited to the contestants. What would you like to receive for helping us in this endeavor".
Liu Yan knew if anyone was talking about helping them in this regard willingly they most certainly wanted something in return from the city.
"We would like disguises, treasures or tools to help change ones appearance - face and height, as well as talismans or tools that can block a small to moderate degree of divination. Depending on the specifics we may ask for less or more."
Liu Yan raised an internal eyebrow at the request, anyone asking for these things were surely 'on the run' so to speak. People who were running or hiding from someone they offended. Though this wasn't a problem for Liu Yan in-fact it was a great benefit seeing them come to her.
"We can certainly work on that. Let's talk details, we have some items that can certainly solve that problem how many girls is your husband willing to impregnant".
"As many as are needed for the items, what are they called, what are there uses, limits, and quality, what can you offer us that might tempt us into impregnating more women."
Liu Yan grew silent until she took out a jade slip and started contacting some people. After a while she asked "What are your husbands spiritual root qualities?".
"talent score of 68, element is blood, and a dual specialization in dual cultivation and meditation".
Gu Xiao and Liu Yan then talked a bit more about the topic giving Liu Yan all the details.
Liu Yan got up after a while and said "I'll have to discuss this with the other city managers, this is a serious endeavor that can't be taken lightly. I will give you our answer hopefully before the next trial starts, we can then discuss the details later".
Liu Yan then left the hotel in a hurry to start a meeting with the city officials. It seems like a big solution to one of the cities problems could be relieved.
