After work, start to speedrun the other world-Chapter 292 - 106: Seizing Primal Maternity and Beauty, The Very Reason to Become a Demon
"Next, please allow me to introduce you," the puppet girl said, maintaining a sweet smile, displaying none of the annoying brat’s demeanor.
She raised her hand to lightly brush the hair at her ear and led Ahtal to the main seat, then consciously stood beside him.
She was the very picture of an assistant.
"This girl... is such a suck-up," someone murmured under their breath, causing the puppet girl to frown. Looking in the direction of the voice, she caught the eye of a Shark Girl sitting cross-legged in a chair, with a serrated greatsword beside her.
"I think you misunderstand," said the puppet girl with a smile. She produced a cup of coffee from nowhere and placed it in front of Ahtal’s table.
"My respect for Lord Ahtal comes from the heart."
"Ah... yeah, I feel that," the Shark Girl scratched her head, her gaze drifting away. She had just made a snarky comment without much thought and felt a little embarrassed now that she had been caught in the act.
But she truly thought the puppet girl was being overly obsequious, even though Ahtal was a well-known genius with boundless potential.
Volunteering to suck up to him seemed to lack the pride of a strong being.
"Who is this?" Xi Mu asked, sizing up the Shark Girl. She was wearing hot short pants, with a shark tail extending out, and her upper body clad in a small jacket that couldn’t cover her ample bosom, squeezing out a snowy valley that was as deep and enticing as an abyss that drew the eyes irresistibly.
And that slightly upturned beautiful face gave off an air of haughtiness, making one want to pin her down on the table, pound her pert little behind until she cried out in distress, and never dare keep that haughty look again.
"Kashute, a higher-ranked being among the merfolk," the puppet girl said, keeping her sweet smile. "Don’t let her youthful appearance fool you; she’s at least a thousand years old, practically an old granny."
The Shark Girl twitched her mouth, wanting to grab the serrated greatsword beside her and slice at the puppet girl’s neck, but considering she was the first to offend, decided to restrain herself. She crossed her arms, huffed, and said:
"Age doesn’t matter to me at all."
"Being able to maintain vitality is actually a good thing." Xi Mu offered a very gentle smile, which caught the Shark Girl off guard. Her arrogant demeanor disappeared, and she gently scratched her cheek, unconsciously adopting a more ladylike posture.
"Actually, I..." Before she could finish, the puppet girl had already turned her attention to the next person, deliberately starting:
"This here is Alistair, once acclaimed as the most talented Mage. I believe Lord Ahtal has already met him."
"..."
Xi Mu and Alistair exchanged a glance, nodding at each other in silent agreement. They had seen each other before in the Magic Kingdom.
This was definitely on purpose!
The Shark Girl twitched her mouth again but held back. Nevertheless, her eyes were sizing up Ahtal, realizing that there must be a reason the Witch of Death favored this human. He was indeed very handsome, with a gentle and mature smile that hit all the right buttons in her preferences.
But alas, he was the Witch of Death’s favored one, and she figured she had no chance to hold his hand and was probably doomed to stay single forever.
"Next, this is Granny Saisi, the most longstanding follower of the Witch of Death," the puppet girl continued introducing.
Xi Mu nodded slightly, acknowledging Granny Saisi with a nod.
"Princess Lilith." The puppet girl moved on to introduce the next person, pointing at a mature woman playing with her red nails, with waterfall-like golden hair.
Following where she pointed, Xi Mu looked just as the Princess raised her head, meeting his gaze with wine-red eyes that hinted at laziness and sorrow, captivating one’s soul, making one feel like becoming her captive.
According to the official game setting, Lilith had a powerful charm to enchant all beings, and it was this very ability that led many greedy kings and warriors to her. They caused the downfall of her country, driving Lilith into despair. In the church, she cursed the God of Beauty and Art and consequently fell, becoming a vampire.
Afterward, using her immense power, Lilith instigated a brutal massacre, affecting several countries.
"Lord Ahtal, beauty can sometimes be... a sin," Lilith suddenly said, explaining as Ahtal looked at her in astonishment:
"You too possess extraordinary beauty, which will inevitably attract malevolent attention. Please be careful."
Xi Mu chuckled, "I’m a guy, shouldn’t have to worry about that, right?"
"Have you forgotten about Michael?" Lilith solemnly reminded. "Now that you are a radiant Hero, there will definitely be those interested in you. Please be cautious, and don’t let malicious beings... or gods abduct you."
In this world... beautiful people always seemed to attract danger. It had been so for her; if not for Granny Saisi secretly helping her with a curse that turned her into a vampire, she might have been abducted and humiliated by countless people. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦
And she saw Ahtal in a similar light. After the "return of the gods," Ahtal’s existence had been imbued with a different significance, shining bright like the sun, sure to attract unwelcome attention.
It could very well be that, if not careful, he might be snatched by the gods to the high heavens, locked in a secret dungeon, to be humiliated day and night—one of the realms of possibility.
