Reader’S Regeneration Life [EN]: Chapter 396

This Time

“…Crazy woman.”

For such harsh words to come from Xia’s mouth meant the person in front of her was truly insane.

Or at least behaving strangely enough to warrant such an assessment.

“Ah, damn it. Shut your mouth, it’s noisy.”

Lilith, who had been sleeping in until I returned, stretched languidly.

Even after that, she scratched her stomach and slept soundly for a while, but suddenly, she opened her eyes wide and shot up, her face contorted in a scowl.

Then, she screamed and stomped her feet, raising her hand to strike the floor.

“You really!

You said you wouldn’t do anything stupid during the war!

You son of a bitch!”

“…?”

What the hell is going on?

Has that demon woman finally gone mad?

She was sleeping soundly, and now she’s acting like this. Is she sleepwalking, or has she really lost her mind?

Xia was already disturbed because of Kim Yu-hyun, and now Lilith, whom she was supposed to be monitoring, was causing a ruckus, leaving Xia bewildered.

“Aoooogh!”

Whether she knew Xia’s feelings or not, Lilith simply screamed and continued to express her anger.

In Lilith’s position, she had every reason to be angry and annoyed. Zion, who seemed to be holding up well after the war, had finally taken another woman.

She had made it clear that she should be the first in line if he were to take another woman, and he had even promised. Zion himself had broken that promise, so she couldn’t help but feel even more furious.

“Who the hell did you sleep with this time!”

Lilith was so angry that she forgot Xia was even there, completely caught up in her rage.

She was so agitated that her true form, which she usually kept hidden, momentarily surfaced. Her skin turned pale, and a black tail subtly emerged from her rear.

Startled by the sight, Xia wondered if this high-ranking demon was about to do something strange and glared at her with tense anticipation.

“…Haa.”

Fortunately, contrary to Xia’s worries, Lilith sighed and suppressed her anger.

Of course, the grinding of her teeth and the deep gouges in the floor, as if a monster had rolled around on it, showed that she hadn’t completely calmed down.

“…Hey, Xia.”

“Yes?”

“I’m not exactly sorry, but I’ll say it anyway since it’s something to be sorry about from your perspective.

I’m sorry, but could you get lost for a bit, like you did before?

I want to be alone.”

“Haa?

What nonsense are you talking about?

What are you planning to do while I’m gone?

What are you plotting that makes you so confident in making such an absurd request?”

“Wouldn’t I be saying this because I’m not planning anything?

You have some sense, don’t you?

Do you think I’m crazy enough to use some ridiculous trick in front of the highest-ranking celestial being?”

“…”

Listening to Lilith, it was certainly true.

When other high-ranking demons acted independently out of arrogance and foolishly charged alone, only to be killed by the highest-ranking celestials, Lilith didn’t rush to help them.

If she couldn’t do anything right away, she would bide her time and gather the most important information first.

Rudo had even been tricked by Lilith back then and exposed important information.

Compared to other high-ranking demons who died because they trusted in their strength and acted recklessly, Lilith, even if her combat power was slightly lacking, wasn’t as foolish or intoxicated by her own strength.

If she was smart, she wouldn’t use such an obvious trick.

“…It’s quite amusing for a demon to make such a request to a celestial being.”

“If we’re going to talk about that, you know you’re funny too, right?

At some point, you stopped calling yourselves the descendants of light and started calling yourselves celestials, and even though you’re supposed to be monitoring me, you don’t seem particularly wary.”

At Lilith’s words, Xia let out a groan.

If it were the old her, she would have done anything to eliminate Lilith out of a sense of duty to the light, or at least stayed by her side to monitor her and gather information.

But the constant doubts and hesitations…

Because of them, Xia no longer felt the sparkling heart or sense of duty she once had.

She didn’t feel that it was the right thing to do, or that it was something she should do, so naturally, her body didn’t follow.

“Don’t tell me you’ve fallen for my whispers and are actually doubting the light?

That would be quite amusing.”

Even with such blatant provocation, Xia didn’t fall for it.

Lilith, realizing that this was clear evidence that she really did doubt the light, realized that Zion was aiming for their own division and didn’t say any more.

She didn’t want to say anything more here and accidentally inject a different energy into Xia’s heart, which was already cracking.

