Greta and Lucyville are quite adorable, but as the oldest deities in the world, the Demon Gods are not all benevolent beings.

"Oh dear, why are you suddenly so nervous?" Laxia said sweetly. "You were the one who picked me up in your arms, and now you're going to throw me off? That's just too hurtful."

"My Lord Demon God, I was blind to your greatness!" Ye Xiao's lips twitched. "How about you consider other compensation options?"

After realizing who the other party truly was, Ye Xiao dared not let this guy continue to pester him.

"Hmm, to be my slave?"

"Isn't this even more outrageous!?"

"But I'm really interested in you." The girl's pink nose touched Ye Xiao's neck and sniffed again. "Hmph, and you have Mammon's scent on you. You're both demon gods. You can have sex with her, so why can't you have sex with me?"

"Don't talk nonsense! I didn't do that with her!" Ye Xiao was covered in sweat and tried to pull the girl off him, but it was completely futile.

"You can't fool me, the scent of her on you is incredibly strong!"

"Um, maybe it's just because she often lies inside my clothes...?" Ye Xiao subconsciously tried to explain.

"Huh?" Unexpectedly, upon hearing Ye Xiao's words, Laxia's eyes widened. "Isn't this considered 'sex'?! I was just saying it casually, and you actually slept with Mammon?!"

"I told you no!" Ye Xiao cried, on the verge of tears. "She just turned into a cat..."

"My hell! I underestimated you, human," the pink-haired girl exclaimed, increasingly astonished. "Your fetishes have reached this level! No wonder you didn't react no matter how I tried to flirt with you; it turns out you're more interested in animals transformed from demons..."

"Damn it, I already said that's not what I meant!!!"

Chapter Ninety-Two: Bewitched by a Witch

Thanks to the scent left by Greta, Laxia finally gave up on bothering Ye Xiao for the time being.

“You ate your sister’s man without saying a word; she’s definitely going to be angry,” Laxia said. “I’ll come find you after I tell her.”

"I'm not worth your concern, adults. I think we should just forget about each other and go our separate ways..."

Laksia suddenly stuck out her pink tongue and licked Ye Xiao's neck.

"...What are you doing!?"

"I'll mark you, hehe," she said, clearly ignoring Ye Xiao's words, her eyes full of seductive charm. "What breed of cat does Mr. Knight like? I'll come find you dressed like that next time."

"I already said it has nothing to do with cats!"

Ye Xiao was a little nervous. Although this guy wasn't bothering him anymore, his reputation seemed to have gotten even worse.

After exchanging a few more blows with the restless hands and feet of the other party, the maid Ashgar finally came over and led them to a new room.

As soon as he entered the room, Ye Xiao hurriedly threw the girl in his arms onto the bed.

This was the first time he had ever hugged a beautiful girl and felt like he was being entangled by an octopus.

“How heartless, Mr. Knight,” Laxia said, lying on the bed looking at Ye Xiao, her pink lips lightly biting her finger, her purple eyes seeming to hold a hint of resentment. “You won’t even give me a hug, even though I’ve shown you such deep affection… Oh well, next time I tell my sister, you won’t be able to run away.”

"Please don't do this, Demon God. I really can't bear your affection." Ye Xiao was a little embarrassed.

This time, because the clothes worn to this manor couldn't be trench coats or capes, it wasn't convenient to bring Greta along. Wearing her directly on her head to this kind of gathering would also be a bit strange, so Ye Xiao left the cat maid in the care of her friends from the Seven Stars Society.

But given the current situation, it seems better to have brought her along; at least Greta might have kept this guy a little more obedient.

“But if that’s the case, then this statue must be yours?” Ye Xiao took out a small wooden statue of a demon from his pocket. “I saw my roommate at the academy worshipping this thing before, and now he has disappeared for two days. Strangely, this thing has been attached with a trace of divine power that seems to belong to you.”

"Honestly, you refuse to meet people's demands but still expect them to do things for you," Laxia said, resting her chin on her hand and glancing at the statue in Ye Xiao's hand. "This is indeed mine, and my servants will distribute it to the guests who come to the manor."

"After all, they are gods. It's not unreasonable for them to want to spread some faith."

