Chapter 69 Has he gone mad?! I hope this demon king can be Shu...
The blond boy suddenly winked playfully: "This is a huge misunderstanding! Human souls and flesh are indeed food for demons, but elves' souls and flesh are also food for demons, aren't they?"
The two flower fairies raised their magic wands at the same time, but Xi laughed and looked very happy: "Don't worry, with Shu Xin here, I wouldn't dare to make a move on you. She really would kill me. Although I won't die, I don't want to go back to the Demon Realm. I finally managed to escape. I have to say, Shu Xin is really a heartless woman."
He raised his hand and gently tapped the purple-haired flower fairy with his fingertip:
"You asked me what happened tonight, right? What else could have happened? Shu Xin drank too much acorn wine. She got drunk and almost had a magical outburst! Oh, you blockheads probably don't know what a magical outburst is. Speaking of which, her body is definitely much stronger than yours. I reckon even if she had had a magical outburst, she wouldn't have suffered serious damage. But that's not important. What's important is that I saved her, understand? Little one, I not only kindly calmed her magic, but I also gently and considerately soothed her pain. You should be thanking me!"
The blond boy pointed his finger at the red-haired flower fairy, and his eyes narrowed slightly.
"You ask me why I stay in this land of sin, and why I stay by Shu Xin's side? It's simple, of course, it's to survive! Your princess needs magic, and I can provide magic. At the same time, I need a little bit of emotion and soul to fill my stomach, and your princess can provide that. For better cooperation, we even signed a magic contract!"
"As for why I don't leave this land of sin, why I don't leave Shuxin—"
The humanoid demon stood up, kicked over the chair with a loud crash, and his body swelled up. The handsome young man's shell suddenly shattered, and thick, black mist billowed out, filling the entire conference room in the blink of an eye. The next second, the black mist transformed into endless flames, burning fiercely into a ferocious and terrifying beast. It coiled before the two flower fairies, looking down at them, its deep voice seeming to emanate from the deepest abyss:
"Shu Xin loves you all equally, whether you are noble or commoner, commoner or slave. How suitable she is! Could there be a more suitable demon king than her? No one!"
"Since you know I am a demon, do you know what kind of demon I am, and where I come from? Poor puppets, your race is dying, your history, your culture, your heritage have probably been severed long ago. Let me tell you clearly, I am a hybrid, and I come from the demon realm."
Peng Pengan felt his mind was about to explode. He blankly followed the demon's words and asked, "Hybrid? What's that? The Demon Realm? Where is that?"
Nonori did not stop Pompon from asking questions. Although he was more interested in knowing what the demon's intention was in connecting the princess with the "Demon King," he also wanted to know the answer to the question Pompon asked.
The fiery behemoth laughed mockingly, but it was unclear whether it was mocking Pengpeng'an or itself:
"He cursed the Earth Mother Goddess and betrayed the Creator God, and was therefore abandoned by the entire world. He was forever sunk into the endless sea and forbidden by the laws to return to the material world. The plane that can only exist in the form of elements is the Demon Realm."
The various races that exist in the demon realm in the form of elements are all demons in the material plane, but they all value the purity of their own bloodline. However, these demons, who exist in the form of elemental life, are easily corrupted by the elements of their enemies when they fight and struggle for survival and reproduction, and thus always give birth to offspring mixed with different elements.
These unrecognized, erased, tainted, and lowly beings, defiling pure bloodlines, are what we call hybrids.
"Where you come from, what your identity is, and what does it have to do with you staying in this land of sin and by the princess's side?" Nono asked directly.
The flames on the behemoth leaped excitedly: "Shu Xin is good, the Land of Sin is good too. I am a hybrid, but that doesn't affect my strength. The current Demon King of the Demon Realm acknowledges my power. He is willing to appoint me as his successor and allow me to cleanse my bloodline and become a pure and noble demon. Ha! I don't care! The world has abandoned the Demon Realm, the Demon Realm has abandoned hybrids, so why can't I abandon the Demon Realm? Why can't I abandon the world!"
"Oh, of course, that was my thought before I met Shu Xin. Don't keep yelling in my head, you old blockhead who's about to die. You can't even save yourself, and you want to save the world? Enough, enough! Look closely, I didn't even burn a single hair off these two little ones!" The fire behemoth muttered to itself, seemingly talking to someone. Then, its enormous body, which had occupied the entire conference room, reluctantly and rapidly shrank, eventually transforming into him, the blond, handsome young man, who reappeared in the same spot.
“Alright, alright, I’ll put it simply,” the blond humanoid demon shrugged and said, “Since there must be a Demon King in this world, I hope that Demon King can be Shu Xin. But I’m not going to do a losing deal. I’m willing to follow and serve Shu Xin as the Demon King, but Shu Xin must also treat my people as her people and protect them. Oh, I’m talking about hybrids, not those damn purebloods. To be honest, I’m so jealous of you blockheads!”
"One day, I will place the Demon King's supreme crown on Shu Xin's head! And one day, I will bring all my mixed-blood people to this land!" the blond boy declared loudly, looking smug and extremely satisfied with his idea.
He transformed into a snow-white lamb and hopped away, leaving the two flower fairies staring at each other in the empty conference room.
After an unknown amount of time, Pengpengan finally managed to find his voice again.
"No way, is he insane? Huh? He, a demon, wants our princess to become the Demon King? Huh? Is he crazy? He even wants his demon race to come to our Land of Sin? Does he know what he's saying?! He even said before that the flesh and soul of us elves are food for demons!"
Nono couldn't help but sigh: "By the Goddess of Flowers... he'd be better off as a demon who eats elves..."
“No, we have to tell the princess! We can’t let her be deceived by a demon! The princess is our flower fairy! Even if she’s to become a king, she should be the king of Ganar! She can’t possibly be some demon king!” Pompon was about to fly away when Nono grabbed his sleeve and turned back to glare at him. “Are you saying you want the princess to become a demon king?!”
"Why are you spouting nonsense too!" Nono couldn't help but tap Pompom with her magic wand. "The princess won't be manipulated by anyone! Ignore that demon, we just need to follow the princess's orders! It's so late, are you going to disturb the princess's rest?"
Shu Xin was completely unaware of the conversation taking place in the conference room. She slept soundly until dawn, and when she opened her eyes, she felt refreshed and invigorated, as if the air itself had become much fresher and more pleasant.
As she got up to start her work for the day, she glanced up and saw a wooden chair placed in front of the window. Shu Xin's gaze slowly descended and landed on a crooked wine barrel next to the chair. Looking to the side, she saw a wooden bowl lying upside down on the ground.
Shu Xin tried to recall, but found that her memory of last night was blank. She only remembered that she originally planned to have a few drinks on the terrace, but after realizing that she couldn't hold her liquor, she decisively went back to the bedroom. Then she moved a chair to the window and started drinking, and then she couldn't remember anything else.
...Has she blacked out?!
