The Great Demon Lord of the American Comics World

Chapter 147, 187, 188: We've snagged a goddess! Shall we serve her on the dinner table?

In his human form, Li Xingzhou enjoys the pleasures of life to the fullest during his leisure time.

The Blood Sea Demon Lord's primordial spirit form, a fragment of the abyss, was refining Cyric and Yenogu while overseeing the construction of the city and magic array, and occasionally keeping an eye on the work of his demon subordinates.

Edge of the abyss fragments.

Several exceptionally tall and strong bewitching demons, each over five and a half meters tall, were casting their nets into the dark void ahead from the edge of the fragments.

The dark void at the edge of the fragments appears to be nothingness, but in reality, it harbors terrifying temporal turbulence and temporal storms.

Even the most powerful demons dare not leave the land beneath their feet and enter that dark void, otherwise they will at best get lost in the turbulent flow of time and space, not knowing when or where they will drift, or at worst be swept up by the temporal storm and be instantly shattered to pieces.

However, spacetime turbulence is not impossible to explore.

Using certain special tools, it is possible to salvage things from the turbulent flow of time and space.

For example, the nets used by the seducers at this time are made from the sails and ropes of the "Entropy Ship".

The Entropy Ship, crafted from shattered bones, subjugated souls, and supplicants, is a wondrous demonic vessel that can sail on the River Styx, which connects the hell of Bathor and the bottomless abyss.

The River Styx possesses boundless power; demons, monsters, and even gods, once they fall into it, are utterly "purified." The Entropy Ship, however, can navigate safely on the River Styx, demonstrating its incredible power.

Therefore, nets woven from materials from the entropy ship can also resist spacetime turbulence and spacetime storms, allowing one to retrieve something from them.

Of course, the demons couldn't be sure whether there was any matter in the dark void; they could only keep casting their nets and hoping for the best.

Normally, this kind of job, which is purely based on luck, might not yield any significant results even after ten or eight years.

But the aftershocks of the dimensional collision have not yet subsided.

Even now, many unidentified objects that fell into the spacetime turbulence during the dimensional collision still drift nearby.

Therefore, the demons can basically catch something every hundred times they cast their nets.

However, most of the items are just broken stones, metal, bone fragments and other waste materials, and it is difficult to find any useful treasures.

Not to mention living creatures.

Almost no living thing can survive in the spacetime turbulence unless it also has a fragment dimension of sufficient size to protect it—and what the demons mainly want to salvage are precisely these fragment dimensions that can protect the demons' survival.

If you're lucky enough to snag a piece, you can not only increase your Abyss Fragment quantity, but also obtain a batch of cannon fodder as reserve food.

These seductive demons have been busy for a long time, and a lot of scrap has piled up around them, but they haven't found anything useful yet.

They weren't in a hurry. The new lord's task for them was to try their luck. If they could find something useful, they would be rewarded; if they couldn't, there would be no punishment.

Hey yo!

Amidst shouts, the seductive demons once again cast their nets into the dark void.

This time, the moment the net disappeared into the void, the seductive demons sensed something was different.

The net suddenly became extremely heavy. Even with the strength of the strongest seductive demons, they were almost dragged back into the dark void by the immense force transmitted from the net.

"We've got a big catch!"

The bewitching demon's expression brightened, and it roared:
"Looking for help!"

As he spoke, he cast his innate spell, "Summon Demon."

The other Temptresses also cast their spells, and in the blink of an eye, each Temptress successfully summoned a Temptress. The newly appeared Temptresses also cast their spells and summoned new Temptresses. The success rate of a demon summoning a demon of the same rank is not very high. After all, summoning is a two-way street. The summoned can choose to respond or ignore it.

No demon would easily give face to a demon of the same rank, unless it was a high-ranking demon that couldn't be offended that summoned them.

However, the demons in this fragment of the abyss have now been marked with the mark of enslavement by Li Xingzhou.

All demons are Li Xingzhou's slaves, and they must cooperate sincerely in all matters, otherwise they will be marked with enslavement and subjected to severe punishment that pierces their souls.

The number of seductive demons multiplied several times in the blink of an eye.

About twenty incredibly strong seductive demons worked together, dragging the net and finally pulling it back from the dark void.

