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

"What?! Fired? What do you mean, you old fogey? You...you don't mean you're thinking of excluding me, do you?!"

The girl panicked.

"We signed a contract! Didn't you even stuff all those... your belongings into my hands? And say I have to pay you back for the rest of my life? You... you can't go back on your word!"

"Besides, can you manage without me?!"

"This seems to be an overactive sense of self; I suggest you see a doctor immediately," Number 86 said, feigning concern.

"I'll tear this piece of junk apart one day!" Irene stomped her feet in anger.

"Alright, as long as you don't mind, here you go."

Liao Ji handed the stone pendant in his hand to Yilin.

"You don't mean you want me to use this old relic, do you?" the girl asked tentatively.

"That's not it."

"Why, why me, for something so important?"

“Because… well, I think you’re the luckiest of the three of us.” Liao Ji looked at the girl with sincere and trusting eyes.

Encouraged and praised by Liao Ji, Yilin perked up immediately. 86 was right, what young girls have in abundance is self-awareness.

"Hmph, then leave it to me. Let's get off to a flying start!"

"Remember to think more about the Dragon Kingdom, think more about the atrocities committed by those Dragon Kingdom soldiers! Think more about the expectations that Klaus and Ah Xu have for us!" Liao Ji reminded him from the side.

"it is good!"

The imposing young woman rolled up her sleeves, and Irene mobilized the power of turbidity. The fully charged Hearthstone Tear began to shine with a dazzling blue light in the young woman's hand, and a teleportation force could be felt enveloping the three of them.

Liao Ji is making a huge gamble.

They'll either end up in the succubus's dormitory or within the Dragon Kingdom's borders. And because it's random, even they don't know where they're going, let alone whether Lena can find him again—at least not in the short term.

Liao Ji didn't like the feeling of being schemed against and secretly watched by others, not even by his wife.

He was going to jump out.

Success or failure hinges on this!

hum!

Finally, the blue halo of the stone pendant completely enveloped the three of them, and in the next instant, the three figures completely disappeared from Klaus and Ashu's sight, having been teleported away.

"."

"Is Mr. Liao Ji really alright?" Catwoman A-Xu asked softly in the large tent, now that only the two of them were left.

"I don't know, but I believe that someone who is favored by both the Goddess and the City Lord is definitely beyond our imagination. Besides, Lord Liao Ji may not be a kind person, but he must be a good person. I can feel it!"

"So don't worry, Lord Liao Ji will definitely stand by your sister's side and will join forces with her to overthrow that tyrannical empress! Beastmen are by no means evil, nor should they ever be slaves to humans. Your sister's goal is right, and it is also the will of the people of the Dragon Kingdom!"

"I received intelligence from the city lord. The Dragon Kingdom has declared war, causing chaos within the country and widespread discontent. This has brought the pent-up resentment of the people, which has been building up for a century, to the brink of complete explosion. In addition, many Dragon Gate soldiers have been transferred away, greatly weakening the internal defenses. Now is the perfect time for a rebellion! Your sister and the others are already making preparations in secret, and I expect they will be making a big move soon!"

"Ok!"

Having completed his mission, Klaus took out a black and gold rose envelope from his pocket. He didn't need to write anything; as soon as he opened the envelope, a soul-pulling force came from within. Klaus and Ashu both closed their eyes tightly, not resisting the force. Next, they saw crystalline threads floating from their faces—copyings of their memories of this "operation." These threads were absorbed by the black and gold envelope, and when it was finished, the envelope automatically burned, finally turning to ashes and disappearing into the air.

"Alright, the message has been conveyed to the city lord. Now, what's next?"

Klaus led Axu out of the main tent.

He took out another item from his pocket that the city lord had given him; it was a small, sachet-like incense burner.

[The Alluring Fragrance]

It was through this cursed item that they managed to put the entire Dragon Kingdom's vanguard into a state of "releasing desires," thus helping Liao Ji and the other two to better obtain the "relic" for teleportation.

Now, Klaus has fully unleashed the power of [Enchanting Scent], which is specially formulated and only effective on humans. Orcs are immune to the effects of desire, except for Klaus, who took the antidote beforehand.

One after another, the soldiers of the Dragon Kingdom fell to the ground unconscious, while the orc slaves forced to stand guard outside were all bewildered by the sight. They wanted to do something, but they were also afraid, after all, this kind of servility had been deeply ingrained in them.

Until Klaus and Catwoman, carrying the head of Gu Qing, the general, came before them.

"Ah Xu, go and liberate your kind! Tell them that from this moment on, they will be accepted by the Holy Kingdom and protected by our Goddess! They will no longer be slaves! They are free!"

Chapter 75 Lena: Let's set a small goal first.

