Chapter 171
The strange feeling from the God-Eating mask disappeared again after a while . It came once in a while again and again, but Chen Rui was sure that this fluctuation wasn’t an illusion . He had been fretting that the mask on his face couldn’t be removed . His heart was moved: Although I don’t know what is calling for the mask, it must be related to this artifact . Perhaps it’s the key to remove the mask .

With that in mind, Chen Rui decisively gave up his trip to the Blue Lake . Since the poison dragon wouldn’t leave the Blue Lake anyway, so he didn’t need to rush that . It would be better to figure out the thing about the mask first .
As he opened his senses, he searched toward the source of resonance and walked out of the arena .
It was already late at night . The two purple moons were hanging in the sky . Probably because he hadn’t been exposed to moonlight for being underground for a long time, he always felt uncomfortable at night these few days .
He could no longer feel the summoning power again, but it should be in this direction . At that moment, there was a loud noise coming from the alley ahead, and it seemed to be mixed with a woman’s yell .
Chen Rui frowned, walked toward the voice and saw a dead end . Several minotaurs (note: the centaurs from earlier chapter has been changed to minotaurs due to the confusion of centaur riding gale horse) and liches were blocking a dark elf woman . The woman was a little attractive . She was holding a baby in her arms . She was forced to the corner with her robe torn to pieces . She could only shiver with her back facing those men . She covered the baby in her arms and kept begging for mercy, but it didn’t move those guys at all .
Robbery and rape weren’t new in the Demon Realm . Besides, women weren’t an easy target in the Demon Realm . However, it wasn’t impossible for men to be robbed and raped . If it was a few guys surrounding a succubus, then rape would turn into seduction . As compared to succubus, the dark elves were relatively conservative, especially when there was a large disparity in strength .
The minotaur laughed while tearing off the woman’s skirt on her back . He threatened her to submit, otherwise he would kill the baby . A lich was about to touch the woman’s hip, but suddenly, his hand was hurt; it was actually sliced into two . His perverted laugh instantly turned into a painful cry . The other complices were taken aback . When they turned around, they saw a cloaked mysterious man standing behind .
Before the few guys could speak, the figure moved slightly and all of them had fallen to the ground . All of them had amputated limbs and broken body parts and their blood covered the entire ground .
Chen Rui slowly retracted his slightly trembling hands . Although these guys deserved to die, he didn’t intend to use such cruel means . Yet, for some reason, there was a sudden bloodlust in his heart . He wanted to see the sight of blood flowing on the ground .
The woman looked back in horror at the scary mysterious man . She couldn’t bother to cover her bare hips and back . She was trembling with her baby in her arms; she couldn’t say a word . She was clearly frightened by his bloody means just now .

Under the moonlight, the eyes in Chen Rui’s mask glowed with a dim light as he stared at the woman’s bare back . There was actually an urge to immediately push her down and rape her . Suddenly, he regained consciousness . He was secretly shocked: What happened to me? Why do I have such bloodlust and impulse to rape?
At that time, the fluctuation of the strange power appeared again . Chen Rui’s figure flickered and disappeared from the place . The dark elf woman who was holding her child had her legs softened . She slowly fell to the ground . Looking at the bloody sight in front of her, she could barely move her legs that was softened from fear .
Chen Rui moved at high speed along that force and gradually approached a familiar place . This kind of power fluctuation came from this place .
Dark Moon Palace!
When he was approaching the palace, the resonance was still intermittent, but the fluctuation had reached a relatively strong level . The mask on his face has begun to faintly heat . Chen Rui wanted to take the opportunity to take off the mask, but he failed again .
Judging from the look of the guards at the palace’s gate, this resonance seemed to be invisible to others .
Chen Rui hesitated for a while, but decided to enter the palace anyway . Since he had already arrived here, there was clearly no reason to go back . Instead, he should take this opportunity to solve the mask’s problem as soon as possible .
With Chen Rui’s current strength and familiarity with the palace guards, it wasn’t difficult to enter the gate . Yet, as he waited for the opportunity to sneak in, he suddenly felt a faint dizziness . It seemed like the mask on his face exerted some strange power . When he regained consciousness, he somehow crossed the gate and reached the outer courtyard already .
Penetrating through obstacles with magic protection? Is this the power of artifact? Chen Rui was puzzled and that dizzy feeling appeared again . He walked forward step by step involuntarily . He “penetrated” through the outer courtyard and directly reached the inner courtyard yet the surrounding guards were unaware of it .
The inner courtyard was just in front of him . He was getting closer to the source of the fluctuations .