Once the net returned to the edge of the fragments, the objects within it were revealed to the bewitching demons.

It was a huge piece of crystal.

Within the pale golden crystal lay a graceful body.

She had obsidian-colored skin, soft and smooth, seemingly delicate enough to break at a touch. Her hair was silver-white, shimmering with a soft, moonlit glow. She was completely naked, with only her long, ankle-length silver hair barely covering a few vital areas. Her face was exquisite, possessing a beauty that could captivate even demons.

The demons stared blankly at the silver-haired woman in the crystal, whose size was relative to their enormous bodies, as delicate as a child compared to an adult. Their eyes were initially filled with undisguised greed and lust.

But soon, the greed and covetousness in their eyes gradually turned into fear and dread.

There's no other reason than that this silver-haired, dark-skinned, and completely naked woman had quite a reputation even in the abyss; many demons had heard of her and knew her characteristics and name.

"You, the dark maiden!"

A bewitching demon trembled as it said, "She is the Maiden of Darkness!"

Iristris, the Dark Maiden, is the daughter of Corellon, the chief elven god of Faerûn, and Lóse the Spider Queen. She is a renowned deity in the Drow pantheon.

Despite her beautiful appearance, alluring figure, and penchant for running around naked, seemingly a wanton vase, her divine duties include the combat divine duties of "swordsmanship and hunting."

Therefore, even though she only possessed the power of a weak god, she could easily annihilate all the demons present.

"You all stay here and keep watch, I'll go report to the lord!"

The first bewitching demon to regain its senses immediately used advanced teleportation to desperately move away from the pale golden crystal.

Although the girl in the shadows looked unwell and was asleep inside the crystal, who knows when she would wake up.

Once they wake up, the demons present will likely face annihilation, so it's best to slip away quickly.

The other seductive demons weren't fools either. Seeing that someone was leading the way in running away with a perfectly legitimate excuse, they immediately joined in the clamor:

"You all stay here and keep watch, I'll go and report to the lord!"

All the demons used the same excuse, and regardless of whether any demons stayed behind, they were all going to teleport away anyway.

In the blink of an eye, all twenty or so seductive demons that had been surrounding the pale gold crystal had vanished without a trace.

In fact, there was absolutely no need for them to go and report.

All the demons who have been marked with enslavement by Li Xingzhou are Li Xingzhou's eyes.

He can share the demons' vision at any time, and even project himself onto them to manipulate their bodies.

Even if he were to die one day, he could be reborn in any demon's body—this is the life-saving supernatural power he obtained from the "Heart Demon Lord": "As long as the demonic thought is divided into millions, the inner demon will not perish."

Besides the life-saving supernatural power of the Heart Demon Path, the Blood Sea Demon Path also possesses the life-saving ability of "the Blood Sea never dries up, and the Blood Demon never perishes".

Every blood shadow in the sea of ​​blood is an insurance policy for Li Xingzhou's resurrection and rebirth.

In the cultivation world, whenever a great demon is born, why do righteous cultivators, even if they are accused of bullying the weak and lacking martial ethics, still gather a large number of fellow cultivators to lay a trap and launch a joint attack to annihilate it?

It's because some paths of the demonic path are not only incredibly powerful in killing, but also incredibly good at surviving.

now.

Li Xingzhou had already seen the pale gold crystal retrieved from the void through the eyes of those bewitching demons.

With a thought, a bewitching demon that had already escaped several thousand meters away suddenly froze, then its body compressed and twisted, transforming into the appearance of Li Xingzhou.

Li Xingzhou stretched his temporary body, took a step forward, activated teleportation, and in an instant, arrived in front of the pale gold crystal.

"A crystallization of divine power?"

Li Xingzhou sensed the properties of the pale gold crystal and then looked at the dark girl inside the crystal.

To the five-and-a-half-meter-tall seductive demon, the dark girl's figure was indeed short and frail.

But from an ordinary person's perspective, this beautiful goddess appears exceptionally tall.

She is at least 2.7 meters tall; even the giants in the NBA would look like dwarfs next to her.

Despite her astonishing height, the girl in the shadows has an extremely well-proportioned figure. Her body length to leg length ratio, waist-to-hip ratio, and shoulder-to-hip ratio are all perfectly stunning.

