Becoming the Demon Lord: Taming the Demon Queen Begins

"Wait... does she hate me?" Serena felt a little down.

But she couldn't shake the feeling that Lyria, with her cheeks slightly flushed, was looking at her with a completely different kind of light in her eyes.

"Senior Sister..."

That one phrase seemed to carry endless tenderness.

"Am I misunderstanding something?"

Serena couldn't help but feel a bit confused. She had never seen anything quite like this before.

Just then, the Blossom of Love began to glow.

More importantly, unlike before, this glow was much brighter, almost dazzling.

The Jadeheart Dual Cultivation Art.

The Arcane Arts manual that had appeared before the Blossom of Love was of Epic-level quality!

Epic-level! Such a rarity! While everyone marveled at the ancient techniques passed down from their ancestors, cheers erupted instantly.

"Senior Sister Serena is amazing!"

"Sister Lyria is so bold!"

"Together! Together!"

"Huh?"

Serena was completely stunned.

The situation in front of her was beyond anything she could comprehend.

Didn't Lyria dislike her? Why did the Blossom of Love reveal not just an ordinary pebble, but an Epic-level Arcane Arts manual?

And... it was a manual about dual cultivation!

'Could the Blossom of Love be malfunctioning?'

As Serena curiously glanced at Lyria, she finally noticed the shyness in Lyria's gaze, along with emotions that were hard to describe.

"Sister..."

In that moment, Serena's cheeks also flushed slightly.

The cheers from the surrounding female disciples grew louder and more excited.

The atmosphere... seemed to be heading in a very interesting direction.

"This... this is just an accident! I swear, not all of our sanctuary's disciples are like this!"

Timothy, who had witnessed the entire scene from the sidelines, saw Holy Maiden Aeliana's face flush with embarrassment.

There was an old saying: "Relationships between men and women are for reproduction, but true love is between women."

But the feelings that had blossomed between these female disciples clearly had something to do with her.

First of all, the sanctuary had never accepted male disciples, which had left these girls a bit... pent up.

More importantly...

Aeliana herself had been single for over 800 years. She spent her days surrounded by beautiful female practitioners like Sylvia, often engaging in rather intimate behavior.

Because of this, rumors had started to spread in the martial world—rumors that Holy Maiden Aeliana's preferences might be a little... different.

And to make matters worse, some of the female disciples who worshipped her like a goddess had actually started to believe it, even going so far as to imitate her.

As a result, the atmosphere in the Blooming Sanctuary always felt a bit... off.

These stunningly beautiful disciples would sometimes just look at each other and... well, sparks would fly.

Thinking about it, Holy Maiden Aeliana felt like she was on the verge of tears.

She had reached the level of a Holy Emperor, revered as the Holy Maiden. When had she ever been this humiliated?

The worst part was, she had no way to clear up this ridiculous rumor.

After all, being single for 800 years with no boyfriend wasn't exactly a convincing argument!n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

"Ughhh..."

As she thought about it, Holy Maiden Aeliana's eyes began to well up with tears of frustration.

"What's wrong?"

Noticing her sudden change in mood, Timothy looked at her with curiosity.

"Nothing, nothing."

Holy Maiden Aeliana shook her head repeatedly, but couldn't help muttering pitifully, "Just... try not to flaunt your relationship so much in front of me, okay? Otherwise, I really don't know how I'm going to survive this!"

Timothy: "..."

It seemed like it wasn't just the female disciples who were feeling a bit... pent up—even Holy Maiden Aeliana was struggling.

After taking a moment to calm herself, Holy Maiden Aeliana finally regained her composure.

By this time, Serena had already left with another female disciple, who was clinging to her affectionately, carrying that dual cultivation Arcane Arts manual.

As for what they were going to do... well, no one really knew.

Feeling like she had just taken a massive emotional hit, Holy Maiden Aeliana patted her ample chest, trying to push the whole incident out of her mind.

"Let's go."

She and Timothy approached the Blossom of Love together.

"Holy Maiden is here too!"

"Wait, why is Holy Maiden with Timothy?"

Although Timothy was a familiar face around the sanctuary, the female disciples were still shocked to see him with Holy Maiden Aeliana at the Blossom of Love.

"There's no way Holy Maiden would ever fall in love with a man. Could it be... Timothy and Holy Maiden are actually long-lost siblings? Like, they're related by blood!"

"That's possible! I mean, what other explanation could there be?"

"Your logic is... something else. But whatever, this is some major gossip!"

The crowd buzzed with excitement, the atmosphere even more electric than before.

Nearly all the female disciples had gathered on the hillside, watching the scene unfold with intense curiosity.

They were so eager to see what would happen next that they couldn't tear their eyes away. All that was missing were some chairs, watermelons, and sunflower seeds to complete the perfect gossip session. Stay tuned for updates on empire

"Hmph, this time I'm going to prove myself in front of these disciples!" Holy Maiden Aeliana thought to herself, determined. She gave Timothy a soft smile. "Shall we... begin?"

"Uh, begin what exactly?"

The other disciples had been whispering all sorts of embarrassing, cheesy lines to each other, but Timothy wasn't sure he could bring himself to say anything that cringeworthy.

More importantly, even if it was just for show, what if he accidentally said something too flirty to Holy Maiden Aeliana and word got back to Sylvia? He'd be in for days of trouble!

But Holy Maiden Aeliana seemed to have anticipated this. "Don't worry, you don't have to say any of those embarrassing lines. I have a better idea."

With that, she suddenly stopped.

She took a step forward, her fragrance lingering in the air.

Her lips brushed close to his ear, her voice soft and intoxicatingly sweet: "I'll let you touch any two places on my body. Anywhere you want~"

As soon as she finished speaking, Holy Maiden Aeliana stepped back, giving Timothy a playful smile. Her graceful figure seemed even more alluring, exuding a captivating charm.

"You're sure about two places?" Timothy asked with a slight smile.

"Of course~ But I didn't expect you'd actually agree."

Like a flower just beginning to bloom, Holy Maiden Aeliana smiled faintly and slowly closed her eyes, as if offering herself up without reservation.

"Well then, I won't refuse such a generous offer."

This time, Timothy didn't hesitate.

He reached out, his hand moving slowly toward her elegant, curvaceous figure.

Even with her eyes closed, Holy Maiden Aeliana could feel Timothy's hand getting closer and closer.

Finally, her long lashes fluttered slightly, betraying her nervousness.

Though she had acted like it didn't matter, she hadn't expected Timothy to actually go through with it.

Based on what she knew about him, he should've refused, right?

For the first time, Holy Maiden Aeliana felt completely out of her depth.

Her heart was racing wildly, like a deer caught in headlights.

"Could it be... could it be... he's really going to do it?!"

But just as Timothy's hand was about to make contact...
