Becoming the Demon Lord: Taming the Demon Queen Begins

"Selene's out of seclusion again!"

At Blooming Sanctuary, this announcement instantly grabbed everyone's attention.

Many female disciples gathered beside the cave, quietly waiting for Selene to appear.

As the frail figure emerged into the light, all the disciples felt a pang of sympathy.

Selene, once proud and dismissive as the younger sister of Holy Maiden Aeliana, had been humbled by two consecutive emotional setbacks, leaving her visibly worn.

"Congratulations on completing your seclusion, Selene," the disciples of Holy Maiden Aeliana said, bowing respectfully.

Even though Selene still seemed a bit weak, the disciples couldn't help but admire her.

Heartbreak is a serious blow for any practitioner, potentially causing irreversible damage.

For ordinary people, mending a broken spirit even once is incredibly difficult.

Yet, Selene faced two major emotional traumas and, after months of introspection, emerged from seclusion with her spirit restored.

Her extraordinary resilience and strength were truly admirable.

"Don't worry, Selene. These setbacks are just obstacles on your path of cultivation. Once you overcome this, you'll emerge stronger, reaching new heights!"

"That's right, who else but Selene could recover from such deep emotional wounds twice? You're bound to redeem yourself, defeat the Mindfiend, and restore your former glory!"

Amidst the praises, Selene simply nodded nonchalantly and said, "I appreciate your thoughts today. I need to see my sister now, so please go ahead without me."

"Take care of yourself," the disciples responded, nodding respectfully.

From Selene's calm demeanor, they could tell that her spirit was now as still as still water—not only fully recovered but even more advanced.

Despite their concerns, they knew.

This time, Selene seemed truly reborn, completely free from the Mindfiend!

The disciples slowly dispersed, and Selene walked alone towards Holy Maiden Aeliana's chamber.

"Timothy? Just a matter of time before he's defeated," she muttered to herself, boosting her own morale.

This thought filled her with increasing confidence and a surge of boldness.

Beaten down at an auction and humiliated by seeing Timothy riding a dragon right after her previous seclusion, her spirit had once been completely dominated by the fear of Timothy's Mindfiend.

But now, she was completely transformed!

With every step, Selene's resolve grew stronger.

Having healed her spirit again, her cultivation had greatly improved.

The threat Timothy posed with his Mindfiend was now insignificant.

With her terrifyingly fast progress, it wouldn't be long before she surpassed Timothy effortlessly.

Soon, she would easily defeat him and cut off the past associated with that Mindfiend.

That moment was not far off.

Thinking this, a slight, smug smile appeared on Selene's lips as she approached the chamber.

She had always taken pride in her sister, Holy Maiden Aeliana.

Even though they had a great sisterly bond, Selene never showed any disrespect or contempt when facing her sister.

For her, Holy Maiden Aeliana was always a sacred and inviolable "Goddess."

This reverence was so profound that not even their sisterly relationship could diminish it.

In her heart, there was only admiration for her sister.

And Holy Maiden Aeliana, having reached the Holy Emperor level, was revered by all, untouchable as Selene had hoped.

Every time she saw her sister, Selene felt an inexplicable thrill in her heart.

Today, having finally mended her spirit and emerged from seclusion, the first thing Selene wanted to do was to see her sister. But as she approached the chamber, she suddenly noticed Holy Maiden Aeliana floating down from the sky, just returning to her quarters.

"Did sister leave the sanctuary?" Selene wondered, watching Holy Maiden Aeliana more intently.

But she quickly noticed that Aeliana, usually the epitome of grace and sanctity, was clutching her hip and walking with a slight limp.

"What on earth happened to her?" Selene was shocked and hurriedly followed quietly to the outside of the chamber, watching as Holy Maiden Aeliana entered.

Inside, as soon as she entered, Aeliana couldn't help but whimper softly, "Ouch, that hurts..."

Despite her formidable strength, even a seemingly light punishment had left her in pain.

Feeling the throbbing pain in her hip, Holy Maiden Aeliana muttered resentfully, "It's all Timothy's fault. If it weren't for him... Ah, it hurts..."

With a pained whimper, tears welled up in Aeliana's eyes as she murmured resentfully, "He really doesn't know his own strength. It's not the first time, and he's still so rough. Just this once is enough to hurt for days. Can't he be gentler next time?"

After speaking, she staggered to the window, her delicate body in pain as she lay on the bed, rubbing her slightly swollen buttocks that Sylvia had hit.

Witnessing this scene and hearing Holy Maiden Aeliana's murmured words, Selene was stunned.

Her mind was struck by lightning!

What did her sister just say?

"It's all Timothy's fault, is it because of him that she's like this?"

What exactly happened? What could make her sister, a Holy Emperor-level practitioner, clutch her buttocks in pain and even walk with a limp?

Could it be!

Selene's mind was in complete turmoil.

She didn't want to believe it, nor could she dare to believe it.

But what Holy Maiden Aeliana said, and her evident condition, left no room for another explanation.

All of this!

Moreover, Holy Maiden Aeliana had whispered it herself.

Saying it wasn't the first time, Timothy didn't know his own strength, was too rough, and she hoped he could be gentler next time.

"How can this be explained?"

Selene tried hard to convince herself not to imagine in that direction.

But reality was so clearly laid out before her eyes, leaving her no ground for denial.

Her sister, the esteemed Holy Maiden Aeliana, a Holy Emperor-level practitioner, had been involved with Timothy... in that way...

Tears began to flow.

More and more tears, larger and larger drops, and before she knew it, Selene's face was streaked with tears.

She recalled the terrifying figure at the auction.

Not just herself, but now even her sister, Holy Maiden Aeliana, had fallen prey to that beast.

And it seemed her sister might even be finding some pleasure in it...

Even Holy Maiden Aeliana had completely succumbed, Timothy, that beast, that demon! She had no chance of defeating him...

With tears rolling down her cheeks, Selene's heart, so recently mended, shattered once again.
