Chapter 2025: Bewitched

Liu Ning quickly said, “The main army of the Second Prince vanished into thin air, but no monsters emerged from the sealed land. Of course, the Second Empress’ side wasn’t willing to risk anything, so she immediately headed over with her main army.”

“Is there any more information?” Zu An asked, finding the situation a bit strange. How could the Second Prince’s massive army disappear just like that? Besides, the monsters inside would normally have rushed out after they disappeared. The current situation seemed a bit off somehow.

“There’s nothing else. What should we do now?” Liu Ning asked.

“We need to gather reinforcements from our side as quickly as possible and be ready to head out to help at any time,” Zu An said, his expression grave. If no one was watching over the sealed land anymore, that would be a huge disaster.

“Alright,” Liu Ning said. She also understood the severity of the matter. If those monsters really crossed over and occupied the Fiend races' territory, it could pose a threat to the human race’s very existence. She added, “By the way, did you deal with the affairs on that side yet?”

“It’s almost done...” Zu An said, then gave her a summary of what happened at the Devil Sect.

Liu Ning clicked her tongue in wonder as she read the contents, replying, “Those monsters are no longer invading on a large scale, and are coming in secretly instead. It really is hard to guard against...”

“You’re right," Zu An said. He was really worried too, but he couldn't think of any good methods. “I won’t return to the capital, and will head straight to the north instead where the Fiend races’ sealed land is, to see if I can minimize casualties.”

“You have to be careful!” Liu Ning replied worriedly. Even though Zu An’s cultivation was extremely powerful, that was only relative to the humans of this world. These were a foreign world’s monsters they were dealing with here; they were all extremely powerful, with strange abilities that were almost impossible to prepare against.

When he sensed her concern, Zu An felt warm inside. He said, “Don’t worry, I will.”

“Sigh... I’ve been looking forward to your return and enjoying our time together, but this damned thing happened. It seems I won’t be getting what I want for quite some time," Liu Ning remarked. At present, she was soaking in a bath. Her beautiful arms moved gently across the water, her fingertips running across her skin. When she thought back to the joy Zu An had brought her in the past, she unknowingly released a moan.

“I'll definitely return to the capital as quickly as I can,” Zu An promised.

When he thought about Liu Ning’s incredible beauty, and how with her new unique Empress Dowager identity, they could add even more tricks to their fun, he couldn't help but feel a flame burn within him too. Even so, he quickly calmed himself down. There were still more important affairs to take care of. He couldn't let himself be distracted by these feelings.

Meanwhile, there was someone else nearby who was infatuated with Liu Ning. Even though she was doing her best to suppress her moans, how could it escape the ears of Eunuch Lu outside? When he heard that voice, his entire body felt a bit limp. A hint of regret flashed through his eyes. It was a pity that the regent wasn’t here, or else he would be able to feel refreshed again.

Suddenly, a lesser eunuch ran over. Eunuch Lu frowned and stopped him before taking him aside, hissing, “Do you not know the rules? No eunuchs are allowed to approach when the Empress Dowager is bathing.”

The lesser eunuch smiled apologetically and said, “I naturally understand. Eunuch Lu is the only one in the entire palace who has this special honor. I actually came because I had something to report to Eunuch Lu.”

Eunuch Lu frowned. He had some impression of this lesser eunuch. The latter had always been cowardly in the past, so why was he suddenly so calm and composed in front of him? When he thought of that, he didn’t hesitate. He grabbed the lesser eunuch’s neck with a hand like a falcon’s claw.

Perhaps because the woman he adored since he was young had received the regent’s nourishment, he was also greatly satisfied. As of late, his cultivation had made great progress, and he was even close to recovering the strength he had before he was crippled. Such a sudden assault on a lesser eunuch should have been extremely easy.

However, the lesser eunuch was able to mysteriously evade. A strange smile appeared on his face as he said, “Eunuch Lu is extremely careful as expected. You actually immediately noticed that there was something wrong with me.”

“Who are you?” Eunuch Lu asked as he attacked again. This time, the lesser eunuch didn’t dodge and allowed himself to be grabbed. Then, a blast of power erupted from Eunuch Lu's palm, sending destructive power into the lesser eunuch's body. Regardless of who it was, he would cripple them first, then interrogate them after.

The lesser eunuch’s body cracked and rattled before going limp. Immediately after, a bowl-sized spider suddenly shot out from his lower back.

“The Heart-Devouring Demon Spider?” Eunuch Lu exclaimed, his expression changing. After the intelligence from the War Priest's invasion circulated, he had naturally learned about the monsters. Even so, its strength seemed to be a bit lacking.

“Wait, I came here today with sincerity!” The Heart-Devouring Demon Spider quickly showed its limbs in surrender while speaking with its mouth.

