"Or rather, like Lamia, the master's hidden identity makes me feel deceived."
Clearly, she looked so elegant, but Wang Xiaoming always felt that Leticia's tone revealed a hint of resentment.
"Amazing, the Holy Group of the Indian Sun God, would actually disguise themselves as a Celtic knight, and fabricate a whole new world to deceive a small vampire like me. I'm truly flattered."
Ah, the resentment in those words is almost materializing!
Lamia also took the opportunity to add fuel to the fire from the side.
"That's right, that's right! Lord Rama, how could you deceive my Aunt Leticia like this? As far as I know, my Aunt Leticia is a pure vampire princess, and has never had such a close relationship with a man like she has with Lord Rama. Lord Rama, you are Aunt's first time! You're hurting Aunt's fragile heart."
"Lamia!"
Leticia was instantly caught off guard. Wasn't she looking for trouble with the master? Why did she drag me into it? Is my own niece this wild?
But her resentment towards Wang Xiaoming grew even stronger. After all, she couldn't say anything about her niece, right? So she could only let the master suffer.
"Oh, I'm really sorry. I didn't mean to, but mainly, the Little Garden is such a chaotic place with all sorts of people, so I have to be careful to avoid being tricked. That's why I hid my identity."
Wang Xiaoming wouldn't fail to understand the atmosphere and immediately started to appease Leticia.
"My lovely Miss Leticia, please forgive my concealment. To show my sincerity, Miss Leticia, you can unconditionally order me to do one thing!"
As a master, asking for forgiveness from his own little maid isn't shameful, especially since this maid is his wife.
"Unconditionally order the master to do one thing?"
"That's right, anything is fine! As long as it's something you want me to do, I'll do it!"
Wang Xiaoming immediately nodded in affirmation.
The resentment in Leticia's eyes disappeared, and her blood-red eyes revealed a hint of surprise.
"What about me, what about me? Can Lamia also order Lord Rama to do one thing?"
Lamia also raised her hand from the side, demanding that she also receive compensation.
"You? No!"
"Eh?"
Lamia was stunned on the spot, then immediately began to complain.
"Why? Lamia was also deceived. Why does Aunt Leticia get one, but Lamia doesn't!"
"Leticia is my most beloved maid, I have to coax her. What are you to me?"
Wang Xiaoming's matter-of-fact appearance left Lamia speechless. She unhappily grabbed Leticia's hand next to her.
"Let's go, Aunt Leticia, let's go, ignore him!"
Saying that, she dragged Leticia towards the palace, constantly chattering in Leticia's ear, constantly saying bad things about Wang Xiaoming, such as how stingy and miserly this master was.
Leticia was helplessly dragged along by her, listening to Lamia's complaints while a bitter smile appeared on her face.
However, when she thought of what Wang Xiaoming had just said, that she was his most beloved maid, and only she could order him, the smile on Leticia's face slowly became sweet.
Turning her head to look behind her, Wang Xiaoming had already deactivated Rama's form and transformed back into the Celtic-style knight he was before. Rama's spirit had also disappeared, leaving only the spirit of a hero. He had both hands in his pockets following behind them from a distance.
Seeing Leticia turn her head to look back at him, Wang Xiaoming gave her a bright smile and nodded to her.
Seeing the smile on Wang Xiaoming's face, the smile on Leticia's face also became brighter.
365. Leticia's New Sun.
Because of Wang Xiaoming's identity as Rama, Lamia's position in Ouroboros also rose accordingly. She is now the niece of the maid of the third union leader of Ouroboros, * * Rama!
What are the executives of the second union? That kind of thing doesn't matter!
Is being the niece of the most beloved maid of the third union leader of Ouroboros, * * Rama, more impressive?
Lamia could even imagine herself walking sideways in Ouroboros in the future!
Moreover, because Wang Xiaoming joined Ouroboros, Lamia's request to see her mother was immediately approved.
To be precise, the application had already been approved after Wang Xiaoming showed his identity as Rama. The gentlemanly man named James didn't dare to refuse in the slightest.