As for her facial features, needless to say, her obsidian-colored skin did not diminish her beauty in the slightest.

"As expected of a goddess with the divine duty of 'beauty'."

Li Xingzhou sighed, a moment of hesitation creeping into his heart.

Such a beautiful goddess would be a waste to simply put her on the dining table.

"Then let's try a different way of eating it..."

While it's certainly exhilarating to devour and refine divine power by placing it on the dining table, it's also a good option to subdue its heart, enjoy its body, and slowly and steadily benefit from the dual cultivation method.

While the short-term gains are certainly not as good as swallowing it directly, the long-term gains are definitely greater; it's just a matter of taking a little more time.

However, Li Xingzhou is not lacking in power now and has enough patience to enjoy it slowly.

"No! The Dark Maiden has been stranded in this world. Without the faith of believers to replenish her divine power, every bit she consumes is a bit less. Even if she slowly and steadily consumes it, the total amount she ultimately obtains will still only be the total amount of divine power she currently possesses..."

Li Xingzhou stroked his chin thoughtfully.

He does not cultivate the divine path. Although the dual cultivation path can keep the dual cultivation partners young, healthy, energetic, and free from all diseases, it cannot help people replenish their divine power.

"We need to find a way to replenish her divine power. Hmm, speaking of which, it seems that the duties of the Dark Maiden also include singing and dancing?"

According to information from the demon's memories, the duties of the dark maiden Iristris include: singing, beauty, dancing, swordsmanship, hunting, and moonlight.

Swordsmanship and hunting are combat-related divine duties, while singing, beauty, and dancing are cultural and entertainment divine duties.

She seems well-suited for the entertainment industry!
Perhaps we could leverage Vought's distribution channels to launch a supernova?

She has dark skin, which naturally attracts black fans.

Fans are believers, and the power of faith provided by fervent fans is no less than that of fanatics.

Just as Li Xingzhou was pondering how to make the food he liked even more nutritious and delicious.

The long eyelashes of the girl in the pale gold crystal trembled slightly twice as she slowly opened her eyes.

As she opened her eyes.

The pale gold crystal that enveloped her body suddenly turned into liquid, and then her body absorbed it completely, like a sponge absorbing water.

The dark girl, having withdrawn her divine power, radiated a soft, moon-like glow.

Her lying body straightened up, her soft toes barely off the ground, hovering in the air. Her long, silvery-white hair, shimmering with silver light, cascaded down like a waterfall, reaching her heels. A few strands of hair in front of her, as if possessed by a spirit, fluttered without wind, annoyingly obscuring her private parts.

The goddess, standing over 2.7 meters tall, looked down at the human before her. Suddenly, her delicate brows furrowed slightly, and she asked in a beautiful, captivating voice:
"Are you a demon?"

She spoke the language of demons, for she sensed the aura of a demon emanating from Li Xingzhou.

"No, I'm human."

Li Xingzhou smiled slightly and said to the goddess:

"However, the area where you are is actually my territory."

"Your territory?"

The girl in the shadows looked around, sensing the atmosphere of the place, and her expression suddenly became subtle:
"Are you an Abyss Lord?"

“Not bad.” Li Xingzhou said leisurely, “This is a fragment of the abyss. I have just conquered this place and become its lord. Beautiful goddess, I welcome you to my territory for refuge and sincerely invite you to my palace.”

The dark-skinned girl narrowed her beautiful eyes slightly as she stared at Li Xingzhou, using her divine eye to "detect evil." She saw that the evil aura emanating from this man was so intense and dazzling that it resembled a sea of ​​scarlet blood.

She had never seen such powerful evil before. Even her mother, the Lord of Hell, and the Lord of the Abyss seemed far inferior to him in terms of evil.

As the girl in the shadows was still in shock, Li Xingzhou seemed to sense her prying eyes. He smiled slightly, and the aura representing his faction on his body changed in a series of ways, turning black, then purple, then gold, and finally into dazzling pure gold. In the girl's eyes, he became like a sun illuminating the darkness.

"This……"

The girl in the shadows stared in disbelief, unable to believe that her divine eye could not discern his good from evil.

