At first, when Aloof and the others heard that Green had brought in another wife, their initial reaction was to refuse, because adding one to the harem without permission would be disrespectful to those of us who came first.
First, we need to confirm whether the new member has any ill intentions, and second...
"Oh, it's Elsa?"
When they saw that the visitor was someone familiar, Aloof and the others were visibly surprised. After all, they had already had interactions with Elsa before, but they didn't expect...
Tia sighed and didn't bother commenting on Green's shameless behavior.
"Tell us, what happened between the two of you in the demon realm?"
Facing the friendly greetings from the harem group, Green shamelessly told the whole story. Especially when mentioning Elsa's skilled appearance and her face full of infatuation, it made Elsa shy and wish she could find a hole to hide in.
Although she was a succubus who was hundreds of years old, her mentality was not much different from that of a teenage girl.
As for Tia and Aloof, their gazes towards Green were no different from those towards a scumbag.
But it's easier said than done to get off the thief ship.
There was no way around it.
Although they were not entirely satisfied with the situation, they didn't regret it.
Rather, the different understanding of the world by people from different worlds would naturally lead to different views on certain things.
But even so, it was still very annoying!
"I, Grid, swear to the heavens that there won't be a next time!"
Green felt a little guilty. Although his verbal promise was useless, Green sincerely meant it this time. After all, the other person had sacrificed their precious body to save him, so abandoning her would be the worst kind of scum, the epitome of a battle scum.
Fortunately, Aloof and the others had gotten used to the situation and could naturally accept it.
But the main reason why they were willing to accept Elsa was because of her actions.
"Elsa, we really appreciate you saving Green. Starting from today, if Green dares to treat you badly in any way, just tell us and we won't let you suffer any injustice!"
"Um... okay... Aloof, sister..."
For some reason, Green felt that Elsa's personality had changed a lot compared to before.
At least now, Elsa's obedient and bashful appearance was completely different from her previous actions.
Could it be that women are such fickle creatures?
Kneeling on the steps, carrying two buckets of water, and still wearing an apple on his head, Green pondered painfully.
"Green, welcome back..."
Just as Green sighed about how women are truly inscrutable and how only on the bed could they truly communicate, a gentle voice reached his ears.
Green didn't need to turn around to know who it was. Apart from Mio, no one else would speak to him with such a gentle voice.
Mio took the apple off Green's head, helped him up, and then gave him a smile.
"Mio...?"
"Hehe!"
Afterwards, Green and Mio left the room, leaving Elsa to continue talking with Aloof and the others. At least from what Green could see, they seemed to get along well.
As for Green's harem relationship, Green noticed that Aloof and Tia seemed to have a good relationship. Perhaps it was because they were both princesses and had more topics to talk about? Yuzuriha didn't spend much time with everyone, but she had a good relationship with Mio. Lilith, on the other hand, surprised Green the most. It seemed like she had a good relationship with everyone, and compared to Aloof and the others, she gave off a much more gentle and virtuous vibe. This made Green recall the scene when he first met Lilith.
Indeed, women are so hard to understand in this corrupt society!
"What's wrong, Mio? Could it be... you miss me?"
The two of them sat in a pavilion. This place belonged to Green's family, and apart from a few maids, no one would disturb them. The guards were also unnecessary here. After all, even when Green wasn't around, Mio alone was enough to guard this place.
Hearing Green's teasing words, Mio's adorable face blushed slightly. Although she had a miserable experience when she was young, after gradually being exposed to the outside world, her psychological trauma had mostly healed. If we were to calculate based on human age, Mio could be considered a seventeen-year-old girl in the elf race, both physically and mentally. Therefore, facing provocative words from the opposite sex, she would still feel a bit shy, even though they were already married.
"It's nothing... I just wanted to spend some time alone with Green."
"Of course, no problem."
The method to transform the demon world was still unclear for the time being. In such situations, it would be better to relax. Perhaps inspiration would suddenly emerge at some point, and then a feasible method would be discovered?
And so, Green and Mio spent the whole afternoon sunbathing and enjoying the warm breeze in an indescribable manner.
At dinner time, Green still couldn't come up with any good ideas, which affected his appetite. Lilith noticed this and, aspiring to be an excellent wife, naturally couldn't turn a blind eye.
"My husband, what's wrong?"
"I'm thinking about where to start with world transformation... sigh, I couldn't come up with anything even after thinking for the whole afternoon."
