222: Chapter 223 Still Demon Sisters
The demon girl who was summoned first had her figure completely solidified; her posture was lazy yet carried a wild sense of power. She slowly stood up from her half-reclining position, her long, straight legs encased in black metal combat boots standing firmly. Around her slender yet explosive waist hung two uniquely shaped curved blades; the sheaths were also black, with faint dark red flame patterns flowing across them, complementing her hair color.
She raised her hand and casually tucked a few strands of fiery red hair covering her left eye behind her ear, revealing her full face. Her wheat-colored skin glowed with health, and her features were deep and three-dimensional, especially those ruby-like eyes, which were dazzling. Her gaze was as sharp as a blade, yet carried a hint of careless laziness and scrutiny. Her brows possessed a natural, dashing heroism, which, combined with her tall, lithe figure and that fierce yet sexy black light armor, gave one the impression of a battle-hardened female general who had commanded thousands. However, there was also a deadly, untamable charm mixed into her temperament.
"A top-tier mature beauty!" Lin Muyang thought the moment he saw her. the young ladies he summoned each had their own merits, but someone like her, who combined "heroic dash" and "wild charm" so perfectly while exuding the aura of a formidable veteran, was truly rare. The Dragon Maiden Ao Qingyan was heroic, but her temperament leaned more toward the nobility and majesty of a divine beast; Elabess was pure charm and mature allure. This demon mature beauty had a unique style all her own.
At the same time, a brief information panel about this new partner automatically appeared before Lin Muyang:
γ Name: Mo Mingxue γ
γ Race: High Demon (Flame Demon Hybrid) γ
γ Class: Dual-Blade Demon Warrior γ
γ Level: 1 (Needs to re-adapt to the laws of this world, level reset) γ
γ Talent: SS-Rank Talent - Left-Right Combat (When dual-wielding weapons, all own attributes increase by 100%) γ
γ Profile: A powerful demon from the border between the "Molten Abyss" and the "Shadow Demon Realm," skilled in using dual blades, with fierce and unpredictable blade techniques. She is decisive, firm, extremely loyal to companions she recognizes, and ruthless to enemies. γ
"SS-Rank Talent Left-Right Combat, attributes doubled when dual-wielding... In her original world, this talent was indeed enough to make her a powerhouse, allowing her to survive and even stand out." Lin Muyang mused. An SS-Rank Talent was considered top-tier in most worlds. But given Lin Muyang's current vision and the talent level of the young ladies under his command, this talent seemed a bit ordinary, or at least had huge room for improvement. But that was fine; since she had been summoned by him and become his partner, he naturally had ways to evolve her talent and skyrocket her strength. It was just that, according to the order, the priority currently was to improve Su Qimeng so she could have the ability to handle things on her own as soon as possible.
"Mo Mingxue." Lin Muyang said her name in a calm voice. He stepped forward and naturally reached out, wanting to help this new partner stand completely steadyβeven though, looking at her, she didn't need it at all.
The playful curve of Mo Mingxue's lips deepened. She didn't hesitate or act coy at all, naturally extending her hand, which was wearing black fingerless tactical gloves, to grasp Lin Muyang's hand. Her hand was warm and strong, with calluses from long-term blade handling. After using his support to stand straight, she didn't let go immediately. Instead, she gripped his hand slightly, her ruby-like eyes unabashedly looking Lin Muyang up and down, as if evaluating the master who had summoned her from her original world.
"Not bad, it's me." She spoke, her voice slightly low and husky, carrying a unique magnetism, her tone lazy yet every word clear: "So, are you my master from now on?"
"You could say that." Lin Muyang smiled, ignoring her slightly scrutinizing gaze, let go of her hand, and turned to look at the other figure in the summoning circle that had just solidified completely. "And who is this?"
Following his gaze, everyone's eyes focused over.
Beside Mo Mingxue, the light faded, revealing a relatively smaller young lady. She seemed to have just woken up from the dizziness of slumber or teleportation, sitting on the ground somewhat blankly, one hand supporting the ground, the other rubbing her sleepy eyes.
She had neat short red hair, the color slightly darker than Mo Mingxue's fiery long hair, leaning towards wine red. The short hair reached just to her ears, revealing a fair neck and delicate ears. Her features were 60-70% similar to Mo Mingxue's, but the lines were softer, lacking some of the fierce heroism, and possessing more of a young girl's cuteness and liveliness.
