After the Villainess Proposed to Me - Chapter 44

“Morning Star, once I reveal your identity to the world, both witches and goddesses will unite against you, and you will surely find no place to die!”

Xia Yueyun sneered coldly, threatening him.

Despite her internal panic, she forced herself to remain calm, trying to intimidate him into backing down.

“Indeed, you’re right, wife. If everyone knew I was Morning Star, both the witches and the goddesses would probably want to eliminate me as soon as possible, wouldn’t they?”

Wu Chen sighed helplessly.

So what is going on here? I’m such a righteous figure, giving my all for humanity, even risking my life to go undercover among the demons. Why am I being hunted by the goddess faction with a bounty of a hundred million?

“Scared now? If you divorce me and annul our contract right now, I can promise not to spill the beans about this.”

Xia Yueyun patted her flat chest.

“I mean, don’t take me for a fool, okay? You and I are now bound by life and death, sharing our lives. Are you sure you want to tell others about this?”

“If I die, you die too. We’re like grasshoppers tied to the same rope.”

Among witches, infighting is not uncommon over the long years, and some witches have fallen.

The only reason humanity has been able to survive is that most of the time, witches have to guard their own palaces to prevent other witches from raiding them.

There’s even a historical account of Witch A raiding Witch B’s palace while Witch B was out, only for Witch B to have gone out to raid Witch A’s palace.

The end result was a complete tactical swap, with the two witches directly exchanging territories.

If Morning Star could be eliminated, neither the witches nor the goddesses would care about the Full Moon Witch’s life or death.

The witch faction would be happy to lose a competitor, and the goddess faction would be equally glad to lose a formidable enemy.

“……”

Xia Yueyun fell silent for a moment, cold sweat streaming down her face.

This flimsy sisterhood between witches… if she really spoke up, her life might truly be in danger.

“To betray my love, you’ve committed a debt of conscience…”

Xia Yueyun remained silent for a moment, then suddenly put on a pitiful, weak expression.

A mysteriously fitting BGM started playing in the background.

What the heck is “Love for Sale”? Do witches have such retro tastes?

“It was you who wanted to marry me in the first place. Now that we’re married, you want to use true love to trick me into divorcing~~”

“Enough with the fake tears. Trying to deceive me, the master of deception? You’re still hundreds of years too early.”

Wu Chen remained completely unmoved by Xia Yueyun’s cutesy act.

Her acting is terrible!

Almost as bad as today’s celebrity influencers.

“Tch, did it not work? How can a girl’s tears be met with such cold indifference? You scumbag!”

Xia Yueyun pouted.

“Hey, I’m being wronged here. You were the one who begged to marry me. Now, right after the wedding, you’re trying to get a divorce and even commit domestic violence. Aren’t you the real scum?”

“Ahhh! I really have to deal with you!!”

“I’ll fight you to the death!”

Xia Yueyun gritted her teeth, and the crescent moon reflected through the window transformed into a sharp scythe in her hand, swinging it towards Wu Chen.

“Clang~~”

A metallic clash echoed as the scythe struck Wu Chen’s neck with a force that could shake the heavens. Yet, it caused not even the slightest harm.

Instead, Wu Chen gently pulled, causing Xia Yueyun to lose her balance and fall onto his thigh.

The scythe dropped to the ground, wobbling a few times before becoming still.

Everyone, both above and below, saw clearly that she made the first move! This is called legitimate self-defense.

“Smack//Smack!!”

Wu Chen’s hands rose and fell, landing blows on the full moons of the witch.

“Yamete kudasai~~!”

Followed by a series of crisp sounds mixed with Xia Yueyun’s charming cries for help.

“You… you devil!”

“Even my mother never hit me like this!”

Xia Yueyun tried to push against Wu Chen’s thigh to get up, but he held her back with one hand, leaving her only able to wiggle her little butt, unable to move otherwise.

Her face turned bright red, feeling overwhelming shame.

“Why is it that every witch says the same thing after getting spanked?”

Wu Chen couldn’t help but tease.

“Did Litia also fall victim to your schemes?”

Xia Yueyun’s expression suddenly changed.

Litia is an eternal goddess among witches.

If Litia was deceived into marriage by Wu Chen, then the witches would indeed be in real danger!

“You scum! You want to marry two witches? Don’t you know that’s bigamy?”

“Don’t try to scare me. There’s no such thing as a law against bigamy in this world.”

“Even if there was, all I did was exchange rings with you. We never registered anything, so as long as it’s not a legally registered marriage, just a de facto relationship, I could marry as many wives as I want without it being a crime.”

“W-what!?”

Xia Yueyun’s face turned pale.

“So stop struggling. I won’t do anything to you. Let’s just consider this a simple contractual relationship. Once I achieve my goal, if you still want a divorce, I’ll be happy to end the contract immediately.”

Wu Chen released Xia Yueyun, helping her sit properly on the edge of the bed.

“What is your goal?”

Xia Yueyun adjusted her disheveled cheongsam and turned to look at Wu Chen.

“I plan to expel all the demons without leaving a single one behind!”

“Of course, except for you, wife.”

“Hmph, have you watched too much ‘Attack on the Demons’? Even in dreams, be a little more realistic. This is something that couldn’t even happen in a daydream.”

“That’s not necessarily true. If I can handle all the witches, humanity will win!”

To be honest, if it weren’t for these super-strong witches, the players would have led humanity to wipe out the demons long ago!

“Xia Yueyun, the human race asked me to pass on a message to you. If you’re willing to surrender to humanity, I guarantee that your latter years will be filled with wealth and luxury, and you’ll live a life of indulgence with plenty of gold tickets to your name!”
