Feet washing wasn’t a miserable or difficult task, especially when one was holding a pair of smooth and delicate feet in his hands. Instead, it was an enjoyment. Mag recalled how those girls back on Earth had massaged him, and tried to make himself look more professional.

  Maybe it was due to the warm water temperature, or maybe the pair of hands that were massaging her was a little naughty, but a blush appeared on Irina’s face, and beads of sweat also appeared on her nose.

  Irina gazed at Mag as some tender feelings rippled through her heart. The hands that were holding her feet were so gentle and strong, and almost hotter than water temperature. They felt numb and electrifying when they caressed her skin. It made her want to escape and yet immersed in it.

  “Alright. Let’s add in some more hot water and soak for a while longer.” After massaging her feet for some time, Mag released them and lifted them out of the water gently before adding in some more hot water to maintain the water temperature at a comfortable and soothing temperature.

  “Is it over?” Irina regained her wits from the relaxation. Her whole body felt relaxed after she placed her feet in the warm water. It felt even more comfortable than being caressed by the life magic.

  “Little Amy, it’s time to wash your feet now.” Mag held Amy’s little feet which were about twice or thrice as long as his thumbs. They were soft and fair and not suitable for massaging. Hence, after cleaning them, he let her feet soak in the water again comfortably.

  The scent of roses filled the room while the family of three and a cat huddled together, watching

  and laughing away.

  “If the Bartoli Family doesn’t want to lose another son, they’d better stop trying to make me marry again. Otherwise, I will use my own methods to stop this matrimonial alliance!” Camilla said in a cold and determined voice to a tall and thin vampire sitting on a platform while standing in the middle of a dark castle’s hall.

  The wall lamps were flickering with red light, and wind was blowing in through the small windows. They were as eerie as the blood in the crystal wine glass that the vampire sitting on the platform was swirling in his hand.

  The vampire stopped swirling his wine glass, and fixed his blue eyes on Camilla. Apologetic, he said, “Camilla, you know the Bartoli is the most powerful family in the vampire tribe. They even have an ancestor in their clan. If you refused to marry Noak, the Bartoli Family would join the pro-war fraction, and the vampire tribe would fall apart. We wouldn’t be able to keep our status as part of the Top Ten Clans.”


  “So, you want to make me marry again so you could maintain your laughable face and status? Ha, Father, have you forgotten about the promise that you made when you forced me to marry Noxis then? Apart from being a tool for making matrimonial alliances, what am I to you?” Camilla said with a sarcastic expression to her father, the chief of the vampire tribe, Maynard.

  An unnatural expression flashed across the face of Maynard. After a moment of silence, he continued, “You know both Noxis and Noak fancied you then. Noxis had died accidentally, and Noak is already the sole heir of the Bartoli Family. You will receive the support of both the Bartolis and our family if you marry him. Perhaps you will even become the first queen regnant of the vampire clan.”


  “So, I will become a queen through the deaths of my husbands?” Camilla’s expression became more and more sarcastic.

  “You know, sometimes we have to sacrifice something before we can achieve what we want.”


  “I don’t want to be sacrificed twice.” A pair of wings appeared behind Camilla’s back. She spread them and flew toward the doors of the hall.

  Maynard raised his hand, and a dark light screen appeared at the entrance of the hall.

  Camilla crashed into it, but was rebounded backward.

  “I’m sorry, Camilla. I have to do this for the family.” Maynard’s voice suddenly appeared behind Camilla as he slapped her neck.

  Camilla collapsed to the floor slowly with her eyes wide open.

  “Inform the Bartoli Family, Camilla’s back. Tell them to show their sincerity to marry her,” Maynard said to the exterior of the hall as he carried Camilla in his arms.

  “We found it!”


  In the midst of fiery red lava, Sargeras’ eyes lit up as he looked at the long amulet floating in the deeper part of the lava. An area of vacuum surrounded the tablet like a bubble, and insulated the amulet from the lava.

  Sargeras dived in, and swam toward that amulet quickly.

  The temperature of the lava in the deep part of the volcano was enough to melt steel. Sargeras’ clothes long turned into ashes, and the lava on the surface of his body flowed about crazily. His body had also turned red.

  Sargeras—whose power was close to the 9th-tier—also felt his body being pushed to its limit.

  However, that Holy Lava Order was within reach, and he should be the lava demon that got the closest to it in centuries. A gleam flashed across his eyes, and the lava on his body’s surface quickened its flow again while he reached into the bubble without any hesitation to grab that amulet.

  That was a golden tablet which was about 50 cm long, narrow and triangular in shape. It was engraved with complicated runes, and there was the symbol of the lava demons at the top.

  Shhh……

  Sargeras grasped the tablet. It looked cold, but he felt a horribly high temperature that shook his soul instantly.

  The tablet in his hand caused smoke to emit from his palm, whereas the lava didn’t even hurt him at all. He hadn’t felt the pain of being burned for a long time. The pain that came from his palm and fingers felt as if they were melting.

  But Sargeras didn’t let go, and instead he grabbed that amulet even tighter.

  The Holy Lava Order was one of the lava demons’ three holy objects.

  The other two holy objects were already lost, and the Holy Lava Order was the lava demons’ only hope for resurgence.

  Sargeras clearly knew that even though he was already close to 9th-tier, the lava demons were still a very weak tribe on the Demon Islands.

  He had to let the Holy Lava Order reappear in this world so it could remove the seals and restrictions on them.

  The burning pain continued for an unknown period of time, and even a tough guy like Sargeras felt as if a hole was being burned through his soul.

  And right at that instant, a cold sensation was transmitted out from that Holy Lava Order, and spread throughout Sargeras’ body from his arms. All the burning hot sensation disappeared immediately, and Sargeras who was in the lava felt a comfortable sensation as if he was soaking in warm water.

  “This is?” Sargeras stared at the Holy Lava Order that was glowing in his hands in shock. Suddenly, a golden light flew out from that Holy Lava Order, and went in between his eyes. His gaze became vacant instantly as if his soul was sucked into a mysterious place. A mysterious bubble enveloped him.

  At the same time, the bottom of the volcano which was relatively calm before suddenly trembled violently. Red lava spewed out from the ground continuously and rushed toward the crater!
