Devouring Monarch: Rebirth of the Profane Phoenix

Asura thought Xavida might have discovered he had just done something with another woman. The scent of Lucretia was thicker than her or Mu Xue, but the sleepy dragon skipped over to his bed with her tail tapping the ground.

"Bad guy... sleepy..."

The next moment, her body fell onto his and wrapped herself around Asura, nuzzling his chest while her tail held him close to her.

'Xavida... Why aren't you angry? Didn't she notice Lucretia's scent?'

Before he realised, the girl was already half asleep and seemed to not care about the scent of another woman, but female dragons were a strange race when it came to sharing their males so Asura wasn't sure.

Asura felt a little guilty, but her body became too warm and comfortable, so he he slept, holding Xavida in his arms as she breathed softly. Only to feel her tail stroking his back.

⁜ Lucretia POV

"Instructor Lucretia, are you okay?"

When she got outside the wilds, a group of knights who saw what happened greeted her with cheerful voices. They saw Lucretia state, blushing with messy clothes, but they didn't care.

"Instructor Lucretia, Knight Lorem sent us to help you return using a teleport stone." One knight asked, his eyes flashing with respect after seeing the battle between her and the Stage Four Assassin.

Lucretia smiled calmly, waving her hand. "Thank you. Please lead the way."

Her mind remained blank. Because of Asura's confession, kiss, and touch, she felt happy, embarrassed, and guilty.

'Ahhh... Asura molested me, and I felt so good. I tricked him as a joke. Then he touched me, licked me, and played with my body. Stupid Lucretia, he's your student!'

She felt conflicted despite her body still feeling extreme delight from the afterglow of her climax. Lucretia wanted to return to her room and wait for these fluffy feelings to fade, but now the image of that girl climbing into bed with Asura made her feel tight in her chest. Lucretia hoped they did nothing after she was gone.

'Stupid Asura... Making me feel jealous.'

Lucretia sighed, following the knights to the teleportation stone, which glowed brightly, sending her back to the royal city.

⁜ Asura POV

The morning arrived quickly, and Asura woke up, Xavida still clinging to his body, her tail coiled around him as she slept soundly, breathing softly. Because he didn't need that long to sleep, somehow, when with Mu Xue or Xavida, he could sleep hours just listening to the gentle sounds of their breathing and movements.

'Today... Should we hunt aggressively or attack the prince? I stole two of the assassin's outfits, so it should be fine. However, maybe I should help Xavi reach the Late stage of Stage Three to fight against the Stage Four protector that will probably appear. Hmmm...'

Asura decided he would train Xavida today, hunting aggressively until tomorrow.

"Bad guy... food?"

Suddenly, Xavida woke up, her tail rubbing his body, slithering like a snake before tapping his cheek as she smiled sweetly, her eyes staring at Asura. He leaned forward, kissing her soft pink cheek scales, sniffing her neck while enjoying her body trembling and trying to escape him.

"No~ don't sniff. I smell bad..."

"Sure. I'll cook some fish for you while you get clean, haha!"

Xavida's eyes lit up as she giggled, her tail releasing Asura, letting him stand and stretch, then turned to reach into her bag for a cleaning item, only for Asura to grapple her from behind, pushing her onto the bed, his nose sniffing her neck while her body quivered, feeling his warm lips kissing her neck and licking her soft scales almost paralysing her.

"Bad guy~ stop sniffing, stop kissing... I'll get horny. I stink... I want to eat fish."

Asura laughed, releasing Xavida, who pouted, her eyes staring daggers at him before turning away, her tail tapping the ground as she rushed towards the small makeshift bath out of the crystal's view that Asura created. Her body jumped in with a splash, causing Asura to shake his head.

'Mu Xue... this girl is too cute. Forgive me for not meeting up with you sooner.'

Asura sighed, walking towards the cooking area and pulling out a large fish he caught yesterday before cutting it into pieces, seasoning it with salt, herbs, and spices from the wilds, and then placing them on a metal plate to cook.

'Now, I wonder how Lucretia is doing? I can't believe she was so sensitive and easy to feel... Her taste lingers in my mouth.'

Asura blushed slightly, remembering last night, but he shook his head.

'No... I'm with Xavida now. Let's not become total scum.'

"Bad guy~ food ready?" Xavida shouted from the bath, her tail splashing the water, causing Asura to smile and nod, calling her over.

"Come over after getting dressed. Breakfast is almost ready."

Xavida giggled, jumping out of the bath, her naked body running towards Asura, her wet scales glistening in the sunlight as she moved gracefully despite her childish actions. Asura was a jealous man.

He flicked a knife towards one crystal that almost captured her body, causing it to explode.

"Xavida, next time, do as I say! Other people are watching you."

"Ehehe~ darling is jealous and cute." Xavida giggled, wearing her clothes before sitting next to Asura, her tail tapping the ground as he served the cooked fish on a plate, adding some vegetables and fruits he gathered yesterday.

"Here. Eat up. We have a busy day ahead of us."

