Demon Lord Shapeshifting System

Chapter 21 Wedding Rings



After locking his cold storage and taking care of his 'new specimen', Harker drove back home to make sure he's Dad's not in panic mode or his siblings were crying for not seeing him these couple of days. He really hoped not.

…. And they really were losing it.

"Dad, do we still have no news of Harker!?" Samuel's voice could be heard even when he was a hundred meters away from his house.

"I'm already calling the cops, Sammy! Keep a look-out for our other telephone, maybe he'll call there!" He heard his Dad shout back. "Those damn cops won't even respond and consider it a missing person case unless 72 hours had passed since I last reported. What bullshit! If it was some rich guy's son, they would have gotten their thick butts off their chairs searching the whole city for him!"

"Call down, Dad. You might get a heart attack again." Chloe reminded him. "Then the situation would get worse."

"LET'S KILL 'EM COPS!!!!!! KILL WHOEVER'S KEEPIN' MY BROTHER!!!!" Samson yelled, bursting out the door with a hammer on hand and guerilla face paint on. "AHHHHH—"

He stopped on his tracks when he saw the fancy limo park in front of them. His eyes almost popped out of its sockets when Harker stepped out.

"Aight, drop your weapon, Sam. I'm here now. You guys be wildin' without me." Harker chuckled.

"Harker!" Samson rushed towards him and gave his big brother a noogie. "Where'd you been??? I was boutta attack the cops for not findin' you and makin' Dad lose his mind!"

Harker lifted him up and gave him a piggyback ride. "I just had something to take care off far away from here for a while, sorry for not givin' you guys a head up."

Chloe was waiting at the door with her arms crossed. "You should have at least called. Or maybe find someone to send us a message. Postal service?"

Harker laughed and ruffled her hair. "Hah, I ain't gonna waste bucks to send you guys mail that's gonna take weeks or months to get here when I can come back in three days."

His Dad dropped the phone and wheeled himself towards him. "Harker! My son! Oh, what happened to you, I was so worried that I could cry—"

"Wahhhh! Harker!" Samuel jumped towards him too. Harker had to lift the other twin that clung to his neck like a koala, and now he had to carry both on his shoulders.

"Ah, you guys…. You really should chill out, you know?" He said. "But I get it, I get it. Won't happen again. I just got caught up in something. I promise that if I feel like I might have to be away for a long while, I'll give you a heads up."

His Dad inhaled and exhaled deeply. "That's good, that's good…. We're not the only ones who were worried, you know? Roland was also asking around. He said you borrowed his car."

"That's right." Harker sighed and put down his little brothers. "I'll have to return it to him. I'll be back after, I just dropped by here first to make sure you ain't doing anythin' crazy. And you were. Make sure Samson never gets his hands on a hammer again while yellin' to kill the cops, that'll get us in BIG trouble."

Samson scoffed. "It's coz they're takin' so long."

"Yeah, but that might end up with us having bullets on our roof and walls. Why didn't you stop him, Sammy? Chloe?" Harker asked.

Samuel wiped his glasses. "Er…. actually, I ordered him to be the decoy while we infiltrate the police station and bomb the place. Chloe planned it all out—"

"You should hurry up and go to Roland's, don't you think?" Chloe covered her brother's mouth. "It's getting late."

Harker sighed. Chloe and Samuel may look like they were the level-headed and smart members in the family, but they also have their wild side. Just like their calm and peaceful dad whose blood pressure easily rises up when he's getting emotional.

If ever people see them in this state, they'd think they have loose screws in their heads. And maybe they do, but that's just what makes them family.

He smiled as he drove the car to his best friend's place, whistling. Yan appeared by his side.

"How are you going to explain the missing clothes?" The eyeball asked.

"I'd say that I got it damaged from the training camp. I have a whole alibi prepared. I went over to Long Island to be a part-time camp counselor. I did that stuff before too, and was a Scout once."

"I see. And thus Harker Jones continues his normal life after a fight with a demoness."

"That almost got me used as a boy toy too. She probably sucks the energy of those boys every time she 'dual cultivates' with them, whatever the hell that means." Harker concluded.

"That's not too far off. Usually dual cultivation benefits both sides, as they share Yin and Yang energy through intercourse. But in Lady Aixiang's case, she's dual cultivating with non-cultivators who are virgins. It's because when someone loses their virginity, they release an explosive amount of qi. And by keeping them, she's ensuring that no one else taints their qi, and she can exhaust it all to herself."

"I see. Since I have the succubus ability, does that mean that I can also gain more of this 'qi' from 'dual cultivating' with people, not consuming them?"

Yan shrugged. "I guess so. Master Quan Zhi doesn't utilize that kind of cultivation even when he can. You also absorb DNA when you kiss someone and 'share body fluids' with them, right? So it is possible, Master Quan Zhi just looks down upon it."

"As he should."

"H-Huh???" Yan was surprised by this.

"I don't like that kind of cultivation either. Especially if that means I have to take multiple partners at once. My father once said that if she's gonna raise a son who's a cheater, he might as well kill himself. Mom said she'd kill me herself." Harker chuckled.

"Now, it's a different matter if everyone agrees to some kind of 'free-for-all' thing. But if I'm ever gonna use dual cultivation, it either has to be the only one or they're all aware of what I'm doing and agree to it. I'm also not gonna be screwin' people without their full, vocal permission just for cool stats. Getting seduced by my abilities also doesn't count, still won't do it."

Yan was astounded, but just nodded. "I knew I chose the right Master!"

Harker snorted. "Huh? I'm just bein' a decent human being."

He parked the car at Roland's house and rang the doorbell. Yan vanished quickly. The gates soon opened for Harker, and he drive the car inside...

When he heard several laughter from the direction of the Faust's outdoor pool. The laughter of several women.

"Hehe~ That tickles, babe!"

"Not fair, give me some attention too, honey!"

"Do you like my bikini? It looks tighter than before, didn't you notice? I just got some work done, hehe~"

Harker sighed. "Worried, my ass. He's here womanizin' as usual. That's the only thing I don't like about him, but I'll let it slide anyways."

As soon as Harker approached the pool, Roland's eyes lit up and waved at him. "You're back! Where have you been?"

"Long story. If you wanna talk about it, go put some clothes on."

Roland chuckled and got out of the pool, the girls still trying to cling to him. He waved at them. "Excuse us, ladies."

He took a towel at the side and dried himself.

"You're all in white today. Attended a wedding?" Roland joked.

"Nope." Harker chuckled. "That reminds me. Shouldn't you be more careful?"

He pointed something on Roland's fingers. It was a ring.

"After all, you're the one who's having a wedding soon."
