Devouring Monarch: Rebirth of the Profane Phoenix - Chapter 394

Chapter 394: A Visit to the Club – Part Two

The pair enjoyed the huge amount of dishes, with Asura eating some dishes he thought looked disgusting, but the spices and sweet kick of the potatoes and meat curry were delicious, while it seemed Rasha loved to eat meat, no matter if hot, sweet, tarty or barbecued. Asura could only smile bitterly at how often he needed to wipe her loverly lips clean.

Asura enjoyed the reactions of Rasha and the different music she seemed to like or dislike, shown through the reaction of her limbs or the speed her legs tapped the table or floor.

He noticed she seemed to act a little strange. Her hips kept moving, and she looked a little embarrassed. Rasha’s cheeks were painted red with sweat dripping down them.

“What’s wrong with you, Rasha? Are you sick?”

Rasha’s body jolted up. She stood up and started dancing as if trying to distract Asura from the fact her hips were shaking, her knees bent, and her hands covering her face. “No…”

“Hmmm?”

Asura felt strange, but then he noticed the five cups of cocktail beside her empty plates, and realised that she probably needed the bathroom and was a little drunk but not drunk enough to announce to him that she needed the toilet.

“Do you need to use the little spider’s room?” Asura made a little joke, realising he was slightly drunk and placed his hand on his cheek, feeling the warmth of his face.

Rasha nodded, embarrassed that Asura realised she needed to pee. She tried to hold it in and crossed her legs. Her legs moved left and right, showing she was having trouble holding it in, so he nodded, then whispered in her ear the direction of the bathrooms.

Though they were in the VIP room, sadly, they only had a general set of VIP toilets in the bar. Maybe it’s something they didn’t think of, but most probably because bathrooms needed specific features and spots in a building to be built, especially using earth and water magic to automate the system of cleaning, flushing and freshening.

Rasha ran off. Her hips swayed left and right, showing she could not hold it in any longer, but her shyness made her seem a little cute; while Asura started clearing the table, he hoped she would be all right.

‘I hope there’s no trouble, and people often struggle to deal with things they don’t understand…’

Asura ordered some more drinks. However, these were two mugs of warm cocoa with spare iced water in a large cup so he could stop her from getting worse. He didn’t want to take advantage of her while she was drunk, and they needed to get back soon. The others were likely waiting up for them and might get angry if he stayed too long.

****

‘Ah… so embarrassing he knew!’

Rasha thought to herself as she rushed towards the toilets, using her human legs, desperately dashing into the toilets down the hall. She noticed several rooms with people filling them, like her and Asura, singing and dancing, and some were playing games, which she wanted to try when going back to Asura, so she made a note of the game and room.

“Hehe… although I shouldn’t, today has been so wonderful.”

Rasha skipped towards the toilet door. She turned the handle and pushed. Sadly, she was a little strong and slammed the door open. Her leg shook, and she realised she couldn’t hold it in. And there was no other female in the room.

So she climbed onto the toilet and did her business.

While sitting there, the door slammed open, and she froze, her lips closing tight and eyes watching their movements while clinging to the walls with her spare legs. Rasha did this because they startled her with the loud noise, and then the clack of their heels sounded as the two women began to gossip near the sinks.

Rasha relaxed and realised they were human, but their words were rude.

“Did you see that handsome guy who looked a little like the prince earlier? Why would he enter this place with a dirty monster? I can’t believe there is one here. I mean, what is a spider doing imitating the appearance of a human woman in the first place… look at those eyes and legs, aren’t they disgusting like finding a bug while cooking….”

“Shush, the owner will kick you out because that was the prince himself! I mean, yeah, they are disgusting, but the prince seems to have a monster fetish; his women, apart from the princess, are all freaks; one turns into a strange ice statue, and the other is a dragon or phoenix. It wouldn’t surprise me if all the women he walks around with are filthy monsters or freaks.”

‘Eh?’

Rasha felt depressed hearing their words.

‘They don’t like my eyes or legs… and why is there any issue with him being with different races?’

Rasha was sad because they insulted her and Asura’s other women, calling them freaks and filthy. She didn’t know what the other two looked like, but she knew Xavida had beautiful scales, and the beautiful blue skin of Mu Xue was enchanting, not to mention the exquisite feathers of Lorem and Helliana.

It wasn’t the first time her figure as an Arachne was insulted, but to hear it and be told she didn’t deserve to stand beside Asura somehow made her chest feel tight. She expected nothing from him, but tonight was so fun she considered they could become at least close friends and do this together a few more times before she left…

“Do you think he is going to date her, that spider girl?”

“Hahaha, no way, let’s go back to our room; talking about monsters gives me the chills.”

“Haha, me too; let’s go… I wonder if that good-looking guy will ask us back to his place tonight; he said he was a noble, after all.”

Rasha heard the footsteps move towards the door and the slam as they closed the door.

She sat there for a moment before washing her hands and then exiting the room.

“Humans are weird… I thought they would treat Asura differently because he is the prince. How can they say such things about him and his other women… hmm… am I jealous…” Rasha realised she felt lonely.

Rasha returned to Asura; she washed her hands, ignoring the looks and the whispers of others.

“Ugh, she is a spider.”

“Oi oi, who let a monster roam the streets and enter our club?”

It was at that moment she, once again, ran into the two women, who were with a bunch of doubtful-looking men, who started to leave their room and gazed at her with mixed looks.

