Chapter 2: New Century (Epilogue)
“Oh? How can you get more succubi for me?”
Xi Wei looked at Elizabeth with interest.
It would certainly be a very pleasant thing to control a group of succubi for his own use. After all, every succubus was a master of the mind, a confidante. As for Gabriel, she would soon resemble him, so there was no need to worry too much about that.
“Y-yes,” Elizabeth’s eyes, which had been filled with despair when she heard there was a way to live, immediately ignited with hope. As long as she could live, she had no problem betraying her own kind. As a demon, she had no psychological burden. If a demon doesn’t look out for itself, heaven and earth will destroy it!
“I… I need materials to set up a teleportation array, but this array will only connect to my tribe, not the entire first layer of the Abyss.”
Xi Wei was dismissive of the succubus’s explanation. He was not as foolish as Ye Hao. Even if the succubus was telling the truth now, he had to remain vigilant.
“You succubi are naturally cunning. How do I know if you’re really going to set up a tribal teleportation array and not turn my entire Winter City into a playground for demons?”
“Perhaps I should just kill you.”
“No… no!” Elizabeth’s wings turned white with fear. She crawled to Xi Wei’s feet, tears streaming down her face as she kowtowed. “My lord, I am willing to sign the most humble master-slave contract. Please spare my life, sob sob sob…”
She was on the verge of collapsing. The man before her resorted to violence at the slightest provocation and did not play by the rules. Although she had not used her charm, her beauty was undeniable. She was alluring and pure, how could she be inferior to the underdeveloped young dragon beside him? Could it be that the King of Winter himself had strange tastes? Elizabeth suddenly felt she had discovered the key to the problem!
Xi Wei seriously considered Elizabeth’s proposal. Under Connie’s supervision, this succubus would definitely sign a proper master-slave contract with him. Afterward, she would bring over other succubi as she said. This move of getting something for nothing was definitely a viable transaction.
“Alright. You and I will sign a master-slave contract, and I’ll spare your pathetic life. However, if you ever fall short in the future, I will not hesitate to kill you. You demons have no human rights in Winter City, understand?”
Elizabeth had no intention of refusing. Being able to live was already a great fortune. She quickly nodded in agreement and dared not keep the King of Winter waiting, immediately activating the demonic energy within her. This demonic energy flowed through the seductive demonic patterns all over Elizabeth’s body, illuminating those crimson patterns and gradually condensing into a scroll before her. This was the demon’s master-slave contract. It was very common for demons to sign such contracts among themselves. High-ranking demons, to prevent betrayal by lower-ranking demons, would usually sign contracts with subordinates who had good potential. Obviously, succubi, who were considered weaklings, were not usually included among these potential demons. This was because the succubi’s charm was of limited use against demons. Their only purpose was to charm creatures from the main material plane, cause destruction in cities, and lay the groundwork for demonic invasions.
The master-slave contract before them was written in Abyssal, with crimson demonic patterns slowly rotating around it. The system had automatically translated this Abyssal script. The general meaning was similar to what Elizabeth had said, but the terms were extremely harsh. First, Elizabeth would obey him unconditionally. Any thought of defiance would immediately turn her into ashes by the Abyssal hellfire. Second, if he died, Elizabeth would die with him, but if Elizabeth died, he would be fine. This type of contract was also often used by demons to sign with humans. Under the guise of an equal contract, they would use deception or charm to force humans to sign unequal contracts, ultimately becoming slaves to demons.
The contract was fine. Xi Wei bit his finger and placed it on the center of the contract. Immediately, his blood was absorbed by the demonic patterns, and a hidden pressure swept through. That was the will of the Demon God Satan, who automatically approved contracts sworn to him, like an automated customer service. Almost every main god had such an ability.
“Master.” After the contract was completed, Elizabeth inexplicably felt an urge to dedicate everything to the man before her. This was a bonus effect of the contract. She knelt subserviently before the King of Winter, declaring that she had become the King of Winter’s possession.
“Now, let’s discuss how to trick your succubus sisters into the main material plane. We don’t need too many, five will be enough for now. If possible, have them bring two fruits from the Demon Eye Tree.”
Xi Wei sat back in his chair, leaning back with practiced ease. However, this time, it was Connie’s chest that supported him. The little pervert dragon was so short that she had to fly up a little to prop up Xi Wei’s body.
“Great Master, the Demon Eye Trees grow near the Abyss Eye. We rarely go to that place, and it’s also very far from our tribe. Therefore, they might not be able to bring you the fruits. Besides, directly asking them to find the fruits might make them suspicious and refuse to be teleported to the main material plane,” Elizabeth explained cautiously to the man before her. This time, she didn’t need Connie’s Dragon Speech. Her words were entirely truthful and considered her master’s well-being from all angles.
“That’s troublesome?” Xi Wei frowned. It seemed that the fruits of the Demon Eye Tree would have to be collected by the players. He, a very busy person, had too many things to do in Winter City and couldn’t spare the time.
“Alright, let’s put this matter aside for now. What conditions and steps are needed to set up the teleportation array? Also, I must tell you in advance that one of the succubi summoned will definitely die, as I need a succubus’s heart.”
“Please rest assured, Master… Now that I am your property, the lives of other succubi are of no concern to me.” Elizabeth chuckled inwardly. When she was with her tribe, her pure and alluring appearance had overshadowed another old succubus, and she had even seduced the old succubus’s lover, a Horned Demon Commander who had come with her. Because of all these things, that old succubus had been making things difficult for her everywhere. Elizabeth had long wanted to get rid of her but had never found an opportunity. Among succubi, the acquisition of resources depended entirely on their own abilities, and how they gained the favor of male demons depended on their looks and service capabilities. Sabotaging others from behind was truly a disgrace to demons. This time, no matter what, she had to lure her arch-nemesis, that old woman, up here. Then, her master could take that bitch’s heart, and her revenge would be served. Her master’s mission would also be completed.
“As for the materials for the teleportation array, we need three Magic Cores from Rank 4 Magical Beasts as the core of the spell array. Besides that, we need the blood of five strong males to draw the spell array diagram. The structure of the array itself only requires two pieces of obsidian. Oh, and Master, I have a mortal enemy in my tribe, and she is an old succubus. Using her heart to remove the Heart Puppet Curse will be foolproof, as she has deep qualifications and her demonic energy is very pure.” Elizabeth deliberately reminded the man before her, licking her lips subconsciously, exuding an alluring charm, but she could no longer use her charm on this man. It was a professional habit.
Xi Wei saw at a glance that this succubus wanted to eliminate that old succubus. However, he was unconcerned. Since Elizabeth was now his slave and her request would not affect the entire plan, he was indifferent.
“Alright, I will prepare the materials for you. We will start building the teleportation array immediately.”
