Devouring Monarch: Rebirth of the Profane Phoenix - Chapter 403

Chapter 403: Returning Home – All for you

The sound of water flowing from the showerhead filled the bathroom, and Asura’s muscular body filled with countless marks and wounds.

He didn’t know if it was subconscious, but recently, his wounds wouldn’t heal completely.

In the past, they would fade and leave no marks; however, when fighting monsters that reached the level of the Blood Crows and other Stage Nine or above.

He closed his eyes before two pale arms wrapped around his waist, and a lovely soft sensation touched his back.

“You left me all day~ I was so lonely and sore.”

His heart skipped a beat as a sweet voice flowed into his ear.

“A-Am I not allowed to have a life?”

Asura replied in a helpless tone as he turned around, the water flowing from his chest onto the lovely face and breasts of Celine, who looked up at him with a cute face. Her lips pushed out and curled into a pout.

“It’s not that I want you to stop having a life, but don’t I take precedence over anything else? You’re my lover, aren’t you?”

Her eyes glowed with a light blue colour as her hands roamed his muscular chest, and Asura couldn’t help but feel the little princess was just taking liberties. He curled his lips into a smile, wrapped his hands around her soft buttocks, enjoying the sensation of his fingers sinking into her soft meat and lifted her off the floor.

“Kya~~ you… put me down!” Celine’s lovely eyes widened while he held her in the air, the scared elf wrapping her legs around his waist and her arms around his neck in an instant.

“I’ll put you down. In a moment.”

Asura walked to the glass wall before pressing Celine against it. The water flowed down his body, and the cold glass and hot water made Celine shiver while he used one hand to hold under her hips and the other to press his thick rod into the entrance of her cave.

Celine’s face instantly flushed red as she felt the tip of his hot shaft pushing apart her pink walls, and her eyes closed tight, her fingers digging into his back as she lowered herself onto his member.

“Let’s be quick, I have to go back to Silvara soon.”

“Nnn~ then, don’t keep doing me over and over, stupid.”

Asura rolled his eyes and spare hand down to her waist, lifting her up and down. The water falling on her body made her white skin glisten, and the pink of her cave sucked in his shaft greedily.

An elven princess sang her heart out for the rest of the evening. Unable to stop, they ended up travelling to her bedroom, balcony and against the door before finally calming down.

Asura sat on the edge of Celine’s bed, stroking her silken hair, her sapphire eyes looking at him, clearly exhausted.

“Haven’t I told you to stop doing this to me, Asura? My legs have gone numb, and my body hurts all over!”

Celine stretched her slender arms and hugged him tight, burying her head into his chest.

“You could always refuse, you know. Don’t you have any self-control, Celine?”

Asura raised a brow and stroked her cheek, and Celine’s face blushed, her eyes looking away. “If it didn’t feel so good, maybe I would!”

Asura couldn’t help but laugh before his finger stopped moving, and he knew it was time to leave; otherwise, the other women would be upset.

“Hey, are you listening?”

Celine noticed his expression and called out to him, biting his arm to get his attention, and Asura stroked her hair gently.

“I have to leave now.”

“Why can’t you stay with me forever, Asura?”

Her blue eyes grew teary as she looked at him.

Those words felt like a small dagger piercing his chest, once again realising that the glory of harems in novels was never that easy in reality, though he could one day make it possible to visit each other’s nations normally. Right now, he couldn’t remain by her side all the time.

He stroked her hair and kissed her forehead before standing up.

“I’ll come back to you in a few days, okay?”

“Mm, If you bring me a gift, I’ll let you off. But be careful!”

Celine watched as Asura opened a portal and disappeared through it before snuggling into the bed, holding a pillow tightly as she fell asleep.

Asura landed in the central hall of the mansion in Silvara before walking out and seeing Vela, Mu Xue and the others in the living room, sitting while enjoying some simple drinks and snacks.

Mu Xue and the girls were all dressed in light clothes and looked relaxed, meaning nothing happened while he was gone; only Verana and Valerie were missing.

“Welcome back, Asura.”

The four women stood and greeted him.

“Where is Verana and Valerie?”

Asura asked as he sat down on a chair.

“Valerie and Verana were ordered to return to Drakkur by the queen, just in case the north began to move once again… Where were you for so long? We worried about you…” Xavida asked while hugging his chest tight.

