Book 5: Chapter 109: Madness
After Skarst left, silence returned to the room. Only the obscene sound of Lunaâs rhythmic slurping could be heard. Anger welled up inside Lilith as she watched Luna bask in pure bliss.
Skarst had watched the fun and Princess Luna had satisfied her desire, yet Lilith was left emotionally damaged.
âHow much longer are you going to keep⦠licking?â
In the blink of an eye, Lilithâs barefoot glowed with the luster of white jade and transformed into a flawless work of art. However, this âwork of artâ exuded an oppressive aura comparable to a colossal beast from the heavens that had descended to crush a mere cricket.
Lunaâs imperfect domain spontaneously activated in response, emitting an enchanting light. Naturally, the imperfect domain could not withstand the force of Lilithâs foot with her White Jade Style activated.
Even with Lilith holding back by fifty percent, the imperfect domain crumbled beneath the force of her foot. Lilithâs powerful kick landed precisely on Princess Lunaâs cheek, driving half of her face into the wooden floor.
This had only happened because of Lilithâs last-minute restraint. Otherwise, the entire floor could have collapsed under her foot.
In this humiliating position, where her face was under Lilithâs relenting foot, Princess Luna displayed no anger. Instead, half of her face bore an immensely satisfied smile.
âT-This⦠This feeling⦠It still fascinates me to this dayâ¦â
Lilith could feel the veins in her temples throbbing. She slowly lifted her dainty foot, then brought it crashing down once more.
BAM!
âI love itâ¦â
BAM!
âMoreâ¦â
BAM!
âAh⦠Keep goingâ¦â
Downstairs, Skarst had a cup of freshly made wolfberry and red date tea in his hand as he listened to the intense commotion coming from above.
He sighed with a nostalgic expression on his face and remarked, âAh, the joy of youth. Theyâre bursting with energy. Iâd say they are at least half as spirited as I was in my prime.â
âââââââ
Huff⦠Huffâ¦!
After delivering dozens of successive stomps, even Lilith found herself slightly out of breath.
Stomping on people was not physically taxing; instead, it was rather satisfying. However, doing so without inadvertently destroying the building required precise control. Over time, it did become somewhat tiring.
Princess Luna, the person being stepped on, showed no signs of discomfort. She was grinning from ear to ear, and her flushed face was now glistening with sweat.
While Lilith continued to step on her, Princess Luna relied on her dragon bloodline reflexes and seized every opportunity to lick the sole of Lilithâs foot! She was truly a supreme pervert!
Nevertheless, Lilith had no intention of yielding to such an extreme pervert. She was, after all, the princess of the Dragon Clan, the first genius in a thousand years. She was the Queenâs beloved daughter, destined to carry the Queenâs bloodline and the future hope of the entire Dragon Clan.
How could she surrender to a pervert like this? Today, she had to teach this audacious pervert a lesson or, at the very least, ensure she would not simply challenge her dignity.
Yes, this was all for her dignity! Not because she had inherited a small sadistic streak from her mother!
âCornelia!â
âEeyah?â
Little Cornelia peeked out from beneath her covers, blinking her drowsy eyes at Lilith.
âCreate a temporary little world for the two of us.â
âEeyah, eeyah.â
With her pudgy finger, Little Cornelia casually drew a circle in the air. From this circle, a sea of pure white extended in all directions. In just the blink of an eye, all Lilith could see was white.
She took a deep breath, closed her eyes and sensed the surroundings. The air and the concentration of magical energy felt identical to their real world. The featureless, white ground felt as solid as reality.
Howeverâ¦
âThis is too dull.â
âEeyah, eeyah!â
Little Corneliaâs voice echoed around them, tinged with dissatisfaction. A gentle breeze stirred, carrying yellow sand that solidified into soil. Seeds sprouted and grew, giving birth to green weeds and colorful wildflowers.
The spot where Lilith had been standing was no longer a void of whiteness but a vast continent resembling their actual world.
Observing her surroundings, Lilith plucked a weed and tried it, causing her to scrunch her face at the bitter taste.
Little Cornelia was swiftly regaining her power, almost frighteningly fast. Lilith wondered if her memories would ever return. If they did, what should she do? Should she unleash the Dragon Eater within and beat her up mercilessly, orâ¦
âThis is a⦠little world?â
Beside them, Princess Luna seemed to have regained her senses as the world around them transformed. Her hands shook as she scooped a handful of soil.
âDo dragons carry a little world with them all the time?â
Of course not. Creating a small world was a power akin to that of a demigod, a skill bordering on the Divine Realm. Even among the Dragon Clan, achieving such a feat would be considered impossible.
