The fog dissipates.
The crimson knight's longsword and the gleaming golden holy lance were stuck together, the winged helmet and the icy beauty were close to each other, almost touching, but there was no romance between them, only danger lurking everywhere.
"Show your true strength."
A cold, hard voice drifted by, heard only by Zhuang Sen, who was right next to him. The next moment, the force from the crimson longsword suddenly decreased, and the spear immediately pressed him down. Zhuang Sen, who was holding the spear, naturally leaned forward as well. What awaited him was not victory, but a heavy punch.
boom!
The rune plate armor withstood the dangerous sneak attack squarely, easily deflecting a blow powerful enough to pierce steel and shatter the earth. Zhuang Sen only felt a faint, almost caress-like impact. He grinned, grabbed the tip of the Holy Lance with his left hand, and swung it forcefully, sending the spearhead slicing towards Serafina's pale neck.
"As you wish, sister."
Is it okay to call my wife's sister "sister"?
Zhuang Sen was overjoyed, but he didn't notice the unusual flame that ignited in Serafina's crimson pupils. The spearhead sliced through the air, penetrating the wall of flames with a sharp, piercing sound like fingernails scraping glass. Sensing something was wrong, Zhuang Sen slid the spear back with his left hand, while his right hand pushed the shaft forward with all his might, but it wouldn't penetrate.
The shaft of the spear arched upwards, indicating that the summoned holy spear was a condensation of divine energy with astonishing resilience. Any other proper spear would have broken and shattered long ago at such a bending angle.
The flames subsided.
Her stunning beauty was covered in dragon scales. Serafina, now a little dragon, wielded her longsword, and crimson dragon flames spiraled up and clung to it, illuminating the delicate white marks on the dragon scales.
"To make me use [Dragon Human Form] in the first round, it seems you have some skill. But that's not enough to be with my sister. Come on, let me see your full power!"
“No need to repeat this.” Zhuang Sen said softly, as snow-white wings appeared behind him, then were plated with golden light, and a halo lit up above his head, shining with a holy and majestic light. Even Zhuang Sen’s voice seemed to become sacred. “Then so be it!”
[With God], [Wrath of Justice], [Holy Fanaticism], [Heart of an Angel], [Holy Flame of Judgment], [Legend of a Hero], [Great Oath], [Eye of Judgment]...
All attributes are boosted, all resistances are boosted, Willpower and Speed are greatly increased, immunity to darkness, curses, and negative effects is granted, attacks inflict holy and fire damage, a legendary ability from a random hero is gained, and critical hit rate is greatly increased...
Layers of light overlapped on Zhuang Sen's body, each ray strengthening him and interacting with each other to elevate his already formidable power to an even more extraordinary level. This caused Serafina, who had been full of fighting spirit, to suddenly lose interest in the fight.
But it was only for a moment. The red dragon, whose nature was actually warlike, ignited an even more intense flame in its eyes and took the initiative to attack Zhuang Sen with its sword! The crimson longsword, wrapped in dragon flames, scorched the air. Before the blade arrived, the flame-colored air blade had already collided with the intercepting holy spear, causing it to deflect slightly. Seizing the opportunity, Serafina did not hesitate to step forward and rush over the spearhead, slashing her sword back at Zhuang Sen's neck.
The dragon flames roared, casting a shadow on Zhuang Sen's face, but the holy light spear, which had suddenly retracted, plunged into the fire, shining brightly, dispelling the shadow, blocking the longsword, and directly repelling Serafina.
The difference in strength is too great.
Serafina silently rubbed her aching wrist, then looked at Zhuang Sen, who was putting away his gun. Zhuang Sen shook his head: "It seems that's all the Red Dragon has to offer. Let's leave it at that."
The spectators in the stands were still immersed in the thrilling and suspenseful exchanges they had just witnessed. Seeing Zhuang Sen separate from Serafina and then utter such words, they all found it quite strange and exciting. However, many more "knowledgeable" people expressed a different opinion with certainty, saying, "It's normal for Her Highness the Crown Princess to be at a disadvantage against the Earl, who has already used his Bloodline True Form, since she hasn't even used it!"
