I am the Archmage

Chapter 141 Linsa

I suddenly reached out and grabbed both Linsa and Aya gently by their fragrant shoulders, pressing them together. Then I stared intently at their stunningly beautiful faces, scrutinizing them carefully.

Aya asked curiously, “Master, what are you doing?”

I lowered my hands and said, “I’ve always thought there was something similar about your looks. Now that I take a closer look, you really do resemble each other quite a bit, and you both carry traces of Lucifer’s features. Aya, Linsa, it seems you really are blood-related sisters.”

The two princesses—one of Heaven and the other of Hell—immediately began examining each other carefully. In the past, they were sworn enemies, always at each other’s throats, so they had never bothered to study one another’s appearances. Now, as they took a closer look, they both saw traces of themselves and of Lucifer in each other’s delicate and flawless faces.

Aya sighed and shifted her gaze away from Linsa’s rosy face. With a bitter smile, she said, “Father never told me anything about this… Linsa, can you tell us in detail what exactly happened?”

Linsa nodded and repeated the story that the Lord of Gods had once told her.

Lucifer, that sly old fox, really did have incredible luck with women. The Lord of Gods was undoubtedly the most stunningly beautiful woman I had ever seen. While Yuyi, Bing Qingying, and the others might rival her in appearance, they lacked her unique blend of charm, majesty, maturity, and other captivating qualities.

However, his inability to manage his romantic entanglements properly had led to jealousy, betrayal, and eventually war. I had to take this as a warning—I couldn’t allow myself to follow in his footsteps.

As I was silently reminding myself to tread carefully, Aya grabbed Linsa’s delicate hand and said excitedly, “We’re really sisters? This is amazing! I’ve always dreamed of having a sibling who shares my bloodline. Father had so many concubines, yet I was his only daughter. Now my wish has finally come true, and my sister is none other than the renowned Heavenly Princess and first genius of Heaven. This is wonderful!”

Linsa, too, found herself growing fond of her newfound younger sister. Turning her gaze toward me, she suddenly said, “Demon King Wu Lai, that makes you my brother-in-law now. Why don’t you call me ‘big sister’ and let me hear it?”

This cheeky girl really knew how to push her luck. As a proud man, I couldn’t just bow my head to her, yet by her status, she was technically my elder sister. What was I to do?

My eyes darted around as a plan formed in my mind. Heh, heh, heh… all I had to do was make her my wife, and then the problem would solve itself! After all, letting a breathtaking beauty like her slip away would feel like a grave injustice to myself.

Alright, it’s decided!

A sly smile crept onto my lips before I even realized it. Aya, who knew me inside and out, immediately picked up on my intentions. She smiled mysteriously at Linsa, then leaned toward me and whispered in my ear, “Master, I know exactly what you’re thinking, and I support you. Hehe, imagine me supporting the man I love the most in pursuing another woman. Even I have to admit how noble I am.”

I couldn’t help but blush slightly, despite my thick skin. I quietly reached out and gave Aya’s plump hip a gentle squeeze as a playful punishment. Aya let out a startled yelp and quickly jumped a few steps away, her beautiful face flushed a lovely pink, making her look utterly adorable.

Linsa, though unaware of what we were up to, instinctively sensed a hint of danger, her keen intuition warning her. She then caught sight of the mischievous smile on my face.

“Wu Lai, what are you planning to do...?”

Before she could finish her sentence, it was abruptly cut off, as her soft, rosy lips were sealed by mine.

Linsa’s reaction was one of intense struggle. This was completely different from the last time when she had no choice but to let me steal her first kiss. She used her elbows and knees to strike at my body, and even her pearly white teeth snapped together in an attempt to bite my lips and tongue.

Employing the "redirecting force" technique from the "Tai Chi" principles I had learned, I used subtle muscle vibrations combined with a trace of "Demonic Battle Energy" to neutralize the force of her blows. Meanwhile, my tongue deftly avoided her snapping teeth and lightly brushed against her delicate little tongue.

Linsa’s body instantly shuddered as if struck by lightning, and for a brief moment, her mind went completely blank, halting her furious resistance entirely.

After leaving Wu Lai and Linsa’s little world, Aya disguised herself and set out to investigate the location where Shannon and the others were imprisoned. However, the angels in the “Ethereal City” were entirely unaware of the earth-shattering duel between the two supreme powerhouses at the “Divine Hall,” let alone the whereabouts of Shannon and the others.

The truth about the Divine King and the Demon King, as revealed by Linsa, had a profound impact on Aya. Her mother had been a concubine deeply loved by Lucifer but had unfortunately passed away early. Furthermore, though Lucifer had countless consorts, Aya was his only daughter, and as a result, he lavished almost all his affection upon her. Similarly, before Wu Lai appeared, Lucifer was the most important person in Aya’s life. She sincerely wished for Lucifer to find happiness, for she could sense that despite being surrounded by countless beauties, her father carried an unhealable wound in his heart—a pain she could not touch. Now, she finally understood the source of that pain—The Divine King.

The reason she willingly facilitated Wu Lai and Linsa’s relationship was not only because she had noticed Linsa’s feelings for Wu Lai but also because she wanted to use their union to mend the relationship between Lucifer and the Divine King, and, by extension, the relationship between the Demon Realm and the Heavenly Realm.

She longed for the end of war.

After spending half a day in the city without finding even the slightest clue about Shannon and the others, Aya had no choice but to return to Wu Lai’s hideout in disappointment.

As she approached the small house from about a dozen meters away, she suddenly sensed an unusual fluctuation of power. Her heart skipped a beat, and she rushed into the house at high speed. The scene before her eyes left her stunned: Linsa lay on the bed, her bare body entirely uncovered, sleeping soundly. A satisfied smile of post-storm serenity graced her rosy lips. Meanwhile, Wu Lai was floating mid-air above the bed, six streams of light in various colors tightly wrapping around his body. Sweat poured from him like raindrops, and it was evident he was enduring immense pain.

What on earth had happened here?
