Chapter 6: Let's Call Her Little Meow
"You... if you don't let go of me... I'm going to make a move!"
Lilith, hanging upside down, twisted her body desperately while threatening with a feigned fierceness.
However, the dark figure clearly didn't take this ruffled loli seriously.
"Move, go on, move~"
The human face, condensed from black mist, pressed closer, its tone full of a cat-playing-with-mouse mockery:
"This body is made of special vengeful spirits and can suppress the magic circuits of anyone it touches. If I entangle you, you can only break free with brute force—look at your delicate arms and legs, do you really think you can resist me?"
With that, the tentacles tightened even more wantonly.
"Eeeek!"
Lilith let out another pitiful shriek.
The slippery, cold tentacles continued upward along her thighs, about to do something, something, something! Seeing the situation become extremely critical, Lilith's sense of shame instantly reached its peak.
"D-damn it!"
"I'm a man! Why do I have to go through this!"
"Damn goddess! Don't let me see you again! Otherwise, I'll definitely greet your entire eighteen generations of ancestors!"
Tears of humiliation welled up in her eyes.
As a pure man in the past, she was now subjected to the treatment of a borderline heroine. This humiliation was even worse than death!
Finally, the string of her sanity snapped.
No matter how much she thought about it, she couldn't be bullied so badly by some inexplicable black blob on her first day of transmigration!
So Lilith tightly closed her eyes, used all her strength, and with immense humiliation and a will to survive, shouted the words she never wanted to utter in her life:
"Master! Help!"
Boom—!
The moment the words fell.
Asmodeus, who had been completely still, moved.
"Ah!"
The dark figure only managed a short scream.
The next instant, a black lightning bolt tore through space. Asmodeus appeared before Lilith at a terrifying speed completely imperceptible to the naked eye.
No fancy magic, just a simple, unadorned straight punch.
Bang—!!!
The black mist human face, pressed against Lilith's ear, was instantly shattered by that punch!
Immediately after, Asmodeus scooped her up with one hand, catching her steadily before she could hit the ground.
"Scram."
He coldly uttered a single word.
Holding Lilith with his left hand, dark red demonic fire ignited in his right palm, and he made a grabbing motion at the remaining tentacles in the air.
Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle—
Like hot oil poured on snow, those incredibly tough tentacles instantly turned to ash.
"Dare to touch my woman? You're courting death."
"I... I will be back!"
The remnants on the ground let out a final, unwilling roar, then completely dissipated into the air, leaving only a faint smell of burning.
The battle ended too quickly for Lilith to even react.
At this moment, she was nestled in Asmodeus's broad embrace, with tears of humiliation still clinging to the corners of her eyes, her cheeks flushed with an alluring pink from the earlier shame.
Her pearly teeth bit tightly on her lower lip, looking like a wronged little wife, both pitiful and utterly adorable.
Asmodeus lowered his head, meeting her wet red eyes.
"…"
The Demon Lord's pupils contracted slightly.
Somehow, upon seeing Lilith's eyes, a certain emotion seemed to flash through his heart.
But as the supreme ruler of the Demon Realm, he quickly suppressed that feeling with his powerful willpower, returning to his previous cold, expressionless demeanor.
"Are you alright?"
He asked indifferently.
"Uh... I, I'm fine..."
Lilith replied blankly.
It's just... she wondered if it was because of her Succubus physique, but at this close distance, looking at Asmodeus's chiseled handsome face, coupled with the hero-saving-the-beauty scene, she actually thought... "This guy is too handsome?!"
"Wait? No!"
"Snap out of it, Old Duan! You're a man! This guy is also a man! Don't get inexplicably bent just because your body turned into a loli!"
Swish, swish, swish—
Lilith shook her head vigorously, finally regaining her composure.
Then, as if sensing something, she couldn't help but awkwardly struggle a bit:
"You... you let me down first."
It turned out that since earlier, they had been in a standard princess carry.
"Oh."
Asmodeus responded, not making things difficult for her, and gently set her down.
Lilith straightened her messy skirt, tidied her clothes and her feelings, then looked up, wanting to say thank you to ease the awkwardness... but she saw Asmodeus stroking his chin, his brow slightly furrowed, seemingly contemplating some profound philosophical question.
