Become their wicked yet gentle lord.

Heflian looked at Ryusha's true form with surprise, but her gaze quickly turned to one filled with hatred.

"The blood feud of my subordinates and the humiliation I suffered! Pay with your life!"

Although the spear was no longer with her, Hefren struggled to swim towards Ryusha, determined to fight this demon to the death!

When Liuxia woke up, she endured the pain all over her body and saw Haifulian approaching her. Instantly, she started wrestling with her in the water.

"Imp?!"

Tsk! His true colors have been seen! Fortunately, Heflian doesn't recognize him. In his panic, Ryuka has no choice but to resort to a despicable trick, reaching his hand under Heflian's skirt from underwater...

Hiss~

"It hurts!"

Heflin screamed, staring at the tuft of short white fur that Ryuka was holding, and instantly realized what had happened...

"you!"

Taking advantage of Hefren's moment of shame and anger, Ryuka instantly pulled away and released the remaining magic power towards Hefren!

"freeze!!!"

The lake water around Hafley instantly froze! Huge ice floes enveloped her body, and Hafley, equally exhausted, could no longer struggle free...

"Ha...we've been seen...what do we do now? We'll just have to kill him..."

"Ugh! Ugh ugh ugh!!!"

"Hmm...but she's a beauty after all, it would be a waste to kill her, so let's do xxx first and then kill her..."

"Ugh!!! Ugh!"

"Well... putting aside the fact that she has a Heavenly Rank behind her, just thinking about that thick body hair is a little disgusting..."

"Ugh!! Ugh ugh ugh!!!"

"Can you be a little quiet? Others are trying to think." Ryuka frowned and looked at Hefren's head next to her. Hefren was glaring at her angrily. Ryuka pinched Hefren's nose with her hand.

"Ughhhhh!!!" Heflene shook herself desperately, but to no avail. With her mouth sealed shut, she quickly suffocated and lost consciousness...

It's quiet now...

"But where is this...?"

Ryusha surveyed his surroundings. He found himself in the center of a lake surrounded by a dense forest. This place was probably a dozen kilometers south of Sochi City, likely within the territory of a noble who was a vassal of Sochi City.

“With Luminova defeating Quaid, the Masked Knight should be hesitant to pursue me due to Kramer's distraction, but that white-haired nun…”

Ryuga glanced back one last time and saw Bran blocking Luminova's path as she tried to chase him. He figured Bran would probably find a way to resolve the situation.

"I owe that guy a favor, what a hassle. But the commotion in Sochi this time was really big, I hope it won't attract the attention of the Holy See. If they send a large army of paladins from the Holy City, things will get complicated..."

Forget it, I'll leave those problems to my father-in-law, Earl Duke. Compared to those…

goo—

I'm hungry and exhausted, and there's this white-haired female knight beside me—I can't kill her, and I can't let her go. It's really troublesome.

Speaking of which, isn't the concentration of white-haired people around me a bit too high? Luminova has white hair, as does Vitry... while Kira and Zona have silver-gray hair...

But white fur just looks good...

Ryusha poked at Hafren's head, thinking that it would be great if there were any slave contracts available, such as going back to ask Megan where she got the contract device for the [Bloody Duel] back then.

Chapter 25 Seeking Refuge in a Mountain Cave

However, that's not necessarily safe. All slave contracts are a form of magic, and as the daughter of a Heavenly Rank family, Haifulian might have a way to break them.

"If we kill him, this world probably doesn't have any methods like natal soul lamps or tracking killers... It's hard to say..."

Liu Xia sighed. She had really learned a lot during her trip to Sochi City. Whether it was the secret arts of the dark elves or the application of magic in city defense, it seemed that being in the remote Linhu Town, she still didn't understand enough about the power of this world.

In short, let's fill our stomachs and regain our strength first...

"Ugh!! This is so annoying! What's going on? Why are there so many fights and brawls today?!"

In Linhu Town, Hetia slammed her hand on the table. At least dozens of fights, strikes, domestic violence incidents, and other incidents had occurred in the town today. Even the security soldiers sent out on missions were all in a bad mood.

It's probably because of Ryūka. Kania leaned against the window watching the sunset and saw the note that had just been delivered from Sochi City. It was the letter that Ryūka had sent by her familiar last night.

That guy could not only use his witch powers, but those powers were also related to those who obeyed and acknowledged him. And the restless desire that had surged within her earlier was familiar to Kania.

Something must have happened to him in town, considering the townspeople's reports that Luminova had headed west like an arrow...

"I'll be right back," Kania said, standing up.