As if in response to this statement, Serafina suddenly plunged her longsword into the shattered ground of the arena. Crimson dragon flames reappeared, coiling around her and entwining with the air, spreading infinitely outward to outline a huge, ferocious, majestic, and terrifying silhouette!
Red Dragon!
"Interesting. Let me see your full strength then."
Zhuang Sen spread his wings and flew into the sky, disappearing from everyone's sight. Everyone was at a loss until a ray of starlight appeared in their sight and rapidly grew larger.
【Holy Lance: Starfall】!
The spear falling from the sky elicited gasps, and its precise aim at Serafina filled the onlookers, who had only intended to enjoy a duel, with immense panic! They didn't want to be the unfortunate ones who witnessed the High Princess's death!
Indeed, given the straightforward and brutal numerical values of [Holy Lance: Starfall], many onlookers who just moments ago thought the Red Dragon Princess would instantly kill Zhuang Sen now unanimously agree that the Princess is doomed to lose.
That was the kind of shock that one cannot refute or refuse when witnessing something falling from the sky, witnessing a dazzling golden meteor!
Then, a majestic, ferocious, and supremely fiery roar suddenly resounded: "Roar!!!"
A colossal dragon, tens of meters long, soared into the sky. Its fiery red scales swallowed the sunlight, and its menacing thorns pierced the sky like sharp swords. Majestic and beautiful, the dragon's head, both terrifying and alluring, rose high. Its strong and powerful limbs shattered the ground as it leaped into the air. Its enormous wings summoned a gale, sending this seemingly perfect yet ferocious body soaring into the heavens.
The audience suddenly didn't know who would win.
But nobody cared about them.
The next second, the meteor collided with the dragon.
After a moment of silence, the dragon broke through the golden starlight and soared into the clouds, its roar echoing through the sky. The onlookers began a heated debate, and under the deliberate guidance of the "knowledgeable," the argument that "the Earl's strongest ability couldn't defeat Her Highness the Princess" gained the upper hand, and was considered reasonable and well-founded.
Basic objectives have been achieved.
And in the sky, Zhuang Sen once again hurled the Holy Lance—[Holy Lance - Guaranteed Hit]!
The red dragon's hard scales shattered, and its flesh tore open, but the crimson dragon flames also angrily fell on Zhuang Sen, burning the rune plate armor red-hot and scorching Zhuang Sen's flesh.
The battle is still undecided—but it will be soon.
“I’m in a hurry to get back to my wives, so this is the last time, sister.” Zhuang Sen raised the Holy Lance and threw it forward. The golden light was so real that even the clouds could not completely obscure it. It seemed to contain a kind of anger, a silent punishment from above, as if it were a divine retribution!
【Holy Lance - Divine Punishment】!
Compared to the convenience of [Holy Lance - Guaranteed Hit], the absolute power of [Holy Lance - Starfall] is absolute destruction, absolute purification, and absolute death!
Serafina's scales stood on end as if bristling. She keenly sensed a violent premonition of danger, a danger that could endanger her life, but the red dragon was never afraid!
She roared, and the crimson dragon flames were no longer confined to her snout and limbs, but quickly covered her entire body, transforming her into a true "fire dragon!"
【Burning Dragon】!
【Holy Lance - Divine Punishment】!
A deafening shockwave swept across the sky, dispersing the surrounding clouds. The crimson dragon flames vanished instantly, and golden light disappeared into the sky. High above, the onlookers couldn't see the outcome clearly, but it didn't affect the pre-arranged conclusion. Only the two combatants knew what had happened.
When the divine wrath brushed past the burning dragon, with just a single scale touching it, the red dragon was utterly defeated, even losing control of its body. The raging fury vanished in an instant, leaving only the forced fear and emptiness that had been crammed into it, before it fell to the earth.
Fortunately, Zhuang Sen had been holding back and didn't have any problems using [Holy Lance - Divine Punishment]. He immediately accelerated and approached, casting [Heal] and [Purify] on Serafina.
"Is this alright now, sister?" Zhuang Sen grinned. "But remember to act like you're the more capable one in front of outsiders later. You don't exactly have that rigid, honest chivalrous spirit, do you?"
