Chapter 382: Chapter 306: Professional Match_2
And just thinking about it, Phantom became even more terrified. She couldn’t even do that, so how could she dare to be pregnant? If she could, she even hoped that the chain of Lust Demon Kings would end with her, and that such a concept of lust should no longer be passed down.
"If we’re going in order, it should be my turn. But I think Lust might be more suitable than me. This sort of thing should be her forte. With the big sis having cleared the way, going second isn’t as much pressure for little Phantom here."
At this point, Aya, the Envious Demon King and the second in line among the Seven Great Demon Kings, stepped forward. She could never stand to see other demons being better than her or having a better life than her.
But seeing other demons worse off or miserable, she wouldn’t feel a speck of envy. Her demon nature wouldn’t be triggered, you know.
So when she saw the big sis returning turned into a limp shrimp, Aya shrank back as well.
If the big sis had returned looking blissfully happy, she would’ve fought for second place no matter what. But given the current situation, she could afford to let her younger sister have it.
At this moment, she quite agreed with the big sis’s proposal from yesterday. Phantom is more suited for this than any of them, and this should be her rightful job, a professional match!
She, as the Envious Demon King, is meant to be ranked far behind, watching her younger sisters get lovey-dovey with Lynn, and then stand out to scold her younger sisters for stealing her husband, while accusing her husband of flirting with her sisters-in-law.
Yes, envy should be the bitter sufferer, not the frontrunner, nor the second row.
"Why is it me again?"
Phantom pointed at her nose, looking completely innocent as she asked. Yesterday it was the big sis after her, and today the second sis was targeting her. So would it be Sara’s turn tomorrow?
Oh, not necessarily. If today she ended up like the big sis yesterday, pinned down completely, she wouldn’t even see the day Sara came for her...
"Because you’re sick!"
Aya borrowed Ilya’s reasoning. She didn’t have any other excuses to clear herself, so rather than finding faults in herself, she chose to point fingers at other demons.
"If I’m sick, shouldn’t you cut me some slack?"
Phantom’s eyes twinkled as she made a reasonable counterattack.
"Your illness can only be cured with tough love. Sis doesn’t want to see your condition worsen, and wants you to get better soon."
Aya wasn’t one to get caught up, and with just a few words sent Phantom’s counterattack back at her.
"But I feel my condition can’t handle too much stimulation..."
"Relax, Lynn is from the Human Race."
Phantom: "??"
Hearing the second sis’s ramblings, Phantom opened her mouth several times but still couldn’t rebut.
She couldn’t agree with the second sis’s words, nor could she disagree...
It wasn’t that she couldn’t acknowledge them, it was just that she couldn’t bring herself to say it.
"This time... I also think Phantom should go. The big sis initially recommended you to go. Now, given her big sisterly grace and having withstood the first wave of attack, getting herself into this state, it logically and emotionally should be your turn, Phantom."
In this moment, it was Greed Demon King Liss who chimed in to support the second sis, Envious Demon King Aya. Historically, she is the most intelligent among the seven sisters, though not necessarily so smart, just the calmest and most objective.
Because her demon nature was most under her control, rarely ever losing control, her opinions were respected among the sisters most of the time.
Just like the last time when she and the big sis couldn’t agree on how to deal with Dragon Mother Victor, she could even command the support of four of the Demon Kings, slightly overpowering the big sis.
Her opinions are very important, worth pondering by all in the magic capital.
And indeed, aside from Phantom, all the Demon Kings fell into thought, and before long, all their eyes were on Phantom.
Seeing this, any thought Phantom had of arguing evaporated. She knew her sisters too well; they didn’t even need to speak; their meaning was already clear to her.
"Fine! I’ll go!"
Phantom could refuse the big sis’s suggestion; she could staunchly oppose the second sis’s opinion. She could even ignore Greed sister’s words.
But with so many demons having stood out already, who would be left to back her?
Three-sis Furious Demon King Sara is a combination of scatterbrain and unhappiness, her opinion could be ignored. Four-sis Sloth Demon King Hill had already fallen asleep on the table, waking her would only earn another yes vote, and as for little Betty... well, let’s not even bring her up.
She seemed to have a tiny bit of leeway, but in truth, it was a dead end. Though she was scared, timid, and foreseeably weak-kneed, she had no choice but to resign to her fate.
At least this way she could avoid the miserable fate of being pinned to the ground and tormented by her sisters.
With Phantom’s affirmation of "Fine," and "I’ll go," all the demons let out a sigh of relief.
In any case, someone had volunteered as tribute for tonight, even though no one knew what tomorrow would bring. Avoiding the front row for a night was still a night, and no Demon King wanted to be at the forefront.
After all the commotion, in the end, she could not escape. They were just afraid of getting intimate with Lynn, not unwilling to be close to him.
When it was inevitable, fate had to be accepted; one couldn’t hope that Lynn would suddenly go vegetarian and only hold them as they slept through the night without doing anything.
Instead of holding such unrealistic hopes about Lynn the wicked among lustful demons, they might as well hope for Guardian Demon God’s mercy, that when they completed their mission in the Lower Realm, they would all be summoned to the Upper Demon Realm to serve in the Demon God Hall.
Of course, not right now, nor anytime soon, because they had yet to build the Lower Demon Realm into the place they envisioned.
But it must be said, in aiding Lynn to eliminate those sin-ridden demons, the entire scope of the worlds under the Demon Realm, including within itself, are moving in a positive direction by strides.
The more they remotely manage the Demon Kingdom’s affairs, the more they could appreciate the goodness of Guardian Demon God. They hadn’t chosen the wrong god in following the deity to the end in seeking the dream fantasy Demon Realm.
Yet, now wasn’t the time to think about such, surviving the night was the key topic.
Unknowingly drifting into thoughts, Phantom snapped back to reality, glancing around to see her sisters’ sincere smiles, she also felt relieved.
Suffering alone to save four elder sisters and a younger sister was quite worth it, even if it meant saving just a day.
"If there’s nothing else, have a couple of drinks with me, let’s consider it a farewell..."
Making the decision, Phantom pulled out a flask of wine as if by magic, along with six cups, placing them on the table. Without a word, the big little girl instinctively brought out a table full of delicious food.
She loved finishing leftovers the most, but wouldn’t miss out on real delicacies either; they were just snacks compared to leftovers.
"Huh, why is there a missing cup?"
Lining up her snacks, the big little girl was about to first toast the brave Phantom sister, but realized she didn’t even have a cup.
"How could we forget you?"
Seeing Betty sister reaching out to grab her cup, Phantom pulled out a large bottle of fruit wine for her.
Though it called fruit wine, the alcohol level was just slightly stronger than freshly squeezed juice. The big little girl wasn’t averse to fruit juice, but didn’t like being treated differently.
