Chapter 386: Chapter 308: The Plan Changes (Part 2)
"That’s right, let the Upper Realm and the Divine Realm fight it out. We have better directions to develop."
As Victor finished speaking, the Demon Kings nodded repeatedly, setting things in stone. They were truly afraid of revealing too much in front of Lynn if the discussion continued.
Fortunately, Lynn didn’t seem particularly interested in the matters of the Light God King. Hearing Victor’s words, he had no intention of questioning further.
"Then we won’t delay any longer. Today, I host a banquet here in the palace to welcome Yili and the Dragon Mother. After a day of rest, tomorrow we will inform the Miracle Saint Emperor to prepare for the trade."
Lynn wasn’t in such a hurry initially, but after spending just two nights in the Demon Emperor Palace, he felt deeply that he was becoming too indulgent. Day or night, he was almost always doing the same thing.
Although it was incredibly enjoyable and he became unconsciously addicted, Lynn didn’t want to end up like someone addicted to gambling, doing the same thing day after day. Until the serious matters were completely dealt with, he couldn’t just lie around every day.
Of course, after the trade is done, he would still stay in the Demon Realm for a while longer because the taste of the Enchanting Demon is really something, and even the Demon Kings are extraordinarily stunning.
In the subsequent arrangements, Lynn and the Seven Great Demon Kings entertained Yili and her mother at her original home. During the banquet, Victor suggested that Yili return to live in the Demon Emperor Palace.
Considering that the former owner of the Demon Emperor Palace was her father and the current owner is her fiancé, it was entirely reasonable for her to stay there, and Lynn did not refuse.
After all, the Demon Emperor Palace is very large, accommodating three thousand beauties is no big deal, and adding one Yili is not a problem at all. Yili, either out of modesty or for other reasons, specifically chose a room far from the Demon Emperor’s Bedroom, so she wouldn’t affect him.
Victor didn’t intervene much at this time either. Although she hoped her daughter would directly live in Illidan Demon Emperor’s bedroom, this was their first meeting. If they were too eager, even if the Seven Great Demon Kings misunderstood her as vying for favor, it would be nothing. The most fearsome scenario is if Illidan Demon Emperor loses interest after tasting too easily.
So after a casual meal at the Demon Emperor Palace, Victor left because she’s going to be Illidan Demon Emperor’s mother-in-law, the Dragon, and naturally cannot live there.
Anyway, the Seven Great Demon Kings had previously bestowed many luxurious gifts upon her to curry favor, including lavish residences. She had homes in the capitals of several countries.
After Victor’s departure, the rest became more casual. Lynn hadn’t said much yet, and the little loli went to befriend Yili at her sisters’ suggestion.
As the Gluttonous Demon King, the little loli held a high status in the Demon Realm, and Yili, who had a nominal position of Princess without any real job, was not more noble than her. Now that her father had become the Late Emperor, her noble status was no longer untouchable.
"Hello, here, eat this."
The little loli’s way of making friends was sharing snacks. She believed that Demons who could share food with her had the foundation to become her friend. If you can’t enjoy eating together, then how could there be any interest in interaction?
Yili looked at the short Demon King handing her a large bunch of bananas. She recognized her as Betty Russell, the most unexpected of the seven chosen Demon Kings by her father.
Because she really was so tiny. Adorable, yes, with full marks for cuteness, but cuteness couldn’t provide sustenance nor transform into strength. She even doubted if Betty could sustain a lineage.
When her father mentioned Betty’s name, the expressions of the high-ranking Demons present were very peculiar. At that time, Yili didn’t quite understand, even now, she barely gets it.
Who would like someone so short and small like a little carrot?
Compared to Betty, who was a few months short of adulthood, Yili felt like a big sister.
So seeing the banana handed to her, Yili hesitated for a moment before accepting it without reservation.
This might be the way kids express goodwill, and in the future, she would be living alongside the Seven Great Demon Kings, including Betty the Gluttonous Demon King, as concubines. To avoid being ostracized or bullied by them, she must get along with them.
This Demon Emperor Palace would be her home in the future, but she was no longer the Little Princess. Her status here was no longer innate but something she needed to strive for herself.
The first step in securing her status, which is also the second crucial step, was to forge good relations with the Seven Great Demon Kings. Not aiming to instantly integrate into their clique, but at least not be isolated.
"The fruit from the Gluttonous Demon King must be sweet."
Yili smiled sweetly at Betty, then peeled a banana and took a bite. To be honest, it was quite sweet, but it was just the regular taste of a banana, nothing extraordinary.
She thought of complimenting it but worried it might seem too fake and provoke the little girl’s displeasure, so she found herself stuck.
"Little Betty is not the type of child who casually shares food. Her offering her stored food to greet you shows she is very glad to meet you."
At this moment, Phantom, who was getting along best with the little loli, also came over. When Yili returned, her sisters forced Phantom to sober up, quite honestly, Phantom had a tiny grievance towards Yili because her sudden comeback disrupted her plans.
She had arranged everything so well, just waiting for her sisters to deliver the goods. But with Yili’s return, her drunken state was gone, and the carefully timed plan was missed.
A battle that could have concluded in half a day while drunk seemed destined to follow the usual process, like the eldest sister’s path, following the formal steps.
The thought of spending a night in Lynn’s bedroom made Phantom feel weak in the knees, even though nothing had started yet...
"I’m also very glad to meet Betty... Um, in fact, we already knew each other for a while, just never had the chance to interact."
Upon hearing Lust Demon King’s Phantom Triss, Yili extended her hand toward Betty. She was more than willing to get acquainted with the Gluttonous Demon King now, but not with the Lust Demon King.
If befriending the Gluttonous Demon King required eating and drinking together, one could imagine what was needed to befriend the Lust Demon King...
While if Illidan Demon Emperor had requests in the future, it wouldn’t be completely unacceptable, she truly dared not attempt it proactively before that...
"Hmm, you didn’t call me Little Betty, so you seem quite polite, here you go, eat this."
Looking at Yili’s hand reaching out for a handshake, the little loli didn’t respond in kind. Instead, she took out three candies from her pocket, hesitated a bit, and put two into Yili’s hand.
To receive the majority of food from the Gluttonous Demon King’s hands, even if Yili didn’t fully understand the nature of gluttony, she could see Betty’s significance and acknowledgment of her.
Clearly, she should be trying to form friendships with the Seven Great Demon Kings. Yet unexpectedly, there’s such a considerate and sensible child among them, giving her a very smooth start.
Moved, Yili temporarily ignored the other Demons, took one of the candies Betty gave her, and tore the wrapper to pop it into her mouth.
"Wow!"
The next moment, as the overwhelming sourness struck her, she opened her mouth wide, instinctively wanting to spit the sour candy out. But thinking it was a gift from the Gluttonous Demon King, even if a tease, she couldn’t spit it out in front of the seven sisters.
So Yili endured the sourness and didn’t spit out Betty’s candy, yet her originally beautiful face showed slight contortions. If not for her naturally flawless beauty, she’d probably be embarrassed by now.
"This is Betty’s favorite sweet and sour candy. It opens your taste buds with an initial burst of sourness, then floods with honey-like sweetness. How is it, delicious?"
This time, the Gluttonous Demon King herself tore open a candy wrapper, eating it without a change of expression, likely accustomed to the sour impact. While Yili was observing Betty, the sourness began to fade, replaced by an intense sweetness akin to honey.
