All she wanted was for the unfamiliar swelling to go down.
[Ah, just endure that for now. I used a small trick; it'll wear off in a day.]
"Huh?"
A day?
So for the next day, she'd have to deal with a swollen butt that hurt whether she sat or stood, unable to do anything?
"Waaaah, why does it have to be like this"
Once again, large teardrops rolled down Milim's cheeks.
[From now on, behave yourself. Don't go causing headaches for your aunt with that insolent attitude. Got it?]
"Ugh okay."
She was no longer in any position to talk back, with no trace of her former tyrannical demon-lord bearing.
Meanwhile, in a huge hot spring prepared for Rei Ao by Treyni
"Mmm, very good," Rei Ao nodded in satisfaction.
"Master, do you like this sort of thing?"
Frey spread the wings on her back. Paired with her nude figure, she looked like a seductive angelor perhaps a fallen angel. At that moment, she was performing. She assumed Rei Ao's earlier praise was directed at her, and her sultry gaze brimmed with anticipation.
Rei Ao didn't let her down. He smiled in approval. "Frey, you're doing well. I didn't expect a first-timer to be so skilled."
Frey's cheeks flushed, and she gave a soft moan. "Maybe it's a natural talent of us winged folk."
"That's quite impressive. Frey, can you speed up a bit?"
"Mmm, whatever you command, Master."
She picked up the pace, which pleased Rei Ao even more. Then he called Velzard and Velgrynd over, telling them, "I've given your little niece some minor discipline. From now on, act like proper aunts in front of her instead of fighting all the time."
"Oh?"
Velzard's beautiful eyes gleamed.
"You mean you want us to be one big happy family?"
"You're not planning anything with Milim, are you?"
Even Velgrynd, who was receiving his caresses, couldn't help but appear suspicious.
"Sigh, what do you two think I am?"
Rei Ao sighed.
"..."
The people gathered around the hot spring looked at one another in silence.
One glance at this scenesteamy, fragrant, and spellbindingwas enough to see Rei Ao's true nature, no further explanation needed.
A total pervert. Enough said!
[Scene shifts to Douluo Continent]
Within the Spirit Hall, numerous Title Douluo held great sway. No one could easily obtain information about its major internal affairs. However, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan wasn't as formidable. They couldn't manage to keep everything under wraps.
Word had gotten out about Yu Xiaogang, the son of Yu Chenzhenthe Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's patriarch. A certain group with vested interests had caught wind of it, namely the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan (one of the top three clans).
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan was anything but weak. Together with the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and the Clear Sky Clan, they were among the three most powerful on the continent and possessed one of the strongest support-type martial spirits. Their sect had two Title Douluo, fifteen Spirit Douluo, and eighty-six Soul Saint.
At that moment, there were three people in the grand hall of the clan.
The entire hall was silent.
A man was seated in the main seat, with two men standing by his sideone in white, one in black, both with upright bearing.
The man seated in the main seat wore well-ordered attire; he had a refined appearance and elegant demeanor. He was frowning as he read the letter in his hand.
This was none other than the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan's current patriarch, who was also the Imperial Preceptor to the Crown Prince of the Heaven Dou Empire: Ning Fengzhi, a seventy-ninth-level support-type Spirit Saint. As the wielder of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, he was hailed as the "Continent's Number One Support-type Soul Master."
After reading the letter, his expression was solemn, and he muttered quietly with a serious look: "A storm is coming"

Chapter 323: Upheaval, Why is Rei Ao Popular? (Bonus Chapter)
"What's making you so solemn, Fengzhi?"
Standing beside Ning Fengzhi was a man as sharp as a divine sword. After reading the letter, Ning Fengzhi's brow furrowed with worry.
"Uncle Sword, Uncle Bone, take a look."
He handed the secret letter directly to the two of them.
He trusted them so much because they were the only two Titled Douluos of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Clan.
The man in white wore a spotless white robe.
His hair and beard were all white.
A head of silvery hair was neatly tied behind him.
His features were unadorned, and his face was as delicate as a baby's.
His expression was indifferent, as though he couldn't see anything around him.
Yet merely standing there, he exuded an aura that seemed to say: "Heaven and earth and all living things exist beneath me alone."
