My Goddess is Good at Pretending-Chapter 607: Long Term Contract
"Aah~" Elysia opened her mouth as Luna fed her tasty dessert.
"..." Rhea ate her dinner quietly, but she kept her eye on Envy.
A few minutes ago, she tried to inquire more about Envy’s matters directly. Still, this demon queen did everything for the sake of the contract and would do anything to complete it. With the additional payment upfront, Envy was happy to cooperate with all the conditions.
As for the heretic’s soul, nobody could perform any more interrogation because the soul was already severely damaged and almost dissipated. Due to a severe soul restriction installed by the mentioned ancient demon, the heretics could never leak any crucial information even using the soul search technique.
What Envy did to the captured heretic’s soul was a high-level secret art to peek at some shallow, common information, and it put heavy damage on the soul. Afterward, Envy preserved the damaged soul and kept it safe, preventing it from dissipating and alerting the other heretics.
Since the body was ownerless, Envy took possession of it to avoid the hunters’ pursuit and also to mask the hellish demonic presence to a mortal human perfectly. That way, Envy could prepare the plan and the trap flawlessly as the insider.
Regardless, deep inside Rhea’s heart, such a heinous technique still made her uncomfortable, but she put it aside because the heretics deserved to die regardless. As for Envy, the demon queen who was clearly demonic and most likely evil, her master worked together with such a great evil to lure the other great evils later.
’Fighting evils by using another evil, hmm~ The controlled, tamed great evil is far better than the wild great evil. The sinners have a chance for salvation to atone for their sins.’ Rhea nodded slightly as if she understood what Elysia had planned far ahead.
"Envy, do you have a nickname or alias?" Luna wiped her baby master’s mouth with a soft handkerchief.
Because she wished to proceed with her journey with her baby master, then she had to quickly conclude the Envy’s matter and send this demon queen away.
"Uhm, this is so tasty! So, this is what they call mortal pleasure, eh? Why are you suddenly asking about it? Just call me Envy. I’m okay with it." Envy enjoyed her dinner happily. Her hate for her current contract binder had almost completely faded because of these delicacies.
"You need a pseudonym that doesn’t involve the names of the seven deadly sins. How about Testarossa as your pseudonym?" Elysia nodded in agreement as she planned to hire Envy for a little longer.
Envy munched her food and grabbed another delicacy, but she stopped for a moment when she heard a new name given by her contract binder. "Testarossa... it sounds cool, but what does the name mean?"
"Hmm..." Elysia looked at Envy up and down.
Envy’s current appearance was a devilish beauty that exuded an aura of dark allure, no longer the hellish purple demoness. Envy’s long auburn hair cascaded down like a river of molten bronze, gleaming with fiery highlights under the moonlight.
Each strand flowed with a rich blend of red and brown, framing her newly healed fair skin. Envy’s violet eyes were captivating, like amethysts of wicked charm, holding the secrets of untold desires and hidden dangers.
Envy curled her lips into a teasing, devilish smile, revealing just a hint of malice beneath the surface. Adorned in a form-fitting, dark velvet gown that accentuated one’s curves, Envy ate dinner with proper table manners.
"It’s mean red hair." Elysia nodded.
"Red? I thought it was brown." Envy checked her hair color. This new physical body of hers was good and beautiful by mortal’s standards. Honestly, this wasn’t the first body that she possessed today, but the other bodies couldn’t satisfy her and ended up as trash.
"It’s actually reddish brown, auburn color. You don’t like Testarossa? How about Auburn, I mean, Aubryn?" Elysia came up with another name. She was confident in her choice of name.
"This is a tough choice. Testarossa sounds a bit demonic and cool, but Aubryn truly suits my current appearance. Ugh, you’re my contract binder, so you’re my current master. Just pick whatever you think is good for me." Envy felt conflicted, but she didn’t think too much about it.
"You like that new body and the name Aubryn fits it perfectly. Then, we’ll call you Aubryn when you use this appearance." Elysia nodded in satisfaction at that.
"Alright, I’m Aubryn when I’m in this form, but it’s Envy in my demon queen form, alright?" Envy, now Aubryn, didn’t mind that. She was actually like the name.
"Alright, Aubryn, can you tell us about the other Demon Kings of Hell? Why are there only six instead of seven supreme overlords?" Elena tapped the table for attention.
