--- Chapter 125 ---
"Good, you're doing well."
"Keep walking like that, slowly and steadily."
"Kyaa~!" Venelana tripped on the garden and was about to fall, but Huo Yuhao immediately caught her. She was currently rehabilitating her devil blood and overall physical prowess.
Venelana could do this by consuming healing items such as Phoenix's Tear from Phenex Clan or Senzu Bean. However, she decided to do it more naturally with Huo Yuhao's help, which made Huo Yuhao spend more time together with her.
It's a petty move from Venelana because almost every lady on the floating island becomes jealous of her privilege.
Even Huo Yuhao could casually create Phoenix's Tears and heal her instantly. But why would Venelana do that when she could deepen her relationship with him?
Pain is nothing.
Love is eternal.
And Love is war.
Nothing is fair, ladies!
After getting freed by Bael's shackle, Venelana's feelings for Huo Yuhao exploded through the roof and even reached the nine galaxies. She wanted to know more about him.
His favorite foods, hobbies, birthday, most liked lovemaking position-!
'This feeling is still growing...' Venelana felt strong arms enveloping her body. They are warm like the morning sun and gentle enough to make her excited by imagining things.
"Are you okay?" Huo Yuhao's voice was like a song in her ears.
"It's been a day. You could have just slept on the bed, you know?"
Venelana pouted and answered, "No."
"I've had enough rest, and today is perfect for my rehabilitation. Just feel the atmosphere and look at this blue sky."
Huo Yuhao was "honestly." amused by her response because the blue sky in the Underworld is artificial through magic. After all, they are under the world.
Putting the pun aside, Venelana is doing great with her recovery.
Venelana should be able to function healthily in one or two more sessions because his wood and dark element's presence helped her quicken the devil's regenerative ability.
Maybe he should create another breathing technique for Devil Race?
Universal Breathing Technique would definitely work coupled with Spirit Circuits Huo Yuhao has planned for this world. And physically, the devil is no different than a human, with some exceptions like a horn or longer ears.
Of course, there would be unwanted effects and results without proper research.
Not to mention none of the people who got their Martial Soul awakened by him activated their Spirit Circuits yet. It would trigger explosive growth that they might not be able to handle.
Huo Yuhao told Venelana to rest on the stone bench and told her about the Martial Soul, making the devil surprised for a moment. Even after hearing the price for awakening such a power, Venelana casually nodded and allowed Huo Yuhao to do it.
'Pain is nothing!' Venelana thought to herself.
[Do you want to awaken Venalana Bael's Martial Soul?]
[Yes/No]
Huo Yuhao hoped Venelana wouldn't moan like others. He sincerely hoped so.
"Loosen your muscles and mind." He commented beforehand, pressing the Yes button slowly.
"Ahn~!!" Venelana closed her mouth instinctively and rolled her eyes in pleasure. Her entire body shook violently, especially those wide hips.
Something was dripping between Venelana's legs, and her face immediately turned into a blissful expression, which left Huo Yuhao speechless.
Even Huo Yuhao's contracted soul is speechless because Venelana is much more sensitive than others. They don't consider Venelana's Succubus lineage because pain like this is sometimes the same as instant orgasm for this race.
And remember, Venelana is still a virgin.
It might become an addiction for her.
"L-Lord Yuhao~!" Venelana's breathing became huskier, alluring with more sex appeal as her purple eyes gained a love-like pupil.
[Venelana Bael has awakened "Charming Demoness Mask." and "Silver Needles." Martial Souls]
[In addition, Venelana Bael has awakened The Succubus Queen's Blood]
[Potential Scan activated]
[Name: Venelana Gremory]
[Age: 276 years old]
[Potential: SS+]
[Recommended Path: True Succubus Queen, Demonic Mistress of Destruction, Heavenly Seductress, Huo Yuhao's Concubine]
"Lord Yuhao~!!" Venelana jumped into Huo Yuhao's body and hugged him tightly, pressing her lips against his lips.
Huo Yuhao could only smile in defeat because he didn't dislike this situation at all.
'You pervert motherfucker!' The three spirit souls yelled from the Spiritual Sea.
'Yes. Yes, I am.' Huo Yuhao shamelessly responded.
"..." Tian Meng.
"..." Bing Di.
"..." Eluxia.
This boy had been dodging this for a few months, but now he showed his true nature.
'At least deny it, I-Idiot!' Tian Meng roared like a dragon.
Huo Yuhao pushed Venelana to the ground and dominated her mouth, twirling the Succubus's tongue playfully. She arched her back because she would never expect Huo Yuhao to be this good.
Unlike Venelana, Huo Yuhao has plenty of experience in this life or previous ones.
"Haa..." Venelana gasped for air. Her body is aching for something.
Huo Yuhao released Venelana and asked, "Was that your first kiss?"
Venelana bashfully looked away before nodding her head a little. She was embarrassed by her actions.
"L-Lord, you should take responsibility." She covered her mouth adorably.
"I will." Huo Yuhao chuckled in amusement.
