Chapter 79 Lilith, Call Me Master

Chapter 80 Lilith, Call Me Master (Seeking First Subscription!)

Or rather, this is something that no one can agree with.

Anyone who knows this truth, whether it's Felicity, Natalie, or Cecilia, will develop a vicious hatred for Lilith.

Because Lilith carelessly trampled on the things they couldn't get and the things they cried over, even though they were the ones who arrived first. Yet, Rhodes' final choice was Lilith.

Who can know the bitterness in my heart?

Sobbing uncontrollably, self-harming in defeat, and offering a weary yet forced smile of blessing.

These are all emotions they share.

But Cecilia also realized an interesting fact.

It seems that Lilith is destined to lose in this lifetime.

The arrogant goddess has been stripped of her ugly truth, which means she will never be able to deceive Rhodes in any way again.

Interesting, interesting — when the story is told again, everything becomes interesting.

Her inner turmoil intensified, her breath growing hot with the warmth of Rhodes's body; desire was rising within her.

Sensing the strange presence behind him, Rhodes called out, "There's no need. It's better for us to just let each other go now. I don't want any more entanglement. All I'm doing now is pressuring her to leave on her own."

"Rather than Lilith's problem, you are the biggest trouble in my eyes."

"—I was just playing a game with you, darling, to force you to become stronger." Cecilia's anger vanished, and she smiled again.

"I love watching you make choices, whether it's giving up something, saving something, or changing something."

""

"Even if I see the very end, even if I see you kill me with your own hands—" Her eyes were slightly closed, "I would still die willingly."

"So, let's make this game a little more interesting, hehe. On your coming-of-age day, you'll make a choice, an interesting choice."

"My choice is irrelevant, but you should understand that you have to leave the stage," Rhodes replied calmly. "Even though we're both reborn, the power you can wield is far less than mine."

"Ah—that's right, but there's one condition for me to stay here: I need to see things settle down before I can leave."

Cecilia smiled and said that was indeed what she thought.

There is no doubt that she is currently unable to successfully defeat Phillips.

After all, her trump card, the [Sea-dwelling Species], had not yet been fully developed. Ivina's coming-of-age ceremony being held early meant that she could no longer control the nobles in the eastern cities.

Even if the trump card of the [Sea-dwelling Species] is fully developed, it can only be used to stir up panic in Phillips and create an interesting crisis for Rhodes and his companions.

Therefore, her current stay here to continue fighting Rhodes is actually to see if Rhodes will accept her true form, and also to see if, in this second life, Rhodes will be more lenient towards her.

Or rather, since you've at least prepared half of the [sea creature] toys, you should at least use them before leaving the stage.

"Is that so? Do as you please. No matter how you destroy the city or how you try to control and develop your demonic territory, I will wipe them all out."

"It's cruel, but that's the real you," Cecilia said as a final remark.

Then, she released Rod's hand—

"Well then, goodbye, darling. The next time we meet is in two days for my coming-of-age ceremony."

sough-

Like the wind, Cecilia's clone dissipated.

Her last vestige of form dissipated and vanished in the air, leaving only Rhodes standing there, lost in silence.

And the corridors of this maze suddenly disappeared.

Cecilia's clone ability is very strong. Its biggest feature is that it actually has no offensive power at all, and it doesn't even have any demonic aura. So, Rhode wasn't afraid just now not only because he believed that Cecilia wouldn't attack him, but also because she couldn't attack him either.

But that's actually her most shameless trait.

Because most demon-protection devices, even witch-protection devices, cannot isolate her.

But these aren't really the main points.

For Rhodes, he was just a little annoyed that things were getting complicated.

I have no idea what Cecilia is planning to do at his coming-of-age ceremony to disgust him.

Hopefully, we can safely bring Ivina out of the Duke's mansion and then definitively thwart Cecilia's scheme.

He sighed softly and left the corridor, but when he reached the central connecting corridor, he encountered something that made him unhappy again.

As he reached the corner, he encountered Lilith.

Lilith didn't change her outfit today; she still wore a light blue dress paired with her star-like hair, and her eyes still held that fearsome, aloof arrogance.

But the moment she saw Rhodes, seven-tenths of her cold arrogance vanished, and she quickly walked towards him. "Rhodes—"

She tried to reach out and gently grasp Rod's hand, but Rod simply shook off her arm, avoiding her grasp.

"Just say what you need to say, Miss Lilith." Rhodes maintained his indifferent demeanor.

For him, indifference was also a weapon to protect himself, a weapon to prevent himself from being offended by Lilith's actions.

When Lilith realized her hands were empty, her face stiffened, and her heart pounded for a while before she could barely suppress the bitterness in her heart.

Her inner regret was naturally intense. Since last night, she had felt increasingly remorseful for not being able to say it on the altar.

She ruined something that could have been accomplished simply by speaking it out, and now Rhodes is unwilling to even touch her.

She was indeed wrong, terribly wrong, so she was willing to try to salvage the relationship.

She spoke softly, "No, I just came to protect you. That's what I asked of you before."

, "

Rhodes lowered his eyes.

This guy still won't give up—

He'd already said enough hurtful things yesterday, and he'd made it clear that staying any longer would only mean him harassing her, yet she still refused to leave.

Even though it's the same game, if she were willing to do something herself, she would still have a chance to snatch the godhood from him, right?

Rhodes' earlier displeasure resurfaced, and he glanced at Lilith with disdain: "Is that so? Then you'd better protect me properly."

"9

"Well, as long as I can still be by your side—I just want you to look at me a little more." Lilith placed her hand on her chest, her eyelashes drooping.

"You're overthinking it. No matter how many seconds you stay next to me, I'll ignore you for just as many seconds."

You used to use me as a tool, so now I'll use you as a tool too, is that alright?

Rhodes smiled slightly as he faced Lilith. At that moment, the grievances in Lilith's heart were reignited. "I—" she tried to speak.

But she also knew that she had lost Rhodes' trust.

Therefore, in the end, she could only endure the pain of regret and said, "I didn't use you as a tool—but you won't believe me, so even if you use me as a tool, I won't say anything."

"Oh. Well then—I'll give you my first request for today."

"Yes." Lilith nodded.

"Go, change me into a maid's outfit first, then call me master to take a look."

Click—

Lilith's face froze.
