The next morning, Orion opened his eyes in the inner keep to find both Lilith and Lysinthia sprawled across him, fast asleep. Lysinthia in particular still had Orionâs cock in her mouth, as though sheâd grown used to holding it even while dozing.
Orion got dressed and walked over to a window, feeling a slight heaviness in his chest. The sun had set, and it never rose again. That meant winter in the Black Forest had officially arrived, ushering in the Long Night.
Dark beast tides could break out any day now.
After calming the now-awake Lilith and Lysinthia, Orion headed out of the inner keep. Outside, four guards were already waiting.
"All right, letâs head out. The Long Night is here, so we need to inspect the territory."
A chorus of four howls echoed through the air. Orion glanced at the four Frost Wolves seated next to the guards and joked, "Well, look at thatâfinally showing some spirit!"
In the past, these four Frost Wolves only ever buried their heads in their food, waiting passively for Orion to feed them. This time, however, their howls sounded both ingratiating and cautionary. Smiling wryly, Orion tossed four bottles of high-tier Pet Pills to his guards and reminded them, "Just one pill each time. These are better than the old ones!"
Dace, Otho, Beyn, and Torba each ruffled their Frost Wolfâs head as they followed behind Orion, smiles on their faces.
Beginning on the western wall, Orion made his rounds all the way to the east, finally arriving at the underground fissure. Sensing Orionâs presence, Spider Queen Lorelia hurried to the entrance to greet him.
"Master!"
Leaving his guards outside, Orion followed Lorelia down toward the bottomless abyss.
"Any new activity in the bottomless abyss lately?"
"None so far."
Starting yesterday, Orion had removed the seed Violet had turned into, causing a faint strange fragrance to permeate all of Blackstone City. It would undoubtedly attract beasts, and those lurking in the bottomless abyss would smell it too, making them restless.
"Keep your guard up. It wonât be long before something crawls up from below."
"Donât worry, Master. With Rockwell stationed here, Iâll sound the alarm the moment anything happens!"
Orion couldnât help but twitch slightly at that remark. He still remembered how, the first time Lorelia fought alongside Rockwell, sheâd practically left him for dead. It was partly because Orion himself had instructed her to prioritize self-preservation, but Loreliaâs fear of dying had been a bit too obvious.
"So, howâs that nesting site working out?" he asked.
"Itâs⊠great! Lorelia absolutely loves the nesting site Master gave me."
"Whatâs so special about it?"
At Orionâs question, Lorelia wrinkled her brow thoughtfully, one hand supporting her chin.
"Well, for starters, my spiderlings have a higher survival rate, and weâve seen two mutant hatchlings in a row. Plus, Master, every one of usâmyself includedâloves sleeping inside the nest."
Orion nodded, silently praising Leonidasâs gift. On the day Orion joined the Champions Alliance, Leonidas had given him that very beast nesting site, now claimed by Lorelia. Heâd never told anyone else about it.
From Loreliaâs account, the beast nest had numerous functions: boosting hatch rates, increasing the chance of mutation, offering a place to hibernate, and providing protection.
Especially that last bitâwhile it had no offensive capabilities, its defense was extremely high. If Lorelia hid in there, even an Alpha-level powerhouse would have trouble rooting her out.
"The dark beast tides will descend soon," Orion said. "Send more of your little spiders to the outer walls to help defend Blackstone City."
"Understood, Master. Lorelia will do that!"
"Good. Stay on alertâIâm off."
Orion took one more look at the bottomless abyss before leaving the underground fissure. Deep down, he harbored a slight concern about that cross-realm teleportation array. But if Lorelia had heard nothing, the underworld was likely still at peace.
When Orion returned to the inner keep, it was already bustling with activity. Ten or so maidservants from the Succubus tribe had appeared.
The inner keep was massiveâno simple tent like beforeâand Lilith could never manage it alone. Besides, the Horde Hall was no ordinary castle; it felt more like a small garrison. Its purpose was always to be a fortress of war standing in Blackstone City.
Delilah of the Sentinel Corps oversaw the outer fortress, in charge of security and patrols. Every bloodline warrior rotating into the Horde Hall had to sign a contract ensuring absolute loyalty. The same went for the inner keep, and even the succubus maidservants were no exception.
Yet even with ten or so of them around, the enormous inner keep still felt a bit deserted.
"Dear Orion," Lilith called, stepping into the bedroom and moving to the windowsill. She wrapped her arms around his waist from behind. "This castle is hugeâbigger even than the old palaces of my tribe."
"Donât rush," Orion replied, drawing his gaze away from Blackstone City below and letting Lilith hold him. "Things take time. Blackstone City wasnât built in a day, either."
Truth be told, Orion, too, was a bit let down with inner keep life. It wasnât as richly decorated as heâd once imagined. There was no lavish garden or grand fountain. They didnât even have a decent cook; he was still eating mostly roasted meat every day. And that devoted old butler you hear about in stories? Nowhere to be found.
"That area over there," he said, pointing to the small courtyard in the middle of the inner keep, "I set aside that space so we can plant some magical plantsâor any flowers youâd like."
That courtyard was originally reserved for growing food, so the inner keep staff could be self-sufficient. However, Orion didnât lack for crops; what he truly needed were magical plants. Ever since his ascension to Legendary level, his demand for them had skyrocketed.
"What do you want me to plant, sweetheart?" Lilith asked, resting her head against Orionâs back while savoring his warmth.
