Chapter 163: The Forbearing Demon King
"Phantom, let’s get one thing straight: I am the mighty Demon Emperor. How could I possibly associate with others as equals? Get me a cleaner batch!"
Whether it’s used by others or others using them, there’s no difference to Lynn. He’s not some pushover who’d allow a Grey Wolf to snatch sheep over his head.
"But... please don’t make things difficult for your subordinate, Demon Emperor. Though I dare not claim to be a virtuous demon, I absolutely wouldn’t present underage Enchanting Demons to you..."
At this moment, the Lust Demon King would rather humbly address herself as a subordinate than do something that grosses her out.
It’s well known that Enchanting Demons are not a rule-following species; they don’t wait until adulthood to showcase their racial traits. Most of them have tasted the forbidden fruit early on, and if Lynn insists on clean Enchanting Demons, then he would have to choose from the very young, underage ones.
In the eyes of the Human Race, the Demon Race is indeed a bunch of troublemakers, but Phantom Triss is not; she has her own principles and will never bow down to this vile Demon Emperor.
"Who the heck asked for underage ones! If you want me dead, just say so – my little heart can’t take it..."
Lynn was annoyed by Phantom’s thoughtless tribute, but as soon as he heard her reason for refusal, he jumped right up from his seat.
What kind of international joke is this! Is someone underage even doable?
Lynn doesn’t claim to be a model youth with five virtues and four beauties, but he’s definitely not a scum of society. Gambling, drugs, and underage are absolutely off-limits.
His menu doesn’t include young girls or lolis; unless it’s those with the eternal youth of legal age, he wouldn’t touch underage ones even if it cost him his life.
"You all step aside now, the Demon Emperor is not satisfied with you. What are you standing here for?"
At this point, Phantom turned to dismiss the three Enchanting Demons she brought along. The trio froze for a moment; they’d never been returned before. But since the Demon King had spoken, they dared not linger.
The methods of this person are terrifying, especially towards Enchanting Demons. She absolutely would punish them with a year-long celibacy – how could they survive...
It’s a pity, really, missing the chance to serve the Demon Emperor. Although he’s not overly handsome, he’s still the Demon Realm Emperor. Who wouldn’t want to climb up that high branch?
Eh...
Speaking of climbing high branches, the Demon King chased them away, leaving herself alone with the Demon Emperor. Now if the Demon Emperor wants clean Enchanting Demons, isn’t the Demon King herself just that?
Though she’s only half Enchanting Demon, excluding technique, purely on beauty and figure, the Demon King is the ultimate among contemporary Enchanting Demons. No Enchanting Demon dares to challenge her in these aspects – not even her seven Joyful Witches.
My goodness, has the Demon King finally seen the light? Or perhaps...
No wonder she’s kept her body pure until now; she must have consulted the Prophet!
She’s been waiting for today! A chance to become the Demon Realm Empress amidst the chaos!
Even though she has Enchanting Demon blood, she’s fearful of male charms like a tiger. Such a situation is quite peculiar.
Now, it seems the Demon King is extraordinarily patient, worthy of the ancestral bloodline she shares!
Is the Lust Demon Kingdom finally rising? They’ve been at the bottom of the Seven Great Demon Kingdoms for far too long, now they’ve finally glimpsed hope for ascent!
Though such hope comes from the Demon King exchanging her body, isn’t this par for the course for the demons of Lust Demon Kingdom?
...
If only Phantom knew what the three dismissed Enchanting Demons were thinking, otherwise she’d definitely educate them thoroughly, imposing a hundred-year celibacy wouldn’t even be considered harsh.
"Your Human Race’s rich merchants and nobles are full of such tastes, and the Demon Emperor having such a fetish isn’t surprising. Don’t think we demons lack intelligence systems."
As the Enchanting Demons departed, Phantom muttered quietly as if she didn’t want Lynn to hear, yet had a slight fear he might miss it.
"Don’t compare me with those kinds of people. Why don’t you inquire about my deeds in the Celestial Destiny Empire? I, Lynn, utterly loathe those subhuman scum!"
Lynn loudly protested, determined to distinguish himself from some pseudo-human entities. He’s nothing like those guys.
"Yes, yes, I know, in the Celestial Destiny Empire, you’re the hero everyone praises – a guardian of civilians and examiner for the nobles."
Phantom nodded promptly in agreement, she’s well aware of Lynn’s past actions in the Celestial Destiny Empire. If it weren’t for the Light Judge’s arrival, forcing them to withdraw all spies, they might know even more.
"Since you know I’m so glorious and righteous, how could you doubt I have such thoughts?"
A guardian of civilians and examiner for the nobles, Phantom summarized it pretty well, resonating with him far better than the netizens he previously encountered in comment sections.
They only knew how to shout "Whoa" and "Awesome," or "Whoa! Awesome!"...
"Because you have two little lolis at home calling you daddy..."
Phantom whispered again, truly fearing Lynn might hear her this time.
"Those are my two daughters! Just as dear as flesh and blood! What on earth are you thinking, whoa!"
Upon hearing this, Lynn slammed the table in anger, glaring at Phantom like he wanted to swallow her whole.
Phantom felt her heart flutter under Lynn’s gaze, suddenly overwhelmed by his menacing presence like being watched by a ferocious wolf.
As the Lust Demon King, exceptionally stunning, she’s grown accustomed to looks like Lynn’s that threaten to devour her alive, yet only Lynn’s gaze has ever given her such a vague sense of danger.
Perhaps it’s because only he possesses the strength to forcibly claim her?
But would he do so? Isn’t he supposed to be the model hero of the Light Church Court? Even if he has an affinity for pretty women, he should do so honorably... right?
"Y-yes... Subordinate misinterpreted the Demon Emperor’s intentions; please continue with your affairs, I’ll take my leave now."
Phantom didn’t dare linger around Lynn anymore, fearing she might inadvertently stir up trouble, without any magic energy to help her. Knowing Lynn’s strength, even united with her seven sisters, they’d be no match.
"Wait! Before you leave, clarify: those three thousand Enchanting Demons you promised, they’re not all of this sort, are they?"
Phantom, ready to make her exit, wouldn’t be forcefully stopped by Lynn, but before she leaves, Lynn demands clarity on the prior rewards. He has a hunch this woman might try to freeload him, making him work unpaid or as a slave...
