Chapter 147: It’s Like Food Wars!
Chapter 147: It’s Like Food Wars!
The fairy king analyzed Vermeil up and down like he was trying to see into the depths of her very soul.
She was one of those special ones… the energy down to her core was not from this domain.
In addition, he could feel that she had been touched by a great god.
But still…
"You expect me to believe that all of these slaves are yours? I don't believe I've ever seen a such a large number of high level fallen cultivators be enslaved."
Vermeil put on her best manhwa villainess demeanor as she smirked proudly.
Her golden eyes twinkled like crystallized stars and her hair began to float above her head.
"Do you… doubt my ability?"
A column of power was blew out of Vermeil's body and pierced the sky above like a golden arc.
The pressure within the air seemed to come down on the shoulders of everyone present.
Immediately, the fairy king's eyes narrowed even further.
This girl was extraordinarily powerful for her age, with a potential that he hadn't seen in a very long time.
He surveiled the assembled fallen and realized that she was certainly capable of subjugating everyone here if she felt like it.
However…
"That dragon and those kitsune over there… Are they yours too?"
Vermeil's smirk grew wider. "You three! Present yourselves properly!"
There was a strong gust of air and Taira, Lucia, and Keran appeared in front of the fairy king with their heads lowered.
As a species, Lucia was the most impressive, but he couldn't help but find greater interest in Taira.
Likely because he could sense nothing from him at all, almost as if he wasn't there.
But he still seemed dangerous.
The fairy king's instincts were screaming to him that the enormous bolts of lightning from earlier were this man's doing.
"These fallen of yours… why do I smell them all over you?"
"Isn't it obvious? They are my personal pleasure slaves!"
To really sell the illusion, Vermeil slapped Taira and Lucia on the butt loud enough for their to be an audible clap.
Taira : 'My love… I will not forget this.'
Lucia : 'W-Why did you have to hit it so hard! I almost made a weird sound!'
Keran : 'Fucking hilarious.'
Aja : 'I will never let him live this down.'
Ayame : 'I'm so jealous...'
Evidently, the fairy king did not hear the thoughts that plagued the minds of everyone in the clearing.
"Feeding Kitsune and Nogitsune with sex… this is a dangerous gamble, human."
"You needn't worry, sir!" Taking the lie one step further, Vermeil grabbed Taira by the head and pulled him down to her height.
Like a vixen, she playfully swirled her tongue around his ear as she inserted her hands into the crotch of his pants.
"Taira here does whatever I tell him to because he's addicted to the pleasure I give him… isn't that right, sweet boy?"
Act or no act, the foxkin was not a man made of stone.
He had weaknesses, and Vermeil was exploiting them methodically!
His red eyes glowed with a special, drunken glow and he lowered his ears in a somewhat subservient gesture.
"That is correct… mistress."
'We're going to have a very long and intimate conversation later…'
*At this moment, Vermeil discovered her fetish for role play after fifty years of marriage.*
Degeneracy aside, the fairy king cleared his throat as he tried to get the two secret lovebirds to stop making him uncomfortable.
"Your pleasure machinations are your own business and have nothing to do with me. However, I demand an explanation for why you are making a mess out of my sacred home!"
"Ah, right, right! Sorry, I am here to invoke… umm… Sha-So-Vert? Did I say that right? Sorry, my fae is kinda terrible." Experience new stories on m v|l e-NovelFire
The pupils of the fairy king and the young women behind him trembled.
"How do you know of our customs, human? They are supposed to remain privy to only us!"
"I'm a big historian and I like to study people… their cultures, their ways of life, significant events… it interests me.
I apologize for ruining your lake and I'll have my slaves refill it, but your domain is quite large and ever-changing, so I thought this would be a faster way to get your attention.
I have brought you a wonderful offering, King Daraxerxes. I am sure you will find it most worthy of a single favor."
The fairy king's eyes glowed intensely as he brought his face dangerously close to Vermeil's.
Taira's heart began to beat uncontrollably in his chest as he resisted every urge to kill the fae outright.
"You perhaps overestimate yourself, little human.
I have been offered mountains of gold, jewels, cultivation arts, and no small amount of concubines to service me fervently, and none of it was worth more than the privilege to lick the soles of my feet.
What could you possibly have that would interest me in the slightest?"
Finally, they had arrived at the pivotal moment of this whole charade.
Reaching inside of her storage ring, Vermeil pulled out an item wrapped in plastic wrap.
Immediately, Daraxerxes raised a brow as he stared at the strange item pulled out from nowhere.
"It's no gold or jewels, but I like to think it has its own value that is just as meaningful." Vermeil said proudly.
Gradually unwrapping the strange item, Daraxerxes no longer scrutinized it as aggressively as before and instead stared in wonder.
"What.. is this amalgamation?"
"Little something from my home down south. It's called Red Velvet Pound Cake."
Vermeil created a small butter knife out of solid ice and held it out for the fae to take.
"…How is it you know of fae disposition for sweets?"
"Didn't I tell you? I'm a historian."
"Yes, yes… I dont see what the value could possibly be in this ugly thing, but I will try it if only to get you out of my forest quicker."
"Cool! Have at it."
"Ugh.."
Daraxerxes cut a relatively small sliver of cake, almost as if he wasn't keen on ingesting it at all.
Surely, this concoction that looked like it was dyed by blood and would taste just as unappetizing.
However, the white icing on top was at least… somewhat appealing.
'I will eat this end first.'
Using his slightly feminine fingers, the fae raised the cake to his perfect lips and took a cautionary bite.
His eyes went as wide as twin moons, and he took another.
And another.
In three bites, he had finished the piece of cake without ever leaving a single crumb behind.
The forest fell silent for a few short seconds, until a radiant golden light oozed out of the fairy king's pores and his face made a particularly degenerative expression.
"Ooh, ahh! Ugh! I-It's.. WONDERFUL!!"
His wings practically doubled in size, and a noticeable hard on could be seen through his baggy pants as he floated off of his feet like it was a scene from the rapture.
Out of nowhere, a red bandanna appeared on Vermeil's forehead and and her air of superiority returned.
"Heh. You're welcome!"
Taira : 'What are you doing?'
'N-Nothing, it's stupid, just forget it…'
Taira: 'Your headband looks very cute, my darling.'
'Aww, thank you sweetie.'
Taira: 'I will use it to tie your hands behind your back later.'
'O-Oh, okay~…'
