Chapter 167: Meeting Willow Again!

After Jax and Sabrina gave themselves to each-other, two weeks had passed. The duo had spent the first week working closely, and pleasuring each-other like rabbits every single day.

Jax also met with Alexi and Natasha twice, to have some fun, but now he was focusing on business.

In the past week nothing much had changed. The Demon Kingdom hadn’t gone on any major offensives, and there also weren’t any emergencies demanding his immediate response.

Currently, Jax was standing alone on one of the Upper Terraces of the Cathedral in Aeternum Noctis, overlooking the outer development rings of the capital that were designed for a specific purpose.

Beyond the polished spires and structured districts, vast stretches of land were being reshaped and prepared as agricultural zones.

These places were the future breadbaskets of the Demon Realm. Work had been done and was going amazing.

Jax could sense the changes in the land even from this distance. The mana density in the soil was stabilizing and any forms of turbulence were decreasing.

That meant one thing, that Willow’s work was progressing well.

Sabrina had also delivered consistent reports over the past 2 weeks. She was also much more relaxed in Jax’s presence after their escapades.

However, despite trusting them, Jax preferred to see foundations for himself.

And if he was honest…It had been too long since he visited the Witch Dimension.

Willow rarely left her Dimension, preferring to stay there. All of the Witches thrived in that plane, so aside from work, they rarely left.

It had been an extremely long time since Jax last went there, so he decided to return. He exhaled once, softly, “Time to check in.”

Jax expanded his senses and soon after immediately sensed a floating isolating space that he recognized as Willow’s Dimension.

Jax finally felt it, a ripple in space, a massive, floating drifting isolated space that he immediately could identify as Willow’s Dimension.

With that, Jax shifted through space, appearing on the edges of Willow’s Dimension, and creating a door to the Dimension, which he entered.

The Dimension was alive in a completely different way, much different than the first time he visited.

The sky shimmered in layered shades of twilight violet and deep emerald, streaked with drifting constellations that moved slowly even during daylight cycles.

Floating landmasses hovered between ancient trees whose trunks were wide enough to house entire libraries within their bark.

Bioluminescent fungi pulsed gently along forest floors.

Streams of liquid mana flowed visibly through carved channels in the earth, glowing softly like silver rivers.

Stone towers rose organically from root systems rather than foundations, spiraled, asymmetrical, grown rather than built.

The air smelled of herbs, rain, ink, and spellcraft, and woven through everything, Jax could sense a steady hum and layered incantations.

Jax landed on a wide stone platform suspended between three towering trees whose branches intertwined high above to form a natural canopy.

Jax walked around for a bit before finally spotting various Witches scattered throughout the space.

The moment they noticed him, everything stopped as they all recognized him, and they all ran over, Jax recognizing most of them from his last visit.

“King!”

“It’s Demon King Jax,”

“He’s finally back!”

Dozens of Witches ran over and immediately tried to cling to him, some hugging his arm, others leaning against his body, all of them eager to meet him once again.

The intense masculine scent of his body aroused all of them so much.

“It’s been a while ladies, however, I’ve come to meet Willow, I promise we’ll have fun later,” Jax said, returning some of the hugs as the various Witches let him go, returning to their tasks.

“See you later then,” they said in tandem, blowing kisses.

Jax continued walking through the Dimension, meeting various Witches along the way, until a familiar voice echoed lightly through the air.

“Well… that’s a presence I haven’t felt in a while.”

Willow emerged from between two twisting tree trunks as if she had simply stepped out of the bark itself.

Willow wore layered robes of deep forest green and midnight blue, embroidered with living vine patterns that subtly shifted and grew along the fabric. Her long dark hair flowed loosely down her back, interwoven with faintly glowing threads of mana that flickered like distant stars.

Her sharp, intelligent eyes immediately locked with Jax’s, a faint smile curving on her lips, “It’s been some time, Demon King.

“I’ve been quite busy y’know,” Jax muttered, and Willow gave a soft laugh.

“You tasked a-lot of Witches in my coven with working on that farming plan of yours,” She said, playfully tilting her head.

“Progress report,” Jax said, and she lifted a brow.

“No greeting? No ’how have you been, Willow’? I’m hurt,” She said, feigning sadness and putting a hand across her heart.

“Report first.” Jax said, leading Willow to stare at him for a couple seconds longer before laughing quietly.

“Very well.” She said.

Willow raised one hand, and the air between them shimmered into a rotating projection, not rigid and geometric like Sabrina’s displays, but fluid and organic.

The image showed the outer lands surrounding Aeternum Noctis.

But the soil layers were visible.

Mana flow channels glowed like branching veins.

“You were correct with your assumptions when we began this plan,” Willow said, “The land corruption wasn’t fundamentally destructive. It was unstable.”

She expanded the projection, “We’re choosing integration for this plan,”

A wave of her fingers shifted the visualization, “You see here? Instead of purifying the land completely, we introduced adaptive flora that harmonizes with ambient demonic mana rather than resisting it.”

The soil glowed steadily, “Stability has continuously improved. We’ll be planting and farming in no time Jax,”

“You exceeded projections.” Jax said.

“Yes,” she replied lightly. “We did.”

A faint glimmer of pride flickered across her expression.

“The dual cultivation model Sabrina implemented is clever. It compensates for mana flux cycles naturally.”

She lowered the projection.

With the report over, the duo began to walk through the Dimension together.

They crossed a suspended bridge woven from living branches and mana threads, leading toward the central coven grounds.

Witches moved through the environment in constant motion, some carrying bundles of enchanted herbs, others chanting in synchronized ritual circles, a few hovering mid-air while manipulating layered spell matrices.

As Jax passed, they paused respectfully. They all wanted to go up and greet him up close, but seeing Willow with him, they all held back and gave the duo their moment together, greeting them from afar.

“Demon King.”

“My King.”

“Welcome.”

Willow led him into a wide clearing where a dozen witches were currently weaving a layered environmental adjustment ritual, runes suspended in rotating rings while elemental spirits anchored themselves into crystalline pillars placed at cardinal points.

It was a new place that had been created since the last time he visited the Dimension, and he watched it alongside her for several minutes.

They eventually moved toward Willow’s central tower, a spiraled structure grown from ancient wood and reinforced with layered enchantments.

Inside, the atmosphere was calmer. Various books floated mid-air. Potion vials rotated slowly within suspended containment fields. Arcane diagrams covered the walls in layered chalk and glowing script.

Willow poured two cups of something steaming and fragrant. Jax didn’t bother asking what it was, just accepting it.

“You’ve changed,” she said quietly after a moment.

“How?”

“I guess your aura is firmer than before. You’ve been here for much longer after all,” Willow explained.

He considered that, “War clarifies things.”

“You’ve also changed, much more relaxed than the last time we talked,” Jax said and Willow nodded, sliding over and sitting directly next to him.

She leaned towards his ear and whispered, “Well after last time, it’s only natural I’m more relaxed around you Jax,”
