Chapter 147: I Confessed To Owen? by Harem-Fan
When the eyes of Thorin, Owen, and I passed over one another, many thoughts exploded among our former God Bro Club...
Seeing Bianca and Owen talking was only awkward in my mind, but it wasn't like Bianca was his wife or something, and only his long lost mother or Father?
However, seeing Thorin reminded me that I did have Owen's dead wife (Bing), and I guess mistress (Gu)?
But the real reason my heart skipped a beat was seeing Thorin, because that means the Macross has already landed?
They aren't due to land for another two days, so why is both Owen and Thorin here?
Bianca saw me coming, and she fully understood my feelings and why she didn't reveal herself to Owen, and for now won't do it.
"Husband, you are done with your Sect duties, haha?"
All the sect disciples in the area all did a cupped fist salute to me, and Bianca took my arm when I arrived along with Thorin.
I nodded to both men, then quickly asked.
"King Owen, why are you here and not with Lana? And Thorin, did the Macross arrive early?"
Owen looked a bit bothered, due to hearing a lot of things that had happened during the Dragons Graveyard, but Thorin said with a flat tone.
"Actually, after we left the site, Principle Angelica sent me and a Healer with Safe Haven Portal back to send intelligence, and I had a newborn child (from the beginning of the story) to see. They haven't arrived yet, but King Owen and I came here waiting to meet you."
Owen had an expression that showed he was an old man of 900+ years, as he nodded and asked me.
"Do you have a bit of time to talk with Thorin and I up at our peak, Loki?"
I nodded, and hoped I wasn't exposed wrongly by Thorin, and I said to my ladies.
"I will go and talk with them. Go back to Imperial Beast Vixen Peak when you are done looking around. I'll call Shehuang to pick me up after the three of us talk."
Bianca kissed my cheek goodbye and whispered that she said nothing, and I nodded...
-
Inside Owen's mountain top home called, Hall of Heroes...
Only the three of us sat with warding magic blocking observations.
Gondul is standing guard outside to halt anyone from entering till we are done talking.
I looked around this combination of a fantasy tavern and inn.
It is decorated with Norse like objects, with weapons and shields lining the walls and stone fireplace.
I think Owen saw my Demonic Witch's Cottage and thought old fashioned was cool, but if he knew it was an extra-dimensional mansion that was grand, he would probably burn down his inn or this tavern?
I was holding an apple mead tankard and took a sip of the cool mead, then I said to them both.
"The Emperor must be Greek, he knows to ascend to Mount Olympus... And Owen, do you know who Nyx is, I found her reincarnation."
Both men looked alert about the Emperor being one of us, at least his knowledge of Mount Olympus.
"Nyx? She is a Primordial Greek Goddess of the night, and even more powerful than the Olympians... Who is it?"
"Camila... We just found out."
Owen had an odd look on his face and then nodded.
"That actually fits her personality, a lot. Glad I never pissed her off then."
Thorin looks at me, waiting to see if I would bring up the topic about Xia Bing.
"You guys know about Hao Hun, right?"
Thorin nodded and Owen looked at what I was about to say.
"He is me."
Spew~! Thorin spit out his mead, all over Owen's side, but the latter didn't even notice as he asked.
"Didn't you Summon different monsters, like the actual Undead and a Dragon?"
"I have my trio-core, and a new second Death magic core... I can only use one core at a time, and I even had Summons tied to just that one. If I wanted, I could've become a Mage or Healer but at level one, sigh."
Thorin asked in confusion.
"So Diana and I fought you that day? And why and how are you working with the Corpse Refining Sect, and using their Corpse Refining coffin?"
I nodded, and told them to give me a minute...
-
To their surprise, my hair and eyes turned grey, then I used my Cloak of Disguise and looked like Hao Hun...
With my new voice, I spoke.
"The reason I am now Hao Hun, is to join and take out the Emperor's faction, and take down both the Corpse Refining Sect and Ice Palace from his control. I have stolen control of the Corpse Refining Coffin, and convinced their disciples I will be the next Holy Son."
I had to tell them about me "almost dying" in the coffin, but not about my Rebirth ability, as that is a trump card I had from all but my summons and a couple of wives.
Then I spooked both Owen and Thorin as I took on the form of Owen, and said.
"Once I remove this eyepatch seal, I will awaken the inner otaku!"
Thorin couldn't tell who the real Owen was, if he had not known and saw the change.
Owen growled.
"Bastard, you better not impersonate me, especially around my wives!"
Even Owen was spooked when he saw himself at 7th Circle, and had any of his Summons stood near me, even he would question his sanity.
I reverted back to my red hair and green eye mode, and stopped playing around.
"Camila was actually my Mummy Lord in disguise, as I summoned her. The Underworld Dragon Minglong was sealed in that secret realm and became my Summons and that is how she was freed... My last Summons is a Corpse Puppet."
I then went on to talk about meeting the two hidden Princesses, the Dracolich, the Dragon in the sky, what went on with Vali, Feng, and I, and what I will actually do as Hao Hun going forward.
