My Goddess is Good at Pretending

Chapter 136: Please Allow Me to Join

Once the first batch started learning the Evil God’s ancient demonic arts and immortal cultivation techniques, those ancient demons were already subject to the authority holder’s influence.

A particular law was instilled into their spiritual sea. It would become permanent and firmly attached to one’s soul the deeper they practiced those ancient demonic arts.

[Total minions: 7671]

"..." Ely was speechless when the Artificial Hell Core Key presented a virtual screen to her vision.

Nobody could see it except her, but she was the only one who felt a bit complicated there.

Thirty-one ancient demons in the first batch had been added, but there were more than seven thousand hell creatures in the Artificial Hell Realm.

’The Artificial Hell Realm lost a lot of evil energy, and most hell creatures disappeared. But why are there still so many of them? Should I do another purge or leave them be?’ Ely pondered in her mind.

After reconsidering it again, she should leave those hell creatures alone for now. She still had no plan for those monsters.

’Nevermind, I’ll think about it later. They might come in handy if we need to clash with another powerful Demon God or something.’ Ely shrugged her shoulders and then turned around.

Before leaving, she gave the responsibilities and duties regarding the God-tier legacies to the ancient demon ancestors.

"Hmm~" Ely hummed melodiously in her tent.

Jophiel and Gabriella sat sweetly nearby. They listened to their master’s hums and watched what their master was doing as if they were enjoying their time.

Because the ancient demons were pretty busy underground, they were so relaxed that day. After mass-producing the fake curse-purifying talismans, then they could sleep early.

"Hmm..." Sylvia peered into Ely’s storage pouch. The soul-sealing gourd was there. Ely attached lots of sealing talismans to it, and she received the responsibility to watch over it.

She didn’t find anything wrong with it in the last few minutes. The soul within it should also be exhausted. Nobody could guess what Ely would do with this God’s soul, but she would know sooner or later.

"..." Sylvia glanced to the side. Ely was still busy.

However, she felt a bit bored. She wanted to catch up with Yuuki and join in the fun. After all, she was also curious about what kind of spider demon they would recruit to the Sacred Mountain.

Therefore, she sealed the storage pouch, then signaled Ely’s disciples. She told them that she needed to go out before bed.

"..." Gabriella and Jophiel didn’t understand Sylvia’s gesture but still responded with a tactical nod. They could only comprehend this devil girl wanted to play outside for a while.

Sylvia gave an ok hand gesture, then left the tent. She passed through the barrier without a hitch and immediately flew into the dark forest.

Yuuki freed the spider lady from the storage pouch in a safe zone in the dark forest. A few minutes ago, she noticed this spider demon would be conscious soon. Thus, she excused herself for handling this matter, as Ely asked.

The spider lady was stark naked, but a large cloak covered this woman’s body. Yuuki just stood and waited.

’Somehow, I feel a bit strange. Do I need to show a bit of dominance to get her to join Sacred Mountain’s forest dwellers? Or, simple persuasion will work?’ Yuuki asked in wonder.

"Ah, uhm..." The Spider Queen twitched slightly, then woke up from her slumber. She felt incredibly fresh but also a little cold.

The Spider Queen propelled her body to sit up, stretched her arms up, ran her hands through her long silky white hair, then looked around in confusion.

After that, she glanced at the nine-tailed demon fox standing before her. She blinked her blue-red heterochromia eyes in a daze, then widened her eyes in surprise.

She realized this nine-tailed white demon fox was known as one of the legendary creatures. Those multiple fluffy tails were authentic, and this nine-tailed fox’s aura was at 10th Rank!

The pressure, the coldness, and the golden spiritual aura made her sure of that. The nine-tailed fox looked down at her with an intimidating cold gaze.

Considering her spiritual energy was halfway recovered, and she was unharmed, this nine-tailed fox senior probably helped her recover.

This nine-tailed fox was probably his senior. She remembered that she had fallen under the dark knight demon’s hands.

