The fated meeting

Leaving Felix to his business, both Eliza and Sophia walked in the same direction with an unspoken understanding. 

After a while when both of them felt that they were far away from the palace to be alone, they looked at each other straight without speaking. 

Despite how they held a smile on their face sparks were visibly flying where their gazes met. 

This was because both of them knew that in gaining Felix's affection, the other one was their biggest competitor. 

After a long staring contest, it was Sophia who spoke first.

"You must be Eliza. I've heard so little about you."

Hearing what she said Eliza barely kept her lips from twitching and raining down curses on Sophia who was acting sly. 

"At least you know who I am. But I don't know who you are."

"Me? I'm Felix's Head Queen, Sophia."

"Pfft! Head Queen? You must've been called that because I wasn't here."

"Indeed it might be because you left husband for so long to go on your own self centred journey."

Not disagreeing with Eliza, Sophia nodded her head. 

"Oh please, what do you even know about me?"

"I know enough to understand how much of a horny slut you are."

"Excuse me."

Acting oblivious to Eliza's narrowed eyes and frosty tone, Sophia continued in her own pace. 

"What? If not a horny slit what else would I call a woman like you, who ignores husband and goes on an adventure to sleep with other women?"

"My husband is too kind to not reveal how he truly feels about you and your slutty adventures. But I'm not."

"If all you want are women, I've trained a few hundred of them to work as maids inside the palace. You can even handpick a few of them if you want to. So what reason will you use to go on another adventure?"

Saying so Sophia turned around and left leaving Eliza in her own thoughts. 

Was she really a selfish woman to have left Felix behind to do what she wanted, while he waited for her to come back? 

But it wasn't like she slept with other men and cheated on him. However, was Felix really hiding how he truly felt about her and her adventure? 

On the other hand, Sophia could've not said anything and just let Eliza go on a few more adventures like she wanted to, until Felix finally couldn't take it anymore. 

And that was indeed her original plan. 

But after she saw how Felix loved and appreciated Eliza, she thought and did what she would be in the best interest for him. 

Sighing and shaking her head at how kind she was, Sophia started skipping on her feet and raced back to Felix. 

Even after Sophia left, for a long time Eliza just stood there not knowing what to do or even think. 

Should she give up her new hobby of having sex with women? If that's what Felix wanted then she wouldn't mind doing it. 

Still, Eliza felt a need to talk with Felix before making her decision. 

... 

On the other side, Felix had just started conversing with the two new women. 

"The two of you came here for different reasons right?"

"You came here to see if I'm a good enough husband material."

"As for you, you came to see if I have enough Yang for you to devour and grow stronger."

Saying so Felix pointed at the hunter and snake lady respectively. 

"Originally, after seeing how that fox and the other woman acted, I thought that you'd look huge and burly. But in fact, you're many times younger than I thought."

"But you're right, I came here to see if you are a man worthy of me marrying. And after having seen the women around you, and the treasures you possess. I don't have any problem in marrying you."

"I know that your name is Felix, but I'm sure you don't know my name. My name is Athena. Are you willing to marry me?"

And just like that Felix and Athena came to a mutual understanding of marrying each other. 

While there was no love in between the two of them, love wasn't always needed for two individuals to marry. 

In this situation, Athena wanted to marry a man that she found worthy, and Felix agreed to marry her as she was beautiful, and according to the system one of his Nine Imperial Queens. 

"Well, that's one down. So what about you, have you come to a decision?"

"What decision?"

Smiling as if he had seen through her, Felix said, "Have you decided whether you want to kill me and try to escape. Or rather submit to me?"

"I am indeed a little curious. So tell me how you managed to subdue that fox around your neck?"

"With my big dick."

"Not modest at all, I see."

Neither of them said anything while the snake lady kept on thinking. 

"Let me guess, you are trying to guess if I'd let you leave this place in case you reject me. Right?"

Instantly panic struck, the snake lady's eyes turned serious and vigilant. 

"Calm down, I don't plan on forcing you to stay back, because I have something better to offer you."

While she didn't say anything, Felix continued. 

"You need high-quality Yang energy to increase your talent, don't you? So why not just submit to me? You should've already sensed the Yang energy coming from me. So instead of dying while trying to devour me, wouldn't it be better to make a deal for lifetime."

"I'd provide you with a regular supply of Yang energy straight into your pussy for the rest of your life whenever I fuck you. And instead, you should just live your life as one of my loyal pets."

"How about it?"

Hearing Felix's words sounded like the devil's whisper to the snake woman. 

Indeed the benefits weren't bad, instead they were quite good. And given how a golden tailed fox was following him, what would be so wrong with her following him as well?

If anything she could take the fox's advice to grow stronger faster as well.

"Fine. I agree."

As she said those words Felix received the notification that he completed the second mission as well.

Similarly, Felix finally understood what that woman Amber said to him about words being enough for everything. Because all he did was use his words correctly given the situation, and he obtained two women with terrifying potential. 

At the same time, he wondered about why he never saw Amber anywhere inside the brothel ever again after that day.

"So tell me your name, my obedient pet."

"Its Sylvia Shaffer… Master."

Sylvia who stopped added the suffix word 'Master', after Maria's voice appeared behind her ears and hunted her at it.
