The Lord of Another World: All Wasted at the Beginning, and He Made His Fortune by Taking in the Fem

"This is... dark magic! You bastard!"

When her limbs had been firmly fixed by countless black threads and she had completely lost the ability to move, Karin, who was once a high-level warrior, finally reacted.

Not only was she angry about being deceived, she also realized how weak she was now - if the fifth-level fighting spirit was still there, how could she be bound by such magic?

"Please don't waste your energy. Although this is just a low-level dark magic, the strength of the threads I released is probably at level six."

"What... Level 6!? Who the hell are you!?"

Xia Ye's eyes were flashing with a blood-red evil light and his horns were burning with strange black flames. At this moment, his appearance was almost beyond the concept of being an alien.

The suffocating feeling of oppression and the simple yet powerful magic all proved her abnormality.

"…I need an explanation."

But at this time, Aarons, who was completely fixed in the seat, calmed down instead.

He really couldn't fully understand the abnormality in front of him, but Xia Ye was not a monster that could not communicate.

So he took the initiative to express his thoughts, seeking an answer that he could understand.

——Even if he was going to die, he wanted to die with a clear conscience.

"Sorry... Please allow me to reintroduce myself. I am Lan Xiaye, the former staff officer of the Fourth Corps of the Demonic Pioneer Army, the Huojiao Clan."

"The demons from a thousand years ago!? How is that possible!?"

Karin's remaining sanity was shattered by this bizarre answer.

If the black silk thread had not almost completely wrapped her body, she might have rushed forward to fight Xia Ye to the death.

"Demons? How could a thousand-year-old demon survive until now?"

"That's not always the case, Master Aarons. Although we demons are much stronger than ordinary humans, most of us only live for a mere two hundred years."

Although his true identity had been revealed, Xia Ye still addressed Aarons with honorifics, which made Aarons determined to continue the communication.

"I was just lucky enough to successfully advance to level seven in this world, which gave me an immeasurably long life."

"I'm sorry I'm such a talentless piece of shit that I don't understand the difference between these levels... but I guess this isn't all good for you, is it?"

Aarons had no knowledge of combat, but he felt a hint of sadness from Xia Ye's description.

After all her fellow tribesmen had died, how long did she wander alone in this world?

"You are too perceptive... Although we demons have talents and strength far beyond humans, we have an insurmountable weakness."

While talking about her own affairs calmly, Xia Ye slowly walked towards Aarons. The faint madness in her blood-red eyes made her originally cold and beautiful appearance even more charming.

"We must regularly devour living souls with a lot of negative emotions in order to maintain our sanity. Otherwise, we will become willless and crazy monsters, constantly destroying everything in sight until the end of our lives."

"...Did you invade this world just to devour human souls?"

"Although this is only my one-sided statement...but our tribe of trouble horns was not a warlike tribe in the past. We once suggested other tribes to coexist peacefully with humans, but we were unable to stop our expanding greed."

Aarons didn't know much about the history of the Demon War. He only knew that most of the demons that invaded this world at that time were eventually destroyed by human heroes.

And since Xia Ye is a member of the demon clan who survived by chance, she should need to devour souls frequently.

"So now, is it time for you to devour souls?"

"...You are so smart, kind and considerate, I really don't want to attack you... But I am already at my limit, and I have no choice but to do such a despicable thing."

Xia Ye is a demon, she must devour souls with a lot of negative emotions to maintain her survival. And Aarons is just the food necessary for her survival.

The two races were completely on different levels from the beginning, so they couldn't understand each other at that time.

“…Well, I have no right to ask others to give up their lives for me. Although it is indeed unlucky… Hahahaha, it is indeed too unlucky!”

At this point, Aarons could only laugh out loud.

In the original world, he traveled through time because his business went bankrupt, and after traveling back here, he was worried because his family business was about to go bankrupt. After finally solving the small problem, he encountered an irresistible predator.

If my life is destined to be plagued by bad luck, perhaps it would be more comfortable to just die.

"I'm really sorry... I will fulfill your wish and find a place for the rest of this family to stay."

"Humph, since you've said it to this point, I have nothing to regret."

In such a one-sided situation, there was no need for Xia Ye to lie to him.

This demon woman may really not want to hurt others easily, but her own weaknesses and desire to survive force her to do things against her will.

"What the Fear Horn Clan must take is the 'memories' of the soul, and I will only extract all of your memories... But if I do so, you will become a zombie that has forgotten even the instincts of breathing and eating."

At this time, Xia Ye gently placed his right hand on Aarons' head, and the cold touch did make Aarons feel a little scared.

"Hey! You damn bastard devil! If you want souls, why don't you come and eat mine!"

"I'm sorry, Miss Karin... The reason we brought the Inhumans here was because your souls could not calm our madness."

After the last glimmer of hope was extinguished, Aarons and Karin fell silent.

Facing such an opponent, even if they struggled with all their might, they could not escape their predetermined fate.

So in the end, Aarons still laughed.

"Okay, I hope it doesn't hurt."

"I'm sorry, Master Aarons, please forgive me... [Soul Capture]."

Thus, the real world before Aarons' eyes vanished into thin air.

——He saw himself being bullied by classmates and criticized by teachers in middle school. He also saw himself leaving the campus alone when he graduated from college.

——When he was in his twenties, he finally found a girlfriend who cost him a lot of money, but she ended up marrying someone else. When he was in his thirties and just starting his career, his parents unfortunately died of illness one after another.

——And when he was forty years old, the only career he could still devote his energy to collapsed because of a wrong decision.

If this is the revolving lantern of his entire life in his previous life, then there is too much sadness in it.

"So, I haven't even had a good life in my life, why is it...eh?"

However, when the dark memories faded away quietly, Aarons suddenly opened his eyes, only to find that he was still sitting in the chair in the reception room of the Marquis's Mansion.

In front of him was Xia Ye, who had returned to his previous appearance, but had a rare expression of astonishment.

"It turns out to be... the memories of two worlds? Who are you, Zhou..."

"Hey, wait a minute! Don't expose other people's secrets!"

Seeing the beautiful demon girl almost revealing his name in his previous life, Aarons was forced to make a loud noise to cover up the other party's surprised words in time.
