The Corruption Dragon God: Lust System

Chapter 438: 438 - sinful heart!

The Rose Empire was colossal. Its population numbered in the billions, and its domains stretched across an incomparable expanse.

Naturally, such a territory required several divisions to ensure its efficient management.

Directly below the emperor were the twelve kingdoms.

Each was led by a warrior of the eleventh ring, equivalent to an ancestral emperor. In addition to these, there were six grand duchies and twenty marquisates.

Below these, there were thousands of other subdivisions. Some were even semi-independent merchant republics and territories ruled by the towers of wizards or the church.

The Divine Kingdom of Auranys itself, located north of the eastern region, functioned on land donated by the empire itself, despite being technically independent.

Despite all these divisions, two stood out as the main ones: East and West.

The East was the heart of the Empire. It was a region marked by large mountain ranges and plains, with land rich in minerals. It was the most prosperous area in the entire Empire and the center of Imperial politics.

The western region was not poor either, despite being remote and somewhat rural.

While the eastern region produced the Empire’s steel and gold, the western region prevented the Empire from starving with its fertile lands and large agricultural fields.

Unfortunately, despite its wealth, the imperial hand was much weaker in that region.

The soldiers guarding the western borders were always under pressure from countless hordes of beasts and they were barely able to keep an eye on what was happening within their own territory.

And that was where the problem arose.

Groups of demonic cults, necromancers, and criminals infested the place. That rural and poorly defended region was a paradise for them.

Normally, they were never a big problem. When they grew too large, a single local punitive expedition was enough to resolve the situation.

But in one of these cases, it was different.

More than five local punitive expeditions failed. After more than five thousand deaths, a request for help was sent to the cathedral in the imperial capital.

Originally, the bishop would send only a single paladin and solve the problem easily. However, that night, he received a message from the goddess.

The time for new sacred heroes to emerge had come. The five pendants of the golden convergence had fallen to earth, and soon she would point out the chosen ones.

That mission would be the first that those chosen would fulfill. The blood of those demons would mark them as the heroes of this generation.

Unfortunately, she did not respond to him again. Still, even without her pointing them out, the heroes began to emerge.

In the bishop’s eyes, there was only one answer: these were the heroes chosen by the goddess. At this very moment, she was testing him.

It was his duty to pass that test and prove himself capable of leading the church of Auranys to eternal glory. And he would not fail.

He wanted a little more time to allow those heroes to train and get to know each other better.

However, the empire itself was already aware of what was happening in that region and was pressuring the church to act as quickly as possible.

Right now, they were at their limit.

The power of that danger was increasing.

If they waited much longer, they would soon reach a situation where it would be impossible to defeat it with the power of the heroes alone, and the involvement of the imperial army would be necessary.

They needed to act immediately.

"It’s stupid," Qingyi said, right after hearing that story.

The bishop’s face twisted slightly, but he ignored the disrespect.

"We are only following the words of the goddess. Her wisdom is eternal, and her teachings cannot be questioned," the bishop replied, sighing heavily.

Yes, exterminating the problem immediately would be best. But in the end, where would their faith be?

"A lot of people must be dying because of this..." Celestia whispered beside Qingyi. Her eyes were slightly trembling as she clasped her hands in front of her chest.

"Sometimes sacrifices are necessary to follow the word of the goddess... They are in a better place now."

That answer was not enough to satisfy anyone with a functioning brain, but it mattered little.

They had already reached their destination: a large golden door.

The bishop just nodded gently. With a metallic creak, the door opened, revealing its interior.

Aeryn was in her corner, enjoying her own personal space while drinking a mild green tea.

Sapphire was also enjoying Aeryn’s personal space. Her enormous breasts pressed against the delicate elf’s back as they talked about magic arrays.

Lucien, on the other hand, was in the opposite corner of the room, kneeling and praying silently.

The moment the golden door opened, he stood up. His eyes ignored everyone there, focusing only on Qingyi.

"Oh... So you’re that Long Qingyi!" Sapphire immediately left Aeryn aside, rushing towards Qingyi.

Her huge breasts bounced with every step, being thrown into the air before returning against her delicate torso, undulating like full, soft water balloons.

Her voice was sweet and slow as she stopped, leaning toward Qingyi.

"We didn’t have a chance to properly introduce ourselves... I’m Sapphire. You did very well against Lucien, fufufu~~" Sapphire raised her hand.

"I am Long Qingyi." The handsome young man smiled, took her hand, and placed a soft kiss on it, moving a thin strand of draconic Qi toward her.

"Ah~~" A sharp, short, soft squeal escaped Sapphire’s lips. Her beautiful mature face flushed red and her legs instinctively closed.

What had just happened?

"Are you okay?" Qingyi asked, watching Sapphire’s lust increase.

"Y-yes... nghn~~ it’s a pleasure to meet you." Sapphire turned away with trembling steps, immediately calling upon a spell of mental calm.

She could feel a strange dampness in her panties... That was not normal...

Lucien heard the exchange between the two and shuddered for a brief moment, but in the end, he just stood up.

Without hesitation, he walked toward Qingyi, stopped beside him, and bowed. It had only been a few hours since their duel, but he had already healed completely.

"Brother Qingyi, thank you so much for teaching me the true path and healing my sinful heart!"
