The Demon Palace, which had been deserted for a long time, was now brightly lit, because this was the first time that Mo Li had held a banquet in the Demon Palace since he ascended the throne. All the invited demons in the Demon City came to the Demon Palace early to attend the banquet. Because the banquet had not yet begun, many friendly demon families gathered in groups of two or three, carefully guessing the purpose of Mo Li's banquet in obscure language.
In fact, everyone had similar information. At the end of the discussion, everyone had a vague guess in their hearts that today's palace banquet might be related to the Ice Demon Clan who had just arrived in the Magic City.
The sky was finally plunged into complete darkness. Everyone took their seats and the sounds of stringed instruments gradually rose. Although no one looked unusual, they turned their heads from time to time to look at the empty main seat and the seats of the Ice Demon Clan, and their guesses were confirmed in their hearts.
After the two dance performances, the demons at the banquet felt a powerful aura approaching, so they all stood up and headed towards the entrance with respectful expressions.
After a few breaths, a sharp voice reached the ears of all the demons at the banquet: "The King has arrived—"
The demons recognized the voice of Mo Dafu, the chief eunuch of the Demon Palace, and they all knelt on one knee in the direction of the voice and performed the ritual of king and subject: "Greetings, Your Majesty—"
The demons' voices were loud, as if they were competing to see who could make the loudest sound. The demon candles specially lit to enhance the atmosphere beside the palace banquet started to tremble slightly, flickering and almost going out. Fortunately, the demon candles were of high quality and finally held firm.
All the demons at the banquet lowered their heads. After greeting the king, the banquet fell into silence. The only sound was the footsteps entering the hall.
The demons had sharp ears and could clearly hear the footsteps of Mo Li gradually approaching, passing their position, and then gradually moving away towards the main seat. This was normal, but what surprised everyone was that in addition to the footsteps of the King Mo Li and the steward Mo Dafu, there was also a very light footstep. Judging from the sound, the owner of the footsteps was near the King, even closer than Zhou Dafu.
Who... is this?
Although the demons were filled with doubts, they only dared to turn their kneeling bodies slowly according to the sound of Mo Li's footsteps. However, no demon dared to raise their eyes to observe and satisfy their curiosity before Mo Li opened his mouth, because such behavior might be regarded as a provocation by Mo Li, and they would not be able to escape death, which was not worth it at all.
Finally, the sound of footsteps at the banquet finally disappeared at the top, and Mo Li's voice came over: "All demon ministers, rise."
After Mo Li finished speaking, all the demons at the banquet stood up and sat back in their seats slowly. They could finally look at Mo Li, who was sitting at the head of the table, openly.
The Demon King was still the same Demon King as before, except that there was a beautiful female demon by his side. Most of them knew this female demon. She was the only daughter of the Ice Demon Clan's Demon General - Mo Baibai.
At this moment, Mo Baibai's hand was held tightly by the Demon King. Although the Demon King still had the same expressionless face as before, the careful Demon could still notice something different - the Demon King was in a very good mood!
"My Lords, I have an announcement to make." Mo Li suddenly smiled. Noticing everyone below was looking at him, he used his magical powers to loudly declare, "In three days, I will marry Bai Bai. She will be the Demon Queen of the Demon Realm from now on!"
After these words were spoken, the banquet fell into an eerie silence again. This time, it seemed that even the sound of breathing was gone.
"What's the matter? Do you have any objections?" Mo Li's tone turned cold, and the powerful demonic pressure once again swept across the entire hall, causing many demons with low cultivation in the hall to kneel on the ground instantly.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty!" A clever demon immediately spoke out, and the other demon generals also came to their senses at this time and congratulated him one after another. Only then did the pressure from Mo Li gradually subside.
Yan Baibai looked puzzled. In the scene just now, Mo Li was too much like a tyrant who ignored the opposition of the court officials and wanted to make a woman the queen. With this kind of personality, he would definitely be pulled down from the throne by the dissatisfied court officials in the end. But she knew that in the eyes of everyone in the demon world, she was Mo Baibai who was engaged to Mo Li. The reaction of those demon officials just now was not opposition, but that the news came too suddenly and they had not had time to react yet.
So Mo Li's outburst of power just now seemed a bit violent. It seemed that he could not tolerate any questioning of this marriage.
Who could guarantee that if Mo Li hadn't let out this display of power, someone wouldn't be so blind as to ask why he was so anxious to get married? Perhaps the other person was simply confused, but Mo Li was definitely upset, and he didn't bother to explain too much.
Half a minute later, under the arrangement of Mo Dafu, the music and dancing resumed, and the atmosphere in the hall returned to a happy state. Although the demons were extremely shocked and confused in their hearts, they did not show it on their faces.
The demons had made many assumptions about the purpose of this palace banquet, but they had never considered that the King was simply informing them that he was marrying the Demon Queen, and at such a short notice...
The demons felt that there must be some hidden secret behind this that they didn't know. The Demon King had been active for two years since he returned to the Demon Realm, but he seemed to have no idea about marriage. After all, many demons had sent female demons to the king. Although their looks were indeed slightly inferior to Mo Baibai's, they were indeed beauties rarely seen in the Demon Realm, but those female demons were all rejected by the Demon King.
Any demon with even a little ambition would want to seize the position of Demon Queen.
The king already has a fiancée?
Ridiculous! Who among the aristocratic families didn't know that the old Demon King had forced that engagement on Mo Li, then a young master? Who also didn't know that General Mo Bing had coaxed that engagement out of the old Demon King? Who also didn't know that, whether a thousand years ago or a thousand years later, Mo Li had essentially ignored his fiancée?
