After the Villainess Proposed to Me - Chapter 49

“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!”

Xia Yueyun spoke with a determined look in her eyes, as if she was willing to sacrifice everything.

“You’re daydreaming…The thing is, even if you resist now, what’s the point?”

Wu Chen was speechless.

Wife, you’re trying to get something for nothing here. Dream on.

“Who says resisting is pointless? Right now, I can still choose death over submission!”

Xia Yueyun lifted her chin proudly.

“Really? Then show me how you’d rather die than comply.”

Wu Chen said, pulling Xia Yueyun into his embrace and pinning her arms behind her back.

With this simple move, she found herself completely powerless, her delicate body squirming slightly, her slender legs wrapped in white stockings kicking and struggling, but there was no escape.

“Go ahead, I’m looking forward to your performance.”

“T-this is nothing! Even though my legs are weak and my hands are bound, I… I can still bite my tongue and end it all—mhmph…”

Before she could finish, Wu Chen’s hand, which had been resting on her stomach, quickly moved to grip her jaw and expertly stuffed a piece of cloth into her mouth.

“Mmmph, mmmph!”

Xia Yuanyun tried to speak, but her words were muffled. For a moment, panic flashed in her eyes.

“Come on, bite it. Bite it hard!”

【Hey, hurry up and let me go!】

After struggling for a moment, she remembered something and switched to using magic to vibrate the air to produce sound.

“Is that any way to ask for help?”

Wu Chen chuckled.

【Come on, Wu Chen, pleeease~~】

Xia Yueyun began to act coy in a cutesy voice.

This was clearly a veteran at work.

“Call me husband.”

Wu Chen removed the cloth from her mouth.

“Hu-husband…”

Though she hesitated for a moment, she still opened her mouth and said it with a red face, feeling humiliated.

“See? I let you go. I was just showing you that even if I wanted to do something, your ‘death before submission’ and all your resistance wouldn’t matter. That’s why this bet is something only a fool would agree to.”

Wu Chen released Xia Yueyun, allowing her to move freely again.

“Hmph, should I thank you for not being a beast?”

Xia Yuanyun huffed, still feeling indignant, but deep down she was relieved. She had truly been afraid that Wu Chen might lose control and take things too far.

Because of their marriage status, in front of Wu Chen, even though she was a witch with countless tricks up her sleeve, she couldn’t use any of them. She was just a poor, weak, and helpless girl.

“Wife, didn’t your mom teach you to be grateful?”

“You psycho, just because I’m a witch doesn’t mean I’m your wife! We don’t have that kind of relationship!”

“We have wedding rings. Isn’t that solid proof of marriage?” Wu Chen countered.

“You tricked me into it!”

“That’s where you’re wrong. It was clearly you who took the initiative. How can you call it a trick? If anyone was tricked, it was me.” Wu Chen smiled.

“You… You… Forget it! I’m not going to argue with you about that!”

Xia Yueyun knew she was at fault, having been blinded by her own desire for the power of the Evil God at the time. Now, she was in this predicament because of her own actions, and complaining wouldn’t change anything.

“More importantly, how about I sweeten the deal? I’ll add the ownership of this entire fallen territory into the bet.”

“If I lose, not only will I belong to you, but this land will be yours as well!” Xia Yueyun gritted her teeth as she spoke.

“That’s where you’re mistaken. This land has always been mine, when did it become yours?”

Wu Chen showed Xia Yueyun the [Land Certificate].

Now that the Full Moon Witch has become his wife, all he needed was to finalize the preparations, and he could reclaim this territory, restoring the legendary Dawn City from the past.

“Of course, as husband and wife, we share everything. My land is your land, and your land is mine too.”

“Half of my territory belongs to you, so naturally, half of yours belongs to me,” Wu Chen added with a smile. “So I’ve really suffered a huge loss!”

Xia Yueyun’s face turned pale.

Although Dawn City is a legendary-level human territory, it is ultimately a small domain.

In contrast, the Full Moon Witch’s palace encompasses many territories, with an area comparable to several former small human countries!

It’s like the difference between a lord and a king, a small white-collar worker and a wealthy woman.

I’m the wealthy woman! Xia Yueyun shouted in her heart.

“If land’s no good, then how about this: if I lose, I’ll go on a date with you. I’ll cook, clean—whatever you want. I promise to be a good wife and won’t try to run away or think about divorce.”

Xia Yuanyun, realizing her first plan had failed, came up with a new one. She leaned close to Wu Chen, her silver hair falling over her shoulders, her voice soft and enticing.

“No need for that. Even in demon society, men can share the household duties. We’ll take turns with the cooking and cleaning. No need to tire my wife out.”

Wu Chen said with a warm smile.

I’m a good man, after all! A scumbag? Not me!

“This won’t do, that won’t do. What kind of conditions would you agree to for this bet?”

Feeling frustrated, Xia Yueyun decided to ask Wu Chen directly.

“Let me think about it… Wife, do you have any particularly close or well-acquainted witches?”

Wu Chen stroked his chin, asking with interest.

“What… what are you planning?”

Xia Yueyun suddenly had a foreboding feeling.

“If you lose, and you’re willing to help me lure another witch, then I’ll listen to the contents of your bet.”

Wu Chen said calmly.

This is called developing new “undercover agents”. Now, the current “undercover wife” can help recruit new “undercover wives,” and eventually, witch wives will bloom everywhere.

“I’ve always been fair and just. Since one side of the bet involves your marriage, the other side should involve the marriage of another witch.”

Wu Chen used light magic to create an illusion of a balance scale with equal weights.

After forming the contract with the Full Moon Witch, his talents and skills in illusions began to advance rapidly.

“Pah! Dreaming in broad daylight!”

Xia Yueyun stood up, proclaiming with righteous indignation.

“I, Xia Yueyun, am a noble witch, a moral witch, a witch beyond lowly interests, a witch beneficial to the demon race! I would never engage in betraying a good friend!”
