Chapter 28.1 Protagonist: Lets make a bet

And then what happened?

Violet impatiently waited for him to go on. Alice sat beside her, eyes also flashing with curiosity. Xiu did not continue and turned to look outside the green door where an attendant waited in front of a luxurious carriage. Seeing Xiu looking at him, the attendant saluted and said: Mr. Xiu, what is your answer? Lord Heidi awaits your arrival in the main government building.

Violet hid her astonishment. She knew her master was very handsome no matter which form he took, his perfect appearance was like the supreme masterpiece of the Creator God and even made her heart skip a beat. However, demons tend to pay more attention to power than appearance. After the initial shock of seeing such a beautiful person, what really attracted Violet was Xius immense, bottomless power. She even forgot that Xius appearance is outstanding unexpectedly attracting even the legendary most beautiful demon succubus in the reverse side of the continent.

Violet was curious and asked: Lord Xiu, are you going to keep the appointment?

Xiu looked at Du Ze who has been surrounded onlookers and gently changed the subject: Do you want me to keep the appointment?

Violet then remembered Du Ze and Xius relationship. Her heart felt heavy and she was suddenly worried. As Violet stared at him intensely, Du Ze expressionlessly pushed up his glasses and said in a flat tone: En! (a sound indicating the affirmative like uh-huh)

Xiu didnt seem surprised at his answer and he said: Why?

She was beautiful Du Ze realized that the words he was speaking were wrong and the black-haired youth bluntly said: We need a pass.

Really awkward

Violet looked anxiously at Xiu. She hoped Xiu would realize Du Ze was jealous and reassure him, but Xiu just nodded to Du Ze and said: Alright.

At this, the demon girl was even more anxious and wanted to ease the atmosphere. She heard Xiu say to Du Ze: You and I will go there together.

Inconvenient

If you dont go, said the blonde youth, I wont go either. You have to stay with me.

Seeing that Du Ze nodded in agreement after a short silence, Violet relaxed. Sure enough, she was being too much of a worrywart; Lord Xiu can handle everything properly.

At the same moment that Violet relaxed, a certain silly, cute person thought: FML! I was almost classified as one of the most miserable cannon fodder characters! Of all the cannon fodder species, the ones that covet the protagonists harem members are the most wretched, and when they lose their lives, they can even lose their cucumber. 1

When Xiu asked him if he should keep the appointment, Du Ze wanted to shake him and say: Go! You have to go! When facing the younger girl, it should be a multiple choice question, not a yes or no question, you bast**d!

Because he was too excited when Xiu asked why he should go, the readers internal turmoil was so great that he almost shouted out the feelings that were in his heart: Damn! You asked me why?! Thats a girl! Thats a beautiful girl! Its a beautiful younger girl with a dowry!

Wait, did he just say something that made it look like he was trying to usurp the protagonists role in the harem? In a flash, Du Ze excused himself by saying we need a pass because he wanted to avoid that death flag. Fortunately, Xiu didnt seem to care about it much and just wanted them to go together. At first he tried to refuse since he didnt want to the a third wheel.2 Moreover, his headphones were about to run out of power.

Listening to the protagonists next words, a stupid Moe person suddenly realized: the original protagonist3 is shy and wants someone to go with him, ah.

In order to facilitate the protagonists transformation into a cute harem master, Du Ze will attempt to turn himself into a flesh-colored background scenery. When the protagonist and a younger girl are deep in business negotiations he will flick his sleeves and hide in the shadows, taking no credit for his efforts to build up the harem4 this young man can only do this much.

When the aide was told that Du Ze would be accompanying Xiu, the attendant looked at the black-haired youth from head to toe. Before he left, Violet took him aside and told him very sincerely and earnestly: Lord Xiu attaches great importance to you.

?

Believe in him, and trust yourself.

???

So dont be so uncomfortable anymore.

Im sorry, my Chinese teacher died early. Younger sister, this young man can understand every word of what you said but cant decipher its actual meaning, please explain!

Before Du Ze was able to sort out the meaning of her words, he was brought to the carriage by Xiu. The attendant sat in front of the carriage and swung his whip, and the carriage moved steadily towards the City Lords residence.

The Agares City Lords dwelling was a magnificent palace. Du Ze has not seen a palace in his world, but he felt that the palaces in his world cannot be as grand as the palace in front of him. The City Lords abode was built of obsidian and purple agate and was enormous. Du Ze lost track of how many emerald gates they had passed through. In the face of such luxury, Du Ze started to feel stiff and uncomfortable from his head to his toes. It wont be long until his headphones run out of charge and Du Ze bitterly realized that he wouldnt be able to fade into the background here in these resplendent gold and jade green surroundings, a loser like him really sticks out like a sore thumb.

The carriage came to a halt. They had reached their destination.

Chapter 28.2 Protagonist: Lets make a bet

A demon butler met them at the door. He saw two people emerge from the carriage, a blond youth with a genial smile on his face and a black-haired youth with a stiff, frozen face who looks very difficult to get along with.

The butler gave Du Ze a brief glance then focused most of his attention on Xiu. Sizing up the blonde with a critical eye, the butler was unable to find any flaws in the blue-eyed, golden-haired youths appearance. The only thing a person could call a fault was that Xiu was a little bit inferior in strength. The butler tentatively deduced that the other party is, roughly speaking, a high-level Sword Master, but he cannot make out the others attributes. The butler thought that for Xiu to have reached this level at his age is quite good.