"The primary spirit of a knight should be loyalty, not honesty," Serafina said, but in her dragon form she could only let out a low growl, which, by a twist of fate, deepened her illusion of victory.
For Serafina, it was a fair victory, especially since... her crimson dragon eyes shifted slightly as she looked at Zhuang Sen, who was focused on applying [healing] to her, and heard him calling her "sister" repeatedly. Suddenly, the cold red dragon felt that being defeated wasn't so bad, and her mood inexplicably improved.
After all, he's my own brother, so he's not an outsider.
However, this lazy personality is no good. Relying too much on schemes and tricks, and fighting too straightforwardly, it's a waste that he has such great strength and wisdom but hasn't combined them to achieve a greater effect. The harm this does to teenagers is immeasurable.
As the older sister, she had to correct her younger brother's bad habits, and this was also for... for Celine. Being too lazy, even with great strength, could lead to mistakes due to negligence.
……
The atmosphere at the banquet after the battle was relatively harmonious. The onlookers wisely refrained from inquiring about who won or lost, and instead enthusiastically discussed the previous war. The undead marshal Lydia's human cannon, the rune artist Nia's miraculous creations, and of course, the miraculous deeds of the white bear slayer and ice-wind killer, Zhuang Sen, all left Serafina, who maintained her stern expression, feeling quite bewildered. She had fought many battles, both domestic and foreign, but she had never seen anything like throwing herself out of the city with a catapult and openly seducing and turning an enemy general against his cause.
Not to mention Nia's rune items, which were a major reason for her visit, and the obvious one at that. Moreover, although Johnson's rune plate armor advertisement failed to go through—the general public couldn't see it at all—Seraphina had personally experienced it.
So she listened with great interest, and it wasn't until Celine subtly reminded her several times that she finally reacted and reluctantly said, "Zhuang Sen, I want to mediate the conflict between you and Falau."
Zhuang Sen breathed a sigh of relief after almost finishing speaking with the lords, but anger flashed across his face: "Princess Serafina, I think this conflict has nothing to do with you, and you are not my lord."
Hearing Zhuang Sen's serious and distant address, Serafina no longer needed to feign her dissatisfaction: "I come in the name of the royal family and as a relative of the Farau family. Earl Zhuang Sen, you have already seized the most prosperous land in the Farau territory. I think this is enough to make up for the untimely and unsuccessful schemes and plots that some scoundrels in the Farau family made against your mother."
The atmosphere turned cold again, just as expected.

Chapter 232: The Overbearing Eldest Princess, Different Sisters
The atmosphere in the banquet hall of Golden Swan Castle suddenly turned cold. Johnson looked at Serafina with displeasure, giving the impression that if Celine hadn't been holding his hand, he might have kicked her out. Naturally, no one dared to provoke him. But Serafina's aura was equally imposing; the cold beauty was like an iceberg at sea, inspiring both fear and apprehension in everyone. Naturally, no one dared to object to her request, and they could only all look down at the floor.
Ugh, this floor is really terrible!
After a moment of silence, Zhuang Sen, reassured by Celine, spoke again: "Your Highness, it's not impossible for me to reconcile with the Farau family, but they will have to give up more."
Serafina's performance was a bit stiff, but since she had a blank expression, no one noticed: "I'll say it again, you've already received enough compensation, Earl Johnson."
The increasingly assertive dialogue gradually made the onlookers understand Serafina's "true intentions." She was not entirely trying to win over the Farau family, but rather to limit Zhuang Sen and restrict the continued growth of the Leon Territory!
Zhuang Sen timely feigned anger, stood up, and stormed off: "Is that so? Then I hope the Falau family is as confident as you, Your Highness."
Serafina also stood up and said coldly, "I think they will, and so will Earl Johnson. The new equipment I ordered should be ready."
Zhuang Sen paused, then continued, "Once you have enough gold coins, the equipment will be ready."
After saying that, Zhuang Sen left the banquet hall. Celine, who was really into her role as a drama queen, stomped her foot on the spot and then quickly chased after Zhuang Sen. This made Serafina frown slightly. Why did she feel that Celine wasn't acting? But the situation obviously didn't allow her to chase after him, so she left the banquet hall in another direction.
