After the Villainess Proposed to Me - Chapter 48

Aha, I knew you had a thing with Wu Chen!

“Betrayed by a trusted lover?”

Sylvie quickly caught onto the key point and asked with narrowed eyes.

“What? The Dragon Goddess actually had a lover? Who is it? Tell me, tell me!”

Litia, who had entered gossip mode, also curiously urged for details.

“No! I absolutely refuse to acknowledge him as my lover! In my eyes, he’s already dead! I’ve long since given up on him!”

“Let’s not discuss this any further.”

“I have already seen through the mortal world and decided to live alone for the rest of my life. I will never look at another man again.”

The Dragon Goddess turned her head aside, stubbornly refusing to reveal any information.

Hmph, saying she is heartbroken and full of hatred, but who knows what face she’ll show when she sees Wu Chen?

She might even end up loving him again.

No one understands women better than I do.

As someone who has been through this, Sylvie had authority in this regard.

Wu Chen wasn’t truly betraying humanity; instead, he bore a great responsibility. If others who hate him knew this, they might change their minds.

The main thing was, she originally thought Wu Chen had only managed to win over one goddess—her. But now, it seemed like he had been charming multiple women all over the place!?

So he’s playing both sides, winning over both goddesses and witches?

Looks like when I get back, I’ll need to have Wu Chen explain himself properly.

I want to see what kind of excuse he comes up with this time.

Sylvie’s face naturally showed a “kindly” smile.

Wu Chen: Danger!

“Sylvie, I called you here mainly because the Dragon Goddess sensed the presence of the human lord, Morning Star.”

“Since you also have a grudge against him, why don’t the three of us capture him together?”

Litia extended the invitation.

What? They know Wu Chen’s whereabouts?

No! I have to go back and warn him to prepare early. Otherwise, if Litia finds out Wu Chen’s true identity, it’ll be over!

“Do you already know where he is?”

Sylvie asked nervously.

“Not yet. The trace of his presence was fleeting. To track this trace, we will need a day or two for calculations and divination.”

“We just came to inform you of this. Once the calculations are done, we will notify you through the crystal.”

The Dragon Goddess spoke softly.

“Alright, I’ll join the pursuit when the time comes.”

Sylvie nodded, feeling a bit relieved.

“That’s perfect! Although you are a demon now, since Morning Star is hiding among the demons as well, you are actually the best positioned to act. Your assistance is what we need most.”

“It’s just a small effort. By the way, what will you do with Morning Star after capturing him? Will you execute him immediately?”

Sylvie asked with concern.

“Execute? He certainly deserves to die, but to kill him so easily would be too lenient!”

“After capturing Morning Star, I will personally escort him back to the Dragon Clan’s holy land and imprison him there for a thorough interrogation!”

“I need to find out why he betrayed humanity, betrayed the goddesses, and betrayed me—ah, I mean, the Empire.”

The Dragon Goddess noticed she almost slipped and quickly corrected herself.

Tch, what thorough interrogation? I know your scheme. You just want to take Wu Chen back for yourself!

Imprisoning Wu Chen means you can play with him daily, be intimate with him whenever you want—so envious… Ugh! I mean, how despicable!

The Dragon Goddess can’t fool me!

Sylvie’s eyes gleamed with wisdom.

“The dragon clan’s holy land is far and could face unforeseen changes on the way. How about taking him to my Dark Elven territory nearby for a thorough interrogation instead?” Sylvie smiled.

“No, we will take him back to the Dragon Clan.”

“Let’s bring him to the Dark Elf territory instead.”

“Dragon Clan!”

“Dark Elf territory!”

Sylvie and the Dragon Goddess locked eyes with sharp glares, and for a moment, it felt like thunder and lightning were flashing and roaring.

“Alright, alright, why are you both so eager to fight over one human lord? Why not just capture him first and temporarily detain him here with me?” The witch Litia stepped in between them, playing the peacemaker.

“If that doesn’t work, we can use spatial slicing magic to divide him into three equal parts, with each of us taking one part to guard.”

The witch’s spatial magic is extraordinary because even though the space is cut, the material connection still exists. Even if divided into three parts, Morning Star can still survive healthily.

…………

“Achoo!”

Wu Chen, who was sleeping soundly on a soft bed, suddenly felt a chill and shivered, causing him to open his eyes wide.

What’s going on? Why did I just feel something terrifying?

“Wu Chen! Wake up quickly!”

Before he could think further, a familiar voice from Xie Yueyun came from the door.

She then rushed in, yanking the blanket off Wu Chen.

“Ah! What’s this big monster on you! What did you show me so early in the morning?”

As soon as she lifted the blanket, Xie Yueyun glanced and blushed deeply, quickly stepping back.

“It’s just a normal physiological phenomenon, no need to overreact.”

Wu Chen yawned, sat up, and put on the clothes that were folded beside him.

“Coming to my room so early, did you miss your husband?”

“Don’t think so highly of yourself! I don’t have a husband like you!”

“Ah! Try this move—Little Fist Fury!”

Xia Yuanyun’s face flushed red, and she jumped on top of Wu Chen, her fists, like small sandbags, pounding down on him like raindrops.

However, her punches which could easily make a big pit in the ground, made no sound at all when they landed on Wu Chen.

“So, what’s the real reason you came to see me? I have a lot on my plate and am quite busy.”

There are witches waiting for me to deceive them into marriage… I mean, to win them over. Wu Chen didn’t have time to waste.

“Anyway, if you want a spanking, just say so.”

“No, no! I came here to propose a wager with you! Let’s set up a pact under the Evil God’s contract!”

Hearing about a spanking made Xie Yueyun quickly take a few steps back, and after hesitating for a few dozen seconds, she gathered the courage to come closer again.

An Evil God Contract is a type of binding agreement, similar to a notarized contract.

If the contract’s terms are violated, it will bizarrely attract the influence of the Evil God, resulting in severe punishment, even for witches.

It’s a coercive rule established by the Evil God to coordinate affairs among witches.

Last night, Xie Yueyun stayed up all night, and after much thought, this was the only desperate method she could come up with.

Apart from setting up the Evil God Contract and relying on the Evil God’s coercive power to enforce it, she couldn’t think of any way to make Wu Chen truly divorce her.

“A bet?”

“If I win, you must divorce me!”

“No, thanks.”

Wu Chen waved his hand.

There’s no benefit in this bet, and losing means a divorce. What a ridiculous idea. There’s no way he would agree to it.

“If I lose, all rights to my body will belong to you. No matter how you play with me, I will not resist or complain, and I will obey you!”
