Levia looked at Linde, feeling inexplicably nervous.
If before it was for her family...
Then now, it was for herself.
The temptation of ascending beyond a Devil King was too sweet.
"Alright, then I'll let the host lead the way."
Linde smiled slightly and made a gesture of invitation.
"Then Master, please follow me."
Seeing this, Levia's skin had already turned pink.
She initiative took Linde's large hand and led him out of the hall.
It must be said...
The Phoenix Family truly lives up to its reputation as one of the pure-blooded families.
The family's foundation is extremely deep.
Even the placement of ordinary vases was meticulously crafted.
Levia led the way, introducing the layout as she went.
Unconsciously, they had arrived at a pink room.
Dolls were placed everywhere, and the decor was very cute.
"Master, whether you believe it or not, I truly hold no hatred in my heart."
Levia held Linde's slender palms in both hands, gazing into his eyes, and spoke sincerely.
"Do you feel my sincerity?"
Linde gazed into her eyes, feeling carefully.
"Hmm..."
Noticing Linde's gaze, Levia's pretty face flushed slightly.
"I think your sincerity might not be enough yet."
Linde said earnestly.
Levia naturally had no objection to this.
She wanted to use her sincerity to eliminate any distance between her and her Master.
Linde reached out and gave her a head pat, power beginning to surge.
"Master, what's happening? Has my level increased?"
Levia looked towards the window, a surprised expression on her face.
"This is also a benefit for Retainers."
Linde replied earnestly.
And explained briefly.
"So Master, you also have such a great ability?"
Levia turned her head, and as her eyes shimmered, reverence and affection could subtly be seen.
In a daze, Levia only felt countless illusions appearing before her.
But soon, they were all replaced by Linde's tall and magnificent figure.
"Indeed, neither devils nor gods can compare to Master's greatness."
She shed tears of emotion.
The tears of the phoenix naturally activated, causing Levia to frown deeply.
"..."
Goodness.
As expected of a secret treasure that heals any injury, its effect is indeed powerful.
It completely wasted his previous efforts.
Fortunately...
There was plenty of time.
He was not one to give up halfway.
lucifugus Family Castle.
In the living room.
Grayfia leaned back in her chair, rocking constantly, her ivory-colored toes occasionally tapping the floor.
She pouted and said, "Little Linde hasn't contacted me in a long time."
"Could he have been charmed by some philandering cat in the Human World?"
As she spoke, she had already taken out her phone.
Due to the development of human technology, the Underworld also kept pace with the times.
Phones created with magic could even communicate across realms without difficulty.
Then!
She saw a message.
"Ryser is dead."
"Little Linde did it?"
Grayfia suddenly stood up from her chair, her face full of disbelief.
However, it seemed entirely possible.
That scumbag was Rias's fiancé, wasn't he?
What did this mean?
A fit of rage for a beauty?
Grayfia quickly made a call.
"Little Linde, did you really kill Ryser?"
"Sister Fia, you already know?"
Linde held the phone in one hand and grabbed a ponytail with the other, his actions not stopping: "But don't worry, the Phoenix Family is no longer pursuing this matter."
"By the way, I have something else to do, so I'll talk to you later."
On the other side...
Hearing the beeping sound, Grayfia was in a state of disarray.
What kind of sound was that just now?
Her chest felt a little tight.
Had Little Linde and Rias already started something?
"No, Little Linde has always been very diligent; he must be doing some special training."
Grayfia clenched her fists and said firmly, "It must be like that."
Otherwise, how could he have killed Ryser in the Phoenix Family Castle in such a short time?
"He must have been training very hard during this time."
Grayfia nodded vigorously: "As for Rias, she must have acted out of childhood friendship."
Although she said this, she wished she could teleport there directly.
But not yet.
Even if the Phoenix Family doesn't pursue it...
The other pure-blooded devil families would probably be furious.
She was going to be very busy now.
The next morning!
Linde stretched, feeling refreshed and invigorated.
Sensing Linde's movement, Levia let out an unconscious murmur.
"Master... I've eaten enough, I'm so full."
Slap!
Linde slapped her, leaving a faint palm print on her skin.
"Alright, come back to the Human World with me."
"Oh."
Hearing Linde's words, Levia reluctantly propped herself up.
She yawned, displaying an extraordinary resilient physique.
Although the time wasn't long.
The improvement was also very significant.
She believed it wouldn't be long before she could upgrade to the level of a High-Class Devil.
After she finished washing up, her petite body exuded a charming, mature aura, like that of a married woman.
Because she was going to the Human World, Levia informed her brother.
Then she immediately began packing her things.
Just clothes alone filled several large bags.