The welcome banquet ended unhappily, but rumors had already spread like wildfire beforehand. With Zhuang Sen's premeditated instigation and the efforts of the Dark Guard, the Kingdom's intelligence organization, and even the Bloodline Cult, the rumors quickly took hold.
……
Inside Swan Castle, Johnson and Serafina, who had left from different directions, reunited. The atmosphere was noticeably more harmonious. Johnson stopped posing and sat lazily in a chair. Dantalian, Nia, Hana, Lydia, Lysander, Piper, Bessie, and Lilith casually squeezed on either side of him, but the closest one was Serin, who snuggled directly into his arms.
Although it hadn't actually been that long, Celine, deeply in love, couldn't suppress her impulses. Since Serafina couldn't beat Johnson anyway, could she drag her out for a spanking again? Ah~ the taste of Johnson~
Serafina sat opposite Zhuang Sen, looking at Celine's embarrassing appearance, and felt somewhat ashamed: "Celine, what kind of behavior is this?"
"Oh dear, there's no one else here." Celine had no intention of getting up; instead, she snuggled even tighter into Zhuang Sen's arms. Hmm, while little Zhuang Sen was great, this tall guy was nice too~
Seeing that his sister-in-law was about to argue with Celine, Zhuang Sen had no choice but to smooth things over and change the subject, saying, "Your Highness Serafina, the rune equipment is all ready and is located in Deherim City. However, considering the plan, you'll have to go and retrieve it yourself. Also, the abilities of this equipment have a limited number of uses, so you can't use them indiscriminately..."
When it came to serious matters, Serafina reluctantly let Celine off the hook: "I understand, but what about those Bloodline Cult members you mentioned?"
“Speaking of which,” Zhuang Sen snapped his fingers, and Nia, who was whispering and laughing with Hana, took out a pre-prepared [Shared Page] from her bosom. “I will pass on specific information about the Bloodline Cult to you through this, so as to minimize the risk of information leaks.”
Serafina glanced at the pristine white paper in front of her, her eyes sharpening. She remembered seeing Celine carrying similar papers frequently before; she had assumed Celine was simply studying, but now it seemed…
"Aren't you finished yet?" Celine muttered softly, rubbing her cheek against Zhuang Sen's chest. "Zhuang Sen~"
Celine's voice was so sweet it was almost cloying; simply being held wasn't enough for her. Smelling Zhuang Sen's scent and feeling his strong muscles against her skin, she felt an unbearable itch in both body and soul. The eldest princess, focused solely on killing, didn't understand the implication in Celine's words, but Zhuang Sen and Dantalian certainly noticed Celine's state and gave her mysterious smiles. Zhuang Sen helplessly pinched the red dragon's cheek: "You..."
"Hmph~ Hurry up~"
Amid Celine's coquettish reproach, Zhuang Sen glanced at Serafina, and realizing there was nothing else of importance, politely withdrew: "Well then, Your Highness Serafina, let's proceed as planned. It would be best if we saw each other less often until then."
Serafina watched as Zhuang Sen stood up, and she followed suit: "I understand. Then I'll leave Celine in your care. But don't spoil her too much, and don't pamper her when she needs discipline."
Normally, Celine would have given Serafina a real dressing down for speaking ill of her, but right now she just wanted to get to Johnson's room as soon as possible, so she simply nodded and pushed Johnson away from the small living room.
Naturally, Dantalian and the others followed. Although Celine was reunited after a long separation, she couldn't withstand Johnson's attack, and in the end, everyone had to join forces.
Oh, except for Lysander and Piper.
The two unfortunate sisters caught up with Johnson, but Lysander, looking at Piper in her arms, bit her lip and stopped outside the door, waiting for someone to come out and help her take care of the child after they were satisfied. Piper, feeling Lysander's two slender arms tightly holding her, was speechless.
Although she used to be an innocent and adorable little fool, after absorbing the inherited knowledge of the Dog Girl King, she has become a qualified monster girl. Besides, she has Rem, her "same-age" playmate, and she also wants to squeeze money out of her brother Zhuang Sen! Sister, you won't eat it yourself, but you won't let me eat it either, that's too much!
