After the Villainess Proposed to Me - Chapter 46

“How can I escape this guy’s clutches?”

Back in her own room, Xia Yueyun hugged a large Doraemon stuffed toy, looking extremely dejected.

“Ahhh! If only I had a time machine!!”

She rummaged through the small pocket on the toy while rolling around incessantly.

In her view, losing her chastity was just a matter of time.

Although Wu Chen was acting like a gentleman now, she believed that men were all pigs and would eventually succumb to the temptation of such an alluring beauty like herself!

That’s how it always goes in those comics and action movies!

“If I had a time machine to go back before the marriage, I would make Wu Chen suffer through this a few dozen times… Well, it seems he’s an Apostle from that world. Could I have him accompany me as a slave to play games?”

Xia Yueyun began fantasizing about a victorious scenario.

“Pfft, finally, someone who can understand my jokes and banter back and forth—it feels kinda nice…”

Because she had learned strange languages from another world, she often blurted out phrases when talking to others, but the other witches and demons around her couldn’t understand what she was saying, making her feel incredibly lonely.

“Ugh, if only he were a demon too…”

Xia Yueyun clicked her tongue and lifted her hand, staring at the wedding ring she was wearing.

The heart-shaped gem, surrounded by a ring of tiny dragon teeth, set in a ring body made from a mix of mithril and dragon scales, looked extremely luxurious and noble.

“The secret treasure of the dragon clan—it’s said to have been given by the Dragon Goddess to her little lover.”

“Tsk, Wu Chen really has a way with scamming marriages.”

“If I could just remove the ring, maybe I could forcibly nullify the contract?”

No sooner said than done, Xia Yueyun immediately grabbed the ring and tried to pull it off.

But no matter how hard she tried, the wedding ring remained immovable and as secure as a fortress.

“Take this, [Moon’s Avatar]!!”

In Xia Yueyun’s hand, a strange, red crescent moon with a single pupil appeared.

In this world, when the moon rose at night, its surface would reveal a blood-red pupil that gazed upon the land, appearing fierce and mysterious.

No one knows the origin of the pupil; some humans speculate that the moon might be a living, unknown life form.

Xia Yueyun’s power, [Moon’s Avatar], allows her to use illusions to create a tenuous connection with the moon, drawing on its almost direct power.

However, even with a full-blown moon strike, the Eternal Dragon Heart Ring remained intact, showing no signs of damage.

“Ha… My power actually didn’t work. It’s not scientific.”

“What should I do now… Wait, I’ve got it!”

In her despair, Xia Yueyun stared at the ring on her hand and suddenly had a realization.

“How could I forget? I can use magic to defeat magic!”

The wedding ring, forged from dragon treasure, naturally came with the sacred technique of the dragon’s treasure that could strip away the protections of everything in the world.

Stripping all protection—basically, it could remove all clothing and armor from a person.

“This wedding ring should be considered a piece of armor, right?”

“[Holy Armor Removal Technique]!”

Xia Yueyun stood in front of the full-length mirror in her room and activated the ring’s inherent skill against herself in the reflection.

“Whoosh whoosh whoosh!”

A gentle, mysterious breeze blew by, and Xia Yueyun’s silk sleeves, black cheongsam embroidered with gold patterns, bra, and panties all fell to the ground, leaving only the ring and her white stockings still on.

“Why… I’ll accept the ring, but why are the stockings still on!?”

Xia Yueyun looked at her alluring white stockings in the mirror and couldn’t help but complain.

“What on earth is Xia Yueyun doing now?”

The soundproofing in the room wasn’t very good, and Wu Chen, lying on the bed downstairs, couldn’t help but show a subtle expression as he listened to the commotion upstairs.

From the sound of it, was she undressing?

This is amazing! Looks like from now on, sleeping together is going to be quite the pleasure.

“Speaking of sleeping, it’s a pity that Sylvie is not here.”

Wu Chen sighed helplessly.

He had originally planned to share the bed with Sylvie tonight, but she had sent a mental magic communication earlier, saying that Litia needed her urgently and had to leave first.

…

“Litia, what’s the urgent matter?”

In the territory on the third floor of the palace, a swarm of butterflies fluttered through the valley, eventually converging into the form of Sylvie.

Although she appeared respectful on the surface, she had inwardly cursed Litia a hundred times over.

Tonight, she had originally planned to secretly night attack Wu Chen, but it seemed that would be impossible now.

Moreover, she wasn’t sure how Wu Chen’s probing with the Full Moon Witch had turned out.

Even Wu Chen shouldn’t be able to fool the witch into marriage on their first meeting, right?

Impossible, absolutely impossible!

Litia, you owe me a wonderful night with Wu Chen!

“Sylvie, come over here. I want to introduce you to someone.”

Litia’s expression looked somewhat awkward and unnatural.

“Who is it?”

“Just this person here.”

Litia pointed to the side.

“Greetings, Empress of the Elves.”

A soft yet authoritative voice came from the sky.

“!!”

Sylvie almost lost her balance as she turned to look in the direction of the voice.

What she had thought was a towering mountain peak turned out to be a colossal being.

It was obscured by surrounding mist, making her enormous form difficult to see.

“Please don’t call me Empress, just Sylvie is fine. I haven’t been an empress for many years. But who might you be?”

Sylvie asked curiously.

She had heard that the third-floor guardian was not a demon, but someone with a unique and mysterious identity. This person also lacked any demonic aura. Could she be the legendary third-floor guardian of Litia?

“My identity is not important. I am just a heartless assassin, a vengeful spirit…”

“Emmm… So why did you call me here?”

Sylvie looked confused.

“Sylvie, come over here.”

Litia beckoned her over and simultaneously activated a mental communication spell to whisper.

“This is the Sacred Beast of the Huang Empire, who is also the ruler of the dragon clan in the human world—the true Dragon Goddess.”

Goddess!?

For someone like herself, a former goddess who had fallen into the ranks of demons and lost her divinity, working under a witch still made some sense.

But how could there be someone who was still a goddess, yet worked under the command of a witch?

“My relationship with her is not so much that of superior and subordinate, but more of an equal partnership. She guards the third-floor of the palace for me, but in exchange, I must help her eliminate a certain person.”

Litia said, showing a wry smile.

“Sylvie, guess who this goddess wants me to kill?”