Upon hearing Green's words, Mio, who was eating small bites of food, suddenly froze, and her face turned red to the roots of her ears. She quickly lowered her head, trying to hide her abnormal blush. No one paid attention to this detail because everyone was baffled by Green's words.
World transformation?
How come after not seeing each other for a few days, not only did he bring back an innocent girl, but he also went crazy?
"Husband, what did you just say? I didn't quite catch it... can you say it again?"
"Oh right, speaking of which, I also want you all to go to the demon world and see. I'm even thinking about living there in the future, after all, most parts of it are pretty good, except the scenery is a bit hard to describe..."
Green indeed had a plan to live in the demon world in the long term, especially after observing the overall situation of the demon world. Green discovered that the demon world not only had abundant resources but also had a higher concentration of magic particles in the air. It was natural for the demon race to be stronger than humans when they were born in such a favorable place.
"Green, your idea is truly something that only a few people can come up with..."
Green had previously explained the general situation of the Demon Realm to Aloof and the others, especially the matter of the Three Demon Kings, as well as his evolution into a Demon King with the help of Elsa.
So when they heard Green's idea, although they were a bit confused, they could still somewhat understand.
At least the Demon Realm was not the hellish world described in human legends.
But when they thought about the scenery of the Demon Realm...
Perhaps describing it as hell was not entirely inappropriate.
"Now the problem is, I have no clue how to transform the sky of the Demon Realm. If we don't make it look better, staying there for a long time might make a person abnormal."
The Demon Realm's races were already used to it, but it didn't mean that humans would be as well.
Now that Green was the Demon King, the Demon Realm could be seen as an extension of his power, and the overall environment of the Demon Realm was extremely conducive to the growth of living beings. As long as they could improve their appearance, it would definitely be the preferred settlement.
Moreover, compared to the human world, it was also safer there.
After all, with the Three Demon Kings in control, if they could make the Demon Realm more beautiful and win the hearts of the people, the level of safety would increase once again.
Just then, Aloof suddenly had an idea and her eyes brightened.
"If that's the case, why don't you ask yourself?"
"Myself?"
Green was momentarily confused, but he quickly understood. Aloof was referring to his parallel world counterpart.
That person who almost drained Green of 90% of his strength to save him, indirectly causing Green to have a relationship with Elsa.
But after thinking about it carefully, Aloof's suggestion was indeed feasible.
"When the origin power of the world was mentioned, it was also him who told me. Since he knows such high-level vocabulary, maybe his understanding of the world is much deeper than I imagined..."
Green recalled the information he had obtained from the other during their previous encounter and contemplated that this method might really work.
"Then it's settled. Anyway, I don't have anything to do right now, and it just so happens that he can help me research the Heart of the Universe! Hehe, I'm truly a genius!"
Green couldn't help but admire his own intelligence. He had only just remembered the Heart of the Universe.
After "taking" it from Clitz, Green had always kept it in his personal space and hadn't had the leisure to study it all this time.
By doing so, not only could he explore the secrets behind the world more deeply but perhaps he could also find a way to resist the rules or obtain power through the Heart of the Universe.
Thinking about all this, Green grew excited.
"We can't waste any more time. Let's set off now!"
"No!"
However, just as Green was eagerly preparing to set off, Aloof and the others stopped him in unison, and their next words made Green understand their meaning.
"When you set off initially, you clearly said that you might come back in the evening, but you haven't come back at all since then. Don't you think you should sincerely apologize to us?"
"Um, what do you mean...?"
"Yuzuriha also thinks so. In addition, I saw Green and Mio fooling around this afternoon."
"What?!"
Green didn't expect that he and Mio would be discovered, and by Yuzuriha of all people. Yuzuriha was the last person who seemed likely to notice something like this.
Mio, who had finally managed to suppress her shyness, was overwhelmed by Yuzuriha's words.
Green's face turned awkward instantly.
He hurriedly explained, "Fooling around? Doing something intimate with my own wife, in a place where no one is at our own home... can that be considered fooling around?! You are unjustly accusing me out of nowhere!!"
"I didn't expect that Green would secretly meet with Mio..."
"No, no matter what, you can't get away with it tonight."
"That's right, does that mean we have become insignificant in your heart!?"
Hearing the pursuit of Aloof, Tia, and Lilith, Green's confidence was instantly shattered.
But soon, Green regained his composure.
"Alright, if that's the case, then I won't hold back anymore—I'm coming, my wives!!"
In any case, they were still very happy.