His name was Chen Xin, the Guardian Douluo of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Clan and an honorary elder of Spirit Hall.
He was a Rank 97 Peak Power Attack Titled Douluo with the title "Sword."
His martial soul was the Seven Kill Sword, rumored to be the strongest attacking Titled Douluo.
He was also the clan's representative inscribed on the Supreme Pontiff's Decree.
The man in black had a face as withered as dead wood.
His muscles and skin were sunken; his eye sockets deeply hollowed.
He wasn't bulky with huge muscles, but his skeletal frame was shockingly large, making it seem as if his clothing was propped up by bones.
His name was Gu Rong, another Guardian Douluo of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Clan.
He was a Rank 95 Defense Titled Douluo with the title "Bone," possessing the Bone Dragon martial soul, reputed to be the most mysterious among the Titled Douluos.
They were like two protecting deities of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Clan, vital to its standing as one of the top seven sects. Certainly, the clan's super support-type martial soul was important, but it could never have maintained its position without the support of Chen Xin and Gu Rong.
They had also watched Ning Fengzhi grow up since childhood, so he naturally trusted them.
"Hmm?"
Chen Xin let out a slight exclamation of surprise after seeing the letter's contents.
That made Gu Rong, who had yet to read it, itch with curiosity.
"Old Sword, what did you see? Why do you both look so strange?"
"Ah, Old Bones, what's your hurry? Here, take a look. We need to be prepared; the times are about to change."
Chen Xin didn't mind his friend's teasing. That was just how they had always interacted.
"I want to see what's got you two acting all mysterious."
Grumbling, Gu Rong snatched the secret letter with his shriveled hand.
Very soon, Gu Rong's eyes widened.
"That good-for-nothing son of Yu Chenzhen was crippled by someone else?"
He spoke quite crudely, but that was indeed what the letter said.
Chen Xin sighed. "Although Yu Chenzhen's son had average talenteven a useless, mutated martial soulhe hadn't yet been driven out of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, and still held the title of 'son of the clan master.' Who in the world would dare to do such a thing?"
"The letter says it happened near Spirit City," Gu Rong pointed at the secret message, grumbling, "It must have been those bastards from Spirit Hall."
Because the upper three sects did not have a good relationship with Spirit Hall, Gu Rong's opinion of Spirit Hall was even lower than his opinion of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
"Old Bones, you can say that here in our clan, but don't speak such reckless words elsewhere."
Chen Xin admonished him seriously. He knew his old friend's loose tongue far too well.
Ning Fengzhi also nodded. "Indeed, for now it's only speculation."
Frowning, he continued, "But everything does seem quite coincidental."
"Fengzhi, do you mean Spirit Hall's recent unusual movements?" Chen Xin recalled the strict precautions Spirit Hall had been taking.
"Yes. Spirit Hall's sudden large-scale mobilizationeven those worshiping elders have come out of seclusiondefinitely isn't simple."
"Ah"
With a deep sigh, Ning Fengzhi pressed at his temples in frustration.
"The entire continent may be on the verge of a violent upheaval."
"Then we'll face soldiers with soldiers, and water with earth. We'll just make our own preparations. Right now, our focus should be on the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan," Chen Xin said calmly.
He saw things clearly. In any event, preparing for the worst would never be a mistake.
Ning Fengzhi understood that as well.
But Gu Rong obviously had other considerations on his mind.
"Fengzhi, we must leave ourselves a future, so" He narrowed his eyes and hinted meaningfully.
"That's quite right. The Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Clan must not be left without descendants."
Chen Xin, with arms crossed, nodded in agreement.
"Er"
Ning Fengzhi tugged awkwardly at the corners of his mouth. They were telling him to have children.
"Ahem I'll consider it."
Is Rei Ao's home really so popular?
Kawasaki Saki couldn't help feeling a bit emotional.
She had just finished cleaning up and doing her job when three people arrived at the house. Two were here to learn from a girl named Ilia, and the other was a teacher.
In practically no time at all, the house was filled with a bunch of girls.
Now, she somewhat understood why people in the group chat said Rei Ao had a "succubus" effect. Regardless of everyone's reasons for coming, they were all converging here.
"Kawasaki-san, your work is done. Here's the payment Rei Ao-kun asked me to give you."
Mai approached and handed her some cash.