Chen Rui was nervous for a while . The inner court was incomparable to the outer court as the number and strength of defensive magic arrays were much stronger . He was brought in by Kaguron the previous few times, and he was repeatedly instructed not to wander around . Now that he went in directly, it was still fine if he triggered the magic array’s defense . If Shea found out, it would be troublesome as he was now wearing an artifact of the Beelzebub Royal Family, the archrival of the Lucifer Royal Family .
It was easy to create unnecessary misunderstandings .
The “God-Eating Mask” didn’t care about Chen Rui worries . It activated that strange power again and “brought” him into the inner courtyard . Along the way, he didn’t trigger any magic array nor alarm any guard .
Chen Rui passed through the Royal Garden when he first came to the inner courtyard . Then, he passed by the sleep chamber and several courtyards before he arrived at an unfamiliar place and finally stopped . There was a pool in the distance with a magic cylindrical pillar at the center constantly gushing out water .
More precisely, it was an open fountain bath .
“Coincidentally”, someone was bathing in that .
Besides, it was a beauty .
Unfortunately, the person who was bathing was the beauty that Chen Rui was most afraid of .
The Dark Moon Princess Royal, Shea Lucifer .
The long blonde hair and snow-white skin were covered with a faint layer of purple under the moonlight . She was as perfect as a goddess . However, except for that layer of purple moonlight, this goddess had nothing to cover her body . She obviously didn’t need to be clothed when she showered at her own bath .
This is so crazy! Chen Rui was startled . Is this goddamn Beelzebub royal artifact a “God-Eating Mask” or a “Pervert Mask”?

Rushing for such long distance with such great effort just to peep on a bathing beauty?
It’ll be better if it’s other ladies . This beauty is the Lord of Dark Moon City! Her strength is at least Great Demon King! If she finds out, even if I reveal my identity, I can’t still explain it .
This wasn’t mythology where when one saw a beautiful woman bathing, one could take the clothes and sneak off . Then, came out to comfort or threaten the beautiful woman . Subsequently, it would come to a happy ending . Based on Chen Rui’s understanding of Shea, once he exposed his whereabouts, he would be killed by the furious iceberg beauty at the very first moment .
Chen Rui was now in the shade of a tree . He didn’t dare to move . He curbed his entire body’s breath lest he was found . According to the difference in strength between the two, even if Chen Rui’s curb his breath, it was still difficult to hide . However, for an unknown reason, Shea didn’t seem to notice his existence .
The reason was likely to be on the “God-Eating Mask” for exuding waves of rolling heat . Under these waves, Chen Rui seemed to be perfectly integrated with the entire environment . He looked just like a part of the tree shade; it was almost imperceptible to others . In such a way, it was even beneficial for someone’s eyes .
Regardless of appearance or figure, Shea and Christina were of the same level . Christina felt like the depth and tranquility of a lake while Shea was as cold as an iceberg . Regardless of temperament, in this situation, she was just a bathing naked beauty .
Although Chen Rui’s distance was a little far, with his Alkaid state’s eyesight, he could see everything clearly that he shouldn’t see .
The Princess Royal’s body was exquisite and perfect . The round hips and slender legs made his blood pressure high . Perhaps it was because of being tightly bound usually, the release of the free-standing towering breasts were more upright and plump than expected . The nipples at the top also erected due to the stimulation from the water .
Chen Rui never imagined that the iceberg-like Shea would have such a seductive moment . He inexplicably thought of the naked woman in the alley again, then he felt an unknown heat flowing in his heart that was like the burning of certain desire .
However, he might be lustful, but Shea wasn’t the woman in the alley . If his desires truly burnt, the fire might burn his body, turning him into a pile of ashes .
Chen Rui suddenly thought of Athena . His beloved woman who was still unconscious . He cursed himself for being a beast and immediately restrained all those desires .
At that point, Shea had finished bathing . Suddenly, she disappeared out of thin air, leaving only the sound of rushing water .
Chen Rui was already guilty for peeping, so he was afraid that Princess Royal would appear behind him with murderous intentions . His heart was dangling at his throat . Fortunately, his worry didn’t become a reality .
Not long after, Shea reappeared by the pool this time . She had put on a long white dress .
The strange resonance began to become stronger again . Chen Rui was afraid that the “God-Eating Mask” couldn’t resist the “impulse” and reveal him instantly . Thus, he tried his best to suppress the dizziness . Fortunately, Shea didn’t stay here and left straightaway .
After Shea left, Chen Rui’s figure immediately appeared beside the pool . Obviously, the fluctuation came from the pool . This somewhat innocent Pervert Mask didn’t come to the palace to peep at a bathing beauty . Instead, it “conveniently” gave him a beautiful show of beauty bathing .
This pool could actually summon the “God-Eating Mask” . Along with the awakening from Shea’s sudden disappearance, there must be something mysterious about it .
The “God-Eating Mask” heated up again as the dizzy feeling appeared once again . Chen Rui captured this feeling very clearly this time . It was a bit similar to the
In an instant,
By the time Chen Rui’s regained his consciousness, he was already in another place . Based on his drenched body, he could tell that he had just passed through the bath .
Chen Rui mustered his strength and slowly evaporated the water from his body while examining the strange place .
