In an instant, countless praises flooded in like a tidal wave.
Facing the enthusiastic crowd, Chu Yu smiled and said calmly, "You flatter me. I am an employee of the Underworld and a metaphysician in the human world. It is my responsibility to maintain peace between the Demon Realm and the human world. This is what I should do."
Seeing her humility, everyone's goodwill towards her soared.
One of them asked curiously, "Miss Chu Yu, we'd like to know, how did you save the Demon Lord's family back then?"
Others also became curious: "We all want to know, there have been several versions circulating in the Demon Realm recently, and no one knows which version is the real one."
Chu Yu was embarrassed. Had the news of her saving the Demon Lord's family spread throughout the entire Demon Realm so quickly?
Seeing them staring at her expectantly, Chu Yu could only briefly recount what had happened, skipping over some private details.
Everyone was amazed after hearing this.
"I see. Miss Chu Yu is truly resourceful and clever."
Everyone praised Chu Yu to the skies again.
Jiang Huai'an and Tao Susu, standing to the side, looked proud.
Junior sister/Master is really amazing!
During the conversation, a master of ceremonies entered from outside and shouted loudly, "The ceremony is about to begin. Gentlemen, please return to your positions."
The crowd then dispersed and stood in neat rows.
Chu Yu and the other two were led to the front by the master of ceremonies.
When the time came, a loud drumbeat resounded outside the palace, and the master of ceremonies shouted: "The Demon Lord's Reinstatement Ceremony begins! Please invite the Demon Lord, the Demon Queen, and the Little Prince to the hall!"
Before the words were finished, the Demon Lord and his family of three entered from outside the door, and everyone immediately knelt down and bowed: "Greetings, Demon Lord, Demon Queen, and Crown Prince!"
The Demon Lord led the Demon Queen by the hand and strode over.
The two were dressed in black and red imperial robes, solemn and magnificent, exuding an aura of majesty and authority.
Yuanbao also changed into a gorgeous black and red vest. He flapped his little wings and followed behind his parents with a proud look, looking very impressive.
The Demon Lord and his family ascended to their high positions. After taking their seats, the Demon Lord waved his hand and shouted, "Rise!"
The officials then stood up and stood properly.
The official in charge of ceremonies held an imperial edict, first rebuking the Left Wise King and his traitorous followers for their crimes, and then praising the loyal subordinates who died protecting the Demon Lord.
Then, as was customary, the rewarding of merits began, and the officials whose names were called stepped forward to receive their titles and rewards.
After the officials of the Demon Realm finished giving their rewards, the Demon Lord summoned Chu Yu and said to her gratefully, "Miss Chu Yu, thanks to your help, our family of three was able to safely overcome this calamity. You have made the greatest contribution. If you don't mind, I will appoint you as the Right Wise King, second only to me in the Demon Realm."
Chu Yu was shocked; the Demon Lord had actually appointed her as the Right Wise King!
She immediately refused: "Your Majesty, I am but a mortal, unworthy of such a great responsibility. You have already given me a demon pearl as payment, which is considered payment. There is no need to reward me further."
She did those things primarily to maintain peace between the demon realm and the human world, without intending to ask for any reward from them.
The Demon Queen understood what Chu Yu was thinking and turned to the Demon Lord, saying, "Chu Yu is easygoing, carefree, and free-spirited. She is also an employee of the Underworld and a metaphysician in the human world. The Right Wise King of the Demon Realm is not suitable for her, so let's reward her with something else."
The Demon Queen looked at Chu Yu with tender eyes and asked with a smile, "I feel that we get along quite well. I would like to recognize you as my sworn sister. What do you think?"
Chu Yu's eyes lit up. Being the Demon Queen's adopted sister seemed better than being the Right Wise King, and she also quite liked the Demon Queen. She readily agreed: "I think it's feasible."
The Demon Queen was delighted: "Since you are willing, let us now, in front of all the civil and military officials, swear an oath of brotherhood, and from now on call each other sisters, sharing joys and sorrows, with a high five as our vow."
The Demon Queen rose and flew to her, giving her a high five in front of everyone, and they became sworn sisters.
The officials offered their congratulations to the two.
Yuanbao flew over and happily said to Chu Yu, "Then I can't call you Sister Chu anymore, I'll call you Auntie."
Chu Yu patted his little head and smiled gently: "Okay."
Jiang Huai'an and Tao Susu were both excited. Chu Yu had become the Demon Queen's adopted sister, which meant they could now roam freely in the Demon Realm.
The Demon Lord raised an eyebrow and smiled, then had the master of ceremonies present Chu Yu with a token: "This is a pass to the Demon Realm. With this, you can move freely throughout the Demon Realm. If you encounter any difficulties, seek help from the people of the Demon Realm, and they will all help you."
Chu Yu accepted the token and respectfully thanked him, saying, "Thank you, Demon Lord."
After the grand ceremony came a banquet, where the Demon Lord and Demon Queen drank and feasted with the civil and military officials.
After they had eaten and drunk their fill, Yuanbao came to Chu Yu and said with a smile, "Auntie, I have another surprise for you. Now come with me."
Chu Yu became interested and, along with Jiang Huai'an and Tao Susu, followed Yuanbao out of the banquet hall and came to the door.
The carriage they had used to arrive was parked opposite them. After getting into the carriage, the official drove it at breakneck speed toward the palace gate.
Jiang Huai'an asked curiously, "Yuanbao, where are you taking us?"
Yuanbao sat in Chu Yu's lap, looking mysterious: "You'll know when we get there."
The carriage sped out of the palace gates and raced through the streets. Before long, it arrived in front of a mansion.
"Ta-da! We've arrived!"
After the carriage stopped, Yuanbao flew out of Chu Yu's arms, pointed to the plaque above the mansion gate, and excitedly said, "Look!"
The three looked at the plaque and saw two large characters written on it: Chu Mansion.
The Chu residence?!
Chu Yu realized something and asked in surprise, "Is this a house for me?"
"That's right! Now that you're my mother's adopted sister, you naturally need a home in the Demon Realm. This is a house that my mother and I found for you after discussing it together. Now come in and have a look with me."
Chu Yu was pleasantly surprised.
Unexpectedly, the Demon Queen and Yuanbao had prepared a house for her.
That's so thoughtful!
The three followed Yuanbao into the house, which was very large and was an antique garden-style building with pavilions, terraces, gardens and corridors, etc. It was exquisite and grand.
Yuanbao excitedly explained, "This house is not far from the Demon Palace, located in the center of the Demon Capital. The land price is extremely high, it's practically worth its weight in gold. This used to be Mother's private property, but now it's being given to Auntie."
Chu Yu quickly thanked her, "Thank you very much."
Yuanbao shook his head: "This is just the appetizer, there's more to come."
He led the three into the hall, snapped his fingers stylishly, and the young and beautiful maids and tall and handsome guards filed in, lined up neatly, and respectfully bowed to Chu Yu: "Greetings, Master."
Chu Yu was startled.
Yuanbao raised his head proudly and explained, "These are the servants that the Empress Dowager bestowed upon you. From now on, they will be responsible for serving you."
Chu Yu glanced at them: 50 maids and 50 guards. Good heavens, that's over a hundred people.
She quickly declined, saying, "I don't live in the Demon Realm permanently, so I don't need so many people to serve me."
Yuanbao explained in a serious tone: "It's still not enough. You are the Demon Queen's sworn sister and my aunt. You must have this kind of status."