"Is it about that kid? I'll go with you; flying will be faster, right?" Melanie said, picking up her staff as well, she vaguely sensed something as well.

Only Hetia and Megan looked at each other, unable to understand. Wasn't Ryusha just going to the border to handle some trivial matters?

"About this..."

Suddenly, an unfamiliar voice rang out, and a dark figure appeared in the room, causing Kania and the others to tense up instantly.

"Wait! Who are you..." Kira looked at the newcomer's brown pointed ears, stopped the tense group, and asked with a frown.

"My name is Zona, and I'm Master Ryusha's assassin. Miss Kira, it's been a long time..."

Zona recognized Kira at a glance. Although Kira didn't know her, Zona had seen Kira many times in the shadows.

After the riots in Sochi ended, she temporarily hid the rescued slaves and, after meeting the count, rushed to Linhu Town without stopping.

With the help of Kramer's magic, Zona, who was already skilled in speed, finally arrived in Linhu Town before sunset and recounted what had happened.

"That's how it is. Master Liuxia is out of danger. Although the search is still ongoing in name, the Earl's men are providing cover. Apart from Haifulian's personal guards searching like madmen, there shouldn't be any danger."

Zona finished speaking respectfully, but omitted the part about Kira's background, which she would have to wait for Ryūka herself or the Earl to tell Kira.

But Kira, gazing at her dark elf appearance, had already fallen into deep thought…

"Really? But that guy Ryuka is really..." Kania muttered, then suddenly hugged Zona from behind, kneading her breasts with both hands.

"Wait!"

Melanie, standing to the side, gave a cold snort: "She manages to attract pretty girls wherever she goes. What kind of weird ability is that?"

"Ahh~"

Liuxia sat by the campfire, roasting fish she had caught in the lake, wearing only shorts, with her clothes hanging nearby to dry.

"Hiss~ The autumn nights are still too cold... We need to add more firewood."

Ryuka shook her nearly dry hair and threw a stone spear into the campfire.

This is a goblin's lair in the forest. The fact that such a thing appeared not far from the human village shows that the nobles here are really neglecting their duties.

The little green monsters were naturally dealt with by Liuxia as easily as chopping vegetables, and the filthy cave was cleaned up to serve as a temporary shelter.

The excruciating pain in my body is clearly a side effect of the demonic transformation. Even using a trace of the power to kill goblins feels like countless knives are scraping my bones. It seems I must proceed with caution until I have fully recovered.

In a corner of the cave, Hefren, stripped of her clothes and left only in her underwear, glared fiercely at Ryusha.

Her hands were tied behind her back, her mouth was stuffed with a strip of cloth, and her originally rosy lips had turned purple from the cold. Exhausted, she had a magic mark that sealed her fighting spirit implanted below her lungs by Ryūka, but she still stared at Ryūka like a female leopard.

"Ugh! Ugh ugh ugh ugh!"

'You bastard! Go ahead and kill me if you dare, or you'll regret it!'

After spending a lot of time together, Ryuka somehow managed to understand her mumbled words. This guy hadn't stopped cursing after waking up, after all, he had killed several of her subordinates.

"Do you even understand our current situation? When I first met you, I thought you would be a smarter guy."

Heflian seemed tired and finally calmed down, but she still stared at Ryuka and kept glancing to the side.

There lay her and Ryūka's clothes and armor, drying by the campfire, and Ryūka's longsword was also there.

"Hmm? I advise you not to have any bad intentions."

After finishing a grilled fish, Liu Xia poked Haifulian's plump body with the wooden stick in his hand, while thinking about his next move.

Come to think of it, this guy's father is a general in the capital, right? He seems to be in charge of the capital's defenses or something similar; someone like that shouldn't be able to leave his post without permission. And...

"Does your father know about your involvement with the Third Prince's faction? Or rather, does the Emperor himself know?"

Heflian's pupils contracted instantly! And Ryuka immediately realized she had guessed correctly...

For someone in such a position of the emperor's confidant, having an affair with one of the princes or princesses would be a serious matter...

"Looks like you don't know. Did you come behind your father's back?"

Ryuka continued to poke and prod Hefren, her playful tone completely different from before. Hefren, on the other hand, seemed deflated, averting her gaze.

"Looks a bit more obedient now," Ryuka said, picking up a grilled fish and waving it in front of Hefren.

"If you stay quiet and behave yourself, I'll let you eat something. I'm a very kind person, but if you dare to do anything, don't blame me~"

After all, it would be a loss for him if such a beautiful woman starved to death.

As she spoke, Liuxia untied the gag from her mouth and brought the grilled fish closer.