When Owen brought up Feng, his quitting the Ice Palace, and Xia Bing, the conversation at the table got complicated.
Owen is sharp, and saw both Thorin and I look unsure, so he asked me.
"What is going on with Xia Bing and Feng... Is Xia Bing siding with the Emperor?"
I bit the bullet and asked him.
"The truth won't be good to hear, but it is really, really, and I mean really fucking complicated."
Owen looked at my serious eyes, and nodded.
"Your wife Xia Bing may have slept with me while I was unconscious on the airship!"
Owen and I both looked at Thorin, who was still on that old recording stone deal, even though that was a very outdated plot.
"Huh?!"
Owen could expect to hear that about me, after all my track record is kinda shit, but instead he was just confused about Thorin and Xia Bing.
I said to shut them both up.
"Queen Xia Bing died twenty years ago, killed by the Emperor."
Thorin froze, not sure what was going on, and wanted to know who fucked me in the recording?
Owen wanted to know what I was smoking, as she has been around twice a year for twenty years.
"I want to understand, and who has been with me all this time? A shapeshifting monster?"
"Xia Bing is the Emperor's daughter, and Xia Bing has a twin sister..."
Owen's eyes got gloomier and gloomier as he learned how the Emperor has really been screwing him all along.
I did my best to play down Xia Gu's malicious actions as she and the reanimated Xia Bing spent time with them for twenty years...
-
For Owen's part, he held it together well when I told him how Xia Bing had been tied to the Coffin, and I ended up Summoning her by default...
I know Owen knows I didn't do it on purpose, but it still stings and I hate telling him, but being honest is better than hiding it.
"I'm already divorced from two Queens... I am really just tired now. This mess with Xia Bing will really make things difficult for me now, sigh."
I suggest what I wanted to do before coming clean.
"Don't do it, as Xia Bing is one of us now, and cutting ties and exposing her to the world only hurts us. Just let Xia Bing continue to play her role. That is why she is still in Ice Phoenix Sect... Just treat her like an extra."
Thorin asked.
"What about that damn Gu Xia who made that recording?"
I looked awkward and said like the Evil Gu Master I actually am.
"I Gu'd Gu Xia, and now she has to listen to me, cough. I will use the Emperor's daughters to take him down as Hao Hun."
Owen asked me in a sad daze.
"What Queens of mine can I still trust and love? Be straight with me Loki, my heart can't take it."
"Gondul, Skogul, Koneko, Ariel, and Leandra, who loves you the most... I can vouch for all of them at least. I promise I have nothing to do with any of them!"
When Owen looked at Thorin, he said quickly.
"I only think Leandra is beautiful, but I have never done anything... It's Loki that is the adulterer scumbag, not me."
I want to cry, because Thorin is kinda right, sigh?!
Owen glared at me, and I slumped my shoulders.
"Loki, you really are a scumbag, and I want to hate you. But as much trouble as you are, you have at the very least been truthful, mostly. For the sake of rule one and six, I will ignore Xia Bing and her arrival next summer, just keep her away from me, and make sure I don't meet Gu Xia."
Owen really looks bad, and I offered.
"I once let Thorin hit me, because I deserved it... How about punching me or something? Maybe hitting me will release a tad bit of your anger with me?"
"Really?"
I sigh and nodded...
-
When the three of us walked out, Gondul did a double take...
I didn't have a black-eye, or even a busted lip.
No... I had a fucking slap mark, because Owen doesn't know how to fist fight, and he can only slap, hard.
I was pissed, because I expected a manly punch or something, not a bitch-slap?!
I asked Owen about his other condition he asked me to do, to make up for cheating with so many of his Queens, even unintentionally.
"Why do you want me to impersonate you at the Mermaid Kingdom? I don't get it? Plus, I don't think I should be around Ariel looking like you, right?"
Owen waved his hand and said.
"You've been marked by Pearl, so it is literally impossible to cheat with Ariel on me. No, the reason I want you to go for me is two things. First, I hate going, and second, I am forced to sleep with so many damn Nereids, Sirens, and Water Nymphs... I can't do it man!"
"I always feel like less of a man after I have sex with three women, and then like seventy all look at me like I have erectile dysfunction... It makes me want to cry, damn it."
Somehow, the slap on my face doesn't hurt so much, as Owen is seriously passing up an orgy as a fucking punishment onto me?!
"Loki, can I go with you to help?"
Thorin said that with a straight face, so I asked.
"Then you are going to take back all that shit you said to me in the secret realm, about finding your own adventures and not follow in my shadows?"
Thorin's pride clamped his mouth shut, and he wanted to slap himself for his words.
"Fine... I hope you drown to death under women. Goodbye you guys... I have to Dual Cultivate with a fellow disciple."
I said to Owen, who nodded.
"He's dumb, I would've sucked up my pride and just said sorry to get laid by so many ladies of the sea tribes."
Owen asked.
"Did the slap hurt?"
"It hurt my soul."
"Good, I need to go find Koneko to Mofu Mofu and clear my heart. Later."
I felt another imaginary slap as Owen walked away with a backhand wave?!
Fucking bastard...
