Damn, I Have to Marry the Strongest Antagonist at the Start?

Chapter 272: Chapter269-Changes in the Small World



A dense aura of life permeated the void, resembling layers of interwoven white veils, concealing the figures of Owen and the Archdemon.

Within this white aura of life, Owen gazed at the passionate and assertive Archdemon in front of him with some bewilderment.

Although the Archdemon had also been quite forward during their wedding night, that

assertiveness had been filled with the overbearing nature of a ruler, carrying a sense of being forced upon.

But now, the emotions Archdemon showed towards him felt more like a form of release, as if she was expressing suppressed feelings in their truest, most primal form.

Under such ardor, even Owen was left at a loss.

The Archdemon herself was a person of extraordinary beauty, and being this forward was akin to a blazing serpent entwining itself around him, almost igniting Owen on the spot.

In an instant, Owen seemed to find himself within an illusionary realm.

All around him was the vibrant red of a festive bridal chamber—a scene that seemed quite familiar.

Wasn't this the setting from their wedding?

However, the Archdemon was no longer quietly seated on the marriage bed, but was glaring coldly at Owen with an extremely chilling gaze.

The air was filled with a cacophony of endless chaotic sounds.

Owen looked at the current Archdemon strangely.

Was this her inner demon?

Was she regretting that the wedding night wasn't perfect?

Now that he thought about it, the night had indeed been disrupted by Madelyn and various other incidents, preventing them from reaching the final step.

Thus, amidst the intertwining white aura, Owen and the Archdemon became entangled like two serpents, their clothes flying off in the process.

Their emotions reached a peak at that very moment.

In the clear-flowing river of life, rippling sounds began to emerge, sometimes high-pitched, sometimes low, melodious yet lamenting.

At this moment, in a state of total abandon, the Archdemon almost drained Owen dry within a matter of hours, leaving his face slightly pale.

"Truly a one-of-a-kind gem... and a legendary White Tiger at that..." Owen gasped heavily, his legs trembling, almost needing to support himself against a wall.

Though his waist ached for a while, a rich life essence soon surged from all directions, quickly restoring Owen to his peak condition.

At the same time, he was astonished to find that perhaps due to their earlier fusion, while the Archdemon was compensating for her inner demon and absorbing the essence of the Fate Crystal, she had also infused a portion of its essence into his body.

And this part, containing the purest, most primordial essence of destiny, had merged into Owen's small world, causing a drastic transformation.

Owen glanced at the Archdemon beside him.

She had already overcome her inner demon, her aura steadily rising.

Not only had her hair regained its jet-black luster, but her skin had also become tighter and more supple, as pure and translucent as pristine jade, soft to the touch.

From head to toe, her exquisite figure was snow-white and dazzlingly smooth.

Even though Owen had experienced her beauty firsthand, the sight still left his mouth dry. He immediately draped one of his own garments over her, swiftly tidied up his own attire, and shifted his focus into his small world.

Within his small world, a rich life essence fell like raindrops from the sky, bathing every object within it.

The plants were brimming with vitality.

The World Tree was growing rapidly, its roots greedily absorbing the life essence from the void.

Meanwhile, even more life essence pooled onto the ground of the small world, forming a flowing river of life.

At the source of this river of life lay a palm-sized, translucent Fate Crystal, from which the pure white life essence was emanating.

Beneath this Fate Crystal, Rachel, Seraphina, and Madelyn were playing around, immersed in their games.

Owen sensed this and nodded in satisfaction.

Earlier, he had been perplexed about how to ensure that his small world could continuously generate life essence. Now, the issue had been resolved seamlessly.

"Mr. Owen!"

At that moment, Rachel and the others, who had been frolicking in the river of life, noticed Owen's arrival and immediately gathered around him.

"Mr. Owen, what just happened? Why did the small world lose its connection to the outside, and why is there a small piece of Fate Crystal here now?" Rachel asked, her face full of confusion as she looked at Owen.

Owen coughed twice, then patted the head of the eager Seraphina.

"I was just transferring the Fate Crystal earlier. It's all fine now. From now on, as long as we don't suffer fatal injuries, we'll recover swiftly in this life essence."

Rachel and Madelyn nodded seriously, their faces lighting up with joy.

As mages, fighting injuries were a common occurrence, and recovery was no simple matter, often requiring the use of expensive high-quality potions. If not properly healed, injuries could even hinder future breakthroughs.

But now, with the Water of Life, such concerns would no longer exist.

After all, they had just experienced it. Old injuries that had accumulated over the years and were difficult to heal had already been cured with the help of the Water of Life.

Even their levels seemed to be loosening up, showing signs of further advancement. Seeing that their attention was focused on the Water of Life, Owen heaved a slight sigh of relief, then narrowed his eyes and said, "The Archdemon still needs some time to fully recover. It's time for us to return."

At the mention of returning, Madelyn immediately perked up with excitement.

"When are we leaving? My sister must be getting impatient by now!"

Owen nodded, a faint image of Leslie surfacing in his mind.

...

In front of the River of Life within the Demon Abyss.

Elysia awoke from a bout of dizziness, rubbing her temples. She then saw her sister enveloped

in the life aura, her energy stable and no longer agitated as before.

Recalling the dangers of the Inner Demon Trial just moments ago, she couldn't help but feel a

surge of fear.

"Did Owen save my sister?"

Thinking back to the final moment when Owen appeared beside her sister, she murmured to

herself.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

She quickly glanced around but found no sign of Owen.

Had he left?

Frowning slightly, Elysia moved forward, only to see the Archdemon's body covered in

Owen's robe.

...?

What had happened between them?

However, considering they were married, it was normal if something had happened, right?

...

At the same time, Owen was soaring towards the abyss's surface.
