After the Villainess Proposed to Me - Chapter 50

“I will not betray my good friends!”

Xia Yueyun resolutely refused with a sense of righteousness.

“Is it because they’re your friends, so I need to up the offer?”

Wu Chen squinted, rubbing his fingers together.

“Ugh! We witches are like sisters by blood! You think I’d harm my own sisters? Keep dreaming!”

Xia Yueyun held her neck high, showing a stubborn attitude.

“Sisters by blood?”

Wu Chen was momentarily stunned.

Now that he thought about it, Litia had mentioned that all witches shared a common Mother Goddess. So…

Your evil god really knows how to play the game. I’m so excited!

Nice job, Mother-in-law!

“I never thought the witches were all that close.”

Wu Chen smiled.

As far as he knew, witches aren’t exactly united. They would often play tricks on each other. How else could humanity survive for so long against this overpowered lot?

It’s less about humans battling the entire demon faction and more about the individual witch factions being at odds with each other.

Witches keep each other in check and rarely make bold moves. Even when they occasionally attack human territories, they don’t engage in prolonged battles, allowing slightly weaker goddesses to fend them off.

In extremely rare cases, witches might even ally with nearby human forces to temporarily counter other witch factions.

In this endless, chaotic war, the true MVPs attacking humanity are the Demon Kings and their army of demon beasts, not the witches.

“Tch, don’t compare me to other witches. I’m lazy and stay home playing games. I have no interest in any pointless fights.”

Xia Yueyun clicked her tongue and said dismissively.

“Since you’re so disinterested in fighting, how did Dawn City end up in your hands?”

“It wasn’t me who conquered it, nor did I want it. The witches collectively handed it to me. At that time, for some unknown reason, everyone wanted this territory and even fought fiercely for it, almost giving humans a chance for a major counterattack.”

“After much debate, the witches decided to hand the land over to me, the only one not participating in the conflict and just gaming at home, to end the meaningless struggle. I was just caught in the crossfire.”

Xia Yueyun explained helplessly.

Because she avoided conflicts and refrained from participating in disputes over benefits, she actually got along reasonably well with all the witches.

This “getting along” doesn’t mean a close relationship, but at least they wouldn’t bash each other’s heads in upon meeting.

The fact that she dared to enter the notoriously infamous Litia’s place was partly due to her role as the next witch tea party organizer and largely because she had never been hostile toward Litia.

It seems that the Full Moon Witch is indeed one of the most laid-back witches.

While playing the game, her forces rarely appeared in battles.

Whenever the Full Moon Witch appeared, it was always to visit various human city-states, where she would use fake quests and charm to trick players into giving up their precious items.

Gamers had seen players mess around with NPCs in games, but this was the first time they had seen an NPC turn the tables and toy with the players.

The Full Moon Witch—unexpectedly terrifying! This woman must not be underestimated!

Good thing I married her first.

Thinking of this, Wu Chen couldn’t help but take a deep breath.

I really am a little clever devil.

“Anyway, if you want me to harm my good sisters, you’ve got the wrong person!”

Xia Yueyun snorted lightly, crossing her slender legs encased in white stockings like a coiled snake, sitting with an air of defiance as if completely unafraid of Wu Chen.

“The light of righteousness shines on the earth~~!!!”

Just as Wu Chen was considering how to continue coaxing Xia Yuanyun into helping him, the unexpected ringtone caught him off guard.

“Where’s that sound coming from?”

Wu Chen looked bewildered.

“Shh! Keep your voice down. It’s one of my witch friends calling!”

Xia Yuanyun hurriedly waved her hand, summoning a misty illusion that obscured Wu Chen from view.

Once she was sure Wu Chen was fully hidden, she reached into the fold of her cheongsam, from the waistband near her hip, and pulled out a small crystal stone.

“Hello, Xia Yuanyun, are you there?”

The surface of the crystal stone revealed a graceful, noble woman dressed in ancient Chinese-style clothing. Her figure was voluptuous, exuding elegance and grandeur. Her long, pale pink hair was intricately pinned to one side, adorned with various ornate hairpins and accessories.

On her slender hand, the faint shadow of a ring appeared, flashing with an emerald light.

“Feminist Witch, shouldn’t you be out fighting for justice? Why are you contacting me now?”

“I’ve told you a hundred times, I am the Matriarch Witch!”

The beautiful woman’s eyes flashed with a hint of arrogance.

Matriarch Witch—hearing this title made Wu Chen start to recall scenes from the game.

Her dungeon palace was divided into four floors.

Both human and demon areas had social structures that were completely different from the outside world.

The first floor was a world where gender roles were reversed.

The second floor was a world where men served as humble servants to women, with women having supremacy over men.

The third floor was a country of women with no men present.

As for the fourth floor, Wu Chen got stuck at that point as a player and couldn’t proceed.

What exactly is in the fourth floor? I’m really curious!

“I heard from the Betrayal Witch that you went ahead of me to meet with the Mother Goddess’s envoy. Is this true?”

The beautiful woman snorted coldly, her expression barely hiding her beauty.

Tsk, I shouldn’t have been so hasty back then! Otherwise, it would have been the Feminist Witch who got tricked, not me!

Xia Yueyun regretted deeply but lamented that there was no remedy for regret in this world.

“Wu… The envoy doesn’t belong to you alone. Whoever is worthy shall have him,” Xia Yuanyun replied, hiding her bitterness and maintaining an air of nonchalance.

This marriage situation absolutely must not be exposed to other witches.

“So what’s the outcome? What did the Mother Goddess’s envoy think of you?”

The beautiful woman asked with a smiling face.

“None of your business!”

“Hahaha! From what I see, if you were successful, you would have already been eager to flaunt it to us other sisters. The fact that I had to contact you first means you failed, right?”

“But that’s quite normal. How could the Mother Goddess’s envoy be interested in someone with a flat figure like yours? You might as well change your name from Full Moon Witch to Iron Board Witch!”

The elegant woman, in her sheer, luxurious attire, waved her fan lightly and showed a playful smile.

“Stop laughing! I’ve tolerated you long enough!” Xia Yuanyun snapped, “Haven’t you heard the saying, ‘Only with a flat chest can one rule the world’?”

“Hahaha! Airport Witch, it’s my turn now. You can wait for my good news! Bye~~”

The Matriarch Witch covered her mouth, laughing uncontrollably, and then ended the crystal communication.

“That’s too much!”

Xia Yueyun clenched her teeth in anger and threw the crystal stone to the ground.

“Yeah! This woman is too detestable! Even if my wife has a small chest, I still love her!”

Wu Chen rolled up his sleeves, looking indignant, wishing he could immediately administer justice to the Matriarch Witch!

“Stop talking about small chests! You’re just rubbing salt in the wound!”

Xia Yuanyun blushed, instinctively covering her chest with her cheongsam.

“Hmph, Matriarch Witch, if you’re going to be heartless, don’t blame me for being ruthless!”

How did this friendship sink so fast?

“Wu Chen, I agree to your terms. If I lose, I will help you deceive and recruit another witch!”

How can I be the only one suffering?

If Wu Chen has more wives, he might be too lazy to bother with me!
