Livyre, both surprised and curious, exclaimed, "No, please, rise quickly. There's no need for this. Who are you people, after all?"
The three enchanting ladies stood up. The one with a noble and alluring demeanor smiled and said, "If you want to know who we are, you can inquire directly with our master."
She suddenly reached out and pulled forward a warrior clad entirely in a deep, pitch-black armor, his face concealed by a helmet.
In fact, the astute Livyre, along with Olyna and Phoebia, had already been discreetly observing this person. Although he stood among a dozen black-armored warriors, his armor's style differed, and its color was an ineffable, profound darkness, lacking the compelling aura of bloodlust exuded by the others.
He was unquestionably a distinctive presence.
As the black-armored warrior was pulled forward, a burst of laughter emanated, reaching Livyre's ears. She felt a profound familiarity, her delicate body trembling with excitement. She exclaimed, "Is it you?"
The black-armored warrior ceased his laughter, raised his hand, and removed the helmet, revealing the countenance belonging to the unparalleled and greatest archmage - Lai Wu.
The moment Livyre saw me, she immediately rushed into my embrace, weeping, "Wu, where have you been these past ten days? I was so worried. You are so heartless, abandoning me all alone."
Even though we had pledged our hearts to each other, her outpouring of emotions in such a tender and affectionate manner was unprecedented. I tightly embraced this beauty resembling a rain-drenched pear blossom, kissing her forehead, saying, "I'm sorry, Xiaoya, for making you worry. I won't do it again in the future."
The proud and beautiful Princess Olyna approached, saying, "Wu Lai, you have not only destroyed Aelxenc City and disrupted the palace, but also turned Livyre into this state. If not for Livyre's sake, I would not spare you."
The silent and ice-cold beauty, emanating a frigid aura, suddenly positioned herself in front of Olyna. In a chilly tone, she declared, "If you dare to insult my lord again, regardless of your status, I, Shanon, will cast you into the purgatory of the demonic realm."
Her icy voice and the chilling murderous intent made Olyna's heart tremble. She could sense that Shanon, the frigid beauty, was not joking. A thick, palpable killing intent enveloped her, leaving her shocked and terrified, having never experienced such a situation.
My lazy voice rang out, "Xiaonu, forget it, don't dwell on it."
Shanon immediately acknowledged with a "yes," flashing back to my side. Since becoming my woman, she was extremely obedient and attentive, claiming even a princess to be her attendant, let alone her.
Such an externally cold yet internally passionate devoted lady.
Princess Olyna perceived the loyalty and affection this frigid yet superb beauty held for me, feeling profoundly shaken. Just now, she had been enveloped in Shanon's killing intent. This extremely beautiful and powerful lady, being a servant to Wu Lai, astonished her. How could such a stunning and powerful woman consider herself a servant to Wu Lai?
Livyre, consoled and relieved, peeked out from my embrace, casting a puzzled gaze at the group of them.
I gently smiled, saying, "Ladies, please introduce yourselves."
The three women spoke sweetly, "Princess Aya Night, the first princess of the Demon Realm. The 'Dawn Angel' Yuyi and the 'Dark Dragon Cavalry' airborne warrior, Shanon, greet the three of you."
Demon Realm? Angels? Dragon Cavalry?
Although the three women did not fully comprehend, they promptly returned the courtesy. Livyre, observing the three women looking at me affectionately, felt a tinge of jealousy.
Given proper accommodations for the dragon cavalry, I, along with the six beautiful ladies, went to visit King Watte. I narrated the detailed account of our journey to the Demon Realm over the past ten days. King Watte, Park, and the three princesses were dumbfounded.
With this, they finally understood the identities of Princess Aya and her companions. Internally, they marveled. Livyre, with a slightly resentful look, stared at me, her eyes filled with envy.
Park whispered to me, "Junior brother, you're quite extraordinary. You've actually won the hearts of both the Demon Realm princess and the 'Radiant Angel.' It's truly envy-inducing. Hey, any special techniques? Teach your senior brother."
This guy with unfounded fantasies. I genuinely obtained Princess Aya and the others with my true abilities. What use would I have for tricks?
Princess Olyna curiously asked, "Mr. Wu Lai, could you let me see that Hell Black Dragon? Since it is your summoned beast, it should be possible for me to take a look, right?"
I smiled and said, "No problem, Princess. If you want to see, of course, you can."
With a flash of black light, a dry and thin little black snake appeared on the table, curiously crawling left and right.
Olyna and the others stared blankly, saying, "Is this the terrifying Hell Black Dragon?"
I chuckled, saying, "Hey, lazy dragon, show everyone your true appearance."
The little black snake nodded, and its body floated into the air. With a dark light flash, a massive black dragon, tens of meters long, appeared in the sky. All the animals in Aelxenc City, both small and fierce magical beasts, cowered in the shadow at this moment.
This was the might of the king of beasts.
Seeing everyone captivated by the majestic appearance of the lazy dragon, I felt extremely satisfied. After a few triumphant laughs, I retrieved the lazy dragon.
King Watte, with a beaming smile, said to me, "Wu Lai, you've truly become god-like. However, let me make one thing clear. When you went to the Demon Realm, you destroyed one-third of my palace. This repair cost... "
Oops, I actually forgot about this matter. The cunning King Watte was as shrewd as Princess Lucifer; he would not let me off easily. If I had known, I should have taken a few treasures from Lucifer's treasury to offset the debt. Now it was too late to regret.
At this moment, King Watte's smile resembled a cunning fox as he said, "You promised to represent our country in the 'Inter-tribal Martial Arts and Magic Grand Tournament.' If you win the championship prize, the 'Crystal Heart,' it can offset your debt for damaging Aelxenc City. So, how do we settle this debt?"
"This," I was in a dilemma, and just when I felt helpless, Princess Aya extended a jade-like hand, saying, "Your Majesty, please consider whether this can offset my lord's debt."
Everyone saw that in her rosy hand lay a small teardrop-shaped crystal. Princess Phoebia exclaimed in surprise, "Ah, isn't this the 'Elf's Tear'? This is a treasure of the Elven race. How did it end up in Princess Aya
