How does this guy even know this?

“I saw a fleeting look of surprise in your eyes, Sir Knight.” Laxia slowly raised her head, her beautiful, deep purple eyes meeting Ye Xiao’s gaze. Her pink lips brushed against Ye Xiao’s earlobe as she softly uttered, “Lying children will be punished, you know.”

"No, this... Miss Laxia, there must be some misunderstanding..."

"Don't be nervous." The girl's eyes curved into crescents, and she wore an innocent smile. Her little tongue, however, seemed unable to contain its excitement as she licked the corner of her mouth. "My knight, I'll let you go after I'm done playing with you."

My God, what's wrong with this woman?!

Ye Xiao felt a chill run down his spine; this guy in front of him was just too strange no matter how you looked at it.

He tried to struggle, but his body was stiff and uncontrollable in the chair, leaving him at the mercy of the other person.

However, just when Ye Xiao thought everything was over, he saw Laksia suddenly pout and show a depressed expression.

"Ah... why did it have to happen at this time..."

Before Ye Xiao could understand the meaning behind the words, he suddenly felt a violent tremor, as if the entire floor was shaking.

Chapter 90 Holgard

"what happens?"

After a brief sway, Ye Xiao realized that he had regained control of his body.

He heard what sounded like a commotion coming from the lobby downstairs.

But then Laxia sat up from the bed and put one of her little feet on Ye Xiao's thigh.

"...What are you doing?" Ye Xiao asked, puzzled.

"Help me put on my shoes."

"Huh? You have hands and feet, can't you dress yourself??"

"Hurry up! My servants usually help me get dressed!"

"I'm not your servant..."

Before he could finish speaking, Ye Xiao noticed a figure in a servant's shirt suddenly emerge from the gap in the curtain on the inside of the private room.

"Oh, you're here so fast." Laxia showed no panic, as if she had expected the other party's appearance.

At that moment, Ye Xiao keenly noticed that the figure's stomach was abnormally swollen slightly, as if several restless tumors were about to burst out of the belly.

Ye Xiao recalled the strange tremor he had just experienced; he seemed to have seen a similar scene in his previous life.

This instantly put him on high alert, and he almost immediately scooped the girl on the bed into his arms and rushed toward the door.

"boom"

Just as Ye Xiao burst through the door carrying Laxia, a deafening crash came from behind him.

The figure shrouded in black robes suddenly exploded, and tentacles shot out in all directions from the shattered flesh, instantly riddling the exquisite private room with holes.

Ye Xiao pulled the girl into his arms and lay down on the ground. After a cloud of dust dissipated, he looked back at a tentacle that was stuck in the wall above his head, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

Why is this thing here?!

In his previous life, Ye Xiao had encountered this thing belonging to the witch's army in many battles when he followed the resistance army to fight against the Witch of the End, Ella.

This is a self-destructing mutated corrupted being. Once triggered, the cluster of tentacles hidden in his stomach will burst through everything around him like fireworks.

Several of Ye Xiao's friends from the Seven Stars Society died because of this thing disguised among civilians. As a result, Ye Xiao deeply engraved the behavior of this self-destructing corrupted being at the moment of detonation, which was extremely stealthy in its attack method, into his mind.

Therefore, he recognized the thing at a glance in this life.

But weren't these self-destructing corrupted beings created by Ella? How come they're appearing again in this lifetime?

Ye Xiaoxin was surprised and immediately prepared to leave while holding Laksia.

But the girl in his arms gently patted Ye Xiao's shoulder, "Don't worry, both of them here have already been blown up."

"However, the fact that it managed to plant this thing in the bodies of two servants without my senses shows that I've been outsmarted."

Hearing the girl's calm voice, Ye Xiao couldn't help but ask, "...No, beautiful lady, aren't you afraid of seeing such a strange thing?"

"If I told you I was scared, would you mate with me?"

"Your statement is way too direct!" Ye Xiao couldn't hold back any longer. How could this guy still spout such lewd nonsense in such a critical situation? "And of course not! Aren't you afraid of what you might have to do with *spouse!