Thus, Lamia was able to successfully meet her mother, who had fallen into a monster and was sealed.
Naturally, as a relative, Leticia was also able to meet her sister Lamia, and Wang Xiaoming, as Leticia's master, was naturally able to go with them.
In short, Lamia brought Leticia and Wang Xiaoming to see her mother.
In the underground of the dark palace, a special gift seal began to open layer by layer, under the circumstances that Lamia had obtained James' permission. They finally arrived at the stone chamber at the very bottom after passing through multiple layers of seals.
What was imprisoned in this stone chamber was Leticia's sister, Lamia's mother, Lamia, who had accepted the curse and become a monster.
Lamia came to the entrance of the stone chamber and peeked inside.
Rua!
Inside the window of the stone chamber, a terrifying roar suddenly erupted, and a black shadow stretched out from inside, stabbing directly towards Lamia's glabella.
But Lamia skillfully leaned back, causing the black shadow to miss.
"That's my sister's Dragon Remnant."
Leticia recognized the black shadow.
"That's right, this is my mother's Dragon Remnant."
Lamia maintained her leaning-back posture and retreated to Leticia's side.
"Although she became a monster and lost her mind, mother still possesses the instinct to fight, especially the Dragon Remnant. In the absence of mother's sanity, it has become a self-defense and attack mechanism that acts according to mother's instinct."
Leticia looked worriedly at the Dragon Remnant, which was slowly returning after its attack missed, wanting to go in first herself.
"Let me do it."
Wang Xiaoming held Leticia's shoulder, telling Leticia to calm down.
"This is something I promised you before."
Leticia looked at Wang Xiaoming and nodded seriously.
"Master, thank you."
Wang Xiaoming smiled and pinched Leticia's smooth little face, not missing any opportunity to take advantage.
"Are we on such terms that you need to thank me? Come on, give me a smile."
Leticia was slightly stunned, then smiled and nodded.
"Then, please be careful, Master."
Nodding to Leticia, Wang Xiaoming retracted his left hand and slowly walked towards the entrance of the stone chamber.
The fact that only the Dragon's Remnant Shadow emerged without any human movement indicated that the person inside was likely locked up and unable to move, hence the choice of using the Dragon's Remnant Shadow for remote attacks.
In that case...
Wang Xiaoming arrived at the door of the stone chamber but didn't rush in. Instead, he waited for a while, his presence rapidly diminishing as he waited, until finally, Wang Xiaoming disappeared in front of Leticia and Lamia.
"Huh?"
Lamia and Leticia were both stunned. Wang Xiaoming disappeared right before their eyes. What kind of grace was this? A grace to conceal oneself? They couldn't feel anything at all!
Then, they saw the door of the stone chamber open and close again, meaning Wang Xiaoming had gone inside?
Wang Xiaoming had indeed gone inside. Having reduced his presence, Wang Xiaoming pulled open the door of the stone chamber and entered the interior. Inside, Wang Xiaoming saw a girl whose limbs were bound by four thick chains, even her neck was locked with a huge iron ring.
No, the person before him no longer resembled a girl. She had scarlet eyes, jet-black skin, dry, yellow, and disheveled hair, and a wide-open mouth full of sharp teeth. She looked more like a Japanese Oni than a fair-skinned, beautiful vampire.
Behind her, multiple Dragon's Remnant Shadows writhed like seaweed in the ocean, swaying slowly. But any slight movement from outside would cause these Dragon's Remnant Shadows to launch out and tear the enemy to shreds.
So, this is what she looks like after enduring the curse.
Wang Xiaoming raised his right hand and summoned Est.
Est, please help remove all the curses on her.
Yes!
Wang Xiaoming directly stabbed Est into Lamia's chest, but not too deeply, so as not to injure her.
Lamia, suddenly feeling pain as her chest was pierced, immediately screamed and struggled violently against her restraints. Not only that, but the Dragon's Remnant Shadows behind her also went berserk, launching a frenzied attack straight ahead.
