Chapter 64: The Demon Lord’s Regrets and Allyrose’s Retaliation

“Don’t cry, please don’t cry, okay? I, I, I… I know healing magic. It won’t hurt for long, don’t cry… Come on, no more pain, no more pain—”

The Demon Lord, who had never learned to comfort anyone in his entire life, was now reluctantly playing the role of a kindergarten teacher, all thanks to Allyrose.

He gently soothed the sobbing, twin-tailed little fox while carefully placing his hand on the girl’s backside, softly activating his healing magic.

A soft groan escaped her lips.

Soon, the burning sensation gradually receded. Allyrose blinked in confusion, even feeling a strange… emptiness.

After a moment, the girl had cried her fill, though she still sniffled softly. Then, she complained unhappily:

“You… you could heal it! So why… why did you leave it alone all night? You… how could you be so mean, hmm…”

“Ah, no… no, that’s because…”

Luo Jia’s face flushed slightly, and he awkwardly turned his head away. Yet, after a moment, the Demon Lord decided that since Allyrose was upset, it was best not to argue.

He should simply continue to comfort her. That was how one soothed a girl, after all.

“I’m sorry, my apologies, it was all me…”

“You reminded me of really, really bad memories, do you know that! I… I absolutely hate being spanked, absolutely not!”

The girl’s face instantly turned crimson. Her emotions, which had just barely settled, surged once more. She absolutely could not…

…be placated by Luo Jia with just a few comforting words!

Thus, after a short pause, Allyrose’s gaze, fixed on Luo Jia, gradually grew cold. She suddenly let out a sneer, successfully reclaiming her ‘bad woman’ persona. Tilting her head, she spoke:

“Little white-haired one, I truly underestimated you… I originally thought you were just an ordinary demon, but I didn’t expect…”

A sharp gasp escaped her lips.

Ah?!

This sudden change in her demeanor instantly made Luo Jia, who had just been preoccupied with comforting the girl, feel a surge of tension.

What was happening? Why was Allyrose suddenly saying such things?

Could it be… she had noticed something?

Indeed, in the very next second, the twin-tailed little fox’s words confirmed Luo Jia’s suspicions.

“But… the powerful strength you displayed yesterday, which pinned me down, unable to move, wasn’t just because I was shy or because you were strong, was it? It was… you unleashed extremely powerful magic~! Could a mere insignificant demon minion possibly achieve that?”

Luo Jia blinked, already adjusting to a defensive stance. He couldn’t help but feel a pang of regret.

Tsk, he had been momentarily overwhelmed by this woman’s backside and acted impulsively, exposing some of his strength. He hadn’t expected this foolish woman to become so perceptive at this moment, detecting it so easily.

Right now, the most important thing was to see if Allyrose had guessed he was the Demon Lord, and… what means she intended to use against him.

The Demon Lord wasn’t afraid. Although the sword the girl had used to kill the cyclops earlier was quite miraculous, Luo Jia was absolutely confident he wouldn’t be defeated. If he didn’t want to harm the girl, he could also retreat unscathed.

It was just…

Why did he feel a little regretful?

Luo Jia was still bothered by the girl’s backside. Although the mere thought of that scene still sent a ripple through his heart, the Demon Lord regretted that he shouldn’t have gotten carried away and fallen out with Allyrose now.

Did this foolish woman really need to make such a big fuss? She clearly didn’t take him seriously at all.

So, after a moment, Luo Jia silently gritted his teeth, then asked in a low voice:

“Then what do you think… I am?”

“Well… how would I know that~? I don’t even know the organizational structure of your Demon Lord’s army… But, thinking about it now, someone who can personally deliver a letter to the Demon Lord can’t just be a simple scout or soldier… Combining that with your strength, little white-haired one, you’re actually a Demon Lord… an army executive, right?!”

*Click*—

She was wrong again…

Luo Jia’s mouth twitched. However, this time the girl’s guess was quite close to the truth. In fact, Allyrose’s deduction, besides the reasons she stated, had another underlying cause: the ‘Enemy Support System’ had given Luo Jia too many benefits. How could a mere scout receive such treatment?

In truth… perhaps, at this moment, Luo Jia could have directly revealed everything to Allyrose. But… after a long moment of hesitation, he remained unwilling to tell Allyrose the truth.

Because if he did, they truly wouldn’t be able to stay together.

Why did he want to stay with this woman? Tsk…

The Demon Lord gritted his teeth again, but after a moment, he let out a soft sigh and then spoke:

“There’s truly nothing I can hide from you, but I… I’m not as exaggerated as you make me out to be. I’m just a slightly influential… minor noble in the Demon Lord’s army, mm… you can understand it that way. My status is even lower than yours in the royal capital, Allyrose. It’s just that the Demon Lord is quite approachable, so I was able to personally deliver the letter to him. Allyrose, please don’t dwell on these things, okay? I, I am loyal to you now, have you forgotten? We even signed a contract…”

“Oh? So you still know I’m your master! Hmph… I took care of you all night when you were injured, yet yesterday, just because you got a little jealous, you dared to treat me like that? Tsk, do you really respect me, your master, at all? Little puppy, have you forgotten, I can snap my fingers and end your life~?”

“What do you mean? You’re going to kill me?”

Watching Allyrose’s cold smile, Luo Jia silently frowned. This joke was going too far. This woman…

This was truly making him angry.

“Hmph, a disobedient puppy, a puppy who offends its master, I don’t need it~!”

Allyrose was clearly overcome with shame and indignation at this moment. Of course, she hadn’t truly cared much about Luo Jia to begin with. Let’s not forget, the transmigration Allyrose was a wicked woman determined to manipulate the entire world. Her momentary weakness… well, it was merely due to embarrassment.

This cold, ruthless demeanor was what Allyrose had always aspired to be.

That kind of… being forcefully… touched on the leg and spanked, she absolutely… absolutely did not want it to happen again. If it happened just once or twice more, her self-esteem from her previous life… and even she herself… would become very strange!

So, after a moment, she silently extended her right hand, making the gesture to snap her fingers.

Of course, this snap wouldn’t necessarily kill Luo Jia. It was just… the girl certainly couldn’t allow such a capable individual, who harbored inappropriate thoughts about her and would… would make her incredibly ashamed, to continue to exist by her side.

The contract’s punitive effects were actually diverse, depending solely on the punisher’s will. She decided… to simply erase all of the little white-haired one’s memories, turning him into her obedient, loyal dog-servant, a pitiful little puppy who would beg for her affection every day.

“*Chak*—”

A crisp snap echoed softly.
