The darkness of the sky dispersed.

The sanguine moon revealed itself once again.

Lilulu suddenly awoke from her slumber.

As if sensing something, she abruptly raised her head, looking towards the deeper, darker part of the forest.

There, minute motions rustled the foliage.

A woman, stepping silently in high heels, emerged from the shadows.

Her tall figure, tense and curving calves, and the seductive sway of her hips.

The voluptuousness of her body was enticing enough, a mere glimpse enough to steal away all attention.

She wore a flat, wide-brimmed black hat, a purple folded fan swaying against her fair breasts.

"Lady Lilulu, the Creator God hasn't been killed yet, has he~ Demon City had another black rain today!"

Lilulu got up from the ground, even though she was much shorter than the woman in front of her, her proud demeanor was no less.

"Lilith, my business doesn't require your comments or advice."

"No, no. How can I overstep my bounds with the First Demon Lord? I'm just a bit anxious~”

“I just wanted to remind you to speed things up a bit… nothing more than that.”

Lilith explained with a smile.

Lilulu clearly didn't appreciate Lilith's seductive antics, reminding her of a snake in mating season.

Whom is she trying to seduce? There isn't a man here… well, sleeping ones don’t count.

“I have my own plans, go back, Lilith.” Lilulu said coldly. She just wanted to get rid of this woman as quickly as possible.

But Lilith was not so easy to dismiss.

She craned her neck, looking past Lilulu.

The man sleeping next to the fire made her pupils dilate.

"Is that… the Creator God?”

She rested the fan handle against her lips, her eyes crinkled in a smile as she looked at Luo Ning.

“Truly no magical fluctuation… It seems the Creator God is a common man who doesn't know magic, this news is certainly accurate…”

“Lady Lilulu, killing such a man would take only a moment... Shall I do it for you?”

Lilulu detected the killing intent emanating from Lilith.

In the hands of Lilulu, a black scythe silently materialized.

Lilith, who was about to take a step forward, was immediately repelled by the scythe.

The edge of the Laevatain exuded a black light, teeming with enormous magical power.

This is the Artifact of a Demon Lord, and not even Lilith could withstand a blow from it.

"Why are you being so rash, Lady Lilulu... Didn't we all agree? The Seven Pillars of the Demon Lords collect all resources, summon the Creator God, kill him, and lift the curse…”

“You wouldn't be going back on your word, would you?" Lilith raised her voice, emphasizing.

"I have my own plans. Luo Ning... he has a more important value.”

“Luo Ning...? Oh~ Is that the name of the Creator God? What a good name… It’s a shame, he's a traitor~”

“Though I’m unsure what ‘value’ you’re referring to, I believe there is no value higher than lifting the curse... Don’t forget whose actions initially caused this curse.”

Lilulu’s gaze remained calm as she gazed at Lilith, the seductive smile on her face only deepening.

“If Luo Ning dies, the curse may not necessarily be lifted. After all, that's just our speculation. Killing the most important Creator God now is too reckless, we need a more detailed judgment.”

“I will bring him back to Demon City. After that, we will discuss the outcome at the Demon Lord's Great Hall.”

“Oh~?” Lilith pondered for a moment and then questioned

“Since you’re taking him back, why not directly use your transportation magic? Surely you're not planning to walk back to Demon City, Lady Lilulu…""My magic on him..." Lilulu broke off without finishing her sentence, then suddenly changed the topic.

"Go back, Lilith. If you have any doubts about my decision, we can settle it with a fight."

With that, the scythe in Lilulu's hand was now positioned in front of Lilith's neck.

The sharp blade could effortlessly tear the favourite skin of the succubus.

Lilith's airy expression became serious, she swallowed hard with difficulty, feeling a chill down her spine.

"I-I understand... I'll retreat now."

"Lilulu is as impulsive as before..." she laughed lightly, trying to stretch the corners of her mouth into a smile, masking her fear of the artifact.

Lilulu's bloody eyes coldly observed her, only putting away the weapon when she determined her hostility had dissipated.

The moment the scythe was withdrawn, Lilith's body turned into a wisp of purple smoke and disappeared.

Lilulu turned back to look at the sleeping man on the ground and let out a long sigh.

Since she had decided to take him back, protecting him on the journey also was... something within her duty, she silently sighed.

The rain started again.

Lilulu looked at the sky, some cool droplets falling into her palm as she extended her hand.

It was ordinary rain.

The rain moistened the earth, bringing vitality.

It had been a long time since it rained in the Bamilis Forest.

"Achoo—"

The man curled up by the bonfire suddenly sneezed. Large droplets of water had soaked through his clothes.

With his legs curled and arms wrapped around his shoulders, he looked quite pitiful...

Lilulu looked at him and hesitated for a moment. After a good while, she inclined her head to one side, letting slip a small snort from her nose.