"Tch, so many people wouldn't even dream of having this chance... Then hurry up and take me to that room at the end of the corridor, that's where the last explosion happened."

Hearing Laksia's words, Ye Xiao hurriedly carried her to the other end of the corridor.

But after taking a few steps, he seemed to immediately realize something, "Wait, can't you walk by yourself!?"

"How am I supposed to walk if you don't even help me put on my shoes?!"

"Why don't you just step on the ground?"

"No! It's filthy!"

Laxia clung tightly to Ye Xiao's neck like a katydid. This guy was surprisingly strong, and Ye Xiao was unable to get him off his body for a moment.

In addition, she was shouting and yelling, which drew the attention of many people who had run out of their rooms because of the tremors.

"Are you poisonous?!"

Left with no other choice, Ye Xiao could only let the other person cling to him as they headed to the room at the end of the corridor.

Ye Xiao shoved open the dilapidated door with his shoulder and saw a mass of tentacles, just like the one in the room before, with thousands of tentacles growing out of it and leaving the surrounding area riddled with holes.

However, this time the one who had been implanted with the self-destructing tentacle group was a maid. Ye Xiao could make out the general idea from the half of her head that was still on the ground.

In the corner of the room, a blond man was huddled and trembling. Upon seeing Ye Xiao and Laxia enter, he cried out in alarm, "Ah...sir, please save me! I...I was just talking to her, and suddenly she..."

"It exploded, I know, Holgard, but there's no danger anymore." Laxia waved her hand as she lay in Nightfall's arms. "Blame this knight, you've just suffered an undeserved misfortune."

"What's going on here?" Ye Xiao looked at the person in front of him and felt that he looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen the person before.

"To put it simply, two assassins with strange abilities have infiltrated my manor. One is here to kill you, and the other is here to kill this man."

Laxia explained it casually.

"Kill me?" Ye Xiao finally realized that the target of the mutated and corrupted person was him.

“Yes, think about whether you’ve made any enemies lately, Mr. Knight.” Laxia put a slender leg on Ye Xiao’s shoulder. “Look, my guests were so scared that they ran out of the room. They’ve caused me so much trouble. You’d better make it up to me.”

"So this is all my fault?" Ye Xiao asked, puzzled. "Then what about this person? I can understand if it was just targeting me, but why kill this person?"

"Hmph, I guess they're afraid he'll side with you too." Laxia said, her fingers restlessly stroking Ye Xiao's slightly bearded cheek as she rested her neck. "Your princess is currently gaining momentum in the royal selection. If you were to win over this person as well, it would be too risky for them."

“In the past, they might not have cared about him, but after receiving news that you had come here, having already learned their lesson, they had no choice but to take action.”

"After all, there have been too many variables surrounding your princess lately, Sir Knight."

"Um, excuse me, I don't quite understand... Who is this guy? Why would he suddenly think I want to form an alliance with him?" Ye Xiao was a little confused.

He looked at the man on the ground, who was shivering in loose pants. Putting aside the fact that he didn't even know this guy, with his cowardly look of kidney deficiency, what benefits could there be in forming an alliance with him?

Just as Ye Xiao was thinking this, a scene suddenly flashed through his mind.

...Wait a minute, what did Laxia just call him?

Chapter Ninety-One: The Terrifying Demon God

Ye Xiao immediately opened the system task panel in his mind.

Sure enough, the name "Holgard" was listed right there.

This guy, he's actually the Fifth Prince, Holgard??

After her initial surprise, Ye Xiao began to understand.

There seems to be nothing wrong with it.

The Fifth Prince was already rumored to be a good-for-nothing who only knew how to indulge in pleasure and debauchery, so his presence in this high-class immersive club full of important figures couldn't be more fitting for that description.

"Ah, it seems you've figured it out." The girl in his arms gave him a charming smile. "Honestly, you lied to me, yet I still let you know such important information."

"Shouldn't you compensate me a little, Mr. Knight?"