Well, Li Xingzhou is indeed a great demon. The evil karma accumulated in his primordial spirit cannot be purified even by heavenly tribulations, nor can it be washed away by nine reincarnations.

But he also performed countless good deeds.

For example, in order to cultivate demonic arts and formations and cleanse the world of evil spirits and demons, he once destroyed mountains and temples and wiped out the divine way, so that mortals would no longer be bound by the gods. Although such actions were not liked by the Heavenly Way and might even aggravate the Heavenly Tribulation, the merits of humanity were real.

In this lifetime, he also performed great deeds to save the world—clearing the fog zone, saving the world from being swallowed by the fog, defeating aliens, saving the world from alien enslavement, and eliminating the demon army, thus averting a potential demon invasion crisis that could affect the entire world.

These are also real acts of merit.

This world has no Heavenly Law; Heaven can no longer determine its good or evil.

The human merits he has accumulated are enough to create a golden statue of merit.

With such a mixture of good and evil, even a god could not easily judge his morality.

The girl in the shadows was dazzled by Li Xingzhou's ambiguous sense of good and evil.

They could only stop observing the spiritual energy of his faction and look at Li Xingzhou with their naked eyes.

Ignoring his demonic aura and his alignment with good or evil, and focusing solely on his appearance, the dark-skinned girl suddenly felt that he was an extremely charismatic man.

His appearance was so handsome, his smile so elegant, and his figure so perfect. Even among the gods, there are few male gods as handsome, elegant, and masculine as him.

The Dark Maiden's divine duty is "beauty," and she naturally loves all beautiful things.

Although she is a benevolent deity who opposes evil, her allegiance is "chaotic," and she is not the kind of person who would fight to the death whenever she sees evil.

Besides, it's difficult to judge whether he's good or evil.

Finally, Iristris came to understand her situation, knowing that this fragment of the Abyss no longer existed in Forgotten Realms, but had been attached to a completely new world.

She can no longer contact her church or sense her followers.

And she herself was not in good condition.

The dimensional collision caused her divine kingdom to shatter instantly. Although she managed to gather the immense divine power that erupted when her divine kingdom shattered and transformed it into crystal to protect her divine body, her divine soul still suffered severe damage.

On the surface, her body appeared intact, but the divine fire had dimmed. If she had enough divine power to replenish it, she could recover in a few years, but unfortunately, she had severed ties with her followers. Perhaps, in the perception of her followers on the continent of Faerûn, she had already perished.

Thinking of this, the dark maiden felt a pang of sadness. Looking at this somewhat peculiar abyss lord, she nodded in agreement to his request:
"Thank you, I am homeless, thank you for taking me in."

Li Xingzhou smiled slightly, gestured for her to follow, and led her toward the palace.

Iris touched the ground with her toes, walking barefoot on the scorched earth. Her soft, silky soles left no footprints and were not covered in dust.

As she took a step, her body shrank rapidly, and after a few steps, she was slightly shorter than Li Xingzhou, as a sign of respect for the lord of this place.

As she walked alongside Li Xingzhou, she introduced herself:

“My name is Iristris, also known as the Dark Maiden. What is your name?”

"Leonardo Victor. People also call me 'Red Dragon'."

“A red dragon?” Iristris asked curiously, “But you don’t have the aura of a dragon.”

"It's just a hero's code name."

Li Xingzhou smiled:

“I am a person of this world. In our world, there is a profession called ‘superhero,’ which you can think of as volunteer sheriffs who act spontaneously out of a sense of responsibility to fight crime. I am one of them. That’s why people call me ‘Red Dragon.’”

“I see.” The dark girl nodded and smiled. “Then why did you come here and conquer this place? This is a fragment of the abyss.”

“This place once teemed with over two hundred thousand demons. The leaders were Asas and Yenogu.” Li Xingzhou smiled. “They planned to invade our world, so I struck first and attacked this place.”

"Asath? Asath, son of Grazt, and Yenogu, the gnoll king?" The dark girl became serious. "These two are not simple. Where are they now?"

The demon lord is empowered by the will of the abyss and commands a vast army of demons. The dark maiden, possessing only the power of a weak deity, would have no choice but to flee as far as possible if she encountered either of them in the abyss.

