Chapter 28: For a Happy Sexual Life in the Future.
Boom! Boom! Boom!!!
The power of the current explosions far surpassed anything before!
When Rest saw that Satan really seemed to be going all out, he panicked and hurriedly reconnected their mental link, urgently pleading:
“Fuck! Satan!!! We agreed on faking it! Are you actually fighting for real?!!”
Rest instantly covered his entire body with dense black dragon scales to withstand the explosive impact. At the same time, he roared through magic power in desperation:
“Stop stop stop! Don’t rush to judge me yet! Let me finish explaining!!”
Satan’s attacks slowed for a split second. His terrifying mental voice came again, ice-cold and filled with authority:
“Speak! I’ll give you three sentences. If you can’t explain clearly, the Demon King City will need a new ruler today!”
Rest quickly seized this lifeline and explained rapidly.
“The key isn’t what she looks like right now! It’s that the demon core I gave her is causing a violent rejection reaction inside her body. Earlier, when I… uh… kissed her, I tried to suck out that rejecting force. But the instinctive power that erupted from her body ended up sealing my magic power!”
“What?!” The next black flame orb Satan had been condensing instantly dissipated in his palm. Inside the black robe, his face was filled with shock as he stared at Rest. The rage in his heart was instantly replaced by enormous doubt and a faint trace of worry.
A power capable of sealing a Demon King-level demon was definitely not something an ordinary human or young dragon could achieve.
“Magic power seal?! How is that possible… Unless those bastards from the Heavenly Realm tampered with her. Only their holy power could create such a forced sacred seal. Your wife—what exactly was she before?!” Satan sharply caught the crucial point and asked Rest.
“She was a priest. Why?”
“As expected!” Satan’s heart sank. “The holy light power remaining in her body is too pure. You can’t draw it out with your crude ‘sucking’ method. Forcibly extracting it will only hurt her. You must go to human territory and find the source before you have any chance of breaking the seal.”
As an equally experienced powerhouse, Satan immediately pointed out the key issue.
“Also. You need to expel that thing from your own body as soon as possible.”
“I know. Once I find a safe place, I can slowly release and dissolve it myself. But the core problem is still inside her.”
Satan fell silent. He no longer worried about this thick-skinned guy who wouldn’t die easily. Instead, he felt a deeper concern.
The Heavenly Realm forces, who had always stood high above and disdained directly interfering in the human world, had secretly done such deep tampering to a human priest? What did this imply?
If this was a new move from the Heavenly Realm, then the Demon Realm also needed to start preparing in advance.
The two brothers’ outwardly thrilling “battle” continued for a long time. A huge deep pit was deliberately blasted out by Satan, smoke and dust filling the air and completely blocking all prying eyes.
Everything was still proceeding according to Rest’s original “getting beaten miserably” script. However, at this moment, both brothers’ moods were extremely complicated, far from the joking attitude they had at the beginning.
“Tsk, I can’t believe you came up with this! Making me beat you up this badly just so that little guy can see you suffer? Where’s the ‘glory’ in this?! It’s simply humiliating!”
While mentally mocking him, Satan continued diligently digging the pit with black flames.
“Hey! Isn’t this all for our future ‘sex’ life?!” Rest shamelessly replied. “I don’t want our first child in the future to die because of this damn thing left inside their mother. This risk must be nipped in the bud right now.”
Satan was stunned for a moment, then understood the deep worry his brother had been hiding. The dissatisfaction in his heart eased a little, and his mental voice softened:
“…True. You actually think quite far ahead.”
Looking at Rest struggling to hold on inside the deep pit, he couldn’t help but add another sarcastic remark through the link: “But this isn’t some romantic honeymoon at all. You’re clearly just taking your wife to get treatment! Seriously…”
Satan’s feelings were very complicated, because he also understood Rest’s situation.
Of course he could charge into human territory in his true form, but that would inevitably cause panic and a siege. After thinking it over again and again, this seemed to be the only feasible plan.
Satan arrived at the bottom of the deliberately blasted deep pit. Above, the thick smoke and dust acted like a natural curtain, completely isolating everyone’s line of sight and ensuring no one could peek at the secret at the bottom.
From the wide sleeve of his black robe, Satan carefully took out a small crystal bottle emitting a faint, eerie blue glow. Inside was a viscous liquid that looked like congealed blood.
“Take it,” Satan’s voice was low and serious as he handed the strange potion to Rest. “Swallow it. This medicine will quickly put all your bodily functions into an extremely realistic state of suspended animation. The effect will wear off over time.”
Rest took the ice-cold bottle without any hesitation. He pulled out the stopper, tilted his head back, and drank the viscous, bitter liquid in one gulp. The moment the potion entered his throat, an indescribable sensation of freezing cold and burning erupted at the same time.
Rest let out a muffled groan. His body tensed violently as the intense reaction swept through him. After the medicine took effect, a strange feeling madly tore at his nerves.
His vision began to blur and spin rapidly, and a buzzing sound rang in his ears.
The buzzing grew louder. Even Satan’s voice became indistinct in the noise. His consciousness slowly drifted away, but he had already arranged everything.
At this moment, inside the simple bathroom compartment of the small hut.
Rose laboriously peeled off her soaked, mud-stained coarse clothes. Her small body exposed to the slightly cool air made her involuntarily shrink.
She tentatively dipped her hand into the prepared wooden tub. The icy touch on her fingertips surprisingly brought her a strange sense of comfort and longing.
This dragon body seemed to instinctively reject warmth and prefer cold.
She picked up a rough piece of soap and scrubbed every inch of her skin carefully, almost forcefully, as if trying to wash away all the filth and fear associated with the demon domain.
After cleaning, she took a deep breath and slowly lowered her petite body into the bucket of ice-cold clear water.
The chilly water enveloped her entire body. She lowered her head and looked at the blurry reflection on the water’s surface.
Although Rest had hidden the wings on her back and the silver-scaled tail, the fine silver scales faintly visible on her slender arms, shoulder blades, and chest still shimmered with faint light in the dim surroundings.
She reached out with her fingers, a complicated feeling in her heart, and gently touched a scale on her arm. The icy sensation carried a subtle tingling itch like an electric current.
These scales were real, inseparable parts of her flesh and blood. After looking at them, Rose buried her face in her cold palms and let out a long, almost sobbing sigh.
If only she could freely retract these scales and even those dragon horns like Rest could.
How could she possibly appear in front of her familiar comrades, in human cities, or under human gazes with this half-human, half-dragon appearance?
Depressed, she curled herself up even tighter, sinking her whole body into the water until only her nose and mouth remained above the surface. She gloomily blew out a string of bubbles with a “glub glub” sound.
Now staying together with two dangerous demons in the same house, Rose felt like she must have gone crazy. In the past, just thinking about it would have given this priest goosebumps all over.
The cold water gradually calmed her chaotic thoughts. One idea became increasingly clear:
Since turning back into a human was already hopeless, that didn’t mean she had to remain a weak little dragon hatchling at anyone’s mercy. She had to learn to control this power, just like those high-ranking demons who lurked among humans, and master the art of perfectly hiding herself.
The first step was to completely conceal these eye-catching scales.
Once she mastered this power, she would definitely leave this place that made her feel uncomfortable.