Magic City.

Demon King Tower.

The city lord's bedroom.

In the recent 261st "Shanghai Public Opinion" poll held by the city council, this place, with a 97% vote share, overwhelmingly became the number one choice for Shanghai residents in the "Place I Most Want to Go" category for the 262nd consecutive time.

Unfortunately

In fact, to this day, no outsiders have been allowed to set foot here.

It should also be said that it was fortunate that those fanatical fans of the city lord outside were unable to enter, otherwise, they would probably have been heartbroken just by opening the door, without even stepping into the dormitory.

because

In this bedroom, which resembled a princess's boudoir in a castle, the walls were covered with wallpaper.

Those are all portrait wallpapers.

There are figures in various poses: some deep in thought, some in battle, some lying down, some standing, and even some in adorable chibi versions.

The only thing they have in common is that the portraits on them all depict only one person.

The design is very simple.

You can't even see their faces.

Only the gray-brown cloak, like embers after the flames had burned out, covered his entire body, casting him in shadow.

That's it.

There is no ostentation whatsoever; he is very reserved.

People five hundred years from now would probably not recognize him at all and would think he's a weirdo, but in the wasteland five hundred years ago, no one would be unfamiliar with this image.

Because that is

ash!

These "ash" wallpapers are just the appetizer; ash stickers can also be seen on other furniture in the lord's bedroom.

From sofa covers, bedding, wardrobe doors, and desktop stickers.

From small items like water cups, slippers, clothes hangers, and towels

It can be said that the entire dormitory has been transformed into a completely "ashes-themed" style.

Right now, sitting on the rose-colored bed, the pattern on the sheets "just" depicting parts of Ash's body, Lena looked at the teleportation array with a nervous yet expectant gaze.

She hugged two cushions with the Ashes logo on either side of her bed, and Ashes plush toys could be seen at the head and foot of the bed.

If it weren't for the curved horns on her head and the swaying tail behind her, with the heart at the end of the tail constantly blinking—these classic markings that clearly identify her as a succubus—Lena, combined with the scene, would resemble a little princess in love waiting for her prince to return.

That being said, Lena is indeed a princess among succubi.

at last!

The teleportation flashed, and a faint heart shape appeared in Rena's red eyes—a classic sign of a succubus going into heat.

After the light fades

The figure we were hoping for never appeared.

Only a black and gold envelope floated by.

Lena still held onto a sliver of hope, but when she opened the envelope and read the memories of Klaus and Catwoman inside, she was utterly dejected. She turned and buried her head in a cushion modeled after the giant ash head, twisting and turning like a little princess throwing a tantrum after not getting her favorite toy.

However, Lena quickly recovered; she was not a succubus who would get angry over a man.

It's highly likely that Lord Ash didn't fall for her little trick.

Lena had already achieved her other real goal; she picked up a script from the bedside table.

Yes.

As the chairperson of "Shanghai Film Industry", Lena has participated in the arrangement of many films. However, art originates from reality. Lena, who has not been "in hibernation" for the past five hundred years, has not been idle. Instead, she has been planning her five-part series.

These are *The Fallen Nun*, *The Conquered Empress*, *Can Clones Dream of Electric Sheep?*, *The Slaughter of the Proud Elf Knight*, and finally, *The Succubus's Great Victory!*

There was also a chessboard next to Lena's bed.

Of the chess pieces placed on top, the nun-like one has already fallen over.

Next to the mechanical chess piece, a new, even smaller mechanical chess piece has appeared.

One elf piece stood in front, followed by many "gray" and "damaged" inferior pieces.

The "Queen" piece, in contrast to the Elf pieces, is surrounded and protected by layers of shiny "Soldier" pieces. However, now...

Lena picked up the only black piece on the board that had "eaten" the nun's piece and placed it opposite the queen and the pawn pieces.

"Go for it, Lord Ash! Give that arrogant, aloof dragon girl, Tang Jiuyou, a good lesson! Go for it!!"

Lena, sitting on the bed, vigorously swung her small fists.

Lord Ash is already taking action over there.

I can't fall behind.

Especially for the final installment of the quintet.

Through the memories contained in the envelope, Lena finally saw the true face of Lord Ash, hidden beneath his cloak.

"So handsome!"

Her heart-shaped tail curled up again, and her restless body began to instinctively secrete mucus rapidly. Lena swallowed several times.

However, Reina quickly shook her pink-haired head, proving she wasn't a succubus who would be infatuated with a man!

As the princess of the succubus clan, Lena vowed from a young age to be different from others. She wanted to lead the succubi to open up a new path and to change the stereotype of succubi in the eyes of the world!

To establish new rules, one must naturally lead by example. Lena was almost successful until she met Lord Ash.
