Chapter 19: Forest… Cough Cough

In a room in the forest villa, Aisilis was lying on the only piece of furniture in the room, a sofa.

Her eyes were fixed on the huge crystal screen opposite the sofa.

And Yuren Xing was being displayed on this crystal screen, with Yuren Xing’s voice also coming from the diamond-shaped crystal next to it.

“The matter has been taken care of, Miss.”

A figure appeared in the darkness, kneeling on one knee and speaking to Aisilis.

“Mmm… have all the insiders been dealt with?” Aisilis asked in a lazy voice.

“Yes, the guards at the city gate and the hired idlers have all been dealt with.” A voice as cold as a machine answered Aisilis’s question.

“Were you noticed by anyone else?”

“No, we were very discreet.”

“Very good, you’ve done well.”

“Miss, I know I shouldn’t ask, but…” The black figure behind her seemed a little hesitant, but still voiced her doubts.

“Why go to all this trouble to let Young… Master… go?”

Aisilis seemed to be in a very good mood, her eyes still fixed on the crystal screen, where Yuren Xing was walking leisurely through the forest with Liya.

“I don’t just want Yuren’s body.” Aisilis suddenly said.

“I want all of Yuren~, his soul and his thoughts. Yuren can only think of me. There can only be me in his heart.”

As she spoke, Aisilis raised her left hand, looked at the ring on her ring finger, and asked the figure behind her.

“Is this ring really effective?”

“Yes, a law has been cast on the ring. No matter how far apart, this one on Miss’s hand can sense the other.”

Hearing this answer, a slight smile finally appeared on Aisilis’s face.

“But Miss… aren’t you afraid that the Young Master… won’t come back?” After answering Aisilis’s question, the black figure continued to ask Aisilis.

As soon as she asked this question, the black figure regretted it, because an endless killing intent was surging in front of her.

Faced with such heavy pressure, the black figure could not bear it and knelt on the ground.

“I’m sorry, M-Miss, I…”

“If you hadn’t been taking care of me all these years, you would be a corpse now.”

Looking indifferently at the trembling figure before her, Aisilis said this in a cold tone.

“Yuren will come back, and he will always stay by my side. If you’re asking why… because he can’t leave me.”

Aisilis squatted down, lifted the black figure’s chin with her hand, and slowly raised her face.

What appeared before Aisilis’s eyes was a beautiful face. Red eyes, filled with tears due to fear. A pair of small horns on her head, curved into a spiral, and a long tail behind her. This was a succubus.

“Go and deal with that trash by Yuren’s side. I don’t want to see her with Yuren again. Also, if Yuren gets hurt in the slightest…” Aisilis leaned in to the succubus’s ear and whispered,

“I’ll kill you all.”

With that, Aisilis let go of her hand, walked to the sofa, and continued to watch Yuren Xing on the crystal screen, her eyes filled with love.

“Yuren❤, it’s okay… you’ll be back soon. You’ll come back to my side on your own~ Until then, I have to endure…”

While Aisilis was talking to herself to Yuren Xing on the screen, the succubus girl behind her stood up, her body trembling.

Looking at Aisilis’s back, a blush appeared on her face. Her eyes filled with charm, and she said in a barely audible voice:

“Yes… my love.”

“Ah! So annoying!”

Walking behind Liya, I grabbed my hair and complained.

“What are you annoyed about, perverted ero-maniac?” Liya continued to walk, asking without turning her head.

“Of course it’s Aisilis. I haven’t seen her in a few years, and I don’t know why her personality has changed so much. Thinking back to when we were little, she was so cute. Although she’s very beautiful now too.”

I spoke Aisilis’s ‘bad words’ with a heavy heart.

“I see… so this is what they call ‘a girl changes eighteen times between childhood and womanhood’.”

As if I suddenly understood something, I tapped my right hand into my left palm in front of my chest.

And Liya turned around and looked at me speechlessly.

“I don’t know why Lady Aisilis would like a pervert like you.”

“Hey… even if I’m a pervert, I have my own merits. Polish your eyes and look at other people’s merits.”

