Devouring Monarch: Rebirth of the Profane Phoenix - Chapter 397

Chapter 397: Meeting The Lovely Elf – Before Hell, There’s Bathing!
Warm morning sunlight peeked through the silver netting. The black and red curtains floated in the gentle breeze. Asura sat on the edge of his bed. His gaze watched the sleeping faces of his three lovers while stroking the soft scales on Xavida’s cheek.

‘I think I’ve had enough time off now.’

Asura grasped the small token in his hand, one that would link him to another place. He no longer attuned this to the mountainous place where he met Celine. Instead, they both changed where it would take them because the goblins became too weak.

‘Did you prepare for today, Celine?’

[Of course, you’ve been so busy and always ignored me since you came here! How is my aunt doing?]

He suddenly recalled her existence.

He closed his eyes and wondered if Celine would understand. She desired to explore the world, and I simply fulfilled her wishes, correct…?

‘I don’t know, probably travelling the world or something.’

[Eh? Isn’t she with you? Why do you sound so vague?!]

Asura could picture her pouting face and just shook his head. Today he would return to that hellish place which Lorem sent him to. However, he would be letting Celine and Spica join him.

He wondered if they could handle the place but wouldn’t treat them especially. The enemies attacking the Elven empire were stronger than the elf queen realised.

‘Well, forget about her. Next time, I’ll find out what she’s up to. She was trapped in that place for so long, so let her enjoy her life for now.’

[ASURA!]

‘Yeah, yeah, don’t be so loud. I’ll come pick you up, and then we can train.’

[Eh?! Train, what about our date?]

‘If you can beat 100 monsters in the place we’re going. I will think about it!’

[Hmph… I will tell my mother and brother, and then we’ll see who needs to beat 100 monsters!]

Asura’s lips twitched as he felt that this little girl was getting smarter and better at dealing with him over time, which left him with only one tactic.

‘Ar Celinas! If you don’t, I will tie you to a rock naked and spank your fat ass!’

Asura’s ears could pick up the gasping noises coming from Celine.

‘Oh, looks like I got her! Haha, I win!’

She suddenly cut off their conversation, and Asura smiled. He then leaned over each of his beloved women, Xavida, Lorem and Vela. He gently kissed their cheeks and stroked their different, silky hairstyles before he said in a whisper.

“I’ll be back soon. I have to do some training today. I love you all.”

None of them reacted, not even Lorem, the most sensitive to his aura.

He took a few steps back and tossed the token into the air, which created a huge purple vortex with lightning and churning tides undulating on the surface.

“See you later.”

The token floated in the middle of the vortex, and Asura jumped into the rift where his figure vanished, with the three women opening their eyes as it started to dissipate.

“Take care, darling.”

“I knew he’d escape somewhere, Asura. I’ll punish you when you come home.”

“Husband… why do you act exactly how we predicted?”

The three figures slipped out of bed and headed towards the living room. As they left, the rift faded away, leaving a calm and serene bedroom.

***

Meanwhile, in the capital, Ar’Soleil, inside the youngest princess’s room, a vortex began to form while Ar Celinas, the princess with her silky blonde hair, was sitting in her huge bath and humming to herself, oblivious Asura was already here.

“Hey, Celine, do you need help bathing?”

Celine jumped and dropped the bar of evergreen soap she was using. Her body slipped beneath the foamy water, but the sound of her voice rang through Asura’s ears. “How?!”

“What do you mean, how? I’m here, and I said I would be here.”

Celine rose to the surface and turned her head towards the direction of the voice. She looked adorable while covering her ample chest; from the time they met to now, she had grown into a rather exotic and charming beauty.

“Hmph, I was not expecting you yet, you pervert. Wait there while I dress, and don’t you dare look.”

Asura watched her body move in the water. He then thought about the night with his lovely women and shook his head, removing his clothes as he walked towards the imperial bath, larger than the one they had in the mansion that could fit four people inside at once.

“What are you doing?”

“Taking a bath with you. It’s faster. Do you not want me to?”

Celine could see his body, with his muscular arms and legs. She felt her heart skip a beat, and her lower lips became wetter than they were.

“Hmph, whatever. You can’t have fun, though!”

