"Hehe, I was just joking."

Freya smiled mischievously and explained:

"What I mean is, I want to be loyal to Lord Chen Hao, just like some people's pet dogs, loyal and obedient, and good at pleasing their owners, but I have no intention of giving up my self-respect and bottom line."

If Chen Hao treats her too badly, she will be sad and leave on her own. After all, she is a normal person, not a masochist. As a hero of the [Art], she can live on her own. There is no need to demean herself.

"Don't say things that could be so misunderstood..."

Kreh covered her face helplessly. Freya was still wearing Freya's face. For Freya, the first princess of the kingdom, to say such shameless and low-class words... it really felt very incongruous to her.

"So, does this mean Freya also wants to be Lord Chen Hao's subordinate?"

Eve's eyes lit up immediately. After all, all the women around Chen Hao had a relationship with him, and she, as a subordinate without a relationship, felt somewhat out of place among them. If Freya also became a subordinate, she wouldn't have to be alone as a subordinate in Chen Hao's harem, in such an awkward situation.

She has now figured out what this scumbag Chen Hao is planning. He wants to build a harem, and if she wants to stay out of this mess, she'd better remain a subordinate.

"..."

Tsukuyomi and Setsuna remained silent, as their plans were similar. However, at this moment, they genuinely felt that Chen Hao's ability to rewrite personalities was truly terrifying, having turned Freya into such a person.

"Hmm, subordinate? Pretty much, but closer, because I've already given my heart and soul to Lord Chen Hao~"

Freya said, nuzzling Chen Hao's arm affectionately.

"..."

Chen Hao's lips twitched slightly, a helpless expression on his face, because Kresh had already cast a hostile glance at him, her eyes clearly conveying the message: Is this the personality you modified? I'll settle the score with you later!

"..."

Eve's lips twitched slightly. In the end, she still had to bear this awkward situation alone. In the future, when this group of women and Chen Hao showed affection, she would be watching alone from the side.

Such a hellish scene seemed to unfold right before her eyes, making Eve feel a chill run down her spine.

Couples showing affection in front of single people, feeding them dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection), is an extremely terrifying thing for single people.

What's even more terrifying is that one of them is someone you secretly admire.

As the saying goes, if you can't beat someone, join them. Maybe she should just give up and go for it with Chen Hao? After all, if the other person is Chen Hao, it wouldn't be a bad deal...

No! Eve! Wouldn't that be a complete waste? How could you be so depraved! You are a woman burdened with a blood feud! Love and romance are not things for you to possess! You are a vengeful spirit who has sworn to avenge the current Demon King!

Eve blushed and shook her head fiercely, shaking off all her delusions, and secretly vowed:

Even if I, Eve, starve to death! Die from exhaustion during training! Die in battle at the hands of the Demon King! I will never give it to you, Chen Hao, for nothing!

"Eve, what's wrong?"

When Eve came to her senses, she found that Chen Hao, Kreeher, Freya, Tsukuyomi, and Setsuna were all looking at her with concern.

"...I...I'm fine..."

Eve blushed, feeling incredibly embarrassed.

"But your face is so red~ Are you thinking about something lewd?"

Tsukuyo teased him with a sly grin.

"I didn't!"

Eve panicked. How could such a pure girl like her possibly be thinking about anything lewd?!

"Alright, alright, everyone, calm down. Tsukuyo, stop teasing Eve."

Chen Hao quickly stepped in to stop the conversation, warning that things could get out of hand if they weren't addressed. He changed the subject, saying:

"Now let's get back to the main topic, Eve. How's your training with Kreeher going these days?"

He's been away for a month now, and Eve's training should have yielded some results, no matter what.

"Uh... how should I put it? My class [Fallen Angel] is a bit special. It's a hybrid class of physical and magical magic. I can use both dark magic and holy magic, and I can also use a melee skill called Blackwing Combat."

"In the past month, although my progress in using magic has been so-so, I have learned swordsmanship from Kreeher and incorporated it into Blackwing Martial Arts."

"Moreover, through continuous practical training, I have fully understood and digested all the combat experience that Lord Chen Hao previously transmitted. Kreeher said that I can now exchange a few blows with her in close combat alone."

"If I could only use 10% of my full strength before, now I can probably use 50%?"

Eve pondered her situation, and when she finally asked the question, her tone still lacked confidence.

"Is that so... I'll test you again later. As for your magic practice, Freya can guide you."

"Kreeh, have you taught Eve about Nen?"

As Chen Hao spoke, he looked at Kreeher.

"I've already talked to Eve about learning Nen. She wants me to help her learn it, but I didn't agree. After all, it's too dangerous. It's better to have you here as an extra layer of insurance."

"Although I didn't help her recite the incantation, I have already taught her the four basic elements of tongue pointing and hair refining. I have also made her consciously start practicing manipulating the black battle qi that is also wrapped around her body. This should help when she controls the essence qi [entanglement] state after reciting the incantation."
