Dream Travel

Chapter 466 She can build nests

Many people who are influenced by evil spirits will have a period of time where they feel good about themselves.

During that time, they felt very clear-headed and even confident that they could control the power of the demon and avoid its influence...

Little did they know, this was already the beginning of their downfall.

Serafis did not grant White Curtain any demonic power, but her proposal was highly problematic.

Supporting proxies to divide up the Hellish Realms? Serafis would gain immensely from this, but what would Whitebeard gain?
Label him a demon? Even if he controls half of the hellish realm, what can he do? It's not of much use to him.

If he wants the Hellish Realm to function, he has to act like a demon and do demonic things. Then, even if he is still human, he will be practically a member of the demonic circle.

Perhaps Bai Mu didn't think that way, but for humans, the things he did will inevitably lead to prejudice, doubt, and other factors.

Bai Mu had recently received the Maple Crown Medal, and this sudden event had a greater impact on him.

Serafis has achieved his goal, and White Curtain is about to be severely harmed.

Unfortunately, Bai Mu was very unfriendly to some demons, and there were quite a few demons he wanted to kill.

"He told me on his own initiative."

"It's the same. Dealing with demons is no problem, but regarding the hellish realms, it's you who has the need now, not us. You'll have to pay a different price."

This is troublesome. Serafis is starting to find the platinum-blonde woman in front of him annoying. Right now, she does have needs, and White Curtain can deal with those demons at any time.

However, when dealing with those demons, we lacked an opportunity to wipe them all out in one fell swoop.

Serafis could give Whitebeard a chance to wipe them all out, but that doesn't really align with the requirements for Whitebeard.

But she is a demon, and before the contract is finalized, she will naturally try her best to gain benefits for herself.

Before a contract is reached, nothing is decided yet, so some back and forth is normal.

"His hatred for those demons is not small."

"Yours isn't low either."

“I have no hatred towards him. He was able to leave smoothly with my help, although I had other purposes.”

Lily nodded: "I roughly know what your purpose is, but that's not enough."

Serafis is a succubus. If a succubus helps White Curtain without knowing him, what other motive could she possibly have?
She's just attracted to that guy. Most succubi don't fall for someone just because they look handsome. Succubi have a special aesthetic sense, even though that special aesthetic sense still includes elements of normal human aesthetics.

However, that aesthetic is a secondary aesthetic; the main aesthetic aspect is reflected in the demand for succubi.

Ever since White Curtain ate the Dream-Eating Mushroom, she has become particularly suited to the succubus's aesthetic in this regard.

"Why don't we hear our suggestion?"

"You said."

"You can try to obtain the Hellish Realm..."

"..."

……

"How is it?" Bai Mu waited at the door like a gatekeeper, but he didn't eavesdrop.

"She's a very easy-going demon. Why don't you stay and try to reform her?"

Lily, who came out of the room, said with a smile. Bai Mu glanced into the room, and Serafis raised the red wine glass in his hand to Bai Mu. His long legs, which were crossed over, matched the color of the red wine very well.

"Isn't converting a demon a matter of making a contract?"

White Curtain didn't believe Serafis could become a succubus paladin.

He's not some kind of chivalrous hero who goes around trying to reform demonesses all the time. Reform? Let's say through physical means, since his weapon case provides the necessary conditions for that.

"Let's go back first," Lily said with a smile. "It's going to rain soon."

"Um……"

The sky outside was overcast, and they had only been back at their lodgings for a short time when a torrential downpour began.

The rain washed away a layer of light black from Meilin City. Bai Mu stood by the window, looking at the heavy rain outside, and suddenly realized something.

This was probably the first time he had ever seen such a torrential rain since he came into this world.

It might rain heavily at other times, but you won't encounter a white curtain.

At other times, it's either in a dream or there's no rain.

"Seraphis has agreed to our terms. She is the only one who can fight for the Hellish Realm, and she will provide you with information about the demons."

It wasn't enough to just kill the demons who had clashed with the White Curtain. After reaching an agreement with Serafis, Serafis would become the White Curtain's lurking demon.

As for the struggle for the Hellish Realm, after the other demons have left, there are still people from the human camp.

The White Curtain will not participate in this competition, but how much Serafis can win depends entirely on his abilities.

Lily rejected all of Serafis's original proposals.

Those suggestions are just for show; they won't do Whitebeard any good and will only help relieve the pressure on Serafis.

And what did Serafis give in return? Basically nothing.

"And what about Luxembla?"

“The binding force of blood pacts is very strong, but they can be counteracted,” Lily said.

She learned the contents of the blood pact. The blood pact was very harsh, as it was a scheme by the former Lexenberg to trick White Curtain and his fragments after his death.

However, if Serafis is willing to cooperate, the weakened demonic blood pact due to the death of Lexenbra can be resolved.