“Ah… is Asura not back yet… I better return and not bother these humans any longer…”

However, they stepped in front of her path, blocking her way, forming a ring around her body, while comments about her human features being at world level.

“Her face is top-level; even the princess is inferior, right?”

“Ah… but not just that, is this body created with magic? Look at the perfect curve of her hips and that huge ass. No wonder the prince likes monsters and divine beasts.”

“Eh… let’s invite her to our room and have a bit of fun with her. She is a monster, so she should be okay.”

Rasha’s face turned pale. She felt their disgusting gazes and realised their intentions, yet when she compared them to when Asura flirted with her and touched her.

It was the difference between night and day; she felt tingly and strange when Asura spoke lewdly towards her, yet these filthy people who abused her made her feel sick… as a cold sweat dripped down her back.

‘This… this is not good… I should run away… I can’t cause trouble for Asura; he was so kind to me tonight; knowing I am upset, he went out of his way to treat me to this fun date!’

“Eh… no… let go…” Rasha shouted, feeling one man’s arm wrap around one of her black legs, causing her to feel disgusted.

“Woah, I thought they’d feel nasty, but it’s so smooth and sleek, yet firm…”

“Hey, let go; I don’t like you guys… ah… Asura help…”

“Hey, keep quiet; monsters should be quiet and obey their betters!”

“Yeah, she is a monster, and we are humans, so why should she be allowed to enter our place? Let’s show her the power of human–”

“Oh, the power of humans, is it?”

Rasha froze when she heard a familiar voice, and then she noticed Asura, who stood a few steps away from the group. But his face… it terrified her a little because his smile was darker than a moonless night.

“Hey, who are you; get lost; this spider monster is our toy.”

“Toy, is it? That’s funny…” Before they even realised, Asura was standing holding Rasha in his arms, his hand wrapped around her buttocks and hips, with a strange smirk on his face that didn’t feel like a smile but an eerie look. His eyes were dark, the crimson dull, and seemed to lack light, with a look of disgust and hatred within.

“Ah, Asura…” Rasha’s face flushed red, feeling Asura’s hand on her butt; she found it embarrassing, yet his warm and gentle embrace made her feel secure, knowing he would not allow them to hurt her.

She could easily kill them all but didn’t want to make trouble for him in his kingdom.

“Idiot, if garbage like this insults you, just crush them…” His hand spanked her, causing the lovely Arachne to moan, while Asura’s eyes showed a hint of a crimson spark, and a terrifying aura surrounded him.

The group of humans froze before they could flee. They all slammed into the ground, their kneecaps cracking and bones shattering from the immense aura that Asura released.

He wasn’t some no-mag loser anymore. He was the prince and a powerful man who reached Stage Seven with the magic power of a Stage Eight mage and the body of a demigod.

“Wait, wait; we apologise… please forgive us… we were wrong… we were drunk… we didn’t mean…”

“Shut up… trash like you who look at her, a divine beast, and call her a monster deserves to die a thousand times…” Asura’s voice was low and deep and made their heads ache as if he filled each word with magic.

“Ah…”

“Please, we’re sorry; we didn’t mean…”

However, the words of the trash who insulted her were like a sharp knife, causing Asura’s magic aura to turn vicious and dark, and Rasha trembled a little, sensing the dense mana within before it started to make their lips and tongues bleed, hundreds of tiny cuts forming in their mouths and small ulcers soon appearing.

“As long as you don’t mean the words you speak and are insulting her in your mind, this pain will last for eternity.”

Asura carried her in his arms, the magic aura fading, yet the pain lingered in their mouths, and the group of trash who insulted Rasha cried in agony, begging for forgiveness, only for more blood to ooze from their mouths. It would not kill them.

However, they would suffer whenever lying or thinking hurtful words about another’s physical appearance.

‘Well, the spell only lasts a month, but that should be enough to change their minds, I hope. It also included badmouthing him or any member of the royal family, which covered them spreading rumours.’

“Ah… Asura, thank you; they scared me…”

Rasha buried her face in his chest and wrapped her legs around his waist.

“Haha, is that so—then shall we continue our date?”

‘Liar! I know for a face, if you wanted, just a single swipe of your rear leg, and that boy would die. Though I guess she held back for my sake, to avoid issues between our kingdoms.’

“Nn!”

Rasha looked like a cute and silly spider… But she was Stage Eight, at least, from Asura’s estimate, and that was both her magic and physical body; some monsters differed from humans, and it seemed her Arachne line also used a special cultivation technique, like him and the devil, phoenix or dragon race.

When she sat down, her hands grabbed the mug of cocoa, but her legs drooped, causing Asura to wonder what was wrong.

“It’s cold…” She whined while Asura shrugged his shoulders and then touched the mug, his hand activating his black flame for a second before the cup became the perfect temperature, along with the cocoa became hot once again.

“Better?”

“Nn!”

Rasha smiled, seeing Asura’s trick. She was curious but didn’t ask and enjoyed the cocoa.

“Hmm, this is good. I feel less dizzy now…”

“Good, let’s wrap some food up for the other, especially Yufa and head home, okay?”

“Okay~ I wanted to sing more, but we can bring Yufa next time instead.”

‘How long will it take for our races to accept one another, though I think orcs won’t take long… those that are different will take much longer… Is there no good way to change things?’
