Zhang Fei - The Abandoned Son

Feltia inwardly laughed at Ashreth's behavior before showing her the normal demon cores. "I came here to exchange these cores for demon coins, and I also want to find a place to stay in this city for some time."

"Hmm?" Ashreth immediately counted them before shaking her head. "You will only get five thousand demon coins from these fifty demon cores, and they are only enough for you to rent a house in this city for a month, as the cheapest rent is five thousand demon coins."

'Dang! Even renting a house in this city is so expensive!' Feltia then replied to Ashreth. "I think it's not a problem because I won't be staying in this city for too long, and I'll probably only stay for a month before going to look around other cities. Besides, I can still hunt demon beasts to get more demon cores if I'm short on them, so it's not a problem for me."

"That's true." Ashreth then offered something to Feltia. "Would you like to work at my pub? That way, you won't have to rent a house, and I will pay you two hundred demon coins per day, so you won't have to think about such things anymore."

'Eh? The salary isn't that bad, huh? Even though I will still hunt demon beasts, her offer is not bad, and I can get more demon coins.' After thinking about it seriously, Feltia decided to accept her offer. "All right, I will accept your offer, Lady Ashreth."

"That's good." Ashreth responded with a seductive smile and then lifted Feltia behind the bar counter, a feat of strength that surprised her. However, several groups of female demons suddenly entered the pub, their appearances messy, as if they had just fought a strong opponent.

Feltia didn't care much about those female demons, especially since they weren't that strong in her eyes, and she was more curious about Ashreth. 'Hey, Mei, show me this woman's status.'

'Hmm? Mei, which of her abilities should I copy?'

[Master, your demon physique strengthening method has already made your physique much stronger than most demons or cultivators, and it will continue to do so as your cultivation increases further. Also, your stamina is very high, so I suggest you copy her regenerative healing factor, especially since it is a passive ability and will help you recover faster if you suffer any serious injuries.]

'I see.' Feltia nodded in agreement with that. 'All right, I will find a way to copy her regenerative healing factor.'

The female demons immediately approached the counter, prompting Ashreth to ask them questions. "What happened to all of you? Why are your appearances so messy? Aren't you guys looking for that spoiled girl?"

One of them released a heavy sigh before answering her question. "Lady Ashreth, we won't be able to complete that mission, especially since that siren girl entered the death valley, which is really scary."

"We have reached the death valley before, but there are too many strong demon beasts there, so we are not their opponents, Lady Ashreth." Another female demon responded by applying an item like an ointment to the wounds on her hands.

Another female demon was also explained to Ashreth. "They were right, Lady Ashreth. We tried to fight some of them, but their numbers were simply too many, and two of us died there. That's why we decided to retreat and return to this city, or we would die there."

'Hmm? A siren?' Upon hearing that, Feltia raised her eyebrows and immediately opened the map to locate the death valley, assuming the siren girl had a connection to her second quest. Eventually, she pinpointed the death valley's location, only to discover that it was within White Amaris's domain, concealed by a towering mountain range teeming with numerous formidable demon creatures. 'Tch!

I had previously suspected that the area was indeed unusual, and it turned out to be a truly scary place.'

"I see." Ashreth nodded in understanding after listening to their explanation. "All right, you guys can go back to your places and rest, and I will send a stronger group there to rescue that girl, or her mother will blame us for not being able to save her daughter."

"Yes, Lady Ashreth."

"Let's go." Ashreth immediately pulled Feltia into the door behind the bar, and they walked down a wide hallway. However, the hallway was quite frightening, with numerous heads of various demons and demon beasts mounted on the walls. "Are you scared of them? These heads are trophies from the demon hunters who work under me, and most of them come from outside this sub-realm."

"No." Feltia responded by shaking her head. "I've seen much more horrific things before, so these heads have no impact on me. In any case, who is the siren girl that you and your colleagues were discussing earlier, Lady Ashreth? Why do you look so serious about her disappearance?"

Ashreth sighed softly and told Feltia directly. "Her name is Nauvia, and her mother, Nadea, is one of my Lady Black Amaris' loyal servants, so their status is higher than mine. That girl has a naughty, spoiled, and rebellious character, and she has disappeared numerous times, making it difficult for us to save her.

This is particularly challenging because she frequently escapes to the most dangerous places in this sub-realm, and she has also gone to the sub-realms of other rulers before. Even so, the reward for saving her is always big, so the other demon hunters don't care about their personal affairs and aim for the reward."

"Since her mother is one of my Lady Black Amaris' loyal servants, she should be powerful, right? Why doesn't she look for her daughter herself?"

"Ha ha." Ashreth laughed softly while hugging Feltia's arm. "I don't know for sure about life in the sub-realm of other rulers, but life in this sub-realm is completely different and harsh. The tower offers the best life in this sub-realm, but only the chosen demons can gain entry.

