Chapter 71 Chapter 71 Can I be your lover? ...
"Hmm." Reiss carefully wiped the grape juice from the corner of Lin Miao's lips and responded through his nose.
During the hundred years of slaughtering monsters and guarding hell, he had long been accustomed to bloody wounds and torn flesh, and used to living with pain.
In other words, choosing to go to the Styx to fight at a fixed time and place every day without any necessity seems more like the Fury Leader actively seeking pain.
"No impact." He lowered his eyes.
The devil had said so, so Lin Miao couldn't force him to "get into trouble." She thought for a moment, "What did Lord An Wei extract from the king at the hunting ground?"
The furious leader instinctively didn't want the girl to mention his younger brother, who had taken the throne first. His long eyelashes hid a momentary gloom in his eyes. "He didn't get anything out of me. The bird arrived early. He sensed the aura of light and immediately struck dead... but unfortunately, he wasn't quick enough."
The last sentence was somewhat sarcastic.
"Before you go to the treasure room tonight, you can torture the king yourself."
"Why do you seem more anxious than I am?" Lin Miao couldn't help but ask, "We still don't know what's in the treasure room."
"...If we uncover clues sooner, we might even be able to find a way to unlock the chain around your waist sooner," the three-headed dog said slowly. "...At least you'll have an extra fighting force you can use."
Lin Miao heard the disappointment in his words and teased him deliberately: "When I first came to your castle, you were very confident?"
"I'm quite confident now," the demon said, raising his chin and humming. "This chain has at least restricted 50% of my strength. If I were in my prime, I could easily defeat that person, let alone a few birds."
"...Have you ever thought about who put this chain on?"
"It's heaven after all. I've been here since the war ended and I woke up." The demon said with little interest. "It's either that guy or those useless birds. The others aren't capable of this."
The chains Heaven had created to restrain the three-headed dog had slashed half of his magic power, yet it could still be used by him when his rage talent was activated? Lin Miao found it a bit outrageous, but he had no evidence to refute it, so he had to give up.
"Then wait for me to come back."
She gave the demon a kiss on the cheek.

Alwyn hadn't slept much for two days.
He was inexplicably knocked unconscious in the woods; when he woke up, he inexplicably found himself in the palace, with a bunch of people crying around his bed, telling him that he had almost died, but fortunately the God of Light had saved his life, and then he found that he had enough strength to get out of bed and run 3,000 meters immediately;
The eldest prince was inexplicably implicated in the assassination and thrown into prison; the king was inexplicably bedridden due to a strange illness, and he was inexplicably appointed regent. The threshold of the prince's mansion was almost trampled down by those nobles.
baffling.
He was busy handling government affairs, receiving nobles, and eliminating certain forces, and was so busy spinning like a top that when he looked up and saw the girl with black hair, black eyes, and curved lips looking at him behind the palace pillar, his first reaction was to suspect that he had been whipped around too many times and had some strange hallucinations.
How do you see his "brilliance"?
"Long time no see, Your Highness the Fourth Prince." The girl, seemingly hallucinating, walked over to his desk with a smile and waved her five fingers before his eyes. "Our collaboration was a success."
"..." Alwen opened his mouth, his honey-colored eyes seemed completely dull, and could only passively reflect Lin Miao's cunning and lively expression.
"Huh? Alwyn doesn't welcome me?"
Lin Miao raised an eyebrow and held his heart in a feigned state of hurt, "I am at least a hero."
"Brother...sister-in-law..." Arwen could clearly hear the sound of his own swallowing, but he wasn't sure if she had noticed. "Yulia, how are you...?!"
"As you can see, he's still alive." Lin Miao put his hands behind his back and said with a smile, "Congratulations, you got what you wanted."
"...All of this, including the eldest brother being imprisoned and the discovery of the seventh brother's body, were all planned by you in advance?" Alvin asked stiffly.
The body of the seventh prince... ?
How come she and the three-headed dog only learned that the Seventh Prince had disappeared? Could it be that Cecia had fabricated a corpse and the royal family had concealed it for shame?
Lin Miao realized that Alwen had misunderstood, but she had no intention of explaining: "Why, does the Fourth Prince think my methods are too cruel?"
If that is the case, it is better not to give this token;
Anyway, her purpose is just to lure out the great wizard. It doesn't matter who sits on the throne of the world.
"No!" Arwen stood up hastily and explained incoherently, "I don't think so... The royal brothers' methods will only be more cruel."
He gripped the edge of the table with both hands, knuckles straining: "I... I..."
"I just want to ask, Miss Leah doesn't really love the Seventh Prince, right?"
"...Huh?" Lin Miao didn't understand where this was going. "What does this have to do with our cooperation?"
"I mean...I think..."
He stumbled over the words that came out of his mouth, and after a long silence, he suddenly grabbed the brilliant golden hair with force.