Xavida's eyes lit up, her tail wagging excitedly as she stared at the delicious food. Her stomach growled, causing Asura to laugh and add half of his plate to hers, which earned him a warm, wet, greasy kiss on his cheek, her slimy tongue licking his black scales of fish residue on them...

"Bad guy~ thank you. You're the best husband ever."

Xavida giggled, eating happily, her tail tapping Asura's thigh as he ate, thinking about Lucretia.

'Instructor Lucretia... Sorry. I molested you last night. I hope you can forgive me.'

Asura sighed, his eyes looking at the beautiful sunrise. He felt his actions were just like the prince last night, and the moment he started, it felt like his instinct as a dragon and devil became too strong to resist hearing a grown woman almost the same age as his mother moaning and making such lewd gestures melted his brain.

'Well, whatever...'

[Such a perverted boy, but you are only 18. Don't be so hard on yourself. Imagine it was me. Would you still have let me escape?]

'...No comment.'

Helia sighed, her voice giggling inside Asura's mind before falling silent, enjoying breakfast with Xavida and Asura. Thinking this was likely the last moment of peace for the next few weeks and let Asura enjoy it.

⁜ Lucretia POV

Meanwhile, Lucretia returned to her room, her body lying on the bed, her cheeks red as she recalled last night. However, Lorem sat across the room with a wicked smile and tapped Lucretia as if she knew something had happened.

"Lucretia~ did something happen? Your clothes are a mess, and your face is bright red."

Lucretia's eyes narrowed, her body sitting up as she glared at Lorem, who smiled sweetly, her eyes staring at Lucretia as if waiting for answers.

"Nothing happened. Nothing at all."

Lorem giggled, shaking her head. "Lucretia~ don't lie to your best friend and master. Did Asura do something? I have one of the secret crystals here, you know?"

In Lorem's hand, a smaller crystal seemed to be her private use item than the schools, but the fact this existed meant Lorem probably saw everything!

"..."

Lucretia's face turned bright red, her eyes staring at Lorem, who laughed loudly, rolling on the bed.

"Hahahaha, I can't believe you let Asura molest you!"

Lucretia covered Lorem's mouth, glaring at her, her eyes showing anger. "Shut up! It was an accident."

"Oh~ really? So, Asura accidentally stripped you naked, sucked on your tits and fingered you until you climaxed? Hahaha, you naughty girl."

"..."

Lucretia couldn't answer because she knew Lorem was right. Instead, she grabbed Lorem, hugging her tightly, her body trembling as she remembered Asura's touch, kiss, and the intense feelings he gave her.

"Master... What do I do? I like Asura."

Lorem smiled, patting Lucretia's head and stroking her hair gently. "Then go for it. Since it happened, why not just have him pop your decrepit cherry?"

"Decrepit Cherry!? Master, I am only 32 years old. My body is still young and fertile!"

Lorem laughed, nodding her head. "Really? Lucretia~ you haven't been with anyone since you became obsessed with money and training. How do you know? What if it's out of season and mouldy?"

"..."

Lucretia remained silent, her body lying on Lorem, who stroked her hair, calming her down.

"Well, don't worry; just because he has two women already, someone like that brat will probably have more than six women before he rises to the top. Why not take your seat before some other hussies take it?"

Lucretia nodded, her eyes staring at Lorem seriously. "Master~ what should I do? Can you give me advice?"

Lorem chuckled, trying not to show her inexperience as she remembered when she chased Sura with her strange dishes and inventions. Her lips curled into a nostalgic smile before leaning against the wall, crossing her legs as Lucretia eagerly awaited advice.

"Okay. Listen closely, Lucretia~ there are three things you must do. First, make Asura fall for you. Second, make him addicted to you. Third, make sure no one else takes your spot!"

Lucretia nodded, her eyes staring at Lorem seriously.

These tips were so bad, but for Lucretia, with a romantic experience of zero, it felt like some kind of scholar advised her.

"First, seduce Asura with your body. Show him how sexy and cute you are. Second, make him addicted to you fiercely. When training with him, make his eyes look towards you alone, then transform into something else at night! Become sexy and cute and always give him what he wants. Third, ensure no one else takes your spot by marking him as yours."

Lucretia felt the advice was amazing before Lorem's gaze changed, becoming serious.

"What Stage were the assassins? There might be more attacks, and now they will be guarded against our interference..."

Lucretia explained the situation, including Asura killing twelve Stage Two assassins and the Stage Three leader.

"So, the cultists took Prince Valos hostage and want to kill Asura. Well, it seems Bernard is planning something again, Lucretia~ let's see what happens. If they try to kill Asura, we will save him."

"But!?"

"Remember, this is Asura's challenge. It is his chance to grow stronger and evolve. Like the great war with you... Do you want to take away his chances to rise?"

Lucretia nodded, understanding Lorem's words. However, she felt uneasy, leaving Asura to fight alone.

'Asura... Stay safe. I won't let you die, but I'll hold back unless you are about to die.'
