Chapter 358: Love and Hate

After the pain, healing is very pleasurable, as is eating after feeling very hungry. The body feels so good…

That is how Ghalenna feels now, like someone who has been hungry for years, and then the most delicious and satisfying food possible has simply entered her mouth.

She feels stronger and stronger as that mysterious and pleasurable energy runs through her body, improving her entire life as she never thought to be possible.

Of course, all women can imagine that Lucien"s kiss is incredible because all his wives and troops are always talking about how they feel in heaven in his arms.

But it will always be different to hear stories about that and feel it personally as well as each woman will feel special in a unique way with Lucien.

As Ghalenna"s body quickly recovers, she feels Lucien"s tongue make a pleasant mess inside her mouth. She forgets everything around, and only they matter now.

Her hands instinctively go to his neck while she wants more and more of that.

But then she feels Lucien slow his movements and starts to move his mouth away from hers. Ghalenna is already able to breathe perfectly, so she understands that she is almost completely healed.

"No..." She whispers when their lips part and immediately gets embarra.s.sed, getting even more flushed than before.

Ghilanna giggles, but Lucien just smiles at Ghalenna with a loving expression. "We"ll finish this later, okay?"

Ghalenna feels so confused. There is so much going on now, and her feelings are in chaos, but she is sure she wants to continue that later. After experiencing such pleasure and power that Lucien can give her, she wants to at least make sure she doesn"t want that, or…

"Mm." She nods while she finds no words to say to Lucien. But grat.i.tude and excitement cannot be hidden on her expression, and neither does she want to hide that.

Lucien gets up and looks at his other wives, especially Scarlett. "Is everyone okay? Are you hurt, my love?"

All the girls quickly respond that they are fine. Then Angela approaches Lucien and wipes the blood off his face. "We are fine, but you were hurt. We felt when you were badly hurt... and that was scary."

Lucien kisses Angela"s forehead tenderly. "I"m fine. I was concerned about you girls... but I believed you would be fine. Just because you were strong, I was able to stay calm and defeat my enemy."

Then the cursed sword starts to fly over Lucien, and he smiles. "Also, I had help from l.u.s.t and the Ghost Lady."

The girls make a confused expression as they look at the sword.

"The Ghost Lady? Is she this sword?" Anne asks.

He nods. "She"s dangerous, so we must be careful until we know if she"ll really behave well."

While the girls gaze at the Ghost Lady, Lucien walks over to Scarlett and begins to caress her face. "I know you were hurt. Let me see it."

Scarlett moves Lucien"s hand to the center of her chest, where there is a small hole in her leather armor, and her fur and skin are slightly burned.

"I"m fine, but I can"t say the same about the fur you love so much..." Scarlett giggles as she sees Lucien"s sad expression.

"It will regenerate in a night of fun." l.u.s.t comments as Lucien stroke Scarlett"s chest.

Lucien knows that Scarlett"s wound is superficial, and he also understands that in life and death battles, leaving with injuries is almost inevitable.

But those angels came out of nowhere and attacked them just like the first group did before. He, l.u.s.t, and Envy are demons, but his wives are not, and he does not accept that the angels continue to attack them for no reason.

He kisses Scarlett quickly and starts walking towards Lord Antonius, while Astrid continues to punch him.

"d.a.m.n angels!! I didn"t start this, but I will finish it!!!!" Lucien speaks furiously while his eyes s.h.i.+ne with gold and purple sparkles, also with little strands of gray energy.

The girls move away from Lord Antonius as the layers of stone and ice that held his body disappear. Also, Envy removes her daggers from his shoulder.

Although very wounded, that angel still has the strength to crawl, but Lucien lifts him by the collar of her torn s.h.i.+rt. "b.a.s.t.a.r.d!!!"

First, Lord Antonius is shocked by Lucien"s appearance. He has demonic horns and dragonic wings. Also, that purple and gold sparkle in his eyes is unlike anything he has seen before.

Second, he is shocked by Lucien"s power. Although Lord Antonius is injured, he is still a Sky Realm person while Lucien is in the Mortal Realm. However, he can"t get rid of Lucien"s grip as he couldn"t avoid his kick before.

"WAIT, WAIT!!!" Lord Antonius cries.

"Wait?!" Lucien asks sarcastically as he lifts the poor angel.

"If you kill me, more of my people will come after me. You don"t want that, right?" Lord Antonius asks as he tries to keep his life.

Lucien starts to laugh. "Do you see my horns and wings? d.a.m.n, you"re a stupid angel, so there"s no way I can have mercy on you or any of your people."

"Are you really a demon?" The angel asks.

"It doesn"t matter because I wouldn"t go after your people for that. But..." Lucien looks quickly at his wives. "Anyone who tries to hurt my loved ones will have the same end..."

"No, no, no..." Lord Antonius starts to beg as he tries to get rid of Lucien"s grip.

But Lucien, using his demonic energies to boost his body, uses his left hand to hold the angel"s neck and press him on the ground while he starts punching his face with the other hand.

*BAM* *BAM* *BAM* *BAM* *BAM* *BAM*

Lucien"s punches are stronger than Astrid"s, and due to him having more demonic energy, the damage to Lord Antonius is much more significant.

He continues to punch while disfiguring the angel"s face in a b.l.o.o.d.y mess. Chin, mouth, nose, eyes, forehead... Lucien smashes the whole face of Lord Antonius.

