Chapter 542 - Hello Again

"Yu Lan, darling, it's been far too long. How have you been?" I playfully asked, tracing my eyes over her rather appetizing legs crossed over one another.

Leaning back on her throne, Yu Lan smiled wryly." Is it now? Congrats on your breakthrough. And how are your sins going? Your eyes are lingering, Mr. Snow."

"It is why God gave us men eyes," I replied calmly, eyeing the lovely maiden. "But how is it you know about the sins?"

"I am the sovereign of Casia, and I have in my possession over nine million solar systems under my control. If I do not know who the strongest race is in all of the twelve realms, then I would think I would be a failure."

Lifting my brow, I could not help but be a little shocked, "That is quite a number. Do all of them worship you?"

"It's a shared deal. I get ten percent of all divinity, but ninety percent is shared between my followers and with the Celestial House. They are, after all, our Overlords. I shouldn't have to remind you, right?

"Far from it, Lan Lan." I slightly jeered, watching her cheeks begin to glow.

"Where is Yura? She has been gone for a few days."

Licking my lips with a hint of victory, I smiled, "She is resting; it would seem our latest tryst pushed her a little past the limit her mind could handle. Although I can't say I mind, she drained me dry."

"You didn't come here to speak about your conquest, did you?" She hesitantly requested, twirling her legs. That seemed only to enchant the fire in my heart.

"No. I am here to speak to you about Sulton's latest how should I say it. His latest endeavor. I hope you agree with his plan. You may get a bit of heat from the locals, but the more chaos -"

"The more your sin grows. To think you would make your Mortal Dao a cardinal sin." Yu Lan finished grimly."You do know this is my territory."

"You mean ours. And I plan on handing you fifty percent of all the profit. Fair, don't you think, Lan Lan? After all, the engagement still stands. What's yours is mine." I coldly said, reminding my little queen of the little daughter I am molding.

Most devils will have a sin they resonate with, but most will not apply it to their Mortal Dao, as it may cause a greater effect—something I find irrelevant. Everything has a price, and as a devil, how can we not pay if the benefits are so sweet.

It would seem Yu Lan only knows info regarding basic low-rank devils, not the higher-ups. Low-level devils will not dare to have their sin, be their Mortal Dao. But royal devils, like all the princes and Kings, are different. Their Mortal Dao are the Cardinal Sins themselves.

"I-I had forgotten." She weakly said, but the hope in her eyes was all but clear. She wished for nothing more than her daughter's safety and the death of Aiza. Something I have no problem delivering.

I did not know what that witch had in mind, but I feared that I might already be in her grasp, but Yu Jing is also in mine.

"Forget it. I frankly came here to inform you to work with Sulton. I will deliver Yura possibly tomorrow if tonight doesn't get wild once again." I joyfully claim, unable to help myself when it came to Lilith.

My god, she was like a drug that never seemed to fade with pleasure or time. Each night was about a few years as I would have her slow the flow of time for us. Yet every time we went at it, it was a different experience.

"Is that all I can help you with then?" She asked as I shook my head.

"Nope. I never did kill all the other--"

Pushing through her throne room, a familiar knight clad in gold fell to his knee, "your grace Duke Sulton is requesting an audience."

"Shame. It looks like I will have to come back for the prisoners at a later date." I darkly muttered, wrapping myself in a web of darkness. I flashed Yu Lan a curious smile. "See you soon, and call me if you ever want to relax. I am sure my lovely wife would love to have a partner."

Crackling in laughter, I moved through the darkness appearing a few kilometers outside the palace walls. Licking my lips, I walked away, somewhat lost as to where I materialized at.

"Damn it. I have a shadow map of this damn city, yet I am lost. Screw me." Shedding a bit of tear, I could not help but lift my head and scan my surroundings that appeared to be a commercial district filled with various restaurants.

However, as I did, a smile appeared upon my lips as I saw an odd couple sitting with one another. Staring through the window at the two, drinking tea, I approached, not in the least hiding my aura, much less my identity after all. Who could remember me?

Sensing my arrival, Talos sitting across from Aiza, shot me a heavy glance from within what appeared to be a lovely-looking cafe. Unable to help myself, I waved, walking into the restaurant.

"Now, this is unexpected. Two founders are sitting for tea." I said, drawing close.

"I told you we should have eaten off-planet. Speak of the devil, and so he shall appear." Aiza coldly mocked.

"Touching words coming from the Wicked Witch." I connected, pulling a chair from another table, and invited myself.

"No, please do." Said Talos sharply, although not trying to hide the condescension.

"If you insist," I shamelessly said, taking a seat. "What are we talking about?'

"Shameless. You become a god, and this what happens? And there I thought your mortal sin would be pride." Aiza claimed, lifting her cup to her lips.

"Seems you do not know about my sin? How interesting, but my lips are sealed unless you want to make a deal, that is?"

Aiza smiled, "You think you can handle me, boy?"

I chuckled, glancing at Talos, who merely stared, and back to Aiza. "I'm game if you are, but I assure as an honest Shadowfell devil, I won't recommend it. After all, I got all of Nox to side with me in the war with the Angels, or was I mistaken to believe you all were trying to remain as neutral as possible during this time?"
