Chapter 113: The 7th Princess

......

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

Slowly turning his head in the direction of the elf woman with a smug look on her face, Lucifer hoped this was all just a bad dream.

But unfortunately for him...

"Fufufu! Do you finally realize my greatness, Lucifer!?"

Standing with her hands to her hips and her nose pointing to the sky, Shun Wen's slightly glum and frustrated mood did a complete 180!

'Fuck me sideways... This is why I hate Xianxia...'

Realizing that he had a long night ahead of him, Lucifer bunkered in and let the cliches play out one after the other. Eventually, he found himself in a guest room of the Nightsorrow Empire's Royal Castle, and he had somehow been scheduled to meet Shun Wen's father when True Dawn came to an end...

He didn't need anyone to tell him where this was headed, and he sure a hell wasn't a fan!

'Kill me now... Why couldn't I have just found a Japanese host? Maybe then my fan base would be more lenient on the degeneracy of the human species...'

'Not another shitty harem, Xianxia... I just want to be the main villain... killing things and looting all day... Is that too much to ask...?'

Mumbling in woes and regrets, Lucifer bled himself to sleep, hoping that he would never wake up again.

However, upon feeling a goth girl snuggled around his head and two cow fuckers latched onto both his arms, he knew that no one would ever answer his wishes...

...

The True Dawn came to an end, and a 36-hour long period of utter darkness arrived for the Nightmare Realm.

For one unfortunate villainous soul, he was forced to endure what it felt like to be surrounded by maidens and a... daughter?

Either fucking way, Lucifer just wanted to kill himself and escape the berating of his readers!

However, he knew that such a luxury would never be given to someone like him. So, with bleeding lips, he leaned up on his bed and flung the hoes off his body!

"Get the f*ck off of me, you sweaty bit*hes!!"

BANG! BANG!

Watching both Xue Lan and Li Yan fly into a wall and face-plant it, Lucifer scowled in their direction. But for some reason, his demeaning voice and that annoyed look on his face made electrical currents spread throughout their bodies when they saw it.

"These crazy b*tches..." Not feeling like dealing with crazy today, Lucifer skedaddled straight outta there, leaving the goth midget as a hat accessory on his head.

He was about to breakthrough to the Golden Core Realm, and there was no way in hell he would get caught up in crazy when he was so close!

"W-Wait, Lucifer...!"

"So you are my daughter's friend...?"

"Who? Her?" Pointing toward the busty, blonde elf on his right thigh, Lucifer blurted out, "Hell no! This chick is a damn rando! She appeared less than a few episodes ago, and now she expects me to immediately fall in lov-"

SHING!

Feeling the daunting intent of death looming over him, Lucifer suddenly stopped his words, changed his expression, and enthusiastically said, "Who? This pretty, young miss? Of course we are friends! Best buddies in fact!"

The promise of death stopping its advance, instead being replaced with a silent meandering that Lucifer didn't like one single bit.

"Lucifer...! You really think we're best buddies!? But we just met... Don't you think that's a tad bit forward of you...?"

Blushing and cupping her cheeks, Shun Wen wiggled in place, seemingly in her own little world.

"..."

Lucifer was becoming just about sick and tired of all these damn crazy b*tches! But in the end, he had no other choice but to say, "O-Of course... Even though we only met a few hours ago, I feel that our connection is quite deep-"

SHING!

Feeling that same promise of death, Lucifer changed his tune and said, "But not that deep! There is still plenty of room for the connection to grow and blossom-!"

SHING!

"Just f*cking kidding! There is no room for growth! We are good right where we are! Best buddies for life!"

"Buddies for life..." Slightly depressed and clearly not happy over these words, Shun Wen's pointy ears bent down at an angle.

SHING!

'What the fuck do you want from me, old dude!? Like goddamn!! I tell her off, and you aren't satisfied! I tell her we can become closer or are closer, and you still aren't f*cking satisfied!! What in the hell do you want from me!?'

If the Emperor's strength weren't beyond the Void Refining Realm, then Lucifer swears that he would already be wringing the damn bastard by his neck!

However, considering that he would most definitely get one shot in this situation, he restrained his urges and grated his teeth. Then, with a calculated placement of his hand on Shun Wen's shoulder, he said, "Who truly knows what the future holds for us? So many unknowns, and no one truly knows what will happen next."

Keeping his words as f*cking ambiguous as possible, Lucifer briefly looked at the Emperor and saw him at a clear interpass within his mind. He most definitely still wanted to kill him, but that would surely make his daughter quite unsatisfied with him, so that was off the table. And he couldn't exactly allow the 'wolf' to live either.

After all, he had to keep his daughter away from all vicious men, no matter the cost.

In the end, the Emperor couldn't decide what to do, so he put his index finger and thumb up to his forehead and started to rub it. Then, with a flat voice, he said, "If you are 'acquaintances' with my daughter, then you are free to stay inside the side guest house of the castle, 'away' from my daughter's bedroom.

I assume this is fine with you," he asked with a face scarier than the seven layers of hell.

"But fathe-"
