"I never would have guessed that his brother-in-law was actually King Lothar... No wonder he was so relaxed when he was exiled, saying things like 'Don't worry about me.'"

Yinla said with emotion, reminiscing about the changes in the world, "So many years have passed, and I feel that there are fewer and fewer familiar people. Before I left the Empire, I also felt that the people around me were gradually turning into middle-aged people."

Indeed, this is the tragedy caused by a short lifespan.

One day, Satan Leaf will slowly grow up, from a loli to a girl, then from a girl to a mature older sister, and then gradually grow bigger and more mature. Then, when her lifespan reaches a certain limit, she will suddenly age in a very short time...

Then he died, while Ira remained forever seventeen years old.

Although the Crimson Dragon has a very long lifespan... roughly tens of thousands of years, it is still relatively more likely to be killed.

Judging from the Demon King's territory, the insect people and harpies will probably be the first to reach the end of their lifespan... Their bodies, made of flesh and blood, have a lifespan of only about seven or eight hundred years.

But that's a long time... It's more likely he'll be killed before then.

"Middle-aged people... Mr. Yinra, you're destined not to live in a country of short-lived people~"

With these words of remark from Shirina, it was clear that "Ira, you made the right choice coming to our Demon King's territory." Ira agreed, nodding in response, "That's true."

Originally, Yinla was prepared to make some efforts for this... but now it's no longer necessary.

"Hey! Aren't you guys focusing on the wrong thing?!"

The leader of the Jiao people didn't hold back in her吐槽 (tu cao, a Chinese internet slang term for sarcastic or sarcastic remarks). Her shield, which had turned into a hairpin, and her sword, which had turned into a hairpin, seemed to share the same thought. She said, "The problem is, why does Yinla seem to have so many powerful acquaintances all over the world?"

"Let me think about it, based on what I know..."

The man extended his adorable, webbed hand, about a centimeter long, and while counting, said, "Our Prince Satanye, the Duchy's Novak councilor, the Queen of the Silvermoon Tree Court, and now King Lothar's path..."

As she was saying this, she thought for a moment and then added, "And I heard that you're still entangled with Empress Isabella of the Empire! Your connection with the [King] is too deep!"

"..."

"The phrase 'still connected even after being severed' is... that's really too much."

Yinla smiled helplessly, shaking his head as he tried to justify himself: "No matter what, Yinsabella was my former student, and... how could I have known that my former playmate would be King Lothar's brother-in-law?"

And if we're talking about kings, shouldn't we also include Yuse and Satan's father...?

"As for why my relationship with the King is so close..."

As Yinla said this, he pondered for a moment, then chuckled and pointed to himself, saying, "Perhaps it's because I'm a born, perfect, and dashing subject?"

Although it's not silver-haired, it doesn't stop time either.

However, even though that's how Inla defined herself, Satan Ye clearly had a different idea—[Mr. Inla, you seem more like a born king], that's what she originally wanted to say.

But... she still didn't say it.

It wasn't that she still wanted to be queen; if possible, it would be best to hand it over to someone more capable... However, Satan Ye inexplicably felt that Yinla didn't like to hear this, so she decided not to say it.

In this respect, Satan Ye's intuition surpassed that of a certain father and daughter.

(Euther's spirit in heaven: ...)

(Isabella: ...)

(To the spirit of Faviginho: Joy!)

"Thank you, Mr. Illa."

As Satan Ye said this, she looked at the stunned Yinla and lowered her head as he chuckled. She could clearly feel the warmth of Yinla's palm... Even for Mr. Yinla, she was determined to become the most perfect demon king.

To establish what Mr. Yinla described...

That one is so pretty...

"call……"

Yinla stroked Satan Leaf's head and said helplessly, "Actually, I was planning to find a way to go to the Celestial Realm and make Yuther immortal... but he was determined not to live anymore. I should have tried to persuade him."

“After he died, Isabella was still young, so I wasn’t in such a hurry. Now that I’ve left the Empire, I’m even less in a rush to find a way to live forever.”

The current Yimra gives off a rather terrifying feeling... as if lifespan and life itself are merely things that are "needed to be rushed" and "not needed to be rushed" in his eyes.

However, precisely because of this, even those as powerful as those outside the realm of reason have no desire to participate in the secular world. The limits of their power are too high, while the limits of the imagination of the people in this world are too low... so everything is meaningless.

Only when dreams are as magnificent as Yila's will one realize that mere strength is meaningless.

The people of the Demon King's territory also knew that, according to legend, drinking the holy spring water of the celestial realm could infinitely extend the lifespan of living beings, so... if they had enough power to obtain the spring water, then granting immortality to those who were not immortal would not be such a difficult thing.

Immortality is not a particularly difficult topic in this world... While the boundary between life and death is indeed difficult to cross, simply being immortal (completely demonized) or surviving again in another way (lich, black knight) is commonplace.

"Huff... Rest... Huff... Rest~"

"..."

Then, amidst the distinctly even breathing sounds in the room, everyone looked at Satan Ye, who was sitting between Illa and Sylina, her eyes closed and asleep, still in the position of being patted on the head.

Yinla shifted his position slightly, and Satan Ye slumped limply towards him...

Yinra caught Satan Ye and gently lifted him up, placing him on Sirina's back... on the bed in this room, being careful not to make too much noise.

"Your Highness the Demon King... you must have been very tired these past few days..."

"Let's sleep too," Shirina said softly, her eyes narrowing as she felt sleepy. Looking at Ira, who had stood up, she suggested, "Shall we go to sleep too?"

The reason she used "we" here is because this relatively nice hotel only had one room left, so the six of us booked just one room... It wasn't a big room, and it was really cramped for six people to sleep in it.

"This is my first time in Hazlosa. I'm planning to do some sightseeing tonight. Sweet dreams..."

As she said this, Yinla pushed open the door and walked out without hesitation.

...

"Pfft~"

The merman leader couldn't help but laugh out loud, and the other three also wore smiles...

"What an innocent-looking man! Is he some kind of protagonist from a chivalrous novel?"

The leader of the group complained, and his complaints were spot on...

The room was immediately filled with a joyful atmosphere.