Even though Nadea is now one of my lady's loyal followers, her position is never safe, and many other demons are always targeting it. That's why she is unable to leave the tower, constantly focusing on securing her position, fearing that her life would spiral downhill if she were to be expelled from that place."

'Not only humans, but even demons also think about material things, huh?' Feltia then asked Ashreth again. "Lady, do you know anything about the sand demon snake?"

Ashreth immediately stopped walking and looked at Feltia with raised eyebrows. "Did you come to this sub-realm to hunt the sand demon snake? Do you know how powerful that demon beast is?"

"Haha." Feltia laughed awkwardly as she shook her head at Ashreth. "I don't know for sure about the sand demon snake's strength, but I heard that there is a huge reward for killing it. That's why I thought about hunting it, but I don't know its hiding location."

"You are right; the reward for killing the sand demon snake is indeed great, and it lives in a desert in the bright area." Ashreth answered with a nod. However, the demon beast's strength surpasses that of a marquis or a marchioness, and it also possesses immunity to certain elements, such as poison and petrification. Even Kyllia, the strongest in this city, has challenged it once.

However, their battle resulted in her defeat, leaving her with severe injuries. As for you, your demon rank is still at baroness rank, so you should abandon your desire to challenge that beast, or else your death would be in vain."

'The sand demon snake's strength is slightly higher than the marquis and marchioness, huh? If that's true, I can ask Boitata to kill that snake, and he definitely won't have any trouble doing it.' Feltia muttered inwardly as she searched the map for the desert location Ashreth was referring to. She quickly found it, but the demon beast was not visible there.

Could it possibly be lurking beneath the desert? Sigh. I'll devise a plan to reach there later, particularly since the quest doesn't have a time limit. My primary focus will be on increasing my demon rank, but I need to find some female demons first.'

[Why don't you seduce Ashreth directly, Master? Her demon rank is quite high, and you can get a lot of female essence from her.]

Feltia naturally wanted to seduce Ashreth, but she was one of the Amaris Twins' confidants, so she didn't want to rashly seduce her, especially since she herself was in the enemy's nest, which would be detrimental to her. 'Sigh, I'll think of a way to seduce her, but I won't do it anytime soon.'

"Are you still thinking about hunting the snake demon beast?" Ashreth asked through squinted eyes, and Feltia immediately nodded, causing her to sigh heavily. "You are such a daredevil, huh? What if you join one of the demon hunter groups? You can increase your strength while carrying out several missions that suit your demon rank, and you can hunt that snake once you are truly ready."

"That's not a bad idea, and I'll take you up on your offer." Feltia nodded in response before posing another question. "Do you always care about all demons as much as you do about me, Lady Ashreth?"

"Ha ha." Ashreth laughed at Feltia's question. "Honestly, I don't really care if they die while carrying out the mission, and that's actually better because the population in this sub-realm is already too large, and their death will make the competition even less. However, you are such a cute succubi, so I don't want you to die."

'What a ridiculous reason!' Feltia silently spoke. "Why do you care so much about succubi? Do you really like the demons of my race?"

"Yes, I do like succubi, but I hate incubus." Feltia raised her eyebrows after hearing that, and Ashreth then explained it to her. "You must already know that there are only female demons in this realm, right? This is because the two rulers don't like male demons, and neither do the female demons who live here, including me."

"So all female demons in this realm are like people of the same sex, huh?"

"Yes." Ashreth answered with a nod. "Moreover, you, succubi, have some unique abilities that can make us horny and orgasm without having to have sex, right? That's why I like your race; however, there aren't many of them in this sub-realm, so I want you to stay by my side to help me with your abilities."

[Hahaha!] Mei suddenly laughed inside Feltia's mind. [Isn't this a good opportunity for you, Master? Ashreth has already stated her wishes clearly, so you don't need to be afraid of her and other demons anymore, and you can make the best use of the opportunity in front of you.]

After hearing that, Feltia shook her head slightly. "All right, I will help you as much as possible, Lady Ashreth."

"Hehe, that's good." Ashreth then took her to the room at the end of the hall, where many female demons gathered. "Hey guys, Feltia is a newcomer to this sub-realm, and she will stay here with you all from today onward, so I hope you guys will treat her well, or I will punish you if any of you dare to treat her badly."

Those female demons nodded to Ashreth, but they also felt jealous of Feltia, especially since she preferred her so much.

Ashreth then pointed to one of them, who was a dark elf like her. "Fyr, I have to go meet our rulers, so Feltia will join your group, and you can explain to her about the demon hunter rules and stuff."

"Yes, Sister Ashreth."

Ashreth then turned to Feltia. "For the time being, you can learn many things from Fyr, and I will see you again after I return from the tower."
