On my second playthrough, they were full of malice towards me.

"No way, with our relationship, why would you hide anything from me?" Liao Ji refused immediately. How could he dare to leave the nun and the dragon girl alone in a room?

Unfortunately, Styutia blinked and nodded, saying, "I think so too. Then why did Lord Ash and Sister Jiuyou keep it from Tia before?"

"Uh"

Liao Ji was speechless for a moment after being rebuked by the nun. Then, under Styutia's urging gaze, Liao Ji had no choice but to walk to the door. However, before stepping out, he said with great concern:

"Hey Tia, you can see Jiuyou is really weak right now. If you really want to vent your anger, then come at me!"

Styutia: "."

The nun sighed again and said, "Lord Ash, although I know you are worried about Sister Jiuyou, protecting one woman in front of another may only backfire, you know?"

"Don't worry, I asked you to leave temporarily because I really just wanted to have some late-night chats with Sister Jiuyou."

Upon hearing this, Liao Ji frowned even more and instinctively blurted out, "Girls talking at night? Aren't you all already hundreds of years old... uh..."

"Let's chat! We can chat all we want! You're girls, I understand! I'm going to go for a walk outside! You guys do as you please!"

Before things got out of control, Liao Ji quickly and proactively closed the door for St. Siuthia.

After chasing away Lord Ash, the nun looked at the dragon girl who was still "sleeping" on the bed, took off her holy boots, sat on the bed, and sighed helplessly, rubbing her forehead.

"Alright, Sister Jiuyou, stop pretending."

Having come this far, it seems Lord Ash's plan has failed. Jiuyou rose from the covers, looking at the nun sitting opposite her. The dragon girl gritted her teeth and said, "Come on, Tia, but... please, please don't... in this area diagonally opposite..."

"Sister Jiuyou, how could you even... What exactly is Tia in your hearts, a demon?" The nun had lost count of how many times she had sighed tonight.

Then, seemingly to appease the dragon girl who still felt like she had been "caught in the act," the nun took the initiative to sit next to Jiu You, imitating Liao Ji's previous actions of sitting side by side, and also took the dragon girl's hand.

"Don't worry, Sister Jiuyou, I've thought it through. We can't fight amongst ourselves, otherwise we'll really fall into Lena's trap."

"Lena. So it really was her who told you."

"Not only that, Sister Jiuyou, take a look at this first."

Afterwards, Styutia took out the crystal ball that had been sent from the Sealed City.

After showing the images inside to the Dragon Girl

"Lei! Na!" Jiu You gritted her teeth and muttered the succubus's name in a fit of shame and anger.

Soon after, when Jiu You realized that Styutia had already seen all of this, no wonder she knew so much, the dragon girl felt even more ashamed in front of the nun.

It can be said that the more thrill-seeking she was back then, the lower her head is now in front of Sthiuthia.

and this.

This is exactly the effect Sthimitia wanted!

Unseen by Jiu You, a triumphant smile curved the corners of the nun's lips.

After "confessing" in the confessional, Styutia calmed down considerably. She quickly realized that if she really attacked Jiuyou because of this, not only would the relationship she had worked so hard to repair with Jiuyou be wasted, but her image in Lord Ash's eyes would also plummet, and she might even anger Lord Ash.

And this is probably exactly what Lena wanted from the crystal ball! It's what that succubus wanted to see! In this way, not only will their unbreakable alliance become a joke, but Lena won't even have to get involved herself; she can sit back and watch the two fight, reaping the benefits.

Having figured all this out, the nun naturally wouldn't follow Lena's expectations anymore.

in contrast.

She also needed to use this opportunity to her advantage, leveraging her psychological superiority to completely pull Sister Jiuyou into her camp. No, as punishment, she also needed to mold Sister Jiuyou into a red dragon who would only obey her.

The shadow of her bangs covered half of the nun's face, her deep eyes glowed red, and a mad, obsessive smile spread wider and wider across Tia's lips.

As a woman by Ash's side, one must learn to adapt to the environment. It's obvious that the yandere type who only knows how to fight and kill is outdated; the new era belongs to those who play tactics.

There was no way around it; Lena posed too great a threat to her. The pink-haired succubus was clearly a level above hers. If she wanted to fight her, she couldn't fight alone; she had to sacrifice something to win.

"It's alright, Sister Jiuyou. Actually, Tia doesn't mind at all. When I'm with Lord Ash, we sometimes do some fun things, but I can always tell the difference afterwards, right?"

"Yes!" The Dragon Girl nodded vigorously.

"But Sister Jiuyou, Tia is still very scared. Because Sister Jiuyou is someone Tia trusts, but what about the others? What if they and Lord Ash are like Sister Jiuyou, using Tia for their amusement?"

"Tia is the weakest among them, so she can only be the smallest. Even if she's bullied, like now, being humiliated by Sister Lena with images, she can only swallow her anger and endure it, sob sob."

Seeing the nun in front of him with tears welling up in her eyes, looking so pitiful and weak, Jiu You's protective instincts were immediately aroused.

Coupled with her existing guilt towards Tia, Jiu You seemed to have regained the empress-like aura she once possessed in the Dragon Palace. With her majestic dragon horns held high, she straightened her chest and addressed the nun directly:

"With me here, I won't let you suffer any injustice, Tia!"

“No, Sister Jiuyou, you don’t understand. We humans value status very much. As long as Tia remains the youngest, no one will respect her.” The nun winked at Jiuyou opposite her.

Provoked by this, and truly caught up in the moment, the Dragon Girl blurted out, "Then from now on, Tia, you'll be the elder, and I'll be the younger!"

