Huh? What do you mean your mother is one of the seven deadly sins?!

Just as Lin Xia cleared her throat, preparing to say something more, the magnificent door of the palace was silently pushed open a crack.

Lilith's stunningly beautiful face peeked in, her fiery red curly hair cascading over her shoulders, her blood-diamond eyes gleaming with a keen sense of gossip.

"Ouch~"

Lilith's voice carried a sweet, teasing tone.

"Little Xia, you're making fast progress! You've already won over our little angel sister with a story so quickly?"

Lin Xia felt somewhat embarrassed after hearing Lilith's words.

After all, it's somewhat sinful to deceive innocent little angels into helping you cultivate.

When Lilith saw Lin Xia's embarrassed look, she blinked.

That's as if to say, "Sister will help you."

Sure enough, the next second, Lilith said directly to Lin Xia and Helena:

"Little Xia, recently some malevolent succubi have appeared in our Abyss, trying to abduct us succubi. As Her Majesty the Queen's child, you can't just stand by and do nothing, can you?"

Upon hearing Lilith's sarcastic remarks, Lin Xia was immediately filled with confusion.

However, Lin Xia quickly realized that this was intended to create friction between her and Helena during the battle, thus building their relationship.

Lin Xia agreed without hesitation.

"Of course I'll take care of it! Don't worry, Sister Lilith, I'm determined to handle this."

After saying this, Lin Xia and Lilith looked at Helena to observe her reaction.

However, Helena remained quietly in place, seemingly ignoring Lilith's words.

Lilith's eyes flickered, and she added, seemingly unintentionally:

"Dealing with those lust demons is a bit tricky, little Xia, you must be careful. What if you get injured..."

Lilith drew out her words, making a pointed remark.

"Recovering from an injury takes a lot of time, and telling stories... well, that'll probably have to be postponed."

These words were like a tiny feather, gently tickling Helena's heart.

She suddenly turned her head, her pure blue eyes looking at Lilith with a hint of barely perceptible inquiry.

Her gaze lingered on Lilith for a moment, with the keen perception unique to angels, then she tilted her head slightly, looking a little confused.

"You don't have that repulsive aura about you."

Helena paused, as if she had made up her mind, her voice soft yet clear.

"Is there anything I can do to help?"

As soon as she said it, she seemed to realize it was inappropriate. She quickly glanced at Lin Xia, as if afraid he would misunderstand, and immediately straightened her face and added seriously.

"I just... simply don't want to see demons doing bad things! That's all."

"I'm not here to hear stories!"

Lin Xia and Lilith exchanged a quick glance, almost bursting into laughter.

This little angel is so easy to understand!

"As expected of an angel, your character is truly noble!"

Lilith immediately offered just the right amount of flattery, her tone so sincere it seemed to come from the bottom of her heart.

Lin Xia quickly nodded in agreement.

"Yes, that sense of justice is admirable!"

Helena's lips twitched almost imperceptibly upwards, as if she were quite pleased with this recognition, and her small wings fluttered slightly.

"but!"

Helena looked at Lin Xia, her sapphire-like eyes clear and bright.

"I can't use my powers right now. You have to untie this so I can help Lin Xia."

Lin Xia looked at Lilith, her eyes asking a question.

Lilith smiled sweetly, and a familiar crimson magical aura swirled around her fingertips.

"No problem, no problem! It's no trouble at all."

Lilith waved her hand gently, and the crimson light coiled around Helena like a serpent, instantly disappearing into her body.

A very faint popping sound seemed to echo in the air, and some invisible shackles shattered in response.

Helena's body trembled slightly, and a pure, gentle, yet powerfully resilient aura of holiness instantly emanated from her.

The wings on its back seemed to unfold as well, radiating a more lustrous sheen.

"Alright, the seal is broken!"

Lilith clapped her hands, a sly glint in her blood-red eyes.

"Now, your strength has returned."

Feeling the renewed power within her, Helena clenched her fist. Her face remained expressionless, but her eyes brightened, as if she were satisfied with the return of her strength.

Lin Xia immediately asked:

"Sister Lilith, when are we going to make our move?"

"Now!"

Lilith answered crisply and decisively, her bat wings unfurling behind her with a whoosh, the wings covered in fine scales creating a warm breeze.

"Those guys have been hanging around Lava Canyon lately, let's take them all out at once! Follow me!"

She was the first to walk towards the palace gate.

Lin Xia took a deep breath and looked at Helena.

"Shall we leave?"

Helena nodded, her bare feet lightly stepping on the smooth black crystal floor as she followed, her tiny wings slightly folded.

The three of them quickly passed through the brightly lit corridors and hurried towards the outer perimeter of the castle.

Lilith spread her bat wings and carried the two of them at a low altitude at an extremely fast speed.

Below lies a deep abyss filled with flowing dark red lava, and scorching waves of heat rush towards you.

Soon, they arrived at a canyon area with broken terrain and huge obsidian pillars. The smell of sulfur in the air was stronger, and there was also a faint, cloyingly sweet and restless scent—the mark of lust.

"It's just ahead!"

Lilith lowered her voice, her blood-red eyes sharply scanning the shadowy, jagged stone forest ahead.

Lin Xia's ability to sense desires was instantly triggered, and she clearly saw several twisted, greedy energy sources filled with predatory desires lurking there.

Sure enough, three figures emerged from behind the stone pillar.

They were more robust than succubi, with sickly purplish-red skin, curved horns on their heads, and fleshy wings like tattered leather on their backs. Their eyes were murky, and they stared at Lilith without any attempt to hide their naked possessiveness.

"Hey! Look who's here?"

The leader of the lust demons had a hoarse and unpleasant voice, and he greedily licked his lips.

"Isn't this Lady Lilith? Alone? Perfect, how about we brothers have some fun?"

The alluring smile on Lilith's face vanished instantly, replaced by a chilling killing intent.

"You lowlifes? You dare to covet the Succubus Royal Court?"

A cold glint flashed in her blood-red eyes.

"Hmph! You won't listen to reason, so you'll have to suffer the consequences!"

Another lust demon grinned and pounced, its claws, carrying a foul stench, aimed straight for Lilith's heart!

Lilith flapped her bat wings and nimbly dodged to the side, her little tail with a heart-shaped pattern lashing out like a steel whip.

With a sharp crack, the blow struck the lust demon's arm, leaving a charred mark.

The lust demon roared in pain, and its movements froze.

Just then, a pure white light suddenly shone!

Helena made her move.

She made no extra movements, simply raising her slender arm and pointing at the succubus.

A pillar of holy light, condensed to a tangible form, erupted instantly, striking the succubus with pinpoint accuracy, like a spear of judgment!

"ah--!"

A piercing scream rang out.

Holy light has a natural advantage against abyssal creatures. The lust demon was struck by the pillar of light, its body emitting billowing black smoke as if corroded by strong acid. It screamed and flew backward, crashing heavily into the stone pillar, its life force instantly weakening.

"Angel?!"
