After the Villainess Proposed to Me - Chapter 47

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

Litia blinked and asked with a half-smile.

“Could it be me?”

Sylvie had a sinister premonition and took a cautious step back.

The reason for her concern was that the goddess might indeed want to kill her.

As a fallen goddess who had become a demon, she could be considered a significant blemish on the goddess’s side.

“Hahaha, Sylvie, you’re overthinking it.”

Litia covered her mouth and couldn’t help but laugh. She hadn’t expected Sylvie to think it was herself.

“Now that you’re my subordinate, how could I possibly harm my own people?”

“Miss Sylvie, you’re also one of the victims of that villain. How could I possibly harm you?”

The deep voice of the Dragon Goddess echoed through the valley.

“A victim? Dragon Goddess, who exactly do you want to eliminate?”

Sylvie looked up, staring in surprise at the immense being before her.

“The one who betrayed all humanity and the goddesses, the most evil and shameless scoundrel in history—the legendary human lord Morning Star!”

The giant being before her lifted its head, and a deafening roar of a dragon echoed throughout the universe.

The surrounding mist was blown away, revealing its towering and majestic form.

It stood there as if it were a grand tower piercing the heavens and the earth.

Huh? You also have a grudge against Wu Chen?

Sylvie was momentarily at a loss.

What kind of situation is this?

“Hmph, to provoke two goddesses into such hatred, I’m curious to know what kind of person he is. I really want to meet him and fight him properly!”

Litia rubbed her hands with excitement.

Boss, you’ve already shared a bed with him more than once.

Sylvie’s mouth twitched slightly.

“Dragon Goddess, you too… Ahem, I mean, could it be that your desire to eliminate Morning Star stems from love turned to hate?”

Sylvie speculated about the reason for the intense hatred, her expression complex.

“Ridiculous! How could I harbor any affection for such a traitor? Do not speak such nonsense!!”

The Dragon Goddess’s mere emotional agitation quickened her breathing, causing the cool temperature around them to rapidly rise, as if they were suddenly in the sweltering heat of summer.

Really? I don’t think so…

Sylvie squinted her eyes. As someone who had been through this, she couldn’t shake the feeling that the Dragon Goddess’s attitude was quite suspicious.

“My actions are not driven by personal feelings!”

“He deceived countless goddesses, stole their treasures, and then defected to an unknown witch. By deceiving and mocking the gods, he became humanity’s greatest traitor. As the Dragon Goddess, I must eliminate him!”

“Sylvie, although you are a demon now, I am somewhat aware of your past deeds. You are also a victim and share the same hatred towards him. You are qualified to join our organization.”

The Dragon Goddess lightly waved her colossal claw, as large as a hill, presenting a crystal with specific mental magic contact information to Sylvie.

“An organization?”

Sylvie held the crystal, looking bewildered.

You have an organization?

“Yes, this criminal has committed numerous crimes, with many victims. Everyone is outraged and hopes to capture him and bring him to justice, removing this shame on humanity. The bounty of a hundred million platinum coins offered by the Goddess Council was crowdfunded by us.”

“Many victims?”

Sylvie blinked and her gaze became sharper.

She had lost contact with the human world when she fell into the demons and had no idea what had happened since then, nor was she aware of any organization.

“Is your organization called the ‘Avenger Wives Alliance’?”

Sylvie asked curiously, looking at the inscription on the crystal.

“Of course not! That name was just some nonsense nickname the Full Moon Witch came up with. It became so popular that people only remember the nickname.”

“In fact, if we mention the real name of the organization, no one recognizes it, so we had to go with this name.” The Dragon Goddess’s tone was resigned. “That Full Moon Witch… Once I get rid of my biggest nemesis, it won’t be too late to settle the score with her!”

The Full Moon Witch and Morning Star are together now. What a coincidence.

Sylvie was overflowing with the desire to comment but could not reveal any information about Wu Chen, so she had to keep quiet for now.

“By the way, Dragon Goddess, you’re the revered Guardian Beast of the Huang Empire. Is it really alright to collaborate in the witch’s territory?” Sylvie asked with concern.

Even though there was a reason for it, this was not something that would reflect well if it got out.

A revered guardian beast shouldn’t be involved in such matters.

“Ah, I’m no longer a Guardian Beast.”

The Dragon Goddess lowered her head and sighed, filled with bitterness.

As the Dragon Goddess sighed, the hot temperature around rapidly decreased, and the mist started to drift down as fluffy snowflakes.

“Is something wrong?”

Everyone knew that the dragon clan had close ties with the Huang Empire and that the Dragon Goddess was a protector of the Empire. So, why was this position no longer valid?

“The Huang Empire has completely broken ties with the goddesses. Now, the Visselia Alliance and the Eagle Federation are the two human nations under the goddesses’ control.”

“How could humanity have fallen out with the goddesses!?”

Sylvie was stunned.

How many pieces of information had she missed during her time as a demon?

“This matter is the fault of our side.”

“In the past, the goddesses strictly forbade any research into forbidden-level magic technology military units.”

“Following Lord Morning Star’s instructions, the Huang Empire, which conducted the most in-depth research into forbidden magical technology, could not tolerate the goddess’s decree. They continued their research and construction of related military facilities despite the pressure and threats… This was the beginning of everything.”

“The subsequent series of events, well, let’s not get into that…”

The Dragon Goddess’s massive head shook slightly.

“As a goddess, even though I was a guardian deity, my position became awkward due to the situation. If I did not leave, it would be as if I were opposing those goddesses who supported the ban. And since the Huang Empire had severed ties with the goddesses, they could not tolerate me.”

“The Emperor and the citizens understood my plight and did not make things difficult for me. After the retirement ceremony, I left.”

The Dragon Goddess recounted past events and recalled the scenes of that time, closing her eyes.

The daylight had instantly turned into a quiet night.

“In the end, we’re no different from the witches. We simply treat humans as slaves to rule over.”

The Dragon Goddess said with deep irony.

“If slaves had tools to break their shackles, we would be infuriated and want to take those tools away.”

“Witches feed on the negative emotions of humans, while goddesses feed on positive emotions. Ultimately, we are all just filthy parasites exploiting and draining humanity!”

“The dragon clan despises me for betraying human allies, and the Huang Empire can no longer be friendly with me. I am unwilling to return to the goddesses. I also cannot ally with the demons. Even my most trusted lover betrayed me!”

“This vast world has no place for me!”

“What I have now is just the obsession for revenge—for myself, for humanity, for the goddesses!”

The Dragon Goddess raised her head, and the deep, painful dragon’s roar echoed through the heavens and earth.

Most trusted lover?

Sylvie noticed a key point in the Dragon Goddess’s passionate speech.

So, you really did have a thing with Wu Chen?