Chapter 165 Sister Jiuyou, you wouldn't want your future child to be...

"Huh!? Is it really possible?"

"Of course, let's see who dares to criticize Tia then!"

"Waaah, Sister Jiuyou, you're the best! Tia loves you the most!" The nun buried her face in Jiuyou's arms and rubbed against her.

Seeing that the nun was so happy just because of a title, Jiu You couldn't help but feel a little strange. As a demi-human, she didn't know much about this kind of thing. The dragon girl couldn't help but ask curiously:

"Tia, for us, does going big or small really make that much of a difference?"

"Of course, Sister Jiuyou!"

Tia immediately became serious and earnestly explained to the dragon girl, "Once you become a concubine, not only can you not walk in front of the elders, but you also have to wait for the elders to start eating first. Even when you are with Lord Ash, you have to prioritize the elders. In the end, you will only get a little soup. If some succubus becomes the elder, then you won't even get any soup!"

"And if there's not even soup, how can you have offspring with Lord Ash? You'll just have to watch as others give birth to one child after another for Lord Ash, gaining more and more of his favor, while you remain all alone, touching your flat belly and gazing at the cold moon at night."

Jiu You: "."

"Alright, even if you are lucky enough to conceive Lord Ash's child, the children's status after birth will be determined by the mother's status! As the younger one, your child will receive less attention and care from Lord Ash compared to the other children! They won't have enough to eat or wear, all because of you, their mother!"

Jiu You: "."

"What I just described is only a small part. For example, when future generations record our history, they will put the older names first, and you, as the younger ones, will only be at the end, and no one will remember you. For example..."

"No need to say anything more, Tia!" The dragon girl interrupted, unable to bear it any longer.

Having learned from Styutia how important "status" is, Jiuyou began to waver a little over Styutia's earlier statement, "You be the senior and I will be the junior."

But of course, it was too late to take it back at this point, which is why she stopped Tia. Otherwise, she was afraid that if Tia continued talking, she would really be unwilling to be a concubine anymore.

Tia smiled slightly. Jiuyou's nervous expression was exactly what she wanted. The nun then added slyly, "But don't worry, Jiuyou. Luckily, there are five of us. Even if I'm the eldest, Jiuyou can be the second eldest!"

“Second…” Dragon Girl hesitated for a moment.

The nun didn't give Jiu You any more time to think, and continued while the iron was hot:

"Sister Jiuyou already knows how important titles are, so for the future and for our family, why don't we join forces now and settle the rankings?"

"First, we two will take first and second place, third is zero, fourth goes to Anno, and last, the smallest fifth will go to Sister Lena!"

In Styutia's mind, when it comes to ranking the threats to her, the highest is definitely Lena, and the lowest is Jiuyou. Compared to Zero and Anno, a emotionless mechanical girl is definitely not as competitive as a motherly elf older sister.

"I think this is a bit..."

"Sister Jiuyou! We're not doing this to use our status to bully others. It's precisely to protect this family and prevent power from falling into the hands of other bad people. That's why we have to seize it first!"

"Okay, okay, I'll do whatever you say, Tia."

The fact that the girls had talked so much at night made Jiu You quite emotional.

"I never imagined, Tia, that you'd thought so far ahead, even about Lord Ash's child."

"So, how many children does Sister Jiuyou want to have for Lord Ash?" Tia asked innocently, tilting her head.

"I think we shouldn't have too many, ten will do."

Seeing the dragon girl's seemingly thoughtful answer, even Styutia's lips twitched slightly. Is this what a demi-human is like?

She quickly explained to Jiu You that it's very difficult for people of their level of strength to have children; they're lucky if they can even have one.

"So if there's only one, would you like a boy or a girl, Sister Jiuyou?"

"Let's have a boy." Although Jiu You is female, most demi-human races believe that male offspring are better.

However, the nun blinked again upon hearing this.

"I see. But it seems Lord Ash prefers women. I wonder if Lord Ash would..."

“Then, then let’s have a girl!” Upon hearing this, Jiu You immediately realized that it made sense and changed her mind. In her impression, Lord Ash was indeed more inclined to favor girls over boys.

The nun nodded in satisfaction, then pretended to hesitate and said, "Coco's family can't be without a boy, so I'll give birth to a boy for Lord Ash!"

"Tia, you"

Jiu You was immediately moved. Knowing that boys might not be well-liked by Lord Ash, the nun still wanted to have a son for the sake of the family. Her courage was truly admirable.

"It's alright, Sister Jiuyou. Since I'm the eldest, I have to take on this responsibility. But when my child is born, can you be his godmother, Sister Jiuyou?"

"Of course, I'll have to ask Tia to take care of my soon-to-be-born child as well."

"Hmm, leave it to me, I'll definitely give it to her. Huh? What!?"

Styutia realized something was wrong halfway through the conversation, her eyes widening instantly, and she looked like a cat with its fur standing on end.

"You wait here, Jiu You! What do you mean by 'a child about to be born'?! You're pregnant?!" The nun jumped out of bed, no longer even calling her "sister."

"Not yet, but I think it's almost there."

"What do you mean? What do you mean by 'almost'?! How many times have you done it with Lord Ashes?!"

Seeing the nun's hair standing on end, Jiu You opened her palm.

Five times?

The dragon girl shook her head.

“Fifty times!?” Styutia’s tone was starting to get dangerous.

Even the dragon girl on the other side shook her head.

This time, it was the nun's turn to ask about that outrageous number in a trembling voice, as if she were looking at a monster and was extremely incredulous and disbelieving.

"Five hundred times!?"

"What are you thinking, Tia? Even if I were a demi-human, I couldn't do that. I could only do it fifty-five times."
