Becoming the Demon Lord: Taming the Demon Queen Begins

"Right, that's me. What about it?"

No sooner had Timothy spoken than the woman in the black robe lunged forward, wrapping her arms halfway around his neck, her delicate body pressing close without any hesitation.

"It's so great to see you, Timothy! I've admired you for so long and always wanted to meet you in person. I can't believe I'm actually seeing you now!"

Her fragrance was intoxicating, yet not overpowering, like a myriad of blossoms.

Though her black robe concealed everything tightly, her every move radiated a captivating charm.

Timothy was momentarily stunned, his body involuntarily stepping back.

Aside from Goddess Sylvia, hardly any woman could unsettle him like this.

But in that instant, he felt something stir within him!

Was it a charm spell?

It didn't seem like it.

The vulnerability and allure seemed to naturally emanate from the woman before him.

Her unique charm was incomparable, naturally radiating from her.

"No, to emit such allure, and..."

Timothy glanced briefly at the golden strands peeking through her robe and smiled, realizing who the woman embracing him was.

A woman with such intoxicating charm must be rare in this world.

But why was she here in the secret realm of Grim Expanse?

"Yeah, I've been wanting to see you too."

Instead of stepping back, Timothy moved closer and gently embraced her slender waist.

Her waist was as delicate as a flowing stream, and her golden hair fluttered with a touch of divinity.

The woman in the black robe paused, clearly not expecting Timothy to turn the tables.

But soon, she regained her composure, smiling sweetly with a hint of coquettishness: "Aren't you afraid Goddess Sylvia will get mad with you holding me like this, Timothy?"

"And aren't you afraid Goddess Sylvia will drag you into her chambers for a spanking for holding me like this?" Timothy shot back quickly.

"You know who I am?" The woman seemed surprised.

"Of course, who else in the world could match the charm of my wife, the Holy Maiden?"

"No wonder even Sylvia fell for you, your words are as sweet as honey.

Hmm, not bad, the Holy Maiden likes it. I might even consider competing with Sylvia for you."

She slowly lifted her hood a bit, revealing the stunning face of Holy Maiden Aeliana.

Timothy chuckled, "You want to compete with Goddess Sylvia? Aren't you afraid of dragging the Blooming Sanctuary into this?"

"Of course, I'm scared, but...

Hehe, Sylvia isn't here right now, is she?

Even if I want to see how sweet your words can be, she won't know."

"Are you sure?"

"Absolutely."

"I'm not talking about that. I mean, Holy Maiden, you're all talk and no action."

"Who says I'm all talk!"

Holy Maiden Aeliana had never felt defeated by a man before, and her competitive spirit flared.

"Today, the Holy Maiden will show you that my words are true. Hehe, let's see how you managed to attract Sylvia."

With a mischievous smile on her flower-like face, Holy Maiden Aeliana tiptoed up, seemingly without hesitation, inching closer to Timothy's lips.

"Holy shit, are you really going for it?" Timothy was a bit stunned.

Seeing how Holy Maiden Aeliana was usually bullied by Sylvia, he thought she wouldn't dare.

Could she really be this bold?

"Hey, back off from your senior brother, will you?" Just then, Aria stepped forward and yanked Holy Maiden Aeliana away by the shoulder.

"Who do you think you are, some unknown woman trying to seduce Timothy with your looks? There are plenty of respectable women who admire Timothy. Why would it be your turn?"

"Do you even know who I am?"

Pushed back, Holy Maiden Aeliana tugged at her black cloak, keeping her face completely hidden.

"Who are you?"

Aria scoffed, staring mockingly at her. "A woman who doesn't even dare show her face, who could you be? Anyone with a brain could guess you're not a looker, just trying to seduce Timothy with your seductive body, hoping for a shortcut to the top."

Looking at Holy Maiden Aeliana's figure tightly wrapped in the black robe, Aria felt even more irritated. The plain robe somehow accentuated her perfect curves—large where they should be, small where they should be, those proud curves only fueling jealousy.

"Fine, if you're so set on that idea, why don't you try it yourself? But if you can't manage, let me take over again."

Holy Maiden Aeliana wasn't angry,she just smiled lightly, seemingly unconcerned.

This attitude only irritated Aria more.

When had she ever been treated so dismissively?

Whether in looks or talent, she was top-notch.

Now in this secret realm, countless female disciples wanted a chance to get close to Timothy.

But with her around, those disciples wouldn't dare make a move.

And now, this unknown woman, who didn't even dare show her face and only tried to seduce men with her body, dared to look down on her?

She must have no idea about the real world!

As for charm, the only person she admired was Holy Maiden Aeliana. What was this woman in a black robe compared to her?

Aria gave Holy Maiden Aeliana a mocking look, then walked up to Timothy with what she thought were cute, pleasing little steps:

"Hello, Senior Brother Timothy. I'm Aria, a direct disciple of the Themyscira Sect, considered a top talent by our sect leader, even taught the secret techniques only passed to the heirs of our sect. Unlike that lowly woman who only approached you for power, I've admired you for a long time, so..."

"Oh."

However, faced with her self-proclaimed impressive introduction, Timothy seemed utterly indifferent.

He responded coldly and turned away, walking towards Holy Maiden Aeliana.

"What?!"

Aria was completely stunned. With her status and position, who had ever treated her so dismissively?

And...

She clearly saw Timothy walking slowly to the woman in the black robe, the two of them chatting and laughing, the atmosphere surprisingly intimate.

Her own beautiful face had been outshone by a woman who didn't even dare show hers!

"Sister, are you okay?"

Noticing Aria's strange expression, a fellow disciple quickly came over.

"I'm fine. Senior Brother Timothy said he's very interested in me, but with so many people around, he wants to wait until we go deeper into the canyon to talk privately."

Aria forced a smile, trying to salvage what little was left of her dignity.
