Even as it's muscles tensed, veins throbbing beneath it's fur as it tried to move, it still remained frozen like a statue. Its inability to retaliate, made the demon even more enraged but he still couldn't do anything about it.

Zhen Qi stepped out from behind a stack of hay, her cold gaze landed on the three fox demoness's for a brief moment, filled with hints of frustration, but soon moved towards the dark sphere in the far end of the barn, before finally landing on the immobile Dark demonic wolf.

She had been here for awhile now, up to the moment Ming Yao had entered the barn, after all, she had secretly followed her here hoping the master would still be in the midst of leveling up while the unstable demon would use the opportunity to vent out on her.

What she didn't expect was that just now, she saw the dark sphere tremble, as if, if the demon had actually harmed them, he would've risked being severely damaged and stop the Lvl up, mid way, just to save the three of them.

Zhen Qi felt displeased and frustrated that he held the three of them in such high regard. She didn't want him to fail, so against her will, she decided to step in and stop this whole charade from escalating any further.

" Did you forget the master rules already?"

" Shut up! I was just trying to protect the master, your bitch, you have no right to harm me. The master was the one who entrusted me to guard him, I was just doing my duties." The Dark demonic wolf sneered while lying through its teeth.

It knew it couldn't escape since for some reason, this demoness before it, was capable of holding him down, but if he were to voice the situation like this, he felt like the demoness had to think carefully before acting, because it wouldn't look good for one of the masters precious direct subordinates, to break his own rules just hours after being promoted.

" You foolish little dog, Think you can just threaten me and walk away unscathed." The Dark demonic wolf trembled when he sensed a menacing aura suddenly surge out from Zhen Qi's body.

" H-How is this possible?! You actually broke through to Lvl 2 rare tier in just a few days?!" The demons eyes widened in shock, even Yu Wang who had had a brief interaction with her prior was left dumbfounded.

Zhen Qi's ominous expression didn't change but inwardly she was proud of herself. Thanks to the single Evolution pill she had received from the master, her bloodline had changed from Lesser Succubus to an actual Succubus. Her hooved feet were no where to be seen, now replaced by long, fair and slender legs.

Moreover, her figure, beauty and body had become even more seductive and voracious, any normal man who stole a glance at her would have their mouth watering. Just a glance of her sexy waist would instantly cause ones third leg to be rejuvenated with excess energy.

Before the Dark demonic wolf could react, Zhen Qi formed a strange symbol with her hand, before striking the demons body.

[E class skill: Binding charm]

A strange, demonic mark suddenly emerged on the Dark demonic wolfs inner thigh. The next moment, the once rowdy demon, seemed to have taken a 180 degree turn in demeanor, it's eyes calmed down, replaced by a fawning expression.

" Mistress, you look extremely beautiful today." It said with a strange tone filled with overwhelming affection.

Ming Yao, Ning An, Yang Lan and Yu Wang were stunned, not expecting such a scene to occur.

Zhen Qi on the other hand, was satisfied, seeing that her skill worked perfectly. This was a new skill she unlocked after evolving into a real succubus.

Binding charm was a skill that allowed her to place a control imprint on others weaker than her, allowing her to manipulate them to her hearts content. In turn, those marked, would be greatly loyal to her but the off side of the skill was that she could only control 3 people with strength at the Lvl 2 elite tier, for a temporary amount of time, with her Lvl of strength, the skill was a bloodline skill, meaning it would advance with her the more her power grew.

" The three of them are the masters direct subordinates, let them through." said Zhen Qi.

" Of course mistress." Replied the Lvl 2 demon.

" Sisters I'm so sorry for attacking you just now, I hope you can forgive me." the three fox demoness's didn't expect the demon to suddenly apologize to them, the scene itself felt surreal, considering that he was itching to murder them moments ago.

Now that the matter was settled, Zhen Qi took one glance at the three fox demoness's before scoffing with disdain, then leaving. Ning An, Yang Lan and Ming Yao were amazed by the demoness's power but seeing her obvious displeasure towards them, they glared at her.

" Please do try to forgive her, Lady Zhen Qi hasn't been all that calm ever since the master proposed breaking apart the direct subordinates into two parts." Yu Wang who desperately wanted to make amends, spoke up.

Seeing the three fox demoness's confused expressions, Yu Wang knew that they must not know about what happened that day. He then told them everything that happened after the master brought him and his pack back to the base.

" The master actually wanted to instate such a notion?" Said Yang Lan in surprise, she didn't believe that the master held them in such high regard. Ning An's expression was filled with satisfaction and glee but Ming Yao on the other hand, had a troubled look on her face.

" I don't think this is a good thing." Said Ming Yao.

" Sister Ming Yao what ever could you mean. Isn't it great that the master values us so highly?" Ning An who was feeling proud cocked a confused expression, not understanding what her sister was talking about. Even Yang Lan displayed a confused look.

" It's because of he values us so highly that this could become troublesome. Let's not forget that we demons would never allow someone weak to suppress us. I'm sure that even if we can't see it. There are several demon's who are in disapproval towards the masters wishes but don't dare voice there opinions. What do you think would happen if that unchecked displeasure was left to brew on its own for a long time."

" It would turn into hatred. Having all those Lvl 2 demons plotting to get rid of us would only put us at a constant disadvantage." At this point, Ming Yao looked saddened and frustrated. Their weakness once again, was forcing them into a difficult corner.

" Then what do you suppose we do sister? Should we plead with the master to revoke his decision." Yang Lan suggested, her face now deeply worried. She was but a simple Lvl 1 Rare demons, how could she stand to be plotted against by several higher leveled demons, not to mention that succubus.

At the thought of Zhen Qi, Yang Lan's expression turned even more worried. It was obvious she was vying for the masters attention as well, demons were naturally territorial beings. Yang Lan didn't need to think twice to know that Zhen Qi naturally harboured some resentment towards them as well.

" Can you hear yourself, plead with the master to revoke his decision? Are you really that afraid of them." Ning An suddenly spoke up, her expression fierce as she rebuked Yang Lan.

" But sister Ning An..." Yang Lan wanted to speak but under Ning An's betrayed glare she couldn't say a thing.

' Poor things... This is no different than chancing upon a horde of treasure but without the strength to guard it.' Thought Yu Wang as he stared at the fox demoness's. The situation reminded him of how he had lost his pack to Su Ping.

' In the end, this is the Abyss, the strong can do as they please while the weak can only endure.' Yu Wang sighed.

" Yang Lan, Ning An is right." Ming Yao suddenly spoke up, attracting both their attention.

" We promised the master we'd bear him his army, did we not." She said with a light smile.

' Wait what? Did the master actually agree to that?! If so then no wonder he values them so much.'

' The others no matter how much they try will only be no more than concubines! These three are the masters main interest.' Yu Wang's expression was in disbelief. Not expecting such an outcome.

If the master really agreed to such a thing, then didn't that mean that no matter how angry or displeased the rest were, they wouldn't dare to harm them, well openly anyway.

No matter what, The master couldn't watch them all the time, but still, with this, they could be said to be the masters most trusted subordinates.

" Sister Ming Yao..."

" If we have to deal with their constant evil plans, we'll just have to get strong enough, strong enough so that they won't even dare to think of glaring at us." Ming Yao couldn't help but think of Zhen Qi, her features burning with determination.
