Devouring Monarch: Rebirth of the Profane Phoenix

Chapter 388 The True Nature of the Famous Arachne!

'They looked strange at first, but when observed for so long, her eyes are really pretty.'

However, he snapped out of his trance when she began to ask him questions.

"You're not afraid of me? Why?"

"Hm? I don't know. You look pretty."Nôv(el)B\\jnn

"Hmph! A human male won't fool me! Where? What place is pretty, my human-like body?" The Arachne then spread her arms, revealing her soft breasts and their heavy weight, causing them to droop and dangle with the most erotic sway.

A deadly image to any male who saw this woman.

However, instead of looking at her breasts for too long, he covered her in his jacket, and then Asura watched her and noticed how each of her eyes was glistening from the light. He really couldn't help but find her attractive because of those eerie yet beautiful eyes.

"Your eyes are beautiful, like six shimmering rubies. They make me unable to look away."

"..." The Arachne blushed red and turned her head away, and she suddenly became flustered when she realised his gaze and attention weren't towards her human features but the ones of her Arachne lineage.

"T-Thank you. Nobody ever told me that before." She stammered, but her eyes were glimmering even brighter, and that's when he noticed the black, sleek legs glistening in the shadows from behind her back.

They seemed to move with her emotions and thoughts as they extended and tapped the wall, while she looked at Asura with a conflicted and embarrassed face, bright red cheeks, her human eyes loosed and wet, while her lips curled into a faint smile, trembling slightly.

"It's my pleasure to see such a beautiful and exotic woman, now then... Can you tell me why you are here?" He asked, and she began to explain.

"I am a spider princess, daughter to the queen of the great Arachne Kingdom, but suddenly monsters that happily served my mother one after the other turned up and started insisting she step down and surrender. Not once in the several thousand years of our family's ruling have the people been unhappy; our laws and rules benefit all races, keeping conflict down and corruption out."

She spoke with a saddened face and lowered her head, her human eyes and spider eyes both looking at the floor.

"My mother refused to step down, and the next day, she and my elder sisters were attacked in the throne room by those very same servants who had been serving our family for generations; I watched them tear my sister's legs off, one by one... I couldn't help or move...

and then something hit the back of my head, and when I came too, my eldest sister was carrying me in a bundle towards this kingdom..."

Her spider legs then moved, and Asura could see the tears dripping down, some falling on the floor while the Arachne continued to speak.

"Then I woke up here, and my eldest sister was nowhere to be found. She mentioned something about beseeching the princess of Silvara, hoping for the aid of the prince who saved the honourable Grom tribe. I was so startled to be in a strange place, and so I took a bath... only for there to be suddenly many maids; fearing they might be the enemy, I used the ceiling to escape their notice...

waiting for a chance to regroup with my sister."

Asura nodded his head and then asked her a question.

"What is your name?"

"Oh? It seems you are quite smart, too. I did come here seeking the princess Vela, hoping to beg for aid to regain our kingdom from the usurper. However, the person we sought was you... The one who saved the Grom clan from the cultists."

Rasha then walked forward on her eight slender and delicate legs, sat down beside Asura, and gazed at him with a grin. "However, I never expected you to be so handsome, and Yufa seems to have been charmed by your smooth words. Look at her acting all adorable, I heard, but you... do you like our Arachne eyes? Most humans dislike them."

Asura was a little confused but realised the tiny Rasha was testing him.

"Eyes are eyes, aren't they? Besides, Yufa's eyes are really pretty, not to mention you are both the same species... but your eyes, are slightly different. Both with their beauty; however, Yufa's are the best."

Asura complimented Rasha, but then Yufa looked a little disappointed, until his last words, which caused Rasha to snort before she gave a wide grin, showing her fangs to which she threatened Asura jokingly. "You should beware of the small body type of Arachne, Prince. Our venom is the most deadly, while softies like Yufa are just strong and durable."

Rasha looked pleased with her words and leaned closer to Asura, her spider legs tapping on the sofa while she grinned.

"Yufa is the baby of our family. All the spiders in our kingdom adore her, and if she asks them to, they will all fight for her. She is the only Arachne I know who can walk through our city and end up beloved by all our people. Mother says it's her gift, but I think Yufa is just that cute!"

Yufa then blushed and covered her sister's mouth. "Sister!"

"My, you are so adorable; big sis will keep you safe." Rasha chuckled and licked her sister's hand, causing Asura to laugh and poor Yufa to become even more embarrassed; however, he asked them directly, not wanting to delay the topic.

"How do you want me to help?"

"Simple, defeat the usurper and help me take back our kingdom, Prince Asura." Rasha then crawled onto his lap and smirked.

"I promise to give you a reward that will make you unable to refuse, Prince Asura," Rasha spoke seductively while Yufa blushed and pushed her sister's body away, hiding her face in her hands, but her spider legs tapped on the sofa as she peeked through her fingers, causing Asura to glance at her with a chuckle.

"Hmmm... the offer sounds sweet and all, but what about specifics, is it just you and Yufa, with no troops or anything to offer?"

"That is a problem. Yes, our kingdom is vast, but after Mother was usurped, we had no chance to flee and prepare while Yufa had a concussion from a surprise attack."

"I understand. Okay, then, let's discuss this with Vela. I will need time to prepare troops and resources, not to mention, this seems to be more taxing on our people, so there might be additional requests from Vela or the queen, do you understand?"

"Of course, Prince Asura. Yufa and I are grateful that you are willing to help despite the lack of soldiers or payment. Mother and the people of our kingdom will be most grateful to you, Prince Asura."

"Understood, but first, you two should get some rest; you're both pushing yourselves, right? You're exhausted to the brink of collapse."

"Oh my--" Before Rasha could make a sarcastic comment, Asura lifted her light body as if he held a pile of silk cloth. Her body weight so little it caused him to worry he only picked up her clothes... He then looked down, her eyes filled with shock and strange emotion, her lips open, revealing her lovely fangs and nose scrunched up.

"Rasha, you need rest."

Asura then stood from the sofa and walked towards the guest room while Yufa watched him with amazed eyes. Because her sister didn't move, struggle or even speak before he took two steps, Rasha's light snores began to echo through the living room.

"I've never seen big sister so obedient before..."
