"Is it better now?" Qingyi asked, placing a gentle kiss on Biyue's forehead.

"Y-yes..." she sobbed, her voice tearful and weak, her voluptuous body nestled in Qingyi's lap.

They were in the world of the mind, lying on the main room of the palace of the Lightning Spirit Temple.

The mood in the orthodox alliance was simply not good, and Qingyi wanted a place where Biyue could rest more relaxed.

"Do you want me to ask Elize to make you something to eat? She makes divine cupcakes." Qingyi said, running his hands through Biyue's long, silky black hair.

The poisonous beauty thought for a moment before nodding silently.

"I'll be right back," Qingyi smiled at her, laying her down on the bed and leaving the room.

A few minutes later, Biyue stood up, tightening the grip of her dress on her voluptuous body and covering part of her pale, sensual cleavage.

With trembling steps, she stepped out onto the room's wide balcony.

To call it just a balcony was to despise it a little in reality.

Taking on a comically large size, it served more as a kind of training arena linked directly to the palace main bedroom than as a balcony as such.

In one corner, Khaedryss slept peacefully, her black scales glistening in the sunlight while her colossal body was already proving to be almost too big for the place, reaching 40 meters from snout to tail.

The dragon's eyes suddenly opened, purple, beautiful, like Qingyi's when he used his vision technique.

They studied Biyue curiously for a brief moment before she opened her jaws in a soft grunt, bringing her snout closer to the poisonous beauty.

Biyue raised her hand, keeping it inches from Khaedryss' black scales before backing away.

"It's okay... you can pet her if you want," a mature, sweet and gentle voice sounded behind Biyue's back, and she immediately turned around.

Standing next to the door leading to the balcony was a woman with purple hair, colossal breasts and a beautiful face filled with a motherly smile.

Putting the tray of food aside, Elize approached Biyue, grabbing the poisonous beauty's delicate wrists and bringing her hands up to Khaedryss' snout.

The dragon closed her eyes, feeling Biyue's touch.

"I've lost people too, so has Khaedryss..." Elize said, "My mother, my sister... it's strange, I barely remember their faces, I don't even know if they're alive or dead, but it still hurts so much."

Biyue didn't reply, only shuddering as she struggled to hold back her tears.

"But we can't suffer for the rest of our lives, can we? Husband would never allow us to." Elize hugged Biyue.

"Ha... I'm sure he wouldn't..." A bitter smile took over Biyue's face, as if she were holding back an oppressed laugh.

Qingyi was a womanizing scoundrel, but he truly cared about his women, from the bottom of his heart.

"Just be well, okay?" Elize pulledBiyue down, sinking the poisonous beauty's face into her ample, soft and warm mountains of pale flesh. "For the husband, and for yourself."

"So that's why he likes being between my breasts so much..." Biyue murmured, her eyes closing briefly, allowing herself to be comforted by Elize.

"Thank you sist-" The words stuck in Biyue's throat, still awkward at the idea of being one of many women in a harem.

It was only after long seconds of choking on those words that Biyue finally overcame her pride. "Thank you sister Elize..." She said.

They might not actually be blood sisters, but they were all Qingyi's women, and they all treated each other like sisters.

"I promise I'll try not to suffer any more." Biyue forced determination into her voice.

It was a bit embarrassing that she needed someone almost seven times younger than her to tell her that, but Biyue didn't think much of it.

In the end, Biyue had learned about many things in her long life, but not about affection. She recognized that.

"Let's eat a bit before it gets cold. The husband should be joining us shortly." Elize smiled and, after waiting for Qingyi, watched as they devoured the food she had prepared with so much love.

Not even the most esteemed chefs in the Nine Peaks Basin could compare to her in the kitchen.

***

Far from the orthodox alliance and deep in the deadlands, the leader of the demon cult was on his knees, praying.

He was in a small temple and in front of him was a miniature statue of a being similar to the one his son had turned into before being killed by Qingyi.

The celestial demon.

Not the title he bore as the leader of the demon cult, but the real celestial demon, the one who inhabits the celestial heaven itself and who will one day cleanse these unholy lands.

"May the celestial demon bless us and may our victory be eternal," Mochen whispered, standing up.

In the distance, he heard light, patient footsteps approaching him, opening the temple door.

It was the demon doctor.

"I'm sorry, little Mochen," the old man said, walking over to Mochen.

He hadn't said what had happened, it wasn't necessary.

It was plain on the old man's face: the chief strategist of the demon cult had succumbed to his injuries.

Mochen closed his eyes, inhaling deeply, calming his mind.

With a wave of his hands, a member of the Crimson Guard, Mochen's personal protector, appeared in front of him, kneeling down.

This man was not just an ordinary crimson guard; holding the position of captain of the guard, one of Mochen's most trusted men.

"What did intelligence find?" Mochen asked.

"We found no indication that the Orthodox alliance was responsible for ambushing the great strategist, my lord. The seventh palace seems to have been responsible," the guard declared.

Mochen thought for a moment, pondering what to do next.

"Give the extermination order," Mochen declared coldly. "Not even a single one of them must escape."

"Yes, my lord." The crimson guard bowed before, with one smooth movement, disappearing into thin air.

Mochen's eyes were cold as he walked past the demon doctor, leaving the temple. Outside, a single elder was waiting for him.

The elder of the demon cult's war pavilion.

"Gather all the disciples, we'll be marching under the heretics soon."