However, Xia stubbornly refused to leave Lilith’s side.

She said that she couldn’t imagine leaving her side while she was awake and actively doing things, even if she had been asleep.

‘Sigh.

Those light-crazed races, as expected.’

At this point, she had no choice but to wait for Zion to come here himself and either rescue her or kick Xia out.

The more strongly she resisted, the weaker Xia’s doubts about the light would become, and it could become an opportunity for her to refocus on her duties.

‘Hurry up, Zion.

You should be rushing here to beg for forgiveness, so why are you so late?

You’ve already pulled out a few times and enjoyed the afterglow, but you’re still not here?’

Lilith gritted her teeth inwardly and waited for Zion to open the entrance to the barracks.

She wanted to burst out of here and grab her man by the collar, but if she did, it would not only be a problem with Xia, but it would also negate all her past efforts to appear calm and unconcerned whenever jealousy reared its head.

For that reason, she suppressed her anger and spent time cooped up in the barracks with the celestial being, but in the end, Zion didn’t show up until late afternoon, after lunch.

Instead, just before evening, Kim Yu-hyun suddenly came and took Xia away.

‘What is going on?’

Zion, whom she had naturally expected to come soon, was far too late, and now she felt more curious and resentful than angry.

She had confidently said that she wasn’t jealous, but in the end, she was also a woman.

Moreover, Zion himself had acknowledged her as his first woman and the first person he had given his heart to.

Accordingly, Lilith had abandoned all her titles as Succubus Queen and high-ranking demon and clung to him as just one woman, spending a very happy time.

Even as more and more women appeared by Zion’s side, she was clearly confident.

She was confident in her position, and Zion had acknowledged her as the first.

‘Fool.

Just saying you’re the first doesn’t make all my insecurities disappear.’

Rather, because she was the first, she wanted to be with him more, more deeply, and for longer.

She said that her competitors, whether human, beastkin, or fairy, were all inferior to her as a demon, but they were all women in their prime, so it would only take a moment for the virile Zion to turn his attention to them.

Lilith was concerned about that very point and was secretly worried, but if Zion acted as she feared, she would be truly miserable.

“…Did I become a little lax because I thought I was definitely his after signing the contract?”

That could be the case.

And she couldn’t leave Zion’s side after signing the contract.

Lilith herself acknowledged that.

But she couldn’t help but wonder if he could treat her a little more specially since she was the one who had signed the contract.

“Lady Lilith?”

The first person to visit her in the barracks where she was alone was none other than Rishiki.

Zion’s bodyguard and another woman of Zion’s, though she would never admit it, entered, and Lilith nodded to welcome her.

“…It’s not you?”

“Yes?”

Lilith sniffed for a moment and muttered.

Lucia, Trisha, and Lia were away, and the only ones by Zion’s side were herself, Rishiki, and Zhan.

Among them, Zhan was currently leading his warriors and patrolling the area, and he had expressed his desire to focus only on combat on the battlefield.

That meant that Rishiki was the only one who could possibly share intimate moments with Zion, but no matter how much she sniffed, she couldn’t smell Zion’s scent at all.

“Rishi, did anyone come by in the meantime?”

“Yes?

Ah, Helen came and left a little while ago.”

“Helen… you mean that fairy.”

The owner of Hynes Merchant Group and a fairy woman with a rather unfortunate past.

It was said that men were quite sensitive to women’s tragedies, so Lilith thought it was natural for Zion to take care of Helen.

That might be why he broke his promise with her and took another woman.

‘He acts like a bad boy, but he can’t do it at the most important moments.

What an idiot.’

Lilith knew roughly how miserable the life of a slave was.

She thought it was natural for Zion to care more about Helen, who had lived through such a painful past, so she felt a little better, but she wasn’t completely relieved.

“Master is looking for Lady Lilith.”

“Zion is looking for me?

Not that he’s coming to me?”

“Yes.

He said he had his reasons…”

Rishiki trailed off, noticing Lilith’s terrible expression.

He should be coming to comfort her, but now he’s even telling her to come to him.

Lilith felt the flames in her heart, which she had barely suppressed, rising fiercely again.

She thought that Zion’s heart might be slowly loosening because she wasn’t angry, so she decided to convey her intentions a little more seriously this time.

