After the Villainess Proposed to Me

“Dragon Goddess? Are you okay?”

Seeing Luo Li spacing out, Litia waved her hand in front of her face.

“I’m fine, just thinking about some things.”

Luo Li took a deep breath, burying her hatred and love deep in her heart, and once again revealed a gentle smile as if nothing had happened.

Litia, the eternal goddess among witches.

She certainly had the power and influence to protect the greatest traitor of the human race.

If Wu Chen had sought refuge with Litia, with her strength, there would be no need to hide his true identity.

Besides, Litia was known for keeping her word. Since she had accepted the commission to capture Morning Star, even if Wu Chen came to her for protection, she would have told me first.

Could it be that even Litia doesn’t know Wu Chen is Morning Star?

After disappearing for so long, how did he reappear as Litia’s fiancé?

And he’s on such good terms with the Full Moon Witch.

What in the world is Wu Chen up to?

A sudden sense of absurdity welled up in Luo Li’s heart.

She had originally planned to tell Litia that Wu Chen was Morning Star, but thinking of his status as her fiancé, she decided against it.

She was far weaker than Litia and had no way to snatch a man from her.

No, she had to find a way to catch Wu Chen alone, and then take action herself!

As long as Litia and Xia Yueyun didn’t find out, she could successfully kidnap Wu Chen and secretly take him home for her personal… ahem, I mean, to imprison and torment him!

“Luo Li seems a bit strange,” Litia murmured, watching the little girl walk away, rubbing her chin with a strange expression.

“But it doesn’t matter. I’m just a tool in this matter anyway. I’ll just wait for her to find Morning Star and give her a helping hand.”

She was curious about the legendary lord who had led the human race to turn the tide against the demons.

But it was mere curiosity. She had more important things to attend to now.

Litia picked up the book she’d set aside earlier, How to Tell if a Man Really Loves You, and resumed studying it with great focus.

“To inherit the Mother Goddess’s power, I must get married. Marriage is a major life event and cannot be taken lightly.”

Beside her desk was a towering stack of thick books, including How to Recognize a Scumbag, How to Prevent Your Husband from Cheating, The Ultimate Boyfriend Training Guide, 100 Punishments for Infidelity, Postpartum Care for Sows, and so on…

Litia had been quite relaxed before, but since Xia Yueyun learned of this secret, she could no longer remain calm.

Now, relying on the fact that few people knew and that her power was strong, she could barely maintain her claim over Wu Chen.

But if Wu Chen’s identity as the Mother Goddess’s envoy were revealed, the other witches would swarm like bees.

As long as someone became Wu Chen’s wife, they could inherit the Mother Goddess’s power. In that case, those witches wouldn’t be scared off by her strength.

Those foxes would definitely do everything they could to seduce Wu Chen!

“That guy said he only loves me, yet these past few days he’s been hanging out with Xia Yueyun all the time. Men are such pigs!”

Litia pouted and slumped onto the table, grumbling angrily.

Am I really that bad?

Just you wait—thirty years east, thirty years west! Don’t underestimate a poor young girl!

Once I’ve mastered these secret techniques to enhance my charm, I’ll strike back and make sure Wu Chen is completely captivated by me!

“Litia, Your Highness, I—I’ve brought you more related books.”

Just as Litia was swearing vengeance, the cowgirl maid with absurdly jiggling breasts wobbled in, holding a massive stack of books.

In her hands were titles like The Path of Marriage, Men Are All Pigs, How to Tame Your Man, and others.

“Good job! As expected of my thoughtful little maid, I’ll make sure you get a promotion and a raise!”

Litia grinned with satisfaction.

“Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness.”

The maid bowed deeply, her black-and-white maid uniform revealing a deep, voluptuous cleavage and firm peaks.

Litia, fully absorbed in her reading, didn’t notice the subtle smirk on the maid’s lips as she bent down.

Lady Litia, I’ve personally selected these books just for you. Please enjoy them thoroughly.

The maid’s gaze lingered on the authors’ names beneath each book’s title.

Author: Love Guru, Women’s Friend, Morning Star.

Thanks to using the Full Moon Witch and the Matriarch Witch, I’ve finally managed to infiltrate here. The success of my plan is drawing near, Morning Star!

…

“Haha, Wu Chen, you’re still too naive and inexperienced.”

“In front of me, the master of the katana, your hunting skills are no match.”

In the dorm room, Xia Yueyun flashed a victorious smile as she looked at the results on the screen.

After some hesitation, Xia Yueyun had finally chosen Monster Hunter as one of the games for their showdown.

The rules were simple: each person would complete three identical hunts, with any weapon and armor of their choice. The one with the fastest total time would win.

“Picking an action game was bound to be an advantage. After all, a witch’s reflexes are far superior to a human’s.”

“But don’t get too cocky—I haven’t even started trying yet.”

Wu Chen yawned, looking completely relaxed.

He chose the Insect Glaive simply because he’d spent a long time grinding in Isekai Love Melody and wanted to relive some old fun.

With the development of virtual reality games, it had been ages since he’d touched any console games. Forget the PS4—his PS5 had been gathering dust for a while now.

Going back to these memories really made him feel nostalgic.

“Hmph, you can only act calm for now. Humans have their limits, Wu Wu!” Xia Yueyun danced happily in place.

“It seems I have no choice but to use this sinful weapon. Here it comes—Heaven’s Fury!”

“Heavy Bowgun Spread Shot! Charge!!!”

“What!? Just over two minutes? That’s not possible!”

Xia Yueyun was left dumbfounded.

“Tch, I’m not even a hardcore Monster Hunter player. The real pros out there can slay monsters in just a few dozen seconds.”

“Y-you must be lying! No human could possibly have skills like that!”

“Don’t underestimate human limits, my wife.”

As long as we don’t stop, the road will keep extending!

“I won this round. Next up are Dark Souls and Sekiro. If I win just one more, you lose the bet.”

Wu Chen twirled the game controller in his hand, speaking with a laid-back attitude.

“Hmph! Don’t get cocky too soon! I’ve trained for hundreds of years in Sekiro! I can clear every boss without taking a single hit. You’re definitely no match for me!”

Over an hour later, Xia Yueyun stared blankly at the final scene on the game screen, completely dumbfounded.

“Y-you cheated! You skipped so many bosses! How could you just spam double jumps to cheese through the game!?”

“Skipping bosses is part of speedrunning. If you don’t like it, don’t play.”

Wu Chen chuckled.

He’d originally wanted to dive into Dark Souls and create a character in the image of an old god, but it seemed like there’d be no need for a third round—what a pity.

“The world record on Earth is just over 20 minutes. My hour-long run is nothing special.”

Wu Chen waved his hand modestly.

Are Earthlings all monsters!?

“My wife, you lost both days of the bet. According to the rules, it’s time for you to fulfill your promise, right?”
