“Even when Lord Demonic God was at his most tyrannical, during his 890th rebirth, he never allowed you to take on a monstrous form.
Instead, he kept you in the shape of a little girl, holding you in his arms all day long.
Indeed, Lord Demonic God always seems to have unusual thoughts about you, even when his rationality is almost completely lost.”
Recalling that comical scene from a past life, Xianming chuckled playfully.
“Well, you certainly were quite adorable back then. I almost wanted to hold you like a precious gem myself.”
However,
The very next moment, the Dual-Soul Star felt a shiver of dread run down her spine.
Realizing the chilling coldness in Youka’s gaze, Xianming wisely ceased her teasing.
“My apologies, my apologies. Consider it unsaid.”
“….”
“Still, truthfully, perhaps there’s a deeper meaning behind Lord Demonic God wanting you to maintain this form?”
“Oh?”
“Such a beautiful and delicate appearance could easily disarm enemies, making you an excellent lure.
Perhaps, in Lord Demonic God’s grand plan, your beautiful form, Grand Steward, will play a crucial role. Yes, it must be so.”
Xianming clapped her hands together, stating with absolute certainty.
“….”
In response,
Youka fell silent.
After a brief pause, Youka replied somewhat perfunctorily,
“Perhaps.”
‘For, if she were to honestly ask herself, Youka didn’t believe that girl Xiamiya had any deeper considerations in her mind.’
‘This generation’s master, hmm, to put it nicely, wasn’t particularly intelligent; to put it bluntly, Youka thought her brain was a bit addled.’
‘Alas…’
At this thought, Youka couldn’t help but sigh inwardly, weary to her very soul.
Following this, Youka’s silvery-white eyes narrowed slightly, casting a serious gaze towards the white-haired girl outside the door, who was nodding vigorously to herself.
“Xianming, you didn’t come to find me just to tease me about my new body, did you?”
“Oh?”
Seeing Youka get straight to the point, Xianming shed her playful expression, kneeling respectfully on the ground.
Before Youka, the Grand Steward of Starfall Palace, Xianming displayed utmost reverence.
For Calamity Demons like them, who were lawless and acted solely on desire, the only beings capable of inspiring such respect were the great Lord Demonic God and the Grand Steward before her.
“Grand Steward, the identities of last night’s attackers have largely been uncovered.”
“Oh?”
“The primary attackers were death servants from the Blazefrost Nation, with the shadow of the Abyss of Sin Tower behind them.
Moreover, just like the previous attacks in the Holy Sanctuary, they also had the support of the Theocracy’s aristocratic faction.
If not for the backing of those aristocratic fools, the Blazefrost Nation’s assassins wouldn’t have so easily infiltrated the Holy Light Palace.”
“So it’s like this again?”
Glancing out the window, Youka murmured thoughtfully.
“Grand Steward, should this intelligence be reported to Lord Demonic God?”
Upon hearing this,
After a few seconds of silence, Youka calmly shook her head.
“There’s no need to deliberately disturb Master. She already knows everything.”
“As expected of Lord Demonic God, she truly knew all along.”
Xianming exclaimed with admiration, her eyes filled with awe.
However,
After a brief moment of awe, Xianming suddenly spoke with a solemn tone.
As her words left her lips, the temperature within the room plummeted sharply, and a terrifying black aura swiftly spread, visibly engulfing the interior.
Clearly,
the moment this topic was brought up, Xianming’s mood soured considerably, tyrannical rage steadily festering within her heart.
‘It was important to remember that in the eyes of all Calamity Demons, including Xianming, Lord Demonic God was a supreme and noble existence.’
‘How could they not be enraged when such a revered being was repeatedly harassed by mere ants?’
“Let me take action! I shall bring down divine retribution upon these wretches! Then, I will retrieve their souls and offer them to Lord Demonic God!”
Xianming put forth her suggestion.
Alas,
the suggestion was mercilessly rejected by Youka the very next second.
“No.”
“Eh?!”
“Didn’t Master mention it during the imperial council meeting? Without her permission, we cannot cause a major commotion.
Have you forgotten Master’s words, Xianming? What Master needs to do now is accumulate strength, not engage in large-scale battles.”
“My, my apologies.”
Xianming lowered her head in shame, yet the white-haired girl still clenched her fists, a hint of reluctance in her posture.
“Accumulate strength… is it truly necessary? They’re all just trash, after all.”
Xianming grumbled softly.
Naturally, Youka overheard these words without surprise.
However, the puppet girl didn’t show any displeasure. Instead, she explained with a hint of helplessness:
“Lord Demonic God has her reasons for acting this way, of course. This world is not as simple as you imagine.”
“Oh?”
“You must have guessed it, haven’t you? We were once summoned to this world before.”
“Yes, yes. The power system and cultural system are identical to that world from back then.”
“Then you must also know how Lord Demonic God failed last time, don’t you? The Savior, Xing Lian-Ashtus.
Though that Savior is no longer here, his family still lurks within this world, and the divine sword blessed by the Goddess of Creation remains intact.
Knowing this, do you still dare to underestimate this world?”
“N-no, I wouldn’t dare…”
As if recalling some unbearable memory, Xianming bit her lip in displeasure, slowly lowered her head, and raised a hand to touch her neck.
However,
at the same time, recalling Youka’s recent words, Xianming couldn’t help but frown, muttering in a somewhat peculiar tone,
“The last time? Hmm…”
“What are you talking about?”
“N-nothing at all!”
Xianming hastily shook her head in denial.
Though it felt a little strange, Youka didn’t dwell on it too much.
‘After all, the Dual-Soul Star was inherently an odd individual.’
“Besides the Ashtus family, there are undoubtedly many others who have received blessings from that detestable goddess.
There might even be many old monsters who survived the war tens of thousands of years ago. Do not act recklessly before our strength has fully recovered.”
“Yes.”
Though her heart ached with disappointment, Xianming clearly dared not defy Youka’s will, and could only lower her head in obedience.
However,
just as Xianming felt a wave of despondency, Youka’s next words instantly revived her spirits.
“Still, being repeatedly harassed is quite annoying. If we don’t do something, those aristocratic factions will only grow bolder, won’t they?”
“Oh?! Grand Steward, are you saying—!”
“A little… retaliation, perhaps.”
“Understood, Grand Steward! Leave it to me!”
Xianming slammed her fist onto the floor, promising with fervent enthusiasm.
However,
the very instant she made her promise, Xianming was suddenly struck by a chill.
She tremblingly raised her head to look at the gloomy-faced puppet girl before her, feeling Youka’s utterly cold gaze, then glanced at the floor she had shattered in her excitement.
Xianming’s expression instantly turned to one of horror.
‘She suddenly realized she seemed to have done something incredibly foolish.’
‘It was a well-known fact that her Grand Steward was quite particular about the environment of Lord Demonic God’s residence. Upon arriving at Snow Lotus Palace, she had spent an entire day repairing and maintaining its surroundings.’
‘And now…’
‘The floor the Grand Steward had painstakingly repaired was now accidentally shattered into a large section by her?’
The mere thought of the Grand Steward’s inhumane disciplinary methods instantly drained the color from Xianming’s face.
Her former nobility and dignity vanished without a trace, and she frantically waved her hands, shaking her head.
“A-a-a-a-a-a-a-ah!!! I-I’m so, so sorry, Grand Steward!!! I truly, truly didn’t mean to do it!!! I’ll clean it up immediately! Please, I beg you, don’t go to the kitchen to cook, a-a-a-a-a-ah!!!”
Youka: =-=
