Monarch of Darkness, Arsene

Staring at the smartphone as Olivia called it, I lowered my gaze as Arsene went quiet. Lifting my lips upwards, I held my legs up on my bed, twirling around as he spoke.

Bae: Looks like my little wife has been busy. We will definitely meet up within Hallr. Let's have a dinner date.

Me: (～￣▽￣)～

Snickering, I looked up out the windows of my room. Staring at the stary heavens, Celestrial qi began slowly running through my body. Hearing a small explosion within my dantian, my lips curled upwards.

"what are you happy about?" Lili voiced in disdain, "You are still weak as hell, and Tain wang will definitely be sending a horde of people to kill Arsene. Not just that Soulbender."

Curling my lips into a sneer, I shrugged, "He will be fine; it's not like he will be alone. I, too, will be having an army after my head, and without Olivia, my danger is even greater." I responded in a wary undertone, "But everything here is complete. I have given the message to all the younger generation that holds enough talent to surpass their parents or ancestors."

"But it's not enough. We need money. All being within the upward realms use Divine Crystals as currency, and you only have a few million. Raising an army on that is impossible..."

"but that's why I have the Demons and Devils. They will be the key to our rise. That will be their job. Everyone wants to be rich, and Devils can form contracts with them to give them whatever they desire. Many cultivators give up on material things, but they cannot give up on money. It's their only source of having a decent supply of resources."

Rising out of my bed, I could feel Tain Wang still fuming. He wasn't like this before. I don't know what happen while I was gone, but he is different. Easily quick to anger, even that vicious beating I received was unlike him.

He was father's pawn that none knew about, but I could not control him like I do Olivia. Stepping out of my room, I stepped into his throne room as he laid upon his throne like a king, looking down at the universe with disdain. There was a profound loneliness that was never there pressing down upon him.

"What?" he coldly spat.

Studying his face, I sighed, "How is Mother? Where is she?"

"Hmph, now you ask? She is... she is with child. I sent her into hiding." He warmly replied as a smile filled his expression, "She will return within a few months with a baby boy. The next line to my throne."

Closing his eyes, Tain wang suddenly sighed, "Ying Yue... I'm sorry. I have no excuse for what I did."

Slowly my eyes began to chill as I observed Tain Wang speak, "I know I failed you... and I'm sorry. I betrayed your trust, but The Court of Nox is..."

"Than join Lilith. The War of Demons and Devils is returning, Tain Wang, and we both know what happened during the last war. The Kings themselves barely participated, but so much blood was spilled the very heavens began to cry. Grandfather sided with them before, and I expect you to do the same. They gave you weapons, artifacts that had everyone fearful of our Palace. So you had best remember how we are all still alive."

Stepping out of Tain Wang's throne room, I could see grandfather waiting, "...Yura, you need to be careful. The Court of Nox is heading to Midgard, and they are sending a legion to kill Arsene and you. I suggest you prepare now... they know he is a soul bender as well."

Licking my lips, the air around me grew stagnant as my body began to fade, "And we will be ready. Do not underestimate him, Grandfather."

"haha, I would not dream of it. All children of Tenebrae have been monsters. be safe, girl, and call upon me whenever you need my help."

With a loving smile, I teleported back to the ring of Heaven and then to Midgard. Falling to my knees in exhaustion, I bitterly laughed as I appeared within Vis's office.

With sweat oozing from my pores, I sighed, "it's always easy to enter the Heavenly Palace but leaving is a real bitch upon my qi."

Resting my eyes for a second, I arose, stretching my body before teleporting into my mansion.

"My lady, welcome back. Shall we prepare you a bath?" A soft, gentle voice of a young woman beckoned as I gazed at the overly large bosom of my maid, Anna.

Nodding with indifference Anna quickly left as I slowly made my way into my room. Dropping my clothing upon the floor, I stood naked before my mirror as the illusion covering my body vanished. Feeling free, the connection on Arsene's end began to throb as I could feel him shiver.

I could see him upon a large wyvern flying towards me at a breathtaking rate. I could feel the almost predatory light as he whispered.

"Lilith,"

Quivering in pleasure, I bit my lips before feeling Anna approach, her gaze low, not daring to look upon my body. "it's ready, my lady."

"Make a reservation for two within the best restaurant in the city. Place it under the name Yura Snow." I whispered as Anna blushed a little at my voice.

"By your...command, my lady."

Walking past anna, I entered my enormous bath as I gazed at the hot spring within my room. It cost a little more money, but it was well worth it.

Dipping my foot in, I moaned in bliss as my body gently slipped in. Closing my eyes, I slowly began drifting in and out.

With Celestrial qi still flowing through my body, I entered a trance studying my abyssal qi. I had learn long ago that studying various laws individually was unnecessary as abyssal qi held all of creation within it.

Sensing a dark mist rising from my body, I slowly fell deeper into the abyss. No longer had I feared what was mine. No longer would I deny my power. After that meeting with that mysterious being, I somehow felt even closer to the abyss.

Like a sponge, my abyssal qi began to flow into my Dantain, while my body began releasing dark impurities I developed from sealing my abyssal qi. Years of being sealed had made my body broken and unbecoming as the Daughter of the abyss.

Opening my eyes, I pushed my silver hair from my brow as a smile grew upon my face. It had been a few days, and he was finally here.

Rising up out of the bath, Anna was already ready as she wrapped my naked body in robes. With a hint of anticipation, I shivered, running to my room, donned the clothing Arsene bought for me once upon a time.

"Sene, Lilith is ready."