“However, we do have some academy visitors of lower status who hope to elevate their position by currying favor with high-ranking nobles. That's quite common,” Laxia pouted. “But actually, I prefer things without a purpose, purely for the sake of it. Purposeful acts ultimately lose their charm…”

"Alright, alright, Your Majesty, you don't need to instill your avant-garde ideas into a mortal like me," Ye Xiao interrupted. "Among these academy students, is there a thin, short boy with a rather gloomy face and a bowl cut?"

“Last night, a male guest whose appearance matched your description did come here.” Laxia thought for a moment. “However, he wasn’t wearing the academy’s uniform, so I don’t know if he was a student.”

"His appearance wasn't particularly outstanding, so he lingered in the lobby downstairs for quite a while. But one of our wealthy female guests seemed to quite like this type of thin, small boy, so we invited him upstairs."

"Um, may I meet that wealthy lady you mentioned?"

"Hmph, I'm quite professional, and it's already an exception that I revealed your customer information," Laxia replied decisively. "Besides, you don't have anything to offer me."

"No, not even for Lord Mammon's sake?"

“Of course,” the pink-haired girl looked at Ye Yexiao with a deep gaze, “Your sister’s face has already guaranteed that you won’t be eaten by me tonight.”

Looking into those eyes, which were like those of a ravenous beast, Ye Xiao couldn't help but swallow.

Okay, but at least we now know why his cheap roommate was worshipping Slaanesh and why he went missing.

I guess that guy ended up being taken in as a male concubine by a rich woman. I'm not very familiar with him, so I'm investigating this statue mainly because I'm worried that some demonic forces might be involved in the imperial selection.

Now that we've seen the demon god in person, and he doesn't seem to have any connection with the imperial forces, this line of events should end here.

Meeting the Fifth Prince was quite unexpected, but that guy really lived up to his name; he was a good-for-nothing, and there was nothing to get along with.

We'll take the remains of those two suicide bombers to Ella later; there shouldn't be anything else worth investigating further.

"Very well, then, Lord Demon God, I shall take my leave now..."

"Hey, I've told you so much, and you think you can just leave like that?"

“Uh…” Ye Xiao’s lips twitched. “But didn’t you say you’d let me off the hook for Lord Mammon’s sake…”

“I mean I won’t eat you,” Laxia smiled slightly, “but you should at least do something for me in return, isn’t that too much to ask?”

"That's no problem. Is there anything I can help you with, Lord Demon God?" Ye Xiao stroked his chin.

He did get a lot of information from Laxia, but he also caused her two problems. The only information he gave her about Ella was false, so in a way, he did feel a bit guilty.

Therefore, it's perfectly reasonable to take on a side quest and go back to do some work for the other party.

"Not bad, not bad, it seems you do know how to be grateful." The girl then turned over and lay face down on the bed. "Then I'll trouble you to give me a massage, Mr. Knight."

"what?"

"What are you 'ha ha' for? Get to the point!" Laxia stretched out her little foot, hooked it around the hem of Ye Xiao's shirt, and pulled him onto the bed. "You should feel honored. My servants would have to sacrifice their souls to touch me!"

"No, but I'm not your servant..."

What a joke! Ye Xiao is a professional adventurer, how could he possibly accept such an abstract task that would humiliate his professional dignity?

“Then I’ll tell Sister Mamon that you’ve been having affairs with more than a dozen women here.”

"Sir, would you prefer a French massage or a Chinese massage?"

……

Holding her soft, plump little feet, barely the size of her own palm, and gently rubbing them, the slight fleshiness felt comforting against her palm through the smooth white silk.

However, the strange noises that the other party made from time to time made Ye Xiao sweat profusely.

The sound wasn't loud, but it seemed to stir Ye Xiao's mind like a nerve.

If it weren't for the debuff that Ella had placed on Ye Xiao, his mental state would probably have been completely ruined by this guy.

Chapter Ninety-Three: The Test

However, once we've dealt with this guy, we can find Li Cheng and run away as soon as possible.

Anyway, all the investigations that needed to be done have been completed. It's a pity that the Fifth Prince is such a good-for-nothing, otherwise Ye Xiao might have considered developing a relationship with him.

However, it was just an accidental encounter, since I hadn't heard much about this guy in my previous life.

