Reverend Ecstasy

Chapter 257 The Undeniable Truth

Meanwhile, the Bull Demon Prince faced the most challenging choice of his life: accept or reject.

Accept Xinzi's offer, and starting with the fox girl standing before him, all his fantasies would become true. Yes, he'd have to part with 99% of the Celestial Farm's yearly yield. Yes, he'd have to give up on 10,000-years worth of accumulation, but within the boundaries of the Celestial Farm, no one could challenge him. The 100,000 Cow Demonesses, the seven former consorts that hid in their ranks, and Tieshan—oh Tieshan—finally, she wouldn't be able to spurn his advances and control the pace of their relationship. Finally, he'd be able to impose his will on her, dominate her to his heart's content and become the Bull Demon King he was always meant to be!

But all this came at a cost: betrayal! He had to betray Tieshan, to surrender to the outsider, embrace a demonic patron and sign a Heart Demon Pledge! This wasn't easy to do, for no matter how much he resented this state of affair, the Bull Demon Prince loved Tieshan. Worse, a part of him didn't mind being her lapdog, didn't mind the prospects of worshipping at her feet—to hold her thigh and devote an eternity to satisfying her every need, how blissful would that feel?

But!

He was a man, a bull, a king! How could the life of a simping servant satisfy his masculine pride?

Was it not a man's duty to lead, defend, conquer and shelter? When did it become women's turn to take on these roles and make tools out of their biological leaders? The Bull Demon Prince could accept being a vassal to Xinzi, but never Tieshan! The very thought that she aimed to build and spread a matriarchal empire rattled his heart. Someone had to stop before she overthrew the natural order and caused irreparable calamities! This was the opportunity, the Bull Demon Prince's chance to save Tieshan from herself, save the Celestial Farm, save the world!

At this time, the Fox Girl folded her arms, unwittingly compressing her large breasts at the Bull Demon Prince's face and batting her eyes at him. Steam rolled out of the bull demon's nostrils, his tongue struggling to stay in his mouth. The poor bull couldn't see through the Klesha Haze Illusion and fell completely. In fact, if not for the transmission mirror revealing slight imperfections, Tieshan wouldn't have been able to sense anything amiss either.

This was too real, too good. The Bull Demon Prince's Yang Qi went on full display, and without further hesitation, he said:

"YES, YES! I agree to all your terms! I will deal with Tieshan, defend your interests in the Celestial Farm, and anything you ask of me!" The Bull Demon Prince made a Heart Demon Pledge. Dark light flashed in his eyes, and he threw himself at the seductive illusion, forgetting the current situation to hump at will!

It wasn't his fault. The Klesha Haze leaking from that illusion made a mess of his senses, causing a crude display. Though Tieshan knew that this was an illusion, that her betrothed was basically humping mist, her mind saw what her mind saw. The betrayal that she feared all along became concrete reality, staring her in the face and smacking her cheeks with searing blows.

Tieshan's heart beat erratically, and her eyes went bloodshot. Still, she refused to look away from the mirror, killing intent soaring as her eyes stretched to impossible lengths. Xinzi wouldn't let this opportunity slide, lifted his goat mask high enough to reveal his lips, and whispered in Tieshan's ears.

"This is the truth. The truth you've been denying yourself for so long. The men you want would never agree to your terms. No matter how powerful you get, and how much you can offer them, at the first opportunity, they will betray you—betray you because, beautiful, you're trampling upon their manhood—emasculating them at every turn.

Have you not noticed that a woman's social or financial dominance is of no appeal to most men? They can praise you for your achievements, support you every step of the way, and enjoy the backing you can provide in financial matters, but most males will not find you attractive because of what you've achieved.

Most women, on the other end, are drawn to a man's achievements. So much so that we see looks and compatibility factors fall into the background.

This...is the structure that men and women have built together. Your Dark Moon Cult can use all the heretical methods at its disposal to alter the norm, but from the most depleted of villages to the Central Domain, the majority will still behave like this.

Cultural and biological factors both play a role. You can beat the former, but never the latter—or so the world will have you think," Xinzi whispered in Tieshan's ear, but as his words stirred her Heart Demon, the discourse took an abrupt shift.

"I for one never believed in any of that nonsense. Born in an environment where gender has always been irrelevant, it seems to me that the problem lies in mortals being way too malleable. But to fix things, to usher in the world that you desire, you need more than demons on your side.

You need a God. And I just so happen to be one." Little did Tieshan know that, from the moment she stepped into the Liberation Temple, Xinzi's Hell Suppressing Immortal Pulse imposed its will on her Heart Demon, preventing her demonic patron from playing a role in their exchange.

"Tieshan, I am God, Devil and Saint all in one. The only existence throughout all realms that can grant you the support you need without denying you the freedom you hold so dear. If you truly wish to alter the status quo, to create an empire that proves to the world that females can accomplish all that males can, a world where males and females stand on an equal footing, then give yourself to me. What do you want? How do you want it? With me on your side, there is nothing that you cannot accomplish.

I will never select a path for you, never force any choice upon you. A one-time deal or a lifetime of partnership, it's all up to you. Tieshan, for you, I am willing to make this compromise. What will you give me in return?" Xinzi whispered, and just as he expected, without the goat mask to alter his voice, Tieshan recognized the sound—causing her mind to fall prey to complete chaos.

'Impossible! Impossible!'

It couldn't be that boy. She couldn't believe it. The gap between the two was like the distance between the heavens and earth. Yet, the voice was exactly the same, and the Yang Qi bore similarities as well.

In this mental game, Xinzi fought Tieshan on three fronts. With words, doubts, and the Bull Demon Prince's betrayal. All played a crucial, enabling our demonic monk to open a gap in Tieshan's psyche and worm himself into her heart.

After having his way with illusions, the Bull Demon Prince opened a narrow gap in the defensive barrier, enabling Xinzi's troops to sneak in. From that moment on, whether Tieshan agreed or not, the Celestial Farm belonged to the Liberation Temple.

The betrayal was complete, and Tieshan's eyes burned with killing intent. Sensing his opportunity, Xinzi made one final move.

"Even the pact that binds your cultivation and future to that demon noble can be broken," Xinzi said, forcing an irresistible offer upon the Cow Demoness.

"I...agree. But first, help me make him pay. He must pay. Don't worry, you will like every bit of it. Niu Yan...you will pay for this!"