She wore tight, dark red leather hunting gear, outlining a petite but perfectly proportioned, shockingly curvy figure. Especially the curve of her chest, which looked exceptionally magnificent against the tight hunting gear, creating a strong visual contrast with her relatively petite frame. On her back was a longbow with a simple design but emitting faint energy fluctuations, and in the quiver at her waist, a few arrows with dark red fletching were visible.
At this moment, she seemed still a bit dazed, shaking her head, trying to dispel the discomfort brought by the teleportation. When she fully opened her eyes, she revealed a pair of red eyes the same color as Mo Mingxue's, but clearer and brighter, with a hint of vigilance and curiosity about being in a new place.
Lin Muyang looked at her, and the information panel updated accordingly:
γ Name: Mo Yingmei γ
γ Race: High Demon (Flame Demon Hybrid) γ
γ Class: Demon Archer γ
γ Level: 1 (Needs to re-adapt to the laws of this world, level reset) γ
γ Talent: SS-Rank Talent - Hundred Steps Piercing the Willow (All ranged attacks (arrows, energy arrows, etc.) do not require aiming, 100% hit on designated targets within line of sight, with a 50% chance to automatically hit the target's weak point. Range increased by an additional 300%.) γ
γ Profile: Mo Mingxue's younger sister, an archery genius, possessing unparalleled dynamic vision and spatial awareness. Her personality is relatively simpler and more direct than her sister's. Occasionally a bit dazed, but extremely dependent on her sister. Calm and decisive during battle. γ
Sisters, indeed! And from the same world, the same race! Lin Muyang understood. Summoning related sisters in one go was a low-probability event; it seemed his luck was good this time. The older sister was a melee dual-blade warrior, the younger sister was a long-range Divine Archer; the class combination was very reasonable.
"Little Charm, awake?" Mo Mingxue looked at her younger sister, her tone much softer than when she spoke to Lin Muyang just now, but still carrying a faint, unique domineering air of an older sister. "How do you feel? There's some news that I don't know is good or badβit seems we've been summoned to another world."
As she spoke, she reached out again and pulled her still-dazed younger sister up from the ground.
Mo Yingmei stood steady with her sister's help, rubbed her still-throbbing temples, and then looked up, looking around blankly. When she saw so many young ladies of different styles, all incredibly beautiful, standing around, and Lin Muyang, who was surrounded by them and had a unique temperament, she was clearly stunned. Especially when her gaze met Lin Muyang's calm and gently smiling eyes, for some reason, the vigilance and anxiety she felt from suddenly arriving in a strange environment strangely dissipated for the most part, and instead, a natural sense of closeness arose.
"Is this... the place that summoned us?" Mo Yingmei whispered to herself, her voice crisp, carrying a young girl's vitality. She looked at Lin Muyang, tilted her head, and asked with inquiry in her eyes: "Are you... the Summoner?"
Lin Muyang nodded with a smile, his gaze sweeping over this pair of red-haired sisters who were different in style but equally eye-catching, and he already had a preliminary judgment of their personalities in his heart. The older sister, Mo Mingxue, appeared lazy and charming but was actually vigilant, decisive, and controlling, a leader-type figure in the team; the younger sister, Mo Yingmei, looked a bit dazed and cute, but her eyes were clear and firm. When it came to battle and professional fields, she would likely show a completely different calmness and focus, and she was highly dependent on her sister. Both of them, due to their demon status and living environment, maintained a sense of distance and caution toward the outside world, but the "Friend of Beautiful Girls" constitution, combined with the identity of the Summoner, made them naturally trust and feel close to Lin Muyang.
"Welcome to my world, Mo Mingxue, Mo Yingmei." Lin Muyang said gently, then looked at the slightly crowded villa hall and said apologetically: "However, there is a small problem now. I don't have enough rooms here for the time being, so you two sisters might have to squeeze into one room for a while. But don't worry, a new residence is already being built outside the city. Once it's finished, the space will be much more spacious."
Hearing Lin Muyang mention the outside, Mo Mingxue's originally lazy expression froze slightly, and a flash of sharpness crossed her red eyes. She took half a step forward, implicitly blocking her younger sister behind her by half a body length. Although the natural closeness she felt when facing Lin Muyang made it impossible for her to feel hostility, long-standing habits and survival instincts made her subconsciously raise her concerns.
"Master," she spoke, her tone a bit more formal than before, "although I am very grateful for your summoning, which allowed me and Little Charm to escape that dangerous world, but... there are some situations I must clarify. Little Charm and I are demons."