"What's wrong, Lord Demon King?"
Lilith asked cautiously.
Asmodeus looked at her with a serious expression:
"By the way, I haven't given you a name yet."
"Huh?"
Hearing this, Lilith was first stunned, then amused.
"So that's what he was thinking about all this time?"
She puffed out her ample chest and said confidently:
"You don't need to trouble yourself with such matters, I have a name. I am Lilith Augu—"
"You greatly resemble a cat I raised three hundred years ago."
Asmodeus didn't listen to what she was saying, directly interrupting her, then announced in an unquestionable tone:
"You shall be called 'Little Meow'."
"…"
Dead silence.
Over ten seconds of dead silence... Lilith's eye twitched uncontrollably, and the small fists at her sides gradually clenched.
"Little Meow, my ass!"
"I, a dignified seven-foot man, a ninth-tier Great Succubus, the future Dragon Among Men! You're calling me Little Meow?"
"Your whole family is Little Meow! I'll kill you!"
They hardened.
Her fists hardened!
If she didn't know she couldn't win, Lilith would really want to punch Asmodeus in the face right now!
"Um... Lord Demon King..."
After much deliberation, Lilith suppressed her anger and still tried to reason:
"I actually have a name, and isn't 'Little Meow' a bit too..."
"Hmm?"
Asmodeus raised an eyebrow, his gaze instantly becoming sharp:
"Are you dissatisfied with the name I bestowed upon you?"
"Ugh!"
Feeling that familiar oppressive sense of death, Lilith trembled all over, her will to survive instantly overcoming her dignity.
She immediately shook her head like a rattle drum, her face plastered with a fawning smile:
"No, no, no! Extremely satisfied! This name is so lovely! From now on, I am Little Meow!"
"Hmm, that's more like it."
Asmodeus nodded in satisfaction, seemingly very confident in his naming taste.
But then, the atmosphere became a bit awkward.
The crisis was over, and the dungeon was very desolate.
At some point, Asmodeus had very naturally taken Lilith's small hand again—clearly, this diligent Demon Lord had not forgotten his great "procreation" endeavor.
Lilith felt very uncomfortable about this;
Looking at the tall figure beside her, she couldn't help but complain inwardly:
"This guy is so tall... probably 1.9 meters, right?"
"My height of 1.5 meters something, standing next to him, feels like an adult holding a child..."
"Damn height difference!"
"Wait? By the way, Asmodeus thinks holding hands will make a child..."
As she thought this, Lilith secretly glanced at the Demon Lord.
"So he's thinking about 'that' kind of thing all the time now? Proper on the surface, but full of vulgar trash inside?"
"Pfft... pure little virgin... hohoho~"
Thinking of this, Lilith couldn't help but let out a "pfft" of laughter, but fearing she'd be discovered, she quickly turned her head, pretending to look at the scenery.
Just then, Asmodeus finally spoke.
"By the way..."
He turned his head, looking at Lilith with a serious expression.
"W-what is it?"
Lilith was startled, thinking her secret laughter had been discovered.
"Are you hungry?"
"Huh?"
Lilith was taken aback, subconsciously touching her flat little belly.
After the fight and being tormented by the tentacle monster, she did feel a bit empty.
"I'm alright... um... actually, I am a bit hungry. Why? Are you going to treat me to a meal?"
Lilith blinked expectantly.
Asmodeus nodded, but didn't produce any food. Instead, he frowned and explained:
"I possess the body of a Demon God; even without eating, merely by absorbing ambient magic, I can live for hundreds of years. But as for you, I'm not entirely sure. Since you are a Succubus, you should also need to eat, right? If you're hungry, you'll need to find food."
"Yeah, so?"
Lilith naturally extended her small hand, blinking her big eyes as she asked:
"Where's the food?"
But to this, Asmodeus merely spread his hands:
"This is a sealed land, with only rocks and monsters—hmm? You're not implying that I, your master, should go find food, are you?"
"…"
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh~~~
A chilling, eerie wind blew past her feet.
The scene shifted, and Lilith's eyes were wide, her tender little mouth forming a perfect "O" shape.
"Wait? So that means..."
"I'm going to starve to death here?!"
