Chapter 304: Chapter 274 Enchanting Demon’s Shame, Gentle and Considerate Nanaki
「The next day.」
Gentle sunlight scattered, and the semi-transparent Merfolk Skin veil fluttered. Fireflies swayed, bringing a gentle warmth.
At the door, two Enchanting Demons of unmatched beauty lay fainted on the wooden floor, leaning against each other. Their fair, tender faces showed a bright red blush. The two women’s breathing was heavy, their delicate mouths slightly open, and their trembling eyelashes told of unbearable nightmares.
PHEW~
A pure-looking girl in a nurse’s outfit woke up. It was as if she had been drowning in the deep sea and was suddenly pulled ashore, leaving her covered in slippery, fragrant sweat. Meanwhile, a seductive, mature woman with messy red hair spread all around her also woke up. Her lips were slightly pursed, her usually sharp eyes were filled with dazed confusion, and her heart was in turmoil. The two women looked at each other. A hint of panic flashed in their eyes, but in the next moment, they composed themselves and returned to normal.
Hela stood up. Her glossy black silk-wrapped thighs accentuated her proud figure. Pretending to be calm, she said, "As expected of the Young Master. Even in a woven dream, he can launch a counterattack."
Pure-blood Enchanting Demons born from the Mother Tree possessed many abilities, one of which included pulling people into dreams to absorb their essence. Moreover, everything that happened in a dream felt very real. After all, it was a domain in which Enchanting Demons excelled. In the dream, the two women had spent an improper night with Chu Yi.
Doli’s face was flushed, looking somewhat unnatural. Her delicate hand touched her flat belly. Not feeling the distended sensation of being full, she finally breathed a sigh of relief. Although it was her first time weaving a dream and she was somewhat unpracticed, she pursued realism, so the characters in the dream were replicated one-to-one.
That is to say... Chu Yi’s assets are truly substantial, leaving her well-fed.
Chu Yi felt a tickle at the tip of his nose.
His eyelids opened slightly, letting in a ray of light mixed with a familiar faint fragrance.
One has to admit, there really was a night raid by Enchanting Demons.
Having had a pleasant dream, Chu Yi felt completely relaxed. He had vented all his stress, and it was truly satisfying.
His only dissatisfaction was how inexperienced the two Enchanting Demons were. He had to teach them step by step—truly a disgrace to Enchanting Demons.
"Brother Chu Yi~ What wonderful dream did you have last night that made you so happy?"
A silvery, bell-like laugh came from beside his ear.
Chu Yi bit onto the teasing cattail. His dark eyes, flecked with golden spots, glanced towards the girl on the bedside who was disturbing his sweet dreams.
"Good morning, Brother Chu Yi."
The girl wore only a light mint green dress. Her black hair was like a waterfall, her young face shy, and she had a beautiful, charming smile.
"It’s so early in the morning. For what reason does Her Highness Nanaki seek me?"
Chu Yi spat out the cattail grass. He was still drowsy and savoring the joy of his ’spar’ with the Enchanting Demons. Being disturbed, he couldn’t help but feel some morning crankiness.
He had been busy in the kitchen for half a day for the Divine Hall’s operation. What was wrong with enjoying a little pleasure now and then?
"I brought you breakfast. Hurry and eat."
Nanaki didn’t answer directly. Instead, she touched the Amethyst Wrist Wheel on her fair wrist, and a table descended, carrying the fragrance of blooming flowers.
On the table was hot, steaming food—all of Chu Yi’s favorite breakfast items: soybean milk, buns, sticky rice balls, and more.
Without being polite, Chu Yi reached out to uncover a steamer. Through the rising steam, he saw that the dumpling skin was thin and fully stuffed, translucent. Biting open the thin outer skin and sipping the full broth, a sense of homely warmth welled up within him.
As for washing up, at his level of cultivation, his overwhelming Spiritual Energy would automatically maintain his cleanliness.
Facing an Enchanting Demon Princess who had personally brought him breakfast, Chu Yi’s morning crankiness dissipated instantly.
Of course, he also understood the goodwill shown by the Enchanting Demon Royal Court. At its root, it was because he was a genius worth recruiting, and they were interested in the secrets behind his rapid rise.
As Chu Yi ate breakfast, Nanaki, acting like an innocent girl-next-door, introduced him to the customs and culture of the Royal Court. The atmosphere was harmonious.