“What sincerity?” Eunuch Lu asked in surprise. He really couldn't figure out just what these monsters would want from him. It wasn’t a bad idea to get some more intelligence from them first.

“During the time I spent inside this lesser eunuch, I was observing Eunuch Lu. I’ve developed a degree of understanding as to what Eunuch Lu likes,” the Heart-Devouring Demon Spider said with a grin.

Eunuch Lu’s expression changed. He prepared to attack.

The Heart-Devouring Demon Spider dodged backward while quickly saying, “Eunuch Lu, please don’t misunderstand! I didn’t come here to make fun of you, but rather to help you!”

“Help?” Eunuch Lu harrumphed. “How will you help me?”

“The reason why the eunuch has your fetish is because you have no choice. After all, a eunuch’s body is deficient. Unable to take action yourself, you can only entrust your feelings to another,” the Heart-Devouring Demon Spider explained, then offered, “But what if I could help you redevelop that part?”

At first, Eunuch Lu was furious. He was about to attack, but when he heard the last part, he was stunned. He asked, “What do you mean by 'redevelop'?”

The Heart-Devouring Demon Spider gave his lower body a look and said, “To turn you into a real man again, of course. The bodies of you humans are especially weak. Even if you cultivate to a high level and obtain stronger regeneration abilities, those are still too far lacking compared to what we monsters have.”

Eunuch Lu became quiet. In the past, his cultivation had been extremely high, so even if 'that' was removed, he could still recover. However, the eunuch selection of the palace was extremely strict, let alone the fact that someone as domineering as Zhao Han had always watched everything carefully. The palace had castrated him with a special method and drugs that forever crippled him.

The Heart-Devouring Demon Spider’s voice now carried a mysterious hint of allure as it said, “This might be impossible for your world, but for the monsters of our world, it poses no difficulty at all. Our tens of thousands of species of monsters all have powerful reproductive abilities. Helping you recover your fifth limb wouldn’t be hard at all. You would then become a true man, and you could do whatever your heart wished to the woman you love. That would bring you true joy! Wouldn’t that be much better than to entrust the deed and the joy to another man?”

Eunuch Lu was a bit moved. He asked, “Do you really have a way to help me recover my manhood?” This chapter was originally shared via --Bi(j)n.

When it saw his reaction, the Heart-Devouring Demon Spider immediately revealed a pleased smile. After hiding in this world for some time, it had been able to grasp all kinds of weaknesses of human nature. This Eunuch Lu was indeed very loyal, and so any other method would never work. However, he would never refuse such a condition. It said, “Of course. For example, the Demonic Motherbug could just take a bit of your flesh and help you completely regrow that part. Then, it could use a special method to transplant it back to you. Wouldn’t you be back to normal then? Don’t worry, it would be made from your flesh, so it wouldn’t be any different from your original part. Except, of course, for the fact that you'd become even stronger. You’d become a man among men.”

When he heard its description, Eunuch Lu began breathing quickly. He asked, “Then why are you helping me?” He knew that there were no free lunches in this world.

Sure enough, the Heart-Devouring Demon Spider said, “I've been trying to find a way to get more of my companions into the bodies of the lesser eunuchs and maids. Since the selection process is quite strict, I need your help to get through the inspections and give them enough time to develop.”

Eunuch Lu’s expression changed. That would mean that one day, the entire Imperial Palace would fall under the control of these monsters.

As if seeing through his misgivings, that Heart-Devouring Demon Spider said, “Don’t worry, we need a human representative too, and we won’t touch the woman you like. You can remain perfect partners.”

Eunuch Lu sighed in relief, saying, “Alright. How will your companions come over? How should I work with you?”

When it saw him agree, the Heart-Devouring Demon Spider cackled. Sure enough, everything was going as planned.

Most of what it said was the truth. The only lie was that the 'thing' created by the Demonic Motherbug would also have the traits of the Demonic Motherbug. As long as Eunuch Lu entered the empress dowager’s body, it would pour the Demonic Motherbug’s seeds into her body. In that case, no matter how high the empress dowager’s cultivation was, she would be doomed to demonification. Furthermore, the empress dowager was one of the most influential people in this world. By controlling her, all of their plans would become much easier.

The Heart-Devouring Demon Spider moved closer to Eunuch Lu and whispered quietly, “That’s simple. You just need to...”

Eunuch Lu nodded continuously as he listened. Suddenly, his hand shot out as fast as lightning and grabbed its body.

Right before its death, the Heart-Devouring Demon Spider murmured with a look of disbelief, “Why...”

A hint of redness flashed through Eunuch Lu’s eyes as he said, “You fool. Compared to obtaining Ning’er, I enjoy the feeling of the most powerful man ravaging the woman I like much more. How could you possibly understand the beauty of that?”

The Heart-Devouring Demon Spider’s eyes widened as it exploded.

It’s not that I was incompetent, but that I never expected there to be such a strange and perverted human!
