Nobody knows how to be a villain better than me.

Meanwhile, in the government hall, the Holy King, upon entering, felt a surge of wariness as he looked at the fox spirit who had neatly arranged the documents and knelt before the table to serve tea and welcome him.

"Didn't I tell you to find a room to stay in? Why are you still here?"

"I've made my choice, this is it. As your close friend, this is a great opportunity to get to know you better, so naturally I want to stay by your side during this long night!"

"When did we become close friends? Are we that familiar with each other?"

"Ugh, you did that to her, and now you're trying to deny it so quickly..."

Tamamo-no-Mae turned her head to the side, raising her hands with delicate fingers to shield her face. Her expression was sorrowful, as if she was about to cry. However, the golden eyes hidden behind her fingers showed no trace of tears, but instead were filled with the playful meaning of a fox teasing its prey.

Well, if he were to say "Migu" at this moment, it would be exactly the same as the scumbag fox in his memory.

"I only rescued you from the bandits, I didn't do anything else, don't make it sound like we're having an affair..."

Samael rolled his eyes inwardly, unmoved, and calmly reiterated their pure relationship.

Chapter 129 Bloodbath and a Shura Field

"Isn't this enough? What in the world is closer and stronger than the debt of saving a life! You brought me out of the hellhole and gave me a second life. Xiaoyu, I will naturally repay you tenfold. From now on, you are my goal in life! I will never leave you alone in this cold world!"

With great emotion, Tamamo-no-Mae recounted the psychological journey of a vulnerable woman who was trapped in a bandit's den, rescued by a hero, and went from despair to hope. She then lowered her head shyly and obediently offered him tea.

"Your Majesty, please have some tea."

"I've never seen you so polite before."

"Then, my benefactor?"

"Don't call me that, I'm not worthy..."

Samael twitched his lips, offering a forced smile in refusal, while inwardly grumbling to himself.

Save you? One swipe of your claws and those bandits won't even recognize their own mothers!

Furthermore, he never accepted the tea offered by Tamamo-no-Mae, so who knows if this tea had any weird stuff added to it like last time.

"Yes, I understand..."

Tamamo-no-Mae furrowed her brows slightly, pondered for a moment, then gently bit her cherry lips with her pearly teeth. Her eyes shimmered with moisture as she lowered her graceful figure, her barely visible tail swaying gently. Her golden eyes looked at Samael with a charming gaze.

"Master, welcome back. Would you like some tea first? A bath first? Or something to eat first...?"

"stop!"

Samael's facial muscles twitched, and he hurriedly raised his hand to stop this escalating flirtatious scheme. He knew that when it came to flirting skills, he was no match for this sly fox.

Sniff sniff...

However, the moment the two closed the distance, Tamamo-no-Mae, who was kneeling on the ground, twitched her nostrils and her expression changed slightly. She immediately grabbed Samael's arm, her eyes flashing with a sharp light, and her voice turned cold.

"The smell of blood! You're injured! Who did this?!"

"It's just a little accident, nothing serious."

Samael paused slightly, a hint of gentleness appearing in his gaze as he looked at Tamamo-no-Mae. He then soothed her gently and slowly withdrew his hand.

"Wait, why is there another woman's scent here?!"

However, the fox spirit with a keen sense of smell quickly distinguished a new mixture from the bloody scent. She immediately grabbed Samael's arm, her face full of vigilance and displeasure, and brought her nose close to the chest where the ancient snake scent was strongest, taking a deep breath to examine it.

“And the hair!”

With her amazing eyesight to catch adulterers, Tamamo-no-Mae casually pulled the silver hair stuck to Samael's collar.

We've already marked the spots, so why are so many still popping out to snatch our food!

We're always the ones taking from others, never the other way around! They're really underestimating the fox; that's going too far!

"Ahem, it's Attila. She had a bit of an accident, and I just happened to be helping her out..."

"What?! You even prey on children!"

"What are you saying! I like well-developed, mature women!"

Tamamo-no-Mae was indignant and immediately became furious. Her disdain for the scumbag made Samael honestly explain the origin of these pieces of evidence, and at the same time, she righteously and sternly declared her own fantasies.

