Chapter 143 ended in vain.

In the darkness and tranquility, Eve's consciousness re-converged, and her perception of her body gradually became clearer.

My body... feels so weak... I can't muster any strength at all...

Eve slowly opened her sleepy eyes. As her blurry vision gradually cleared, the first thing she saw was Chen Hao's sleeping face. The handsome black-haired boy lay on his side on the bed with a lazy expression and a slight upturn at the corner of his mouth, as if he was having a sweet dream.

“…”

As Eve's memories of last night flashed through her mind, she realized what she had done, and a blush gradually spread across her delicate and beautiful face.

She actually... confessed her feelings to him... and then did this...

Eve didn't know how she mustered the courage back then, but the current situation was exactly what she had expected.

She had always harbored feelings for Chen Hao. From his heroic rescue of her when they first met to the guidance and training he provided in their daily lives, he always gave her a sense of security that she could rely on. As long as she was by his side, she could feel at ease.

For Eve, who had been hunted by the demon king's minions and had spent a period of exile, a sense of security was a powerful elixir of love.

There were many reasons why she hadn't been able to express her feelings before. One of them was that she was burdened with the blood feud of her people. The thousands of souls residing on her wings were constantly wailing and begging her to avenge them. They had all died for her, and she had no excuse to shirk this responsibility. She didn't deserve happiness until their souls were freed.

One of the many women around Chen Hao was Eve, who had a more traditional view of love and preferred a lifelong monogamous relationship. She simply couldn't bring herself to join Chen Hao, this scoundrel who built a harem.

But now the situation has changed. All her dead people have been resurrected by Chen Hao. She witnessed Chen Hao's two weeks of tireless resurrection process. Her people have been reborn and have been protected with Chen Hao's help, able to live a safe and peaceful life in Braniko. This behavior is a direct challenge to the current Demon King of the Blackwing Clan. She has learned from Noren that the current Demon King is preparing to gather his Demon King army to attack Braniko.

Although he knew all of this was within his capacity to bear, his purpose in resurrecting the Blackwing Clan was not pure. It was to further develop his healing magic and to lure the Demon King, kill him, and obtain the Philosopher's Stone.

However, Eve still felt a sense of indebtedness, a feeling that had been growing since she accepted his charity in the form of a transaction, and now it was becoming increasingly apparent.

She wanted to do something to make it up to him.

Eve knew that Chen Hao had done so much for her, but all he wanted was her body and her body. Since that was the case, she would satisfy him. After all, she had feelings for him, didn't she?

Moreover, the time spent with Kreeher and Freya during this period was quite pleasant. Even if they live together and share the same man in the future, it's not unacceptable, right?

Her views on love hadn't fully settled before they were shattered by living in the atmosphere of the imperial harem. Gradually, she became less concerned about such things.

All she needs is a place for herself in Chen Hao's heart.

So she confessed her feelings, having mustered the courage just last night.

Then, she gave him her first kiss, and then, for some reason, she completely lost her ability to resist under this scoundrel's increasingly restless hands, and finally ended up in bed...

"Bad guy..."

Eve glanced resentfully at the person who was sleeping soundly, and as she recalled his words from the previous night, she couldn't help but roll her eyes at her own naivety.

"I just want a hug."

"I'll just touch it."

“…”

How could I have believed his nonsense?! Eve covered her blushing face, completely oblivious to the fact that the sheet draped over her had fallen down, revealing a patch of skin.

At this moment, Chen Hao, who was sleeping, was also awakened by Eve's movements. He turned his head and looked at Eve, whose body was exposed, and greeted her lazily:

"Ha~ Good morning, last night was a wonderful night."

"Good morning...Good morning, Lord Chen Hao..."

Eve shuddered and turned to greet Chen Hao, who had regained consciousness, with a slightly embarrassed expression. She hadn't fully adapted to this change in identity yet.

"No need to be so formal, just call me by my name."

Chen Hao sat up in bed and stretched. He had originally planned to get some rest and catch up on the sleep he had missed, but he didn't expect Eve to confess her feelings last night, so he got excited and played with Eve for a few more hours.

"……Um…"

Eve nodded, her face slightly flushed.

"Was your first experience last night pretty good?"

Chen Hao asked Eve softly, a mischievous smile on his face.

"...Hmm...Chen Hao...is very gentle...and...very experienced..."

Eve's face grew increasingly red. Why did she have to ask such an embarrassing question?!

"So, shall we do it again now?"

Looking at Eve's exposed upper body and recalling the soft touch of her skin, Chen Hao felt himself getting aroused again.

"No! I don't want to! Thinking about doing this kind of thing first thing in the morning, you pervert! You're a sex maniac!"

Eve was furious; she really felt like she couldn't handle it anymore!

This guy's desires are way too strong!

"You're the one seducing me, okay? You're so beautiful, and you don't even dress properly. As a virile young man, it's really difficult for me to resist..."

Chen Hao shrugged helplessly, appearing completely innocent, but Eve clearly saw a glint of cunning and mischievousness in his eyes.

He just wanted to tease her.

"Then...I..."

Eve blushed.
