After the slave owners went bankrupt, they all wanted to keep me as a mistress.

A playful smile appeared on that stunningly beautiful face, capable of captivating all beings.

“I have a slave contract here. Anyone who signs this contract will be a slave for life. Once they betray their master, they will fall into the eighteenth level of the abyss and be burned by the fire of karma for eternity.”

“If any of you sign this contract, I will let the other go.”

Chapter Twenty-Three: The Unpredictable Succubus Lilith

"Slave, slave..."

Upon hearing this, Fiona's face turned pale, and she bit her lower lip tightly with her teeth.

As a dragon-blooded knight, she should have had a bright future and a wonderful life.

But once she signs the contract to sell herself into slavery, she will be branded as a slave, and she will completely lose her freedom, dignity, and honor, becoming just another lowly servant under the slave owner.

Her mother will consider her a disgrace to the family, and her father will completely remove her name from the family genealogy...

What terrified her even more was the identity of the white-haired girl in front of her.

The succubus is a superior race among the demons.

Their spiritual talents are almost comparable to the physical talents of dragons.

However, more widely known than the succubus's spiritual talents is its reputation.

If elves are recognized as the noblest and most elegant race, then succubi are the most unrestrained and debauched demons in the abyss!

Once you become a succubus's slave... your fate will probably be even more miserable than if you became the slave of any human nobleman!

Moreover, if the contract is signed with a human noble, she might have a chance to kill her master and escape. But if the contract is signed with a demon lord... does she really have a chance to break the contract?

Fiona's body trembled involuntarily, and a look of fear flashed in her eyes.

Beside her, the voluptuous elven woman on the ground also showed a wavering look in her eyes and opened her mouth.

She felt the silencing spell had been lifted, but her throat felt blocked, and she couldn't make a sound.

"..."

Even though Fiona is my best friend, but...

After a brief silence, Fiona, who was kneeling on the ground, was the first to raise her head.

She strained to raise her proud head, staring intently in Lilith's direction, as if she had made up her mind, and shouted:

"Let me do it! This contract... I'll sign it with you!"

"Fiona, Fiona..."

Ilúviel instinctively called out her best friend's name, a wave of shame washing over her as she blurted out, "No...no, please let me sign this contract. It's all because of my hesitation that this has happened..."

Before she could finish speaking, Fiona's eyes flashed with determination as she loudly interrupted her companion: "Ilúviel! Stop talking! We've come to this remote town because I took on this quest! A red dragon knight would never abandon his comrades! Anyway, I'm stronger than that elf! My bloodline is rarer than hers! Choose me! Let me sign a contract with you!"

"Oh dear, what a touching scene." Lilith lightly touched her toes to the ground and floated back onto the boulder, crossing her snow-white legs and a dangerous smile playing on her lips. "But I only said I had a contract here, I didn't say I was giving you a choice, did I?"

"you......!"

Fiona gritted her teeth, her gaze at Lilith almost spitting fire, feeling completely played for.

"Hmm... I have a new idea!"

As if suddenly remembering something, Lilith revealed a malicious smile on her delicate face.

"There seems to be a human city nearby."

“I will pick one lucky one and sell one of you to him.”

"If he chooses one of you first, I will let the other go."

Lilith did not intend to have them sign the contract directly. If she did, it would seem very suspicious if she suddenly transferred the contract to the Demon Lord, and it might expose the Demon Lord's identity.

In this way, they would only think that it was an idle demon lord who wanted to have some fun, so he sold them to a human at will.

Moreover, it should be up to the Demon King to decide who he will choose.

How could she make such a decision on behalf of the esteemed Demon King?

As for selling only one slave to the Demon King, that was also a matter of consideration.

Both girls are members of the Star Council. One possesses the royal bloodline of the Moon Elf, while the other, a dragon girl, shows signs of ancestral regression in her bloodline. In the future, her red dragon bloodline may awaken the power of the progenitor red dragon's bloodline. Both are top-tier talents.

Although they themselves may not even know that they possess royal blood and the blood of the progenitor red dragon, there is no doubt that with the power of their bloodline, they will definitely become an aid to the Demon King on this land!

Even if the Star Council is unaware of this, the mere fact that a moon elf and a dragon girl with half-red dragon blood disappeared at the same time is enough to attract their attention and they will definitely launch an investigation. At that time, it will be easy to find out that it is related to the Demon King.

However, if they let one of them go back, they wouldn't dare report it to the Star Council for the safety of the other person. This would also allow them to plant a spy in the Star Council, killing two birds with one stone.

"However... it seems that the Demon King also needs a little help. As the commander of thousands of demons in the abyss, the king above kings, how can I not even have a manor? Doesn't that make me seem very incompetent?"

Lilith narrowed her light red eyes slightly.

The news of the Demon King's arrival is currently only known to her and Selena, which is a good opportunity for her to express her loyalty to the Demon King in advance.

"The seven abysses are essentially just seven regions of the abyss, separated and sealed away by those damned goddesses..."

"Once the Demon King unifies the human world and merges the abyss into one, and then pulls down those high and mighty goddesses and turns them into lowly sows, the Seven Heavenly Kings... will be a bit too many."

Lilith licked her lips; she had no intention of sharing this glory of loyalty to the Demon Lord with anyone else.

