Heroine's Secret!

To be honest, he was a little surprised by her actions. Even Hiro couldn't have expected Helene would go ahead and tell all of this to Deus!

Only a woman this clever could be said to be a true heroine. She was completely different from those ornamental vases who only had pretty faces and slutty bodies to their names.

She knew how and when to avoid misfortune!

Now that her Sect's in trouble, there's no way she would do something stupid — she could see the correct path and knew what to do.

Deus was the Ethereal Phoenix sect's greatest hope. There was no way she would offend Deus for Hiro. After all, desperate circumstances call for desperate measures.

Deus couldn't help but admire her.

Of course, it was pure appreciation, and not ravenous lust.

**Ding!**

// Helene's temperament has changed. Host's Choas Points increased by 200 Points.//

A System prompt suddenly sounded.

Deus couldn't help but squint his eyes with interest. It appeared that changing the hearts of the characters related to the Favored Son of Heaven could, indeed, shave off their Fortune and give him Choas Points.

With this, many of his considerations were simplified.

"Why are you telling me all this? Do you think I have any interest in your life story? Or, do you want to take this opportunity to make me let go of that Hiro?"

Still, Deus's merciless words held no pity, and a faint smirk could be seen adorning his visage.

Although Helene had anticipated such a result already, her face still paled, and she explained herself in a hurry, "I dare not! I knows the difference between me and Young Lord, and understands that it's not possible for me to enter the eyes of Young Lord . I said all that to show my sincerity before Young Lord, and I hopes that Young Lord won't mind the events that transpired that day."

"As for Hiro, I has no intention of interfering in that matter. Young Lord needn't worry."

"Oh! Hiro is infatuated with you to the point that he even went against the Ethereal Phoenix sect for you, yet this is how you decide to answer his actions?"

Deus asked with a playful smile and watched on.

Helene couldn't help but show a momentary grimace after hearing his words, but she had already resolved herself.

"Everything I do is for the Sect. Nothing is more important than the Sect that was painstakingly developed by my Father."

Helene's eyes dimmed as she spoke those words.

Deus, on the other hand, still had an indifferent expression and didn't speak anything in response. Inside his heart, however, he was roaring with laughter.

Attacking the heart was, indeed, a wonderful method.

"Young Lord, there's actually one more thing I has to tell you…I has the Mysterious Nine Yin Maiden Physique! No one knows this except for I."

After seeing no change in Deus's expression even after everything she said, she decided to reveal this secret to him.

She had revealed her greatest secret before him just to show him her sincerity!

'[Mysterious Nine Yin Maiden Physique]?'

'The Physique that's said to make the best Human Cauldron?'

There was naturally a record about the [Mysterious Nine Yin Maiden Physique] in Deus's memories. It surprised him when Helene suddenly revealed such a secret before him.

But soon, Deus understood her considerations behind such a desperate step.

This secret could be regarded as Helene's trump card. And with her proactively revealing her secret like this, it could be seen that she had been completely sincere with her apology just now.

Couldn't this be considered as the heroine's first step towards surrendering to the villain?

**Ding! **

//Helene's heart has begun to surrender. Host's Choas Points increased by 200 Points.

At the same time, the System's prompt rang once more.

Deus never expected that the process of making Helene surrender before him would be so smooth-sailing.

'A human cauldron is pretty much a slave that's used to improve the cultivation of their captor through Double cultivation techniques.

Women are pretty much treated as a meat that give you a boost every time you rape them and use a Double cultivation technique in the process. Every time the human cauldron is raped, they lose their Yin essence, which is also the essence of their life. Once that's sucked out from them completely, they pretty much die and get dumped in some ditch. Who knows? They might even get thrown into a real cauldron to make some kinda pill if their misfortune is high enough.

Helene had revealed her secret after thoroughly thinking over the matter. She, herself, wasn't dumb, and there was also the other soul inside her body, who had helped her think about various solutions and provided her with great advice.