Other jewelry was an even bigger pile.
"..."
These things were enough to open a shopping mall, weren't they?
He asked faintly, "Is there anything else you need to bring?"
"No, Master."
Realizing she had made her Master wait too long, Levia felt a bit embarrassed.
"Alright, then let's go."
Linde gently held Levia's slender waist, near the Magic Circle beneath their feet.
Kuoh Academy.
Occult Research Club.
Linde and Levia's figures appeared.
Sensing the familiar magic fluctuations, Rias rushed over, immediately seeing Linde.
She instantly let out a huge sigh of relief.
It seemed he was fine.
She had been worried ever since receiving the news that Riser had been killed by Linde.
Fearing that something might have happened to Linde.
Now it seemed everything was alright.
But soon, she saw the graceful figure beside Linde, and her expression stiffened slightly.
Well, her worries were purely superfluous.
But this guy, he never forgets to bring women back wherever he goes, does he?
If this continues, his villa probably won't be able to fit everyone, will it?
"You're here, Rias. This is Levia, my new Retainer."
Levia pulled up her long skirt and curtsied slightly, saying, "Hello, future head of the Gremory family. I am Levia Phoenix."
Rias was a bit stunned: "She's from the Phoenix Family?"
Her gaze immediately became complicated.
"Riser is her brother, right?"
"That's right."
Linde said calmly, "Is there a problem?"
Rias: "..."
She truly admired Linde now.
This move was absolutely outrageous.
"Never mind, as long as you're okay."
"Haha, how could anything happen to me?"
Linde smiled, "By the way, regarding the Phoenix Family matter, your brother still needs to step in."
Although he wasn't afraid, Sister Fia had definitely already gotten involved.
He believed that with Sazex's intervention, the pressure would be much less.
"I already told my brother about this a long time ago, no need to worry."
Rias said, "According to my brother's meaning, although it's a bit troublesome, I believe it can be resolved."
"Is that so? Then what reward do you want?"
Linde had a knowing look on his face.
Rias's pretty face flushed slightly, and she glanced at Levia next to Linde.
Doing something together...
She'd rather not.
"Is that so? Then come find me when you have time, you're always welcome."
After leaving the old school building, Levia held Linde's hand, looking left and right on the street, appearing very excited.
"What, haven't you been to the Human World before?"
Linde looked at her strangely, "Is there a need to be so happy?"
"(Sigh) Hehe, I was very young back then."
Levia smiled brightly, "And now looking at it, the Human World has changed so much."
"Master, can you accompany me for a stroll?"
Of course, Linde would not refuse a Retainer's reasonable request.
Dating was something Linde was well-versed in.
They walked along the commercial street.
Levia was like a curious baby, curious about everything.
Later, she completely let loose, wanting to try everything.
"This girl."
Linde followed behind, looking a bit helpless.
This no longer felt like a date.
It was more like taking a daughter out.
Just as he was about to catch up, his attention was drawn by a purple-clad figure.
Her long purple hair fell naturally over her shoulders.
On her delicate and beautiful face, her skin was fair and smooth, like polished white jade.
The girl's figure was tall, yet voluptuous.
Her pink outer garment outlined the perfect curves of her full chest.
Her slender, tight waist showed no trace of excess flesh.
Beneath her purple long skirt, her buttocks were perky, like a ripe peach.
A pair of black thigh-high stockings covered her legs, outlining perfect thigh curves.
"This woman looks somewhat familiar, which anime character is she?"
Linde opened his panel to check.
He immediately saw a flashing Demon Contract.
Hmm... who cares.
Since he'd encountered her, he might as well take her as a Retainer.
Linde changed direction and walked towards the girl.
Senjougahara Hitagi, sitting on a chair, also noticed Linde's movement.
He was very handsome.
He was her type.
However, she currently wasn't in a position to be in a relationship.
Senjougahara Hitagi spoke without hesitation: "Sorry, not interested, no date."
"..."
Good heavens, I haven't even said anything yet.
This combination of punches directly made Linde swallow his words.
Sensing Linde's gaze, Senjougahara Hitagi frowned.
Why wasn't he leaving?
If she said anything more, it might be a bit hurtful.
Was it not good?
Senjougahara Hitagi became hesitant.
However, at this moment, Linde spoke: "Don't be in a hurry to refuse me, after all, my profession is to bring help to people."
"Sorry, I don't need it."
Senjougahara Hitagi refused mercilessly.
"Don't be so certain."
Linde smiled slightly, his deep eyes gazing at Senjougahara Hitagi: "After all, as a Devil, my wishes are very precious, you know."
"???"
Senjougahara Hitagi froze in place..
