Chen Xi adjusted her lace gloves and unfurled three pairs of magnificent, graceful bat wings, their edges shimmering with a writhing purple luminescence. She wore a suit of form-fitting light armor that masterfully blended the allure of the Enchanting Demon clan with the dignified air of royalty, making her an arresting sight.
Strangely enough, behind her, several dark clouds gathered densely. At this moment, pairs of spying eyes closed, and countless chain-bound coffins sealed shut. The ancient aura gradually dissipated, returning to tranquility. Each coffin entombed a formidable expert who had died under the Succubus Princess’s punishments, subsequently refined into a Corpse Puppet. Over time, their numbers had accumulated to a terrifying legion. Even without the Royal Court’s Personal Guard, she alone was an army.
"Are all Alien Races this terrifying? Also a Dawn Star, she alone could take on a hundred of us, no exaggeration!"
"Damn it, the Princess had only just recovered, and they took advantage of her weakness! Too despicable!"
"Fortunately, the Princess managed to hold them off."
Within the ravaged Royal City, the followers loyal to the Moon Princess gazed upwards in a daze, an undeniable terror etched deep within their eyes. Meanwhile, a nameless desire began to sprout within them. There was no denying that this Enchanting Demon Queen possessed unparalleled, world-toppling beauty, captivating all who beheld her. She had a devilish figure that could make men yearn to offer their very lives in service. A single glance was enough to ignite a man’s carnal desires—truly befitting a member of the Enchanting Demon clan.
She had killed many upon arrival. But surely there must be some profound reason for her actions, right?
Chen Xi looked down upon the Moon Princess, paying no heed to the ants scurrying below. With a delicate wave of her slender hand, countless shadows swirled and enveloped them, creating an isolated space where only she and the Moon Princess could converse.
"I’m curious," Chen Xi began, cutting straight to the point, "during those five days, what transactions did you conclude with the King of Black Robes?" Besides venting her younger sister’s anger, she was also using this opportunity to pressure the Moon Princess. It was well-known that Chu Yi had been playing both sides at the banquet. She surmised that Chu Yi lacked Divinity, and Divinity was the nourishment he needed to grow stronger.
"What do you mean?" The Moon Princess’s delicate face creased into a frown. Her frail, youthful form seemed veiled in moonlight, like a thin mist, exuding a supremely sacred aura that protected her. "What do our transactions have to do with you?" Her voice, though soft and childlike, was like that of a fairy from a nocturnal valley.
The Moon Princess became even more dissatisfied. To think that fellow had actually said her voice was melodious, especially when she cried, claiming it was like applying an attack-speed buff!
"I am the King of Black Robes’ lifelong companion, his future wife," Chen Xi stated with complete composure, her rosy lips parting slightly, a captivating, enchantress-like smile playing on them. "How could I not wish to understand my husband’s affairs?"
Initially, she only saw Chu Yi as a fine collectible. But after getting to know him better, time and again, she grew more entranced. The fondness rooted in her very bloodline was impossible to hide.
"Wife?" The Moon Princess’s purple eyes widened in disbelief. "Impossible!"
If the Succubus Princess was the wife, then what did that make her, the fiancée?
In the Eternal Night Realm, monogamy was also practiced. The Moon Princess, having grown up immersed in this custom, naturally could not tolerate her man being stolen.
But then, a cold sneer touched her lips. This Succubus Princess is full of lies, deliberately trying to mislead me. How utterly detestable!
So, she composed herself. Her flawless face exuded an air of arrogance as she cast a dismissive glance at the Succubus Princess.
"After a profound exchange with the King of Black Robes, it was love at first sight. We settled a marriage contract early on. In the near future, with the Mother Goddess as our witness, we shall be wed."
Upon hearing this, Chen Xi’s wicked smile froze instantly.
To refuse her demands, she actually concocted such a lame excuse!
After all, Chu Yi had played both sides at the Pleasure Banquet and even extorted the Moon Princess; how could there be any affection between them?
Her thick eyelashes quivered slightly. The Succubus Princess, who had always been deeply possessive, stared at her rival and sneered, "If you won’t tell the truth, don’t try to deceive me with such fabrications. It’s too transparent. The Night Goddess would never permit you to marry a human... a taboo existence." Discover more novels at novèlfire.net
"Besides, I’ve known him longer than you. We’ve swayed on swings together, drunk milk tea together, strolled together after meals, and watched the sunset. When he was tired, he would occasionally rest his head in my lap, and we’d nestle close."
At Chen Xi’s words, the Moon Princess’s usually impassive purple eyes flashed with an extraordinary light, hints of joy flickering within them as an inexplicable feeling surged through her.
"That’s nothing!" she declared. "We fought side by side, braved life and death together, and thwarted the Desire Mother Goddess’s schemes! We share the bond of comrades-in-arms!
"That very night, unable to control my emotions, I personally attended to my beloved in his chambers, surrendering my precious chastity. We have the true bond of husband and wife!
"For the five days that followed, we were inseparable, day and night, lost in our affections, sharing tender intimacies, our love for each other boundless!"
As she spoke, she continued, almost as if reminiscing aloud, ignoring the Succubus Princess’s darkening expression, her tone carrying a hint of complaint, "Though he appears gentle, refined, and extraordinarily handsome, he’s actually quite rough, especially enjoying making this princess cry."
Chen Xi’s brow furrowed. Her unique senses told her something astonishing—Could it be that the Moon Princess wasn’t lying? She and Chu Yi... truly shared the intimacy of husband and wife, and had even been inseparable for five whole days?
The Succubus Princess, who always delighted in cuckolding others and seizing their playthings, who was profoundly possessive, now bit her rosy lip, a rare flicker of panic in her eyes.
