Yun Che turned back at full speed. When he returned to the Demon King's Palace, the Little Demon Queen was no longer there. Only a few royal maids were quietly cleaning. When they saw Yun Che coming in, they quickly put down what they were doing and knelt down to greet him. The news that the Little Demon Queen was going to marry him had been announced to the world, and Yun Che's status was no longer the same as before.
“Where’s the Little Demon Queen?” Yun Che stepped forward and asked.
“Master Yun, the Little Demon Queen returned to her bedroom not long after you left.” The maid at the front said respectfully.
Yun Che then turned around, floated up, and flew straight to the Little Demon Queen’s bedroom.
There was no sound in the Little Demon Queen's bedroom. She stood silently in front of the window, as quiet as a lifeless jade doll. After returning from the Demon King's Palace, she had been standing here, maintaining this posture for a long, long time.
A breath came from far away, approaching the bedroom quickly. When it approached, it did not carefully slow down or restrain its breath. The Little Demon Queen frowned, but immediately, she recognized the owner of the breath. The words that were about to come out were swallowed, and she did not turn around. She did not move at all, only her crystal-like eyes trembled for a moment.
Throughout the entire Illusory Demon Realm, the only person who dared to go straight into the Little Demon Queen’s bedroom was Yun Che… If it were someone else, even if they dared, they would be burned to ashes by the Little Demon Queen before they even got close.
Yun Che did not deliberately slow down his steps, but walked straight in. This was the bedroom of the Illusion Demon Emperor, but it was extremely simple, without any "luxury" at all, not even as good as the boudoir of an ordinary rich girl. It was so cold that it made people subconsciously hold their breath when they walked in.
This was not the first time that Yun Che had barged in without notifying anyone. However, each time there were only two possible outcomes: one was that he was blasted out by the Little Demon Queen before entering, and the other was that he was blasted out by the Little Demon Queen right after entering.
But this time, the Little Demon Queen standing in front of the bamboo window was silent, leaving Yun Che with only her delicate and petite back, as if she had not noticed his arrival at all.
Yun Che stood at the door of the palace, silently watching her back, but never waited for her voice or her turning back. In the air, he vaguely smelled the breath of loneliness and sadness, which made his heart and soul slightly ache. He took a step and slowly walked towards the Little Demon Queen...
He walked up to the back of the Little Demon Queen, then opened his arms, wrapped them around her waist, and gently held her against his chest...
The Little Demon Queen's entire body trembled violently...
The grey robe was very large, but her body was extremely thin. Especially her slender waist, which was like a willow swaying in the wind. Not to mention Yun Che's arms, even her hands could be easily closed.
However, before Yun Che could even feel the warmth of the girl’s body in his arms, a tremendous force hit his chest.
BANG!!
With a loud bang, Yun Che’s body was instantly blown away like a cannonball, his back slamming hard against the wall, shaking the entire bedroom.
“You, you, you, you… Could you please not be so cruel!!” Yun Che brushed off the dust and broken jade on his body, stood up tremblingly, and took a deep breath of cold air.
Over the past hundred years, the Little Demon Queen had already developed a strong sense of self-defense. It was completely her instinctive reaction to blast Yun Che away… Although she regretted it the moment she blasted Yun Che away, the Little Demon Queen still forced herself to turn cold and said in a deep voice, “You are asking for trouble! If it were someone else who dared to offend me like this, they would have died tens of thousands of times! Humph!”
“Hey! How can I be the same as ‘others’? I’m going to be your husband soon, and you announced that you wanted to marry me yourself! Can’t I even hug you?” Yun Che said angrily.
Perhaps because she felt that she was in the wrong, the Little Demon Queen turned away and said in a cold and hard tone, "Why did you come back again?"
Yun Che finally brushed off the dust on his body and said with an innocent look, “I came back only to tell you that I am willing to obey your wishes and marry you and join your demon royal family.”
The Little Demon Queen's eyes suddenly turned and asked, "Are you serious?"
“Of course I’m serious.” Yun Che’s expression began to look a little aggrieved. “Just now in the Demon King’s Palace, I didn’t think too much because of my instinctive rejection. After I went back and calmed down, I realized that you are far more important to me than my so-called dignity as a man. If I don’t even have the courage to shoulder the responsibility of the family with you for the sake of my ridiculous self-esteem, then I don’t have the qualifications... to be your husband.”
"..." The Little Demon Queen looked at him for a long time without saying a word. After a moment, she turned her face away and looked out the window with a hazy look in her eyes: "Thank you."
If it were any other man in the Illusory Demon Realm, if he could win the favor of the Little Demon Queen, he would be willing to join the Demon King clan, and even if his entire clan had to change their surname to “Huan”, he would be ecstatic... But she knew that Yun Che was different. He was a man who did not show any fear or retreat even when facing the Golden Crow Spirit. How could he covet her title of the Illusory Demon King clan?
His concession is too precious.