However, after a moment of confusion, Samael suddenly came to his senses and his face turned ashen.

That sly fox used her charm on me again!

When her gaze fell upon Samael's slightly sinister expression, Tamamo-no-Mae instinctively shrank back. Then, her eyes darted around, and she grabbed the ancient snake's arm with a charming smile, appearing extremely attentive.

“Master, as the monarch of a country, your attire reflects your dignity. How can you spend the night in such blood-stained filth? Come, Xiaoyu, let me help you take it off so you can wash yourself properly.”

As she spoke, Tamamo-no-Mae pounced on him, her restless claws reaching for his shirt, her eyes gleaming with a sinister light.

"You scumbag, don't think I don't know what you're thinking! Take your hand away!"

Samael clutched his half-torn clothes and retreated repeatedly, trying to evade Tamamo-no-Mae's clutches.

Foxes have a very strong sense of territory, and fox spirits especially dislike the scent of other females on their chosen prey.

"Come on, wash up, I'll be back soon."

"If you strip me naked, what am I supposed to wear to work?!"

"For the sake of your innocence, this filthy thing should be thoroughly cleansed with soapberry, and you should even be soaked in salt water for seven days and seven nights to purify yourself completely, from body to soul!"

"I'm completely innocent! I don't need this to prove it, and what you did wasn't removing the odor, it was exorcising a demon!"

Just as the two were arguing and chasing each other in a chaotic manner, a purple streak of light pierced the night sky and fell towards the government hall.

Oh no, Scáthach!

Seeing the Queen of the Shadow Kingdom, dressed in a light purple dress and wearing a silver crown, who usually appeared as the Winter Goddess, slowly walking towards them, Samael reacted quickly and grabbed Tamamo-no-Mae, taking the opportunity to stuff her into the temporarily constructed concealment magic circle, ensuring that this sly fox wouldn't run out and cause trouble for a while.

"What happened to you? You're covered in sweat, and you're dressed like that."

The Queen of the Shadow Kingdom entered the hall, walked up to him, glanced at the Holy King sitting at his desk, engrossed in writing, and asked in surprise.

"Cough cough..."

Samael's hand holding the pen trembled slightly, and the sweat on his forehead became even more concentrated.

"Is your injury still not healed?"

However, before the ancient serpent could come up with a reason, Scáthach leaned closer, placed her hand on Samael's forehead, and whispered softly between her brows.

"Hmm, the curse kicked in, it was a bit sudden..."

Samael caught a whiff of the lingering stench of blood, his eyes lit up, and he immediately stopped charcoal drawing and gave in to the situation.

"Since things have come to this, why force yourself? Take a rest."

Scáthach sighed softly, murmured, and raised her hand to press down on Samael's fingers holding the charcoal pencil, ending his work.

Immediately, the Queen of the Shadow Kingdom knelt down and sat on the man's lap. She raised her delicate hand and gently cupped Samael's cheek. She brought her head close and placed her soft lips on the ancient serpent's forehead, leaving a warm kiss.

As they whispered sweet nothings to each other, the man, having tasted the sweetness of love, couldn't help but feel a burning desire in his eyes, and he grew even closer to Scáthach.

"Samael! Samael!"

Just as the ancient serpent was getting distracted, Anna's excited shouts from outside the porch made him stop abruptly. Looking around, he saw three eerie statues looking down at him, and he broke out in a cold sweat.

I was so excited just now that I almost forgot this is the Temple of the Three Goddesses.

Being caught red-handed in this disheveled state is not only blasphemous, but if Anna sees it, it's like telling those tigresses in the Starry Sea that he's doing NTR right in front of them, and that's going to be a huge mess.

"Your Majesty, please go inside and hide for a while, trust me."

"She is……"

"This was an accident! It's complicated overall, and our affairs really need to be kept secret from Skadi!"

Samael was sweating profusely. After a fierce internal struggle, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and coax the bewildered Scáthach into the Concealment Magic Circle, while also pulling back a certain fox that wanted to escape.

"Samael, I've made all the preparations for the Great Sacrifice!"