"Isn't this too much?!"
Just a quick glance was enough for Kawasaki Saki to see that the amount exceeded what she earned from a full week's shift at the bar.
And all she did was tidy up the placesweeping, mopping, and dusting the basics.
She didn't think she deserved that much money.
Seeing her reaction, Mai's eyes flickered as she got an idea.
"In fact, there's something else that needs doing. Originally, either I or Tohru or Futaba would take care of it, but would you be willing to handle it instead?"
"What is it? I'd like to hear more."
Kawasaki Saki's eyes lit up. If she could do more work, it would feel more natural to accept that payment.
"Follow me."
Mai headed toward the main bedroom, and Kawasaki Saki hurried after her.

Chapter 324: Critical Condition...
Under Mai's guidance, they led her to the master bedroom.
Pointing at some clothes on a nearby chair, she pressed a hand to her forehead in exasperation and said, "It's just washing these clothes."
They have to change their clothes every day at that household, especially undergarments, because there's a very, very perverted Rei Ao at homea beast who can charge in at any moment.
"Alright!"
Kawasaki Saki agreed to this job right away. Not only that, she even planned to wash everything by hand, thinking it was the only way to earn her high pay honestly.
"Then I'll leave it to you,"
Sakurajima Mai said meaningfully, patting her on the shoulder before leaving.
Kawasaki Saki walked up and reached out to pick up the clothing. The first item was a conspicuous men's suitobviously Rei Ao's.
It was her first time washing a man's clothing, so she definitely felt embarrassed. Even so, she mustered her courage and took it. One piece after another, she noticed something strange: many garments had been violently torn. At first, she was only slightly puzzleduntil she found some extremely outlandish lingerie. At that moment, she immediately understood how those torn clothes had ended up that way.
""
For a while, she stood there staring at the big bed in the room, lost in thought. Her imagination ran wild. It seemed that something she dared not even picture had taken place here.
At the Yotsuba household.
Shiba Miyuki returned home for the weekend. Originally, she should have been quite happy, but the inexplicable older brother, Shiba Tatsuyawho kept following her aroundsoured her mood. She found it baffling to suddenly have an older brother, and it was even more irritating that he seemed to monitor her every move. Throughout the trip, Shiba Miyuki never said a single word to him.
Once inside the house, everything was tidy and quiet.
"Mom, I'm back," Shiba Miyuki called, but her mother did not respond.
Clang!
A sudden noise came from the direction of the master bedroom. Shiba Tatsuya glanced over coolly, narrowed his eyes slightly, and took out his CAD, preparing his magic.
"Miyuki?"
Shiba Miyuki's ears twitched. She seemed to hear her mother weakly calling her name.
"Mom!"
Startled, she dashed straight to the master bedroom and pushed the door open.
"Ugh!!"
A strong, pungent medicinal smell assaulted her senses. Inside, a pale figure was trying to stand by steadying herself against the bed. It was her mother. Though she looked frail and exhausted, Miyuki still recognized her.
"Mom!"
Without hesitation, Miyuki rushed forward to support her mother. Once on the bed, Shiba MiyaMiyuki's motherleaned feebly against the headboard. She was about to speak when
"Cough, cough, cough!"
A violent fit of coughing prevented her from saying anything further. Her hand, which covered her mouth, was smeared with fresh blood.
"Mom, what's wrong? What's happening to you?"
Seeing her mother in such a state, Shiba Miyuki grew so anxious that tears began to fall. Meanwhile, Shiba Tatsuyathis supposed "son" of Shiba Miyastood by with a cold, detached look, doing nothing. Given his position, it was not surprising. He wasn't truly Shiba Miya's child and was, in many ways, like a machine devoid of emotion.
"Sister!"
Another voice came from outside. It was Yotsuba Maya, rushing in anxiously with a furrowed brow. Stepping into the room, she took in the scene at once. She knew her sister was at the end of her life, but she never expected it to come this soon. Worse yet, the very thing she least wanted had happened: Miya had intended to hide all this from her daughter, but now Shiba Miyuki had come back unexpectedly and seen everything.
"Family Head!"
At Maya's arrival, Shiba Miyuki felt as though she had found her pillar of support and pleaded at once, "Family Head, is my mom sick? Should we take her to the hospital?"