âWait, did you say dragon?â
Lilith looked at Princess Luna in shock and quickly denied it. âIâm not a dragon! Thatâs nonsense.â
Princess Luna tilted her head to one side and stared at Lilith with a peculiar look in her eyes. âOf course, you are. No one but a real dragon could suppress someone with the highest purity of dragon blood in the entire imperial family through Bloodline Suppression.â
âHow is that possible? I⦠have, at most, a little more dragon blood in my body than you do, just a tiny bit. Iâm definitely not a dragon!â Lilith playfully poked her dimples and flashed a sweet smile. âLook, how can someone as cute as me possibly be a terrifying, ugly a̲s̲s̲ dragon?â
âBut even the head of the Emona family, who condensed most of his bodyâs blood into dragon blood through external means, could not suppress me for even a moment. I can sense that your Bloodline Suppression isnât merely about the quantity of your dragon blood but also quality. It is one that can potentially suppress even Lord Taylor!ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Princess Luna stated with confidence, âYou are a dragon, Master Lilith, and your status within the Dragon Clan surpasses even that of Lord Taylor!â
Lilith was taken aback by Lunaâs astute observation and the fact that she had pieced together so much with just a hint.
Another possible reason might be that Princess Luna was too weak, and therefore Cornelia did not find it necessary to brainwash her. Yet, she was not truly bothered by her discovery.
âFine, Iâll admit it. I am indeed a dragon.â Lilith shrugged casually, her eyes locked on Princess Lunaâs. âSo, you suddenly came to lick my feet to gain favor because Iâm a dragon?â
âHuh?â Princess Luna appeared perplexed by Lilithâs statement. She looked bewildered for a moment before her expression shifted to one of anger.
âOf course not! I donât care if youâre a legendary dragon. Even if itâs Lord Taylor, whom even my father has to speak to with reverence, Iâd only humble myself when seeking his advice. Iâm not interested in something as dull as status. I came to see you because you can give me the thrill I desire the most!â
âIs that so?â Lilith could not detect any hint of insincerity in Lunaâs expression.
She briefly closed her eyes and, upon reopening them, her molten golden pupils shone like brilliant suns rising as she solemnly stared at the young girl in front of her.
Lilith remained in the same spot, lowering her center of gravity and assuming a fighting stance for the first time in a long while.
âCome on then, Princess Luna. Let me see if what you say is true. This time, I wonât use Bloodline Suppression. Give it your all. If youâre truly here for pleasure, this is what you want most, isnât it?â
The flush that had momentarily vanished due to the shock of the little world now returned to cover Princess Lunaâs face. She held the gaze of Lilithâs golden dragon pupils fearlessly. Every muscle in her body, every bead of sweat, was screaming for battle.
âY-Youâre⦠right. This is what I want. I thought something was missing, and it turns out this is it.â
The audible cracking of dislocated bones echoed throughout Lunaâs body once again.
Just when Lilith anticipated another half-dragon transformation with grotesque bone spurs and exoskeletons, a pair of black dragon wings tore through Lunaâs back and dress, spreading dramatically.
The wind howled, and Luna floated up in the air!
Aside from the newly grown dragon wings, there were no other visible dragon-like features on her body. Her eyes did not even adopt the unique golden hue of the dragon bloodline.
Lunaâs long dress fluttered as she gazed down at Lilith with fascination.
âI see⦠I was wrong. Before meeting Master Lilith, I thought everything was boring, so I was addicted to power. After meeting Master Lilith, I thought that the pleasure of being humiliated by you could fill the void in my heart. I thought I had changed, that I was no longer pursuing the same thing, but I was wrong, I hadnât changed.â
âFrom the beginning to the end, I am who I am. I am the noble princess of the imperial family, and I am also a submissive b̲i̲t̲c̲h̲ wagging her tail in front of you. Iâve never changed. Iâve only become greedier after meeting Master Lilith. I donât simply yearn for power, and I donât simply yearn for pleasure. I want both!â
The wind whirled around Princess Luna, tousling her long hair in every direction. Her flushed face was consumed by an unprecedented frenzy⦠and madness!
âSo, Master Lilith! Forgive my audacity, forgive my transgression, and, as youâve said, I will utilize all my strength and knowledge to challenge and defeat you! Please, show no mercy. Treat me as a mayfly shaking a tree, or a worm that overestimated her own abilities! Use your superior power to ruthlessly ravage, crush, and knock me down!â
A faint golden flame began to envelop Princess Lunaâs body. Her aura surged rapidly, and the imperfect domain she had created expanded and solidified, maturing into a genuine domain.
Lilith finally understood why Princess Lunaâs half-dragon transformation had only given her a pair of dragon wings. Luna had used the precious dragon blood within her as pure fuel, forging it into the furnace of her own body!
âOh, Master Lilith! I will be over the moon if you can ruthlessly shatter every bone in my body!â
