Chapter 164: Touched by a Man!!!
"How... how is that possible, ah haha, Demon Emperor, don’t worry, next time you come, I will definitely make proper arrangements for you."
Called back by Lynn for such questioning, Phantom felt like her forehead was about to break out in a cold sweat, but she had to maintain composure to avoid being seen through by Lynn.
If it really doesn’t work out, she might as well send two or three Joyful Witches to his side. They are all top-notch enchanting demons, except for lacking experience, they’re definitely exquisite beauties.
"Couldn’t you pick out five hundred... three hundred enchanting demons that meet my requirements from three thousand?"
Lynn had heard of the reputation of enticing demons, so from the beginning he didn’t hope for the full three thousand, but even if nine-tenths of them are inauthentic, he should at least be able to select three hundred, right?
"Highly unlikely..."
Phantom stammered, thinking Lynn was being ambitious without understanding what kind of race enticing demons are, how could there be up to ten percent clean ones?
"How about one hundred?"
Lynn frowned and continued to probe.
"Highly unlikely."
Phantom wiped away her cold sweat and told the truth.
"Are you going to tell me you can’t even gather ten?"
By this time, Lynn was no longer angry because anger requires warmth, and his heart was already cold as ice.
"Ah! Your Majesty, don’t ask anymore. Truth is, there’s just seven and a half, not even half more!"
Seeing Lynn’s gaze shift from disappointment to despair, Phantom feared he might do something terrible in his grief and fury, so she was honest with the biggest number she could muster, disregarding her loyal sisters and even herself.
A minute ago, she thought about sacrificing two or three sisters to appease him. After all, with the abilities of enticing demons, if three sisters thoroughly invested their efforts, they could hardly exhaust him but at least deplete him of many thoughts.
But she dared not now, feeling Lynn was about to change color, becoming almost gray. If she tried to deceive or trick him here, she would likely meet a tragic fate.
"Just seven and a half enchanting demons, and you’re asking me to climb mountains and cross oceans for you!?"
Upon hearing the precise number down to half, Lynn threw a little tantrum. Though not greedy, going from three thousand to seven and a half seemed too much. I mean, it’s not just about enticing demons; buying a phone priced at 3000 yuan only to receive a 7.5 postage phone model — anyone would complain about unethical merchants!
"Aren’t these tasks not too difficult for you? Besides, it’s not seven and a half, mostly four... most seven, and I’m the half, seriously can’t give more."
Phantom murmured in attempts to bargain, but seeing Lynn’s heart-wrenching gaze, she backed down.
She truly wasn’t adept at dealing with men; if it were the arrogant big sister, she could probably face this with a deadpan expression, excelling in negotiation.
"Trying to use just seven enchanting demons for me, aren’t I too cheap! Hmph! I’m leaving now, won’t come back next time!"
Lynn threw down a line and, after speaking, took out a Demon Mirror, preparing to use it to directly teleport back to the Miracle World.
"Your Majesty, wait! Why not first take a look at the merch?"
Seeing Lynn about to leave, Phantom became flustered. Despite also being a Demon King, she should be composed. Yet, Lynn’s involvement directly impacts the entire plan of the seven sisters, where any problem could mean the end of their hopes, possibly even their own survival.
So Phantom decided to risk it. After all, the plans of the Demon King Seven Sisters and the entire Demon Realm’s future weigh more. In such a state, the attractive demons must be sacrificed; if their demise could exchange for peace between realms and a beautiful Demon Realm future, they would die inscrutable!
"See what goods?"
Lynn poked his head back, resembling a frequent offender pretending to leave after reporting a price.
"Look, I assure satisfaction, these seven sisters might not compare to the shock of three thousand enticing demons, but quality-wise, they’re beyond 99.99% of the enticing demons on the market. Check it out..."
Phantom brought out a Memory Stone, similar to cameras in the Miracle World, mainly used for photographing.
Though its function doesn’t match a professional camera, holding minimal memory, it can accommodate only 100 still images or 20 one-minute dynamic images, if a combination is made, it would occupy even more from the memory.
The Memory Stone Phantom brought now is mixed-use. Lynn didn’t care about technicalities but rather what Phantom planned to show.
He saw Phantom operate on the Memory Stone for a while, meticulously selecting 21 photos.
Of the 21 photos, there were seven enchanting demons, each with three photos from different angles, yet all possessed a common trait — extreme beauty and allure.
No doubt, Phantom wasn’t boasting. In terms of Lynn’s aesthetics, these seven enticing demons were truly beyond critique, outcompeting the past three so-called exquisite enticing demons she brought, not even on the same level.
Phantom really wasn’t a good person, hiding such quality, preferring to trick him with lesser things; had he not been savvy, he might have been fooled!
"I want them all! If there’s even one missing, I won’t come!"
Lynn pointed to these photographs, making an exaggerated fist gesture indicative that Phantom should not shortchange a single one; she must tribute them all.
"This... okay, I agree."
Phantom pretended to hesitate before agreeing, not wanting to act too quickly but needing to feign a bit since there was no more bargaining room. Any further dissatisfaction from Lynn might just mean it would backfire on her.
"That’s more like it, Phantom comrade, I am counting on you."
Lynn nodded gratified, reaching to pat Phantom’s shoulder as encouragement.
Yet, caught off guard by his sudden patting, Phantom was stunned right there.
She was actually touched by a man!!!
A flood of psychological discomfort surged through her heart, her goosebumps kicking in... wait, why weren’t there any?
In normal circumstances, even brushed accidentally with layers between them by a male demon, Phantom would experience dual psychological and physiological discomfort, triggering extreme emotions, turning her into Furious Demon King’s twin intent on tearing everything apart.
Yet Lynn touched her just now, separated by merely three layers of clothes, still no goosebumps, let alone an emotional breakdown...
This Lynn...
Seems unusual...