"By the way, I brought the Souls you wanted from the Royal Court’s treasury. There are one hundred thousand portions here; I’m not sure if it’s enough."
Nanaki took out a sachet tied with a red string.
With delicate fingers, she gently pulled the string. An aura of deep, dark, venomous malevolence spread out, forming a spiral of black wind several meters tall. Thousands of human faces eagerly emerged, their eyes fixated on the two of them, releasing an overwhelming hatred in unison.
However, Nanaki, with her pitiable and weak appearance, paid no heed to these Resentful Souls. They were merely Soul-type materials to her.
"It’s far from enough. This can only solve some immediate problems," Chu Yi said, even as his hand reached out through the air to grab the sachet. The human-skin material of the Ten Thousand Souls Banner subtly writhed as its devouring power erupted.
One hundred thousand powerful Resentful Souls, baring their fangs and claws as the black wind howled, all surged into the body of this audacious human who didn’t know his own limits.
Immediately after, a great terror that would make one’s expression change descended. Thousands of jumbled human faces, as if they had seen something indescribable, screamed in horror. Their screams then turned into a rustling whisper, like the sound of knives mincing fish flesh.
Chu Yi’s whole body flickered with radiant light, and arcs of electricity intertwined, concealing the strange phenomenon caused by the Ten Thousand Souls Banner.
What Chu Yi lacked most were Souls. Although Ten Thousand Souls Ridge had transplanted the Nether Secret Realm, the Souls available as fodder were far too few. They were essentially freshly killed and far from enough to satisfy the appetite of the Nether Secret Realm.
After all, this Netherworld was situated in the Land of the Dead, on the Nether River of the Realm of the Dead—the world where the deceased from all heavenly planes went after death.
To cultivate Tier 2, or even Tier 3, ’Beasts,’ the Soul requirement was astronomical.
Therefore, one of the rewards he had requested from the Royal Court was a huge quantity of Souls.
One hundred thousand portions are still too few, not nearly enough to cultivate a Hundred Beast Army at Ten Thousand Souls Ridge. I’ll have to squeeze more benefits out of the Royal Court.
Chu Yi pondered, projecting a sliver of his consciousness into Ten Thousand Souls Ridge to oversee the Netherworld.
Of course, his explanation to Nanaki was that repelling the Nus Wolf King previously had consumed a portion of the Mighty Power from his Sun God Authority. These Souls could restore that power, so naturally, the more, the better.
"Brother Chu Yi, if you want to harvest Souls, there are plenty at the Divine Hall. However, they’re all polluted, distorted Souls."
Nanaki lifted a bowl of sweet soybean milk. Her pink lips took a sip, and she too began to eat breakfast.
For her, this gesture was merely to draw closer to Chu Yi.
She was truly curious. This was the first time her sister had brought a member of the opposite sex back to entertain. Those who had come before were always found in the dungeon, the torture chamber, or on the operating table...
"Your Highness Nanaki, since I’m participating in the operation, could I trouble you to explain the specific details concerning the Divine Hall, so I can prepare?"
Chu Yi glanced at the girl’s lips, stained with soybean milk. Her small, pink tongue licked them lightly, like a lazy cat.
"Ah? Oh, I forgot to tell Brother Chu Yi last night."
Nanaki thought for a moment, then said, "Our target is the Saint of the Divine Hall of Joy, Wei Wuyang."
From the Princess’s gentle words, Chu Yi finally understood that Nanaki, as the Saintess, had betrayed the Joyful Sect, causing the Desire Mother Goddess to fly into a rage.
Of course, she had only been angry for a moment.
The Desire Mother Goddess dared not wage war against the pillar-level Goddess of Fertility. Furthermore, the Enchanting Demon Royal Court had deep foundations; it ranked among the foremost powers in the Abyss—a chaotic, lawless land where Evil Gods lurked and Demon Gods raged.
The Enchanting Demon Royal Court was merely her largest Vassal Clan; she also had thousands of other Vassal Clans, both large and small.
The Desire Mother Goddess cowered and gave up, but Nanaki didn’t want to.
The Saint and Saintess each wielded a portion of the Heritage of Desire, which involved fundamental power. The Royal Court’s aim was to devour the Desire Mother Goddess’s Godhood Ascension Sequence, severing her foundation and thereby consuming her step by step.