"Uh..." After realizing that the guy hiding in the corner was the Fifth Prince, Ye Xiao now understood why the assassins had gone to such lengths to storm into the manor and attack them.

These two assassins were clearly from Prince Raymond's faction. Although the Fifth Prince was indeed a useless man who liked to lie on women's bellies, he was still the Crown Prince.

Princess Skadi has already given Prince Raymond a surprise appearance; if this fifth prince is also feigning madness, the two of them working together could really tear Prince Raymond apart.

Especially knowing that Skadi's knight Ye Xiao happened to be visiting the Fifth Prince's manor during such a sensitive time, it was hard for him not to consider this a huge risk, forcing him to launch an attack by any means necessary.

However, this desperate attack also exposed a lot of information about Prince Raymond's faction.

This is similar to Ella's tentacle ability, and it's easy to connect it to the tentacle monsters in Greygold Town.

It seems that what Prince Raymond is behind is related to the town of Grey Gold and the God of Life.

Heh, Ye Xiao slightly curled the corners of his mouth. After waiting for so long, he finally caught him red-handed.

He guessed that the other party thought that the self-destructing corrupted person's attack method was extremely covert and powerful, and thought that they could definitely take him down, so they made their move directly.

And that was indeed the case. If Ye Xiao hadn't seen this thing before, he might have been stabbed to death on the spot.

Unexpectedly, this attempt failed to subdue him and instead exposed important information.

He needs to take the tentacles and flesh left behind by the self-destructing corrupted individual back to Ella for her to study...

"Hey, stop smirking at yourself!" Laxia shook Ye Xiao's neck. "Have sex with me, you hear me? Hurry up and have sex with me!"

"Ugh! Are you really toxic?!" Ye Xiao was exasperated, her thoughts interrupted.

He simply couldn't understand why a noble lady could utter such an unbearable word so readily, a sound that could be heard by everyone on the floor who had run out of their rooms because of the strange noise.

"You lured the attackers here to cause trouble, and you also obtained so much important intelligence from me. Shouldn't you give me some compensation?"

"It was indeed my fault, but can't we just have some normal trading activity..."

"**A transaction is still a transaction! This place is originally for **, what's wrong with **?!**"

"Oh, little sister, please, I'm begging you, could you please stop calling me that?" Ye Xiao was being rocked from side to side by the girl who kept shaking her leg and acting silly in his arms. "At least deal with the consequences of these unexpected events first!"

"Oh, you're right." Laxia, who was making a ruckus, paused slightly when she heard Ye Xiao's words.

Just when Ye Xiao finally thought he could get this guy off him, he heard her suddenly shout, "Ashgar!"

A wisp of black mist rose from the floor of the room.

A pink-haired girl wearing a pink and white maid dress emerged from the black mist, with a strange tail ending in a heart peeking out from under her skirt.

"What are your orders, my great master?"

"Have your sisters stay behind to clean up the two rooms that were attacked, and the rest of you go and comfort the guests."

"Yes, my master."

"Wait a minute, find me a double room, that's the priority."

"As ordered."

……ah?

Ye Xiao stared blankly as the maid, Ashgar, retracted her tail and then helped the Fifth Prince, who was huddled in the corner, out of the room.

"...High-ranking demon?"

"Oh dear, you've mistaken her for someone else's maid."

At this moment, Ye Xiao finally realized what was entangled around him.

No wonder this girl kept calling him "**" without any of the reserve a normal noblewoman should have.

No wonder she didn't react at all to the horrific self-destruct attack and the bloody scene.

No wonder statues of evil demons are found here.

Because this guy is none other than the damn Slaanesh!

“Well, Sir Knight, let’s enjoy a wonderful night together without being disturbed,” Laxia said with a slight smile, her deep purple eyes narrowed.

But at this moment, when Ye Xiao looked into those deep, dark eyes, it was as if he were looking into a bottomless abyss.

"Holy crap, get off me right now!!!"

It's no wonder Ye Xiao reacted so strongly; it's like suddenly discovering that the girl he's been hugging for so long is actually a ghost. Any normal person would feel a bit terrified.