To maintain his position, Wang Xiaoming had to keep Est steady in his hand, because the curses piled on Lamia were quite numerous. From numerous worlds, the curses and malice towards vampires were all on her. Because Leticia had fallen into a Demon Lord, all the negative evaluations of vampires from the worlds collected by the Little Garden should have been concentrated on her, but Lamia bore it all in Leticia's stead.
Based on Est's speed of absorbing curses, it would take at least three seconds!
And during these three seconds, Wang Xiaoming needed to stand his ground as much as possible to withstand the attacks. After all, he hadn't asked Lamia and Leticia to help him block the attacks.
Thus, the wildly dancing Dragon's Remnant Shadows began to slash at Wang Xiaoming's body.
The armor on Wang Xiaoming's body was instantly disintegrated by the Dragon's Remnant Shadows. In just one second, the Dragon's Remnant Shadows launched hundreds of attacks, tearing the air within the stone chamber. The armor, which was originally just a high-strength alloy, was shattered in a few hits, and then the blue undershirt beneath Wang Xiaoming's armor was also torn to shreds, forcing him to endure the attacks with his bare flesh.
The physical qualities of a Godslayer, coupled with Est's steel enhancement, allowed Wang Xiaoming's body to constantly withstand the attacks of the Dragon's Remnant Shadows without being instantly shredded.
But he was still cut with many bloody marks. In the first second, the armor and undershirt shattered. In the second second, dozens of bloody marks were cut on Wang Xiaoming's chest. In the third second, the Dragon's Remnant Shadows' attacks weakened significantly.
Because the curses on Lamia had been absorbed and weakened a lot, the light in Lamia's eyes began to return.
After the third second ended, the Dragon's Remnant Shadows completely stopped.
After three seconds, Wang Xiaoming's body was covered in tiny wounds, and Lamia had completely stopped moving.
Her original jet-black skin slowly turned white, but her dry, yellow hair had not immediately recovered. After all, she had endured the curse for hundreds of years, and even if she recovered, it was impossible to fully recover immediately.
Wang Xiaoming pulled the sword out of her chest, allowing Est to return to his body.
Swinging his sword, Wang Xiaoming cut the chains binding Lamia and picked her up from the ground, slowly walking out of the stone chamber.
Leticia and Lamia, anxiously waiting outside the stone chamber, immediately rushed to greet him when they saw Wang Xiaoming carrying Lamia out.
"Mother!"
Lamia took Lamia from Wang Xiaoming's arms, looked at Lamia's peaceful face, and happily burst into tears. For her mother's sake, she had lurked within Ouroboros for so many years, and now her mother was finally saved.
Leticia looked at her sister, whom she hadn't seen for hundreds of years but whose face was still familiar, and couldn't help but shed tears.
"Lamia."
"Her curse has been completely removed by me. Next, she just needs enough time to recuperate, and then she can recover."
Wang Xiaoming placed his left hand on Leticia's little head, saying reassuring words to Leticia.
Leticia looked up at Wang Xiaoming with tears in her eyes, looking at the wounds on his chest that resembled a spider web.
"Master, you're injured!"
"It's nothing, just a few minor injuries."
Wang Xiaoming waved his hand.
"Lamia's curse was more than I imagined. It took me three seconds to remove it, so I took a little damage."
As he spoke, Wang Xiaoming reached into his dimensional pocket and took out a spare top, preparing to put it on.
"Now that Lamia's curse has been removed, I have fulfilled my promise to you, and you can rest assured."
"Thank you, Master."
Leticia nodded with a smile.
"But it's not over yet."
Wang Xiaoming continued to speak while putting on his clothes.
"Not over yet?"
Leticia was a little confused. Wasn't it said that it was already resolved?
"Of course, it's not over. Your sister's curse has been resolved, but I haven't broken the fate that binds you to the name of Demon Lord yet."
Wang Xiaoming, having put on his clothes, smiled and looked at Leticia.
"I did say that the shackles that bind you will be broken by me!"
"Now, Leticia, do you believe me?"
Looking down at Leticia, Wang Xiaoming awaited her reply.
"Yes, I believe in Master!"
Leticia nodded earnestly.