"That’s because the 6th seat perished a long time ago. We have no Gluttony as he was already destroyed into nothingness. That foolish glutton offended the one he shouldn’t offend..." Aubryn recalled about it with a subtle sigh.
"Who did he offend?" Elena felt intrigued. There might be an entity more dangerous than the six supreme overlords of Hell.
"No one knows. That expert is so mysterious and no one can see that guy’s origin. He once visited the Hell Realm, but Gluttony was so unlucky to encounter that guy." Aubryn shrugged her shoulders. She truly didn’t know more about it.
"Is that so..." Elena nodded in understanding. The Demon King of Gluttony was really unlucky.
However, Aubryn said the expert was a guy, so it was probably He-Dao himself! He was the only one who was more than capable of eliminating one of the supreme overlords of Hell with ease even in their own domain.
"Have you ever thought about becoming the strongest in the Hell Realm?" Zera added, knowing Elysia intended to make the Demon Queen of Envy the pawn ruler to control.
"W-what? Are you serious?" Aubryn dropped her food with her mouth wide open, too shocked by the sudden question.
She stared at the devilish lady questioningly as she failed to understand what this evil-looking Goddess wanted to imply. "What do you mean by that?"
"So, your answer?" Zera pressed as she demanded an answer, not another question.
Aubryn felt intimidated by the sudden dark mental pressure. "I said it, okay! I may have thought that, but what does that have to do with this?"
"You embark on the path of envy, but what if you look at it from another perspective? Jealousy is weak because you may view others as the subject of envy, acknowledging your inferiority. It’s all about mindset. Have you ever tried to be the subject of envy yourself, the one envied by all with your superiority and authority?" Elysia tried to entice Aubryn.
"..." Aubryn somehow tried to imagine it, but she then realized it was so strange. It was as if these Goddesses tried to get something out of her.
After she finished this contract, she wanted to immediately return to Hell Realm because it was so unpleasant to be in the unfavorable end without the ability to control even her own situation.
"Wait, hold on. That sounds weird when you say it in your fox cub form. What are you trying to get from me? I just realized that you embarked on the dao of virtue, right? You don’t radiate any evil spirit like her. Yet, you contracted a demon queen and forced me to work for you." Aubryn pointed at the evil-looking Goddess. She honestly felt scared and worried now, knowing it was more than it than meet the eye.
"Fufu~ some demon kings, including those in Hell, deserve some spanking. We want you to work for us for another long-term contract." Elysia covered her mouth as it was funny to see a great demon queen look scared before a fox cub.
"So, you want me to be your pawn for you to control? Can I refuse? Can you just please spare me and let me go after this contract is over?" Aubryn paled and quickly took a safe distance.

"Hmm, we’ll have a hard time if you refuse. We’re not asking you to do anything forbidden. Why would a great demon queen be afraid of domination? Should we get Greed over as he is probably able to cooperate, thanks to his greed?" Elena pondered about it.
"Let me hear about your offers." Aubryn was worried and a little scared, but she could feel it was probably once in a lifetime opportunity.
Elysia then put forward a long-term contract and Aubryn read all the clauses carefully. It was an official contract between the Sacred Sakura Goddess and the Demon Queen of Envy.
After reading everything, Aubryn understood that it was really an opportunity! The Sacred Sakura Goddess didn’t ask her to be a good demon queen or a mindless pawn to control.
There was no suspicious condition either. If she agreed, then she would receive the Sacred Sakura’s support and she would ascend to the position of becoming the strongest in the Hell Realm.
"This feels too good to be true." Aubryn felt a little hesitant.
"Here, you may have it. We’ll invest in you so you can become the strongest hell great demon soon to take control over the Hell Realm. You can get another one like the one you saw in the hologram after you complete the current contract." Elysia put a small fragment of abyssal gem on the table.
"!!!" Aubryn gasped in shock. It was a bit bigger than the abyssal gem offered by the current ongoing contract. It looked authentic with a real abyssal aura, not a fake, and she grabbed it right away. "Can I have it?"
"Yes. Welcome abroad in our pirate ship, Demon Queen Aubryn." Elysia nodded.
It was a huge upfront investment! Aubryn immediately secured the abyssal gem and knelt down, stating her sacred oath and sealing the long-term contract using her soul. She would serve the Sacred Sakura Goddess and carry out any given tasks without fail as long as she received the divine support.
After sealing the deal, Elysia gifted Aubryn a week’s worth of provisions before her group left in the horse-drawn carriage, flying away and leaving Aubryn behind.
