Chapter 387: Chapter 309: Awakening
Ilya had to admit that once you get past the initial bitterness, the Gluttonous Demon King’s candy is genuinely sweet.
It seemed she was indeed trying to be friendly. If the other six Demon Kings shared this attitude, then Illidan Demon Emperor’s harem would be quite harmonious.
In her childhood, she had witnessed the consorts in the palace competing for favor—using every possible method and resorting to vicious tricks, fighting in a life-and-death struggle. She had personally seen more than a dozen consorts put to death for failing to win favor, and those exiled for various reasons were countless.
And although Illidan Demon Emperor himself wasn’t particularly good-looking, his family background seemed decent. He had only just ascended the throne, and the harem hadn’t yet expanded much—she would be only the eighth concubine. Even if you included the Enchanting Demons kept around to make up numbers, there were only fifteen in total. Compared to previous Demon Emperors, he was known for his lust but actually followed the path of devotion.
"Princess Yili, since we’re acquainted and about to become one big demonic family, please take care of me in the future."
After Lynn introduced Little Betty to Yili, Phantom quickly followed up. Although they had many things they kept from Yili and didn’t plan to tell her, once Lynn took her in, they were genuinely in the same sisterhood—there was no doubt about this.
So, if possible, the Seven Great Demon Kings were quite willing to maintain a good relationship with Yili. Of course, the real reason they were willing to accept her was her lifelong reputation for kindness.
The word "kindness" was traditionally a particularly offensive term in the Demon Realm, but under the governance of the Guardian Demon God, it became a rare and valuable quality. After all, many loyal followers were once hostile but had been converted. Yili, being naturally kind, could be considered a national treasure-level rarity.
"Yes, yes, I know you are all very good demons. Under your governance, the future Demon Realm will surely undergo a complete makeover and become a wonderful world!"
These were Yili’s heartfelt words. She wasn’t sure if the Seven Great Demon Kings would be easy to get along with, but she never doubted their faith. After all, they remained loyal to the Guardian Demon God’s faith even under the harsh rule of her father, the Destruction Demon God. Under such pressure and exclusion, they were unwavering and would surely be even more devout once they gained power.
Because royal authority needed divine backing; without a Demon God King to rely on, so-called power was just an illusion.
Yili didn’t fully understand these things, but being born into the royal family, although she had never eaten pork, she had certainly seen many pigs run over the last thousand years.
"Let’s work together to build our new Demon Realm!"
Since the Seven Great Demon Kings took office, they had rarely encountered like-minded demons apart from the old team of the Guardian Demon God. Now, feeling Yili’s earnest hope for a better Demon Realm warmed the hearts of the seven lady Demon Kings.
They had come to power after the Demon Dragon Emperor’s downfall and didn’t expect their real supporter in this world to be his own daughter.
"How wonderful, we can grow closer in the future. When there’s time, we could share a bed... oops~~"
Phantom said happily, leaning in for a hug, but before she could close the distance with her enchanting face, her ear was yanked by the Envious Demon King behind her.
"Alright, Phantom, stop creating a fuss here. It’s getting late, you need to get going, and we’ll take care of Yili here."
After the Envious Demon King stepped in, the Furious Demon King also followed up. The two Demon Kings, one on each side, grabbed Phantom’s ears, lifted her up with another arm, and dragged her outside without a word.
"No, wait, give me some strong liquor! Get me drunk first!"
Phantom struggled desperately under the grip of her two sisters, terrified at the thought of what was to come.
Her half Enchanting Demon blood was of no use at that moment, unable to provide her with the slightest bit of courage. The only benefit might be that she was more durable during punishment...
"Where are they taking her? Is there still a place in the current Demon Realm where the Lust Demon King can be punished?"
Yili watched, utterly confused. Hadn’t the Seven Great Demon Kings been appointed by Illidan Demon Emperor to rule the Demon Realm? Why was Phantom, one of the Seven Great Demon Kings, so frightened?
Was this some kind of game she couldn’t understand? It was said that the Lust Demon Kingdom had some quite unique demonic hobbies, completely incomprehensible to normal demons.
"No worries, it’s just that tonight it’s her turn to attend to the Demon Emperor. We’re just delivering the goods to the Demon Emperor."
After half a day of rest, Ilya had largely recovered, at least stable enough to walk. Seeing the Demon Dragon Princess, whose name was only a letter off from hers, so perplexed, she naturally stepped forward to explain as the elder sister of all demons.
Although it was not yet dark, Victor had returned, and the transaction was set for tomorrow, leaving nothing much to be done.
There’s a saying in Miracle World: "When full and warm, thoughts turn to lust." This might not always apply in other demon kingdoms, but it fits the Lust Demon Kingdom perfectly.
Phantom, the unlucky one, happened to be scheduled for today, just her bad luck. If it were tomorrow, it might take ages due to arranged locations, cross-border rush, and face-to-face transactions. There might be no need for a witch to attend at all during those nights.
