Actions that are completely contrary to words are magnified infinitely in Saphis's eyes.
Angels never show concern for others. In all the time that Safis had known Al, he had never seen Al develop any excessive feelings for anyone else.
Demons are most sensitive to emotions and could clearly sense that El's aura was different from usual.
This made Al's denial seem somewhat weak.
However, Safis had just lost his wife and was in no mood to be someone's relationship advisor or enlighten his nemesis. He merely questioned him once and then didn't ask any further questions.
"Tell me what it is, and then leave quickly."
Safis's tone was impatient; his murderous urge had reached its peak, and if he continued to look at El's hateful face, he might just make his move.
Maggie finally recovered from her cough and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that the two had finally shifted the topic away from her.
What demon king? Is your eye damaged?
How could he say such a thing? It almost scared her to death.
"Her reversal of undead transformation, you know how to do it."
Anyone with eyes could see how agitated Safis was, on the verge of exploding. El stated his demands succinctly, pointing to Maggie's bare arm as he spoke.
"ha?"
Safis seemed incredulous that such words came from El's mouth, and made a sound of surprise.
This time, he finally looked Maggie up and down carefully, and his expression became increasingly strange.
"This human... no, time doesn't flow around her, what is she?"
Safis asked El quite seriously.
But when Maggie heard those words, they didn't sound right at all; they sounded like she was being insulted.
"It's none of your business."
El didn't want to offer any further explanation and directly retorted to Safis, showing no attitude of asking for favors whatsoever. This made Maggie, who was standing nearby, very nervous, fearing that Safis might turn on her and abandon her.
"Time is frozen within her; she can't die without reversing her undead transformation."
Safis seemed to have long been used to El's terrible temper. He didn't get angry or chase him away. Instead, he waved his hand with an expression that said, "Don't worry about it."
Maggie is currently just a simple projection, so in Safis's eyes, time is indeed frozen on her.
"no."
Knowing that Maggie was from the future, El naturally wouldn't accept Saphis's statement and rejected his proposal with just two words.
"...What? Could it be that you, young lady, are too vain?"
Safis raised an eyebrow at El's resolute attitude, his demonic energy surging forth, and his words carrying a hint of teasing.
I don't know if he's calmed down now, but he's more patient than before and even has the mood to gossip.
After all, Maggie's skin looks grayish-white now, a bit like a zombie, which is indeed not very attractive in comparison.
"Um."
El didn't deny it, or perhaps he was too lazy to explain.
"Hmm, this is rather troublesome. How about you take her soul with you and leave her body with me for now?"
Safis stroked his chin, a thoughtful expression on his face.
Considering that young couples are often very close when they first start dating, he proposed a solution that he considered very reasonable.
If Maggie were to become a complete undead, he would definitely be helpless, but if she were only half undead, he could still try to resolve the situation using his abilities.
Is this the only way?
El paused for a moment before continuing to ask.
"Well, there's no other way. Besides, you're a human girl, and time is frozen within you. Even if I were the Demon of Time, I might not be able to succeed."
Safis shrugged, revealing a helpless expression.
"As for the spiritual aspect, I'll think of a solution for you once your body has recovered."
El didn't say anything more, but turned to look at Maggie with a questioning gaze.
"???"
As Maggie listened to their conversation, she grew increasingly horrified. What difference was there between this and killing her? Her soul was about to leave her body.
"No, no, no, if there's no way to resolve it, then so be it. There's no need to force it."
Maggie knew her physical condition and that it was definitely beyond repair, so there was no need to waste the Demon King's energy on making things even more frightening.
El, however, did not give up. Instead, he thought for a while and then said...
“I can come to you.”
Despite the seemingly random sentence, Maggie immediately understood his subtext: he would always remember this incident and find her in her physical form someday to help her solve her current problem.
Unfortunately... that would take far too long; El couldn't remember it, nor could he afford to wait.
The old El was better at making friends; the future one... is really annoying.
Maggie smiled, shrugged, and turned away, adopting an indifferent attitude.
"You've forgotten? You've long forgotten me."
Upon hearing this, El paused for a moment, remembering what Maggie had said about an unpleasant incident that had occurred between her and her future self.
In the end, El didn't say anything more.
His memory... will fade after a while, so even if he really agrees, he can't do it.
Safis listened to the two men's riddle-like conversation, completely bewildered, having no idea what they were talking about, but it seemed that he didn't need to intervene.
That's one less problem.
No one spoke, and the hall fell into an enigmatic silence until the sound of footsteps came from the top of the stairs, and a humanoid female demon carrying a child hurriedly ran up.
"My Lord Demon King, the young prince... is too naturally powerful; he needs you."
Clearly, the female demon had no other choice. Hearing the commotion upstairs subside, she figured Safis might have calmed down, so she mustered her courage and carried Safa upstairs.
"!"
Maggie's gaze was instantly drawn to it, because Safa in the demon's arms was just too cute.
It was round and chubby all over, not at all like a newborn baby. Its big, bright eyes, with round purple pupils, scanned everyone present. It was not afraid of strangers at all, but rather full of curiosity.
The horns on its head hadn't grown yet, just two chubby little bumps, and the tiny bony wings on its back trembled gently from time to time, then obediently stuck to its back.
It even had a little tail that Maggie had never seen before, drooping limply at its side, with a tiny heart-shaped tip like a succubus's.
Seemingly sensing Maggie's overly intense gaze, the cub Sa groggily raised its head, just in time to meet Maggie's eyes.
For some reason, he gave Maggie an incredibly sweet, wide smile, revealing two deep dimples.
"!!!"
For a moment, if it weren't for her special state, Maggie felt like she would have had a nosebleed from being so cute.
Nobody told her that her boss was so cute when he was a child!