At this moment, Anna entered the hall, completely unaware of the ancient serpent's unusual behavior, and excitedly sought credit.

"Yes, it's really great."

Just as Samael was absentmindedly offering perfunctory praise, little Anna lowered her head, looking somewhat shy.

"It wasn't all my credit; Scáthach and Brunhilde also helped me a lot."

"No need to be so modest. Fortunately, we have you, our local goddess, here. Otherwise, things wouldn't have gone so smoothly."

As the wise woman pondered, a valiant woman, wielding a thorny spear and dressed in a purple bodysuit, entered the hall.

Samael raised his hand and gently stroked Anna's head to encourage her, but when he said a certain word, his tongue suddenly tied and his smile froze.

"Alright, anyway, thank you for your hard work with Scáthach?"

The valiant woman holding a thorny spear nodded subconsciously, then looked around, puzzled, and asked a question.

"Oh, by the way, where's Skadi? She just arrived tonight and rushed over to Mount Ares saying she had a surprise for you..."

hiss!

Samael felt ice-cold all over. He stiffly turned his neck and looked at the magic circle diagram, which was sometimes expanding and sometimes contracting and could break through the shield at any moment, with a look of utter despair.

Now, it’s over!

Chapter 130 Niger Ludayo!

boom!

Ether gathered frantically, and streaks of flying runes appeared in the air, tearing open the twisted rifts that glowed with purple light. Then, violent streams of magical energy surged and swept outwards.

In an instant, the goddess of winter, holding a magic wand made from the branches of the world tree and with her pale purple dress fluttering in the wind, appeared amidst the shimmering, colorful halo.

“My dear husband, shouldn’t you explain…”

Looking around, Skadi took in the desolate scenery of the empty hall, but then noticed that a key figure was missing. Her cold, accusatory voice abruptly stopped, and her face stiffened.

"What about people?!"

"like……"

"Ran?"

Anna and Scáthach turned to look at the empty throne, staring at each other in astonishment.

“Sa, Mai, Er!”

The icy roar soared into the clouds above Mount Ares, like the breath of a perpetual blizzard, sweeping across half of Athens and bringing a bone-chilling cold.

Meanwhile, someone who was running frantically under the moonlight first felt a jolt in their heart and their body stiffen. Then, carefully concealing their presence, they slipped into a mountain path through the dense forest and frantically leaped and bounded to escape the crime scene as quickly as possible.

Nonsense! If we don't run, are we waiting to have snake soup for dinner?!

Only when they were further and further away from the main temple of the God of War Mountain did Samael, who had been circling through the forest, dare to lie down in the bushes with trepidation, carefully checking his surroundings. After confirming the enemy situation, he gradually relaxed, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, leaned against a tree trunk, and let out a long sigh of relief.

Under the cold moonlight, Samael endured the mosquito bites and the mountain wind, reflecting on everything that had happened, speechless with emotion.

He finally understood why "Scáthach" was being so affectionate and proactive with him this time—it turned out the two of them had switched identities sometime during the day! What was there to be afraid of with the real wife!

and many more!

In the evening, Nero was taken to a house, but Scáthach happened to be out. Could she have gone to pick up her wife?

That must be it!

On the way, the two, who were still enjoying their dress-up game, ended up switching identities again and even bumped into Anna, planning a surprise reunion for her. This led to a huge misunderstanding.

As a result, his relationship with Tamamo-no-Mae turned from nothing to something, and he even exposed his affair with Scáthach...

But how come no one told him about something so important? This pockmark isn't a pockmark, it's a trap!

Samael, filled with grief and indignation, was speechless with sorrow and felt deeply wronged.

By the way, wasn't Skadi in the Celtic tribes helping to defend against the Huns and Attila? Why is she here at Mount Ares looking for her husband?

Well, it seems that Attila was lured to Athens by him, and it's not impossible that Skadi, who has some free time now, would come to visit.

Attila...

The ancient serpent recalled the innocent, brown-skinned girl who had fallen into a state of infantile regression, and his lips twitched, his face hardening.

You scumbag! It was all your fault after all!

Tsk, who knows what this wicked scoundrel is saying about him behind his back.
