Chapter 112: The Nightmare Express Comes To A Halt

...

'I-I'm a princess! I can't go through with this!'

'But he smells so good...'

'No! I can't allow myself to get caught up in the moment! Must push him away!'

'Maybe it wouldn't hurt to see what he's trying to do... I mean, he's a big jerk, but maybe there is some sweetness buried within his evilness...'

In the midst of a tumultuous battle with herself, Shun Wen failed to notice the two muscular hands pass by her head and reach for the two munchkins off to the side. Grabbing both Li Yan and Xue Lan, Lucifer put them on the seats closest to him, and then without a care for the distressed elven princess, he went back to cultivating.

Leaning his face against his hand while staring out at the rapidly flashing scenery, Lucifer treated the elven girl as if she were invisible.

'T-This jerk!!'

Heaving the biggest harrumph yet, Shun Wen's cheeks blew up like balloons. Turning away from the big evil man, she crossed her arms over her breasts and went back to pouting.

For the rest of the train ride, she refused to say a single word. When the destination was less than a few minutes away, both Li Yan and Xue Lan started to drowsily open their eyes. "Mhmm... Where are we...?" They asked in unison, showing off their lethargic cat faces.

But as if immune to anything adorable, Lucifer looked at them with a neutral expression. Seeing their eyes immediately focus on him as well, he said, "We made it to the Nightmare Express and are currently on our way to a place called the Nightsorrow Empire. Oh, and this craz- nice lady here is the one who funded this trip."

"You jerk! What were you about to say!?"

Suddenly stopping her silent grumbling, Shun Wen shot her head in his direction and hit him on the shoulder with her cotton fists.

"..."

Staring at this sight with a blank expression, Lucifer wondered what sort of gravity god this girl prayed to for her breasts to move in such hypnotizing ways. 'Godhood... Hmm... That is definitely something to look into,' he thought.

......

Already getting ahead of himself on the path of cultivation, Lucifer failed to notice the discontented looks on the faces of his two Pokemon. The Goth Pokemon looked like she was ready to violently rip off the breasts of the unknown elf Lady, whereas the Ghost Pokemon had a cloud of darkness shrouding her eyes.

Afraid that these two would start their villain arcs and steal his limelight, Lucifer did...

'Hmm... What was I going to do again?'

Looking up in confusion, he completely forgot what he was thinking about.

In the end, he decided to let them erm... become acquainted with one another?

While that was happening, he returned back to cultivation-

"Ya know, as an adored citizen of this Empire, I could potentially show you around, Lucifer. But I don't know if I should... Maybe I shouldn't?" Wearing a cheeky grin on her face, she was clearly trying to get revenge for being ignored.

However, when she opened her eyes to gauge his reaction, he was already gone like the wind!

"Lucifer... Are we going into this land of the Dark Elves...?"

Speaking in a low, soft voice, Xue Lan tugged on the back of Lucifer's robes. Clearly not used to being outside of her swamp, she huddled close to him and tried her best to ignore all the looks she was (wasn't) receiving.

"Umu? I don't remember inviting anyone to follow me. But since I sorta indirectly caused this, I guess you can tag along. As for the munchkin midget atop my head..."

"Mine," growled Li Yan, her arms wrapping around his head like one of the monkey stuffed animals with the velcro straps.

"Well, she is not doing so well in the head department..." Shaking his head in exasperation, Lucifer sped up his advance toward the lively city down below. Zoning out the furiously yelling crazy lady from far behind, he ultimately reached the city gates of the Royal City of Nightsorrow.

Guarding the extremely tall, grandiose gates of the city, there stood two guards. Both were around 6 feet in height and had rather ordinary appearances, but their cultivation...

'Early Void Refining Realm...? Middle? Late? Peak??'

Lucifer honestly had no clue just how strong they were. But what he did know was that he would undoubtedly lose the moment he even so much as entertained the idea of taking them on...

Wearing black armor lined with gold stripes, the two guards were square-faced and wore stern expressions. They stood with feathered spears in their hands, staring straight ahead like there was something extremely interesting in that direction.

"Hmm... If I talk to them, another cliche will surely unfold, won't it?"

Murmuring to himself in a low contemplative tone, Lucifer was unable to figure out what he wanted to do before the big tits elf woman came-a frolicking.

"You big evil jerk! Why do you keep on leaving me behind!"

"Because you're loud."

Lucifer's instantaneous response caused Shun Wen's shoulders to slump. Then, with tears bubbling in her emerald-like eyes, she mumbled, "You think I'm loud... and annoying...?" Practically on the verge of tears, she clenched the hem of her dress and stared at her lonely shadow on the ground.

"My love..." Stealing her gaze with softened eyes and a caring voice, Lucifer said, "Of course I think you're loud. As for the annoying part, well, you said it, not me."

Crushing all her hopes in one swift blow, Shun Wen returned to her regular abusive nature and started hitting him again. Although she didn't put in enough strength to actually hurt him, she still wanted him to know that she was very, very... angwy!

'Tsk tsk, a grown woman acting like a child... Well, this is what happens when you think you've met someone who you think is 'playing hard to get'. When in reality, I am playing 'I don't want you, lady'.'

Clicking his tongue a little, Lucifer refocused on the matter at hand. Approaching the guards, he was about to speak up and worm his way through their vigilance. But completely out of his expectations, the moment he and his group came into view, the guards hit the dirt with their fists. Oozing reverence, they shouted, "We greet the 7th Royal Princess of the Nightsorrow Empire!"

"...The 7th Princess..."