Li Xingzhou smiled and said:
“This fragment is of limited size, and the will of the abyss here is already broken and incomplete, unable to provide them with sufficient support. Their demon legion also suffered heavy casualties in the dimensional collision, with few elites remaining. They themselves also seem to be injured, likely having been severely impacted by the dimensional collision. So I not only defeated their legion, but also eliminated them.”

The girl in the shadows opened her beautiful, moonlit eyes in surprise:
"You killed Asas and Yenogu? They're dead?"

"Yes, they're all dead. In fact, my palace now is the palace of Asas. Yenogu's three-headed flail 'Butcher' has also fallen into my hands."

"You really are..." The girl in the shadows didn't know what to say for a moment, and after a long while she said in a low voice, "I feel that your world is very dangerous."

"It's alright. There aren't many people like me in our world."

"Does your world have gods?"

"Yes. But unlike the gods in your world, they don't need faith."

"They don't need faith? Then how did they become strong?"

"Training, and the years. The gods of our world grow stronger with age."

"Can mortals be made gods?"

"Basically, no. In our world, gods are mostly born that way; they are essentially extraterrestrial races with a higher level of life. People only came to believe in them because they accidentally witnessed their existence and power. Strictly speaking, it's mortals who voluntarily worship them as gods, not the other way around. Therefore, they don't respond to mortals' prayers, nor do they care whether people believe in them. But this doesn't affect their existence or power. On the contrary, it's the demons of our world who like to use faith as a pretext to offer benefits to mortals and tempt their souls..."

The two walked and talked, with the girl in the shadows mostly asking questions.

She wasn't deliberately trying to find out secrets.

As a god of chaotic goodness, her divine duties have nothing to do with strategy. The dark girl doesn't have any deep scheming; she's simply curious about the new world and worried about her future, so she wants to learn more about it.

Li Xingzhou's willingness to share his knowledge greatly increased her affection for him, and she gradually came to regard him as a friend.

Chaotic kindness is just that capricious; the three senses follow the five senses. As long as they take a liking to each other, they can turn a stranger into a confidant in a short time—of course, this is also because Li Xingzhou is charming enough and speaks very well.

After walking for a while, a silver-white palace appeared ahead.

"Silver Palace?"

Upon seeing the exquisite and luxurious silver-white palace, the dark-skinned girl instinctively uttered a name that resounded throughout the world of Faerûn.

The Silver Palace is a palace complex built by the demon lord Grazt. The main material is white stone mined from Paradise Mountain. The palace complex also contains sixty-six ivory towers. It is the most luxurious and beautiful palace in the abyss, and also a fortress that is said to be forever unstable.

The silver palace that Asas built was certainly not as grand as his father's.

Although the main building of the palace was also made of the pure white stone of Paradise Mountain, and there was a throne inside made of ivory and gold and inlaid with gemstones, it was just a lonely palace, not even as big as one of the sixty-six ivory towers in the vast Silver Palace of Graz.

At this moment, the silver-white palace is moving.

Hundreds of high-ranking demons are moving the palace to the valley basin where Li Xingzhou plans to build the city.

Seeing that among the demons there were no fewer than ten Balor Flame Demons and more than a dozen six-armed snake demons, and the rest were all powerful demons such as Temptation Demons and Soul-Breaking Demons, the dark girl frowned slightly and said to Li Xingzhou in a sincere tone:
"Leonardo, we're friends now, right?"

Li Xingzhou smiled and said:

"Of course, we are friends."

"Since you acknowledge me as your friend, then as a friend, I must remind you that demons have no loyalty whatsoever. Even if they temporarily submit to your power, they will always be plotting betrayal."

The girl in the shadows said solemnly:

"Even if they cannot resist you with their power, they will try every means to lure you into depravity and turn you into one of them."

"Thank you for the reminder." Li Xingzhou smiled. "But please believe me, I have special insights into controlling demons."

"But……"

"Alright, let's go into the palace and rest." Li Xingzhou interrupted the girl in the shadows, gestured for her to proceed, and strode towards the palace.

The girl in the shadows sighed softly and followed.

As the two approached the palace, the demons who were moving the palace all stopped what they were doing and knelt down in front of Li Xingzhou.