She paused, observing the reactions of Lin Muyang and the other young ladies around her, and continued: "In our original world, demons are existence despised by almost all righteous factions, and even hunted down on sight. We are used to hiding our identities and avoiding being hunted. If there is a similar situation here... it would be better for Little Charm and me not to go out easily. Otherwise, once our identities are exposed, it will not only bring death upon ourselves, but I fear it will also bring great trouble to you."
Mo Yingmei also nodded, a serious look appearing on her small face, and added: "Sister is right. Where we come from, once a demon's identity is discovered, it quickly attracts a large number of demon hunters, church knights, and various guys who claim to be righteous. They are very troublesome."
The sisters' tone was calm, but the habitual vigilance and helplessness revealed in their words made one vaguely feel the hardship of their survival in their original world.
However, upon hearing their words, before Lin Muyang could speak, the surrounding young ladies couldn't help but chuckle. Even Seraphina, who usually had a cold expression, had a faint curve at the corner of her mouth. Elabess even covered her mouth and laughed out loud, walking forward with a charming sway of her figure.
"Two new little sisters, relax~" Elabess's voice carried a magic that soothed the heart. She looked at the guarded demon sisters with a smile: "The situation you mentioned will absolutely not happen here, at least not with Master."
She extended her slender fingers, gently tapped her smooth forehead, and pointed to the other young ladies around: "Look at us, do you think we look like we would be chased by so-called righteous people or demon hunters?"
Mo Mingxue and Mo Yingmei heard this and began to look at the surrounding young ladies more carefully. Elves, dragonkin, fox-kin, as well as the Yama Maiden with her unfathomable aura, the Holy Light Angel, the Elementalist... they were of different races and possessed powerful auras, but without exception, they were all surrounded by Lin Muyang, their expressions relaxed and natural, completely lacking the restraint or humility of "the summoned" that they had imagined, but rather acting more like a harmonious big family.
Elabess continued to say with a smile: "This world is very different from your original world. At least here, beside Master, you don't need to worry about being persecuted or hunted because of your race. As for the outside world..."
She looked at Lin Muyang, and Lin Muyang nodded at her, signaling her to continue.
"As for the Blue Star human world," Elabess's tone carried a hint of arrogance, but mostly the calmness of stating facts: "Perhaps there are still some disputes and hostility, but those so-called demon hunters, churches? They don't exist. At least, no one, no force, dares to run in front of Master to shout and kill. In fact, not long ago, Master just sent a group of guys who thought they were very strong and wanted to be detrimental to Master to meet the gods they believe in."
Her words were light, but the information contained in them made the Mo Mingxue sisters shocked. Sending a group of powerhouses to meet the gods? The weight of these words was not light.
Lin Muyang also spoke at this time, his tone flat but carrying unquestionable confidence: "Mo Mingxue, Mo Yingmei, since I have summoned you here, I will naturally be responsible for you. Here, you are my partners, my combat power. As long as you follow the rules here and do not actively do evil, then no one can harm you because of your race. Since I dared to summon you to this world, I have the ability and the confidence to protect you."
He paused, looked at the sisters' still-hesitant eyes, smiled, and said in a more relaxed tone: "And, you might have a slight misunderstanding about safety. In this world, at present, there are not many things that pose a threat to me and the people around me. As for the identity problem you are worried about... Heh, perhaps not long from now, it will be others who should worry about whether they will be hunted down after their identities are exposed."
These words were a bit arrogant, but coming from Lin Muyang, who had just experienced a battle of counter-killing and subjugation, they carried a sense of natural confidence. The Jia Mei Empire's carefully planned ambush had failed, and they had even lost two top generals. In the short term, on a global scale, what other forces with open eyes would dare to pull the whiskers of Lin Muyang's tiger?
Mo Mingxue and Mo Yingmei looked at each other and saw surprise and a hint of loosening in each other's eyes. They could feel the strong confidence in Lin Muyang's words, and they could also feel the heartfelt trust and closeness that the other young ladies around had for Lin Muyang. Moreover, that natural sense of closeness was constantly affecting them, making them subconsciously willing to believe Lin Muyang's words.
"So... really no one here will hunt down demons?" Mo Yingmei blinked her beautiful red eyes, still asking somewhat unsurely, but her tone had already loosened.
"Of course." Lin Muyang answered affirmatively.