If a certain someone had known what the butler was thinking, he would be sure to snort and think: stupid mortal, ah! He underestimates the protagonists halo too much. He should quickly worship the military might and magical talent of the Moe Master!

Du Ze saw the demon butler walk up to them and say some welcoming words. The servants gestures were superficially modest but could not hide his natural arrogance. With a gesture, the butler invited them to enter and led the way inside. Xiu pulled the still dazed Du Ze along with him and followed the servant.

The Lords palace was lavishly decorated with bright crystal chandeliers that dangled overhead. There were two spiral staircases in front of them. A door was set in between the stairs. It opened automatically when they walked to it. Inside was a spacious dining hall; the table was filled with delicious food, but the most mouth-watering treat was the person who was seated at the head of the table and smiling at them.

Heidi was dressed in a purple scale evening dress that clung tightly to the curves of her body. She was like a beautiful mermaid luring sailors to their doom. Compared to her, the goddesses that Du Ze had seen on Earth before were nothing much.

She was a little surprised to see Du Ze, but Heidi continued to smile and asked the attendants to bring another chair. Du Ze sat as far away from the pair as he could and began to weaken his presence as much as he could.

Heidi and Xiu toasted each other and seemed to be chatting very happily. Lurking in the sidelines, Du Ze was also very happy. Although he could not hear them, no problem, real men like big breasts!1 The crazy fan simply filled his imagination with dialogue from the original Mixed Blood scene.

Heidi gently touched Xius blonde hair. Her eyes were wet: [This is a really beautiful color. I cannot help but wonder if the sunshine is so beautiful on the other side of the Chaos Continent Be my partner, okay?]

(PS: The [] lines in brackets are Du Zes remembered Mixed Blood original dialogue.)2

[You already belong to me.] Xiu smiled: [Ill take you back to the other side of the mainland, and youll see what the real sun looks like.]

Heidi widened her beautiful eyes: [ Back to the Chaos Continent?]

[Dont underestimate your man. Believe me.] Xius eyes were full of tenderness: [Youll achieve your wish.]

Next, the charming demon sister will move towards the protagonist and be enfolded in his bosom. Du Ze was thinking of hiding his presence and leaving at the right time when he saw Heidi stand up and then leisurely walk towards him.

Sister, youve made a mistake, =A=?

Du Ze watched the succubus walk towards him, her soft body gently swaying as if boneless. Du Ze was so stiff even his breathing had stopped. He felt the succubus whisper something in his ear:

Du Ze did not hear what Heidi said to him because he was busy blankly staring in Xius direction: This young man does not covet your familys harem and has not done anything at all, so please, protagonist, keep your knife sheathed and let this youth keep his cucumber! Ah!

A soft hand touched the side of Du Ze head and in front of him was a beautiful woman with a heavenly fragrance, blushing cheeks, and delicate lips that men cannot help but want to kiss. When the succubus smiled, her eyes were mesmerising but Du Zes heart was full of despair.

Sister, you really want this cannonfodders cucumber to be chopped off? QAQ?

Heidi was startled by the black-haired youths reaction. He looked at her as if he was seeing something horrifying under a beautiful painted mask. Under his cold eyes, she could not find any means of moving him. Heidi got up and walked back to her seat. She frowned at the blonde youth who had kept silent all this time.

You knew that would happen?

I knew. He looked at you like he was looking at a picture, Xiu whispered. He was half speaking to himself: He always does.

Heidi had to admit that Xiu had described it perfectly. She had seen the stunned admiration on the youths eyes but she could not move his heart.

I lost. Heidi admitted she couldnt seduce Du Ze. Since I lost our wager, Ill have the pass ready.

She gazed at Xiu and said: Have you really thought about it? If you want, you can have this city -

Xiu shook his head. Heidi looked very disappointed; her helpless look was the type that aroused the protective urges of every normal male.

I enjoyed our dinner. I asked someone to prepare a room. Please stay here for a while.

***

After Xiu emerged from his bath, he saw that Du Ze had disappeared and sitting on bed was Heidi, dressed in gauze clothing. The beautiful demon smiled at him charmingly, saying: Looking for your companion? I asked him to rest in another room.

Heidi stood up and walked next to Xiu. The thin veil of her clothing could not conceal the charming scenery under it.

I thought about it and I am a little unwilling

She pulled down the straps off her thin gown and the light silk clothes slipped off, revealing her perfect figure.

So Im going to make this last effort.

Beautiful succubus. Naked, without a stitch of clothing on. Standing in front of Xiu, her voice is sweet as she said: You will fall in love with that feeling You want to try?

******

******

Lets make a bet. If you can seduce him, I will stay to help you, if not, please give us the pass.

Seduce him?

Dont underestimate him. Trust me, you cant do it.

You knew that?

He knew it all along.

That person is always like this, always watching everything but he never getting involved.

Almost like God.

If that man is God.

He wants to commit blasphemy.

The author has something to say:

Protagonist: Lets make a bet? If you can tempt me, you can rest today. If not, eight races tonight.

Reader: (used his whole body to seduce the protagonist, and then was pushed down by the protagonist) You lied to me!!! Didnt I win?

Protagonist: If I dont push you down, how do I show you that I was tempted?

The author: Who lost and who won? Its a difficult question.
