Chapter 23: No More Nice Face for the Demon Lord! (Serious)
"Holy crap?!"
Looking at the bright red, eye-piercing, and even slightly flickering [100%] on her mobile phone screen, Lilith was completely petrified.
"One hundred percent? It's already full?!"
The hand holding the mobile phone trembled slightly.
"Haven't I only known him for a day? At most, it's only been a few dozen hours! This favorability rating isn't right, is it?"
"Doesn't he just see me as a servant? How could there be such a 'until death do us part' value? Is the app bugged?"
Lilith instinctively wanted to deny this fact.
But when she calmed down and glanced at that cold and handsome Demon Lord out of the corner of her eye, something seemed to suddenly click in her head.
First, he was a lonely old man who had been sealed for a full three hundred years. During those three hundred years, how empty, lonely, and cold must he have been!
To relieve his loneliness, he consumed his magic power to summon the thing he desired most—a perfect servant with formidable strength, exquisite looks, and a hot body.
Not only that, but this servant could also conjure up peerless delicacies he had never tasted, help him solve puzzles that gave him a headache just by looking at them, and even let him hold her in his arms like a soft pillow while he slept... Most importantly! This perfect servant also took the initiative to confess her love, willingly becoming his fiancée! She was even willing to bear his children!
"Damn it—"
Lilith clutched her head in horror.
"Thinking from his perspective, if I were Asmodeus and such a top-tier girl fell from the sky, I wouldn't be able to control myself either!"
"So it's actually my own fault!"
After understanding everything, Lilith was terrified! Looking at that bright red 100%, she reflected on her mistakes and made a solemn vow on the spot:
"No! It can't go on like this!"
"If the Demon Lord's favorability stays this high, he won't let me go even after we leave the labyrinth!"
"Yes, from now on, I need to change my strategy! I'm no longer that little Succubus who only knows how to act cute and spoiled—I want to be a cold and aloof female Demon Lord, and I'll give him the cold shoulder! I will absolutely never give Asmodeus a nice face again!"
"It's settled!"
"Lilith."
Just as she thought this, Asmodeus's voice drifted over faintly.
He obviously didn't notice Lilith's internal drama; he just looked ahead and said indifferently:
"If you've rested enough, let's go. We need to find Hill."
To this, the Succubus servant's reaction was:
"Okey-dokey~ Lord Demon Lord~ I'm coming right now~"
She responded in a high-pitched, sweet voice, running towards the Demon Lord happily;
Then, halfway there, she suddenly gave herself a hard slap across the face!
Slap—
...Finally, the two officially set off.
The White Labyrinth was still eerily quiet.
Asmodeus walked in front while Lilith followed behind. The two turned through the intricate passages but failed to find any useful clues.
Not long after.
Zzzzt, zzzzt—
From the corner ahead, a dozen giant Moths of Light suddenly flew out!
The face patterns on their wings were hideous and terrifying, emitting a nauseating wave of magic power as they lunged straight at the two.
"Trash."
Asmodeus's eyes turned cold, and he was about to raise his hand to wipe them out.
However, a black afterimage was even faster than him!
"A small matter like this doesn't require Lord Demon Lord to act~"
Lilith took a step forward, shielding Asmodeus.
Although she spoke complimentary words, her gaze was incredibly sharp, and a wild, cruel grin curled at the corner of her mouth:
"Heh heh, I was just wondering where to vent all this frustration!"
"I can't deal with the Demon Lord, but can't I deal with you little punks? Die, you small fry!"
[Seventh-Tier Magic: Purgatory Thorns]
Boom!
Lilith's white hair danced wildly. With a casual lift of her hand, several pitch-black magic spikes erupted from her shadow, instantly piercing through the dozen moths and pinning them to the wall like candied haws on a stick.
Whoosh—
The moths pinned to the wall instantly burst into raging flames and were quickly burned to ashes.
An instant kill!
Having finished this, Lilith tossed her hair, feeling a surge of secret satisfaction in her heart:
"Is this the power of the Ninth Rank Peak? The feeling of controlling such power is amazing!"
"Well done, Little Meow."
Asmodeus's voice, carrying a hint of surprise and praise, came from behind her.
Hearing the praise, Lilith subconsciously turned her head and gave the Demon Lord a brilliantly bright and overly sweet smile, her tail wagging behind her.
But the next second.
Her smile froze on her face.
"Damn it!"
"Didn't I agree not to give Asmodeus a nice face? What am I doing! Why can't I ever control myself!"
Realizing this, Lilith quickly pulled back her smile, turned her head away, and put on a tsundere, cold expression:
"Hmph~"
She crossed her arms and tilted her chin high, trying to look down her nose at him to display her "aloofness."
To this, Asmodeus blinked in confusion.
Looking at Lilith, who had been smiling like a flower just a moment ago but now suddenly had her lips pouted in a tsundere expression, he thought for a moment and then seemed to understand something.
"So that's how it is?"
The Demon Lord nodded in understanding, stepped forward, gently placed his hand on top of Lilith's head, and then gave it a doting rub.
"Alright, alright, here's your reward. You did very well this time."
"Ugh! Th... Thank you, Lord Demon Lord~"
Almost the instant his palm landed, Lilith's so-called "aloof defense line" collapsed completely.
She narrowed her eyes comfortably, her head uncontrollably pushing upward to nuzzle against Asmodeus's palm with her cheek~
But soon, her eyes widened again! She screamed in horror in her heart:
"Me! What am I doing!"
"This Succubus bloodline is way too much of a trap!"