“Hahaha,” Yun Che laughed loudly, “You announced to the world in person that I will soon be your husband, so why should you thank me… But, facing your future husband, you are still as ruthless as before… It’s okay that my body hurts, but my heart hurts even more, hiss…”
“…” The Little Demon Queen’s lips moved. Although she knew very well that the Yun family’s tone, expression, and the act of sucking in air were all fake, it was a fact that she had ruthlessly blasted Yun Che away, and she couldn’t help but feel a little guilty in her heart.
"I'm very sad now, so...if you want me to join your demon king clan, you must agree to an additional condition!"
"…What conditions?"
Yun Che narrowed his eyes slightly and said very seriously: "It's very simple... Let me hold you for a while - right now."
“…” If Yun Che had said such words at ordinary times, he would definitely have been slapped away by the Little Demon Queen. However, as she announced that she would marry Yun Che in seven days, the originally delicate relationship between the two of them also changed qualitatively with this step that she took with all her courage and will. If they were husband and wife, hugging each other would be the most normal thing, not to mention…
“I… am not used to being touched by others.” The Little Demon Queen’s eyes were dodging, and even her voice was no longer cold and hard.
“That was someone else… but I am not someone else.” Yun Che walked towards her. As he approached step by step, he could feel the Little Demon Queen’s breathing becoming disordered bit by bit. “I know that over the years, you have been under tremendous pressure every day, and every breath, you have to be alert to the crisis that may come at any time. Therefore, your self-defense awareness has long been so strong that it has almost become an instinct. You shook me away just now… I also know that it must not be intentional.”
Yun Che’s understanding was not just talk, but he truly knew it in his heart. Because during those years in Cangyun Continent, his situation was many times more dangerous than that of the Little Demon Queen. He also had the Little Demon Queen’s defensive instinct, and to some extent, it was much stronger than that of the Little Demon Queen… Even now, even in the safest Yun Family, he would always only sleep 70% of the time.
"But I will be your husband soon, and from now on, I will be you... the other half of Huan Caiyi's life. I am willing to face everything with you, bear everything with you, and will always be good to you. I will try my best to enter your world, and you will never need to be on guard against me... I am also the only person in this world who can hug you."
"Just like when we were in the Golden Crow Thunder Flame Valley... At that time, we faced the Ming King together. I held you in my arms and we fell into the Sea of Death together. At that time, you clung to me tightly, without rejecting me or trying to break free... Because at that time, our fates were closely linked. We lived together and died together... This fate between us was linked not only for that short month in the Sea of Death, but also from now on... forever."
Unconsciously, Yun Che's voice was close to her ears. A pair of arms, in the gentle sound, slowly wrapped around her slender waist, and her back was pressed against a warm chest... This time, the Little Demon Queen did not struggle at all, and even her body did not stiffen for a moment. Her thoughts, along with Yun Che's voice, returned to the month of tightly hugging each other in the Sea of Death... Slowly, she realized that she was being gently held by Yun Che, but her body did not release the instinctive rejection, and her heart did not... There was only a feeling of warmth that made her body and soul slowly soften.
The body in his arms seemed to be that of a young girl... almost even smaller than Jasmine. The chill that emanated from her body was no longer that of an icy coldness, but a gentle and slightly flustered girlish aura.
Even though they had made love countless times in the Golden Crow Thunder Flame Valley, he could only hold her quietly like this... until today, he finally got what he wanted.
Yun Che closed his eyes and said with a satisfied smile: “You suddenly announced that you wanted to marry me today. I was indeed surprised, but I was more surprised. It seems that I was really lucky that I ‘scolded’ you that day... Otherwise, if you insisted on rejecting me and I didn’t have the ability to take you away by force, I might really regret it for the rest of my life.”
Little Demon Queen: “…”
“From now on, you will no longer be alone. I will shoulder all the responsibilities with you.” Yun Che said softly, “Back then in the Golden Crow Thunder Flame Valley, I risked my life to save you for the sake of my family and grandfather’s legacy, but from now on… I will only marry you because you are my wife. Although I am still too weak now, I will work hard to grow, to the point where you can rely on me with peace of mind, and no longer have to bear any pressure or danger… Trust me, okay?”
“It…begins…again… And there are so many idiotic women who want to be fooled by this pervert!” Jasmine muttered hatefully in Yun Che’s mind, then snorted coldly and simply blocked her hearing.
The Little Demon Queen had never heard such words in her life. An extremely strange and indescribable feeling spread in her heart, soul, and body... It was as if her mind and body were melting. Slowly, she felt her body getting softer and softer, and finally she almost lost all her strength. She leaned her entire body weight completely on the man behind her, and a barely audible moan escaped from her lips: "Hmm..."
"After you become my wife, I will call you Caiyi, okay?"
"……Um……"
Yun Che closed his arms and made the girl in his arms press closer to him: “From now on, let me hold you like this every day, okay?”
"……Um……"
"Don't worry. From now on, your life is my life. Your three-year destiny... Even if it is a statement made by God, I will break it at all costs. So, during these three years, you must not believe that you really only have three years left to live. Instead, you must believe that I will definitely find a miracle to break the so-called three-year destiny... Just like we can come out alive from the sea of fire, okay..."