However, Piper knew that Lysander and Johnson meant well, so she didn't really hold any resentment. But she really couldn't hold back anymore; she had to persuade Lysander today! The dog-girl queen, having made up her mind, looked up at the centaur girl with a melancholy expression: "Sister, if you want to see the scenery, can you let me go? I want to go in and squeeze Johnson."
Lysander's melancholy vanished instantly: "Piper? Who told you such a thing!"
Piper's little face was full of melancholy: "Sister, I awakened my bloodline at the same time as you. What you know, I know too, although the details may be different."
There are quite a few differences between centaur girls and dog girls.
Lysander didn't understand Piper's meaning at first, but she wasn't as clueless as Lyme, and quickly realized what she meant. Her delicate face flushed red: "P-Pipper?!"
Piper placed her little hand on Lysander's hands, which were wrapped around her belly, and said earnestly, "So, sister, can I go in now?"
But Lysander shook her head: "No, no, even if you knew, you're too young, so it won't work. But since you know, I don't need to hide it from you anymore. Be good, I'll be back soon."
Before she could finish speaking, Lysander had already placed Piper in the hallway, then rushed into Johnson's room and locked the door from the inside. Piper didn't react until the sound of the lock clicking shut.
—The centaur girl's speed is still noteworthy.
Wow, what kind of older sister is this, eating all the food by herself!
And they even let their younger sister listen in from outside!
Although she had matured slightly due to her inheritance and had learned some strange knowledge in advance, Piper was still just a ten-year-old little girl. She was greatly shocked by the shameless behavior of the despicable adult and had no way to fight back. She could only pout and sit in the corridor, cursing her dear sister in a low voice: "Hmph, you bad guy, I curse you to only be able to push other sisters' butts, I curse you to last even less than Nia, I curse you... Waaah."
The heartbroken little girl didn't notice that at the corner of the corridor leading to what used to be Lilith's room, now Johnson's room, an embarrassed older woman was turning away.
Serafina only sensed that something was wrong with Celine and, as her older sister, wanted to check on her, but she never expected to hear such shocking news. It turned out that Celine wasn't unwell, but rather in a hurry to be with Johnson… and not only Celine, but also Grand Duke Starr's two adopted daughters…
Serafina shook her head vigorously and left silently.
Chapter 233: The Fountain of Youth, Let's Start Scoring!
Lysander entered the room, quickly locked the door to prevent her little sister from sneaking in and getting in the way, and then looked at the luxurious bed that matched the room's size, and unsurprisingly saw an extremely beautiful and alluring scene.
With a robust and handsome physique, influenced by angelic blood, Zhuang Sen exuded an even more holy and majestic aura. Naked, he pressed down on Celine, whose princess dress was half-undone, revealing her fair skin. In their beautiful embrace, the mighty holy spear pierced through the fiery red forest, penetrating the princess's tender flower, bringing forth a stream of flowing water.
"Mmm~ Zhuang Sen~ So full~ Mmm~"
The princess's jade-like hands tightly encircled Zhuang Sen's waist, and her fine lace gloves caressed Zhuang Sen's perfect muscles. The delicate touch made both of them feel extremely happy, and they increased their speed even more.
After locking the door, Lisander looked at Celine and, as usual, teased her, "I never imagined that Your Highness was so wanton. You even abandoned your sister when you saw my man and offered yourself up to bed."
As they were talking, Lisander, who had been constantly nagged by her sister these past few days, kicked off her boots, climbed onto the bed, and crawled behind Johnson like a cat, hugging him.
"Where's Piper?" Johnson asked Lysander, while his large hand covered Celine's breasts, skillfully teasing the cherries on her snowy peaks, using pleasure to stop Celine from retorting and prevent the two from arguing again.
Lysander made no attempt to hide anything. With Nia's help as she approached, she unbuttoned her dress and recounted her conversation with Piper. Johnson listened, speechless for a moment: "Such a precocious child, doesn't he know how old he is?"
“Exactly.” Lysander took off her top, and her snow-white breasts, freed from the constraints of the fabric, bounced and landed on Zhuang Sen’s back. As Lysander slowly increased the pressure, they were gradually pressed into flat, round mounds, making maximum contact with Zhuang Sen’s skin, and her nipples stood erect.