"Are you the one who saved me, senior?" The Spider Queen clasped her hand respectfully.

"No, that is my master. Come with us and become our people. All you need to do is follow the rules, be a good demon, and obey the orders of your superiors. You will receive countless benefits in our sacred domain." Yuuki didn’t beat around the bush and went straight to the point.

"Huh?" The Spider Queen was momentarily stunned by the offer. She never expected it, but she felt it had more to it than it sounded. Thus, she had to make sure of it. "My apologies, but may I know who is the master you are referring to, senior?"

"The Young Demon God. The dark knight demon who saved you. You can recover also because of ’his’ generosity. So, what is your answer?" Yuuki crossed her arms.

"This..." The Spider Queen hesitated but was also surprised. That dark knight demon was the Young Demon God!?

He did save her, but he was also the one who accidentally wiped out her entire clan. If she thought about it again, she could say he saved her from those cruel children.

As for the current matter, he wanted her, and this nine-tailed fox invited her to join them.

She had no idea what the other party would do to her if she refused this offer. But, if she accepted it... she might receive an unimaginable benefit. It was like a tempting gamble.

’But, if it was real, that would be too good. Sacred domain, is it? Was it because he had seen and groped my body? He wants me? Or he wanted something else? That jerk desires my body? Oww, ouch.’ The Spider Queen held her head.

For some reason, she received an unbearable headache when she badmouthed the dark knight demon with suspicion. She never received backlash when she condemned that dark knight demon on her Little Spider Queen’s body.

’That’s probably because it’s a mere complaint? But, why is it suddenly... my head hurts! Wait, I already signed a demonic contract with that dark knight demon in our first encounter! But that is me in my little spider body. Why did the contract also follow me to my real body!?’

The Spider Queen was stressed out.

The scam contract would force her to obey his words, tell the truth, work for him, remain honest, and not think badly of him. That dark knight demon didn’t know the burgundy spider was her, but he freed that little spider without revoking the contract!

She already served her purpose as the guide, as promised! But, if he was the Young Demon God, he already knew her real identity. He was toying with her to trap her from the start!

She was the spider demon, but she felt trapped in a spider’s web where she was prey.

With that in mind, the Spider Queen forced her mind to calm down. She tried not to think badly of the dark knight demon. Sure enough, the dizziness gradually subsided. It was indeed a potent demonic contract scam.

He got her from the start, and it was genuinely detrimental for her since the conditions were so unfair. She had to work for him and obey him. Her life was ruined, and she thought she could start a bright new life.

"Hic..." The Spider Queen felt like crying. She had no choice since that dark knight demon wanted her to join his sacred domain.

"Hi~ How about that spider woman? Did you manage to convince her to join our Sacred Mountain?" Sylvia flapped her black angel wings and landed elegantly.

"She hasn’t answered yet, but it seems she doesn’t want to." Yuuki was troubled, but she was also clueless about why the spider lady looked sad.

"Then, that will be problematic. Ely wants her to join the Sacred Mountain as the forest dweller rank. What should we do? Hmm..." Sylvia tapped her chin as she was troubled too. She started to think of a way to give this spider lady a bit of enlightenment.

"!?" The Spider Queen was beyond shocked when another 10th Rank demon came.

Her instincts screamed to warn her. These 10th Rank ladies would do something terrible to her if she refused their master’s offer. Therefore, she immediately knelt down and answered passionately. "Please allow me to follow the great master and join his sacred domain!"

"Oh, she’s convinced. Rest assured, you will never suffer in the Sacred Mountain if you behave well. But, it would be best if you got some lessons and enlightenment first, little girl~" Sylvia put her finger on her cheek and grinned faintly.

Unfortunately, it looked like an eerie devilish smirk in the Spider Queen’s eyes. She was an 8th Rank expert but a helpless little spider in front of the ladies before her.

Sylvia began her little sermon and enlightenment to convert the spider lady into her belief.

Yuuki facepalmed as she didn’t know what to do with this devil girl. Even so, she still let Sylvia do the rest.