“You’re not even going to deny the ‘pervert’ part… you really are a complete pervert. As a pervert, you should just kneel on the ground and breathe through your mouth, crawling on the ground every day, wagging your tail and begging for pity. Maybe this young lady will let you lick her feet if she’s in a good mood! You perverted foot fetishist.”

Liya said excitedly, her expression becoming more and more arrogant.

“…What do you even think I am? And don’t just add settings to me.”

I fiercely refuted Liya.

But I didn’t expect Liya to have a hidden queen and sharp-tongued attribute.

Damn it, she’s just a loli, yet she’s so arrogant…

“Sigh!”

Suddenly sighing, Liya looked at me with disappointment and said,

“Why did I just go and save a foot-fetish perverted M ero-maniac like you!”

“Eh!” I pretended to be surprised, bantering with Liya.

“Isn’t it because you covet my beauty?”

Smack!!!

“Sorry. My hand slipped.”

“There’s not a hint of apology in your tone!!!”

I sat with Liya in front of the fire, feeling the warmth it brought.

I stared at the fire, listening to the wind occasionally blowing through the forest, making a “rustle” “rustle” sound, enjoying a moment of peace.

My tense nerves for many days finally relaxed.

It would be even more perfect if I didn’t feel a throbbing pain in my face.

Speaking of which, I think I’ve been slapped by Liya 4 times already. And every time, it was because of my own foolishness.

Do I really have masochistic tendencies? I thought in horror… no… it’s definitely not my problem. Being slapped and trampled on by a beautiful girl… there’s no pleasure in it at all………… actually… on second thought… it’s quite exciting… hehehe…

“Ew… your smile is so disgusting. You dead pervert, foot fetishist, stay away from me…”

Liya looked at me with a disgusted expression.

“Ahem… um…”

The witty me started to change the subject for the sake of my image.

“I’ve always wanted to ask… but never had the chance. Liya, about your family…”

Ahhhhhhh, what have I done? This is a minefield… a minefield…

Liya hugged her knees, her head buried between her arms.

“They’re all dead.”

“…Sorry.”

I looked at Liya before me with apology. Doesn’t this make me look like a shameless b*tch?

But I’m in too deep now…

“Then, does Liya know who did it?”

“…”

Faced with this question, Liya fell into silence, and only after a long time did she speak.

“It was my brother.”

“Eh? Brother, as in…”

“It was my brother, Bailey Aileron.”

“Oh!” I let out a gasp of surprise.

I didn’t expect the person who killed Liya’s entire family to be her own brother. This is a real ruthless person…

I thought of the handsome blonde man who completed the speech for Aisilis at the Swordsman Grand Ceremony…

“Why would he do that? Your parents are his parents too.”

“I don’t know… I don’t know.”

Liya began to choke up. I was a little flustered by this scene. I wanted to comfort Liya but didn’t know what to say…

“Er… um… if you don’t mind… you can borrow my shoulder…”

I learned this from some TV drama from my previous life, a way for the male protagonist to comfort a crying female protagonist. I have to say, these words really test one’s sense of shame.

Fortunately, my skin is thick enough now, and there’s no one around… phew, it’s great to be in the forest. It feels… a little ambiguous…

“Pfft…”

Liya suddenly burst out laughing.

“You’re… just a pervert.”

With that, Liya leaned over, pressed close to me, and rested her head on my shoulder…

Bang!!

The sofa, along with the crystal screen, was smashed directly into the wall. A corner of the screen that was not shattered still showed Liya’s smiling face.

Aisilis punched Liya’s smiling face directly. With a loud bang, the entire wall caved in completely.

Aisilis looked at the caved-in wall with a twisted expression…

“That b*tch… how dare she… how dare she… take my Yuren… I’m going to kill her! I’m going to kill her!”

“Yuren… why… why did you say such things? Why did you let her lean on you…”

As she spoke, tears flowed down Aisilis’s face. She covered her face with her hands, and tears dripped from between her fingers…

“It’s all that woman’s fault… it’s all that woman’s… hehe, hehehe… only by getting rid of that woman, the one by Yuren’s side will be me… the one leaning on Yuren… will be me…”

Aisilis lowered her hands… lifted her head, her eyes turning as red as ruby gems…

“I will get rid of all the b*tches who get close to Yuren.”