"d.a.m.n, you angels had to attack my family... This is not just about the past anymore. I"m going after you... each angel in your world will have the same end, and there will be no stone left unturned." Lucien speaks as he beat Lord Antonius.

The angel flaps his wings desperately as he tries to get rid of Lucien, but nothing can be done, and he just suffers more and more.

Lucien punches Lord Antonius"s head so hard that his fist also gets hurt with each blow, but his energies heal him quickly, and he punches more and more.

Five minutes later, Lord Antonius" skull is already cracked in many parts while there is a blood pool around them.

Lucien stops punching and knows that Lord Antonius is not yet dead. The angel, unable to see or hear anything, uses his last breath of life to turn and try to flap his badly injured wings.

He looks like an insect that has already died, but the body still moves due to instincts.

*ROAR*

Oya and Ko roar simultaneously as they jump on Lord Antonius" back and rip his wings off. His body, unable to resist anymore, stops working, and he chokes on his own blood.

The Ghost Lady flies into Lucien"s hand, and he uses her to cuts off that angel"s head.

Then Lucien takes a deep breath as he calms down again. He looks at the other three dead angels and Melitta"s head on the ground.

"You were amazing!" He smiles at his wives.

"We are stronger together." Ca.s.sidy smiles.

"I felt your energy giving me power while I fought... that was incredible." Elsie comments.

"Also, Envy led us while you faced that other angel. Without her and Amelia, we wouldn"t have made it." Angela explains.

Lucien smiles at Amelia and Envy while extending his hands to them. Envy quickly materializes next to him and hugs his waist while Amelia quickly reaches the other side and hugs him too.

"Thank you so much for that." He thanks Amelia and Envy.

"No!" Amelia complains as she kisses his cheek. "You can"t thank me for fighting alongside my family."

Lucien smiles as he is very happy that Amelia considers his wives her family. Despite wanting that so badly, he could never force her to accept the girls in her heart as he did.

Envy, on the other hand, smiles with a lewd expression while stroking his chest and belly. "I was a good girl, didn"t I?"

He nods. "Yes, you did... and good girls get rewards..."

"I always want to behave well so that you reward me by punis.h.i.+ng me in bed..." Envy excitedly smiles as he moves her hand towards his c.o.c.k.

But Lucien quickly holds her hand and kisses her on the lips. "I will, but not now. The fight is not over yet; there are eight others of them, who have gone south."

"They are after the crystal mine and the captive angel." l.u.s.t explains.

"This mine... why did they send angels with this type of teleportation? These are instant teleport gems, aren"t they?" Rose asks.

l.u.s.t nods. "Exactly. In fact, they don"t want the crystals, but the cursed sword."

"The Ghost lady?" Elsie asks, and Anne thinks the same thing.

Lucien looks at his fox girls with a loving expression. He will not hide anything from them about Adeline and their royal heritage.

"There is a lot that I need to explain to you about it, but now we need to deal with those angels. They already make it clear that they are hostile to us, so there is no chance of peace between us." Lucien explains.

"Those b.a.s.t.a.r.ds attacked us; they tried to hurt our family. We must hunt them all down and give them the h.e.l.l before death." Amelia speaks as she hugs Lucien tightly.

All Lucien wives nod, including Ghalenna and Kara. But he realizes that Dawn has a worried and sad expression on her face. She has his tattoo and is part of his family, but he still hasn"t started treating her as his wife, and it makes her feel away from the group.

"I need to do something about Dawn." Lucien talks to Amelia mentally.

Amelia quickly responds. "Do it. I will always be jealous of the other girls, but we are one family... I am sorry to have taken so much to understand that."

"I love you so f.u.c.king much!" Lucien kisses Amelia"s lips before flying in front of Dawn, who is behind the other girls.

She steps back, but he quickly approaches her and begins to gently caress her face and wipe some tears that run down from her eyes.

"What"s wrong? Don"t be afraid; we can beat them." Lucien speaks in a loving tone.

Lucien"s caring att.i.tude makes Dawn feel even worse. She starts to cry more. "I... I didn"t do anything... when Envy told us to attack together, I froze. I was scared, and I couldn"t fight... Angela told me to stay behind her and Jeanne that they would protect me..."

"This is not your fault but mine. I should have helped you to get stronger before, but I wanted to give you time to get over what happened and get your thoughts in order." Lucien speaks as he continues to stroke Dawn"s face.

Dawn pushes Lucien back. "No!! Stop!! You are always so kind and loving to me, but I don"t deserve it. You let me stay at your house and take care of me, but I never do anything to help you. I"m an idiot woman who has nothing good, and you take care of me for pity... I can"t go on like this!!"

Lucien takes a quick step forward, holds Dawn by the waist, and kisses her lips pa.s.sionately.

Without stopping kissing, he talks to her mentally. "Dawn, you have my tattoo. We have a soul contract. We are deeply connected, and there is nothing that can change it."

Before she can do anything, he continues. "Before we even met, I read about you in books. I heard legends about you, and even though I knew you were defending s.h.i.+tty racists, I believed I would like you for the kind and honorable woman you are."

Dawn feels something good rising inside her as Lucien"s energy runs through her body. She begins to follow the movements of his mouth and allows his tongue to enter and intertwine with hers.

Lucien keeps talking to her mentally. "We all have flaws... you were a very naive person, and you were brainwashed, but we opened your eyes. You now have the potential to become a woman even more incredible and stronger than before."

He begins to caress her waist while devouring her tasty mouth. "And of course, I am a very greedy and selfish man who could not help wanting to have such an incredible woman only for me..."