It seems there won't be any plot points involving pretending to be a loser while actually biding their time...

No... wait a minute.

Is this really the case?

A picture suddenly flashed through Ye Xiao's mind.

He was constantly being tormented by that demon god Slaanesh, which meant he didn't pay much attention to the Fifth Prince.

But upon closer reflection, Ye Xiao suddenly remembered something very incongruous that had just happened.

The more he thought about it, the more uneasy he felt. Looking at the beautiful young woman's back, he finally spoke:

"Lord Laxia... I would like to confirm whether the Fifth Prince, Holgard Betis, is truly just an ordinary guest of yours?"

"Hmm?" Laxia, upon hearing Ye Xiao's words, gave a meaningful smile to her face, her face turned towards the pillow. "What if I said yes?"

“If you don’t protect him, I’m going to confront him.” Ye Xiao shrugged.

"Tsk tsk," Laxia turned her head slightly, looking at Ye Xiao who was massaging her calves, her gaze seemingly amused, "Mr. Knight really likes to pry into the secrets of young girls."

"...But you could have kept it from me, right? Was this...a test?"

“Knight, you are becoming more and more interesting to me,” Laxia licked her lips. “If it weren’t for Mammon, I would really like to pamper you.”

Ye Xiao's lips twitched, and her hand, which was kneading the soft, milky ice cream-like calf, trembled slightly.

"How did you know?" a seductive young girl's voice rang out.

"Even I reacted a little too quickly to that suicide bomber. The Fifth Prince, Holgard, was holding onto the person when the explosion happened."

Ye Xiao had the experience of encountering self-destructing corrupted individuals multiple times in his previous life, which allowed him to make the decision to avoid them based on a moment's observation.

The fifth prince, Holgard, was holding the maid in his arms when the explosion occurred.

After the explosion, when Ye Xiao and the others arrived, they found him huddled in a corner, completely unharmed.

How could this be an ordinary person? An ordinary person would have been riddled with holes by the tentacles long ago.

"It might just be a defensive spell I set up for my distinguished guest."

"If such a spell exists, why didn't it trigger when our previous room was attacked?" Ye Xiao whispered. "The new room you had your men change to is decorated similarly to the previous rooms, which means it's a standard suite and not your private room. If defensive spells were set up, they should all be there."

"Ah~" Laxia suddenly exclaimed softly, "That's wonderful, Mr. Knight, your idea... Ah~ and your technique."

Ye Xiao was exasperated and tightened his grip on the girl's soft waist.

The other party shouted even louder, which startled Ye Xiao so much that he quickly withdrew his strength.

"No, Mr. Knight, I want it to be as exciting as it was just now."

"Ahem, so you're planning to support this Fifth Prince in the imperial selection from behind the scenes?"

"Oh dear, rushing through foreplay can ruin a girl's experience."

Can't this guy just talk normally?

Ye Xiao was speechless, but there was nothing he could do about this guy. "So, you deliberately let me find out about the Fifth Prince's affairs in order to secretly connect me with him?"

"Well, can't we just hope you have a reason to come and visit us more often?"

"...I will choose to firmly support Her Highness the Princess."

"Ah~ The cold and aloof knight feels great too."

"...But, Lady Laxia, I really don't want us to be enemies."

"Ah~ If we become enemies, will the knight really ravage me?"

"..."

ah--! ! !

Holy crap!! What the hell is wrong with this guy?!?

Ye Xiao roared inwardly; he had never felt that communicating with people could be so painful.

If I could beat him, I really wanted to teach this guy a lesson.

Even if you could beat them, teaching them a lesson would only make them happier.

Holy crap, in some ways this guy is practically invincible.

Ye Xiao felt a headache coming on; how could he have run into such a strange thing?

“But you don’t need to worry, Sir Knight,” came the girl’s flippant voice. “Little Holgard’s goal isn’t to be chosen as the royal candidate.”

Little Holgard...

Ye Xiao was somewhat speechless at the title. "Then his purpose is...?"

"I think it's probably best for the person in question to answer this question."

The girl snapped her fingers lightly, and the wardrobe door on the side of the room slowly opened, revealing the Fifth Prince with a flushed face stepping out.