This really doesn't seem like something a noble prince would do, but perhaps because he was born in this palace, Alvin didn't feel that he was that noble.
If we talk about nobility, it has to be the person in that position, right?
The throne... the throne...
After his mother's death, this was the only wish that kept him alive until now.
It's within reach.
After a brief moment of confusion, His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince quickly guessed the purpose of the former Seventh Prince's wife coming to see him.
As long as you get the token and command the Knights of Tam, getting the throne will be a piece of cake.
He shouldn't say anything that might offend or annoy her at this time.
“…”
"Alwen?" Lin Miao frowned.
"Leah." He closed his eyes, the smile on his face uglier than crying. "If...if I didn't want the Griffin Token, and relied on myself to eliminate those nobles and my brother's old subordinates and ascend the throne..."
"you……"
"Can I be your lover?"
“…”
What a niche statement.
She heard it twice in just one day.
They've only even met a few times!!
Lin Miao suspected that there was some hidden problem with his ears: "Your Highness the Fourth Prince, you can't eat or talk carelessly."
"Look, I'm not bad looking, and my figure is pretty good..."
"Stop, stop, stop!" You're starting to lose your ability, right? "Your Highness the Fourth Prince, I don't need a lover, and you don't need me as a lover either."
Lin Miao slammed the griffin token on his desk, still feeling absurd. "I'm here this time just to remind Your Highness to strike first and not forget your promise."
“…”
Arwen's golden hair fell down, covering his eyebrows and eyes, leaving only the soft lines of his jaw slightly retracted; his brown eyes, as warm as melted honey, also dimmed, and his whole body stood listlessly in front of her like a piece of golden hair drenched by the rain.
"I understand. ... I won't forget it."
...If you don’t know, you might think she committed the serious crime of abandoning a puppy.
When Lin Miao walked out of the Fourth Prince's mansion in a daze, she realized that she was so shocked that she forgot to ask about the discovery of the Seventh Prince's body.
“…”
Fortunately, after returning to the Light Association, her demon also brought her information.
Reis leaned against the window, his face slightly gloomy. "Yesterday morning, the Royal Guards discovered a bloody and unrecognizable corpse on the other side of Silver Slope Forest. Royal secret techniques confirmed it to be the Seventh Prince."
"...It was the real Seventh Prince who was originally placed in the basement."
As if predicting what Lin Miao was about to say, Reiss quickly added, "There aren't many creatures that can break Anwei's spell. I asked Cecia, and it's not her. It's not Mammon or Beelzebub either."
Lin Miao pursed her lips: "No trace left?"
"No. It should be a magical tool that doesn't require any power to operate, similar to a quest ball."
The furious man frowned and lowered his eyes, obviously feeling anxious and depressed that he couldn't even do such a "small thing".
Lin Miao had a rough guess in his mind.
She said nothing more, waved the devil over, snuggled in the big dog's arms, closed her eyes and rested quietly, ready to face the "adventure" late at night.
Reese's arms subconsciously tightened, and seeing that she was a little uncomfortable, he gently slid down half an inch along her waistline, forming a looser embrace.
The slender, scaly tail stretched out and wrapped around her legs smoothly, curling and circling like a soft yet tough silk ribbon.
*
That night, everything was silent, the moon was hidden and the stars were sunken.
It was a good day to commit the crime.
Martha took Lin Miao and the three-headed dog and hid all the way. They took advantage of the time when the maid brought medicine to the king and the light magic circle was temporarily open to sneak into the king's bedroom.
The once handsome and majestic king was now nothing but a pile of mud paralyzed in bed. His body was as thin as a stick under the quilt, his skin was as loose as soaked old paper, and his gray hair was stuck to his forehead.
He didn't even stir when the maid placed the medicine beside the bed.
After she left the palace, Reese raised his hand and used his magic power to build a silent barrier, revealing one man and two demons.
"Your Majesty, I haven't seen you for a few days. How did you end up in such a miserable state?"
Lin Miao took a step forward, looking down at the dying thief, his voice clear and with a hint of smile.
The king's wrinkled eyelids suddenly opened, revealing the cloudy eyes underneath.
When I saw her face clearly, and the man and woman behind her, I could see the dying old man gasping like a broken bellows and making meaningless hoarse sounds.
"Are you surprised to see me?" Lin Miao looked at his hands. "Do you think I don't have the courage to come back? Or is it impossible for me to sneak into the heavily guarded palace and then go on to kill you?"
"It must be hard to be treated like this by your own son, right?" Lin Miao pretended not to notice the king's bulging, bloodshot eyes, which looked like spiderwebs, and continued to speak. "But you've taken the lives of so many people, even your own son. Haven't you ever thought that one day you might capsize?"
"You must have thought about it."
"It's just that greed and power have blinded you, so you can't see anything."
"Right—"
"His Majesty Makuri, the second king after the War of Gods and Demons."