Seeing the demons' respectful actions and sensing their extreme fear and even a hint of reverence and worship, the dark girl was slightly taken aback, her heart filled with surprise:

How could a wild and unruly demon be so respectful and submissive to humans?
It should be noted that given the chaotic and violent nature of demons, even powerful demons like Balrogs will occasionally show a hint of arrogance, even when facing high-ranking demon lords.

Even if they appear submissive on the surface, they never hide their arrogant nature.

But now, the dark girl could not sense any defiance or arrogance from those demons. Even the Balor Balrog seemed to only feel fear, awe, and worship from the bottom of his heart.

Humans have actually achieved this?
How can we truly tame the demons of the abyss?

The shadowy girl watched Li Xingzhou's retreating figure, followed him, and walked through the kneeling demons, stepping onto the palace steps.

Upon arriving at the palace gate, Li Xingzhou stopped outside the gate and gestured for the girl in the shadows to enter.

The girl in the shadows stepped into the palace gates, only to find Li Xingzhou still standing outside. She couldn't help but ask:
"Aren't you coming in?"

Li Xingzhou smiled:
“I am already waiting for you in the palace.”

The girl in the shadows was puzzled. She looked at Li Xingzhou outside the door, then looked into the palace. She saw that deep inside the palace, on the throne made of gold and ivory and inlaid with gemstones, sat Leonardo Victor.

Furthermore, Leonardo on the throne exuded a completely different aura from those outside the door; he possessed no trace of demonic energy, but rather a pure human aura.

"Incarnation?"

The girl in the shadows blinked and saw Li Xingzhou outside the door change his form, instantly transforming into a bewitching demon. He staggered down the steps and joined the horde of demons.

"It's actually an incarnation of a seductive demon! How come I didn't realize it before!"

The girl, who possessed the "Eye of True Sight," which theoretically allowed her to see through all changes and disguises, was secretly amazed.

Li Xingzhou's true form, who had just arrived here from the mortal world using the Cosmic Cube, rose from his throne and greeted the girl in the shadows with a smile:

"That was me just now. I was just using that demon's body to speak to you. This is my true body now."

Projection possession isn't a particularly advanced skill for deities; even the Dark Maiden knows this technique.

However, the objects that a deity can project and possess can only be its own followers, and they must be followers of the "chosen ones" level, otherwise they are not able to withstand the power of the deity.

Leonardo, on the other hand, can freely project his body onto a demon and transform it into an exact replica of himself. Doesn't this mean that, in some aspects, his abilities surpass those of the gods?

As he pondered, the palace gates slowly closed.

The demons outside the palace stood up and continued working, dragging and pushing, steadily moving the palace.

Li Xingzhou led the shadowy girl on a tour of the palace, and said with a smile:

"Asas has a pretty good eye for aesthetics. This palace doesn't look like a demon's palace at all; it looks more like a heavenly abode."

The girl in the shadows nodded in agreement:

"Indeed. The floor and walls are made of white stone from Paradise Mountain, pure and beautiful. Many of the decorations inside are also the work of master artists, including many treasures crafted by elven masters."

Li Xingzhou smiled and said:
"I wonder how many art masters he robbed and defrauded."

After a tour, Li Xingzhou led her to an elegantly decorated small hall. He clapped his hands, and several beautiful succubi, dressed in white Roman court-style gowns with semi-transparent fabric that revealed their delicate bodies and made their wings, horns, and tails even smaller and more exquisite, entered carrying fine snacks, fruits, and wine.

"Let's try some of the world's delicacies," Li Xingzhou said with a smile.

The shadowy girl glanced at the succubi, unconcerned about their attire—she herself was naked, and even if the succubi's clothes were see-through, they were still wearing more than she was.

Seeing that Li Xingzhou was using succubi as maids, she couldn't help but remind him:
“Leonardo, although I have seen your ability to tame demons, extracting life force is a succubus’s innate instinct. If you frequently come into contact with them and maintain a close relationship with them for a long time, your life force and even your life will be lost without you realizing it. Moreover, they are extremely good at bewitching people’s hearts and tempting them to fall into depravity. If you are not careful, you will fall into their carefully woven evil traps.”

Li Xingzhou smiled slightly, glanced at the succubi who were terrified by the god's hostility, and waved for them to leave.

