Chapter 4 - Pitiful, Weak, and Helpless

Wu Chen looked at Litia, still struggling on his lap, and couldn't help but swallow nervously as cold sweat dripped down his forehead.

This was the notorious final boss witch, known across both the demon world and the human realm. Just mentioning her name was enough to make children stop crying.

Ruthless and cold-hearted, she could destroy cities without human lords or goddesses in charge with a mere wave of her hand. She was nearly a synonym for terror.

Yet, he had just spanked her!

If she were a game character, it would be one thing, but she was a real, living person!

Wife… no, a tiger's butt shouldn't be touched, and a witch's butt is even more off-limits!

Realizing this, Wu Chen's hand trembled slightly.

"Smack!"

Another sharp sound of spanking.

Since he was already in trouble, he might as well give it another go to calm his nerves.

After a period of anxiety, Wu Chen's mindset shifted. Whether he spanked once or a hundred times, the outcome would still be angering one of the world's strongest final boss characters. So he might as well enjoy it a bit more.

"Smack!"

"If I let you go now, will you forgive me?"

Wu Chen asked cautiously.

"I'll make your death as painful as possible."

Litia's voice brimmed with rage.

"Since whether I let you go or not, I'm going to die anyway, why not enjoy it a bit before I do?"

Wu Chen countered.

After being invincible for so long, had these witches' brains gone a bit funny?

Even if lying, shouldn't she say something like, "If you let me go now, I'll overlook it"?

"I will kill you! I swear I'll kill you!"

"Even my mother never spanked my butt!"

Litia struggled violently, letting out thunderous roars, her eyes flashing with a rare hint of panic.

In thousands of years, this was the first time she experienced what "panic" felt like.

"Wait, witches have mothers?"

Wu Chen asked in surprise.

"Of course, the evil god who created the power of the witches is our common mother…"

Huh? A mother? Can she be married too?

Wu Chen's gamer instincts kicked in.

Evil god—Wu Chen had heard of this character in the game.

In mythological stories, the creator god gave birth to the world and goddesses, and the goddesses created humanity.

Similarly, the evil god had a role similar to the creator god in giving birth to the demon race and the witches.

However, these were just background stories or tales from NPCs in the game. Wu Chen had never seen the creator god or evil god in the game, despite reaching the end.

"If the mother goddess found out you were desecrating her daughter like this, she would be extremely furious. You're dead meat!"

Litia's expression turned extremely fierce.

"Thousands of years ago, several powerful witches tried to usurp the mother goddess's powers, but their proud attacks couldn't harm her at all!"

As Litia spoke, her pupils suddenly contracted sharply.

Wait! Couldn't inflict any damage?

This stranger's abilities were strikingly similar to those of the evil god!

Such immense witch power should be able to harm anyone, but it couldn't touch him. Apart from the evil god, Litia couldn't think of anyone else who could achieve this.

She had heard that the evil god had manifested thousands of avatars in the demon world and the human realm. Could this person be one of those avatars?

Is he actually an avatar of the evil god walking on the earth?

But isn't the mother goddess usually depicted as a witch?

The one who suddenly appeared and is now spanking her is clearly a human male!

"Since we're family, why should I fear the Evil God?"

Wu Chen said with a faint smile.

Witches are daughters of the evil god, and I'm the husband of the witches. So the evil god is like my mother-in-law. We're all family. No need to be afraid.

Litia: He said he and the Evil God are family! I knew he had some connection to the Evil God!

Realizing this, Litia's struggles became much less vigorous; she no longer dared to make any rash moves.

Could it be that when he mentioned marriage, it was on the mother goddess's command?

On the other hand, Wu Chen appeared calm on the surface but was actually panicking inside.

Due to the system's earlier inexplicable response, he had finally accessed the game interface, revealing his marriage status with the witches.

Litia (Wife):

[Friendly Fire immunity: Cannot inflict any damage on husband.]

[Unique Skill · Shared Senses: Optional to activate, allows sharing of senses with the designated member.]

[Favorability Level: Witches have strong resistance to mental hypnosis, but when favorability is maxed, they may occasionally enter a love-struck mode.]

All the witches retained these three statuses, but other attributes and skill-sharing items were grayed out and inactive.

[Attribute Sharing (Inactive): Share some of the wife's attribute panel and skills (Insufficient magic power, cannot be activated at the moment. Requires the core energy of the witch. Please subdue the witch to repair the incomplete marriage contract.)]

This was the true reason for Wu Chen's anxiety.

Due to the marriage status, no matter how powerful the witch, she couldn't inflict any damage on him.

But even the weakest minions under the witches could instantly kill him, a pitiful, weak, and helpless Earthling with a combat power of only five chickens.

This weakness must not be discovered by the witches before he repairs any of their attribute-sharing statuses! Otherwise, he would be done for!

However, to repair the incomplete attribute sharing, he must completely subdue a witch and gain ownership of her core power source.

This left Wu Chen in a strange paradoxical situation.

"I need to reactivate my marriage with the witches."

"Then go defeat the witches."

"But the witches are all extremely strong. Without the marriage bonus, how can I defeat them?"

"Then marry the witches to gain the marriage bonus!"

"But if I can't defeat them, how can I marry them?"

"Then go defeat them!"