"But let's keep it for another day."
"Some people are watching us from afar."
"Eh?" Venelana felt like cold water pouring into her head. She looked around and saw a suspicious bush with two pairs of cat ears, black and white. Their cat tails are also swaying left and right visibly.
Not far away from the bush. Grayfia, Misla, Ingvild, and Serafall watched them with darkened expressions.
There is also Ophis, who stood 5 meters from them, licking her Lollipop with a flat expression.
"Um..." Venelana was speechless. No wonder the mansion was so quiet.
These ladies have been watching her and Huo Yuhao for a while.
Huo Yuhao pulled Venelana from the ground and brushed the dust off her face. After checking her condition for the last time, he discovered Venelana's spirit energy was circulating faster than people in the Douluo Dalu's Universe.
Her body is also releasing this sweet pheromone.
If Huo Yuhao doesn't possess high resistance to poison and Sky Poison Pearl, even he could be agitated by it. Huo Yuhao's mind might be clear, but his body isn't.
Cough!
He faked a cough and awakened everyone from their trances.
"I heard there is a place called Familiar Forest. Where is that place?" He suddenly asked, which made Grayfia instinctively move to his side.
Grayfia used her time manipulation to accelerate herself and said, "I'll escort you there, Yuhao-sama."
"Teleportation Magic would be the most reasonable, but flying there is much faster."
Serafall clicked her tongue because the silver-haired maid was fast when taking her chance. She wanted to become closer to Huo Yuhao as their previous meeting was quite awkward, but she didn't have free time.
The new council is solidifying itself under Huo Yuhao's influence, and her job is to monitor everything.
"Can I go?" Venelana asked excitedly, forgetting her condition.
Huo Yuhao flicked her forehead and replied, "Maybe next time."
"Take a nap and Cultivate diligently."
"Ugh..." Venelana was disappointed. Nonetheless, a happy smile bloomed on her face. After all, she made significant progress with Huo Yuhao in just a day.
"Also, this." Huo Yuhao picked a Spiritual-Type Rune Stone from his inventory. It's the most suitable one for Venelana's Charming Demoness's Mask.
"Ask Misla or Kuroka how to absorb it."
"I can't, Nyaa~!" Kuroka jumped out of the bush.
"Nyaa~!" Koneko added while nodding her head. She blushed hard when realizing her cat-like entrance, mimicking her sister's usual behavior.
"Why so?" Huo Yuhao glanced at the black cat.
Kuroka tilted her head and answered, "I'm tracking Rizevim Lucifer's location right now. Teaching Venelana-san about the Spirit Master's cultivation will hinder my progress."
"That grandpa of Vali is currently in the Underworld."
"Some informant in the Khaos Brigade told me so."
"Oh yeah, those wizards you left alive in the first meeting are actually from the Astaroth Clan's Territory. They have been hiding in the disguise of servants there." She added solemnly.
Grayfia frowned and mumbled, "Astaroth Clan..."
"There was a shady business related to them in the last ten years. I heard the current heir of the Astaroth Clan has visited the human world very often, specifically the Vatican."
"His name is Diodora Astaroth if I remember correctly, having unknown peerage members that even some people couldn't recognize because they always wore robes..."
"Their robes are awfully similar to what the wizard's legion wears in the first meeting." The maid connected the dots. "This is not a coincidence."
Huo Yuhao recalled the fight between Rias Gremory's Peerage and Diodora Astaroth's Peerage in the anime. How could he forget this moment?
"Master, you have received a message from Sister Ying'er." Giana chimed in from the watch on his wrist.
"Sister Ying'er said someone called Diodora has been harassing nuns and holy maidens in the Vatican. That devil also tried to make Asia Argento looks horrible, causing her to get exiled before she helped the pitiful girl."
"Fia, where is Astaroth Clan?" Huo Yuhao asked the maid.
Grayfia smiled faintly and answered, "It's near the Familiar Forest."
"How convenient..." Huo Yuhao laughed a little.
[Ding! you have triggered a mission]
[Name: The Karma Chaos Dragon and The Lucifer]
[Objective: Go to the Familiar Forest and help Tiamat kill Rizevim Lucifer(0/2)]
[Reward: 1 Gold Upgrading Ticket and Tiamat's Affection(based on the performance)]
[Penalty: Tiamat's Death and She Becomes an Undead]
[Do you want to accept the Quest?]
[Yes/No]
'Yes.' Huo Yuhao accepted the Quest immediately.
...
...
ROAR!
A loud dragon roar echoed within the core area of the Familiar Forest. It's a terrifying roar filled with hatred and intent to kill.
"Rizevim Lucifer, how dare you steal my treasure!" A bale blue Western Dragon with celestial blue scales stood at the cave entrance, glaring at the small figure before her.
The small figure is the son of the original Lucifer, Rizevim Lucifer.
"Why, You're mad?" The devil returned casually.
"It's not like you are going to use it anyway."
Tiamat huffed and angrily said, "Then, Die."