“Why do you say that, Celine?”

“Because we are not married, you pervert. Also, my mother would kill you if you did that.”

“So what? What’s wrong with making love to my lover?”

“L-lover? What about the others?”

“Well, what about them? They’re all my lovers, too. Now, hurry up and wash my back, and then I’ll wash yours, and we can go and hunt.”

Celine’s face dropped as she realised he just sat in front of her and didn’t once tease her, which made her feel strange. Normally, he would touch her breasts or make an excuse to fondle her somehow. However, then she noticed the marks on his back and neck… kiss marks, bite marks, claw marks down his back, still red…

She swallowed the saliva in her mouth, feeling her heart thumping, a dark feeling of bitterness and jealousy flowing inside her as she grasped the rough sponge rather than the soft, smooth one and let out a sigh.

“I’m not washing your front!”

“Okay, fine. I’ll do it myself, and then I’ll wash your hair.”

“Fine.”

Celine nodded and moved to his back and started to wash it, scrubbing his hard and robust shoulders, watching his muscles as he stretched, making her swallow her saliva. She tried to use the rough part of the sponge to remove the marks… his skin turning red as she scrubbed him. Asura didn’t complain—instead seemed to enjoy her being so rough as he let out a pleasant groan.

“That’s really good.”

“Shush, stop talking.”

“Haha, okay.”

Celine’s lips twitched as she continued. She washed his back and then his shoulders, even his arms and then his lower back, where her fingers touched his body. Eventually, she stopped using a sponge, the soapy suds that smelt like the beautiful forest on a summer afternoon, citrus fruits and apple scents filling the room as she used her fingers., rubbing his body.

“Celine, you should do that lower down.”

“Eh? Where?”

“There.”

She reached his lower back, where his hands grasped her wrist and slipped around his front. Her fingers slid across his body until she reached his pelvis, and something thick pressed against her palms.

“T-this is not washing, Asura.”

“What are you talking about, Celine? You are washing me down there, aren’t you?”

“I am not!”

“Hmm? Then why are your hands sliding along it?”

“Because you put it there, and…”

“And what, Celine?”

“This is your fault, you pervert.”

“I’m not the one touching it. So you can stop touching it.”

Asura missed this lovely elf. He leaned back and stroked her golden hair, looking into her beautiful eyes that watched him with a doubtful look, her cheeks pure red, yet she still didn’t stop ‘cleaning’ him while her body leaned against his back, the warm sensation of her soft breasts squashing against his shoulders, made his lips curl into a smirk. “You’ve grown since I last saw you, such an erotic elf.”

“Don’t tease me!”

“Why do you think I’m teasing you?”

“B-because you always say these things. I’m not an erotic elf. I am the great princess Ar Celinas, a lady, and a noble, and…”

Before she could finish, Asura kissed her lips lightly, only a slight peck of the soft pink skin. He smiled, and as he moved to get up, she grasped his shoulders.

“I don’t want you to go.”

“Oh? What’s the matter?”

She didn’t answer; instead, moving through the water, she appeared in front of him and moved slower, placing her long, athletic thighs on eight sides of his waist, facing each other. Celine looked away as her breasts dangled slightly while floating on the surface of the water. “Wash my front… like you did that massage in the cave…”

Asura smiled and reached out his hands, gripping her hips, his fingers pressed against her firm ass. Celine’s eyes widened, and she stared at his face, her expression full of expectation.

However, a voice sounded, interrupting them for a moment, causing Celine to swim away rapidly and splash around like a beached whale.

“Princess, are you there?”

“Ah, yes, I am bathing right now.”

“Do you wish for me to bring you your towels and robes?”

“No, no need. I have already called for the maids, so there is no need for you to trouble yourself. Spica….”

“Princess… you sound strange, and that splashing before. Is there someone inside with you?”

“N-no, no one is in here, hahaha!”

Celine’s face paled, and Asura laughed lightly, knowing that this young woman would never have such a casual conversation with anyone while keeping a secret.

“Yo, Spica, do you also want to join us?”

Asura’s voice sounded so relaxed as if he was asking Spica to join them for a morning jog or something.

The fact he was in the princess’s private bath caused the half-elf to shudder.