Haifulian glared at Ryuka, her pursed lips trembled slightly, and she opened her mouth to the grilled fish that Ryuka offered her.

"Sigh~"

Heflian's fierce demeanor vanished instantly upon being burned, while Ryuka couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Tsk!" Haifulian turned around and lay face down on the wall, saying humiliatingly, "Just kill me then." (The rest of the text appears to be gibberish and unrelated to the previous sentences.)

"Huh~ really?" Ryuka narrowed her eyes, examining Heflian's body up close.

Her body was very similar to Hetia's, with soft fat beneath the strong muscles of a female knight. However, her skin was more delicately maintained, appearing incredibly smooth even by the campfire. Her breasts were roughly the same size, but her hips were slightly smaller than Hetia's, and while her waist muscles weren't as defined, she still had beautiful abs. When she was quiet, her long, white hair enveloped her body, making her look like a sculpture of a refined lady.

Ryuka felt that her body was still in pain and she had no energy to enjoy that kind of thing.

But that doesn't mean we can't tease or scare her a little, right?

Ryuka simply picked up Hefren around the waist and placed her face down on her lap.

"Wait, what are you going to do!"

"You want me to kill you? Well, before I die, shouldn't I at least have some fun with you?"

"Goo-ha~ Whatever, you're no different from those dead goblins anyway~"

*Smack!* Liu Xia slapped her buttocks, leaving a red handprint on her fair skin. But Haifulian gritted her teeth and didn't make a sound.

Ha, still a tough nut to crack. Ryuka didn't mind at all; with her soft body wrapped around her lap, she didn't mind the weight at all, and it actually kept her warm.

Ryuu slapped and played with Heflian's pert buttocks, her fingers moving nimbly. Even with her fighting spirit, Heflian only bit her lip until it bled, refusing to utter a single groan.

"What? Is that all? I think you should just finish what you're doing and kill me. You're wasting time. Don't think you're so great about your methods."

Heflian's trembling voice was full of disdain, as if she had already resigned herself to her fate, remaining a dead fish no matter how much Ryūka toyed with and humiliated her.

"Ha~ bodily fluids? It's just a normal physiological reaction. Your technique is not bad, so I'll let you serve me obediently~"

Heflian, who had been thrown to the ground, sneered, showing no fear of being violated. Her gaze swept over the marks on Ryuu's pants, and she began to mock him further.

"I get it~ You're one of those pathetic wretches who thinks you can make women like you just because you're big in bed, right? Fine~ Let me have a taste~ I'm going to die anyway, so what's the big deal~"

"Whether you want to humiliate or torture me, it's up to you. Even if you turn me into a human pig, I'll curse you in hell!"

This is such a stubborn one; the more stubborn she is, the more one wants to conquer her, rather than simply and brutally violate her. Seeing Haifulian's disdainful gaze, Ryusha pushed her aside.

"What? Lost interest? Or just want to soothe your stomach? Looks like forcing yourself on a woman is still too early for a kid like you~"

After filling his stomach, Ryuka tied Heflian up again, then pressed against her soft body from behind like hugging a pillow, freely climbing up her breasts and inserting his hands into her valley, kneading her as he drifted off to sleep...

……

Nothing happened that night. The next morning, Ryuka woke up first. She had heard the sound of horses' hooves outside the previous night, which must have been the personal guards searching for Haifulian. This made Ryuka extremely nervous. Fortunately, the cave entrance was well hidden, and Haifulian had fainted from hunger and exhaustion and had not yet woken up, thus escaping a disaster.

Ryusha withdrew her hand; the sticky liquid on it had long since dried. Heflian didn't know how many times she had been played with last night, but each time she held her breath, only letting out a soft, trembling moan once or twice.

Hiss... Ryuka only tried to stand up, and the pain was even worse than yesterday. It seems that after a night's rest, her body's reaction was even stronger.

He struggled and swayed his body to reach the cave entrance; the distance of a dozen meters felt like an eternity.

Despite the pain, Ryūka rearranged the camouflage of the cave entrance. She then went out to check and found that the cavalry unit that had searched the area last night was less than ten meters from the cave entrance…

Without nutrition, I can't go on. I should have caught more prey yesterday while I was still able to move. Liuxia frantically gathered some wild fruits, and by the time she returned to the cave, her jaw was chattering.

The sun was high in the sky, and Heflian was still asleep; her purple lips were already dry and cracked.

Oh no... This guy didn't drink a drop of water yesterday, and not only that, he was also dehydrated from my teasing... It would be such a waste if he died like this.