"In my opinion, the Demon King only needs two people as his left and right arms. Although Selena is a bit stupid, she is the second strongest fighter in the Abyss. It is not unreasonable to give her the remaining position."

Her gaze swept across the city not far away, and an idea quickly formed in her mind.

"Although this manor is not worthy of the Demon King's noble status, there is no better manor in this place."

"If the ownership of other manors changes, it may cause some chain reactions. Since the Demon King is preparing to infiltrate human society, we can only ask the Demon King to make do for now."

"If the Demon King is not satisfied with the manor, I'll think of another way..."

Lilith snapped out of her reverie and turned her gaze back to the two girls in front of her, a red leather whip suddenly appearing in her hand.

Fiona's throat bobbed slightly.

What...what is she going to do?

The moment the thought crossed her mind, a loud "crack" rang out, and the whip struck her body, causing a burning pain in her back.

"Never mind—I've changed my mind again. I'll entertain you myself."

Lilith's languid voice slowly rose.

As a demon, it's normal for him to be fickle, right?

Let them experience the despair and pain of becoming slaves first. When they are completely desperate and think that they will be slaves to the devil for the rest of their lives, then sell them to the Demon King. That way... the Demon King should be more satisfied, right?

Chapter Twenty-Four: Ten million gold coins? How could they possibly not be spent?

As soon as Mu Qiu left the ruins of the inn, he saw a group of guards in black armor rushing towards him from afar.

At that moment, the voice of the intelligent guidance function rang in his mind.

[Host, host, was that the first time you've demolished a hotel?]

Mu Qiu became somewhat wary.

Will we have to subtly replenish his system funds again this time?

Hey kid, behave yourself!

Stop giving me so many gold coins!

"Wait a minute, why are you using potions again this time?!"

[Host! This is the achievement module in the system!]

[When the host achieves certain milestones, such as purchasing a high-value slave for the first time, spending one million gold coins for the first time, or damaging a high-class residence for the first time, corresponding achievement rewards will be triggered.]

[However, since the system cannot detect your past life experiences, the achievement reward will change if you have done similar things in the past.]

The sweet voice in his mind explained it to him in detail.

"That's it."

Mu Qiu's heart stirred slightly.

He always chose "it's the first time" before, so why not change his answer this time?

But what if he gets another round of system funds this time...? He's spending more and more gold coins, how long will it take for him to go bankrupt?

As if the system knew his concerns, it thoughtfully added a sentence this time.

Please rest assured, this achievement reward will not include any system funds.

Oh?

If you don't give me any gold coins, then I'll really have to give it a try.

Thinking of this, Mu Qiu calmly replied in his heart: "No, I have demolished many large buildings before."

Wow, that's impressive! You must be a master at demolishing buildings!

To make your demolition process more efficient and hassle-free, I've removed the automatic compensation function. Now, when you damage a building in battle and need to compensate the homeowner, the system will automatically pay the compensation for you!

All your demolition and construction expenses will be covered by this system! Of course, these costs will not be included in the profit or loss calculation.

"You'll pay for me?"

Mu Qiu frowned slightly.

That sounds like a good thing.

But something felt off to him...

It must be an illusion, right?

In this way, he can spend the system funds wisely, only avoiding the loss of having to pay compensation for damaging buildings.

—He can't possibly be relying on this to go bankrupt in the future, can he?

Ten million gold coins may sound like a lot, but it's nothing to advanced professionals. The higher the level of the potion, the more expensive it is.

If he trains Vera to be strong enough, he can easily spend ten million gold coins just by buying her some potions and equipment.

Moreover, the Orion Empire has recently been in conflict with several neighboring countries, and I heard that it has even started a war with a certain kingdom. Although the war is not over yet, based on Mu Qiu's understanding of the Orion Empire over the past month, that kingdom probably won't last much longer.

At that time, a new batch of foreign captives will inevitably be enslaved and sent to the imperial capital.

By then, he'll be able to spend a lot of money on a trip to the capital!

Okay, then there's no problem.

Mu Qiu's brows relaxed again.

This isn't the real world, where you can invest in various industries and make more and more money.

He unilaterally gave away valuable potions and equipment to the slaves without asking for anything in return. The money would only decrease as he spent it. Why would he worry about not being able to spend a mere ten million gold coins?

Impossible, absolutely impossible!

"grown ups!"

Lost in thought, a hurried call suddenly came from afar.

Mu Qiu looked in the direction of the sound and saw a luxurious carriage pulled by two magical steeds approaching from a distance, its wheels rolling and kicking up clouds of dust.

Isn't that the carriage from the auction house?

As soon as the carriage stopped, Mu Qiu saw the old manager of the auction house run down from the carriage, still panting.

"Huff...huff! Sir! Are you alright? Where exactly is this place...?"

The old manager looked around at the scene and saw that the hotel was mostly destroyed. He didn't know what to say for a moment.

He heard from his subordinates that the hotel where the young nobleman who spent millions at the auction house was staying suddenly burst into flames, making an astonishing noise. Some people even vaguely heard a dragon's roar in their sleep!

This terrified the old steward.

A noble young master who can easily spend a million gold coins to buy an elf must have an unimaginable family power behind him. If something unexpected happens here, he will not be able to escape blame.

Therefore, he immediately took a horse-drawn carriage to the scene.