“I was in the elven royal city, visiting the princess.”

“Ohh, what did you do?” Mu Xue’s eyes lit up, and she leaned forward.

“Nothing much, just the usual.”

Asura didn’t want to explain more and quickly changed the subject.

“So, how are our plans going? When should we prepare to move towards the monster kingdoms?”

“Oh no, you don’t get to avoid this, mister~ did you sleep with her? I can see so many marks on your neck. A little innocent elven princess sucked on your neck, huh?” Xavida spoke in an amusing but doubtful tone.

“What can I say? She’s quite a beast.”

“I’m not surprised; the elves are the race most closely connected to nature and life. Although they are chaste, they also have a higher libido than humans or demons. So, darling how many times did you do it? Was it her first time?”

“Xavida… why are you so vulgar, don’t ask such questions.” Mu Xue slapped Xavida’s head and gave Asura an apologetic face, “since you must be tired. Why not go and take a rest before dinner?”

“No need, I’m not tired.”

Asura shook his head, “how far have the preparations for moving come?”

“It’s almost done. We can set off within the week if you’re willing.” Helliana spoke while sipping her tea. It seemed Lorem was absent.

“Alright, we will move as planned. I want to reach the Eastern part of the continent sooner rather than later, and I miss Sigurd.”

“That is possible, but the journey will be dangerous, so we need to be cautious.” Helliana lowered her drink with a clang.

“By the way… Asura, I wonder if you don’t mind if I stay here with Mu Yue… she is a little unstable and I want to fix our relationship. Although I would love to come with you, you know I would… she’s my little sister.”

Mu Xue asked.

“Okay, that’s not a problem. I will miss you, but since you finally found your family, how could I say no to my lovely Xue’er?”

“Thank you, Asura! I’ll be with you when you return!” Mu Xue wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him before the others began to pout, and he laughed and stroked her cheek.

“We are leaving tomorrow morning, so you should prepare everything. Tonight you, Xavida, Vela and Lorem should come to my room. I want to say goodbye properly to you all.”

Asura grinned, and the girls blushed, their eyes looking at him mischievously.

“That sounds like a plan, Asura.”

“Hmph, what can’t we do now? It’s not like we haven’t done anything before.” Xavida tried to be cheeky, but her tail swayed happily, betraying her little cheeky line.

He wanted to leave sooner because the feeling of pressure and danger that loomed over him remained. There was something he could feel, on a level beyond just his normal sense that was warning him that something would happen during this journey.

The fact he would only be going with Helliana, Rasha and Yufa made him feel unsure of how things would play out. He wanted to avoid separating from those he loved or cared for, but right now, he had no choice.

However, the queen ordered any woman carrying his children to remain. It was a logical order, and he couldn’t deny her reasoning.

“Alright, ladies, I’ll be waiting.”

Asura smiled and walked off, heading towards the courtyard, where he found the familiar figure of Lucia sitting under a tree, staring at the sky with a distant gaze, her beautiful eyes of pure black with a slight ripple of silver flowing across their surface flicked to look at Asura.

“I’ve been waiting, Asura. Are you ready?”

“Yes, I am.”

Asura looked at her, and her gaze held a trace of sadness. And he walked over before she rose and hugged him tightly. Asura hugged her back, feeling her soft breast before she whispered in his ear.

“The queen will allow me and Ignis to come with you, but only as far as the border. Once you have the information needed, we will storm the forest with the Valkyrie and orc troops.”

“You will?”

Asura looked at her in surprise, and Lucia’s lips curled into a gentle smile.

“Mn. You should know that the queen is thinking of you and your child with her orders and wants you to be safe, so we can’t follow you in. However, I resigned~ now I am no longer a lecturer or Royal knight… I am your knight alone hehe, a position the queen gave me.”

She giggled, and her eyes seemed to sparkle as her face flushed.

Asura’s eyes widened as he realised she was blushing and looked away. “you really want to come that badly?”

“No, I want to be with you, nothing else.”

Lucia whispered in a soft voice, her delicate finger stroking his cheeks.

“Don’t worry, you will be fine, Asura, trust me.”

“Mn.”

Asura nodded and released her before she moved her face closer, and their lips met; above them, the twinkle of the night sky witnessed the choice Lucia made to follow Asura no matter where he might go.
