What do you mean my cute disciples are Yanderes?

(MC POV)

Of course, I went ahead to restore everything back to normal.

I did not reverse time since I don't want the people who were eradicated on this mountain to forget themselves being erased leaving this guy to be the only one that knew what happened.

It'll be a pain if he thinks it was all an illusion or even having to do all that again because the other people on this mountain don't remember being burned alive.

I placed us back in the patriarch's courtyard where the mother and daughter pair were caressing their own necks slowly, most likely wondering if they imagined the feeling of being decapitated.

Sorry girls, but you really did experience death just now… At least it was swift unlike the others.

The patriarch ran up to them immediately, hugging them tightly to his chest and asking them to forgive his stupidity. Guess he's actually a family man deep inside?

While he's busy apologising to those two for being an absolute idiot, I went to Iris who was looking at the sight with a self-satisfied smile.

"So… I think this might be the first time I've seen you get angry."

Iris giggled, "Ara, ara? What do you mean, Master? I wasn't angry at all~ I was just a little annoyed, that's all~ If I was angry, I don't think I could hold back on destroying this entire World~"

Well, then I suppose it's a good thing you weren't actually angry then… Here's a headpat for you.

"Ara, ara? Master really spoils me too much~"

Mmhmm~ Happy Iris looks really cute so I can't help but spoil you a little~

Right then, the patriarch came up to me once again, except this time his head was lowered to show his deference to me.

"Divine One… May this lowly one ask what is expected of him?"

Wow, he really adapted to his new role pretty quickly… I guess this must be how he had to act to his seniors back when he was younger so he already knows what to do? I can see them demanding this kind of treatment from the people below them too.

I gave him a wry smile, "I don't really expect anything from you, really. We just received a call for help from the gods of this World and we're currently looking around to see what's going on. Your daughter was supposed to be introducing us to the places around here but we just decided to make a stop at her place. I presume you are already aware of what is going on in your own house?"

I could see his face getting paler when he heard what I said, precisely because he knows that right now I had no reason to favour them over the gods.

Still, he managed to swallow his fear and nodded, "Y… Yes… My wife has told me how my brother has used my daughter's circumstances to usurp my position… I would like to express my utmost gratitude for Divine One's help in waking me…"

"Well then, I'd like you to know that I didn't wake you up for your sake, it was just to shut your wife up so do whatever you want I guess?"

He blinked at me, as though not expecting that answer from me before he turned to look at his daughter.

She nodded to confirm what I said was true.

"I… I see… Umm… The… The day is ending soon so could we… Could we have the honour of hosting you in our humble estate for the night?"

Well, that was certainly a lie especially considering the fact it's barely late afternoon. But oh well, the Qilin doesn't seem like it was in a hurry to leave and Akari started nuzzling my cheek again, meaning she might be close to going back into heat once more.

I guess I can just take him up on his offer then.

He actually let out a sigh of relief when I accepted his suggestion before tensing up again.

The man went down on his knees with his head pressed against the ground, which again was a pretty big deal since these people consider the ground to be something they would not touch at all cost.

"Divine One, this may be presumptuous of me… But right now a family meeting must have been called by my brother in regards to the earlier event… If Divine One could accompany me to the meeting where I can take back my position, I would be able to better accommodate Divine One's stay here."

"Papa, weird man?" Cai Hong asked from above me shoulders, the loli dragon having just finished the cookie I had made to distract her.

Iris spoke up beside me, "Ufufufu~ Isn't this thing daring? To even think about using us to turn his disadvantageous position around with such flowery words~"

The man visibly shook in fear since Iris didn't bother lowering her voice.

I shrugged, "It's fine. I don't feel like going through all that again to convince his brother about this thing here either so it works to our advantage too. Let's just go and show our faces and we'll call it a day."

The patriarch pressed his head even harder against the ground, "I sincerely thank Divine One for your magnanimity!"

His boot licking skills really are top class huh.

With our goal decided, he showed us the way to where the family meeting was being held, which apparently was at the very top of the mountain.

There was no path up there so we would need to fly there, which made the Qilin position itself in front of me just so I could ride it up there. I swear there were sparkles all around its face while it looked at me in anticipation. Does it like me riding its back that much?

Since I knew the Qilin would start a tantrum if I didn't do it, I simply climbed on its back before it carried us up towards the sky with the Patriarch leading the way. Long Er and her mother also followed along behind us as well, maintaining a set distance from us.

When we got to the summit of the mountain, we found ourselves on a small plateau where a pavilion had been built with a large stone table set in its centre, the chairs around it currently occupied by various people in white robes. There was even a pond and a tree growing beside it too, adding to the very picturesque view.

Maybe I should make something like this back at Heaven Sect as well? It certainly does look nice.

A man with a similar face structure as the patriarch quickly stood up from the table and pointed a finger at me while ignoring everyone else, "What is this thing doing here?! How dare you?!"

Wow, talk about deja vu… Guess he must be the brother then…
