The Demon Emperor was Saint Emperor

Chapter 353: Chapter 292: The Little One’s Premonition

"Now that matters on the Divine Protection Continent are basically resolved, I’ll go directly to the Divine Abandonment Continent to complete the trade with the Demon Race. What about you guys? Are you following the allied forces or coming with me?"

Lynn rubbed the round heads of the two little ones while speaking, then looked at everyone.

After hearing his question, the women exchanged glances for a while, then fell silent.

After a long time, they finally pushed the always cheeky Natasha to speak on their behalf.

"We... won’t go. After all, we wouldn’t be of much help, and would only be a burden..."

Though Natasha was smiling as she spoke, it was clear she wasn’t in the best spirits.

Originally, they thought that after reaching the Peak Saint Tier, they would be the top-tier powerhouses on the Divine Protection Continent, and could finally barely keep up with Lynn’s pace.

But after meeting the Demon Dragon Emperor’s Dragon Mother and the Seven Great Demon Kings from the Demon Realm a few days ago, their newly risen confidence suffered a devastating blow.

It was one thing to not match the Dragon Mother of the Demon Dragon Emperor’s generation, as she was a Near God of countless generations, but how could they possibly lag so far behind the new generation of Seven Great Demon Kings, who had ascended just over a year?

They were each considered outstanding in their respective worlds’ younger generations, yet while they were still elated about stepping into the Peak Saint Tier, the beautiful Demon Kings of the Demon Clan had already reached Peak Demigod status.

Were it not for the absolute animosity between the Miracle World and the Demon Realm, they might have begun to doubt themselves and ponder whether those seven undeniably beautiful Demon Kings were more suited for Lynn than they were...

So, when Lynn asked whether they wanted to accompany him to complete the trade with the Demon Race, no one wanted to invite the comparison with those seven beautiful Demon Kings.

Of course, whether they could measure up was not the key issue. They were not so insecure as to feel inferior because of this. The problem was their strength compared to the Demon Race was far too weak. If such a large group went along, should the Demon Race harbor any ill intentions and set an ambush, not only would they be of no help, but they would also become a burden to Lynn.

If there were such a possibility, their absence would actually make it easier for Lynn to force a breakout, without being forced into a deadly fight with the Demon Race due to their being captured or trapped.

So, whether from the perspective of willingness or appropriateness, they should not follow Lynn over.

"How can you say that? You are my wives. No matter the time or situation, you can never be a burden to me. I know the Demon Kings on the other side are stronger than you, but being relatively weaker is not your fault; it’s the fault of this world!"

"If the world grade of the Miracle World wasn’t lower than that of the Demon Realm, causing your higher levels to lag drastically behind the Demon Realm, I believe with your talents, given time, you wouldn’t be worse than those seven Demon Kings."

Although what Lynn said was to comfort his wives, it was indeed true. After all, even though both the Demon Realm and the Miracle World have an upper limit of Level 999, historically speaking, Demigods in the Miracle World are as rare as phoenix feathers, whereas the Demon Realm produces hundreds of Demigods at a time. The Peak Saint Tier individuals in the Miracle World are also extremely rare, even more so before Lynn started his ’power leveling’ initiative, while Peak Great Demons in the Demon Realm... well, they’re everywhere.

In essence, it’s due to the massive disparity between the two worlds. It’s not his Miracle World wives’ fault that their strength seems so negligible compared to the Demon King wives.

Moreover, he truly had an uneven distribution scenario. Never mind the Divine Blessings of the Demon God, but the experience points, i.e., the level upgrades gained from slaying the Demon Race, ended up benefiting the Demon King wives the most. Their levels were mostly built upon the flesh and blood of Demon Realm Demigods and Peak Great Demons, whereas the good wives who really needed to train by slaying demons only picked up some scraps.

Although the circumstances were such and not due to Lynn’s favoritism, seeing his Miracle World wives feel somewhat inferior in front of his Demon King wives made him feel quite uncomfortable inside.

He really wanted to keep the balance evenly, but alas, the Miracle World is a bowl, and the Demon Realm is a basin...

"Although these are comforting words, they still feel pretty nice to hear. Alright, we really won’t go, so you need to be extra careful yourself. The Demon Race may not be trustworthy, so you must have multiple preparations and defenses in place. If necessary, abandoning the trade or even the Divine Abandonment Continent to ensure your own safety should be prioritized."

At this moment, Helena took Catherine’s hand, Catherine took Vivian’s hand, Vivian took Cleia’s hand, and everyone walked next to Natasha, facing Lynn. It was Helena, under Her Majesty the Empress’s lead, who spoke first.

"You are doing something that’s most beneficial for this world, once again saving it, making the Miracle World whole. Even though I still don’t have that kind of feeling towards you, if you call me your wife in the future... I’ll agree, but I won’t have children with you. Having Little Youli and Little Yuna is enough for me."

This was what Catherine said as she took a step forward. She seemed to have figured out a lot, though not completely. But for Lynn, it was great news; at least she acknowledged being his wife, which meant following matters would certainly be much easier.

"I... I’m not too sure about worldly affairs, but I’ll always stay with you obediently. Even if I can’t match others or any other demons, I’ll always be with you, always waiting for you..."
