The Yellow-Haired Villain in Soaring Phoenix’s Novels Also Desires Happiness

Chapter 74, The Whisper of the Love God (Part Fourteen)

“But do I have a choice?”

Mu En suddenly smiled nonchalantly.

“Outside, there’s a maid with a great figure, long legs, and a penchant for black stockings, crying and waiting for me to save her.”

“The last woman who cried and begged me was my mother from my past life, who forced me out to find a girlfriend.”

“So, come on, King of Withering.”

Mu En spread his arms wide:

“In times like this, I’m not one to fear a mere dark god.”

【Hmph】

The King of Withering scoffed disdainfully.

As if mocking the audacity of an ant.

Yet, even if just an ant, if it can bring forth a splendid performance, isn’t it worth my while to stop and watch?

Thus.

As you wish.

The endless red earth suddenly trembled.

A gaunt, enormous hand slowly reached out from before Mu En.

The palm was charred black, as if scorched by flames.

And beneath that coal-black skin, Mu En felt a heat that seemed capable of incinerating the world!

The palm reached for Mu En, and then the five fingers… gradually tightened!

Hiss, hiss.

Mu En felt the contact of skin against palm, the burning fingerprints slowly imprinting upon flesh, like some kind of strange totem.

Intense pain and frenzied murmurs filled her mind, erupting into a terrifying desire to simply obliterate the world.

Pain.

So much pain.

Pain that was unbearable.

But this time, even the black book couldn’t help Mu En; she could only rely on herself.

“What on earth is this thing?”

An looked at the approaching head of Ailuka, a hint of despair in her eyes.

She had never felt so powerless; the blessings of the divine had allowed her to naturally step into the ranks of the strong from the moment her abilities awakened.

However, facing this indescribable existence before her, the power she had always relied on lost its invincible effect for the first time.

She couldn’t move, only able to watch helplessly as she… walked towards death.

Holy wings spread wide, ethereal hymns began to play.

The gaze within the pitch-black eyes revealed a hint of greed, and Ailuka’s head opened its mouth once more.

This time, a terrifying suction erupted, gradually stripping something from An’s body.

Along with her soul.

“It seems I can only go this far?”

“What a pity, there were still some things I hadn’t said to the young master yet.”

“Indeed, I am an incompetent maid.”

After trying every struggle.

An knew she had no way out, so she could only close her eyes in resignation.

Waiting for the arrival of death.

“Hey, An.”

But just then, a familiar voice rang out.

Like an illusion, hazy and blurred.

Yet upon hearing that voice, no matter when, no matter where, even if a terrifying evil god stood in front of her, An would definitely open her eyes and look over without hesitation.

Because that was the young master’s voice.

“Didn’t I tell you to straighten your back?”

Unbeknownst to him, Mu En had already freed himself from the invisible shackles and arrived behind the head of the evil god, Ailuka.

He looked at An and said seriously:

“My personal maid wouldn’t give up so easily, would she?”

An stared blankly at Mu En.

Suddenly, her nose felt a bit sour.

But this time, she held it back.

She wouldn’t cry anymore.

Because, the young master doesn’t like to see her in a disheveled state.

So she must always be graceful and strong!

Even in the face of death!

“That’s more like it.”

Seeing An become strong, Mu En smiled.

Then he suddenly turned his head, as if he were embracing a cute girl from behind, tilting his head to affectionately gaze at his beloved.

Mu En stared at Ailuka, no, he should be staring at the terrifying will hidden within Ailuka’s pitch-black eyes.

His expression suddenly grew ferocious!

“Hey, you damned evil god, it seems like you’re planning to do something very bad to my maid.”

Mu En leaned close to Ailuka’s ear and whispered:

“If you want to play a game, why don’t I join you? Just in time, I have something to give you.”

Mu En grabbed onto the sacred wings.

On the skin of his arm, strange burning marks flowed.

Like fingerprints.

Incredibly hot.

In the next moment, Mu En tightened his grip on the wings and tore with all his might.

Those wings, which even steel could not harm, were forcibly ripped away!

As easy as tearing two pieces of paper.

“Roar—”

Ailuka let out an angry roar, the will in his pitch-black eyes coldly staring at Mu En, terrifying malice surging like a tide.

A mere human dared to desecrate a god!

“Oh? You seem quite dissatisfied?”

After tearing off the wings, Mu En suddenly reached out, tightly gripping Ailuka’s cheek.

—

Gaze into His eyes.

The will within those pitch-black orbs was momentarily stunned, then let out a cold laugh.

A mere human dares to meet my gaze?

Look at me…

Huh?

Wait.

Something’s off!

In Mu En’s eyes, there was also a fire burning, and through that crimson flame, a terrifying presence cast a dignified gaze from the boundless red sky above.

Gaze collided with gaze.

In a daze, Mu En heard a disdainful sneer.

【The Pretentious Unclean God】

In Ailuka’s dark eyes, a spark of fire unexpectedly ignited.

Like someone lighting a star in the night.

And this star could burn away the entire darkness.

“Roar—”

Ailuka howled, indistinguishable syllables spilling from her mouth, like the desperate roar of a beast at the end of its road.

She struggled incessantly, trying to break free from Mu En’s stare.

But Mu En’s hands were like iron clamps, firmly holding Ailuka’s head in place.

“What’s wrong? Don’t you love it?”

Mu En bellowed:

“Come, feel my love; this is my gift to you, this is my love, you damn evil god!”

“Accept my affection!”

Crimson flames continuously erupted from Mu En’s skin, then flowed like lava through Ailuka’s mouth and nose, seeping into the profound darkness.

The darkness was scorched by the flames, shrinking as if facing a natural enemy.

And that will hidden in the darkness finally revealed a hint of fear.

And retreat.

Even an evil god can feel fear?

Don’t be a coward, you b*stard.

Come face me head-on!

Mu En grinned savagely.

Whoever flinches is a coward!

At that moment, Mu En felt those pitch-black eyes twitch slightly.

The will in the darkness forcibly severed its gaze from the Withered King and turned its focus onto Mu En.

Ailuka’s lips moved, surprisingly producing a sound belonging to a human.

“Unexpectedly… it just happens to be… the one who restrains me… the Withered…”

“But, it cannot always fix its gaze on a mere human.”

The words came out in a stuttering manner, like a babbling infant.

But before long, the sentences became fluid.

It seemed that for that existence, learning human language was just a matter of a few phrases.

“So.”

In the instant before the darkness dissipated, that will stared at Mu En and spoke with an indifferent tone:

“I remember you.”

“Mu En, Campbell.”

“Huh?”

Mu En was taken aback.

Then his expression turned to one of terror.

“Wait, Divine One, what did you just say?”

“Remember me? I’m just a mere human, how could I be worth remembering?”

“I was just joking; please let me go like I’m nothing!”

“Actually, my name is Lier, not Mu En. You’ve got the wrong person!”

“I’m scared, please let me go!”

“Qiu Ni Gao, don’t look at me like that!”

Mu En’s pleas echoed, but there was already no one… no god to listen.