In response, Orion pulled her into his arms and tore off her clothes. Stirred by Lilithâs teasing, his desire had flared, and now he was already hard.
"Whatever you feel like planting. In fact, every part of this placeâhalls, attics, kitchen, altar, barracks, stablesâneeds plenty of work and resources to fill them."
Leaning in, he murmured, "My dear Lilith, youâre going to be very busy indeed."
Lilith gazed deeply at Orion before turning her back and leaning against the edge of the bed. Under the bright lights, Orion watched as Lilith bent down, twisting her hips to shed her clothes. With a few graceful movements, her two breasts were fully exposed before Orion.
Her breasts were full and round. Especially her nipples, resembling enticing purple grapes, made Orion eager to taste their flavor.
Accentuated by Lilithâs long, beautiful legs, her hips possessed an inexplicable allure. Orion reached out and grabbed her buttocks, giving them a squeeze.
"Hmm... Itâs not the first time, but I have to say, they feel really nice!" Orion exclaimed eagerly as he leaned in closer.
In fact, this was their second time being intimate that day. Orion pulled down his pants, supported his cock with his hand, and expertly positioned himself over Lilithâs honey hole. Their bodies began to meld closely together.
"Ah... itâs so full! My vagina is completely filled by your cock..."
Orion started thrusting his cock in and out of Lilithâs vagina, each movement driving deep inside her.
"Ah... darling, this feeling is just wonderful..."
Lilithâs pants hadnât come completely off; they were pulled down to her knees, making it impossible to spread her legs. Instead, her legs pressed closer together, forcing her to firmly grip the meat rod inside her.
This tightness made Orion feel even better. As he thrust, he bent forward and cupped Lilithâs breasts, his fingers circling around her soft nipples, squeezing and flattening them, toying with her ample bosom.
Lilith let out soft moans, turning her head to kiss Orion affectionately. However, due to their size differenceâLilith being much smallerâshe found herself only able to reach Orionâs chest. Instead, she kissed his nipples.
Using her long tongue, Lilith licked and teased Orionâs nipples, causing him immense pleasure. He responded by thrusting harder and increasing his pace.
"Oh yes, darling, you can go even faster... Making love is truly a wonderful thing..." Lilithâs eyes shimmered with a certain longing as she lazily swayed her body. Find adventures at NovelBin.CĂŽm
Orion played with her breasts, smiling, "Hmm, whenever youâre free, Iâm up for it. I have no objections."
Hearing this, Lilith laughed and kissed Orionâs nipple again, saying, "Alright, as long as you like it. I look forward to you fucking me every day... Oh oh... a little faster."
Orion gave Lilithâs buttocks a pat and exclaimed, "Iâmâcoming!"
"Oooh..." Lilith breathed heavily, extending her palm to gently support Orionâs cock, allowing him to thrust with ease.
With each deep thrust, Lilith shook her head vigorously, her contracting vagina offering Orion a unique sensation.
Waves of pleasure traveled from her spine to her brain, prompting Orion to remark, "Lilith... your vagina is getting tighter... This feels amazing... It squeezes me so comfortably!"
"Oh yes... darling... your cock feels so good to me too..." Lilith fully opened herself up, her beautiful figure swaying uncontrollably with Orionâs thrusts, savoring the sensation of being conquered.
Orionâs breathing grew heavier, and he began to pick up the pace. As his thrusts quickened, Lilithâs responses became more intense. "Hmm... so good... oh..." Every deep insertion made Lilith frown slightly and emit lascivious moans.
Each thrust caused Lilith to tremble, her butt cheeks twisting left and right. Her breasts bounced up and down with each movement, her lascivious reactions further igniting Orionâs desire.
"Ah... mmm... oh... Iâm so satisfied... darling... faster, faster..."
To facilitate deeper thrusts, Orion pulled Lilithâs pants down, spreading her legs slightly to allow for more vigorous movements.
He continued to thrust rapidly, the tip of his cock continuously hitting the top of Lilithâs vagina, almost breaking through her cervix, yet providing Lilith with immense satisfaction. Her eyes sparkled with lustful fire.
Throughout the process, Orion kept fondling her nipples, gripping her elastic breasts without mercy. Under the intense thrusting, Lilith was nearly unconscious, her mouth open, jaw slightly trembling, continuously emitting lascivious moans and incoherent screams, "Oh! Darling Orion... Iâm flying, oh god..."
Lilithâs entire body suddenly stiffened and arched upwards, her hands releasing and then gripping tightly again as she let out climaxing moans. She bit her lip for about a minute, then forcefully shook her slender waist and collapsed forward, her body becoming limp. However, strong aftershocks lingered as her limbs continued to tremble slightly.
Orion felt the walls of Lilithâs vagina tighten around his cock, her vagina instantly secreting a large amount of love juices. The succubusâs vagina differed from that of other beings, especially the royal succubi.
Every time a succubus reached the peak of orgasm, not only would they secrete a significant amount of love juices, but their vagina would also generate a unique suction. This suction felt like having the tip of his cock being licked and sucked, drawing him in and pushing him out, providing his cock with extreme pleasure.
"Hold tighterâjust hold on a bit longerâIâm almost there... ah!"
In this state of extreme bliss, Orion released his thick semen deep into Lilithâs body.
After making love, Orion held Lilith close, her body nestled against him like a cat snuggling in his arms, and spoke about his hopes for the castle.
Regarding the management of the inner keep, according to the hordeâs rules, Lilith had the highest authority.
