Chapter 348



348 The Demon’s Visit

Selma Payne’s POV:

On a cool afternoon, I was leaning on Maxine’s back, drowsy as I faced the flowers.

Maxine had grown quite a bit. Although she had yet to grow into an awe-inspiring big wolf, her strong body was enough to intimidate people.

She was a lively and active girl, and the tiring daily training couldn’t completely exhaust her excessive experience. Since I returned because of my pregnancy, she called herself my guard, always guarding me against anyone approaching.

“Those who don’t know would think that this is your child,” I once joked.

“Of course he’s my child,” she replied confidently. “You and I are the same person. Have you forgotten?”

Alright, she was right.

There were official matters in the military camp, so Aldrich had no choice but to leave my side temporarily. To be honest, I hoped he could leave for a while. Although it was a bit of a sc*mbag to say that, I really couldn’t stand his constant clingy attitude.

“I want to drink mango juice,” I told Maxine. “Add half a spoon of honey and three ice cubes.”

“No ice,” Maxine rejected me without hesitation. “Besides, the servants are not far away. Why don’t you ask them for it?”

I acted coquettishly. “I want to drink what you bring. Please, it’s super cool for a majestic wolf to carry a tray for you, okay?!”

Maxine loved being flattered, and after a short while, she felt like she was floating from my flattery. “Y-you think so? Alright then, since you’re so sincere in begging me, I’ll reluctantly make a trip there… However, ice is out of the question. Flattering me won’t work. Tracy said that you can’t consume raw or cold food, and I don’t want to be strangled to death by Aldrich.”

I smiled as I watched her leave. I used the New Flow to create an enclosed space around me. Then, my expression turned cold as I said in a deep voice, “Come out, demon.”

“Hehe.”

A feminine, alluring laugh rang out in my ears. I shivered and turned my hand to attack, but I grabbed nothing. The demon had already materialized in front of me.

The fishy smell on Leviathan’s body was still so strong that I, sensitive to smell because of my pregnancy, almost vomited.

My pale face made Leviathan laugh. She pretended to be sad and said, “Why do you despise me so much every time? I won’t be coming next time if that’s the case.”

“That’s for the best,” I said coldly. “If you have something to say, say it. What’s your purpose in sending your projection here?”

Yes, Leviathan, standing in front of me, was still just a projection.

“I heard that you’re going to have a baby soon. I’m here to congratulate you.” Leviathan stared at my protruding belly and said happily, “This is the descendant of a fallen goddess. It’s impossible. I’m here to see a miracle.”

“Can you leave now that you’re done?”

“Don’t be so cold. Don’t werewolves have any manners?”

“Werewolves don’t welcome evil guests like you.”

“Alright,” she said. Leviathan pouted. To be honest, seeing an old lady who was tens of thousands of years old in a young girl’s leather suit was disgusting. “But I also brought you a gift. Don’t you want it at all?”

I immediately became alert. What normal things could a demon have brought?

New Flow silently wrapped Leviathan’s projection in its arms, but the latter did not care and chuckled as if she did not notice it. “I heard you got a few beautiful capes from the Rocky Mountains. I like pretty accessories, too. Can I look at them?”

I stared at her coldly and didn’t reply.

“Alright, you’re so petty. This is my gift to you, but it’s an antique. Do you like it?” Leviathan mumbled as she took a stone slab from her chest and threw it on the ground. It doesn’t matter if you don’t like it. I’ll give it to you anyway.”

I was on guard and didn’t touch the slate. The projection of Leviathan started to crack.

“Time’s up. Please bring me an even more interesting play the next time we meet!”

She waved at me and laughed evilly before she disappeared.

After making sure she had left, I immediately relaxed my back, which was covered in a cold sweat. I wrapped the stone slab on the grass with New Flow and asked my parents and the grandmasters to come.

Maxine returned with mango juice and some other snacks. When she saw that I was drenched in a cold sweat, she immediately ignored the tray on her back and ran to my side. She anxiously asked, “How are you, Selma? Are you feeling uncomfortable? Does your stomach hurt? Are you going to give birth?”

I patted her head to comfort her. “No, it’s just that Leviathan dropped by just now. I’m a little tense.”

“Leviathan?” Maxine jumped up and immediately understood why I had asked her to get the juice. “You shouldn’t have faced her alone! This is too dangerous!”

“It’s just a projection. It won’t cause any harm. Besides, against a supreme demon, there’s no difference whether we have one more or one less person.”

I leaned on her tiredly and observed the stone slab wrapped in layers of New Flow.

I kept feeling like I’d seen this thing somewhere before. After thinking about it carefully, I realized that this was the ancient stone slab I found at Mullwica’s house. The thirteen flower patterns on it were the same as the uncomfortable pattern in the center!