Yun Che whispered softly in the Little Demon Queen's ear. Although it was soft, every word was firm and decisive. He felt the increasingly soft body in his arms, and his hands slowly moved upwards, covering her slightly raised breasts at the same time. His palms suddenly felt soft and tender. Although there were two layers of thin clothes between them, they were still as tender and smooth as if they were smeared with sweet spring water. Two small buds timidly pressed against his palms, making him unable to help but close his palms and gently rub them.
Boom!!!
The three maids from the Demon Queen's palace were walking towards them with laughter and joy. What they were talking about was naturally the marriage between the Little Demon Queen and Yun Che. As the people closest to the Little Demon Queen, they had long been aware of and guessed the subtle feelings between the Little Demon Queen and Yun Che. Before they even got close to the palace, they suddenly heard a thunderous roar from the front. A figure flew out with the roar, and then fell fiercely in front of them, shocking them all and screaming.
When they saw who was in front of them, the three maids laughed at the same time. The maid in red at the front stepped forward and said with a smile: "Master Yun, how come you were kicked out by the Little Demon Queen again?"
“Hehe…” The other two maids both covered their lips and laughed. Although they were just maids, Yun Che never treated them with any airs. Instead, he addressed them as “sisters”, which made them feel even better and respectful towards Yun Che, and they never had to be cautious.
Yun Che stood up from the ground, wiped the dust off his face, and said seriously: “Three sisters, have you noticed that the Little Demon Queen has been getting lighter and lighter on me?”
"Really? In the past, Master Yun would be blasted more than ten miles away, but this time..." The red-dressed maid's beautiful eyes flickered, and she tried hard to hold back her laughter and said, "It seems to be only half a mile away."
“Because Young Master Yun is about to become the Little Demon Queen’s husband, the Little Demon Queen will certainly not be willing to use too much force on him.” The blue-clothed maid chuckled.
“Ahem… I am a man of seven feet tall, and I am too lazy to argue with a woman. When she becomes my wife, if she dares to be so disobedient again, even if she is the Little Demon Queen… she will be punished by the family rules!” Yun Che said with great vigor. After he finished speaking, he glanced in the direction of the bedroom with a guilty look, and then waved his hand and said, “Three sisters, I have something else to do at home, so I will excuse myself first… Oh, Sister Yuyi, your breasts seem to have grown bigger again!”
“Swoosh…”
Yun Che let out a lewd laugh before disappearing without a trace.
"Hmph... Hateful!" The girl in red subconsciously covered her chest with her arms, blushing and grumbling. The other two maids were already laughing... Obviously, they had been used to being teased by Yun Che for a long time.
——————————————
The news that the Little Demon Queen would marry Yun Che, the young master of the Yun Family, spread throughout the Illusory Demon Realm through countless sound transmission notes in just one day. In the face of such great news, the extremely precious Thousand Mile and Ten Thousand Mile Sound Transmission Notes were worthless. It is estimated that the number of sound transmission notes consumed in this day was more than that used in the past ten years combined.
Of course, at Yun Che’s urging, along with this shocking news, Yun Che was granted the pure Golden Crow bloodline by the Golden Crow Spirit. The union of the two was for the pure Golden Crow bloodline, and was also the continuation of the Demon King clan... and it was also the will of the Golden Crow Spirit!
As a result, the noise, arguments and doubts that should have occurred did not appear, and the only sounds that filled the entire Fantasy Demon Realm were all kinds of praise and exclamations.
However, for those local overlords, this news was like a fire burning on their butts.
"What... seven... seven days later!! Are you kidding me! Quick... quick, go and send a message to confirm if you heard it wrong!!"
"What... is it really seven days later... damn!!"
"City Lord, what should we do now?"
“What should I do?! Immediately prepare the best Xuanzhou and the best Xuanjing… set off in an hour… no!! In half an hour… go quickly!! The little demon queen… or the wedding gifted by the Golden Crow Saint God! If I can’t make it in time, I won’t be able to stay in the Illusory Demon Realm anymore!”
"This... preparing gifts..."
"There's no time left to prepare! Go to the treasure house right now and bring all the best treasures and medicinal herbs... Take as many as you can! Go now!"
………………
The same scene was played out frequently in various places in the Illusory Demon Realm, especially in places far away from the Demon King City. As the news spread quickly, the entire Illusory Demon Realm was in a frenzy. The mysterious boats that were rarely seen on weekdays kept whizzing through the sky. Even the most stingy and reluctant to spend energy crystals on weekdays would like to put all their savings into the mysterious boat to make it fly faster.
The Demon King City was bustling day and night, with the twelve families and hundreds of royal palaces all busying around, hardly ever stopping for a moment.
Unconsciously, seven days had passed quietly. The Demon King City was getting busier and busier day by day, and even the color had changed dramatically. The whole city was decorated with lights and red carpets, and the golden color that symbolized the Golden Crow's flame filled every corner. From the distant sky, the huge Demon King City, which was originally shrouded in pale white, had become golden.