Both Serafis and 'Lexenbra' can breach the contract, but even breaching the contract won't allow things to proceed normally. "Even if you do that, the demon in your hands will have to pay a price."

"What price?" Bai Mu pondered the gains and losses. Lexenberg was quite useful in his hands and could be considered a meritorious contributor.

White Curtain wouldn't have sold him out before Lexenberg's betrayal.

As for the claim that Luxembla betrayed him, there was no betrayal here, only the deaths of his subordinates.

"You can't use him when you're dealing with Serafis."

After Lexenbra broke his demon blood pact, the price he paid was essentially selling himself directly to Serafis.

Although the Lexenbra in Bai Mu's hands is a demon that has replaced the original, the special connection between him and the original body still cannot ignore the cost.

Even if the blood pact is further weakened after being offset, the effect cannot be eliminated.

If White Curtain summons White Lexenbra when he deals with Serafis, Serafis can use the influence of the blood pact to directly cripple Lexenbra.

Or it would be better to make Luxembla disobey White's orders to some extent; neither situation is good.

"Another way is for you to directly fulfill the blood pact, preventing her from completing its contents. This way, you can indirectly get Serafis to serve you through Lexenbra."

Is this easy to implement?

Would you do that?

Bai Mu thought for a moment and asked, "That depends on the terms of the contract."

"She wants the Holy Soul."

"Never mind then." Bai Mu didn't even ask Serafis how many Holy Souls he wanted.

The Luxembla in his hand had already obtained the memories of this question and knew the difficulty of creating the Holy Soul.

Not only does it take time, but the success rate is also low. In fact, the success rate is linked to the time; the less time there is, the lower the success rate.

Therefore, it's impossible for the White Curtain to cause a large number of sacrifices while simultaneously sabotaging Serafis in order to resolve the blood pact in a normal way.

In that case, let's stick to Lily's original suggestion.

As for letting Seraphine, a demon, compete for the Hellish Realm and then become his own ally, White Curtain also thought it was a good idea.

One demon causing trouble is better than a bunch of primal demons causing trouble. Besides, what Seraphis did would be considered demonic treason if word got out...

But this is probably commonplace for demons, right? After all, demons are more concerned with their own interests. What race? Forget it, this isn't hell anymore.

What Serafis can ignore, Bai Mu cannot ignore; at least Bai Mu doesn't want to be a traitor for no reason.

"So what will be the cost to both sides?"

"If she breaches the contract, she becomes our subordinate; if you breach the contract, you become her casual sex partner. If she wants something, you have to give it to her."

"?" Bai Mu thought he had misheard.

"Is this reasonable?"

Lily smiled at the white curtain: "Don't underestimate your charm."

"But that's your reason for selling me out!?"

Bai Mu reached out and pressed down on Lily's shoulders, almost as if he wanted to grab her by the shoulders and lift her up like a piece of clothing to shake her out.

What kind of "friends with benefits" is this? They're practically sending him to the Hehuan Sect's vixen to be used as a sex slave...

Lily said with some regret, "Actually, I initially wanted to make her a slave, but she's smarter."

"No, you're aiming to get her to break the contract?"

Lily looked at the white curtain with some confusion: "She's a demon, is there a problem with that?"

When a demon makes a contract with a human, isn't it always with the intention of causing the human to break the contract?

"..." Bai Mu didn't ask what price he would have to pay according to that requirement.

He said, "She's a demon, you're not."

"But it's enough that she's a demon."

Bai Mu released his hands, frowning slightly. How should he put it? From another perspective, it seemed like he hadn't really suffered a loss.

After all, the changes brought about by the Dream-Eating Mushroom meant that all he had to do when faced with this situation was eat, eat, eat.

Presumably, as a demon, the other party wouldn't let themselves go hungry.

No, Bai Mu almost slapped himself. He stared at Lily for a while: "You just said 'we' and 'me,' right?"

“Yes.” Lily nodded.

"She broke the contract; she became our subordinate. We broke the contract; you become hers..."

"You wretched woman!" Bai Mu sighed. He could let it go if he broke the contract; as for being subordinate, Bai Mu didn't care that much.

If Lily is talking about slaves, a demon slave seems like a good option, especially since she's a succubus.

“I’m here to negotiate for you, I can’t leave empty-handed, can I?” Lily said with a smile. “Her initial goal was to get you to side with the demons.”

"Let's leave it at that for now." Bai Mu's slightly furrowed brows relaxed; having a special demon as a fodder was indeed quite good.

The allure of hell is immense for demons, and Seraphine's monopolization of it will undoubtedly attract other demons.

This bait is really good.

As for how much of the Hellish Realm Serafis can seize in the subsequent struggle, that depends on her own abilities.
