Chapter 351: Chapter 350: So quickly!

“That was the last batch…” Victor said as soon as he returned to his temporary base and handed Lily a list then collapsed on his foldable chair while Lin hurried to wipe the sweat off his forehead. “I think those are enough for now!” he added.

“Are you sure you want to include some of those tribesmen?” Lily asked as she looked at the book to her side and began striking out the names of the ones who refused Victor’s offer. “I don’t like them or their stupid beliefs at all!”

“I didn’t include any of them…” Victor said. “All those men refused my offer, screaming something about the moon god’s wrath!”

“Then what about those three… FLY OPFER, BEETLE OPFER and HORNET OPFER….” Lily asked.

“Those are women… Tribes women! They disguised themselves as men and entered this dungeon in an attempt to escape their miserable lives!” he said, feeling a little sorry for the girls who grew up in a tribe following a demonic doctrine of using women only as breeding material.

“And they fell into your hands!” Lily said.

“I promised to help them find a better life…”

“Working for you for an eternity?”

“It is a life…. And this emperor is not a bad boss!” Victor said. “I gave them storage rings with money and escape talismans so that they would be able to escape their tribes once they returned!” Victor said.

“Regardless… All that is left is the scions…” Lily said, sighing. Why are all men perverts?

“I already fixed most of them earlier, and I am not sure if any more is feasible… The only one left is Rain, who I didn’t get a chance to play any trick on yet…” Victor said. “Too bad, that guy is not on the battlefield, the demons had transported him to a cage in the central control chamber…”

“What? Why?” Lin asked in surprise.

“I already told you, he has a curse that makes demons want to eat him and get stronger… I think they are waiting until they get some new body before devouring him!” Victor said.

“Oh… Will he be ok?” Lin asked, making Victor slap her butt. “Ahhh!” she exclaimed.

“I am hurt… My little Lin is concerned about some other guy!” he said.

“I am not! I am just curious!” she pouted as she rubbed her butt. He was getting better at this.

“He will be fine…” Victor said, “Someone who has a lord’s blessing will not die easily!” he explained.

“What lord's blessing?” Lily, who was reviewing the new slaves' names on the documents, turned to him and asked.

“The death lord…” Victor said.

“WHAT! AND YOU ARE TELLING ME THIS NOW!” Lily exclaimed as she stood up in shock.

“Is it important? Perhaps… You know something about him…” Victor asked, looking at her warily. He was about to discuss those things before, but the moon dungeon’s appearance forced him to cut his meeting with the girls short.

Lily frowned, looking at Lin who was watching their exchange curiously before sighing.
“When I met Rain earlier I didn’t recognize him… But now that you told me about his blessing, coupled with him being one of Tulip’s companions I realized his identity!”

“What?” Victor asked curiously.

“Have you perhaps heard of the Deathly Lake incident? “ she asked as Lin frowned and looked at her. She had the feeling that both of them were hiding something from her.

“Isn’t it where 150 young men from all the prestigious families in the empire died?” Victor asked. “What does it have to do with Rain?”

“The guy who killed them although his identity is a mystery, all evidence points that he used some forbidden death skill to kill everyone there and then ran away!” Lily explained. “A skill that only those who have the despicable Death lord’s blessing can execute without dying!”

“You believe that guy is Rain?”

“It all fits…” Lily said, making Victor frown and then nod.

“Then we need to be wary around him…” Victor said.

“Did you read Tulip's fate? Was he mentioned?” Lily suddenly asked as Lin, who had a million questions, listened carefully.

“Yup… He and six others are meant to marry Tulip!” Victor said with a helpless smile, spanking Lin’s butt as he spoke. She knew that it meant that he would explain things later.

“Damn… My sister is a bitch!” Lily exclaimed. “She must be the one who helped hide him after she ran away… No wonder no one was able to find him!” she added to herself.

“This leaves a very important question… “ Victor said. “Why the fuck is everyone after Tulip…” he had to ask. Sure, Tulip was pretty, very pretty. But her personality, especially after the reckoning, was worse than a dog shit stuck to your shoe on a humid day…

“You mean you don’t know?” Lily exclaimed.

“No…” he shook his head.

“Tulip must have a lord’s blessing by now…” Lily said.

“Oh, about that… She has the Void Lord's Greater Blessing!” Victor nodded. “Rain also has a blessing… is it important? Isn’t it a function to grant the player some of the giving lord's skills?”

“It indicates other things depending on its ranking Lesser or Greater…” Lily said. “While a lesser blessing usually means that the blessing receiver is an agent for the Lord or being tested by him, a Greater blessing is reserved for special individuals like students of kin,” she said.

“Then… in Tulip’s case…” Victor asked as Lin, who understood nothing of what they talked about, looked at Lily.

“The Void lord is Tulip’s Master!” Lily said directly, “And from what I heard, she plans to make Tulip the lord after her. I think she is very sick for some reason and is about to die… Tulip is her chosen heir!”

“Oh… OHHHHHHHH!” Victor exclaimed… This explains many things.

“What is a lord?” Lin suddenly asked.

“Think of it like a very powerful otherworldly overlord… “ Lily said. “They seem to have very little interest in fighting for hegemony, so no one really knows what they are after… But it is usually better not to get involved with them!” she said

“Oh…” Lin frowned, then nodded.

“Then we have a couple of problems…” Victor said.

“What? Did you make Tulip pregnant?” Lily asked sarcastically, earning herself a slap to the butt.

“Not exactly…. I made her my blood slave….”

“WHAT!” Lily exclaimed again.

“I couldn’t help it… The chance was there, and if I didn't at least try I would not be able to sleep!” he said. “I was planning to control her the same way I did with Tom, but I know it is wrong now, so to avoid being discovered I will only use it to monitor her….”

“I will teach you how to sleep, you pervert peeping bastard!” Lily attacked Victor intending to bite this sleazy bastard again, but he quickly held it off. He was still stronger than her!

“You put your blood in her fruit right?” Lin asked slowly as she watched them play with some jealousy. She had to confess, the chemistry between those two was perfect!

“Yup…” he nodded.

“Then both of you think the same way… Lily also did something to Rain’s fruit…” Lin explained.

“What?” Victor asked, making Lily who was futilely shooting Lin some glares to stop talking, quickly stepped back trying to escape but it was too late, he grabbed her and pulled her on his lap then slapped her butt. “What did you do to him?” he asked.

“Just a little something…” she blushed and looked away earning herself another slap.

“Ahhh…”

“What?” he asked again. Feeling a little jealous.

“It’s a secret…” she puffed her cheeks making Victor frown. “It has to do with my family…” she added reluctantly.

“...” Victor sighed. “Just make sure to be careful…” he said as he let go. He knew he couldn’t fully control Lily or know all her secrets. But he didn’t like that.

“Um…” she said as she stood up before her butt received a third slap.

“AHHH… WHY?” she asked.

“I felt like it…” he said, pouting and making her glare at him then smile after realizing he was jealous.

“What other problems do we have?” she finally asked. “Your reaction earlier must have not been only about Tulip!”

“It is about this girl I met earlier…” he pointed at a name on the list with an asterisk next to it.

“Tear Bloodking?” Lily asked. The name didn’t ring any bells.

“Yup… This girl has the Blood Lord’s greater blessing!” Victor said in a worried voice. “And she entered this place knowing fully well it is a Bastion! She must be after something!”

“What?” Lily raised one eyebrow.

“I have a vague idea… But this is within my plan… “ he said with a nervous smile, he was not really sure, but he had to do this. “I might get a very nice Lord after my ass after this…” he added, making Lily frown as she looked at him worriedly.