After the succubi had left, he leisurely said:

"Thank you for the reminder. But please rest assured, even if it's a succubus, it can't harm me."

Seeing that he wouldn't listen to her advice, the girl in the shadows could only sigh helplessly.

Li Xingzhou then picked up the bottle and poured her a glass of whiskey:

"Try this wine. It's a famous wine that I've treasured for many years. It tastes good."

The girl in the shadows took a bite, nodded, and smiled.

“It’s really a good wine.”

Li Xingzhou drank with her for a while, then offered her some pastries and fruit before asking:

What are your plans for the future?

A look of confusion appeared in the girl's dark eyes as she murmured:

"I don't know. This disaster came too suddenly, and I'm lucky to have survived. As for the future... I've suddenly come to a completely new world, and I don't know anything about it yet. I don't have a clue at all."

"I have some ideas. Would you like to hear them?"

"please say."

Li Xingzhou gently held his wine glass, gazing at the beautiful face and graceful figure of the girl in the shadows, and said leisurely:

"This world has a large population and an extremely developed entertainment industry, and you happen to possess the three divine powers of singing, dancing, and beauty. Although you are now far from your world, and the power of your divine powers will be greatly reduced, this world is very inclusive and allows any form of power to exist. Therefore, you can use your divine powers of singing, dancing, and beauty to attract countless believers in this world... As long as you operate properly, ascending to powerful divine strength is not just a dream."

The future described by Li Xingzhou was undoubtedly beautiful, but although the girl in the shadows was terribly weak in strategy and too naive in personality, she was not stupid. She knew that no one would be kind to her for no reason, even if the other party admitted that she was a friend.

So she gazed into Li Xingzhou's eyes and asked:
"You want to help me?"

“Yes.” Li Xingzhou nodded: “I happen to have connections in the entertainment industry, which can help me turn you into a superstar.”

The girl with dark eyes lowered her eyelids and said softly:

"So, what price do I need to pay?"

"Become my lover."

Li Xingzhou gazed at her and smiled:
“Iris, I love your beauty, I love your body, and I want to have you.”

The girl in the shadows chuckled:
"Leonardo, in your world, is pursuing lovers always this direct?"

Li Xingzhou shrugged:
“I’ve heard that the gods of Faerûn are very open-minded, and the drow are even more open-minded than the gods. Am I mistaken?”

The goddesses of Faerûn are all very promiscuous.

The drow elves are more reckless than the gods.

Whether they are evil drow who worship evil gods like the Spider Queen, or a few kind drow who worship Elestia, they can all be described as wildly promiscuous when it comes to relationships.

It is a tradition for the followers of the Dark Maiden to run naked together, just like their goddess, during sacrificial rites.

"Okay, your understanding is not wrong. That is indeed the custom among the gods and drow in our world."

The girl in the shadows first acknowledged Li Xingzhou's understanding, then explained:
“But I am different in one way. For a long time, my church had only female pastors…”

Although the girl in the shadows seems promiscuous by running around naked all the time, she has never actually had a male lover.

So you only like women?

"I do prefer beautiful women, but of course I don't only like women... However, if you want to pursue a goddess, you must at least win her favor first."

"So, Iristris, do you have feelings for me?"

"Uh……"

The girl in the shadows hesitated, unsure how to respond.

He certainly had feelings for her, but they had only just met, and suddenly he wanted her to be his mistress... This pace...

Li Xingzhou smiled apologetically:
"Sorry, I misunderstood. I thought pursuing a goddess meant being this direct."

“No, it’s not your fault,” the girl in the shadows quickly said. “You did nothing wrong. It’s just that I, well, I’m still a little unaccustomed to it.”

Seeing her reaction, Li Xingzhou's lips curled up into a subtle smile, and he stood up and said:

"Then, you should rest well here. The bedroom is next to the small hall, and there's a very comfortable bath inside. If you need anything, you can summon a succubus maid. I'll go and make some plans first, and tomorrow I'll take you to the human world to carry out our plan."

"OK, thanks."

The girl in the shadows thanked him softly and rose to see him off.

Li Xingzhou walked to the door, turned back and smiled:
"Alright, no need to see me off. Get some rest."

The girl in the shadows nodded softly, leaned against the door, and watched him leave.