Deus's temperament was something they couldn't grasp. Sometimes, he would be like a frosty God overlooking everything without a hint of emotion in his eyes, and other times, he played tricks on others like a well-established jester — his thoughts and actions couldn't be predicted.

He was different from Hiro, who could be read like an open book.

And it was precisely this unpredictable behavior of his that filled Helene's heart with unease. After much thought, this was the only method she thought would make him trust in her sincerity.

Many old monsters will most definitely target her as soon as her [Mysterious Nine Yin Maiden Physique] got exposed. The lure of the highest tier Human Cauldron wasn't small.

Revealing her trump card before Deus was her way of telling him that she wasn't being two-faced in front of him!

Helene believed that Deus would understand the meaning behind her actions. All that was left was to watch Deus's reaction to all of this.

"[Mysterious Nine Yin Maiden Physique]…it's a great physique if used as a Human Cauldron, but are you sure you want to tell me about it?"

Deus's voice sounded, but no emotion could be deduced from his flat tone.

Helene lowered her head, and said in an almost inaudible tone, "I believes that Young Lord is an upright person with great integrity!"

Of course, those were merely empty words. What integrity did Deus have? His strength and temperament might be deep and elusive, but he looked like a villain no matter how Helene looked at him; she couldn't see any good in his person.

"Such insincere words."

Deus chuckled.

Helene pursed her lips and did not respond.

Deus looked at her from head to toe. He had to admit that the female heroine sitting in front of him looked quite tantalizing.

She had delicate and exquisitely carved features. Her eyes rippled like spring water in autumn, and her willow-like eyebrows appeared to be drawn by the hands of a divine artist.

Her supple black hair and delightful, lily-white visage appeared ethereal as they radiated a fascinating charm. The anxiousness covering her face did nothing to decrease her allure, instead, it compounded the desire of the onlooker.

Deus wasn't an honorable Saint who had no desire for the pleasures of the flesh.

What's more? He neither asked nor threatened Helene for this — she was the one who offered herself to him on a silver platter. No one should be able to say anything even if he ate her whole right here and now.

'System, I shouldn't suffer a Fortune Backlash if she's the one offering herself to me, right?'

Of course, Deus still consulted with the System first. The world was vast, but he only had a single life.

He didn't have the Protagonist's immense Fortune, after all. He was a villain, and a villain must tread cautiously.

As long as it doesn't endanger his life, he will have no qualms enjoying Helene's meaty hotpot. As for what she thought about him? He didn't give a damn about that.

He already wanted to pluck this melon the moment he saw her immense Fortune, but he was afraid of getting struck by a Fortune Backlash. But now that the melon delivered itself to be plucked, Fortune shouldn't fuck him over, right?

//The Heroine's Fortune is still too high, and she hasn't completely surrendered to the Host yet. There's a high chance Host will suffer from a Fortune Backlash if you try to have a physical relationship with the Heroine right now.//

The System explained.

Alright, he had expected this result already.

That traitorous, dog-shit Fortune! Deus estimated that a bunch of crab monsters had their attention focused on him from their random dimensions. He knew something this good couldn't come so easy!

Of course, there was no change to his expression, and he said without a single tremor in his flat tone, "About your [Mysterious Nine Yin Maiden Physique]…I will act as if I never heard about it. If the Sect Maiden wants to impress me by this, then please return."

"Lady, have some self-respect!"

His expression showed his indifference and disdain as he continued, "I need to focus on my Cultivation now, so I can't entertain you anymore, Sect Maiden!"

**Tut. Tut. Tut.**

Deus couldn't help but admire his acting skills. If the System had an independent mind of its own, it would have most certainly cursed Deus for his shamelessness. Who was asking him whether he could eat up the other party just now?

"Young Lord …"

Deus's unexpected response stunned Helene as visible disbelief appeared on her face.

Helene had prepared herself for the worst outcome when she came to visit him. Although it was humiliating and her heart wasn't all that willing, she knew that she had no other choice left now.

Deus's response, however, caught her off guard.

Of course, she was more relieved than stupefied.