She decided to give a warning because it would be quite troublesome if the other person misunderstood that she was only losing because she couldn’t win, even though the other person could win.

‘I need to properly show him why demons are demons.’

However, the moment Lilith entered Zion’s barracks, that determination melted away.

Unlike his usual barracks, only a few candles were lit, creating a very calm atmosphere inside.

Inside, Zion greeted Lilith not with his usual confident demeanor, but with a polite air, like a butler welcoming a young lady from a noble family.

“Welcome, Lady Lilith.”

“…Zion?”

“I heard you were feeling a bit stiff the other day, so I was wondering if I could give you a massage.”

“A massage?”

At Lilith’s question, Zion led her to his bed.

Then, he told her that all she had to do was take off her clothes and lie face down on it, which calmed Lilith’s anger and raised her expectations.

“What are you doing right now?”

“Taking care of Lady Lilith?”

“Liar.

If you were going to take care of me, you should have done it for me first, not Helen.”

Then Zion slowly shook his head, saying, ‘Ah, that?’

“I couldn’t help it.

I had to pay Helen back for what she did right away, but unfortunately, that’s all she wanted.”

“If that’s the case, you could have put it on the ledger and paid it later.”
“Helen wanted to give this to Lady Lilith.

However, she said she had a hard time getting it, so she wanted to be compensated now.”

“Give what?”

At Lilith’s question, Zion showed her a translucent liquid from his arms.

Seeing that, Lilith exclaimed, ‘Huh?’ and opened her mouth.

“Isn’t that sky tree oil [a rare and precious oil extracted from the Sky Tree, often used for cosmetic and therapeutic purposes]?

I heard it’s very precious, something that fairy women use to groom themselves, but how did you get that…?”

“I told you.

It’s a gift from Helen to Lilith.

But since it’s such a precious item, I paid the price right away so that I wouldn’t have any trouble later.”

Zion said that and patted the bed as if to tell her to lie down quickly.

At that, Lilith let out a hmm and deliberately showed a bit of hesitation.

Even though she was secretly feeling better.

“Well, I guess it’s good to indulge her a little, considering Helen’s efforts?”

“Of course.

Lie down quickly.”

Even if he wasn’t as good as that Hassan guy who specializes in massages, it was okay.

After all, all Zion was aiming for was the current atmosphere and to ease Lilith’s heart.

Swish―.

Lilith, who had taken off her top, lay face down on the bed, revealing her unique fair skin without reservation.

Zion put the oil on his hands and rubbed them together with his palms, taking care not to startle Lilith with the cold sensation.

“Aah.”

The woman let out a strange moan as the man’s oil-soaked hands touched her skin.

It wasn’t an caress, just a touch and press of her body, but it made her feel like she was floating even more.

Zion, who was slowly and gently rubbing Lilith’s back, gently massaged her shoulders and opened his mouth.

“Were you upset?

I’m sorry.”

“…Hmph.

There’s really no chance next time.

I’ll just let it go this time since you said it was to pay the price, but I’ll really get angry if you do it again next time.”

A clear warning, not just a simple joke.

Zion wasn’t foolish enough to take the warning of Lilith, the highest-ranking demon and Succubus Queen, lightly.

Zion followed Lilith’s back down towards her buttocks and replied that he understood.

After that, he massaged her buttocks, causing Lilith to gradually let out sounds that were hard to tell whether they were moans or not, and he intentionally touched the woman’s crotch before moving down to her thighs.

Lilith flinched every time Zion’s hand came to her private area, but she was trying to hold back because it seemed too awkward to beg from the start. While she was doing that, Zion’s hand moved up again after massaging her thighs, calves, ankles, toes, and soles.

She was about to stay still, thinking that he would just play around a few times and pass by.

“Gasp?”

The man’s finger accurately parted and passed by the woman’s crack.

With the oil on his hands and the woman’s body making her body even more sensitive, Lilith couldn’t help but let out a loud moan.

“You…”

Was he really just going to give her a massage, or was he going to do more?

Lilith trailed off because it was ambiguous for her to ask first, and Zion said with a smile.

“What are you doing?”

“Huh?”

“Turn over.

I have to do the front too.”

Zion smiled and playfully clenched and unclenched his oil-soaked hands.
