Chapter 225 – CEO Florida Man Rejected 2,000 Job Applicants Because He Was Too Busy Analyzing GTA6's Trailers and Leaked Gameplay.
"E-E-Excuse me?" Murong Qi was stunned. He thought that Leo was into women and pleasure. However, his words contradicted the rumor.
Leo snorted and stared at the young girls.
Everybody wore skimpy and revealing clothes, showing a lot of skin. They also put on thick perfume and makeup, which was not something that tamer girls in his domain would do.
Even if Leo's mind and IQ were below average, he was wise enough to differentiate between innocent maidens and prostitutes. Thus, he didn't trust these newcomers.
"If you're here as customers, I welcome you. But if you're here to ask for a job, get some proper clothes first. Also, those underage girls smell like puke. Tell them to take a bath at least once a day."
"…"
"Your servants also have a foul odor. I can smell their dried sperm from a mile away. When was the last time you people took a bath? A month ago?"
Murong Qi broke a sweat. He looked behind him and noticed the unique odor of his disciples.
As their sect was located in the northern region, the weather was usually cold and dry. Thus, the natives rarely took a bath to conserve water. Only stronger cultivators who cultivated water elements took a bath daily. As for the disciples and cultivators under the 3rd stage, it would be a miracle if they took a bath once a month.
In short, they smelled like a horse stable mixed with strong deodorant and perfume.
Murong Qi bitterly laughed. He waved his hand and activated his dao avatar. A water domain appeared and enveloped his followers. A few seconds later, he removed the water dome and all the water droplets in their clothes.
Just like that, Murong Qi partially cleaned his people. Still, the sensitive parts of their bodies were as dirty as before.
Leo observed their interaction. He had a new inspiration.
'I wish I had a public bathhouse like the one in Japanese anime. I guess I have to pray to the RNGesus god for gacha luck next time.'
Leo waved his hand and parted them with a warning.
"Take them home for now. Come back when your followers become adults. But if you wish to purchase something from my store, you should at least take a proper bath first."
"…"
Leo moved on to the next job, leaving Murong Qi and his followers confused.
.
.
After Leo had left, Murong Qi gritted his teeth. He was angry and humiliated that Leo didn't welcome him.
'If you weren't an immortal, I would have killed you on the spot! How dare you humiliate me?!'
In a bad mood, Murong Qi ordered his followers to return to their ship. Everybody was disappointed that they had to go home.
Along the way to their ship, they passed the Tang Manor. Tang Xuan stood there in front of his home, watching Murong Qi leave.
Tang Xuan snickered and mocked him. "I see that you've been kicked out. Sucks to be you, pervert."
"Tang Xuan! Has nobody taught you not to step on a fallen man?!"
"For someone like you, I don't need to treat you with courtesy."
"…I'll remember this humiliation, Tang Xuan."
"Yeah. Keep thinking of me when you return."
"…"
Murong Qi's face reddened in anger. He swore that he would get back to Tang Xuan one day in the future.
In the end, the people of the Joyous Yin-Yang Sect returned empty-handed. Because of Murong Qi's temper, none of their followers got to visit Leo's store or purchase his elixir.

RUMBLE
Meanwhile, ten light years away from Leo's planet, two artificial stars emerged from a white wormhole. Both stars gradually floated forward while the wormhole was closed.
Several kilometers above the artificial stars was the cubic warship of the elves. They descended and extended docking corridors toward the stars to connect a pathway.
CLICK
The square cube connected to the artificial stars. A few minutes later, passengers from the stars flew in the corridors toward the cubic ship.
.
At the meeting room of the cubic ship, the ship's captain, Ingof Jack, gazed at the two commanders of the reinforcement. Although Jack had a lower cultivation base, the two werewolves bowed their heads and showed respect to the captain.
"Overlord Milo, reporting for duty."
"Overlord Max, reporting for duty."
Both werewolf commanders were the overlords of their artificial stars. Moreover, they served the divine elves as soldiers.
Overlord Milo was a werewolf with messy black fur. As for Max, he had the face and skin of a grey pitbull, and he was more muscular than the former. Without hairy fur, he resembled a beastman instead of a Fenrir Werewolf.
Both overlords had the cultivation of the sage realm, which was a major realm higher than the deity realm. They also brought over a thousand deities and a million immortals.
Ingof Jack invited them to their seats.
The room featured a round table with a hologram screen at the center. Ingof Jack sat at the head of the table while the two overlords sat next to each other.
Jack operated the console in front of him, and the hologram image changed. It displayed the planet on which Leo resided.
"Gentlemen, I'll get to the point. As you've been briefed, our primary mission is to secure Princess Esen and kill her followers. Secondly, we need to investigate how Princess Esen removed the undead curse."
The hologram screen zoomed toward the planet. It highlighted the main continent.
As the hologram kept zooming in, it showed the Florida Domain. The flying island stood out as a mystic realm portal was active 24/7.
Jack continued.
"Unfortunately, the mission won't be easy. Our intel has discovered three guardians there. Our detector estimates that the guardian statues have the strength of a deity at the very least."
Max scoffed. "A deity isn't our opponent! We can just go there and stomp everybody!"
Jack shook his head. He showed other images, which his satellites managed to capture. The hologram showed the figure of the black-winged angel statue.
"Although the guardian statues have the same strength as a deity, this statue resembles someone from the Kishin Clan."
"Kishin Clan? The Oni Clan?"
Max and Milo shuddered at the name of the Kishin Clan. They weren't fond of those samurais.
Jack raised a remote and pointed at the wall on the opposite side of the two werewolves. Then, the wall showed a photo of a black-winged angel with the same face as the statue.
"T-That man?!" Max recognized him.
Jack gave them a piece of bad news.
"Gentleman. I don't know how that statue's face looks like Overlord Mao of the Devil Tribe, but you should be prepared for it. If possible, we will not directly assault that place. We are going to avoid the guardian statue so we won't accidentally provoke Overlord Mao of the Devil Tribe. Please don't forget that Overlord Mao and Overlord Kishin are sworn brothers. If one of them is provoked, the other will also move. Things will get complicated if they suddenly wage war against us."
"…"
"I'll explain our strategy for the mission."
Jack continued to explain his plan. As for the two werewolves, they grumbled as they hated to see the black-winged angel's statue there.
They wished that the statue never existed.
.
.
Meanwhile, Meowmeow, the black-winged angel statue gazed at the new stars. He raised his eyebrows and pursed his lips.
"Oh, boy. Two more stars appear. They're still out of range, though."
Mu-Nyang cackled. "Why don't we invite our master to go there, munya? As long as he's around, we can use our full strength, munya!"
"Not so fast. We probably won't need to move."
"Huh? Why, munya?"
Meowmeow's expression was solemn. He shifted his gaze toward another star, which strangely moved erratically. It traveled at the speed of a thousand light years per second, and it was heading toward their star system.
Looking at the approaching anomaly, Meowmeow warned his colleagues.
"Call Kitten over. We might need his help. I think that guy found us."
"That guy, munya? Wait… THAT GUY?!"
Mu-Nyang stopped smiling. He frowned and followed Meowmeow's gaze.
"I see, munya. It's that blasphemous crook that stole the prototype body, munya! That body was supposed to be our master's body, munya! We have to get it back!"
"Yeah…"
Meowmeow narrowed his eyes. He rubbed his katana, waiting to get his revenge.
"That body should have been passed down to our master. Because of that bastard, our master struggled for 50,000 years in an incomplete vessel and was forced to endlessly evolve! He also lost his opportunity to ascend! I swear with my name. I'll drag your soul out and crush you!"
