Chapter 16

"Uh, uh!" Lilith's brother trembled with his teeth chattering. He wanted to crush his teeth because he had lost everything, all the girls.

But when he saw the flames in Lilith's hands, he laughed, "Ahahaha, the Dark Flame! My dear family has become someone else's harem. Who can win against this quality? I have only lost a piece of merchandise. Unfortunately, I have to leave early tonight."

"Bang!" He suddenly flew out of the window and fell into the River Yuwang.

"All the girls I won, go back to your freedom. I have high standards for my harem. Here, there are no commodities, only gambling with money and weapons. But never with people!"

"He only won his harem because he didn't like that person. There's no need to make it sound so noble," Lilith held her chin and looked at me contemptuously.

"Take it as a punishment for his maliciousness. He just had some grievances with that person. Don't pay attention to what he says. Bullying children gives a pleasant feeling and eliminates the tension from before!"

"Oh~~~ So you were just pretending to be calm earlier!"

In the private hall, no one could understand what they were talking about. They only knew that they were exposing me mercilessly.

"Lord of Darkness wants everyone to leave for a while."

"The Lord of Darkness finally came to find you!" I saw the attendant who entered, and it was obvious why the Lord of Darkness had come.

After all the young demons left the room, the Lord of Darkness walked in with big steps. He didn't seem too excited, after all, he was an experienced Demon King. Although there were Demon Kings with unpredictable behaviors, he wasn't one of them.

I took out a bottle of wine from the cabinet in the room and opened it without looking at the vintage. The aroma of the wine poured out was extremely intense.

"You~~~ Don't mind us." I picked up another wine glass and gave it to Nofice, motioning for her to sit down and chat with me.

The Lord of Darkness nodded slightly to show his understanding.

"Nana!"

"Father?" Nana took off the black cap, trembled and walked cautiously to the front of the Lord of Darkness.

"You... didn't report to me!"

"I..."

"I didn't let my sister speak for me! I... am no longer that crying little girl!" Lilith took off her iron mask and faced the Lord of Darkness with her grown-up face! But when the Lord of Darkness saw that face, he couldn't help but reveal his emotions involuntarily.

"Lily!" The Lord of Darkness instantly reacted, "It's... so similar!"

"Mother? I don't remember what she looked like anymore. Although my mother used to be an actress, I dare not look, my father said it's similar, so I probably won't look in the mirror anymore!"

"Girls become ugly if they don't look in the mirror!"

"Qin Yang, if you don't speak, you will die! Give me back the atmosphere I created!"

"Stop talking nonsense! Let me say it for you -- first, Lilith was trying to surprise you, but your reaction has hurt her deeply. Second, Lilith wants to know what happened to her mother!"

"Haha!" The Lord of Darkness finally laughed and touched Lilith's face, saying, "I thought you would be angry at that slap all those years ago?"

"Oh~~ Tell me where my mother is, and I won't be angry."

"She doesn't like the red sky of The Demon Realm. She's been in The Human Realm all this time, in an island country. She is still a big star! It's been so many years and you still haven't met her. You really have bad luck!"

When Nana saw the Lord of Darkness laugh, she finally didn't have to keep her body stiff, but...

"Nana, the punishment for not reporting to me..." Nana suddenly went from being soft to stiff again. The Lord of Darkness's tone and expression were like orders from a superior to a subordinate. "You will continue to stay by the side of Demon Dragon until you leave The Demon Realm! If anything happens, you'll be sent to The Human Realm."

"Nana's itinerary needs to be replanned, right?"

"Don't worry, I won't write it!" Nana knows that I have a resistance to itineraries.

"Wait, Father!! Will Nana stay with Qin Yang? It's safe to have me by her side!"

Lilith's five fingers unfold in front of the King of the Underworld. Both of them simultaneously unleash the flames of the Underworld's fire wall, a majestic and formidable display of power, with neither side showing any intention of backing down.

"Is it because of the contract? Lilith's contract grants her power above the Demon Dragon and below the Demon King, but it's not enough to balance the Demon King properly."

"Lilith only has a triple contract. She has a long way to go before surpassing the Demon King!" Taking a few sips of that strong liquor didn't suit my taste.

"Lilith is fortunate to have such a contract in her lifetime!"

"No need for pleasantries. Lasi, what lies to the east from here?"

"At this time, it's Fuyan! It used to be His Majesty's most solid mobile fortress, always moving along a fixed route. It should be about three hundred kilometers north from here."

"Fuyan, huh?" I wonder if that strange voice I heard earlier is related to it. When constructing this weapon, I didn't sense anything. It shouldn't be related, but I must investigate.

"Your Majesty, may I speak as your father-in-law?"

"Father!" Lilith feels incredibly uncomfortable with the King of the Underworld speaking like this.

"If we switch roles, you don't need to address me as Your Majesty. My surname is Qin, name is Yang, a second-year high school student at The Chishin Academy! And I've privately committed to your daughter for life!"

"To be able to have a contract with Lilith is truly a great honor in one's lifetime!"

"No need for compliments. Lasi, what lies to the east from here?"

A week after the meeting, we slowly made our way north towards the Demon Realm. Along the way, we passed through the territory of Yuzhe. About a hundred kilometers ahead lies the mobile fortress, Fuyan. From this distance, we could already see the massive black shadow floating above the clouds. Fuyan, floating in the smoke, was a fortress that moved along a fixed route. Its name was simpler back then, without the fancy additions it has now.

"If we continue north from Fuyan, we'll enter the territory of the Forest Lord. Hopefully, you'll find what you're looking for on Fuyan."

"Nana, don't you want to cross the border of the Forest Lord's territory or do you think once I step in, I won't be able to come back?"

"Both!"

"Hey! This is a multiple-choice question. Can't you give a more decisive answer?"

"First, it's too cold there, which I don't like. Second, there's a high chance of you being exposed, so it's not a casual decision."

"Where's the evidence?"

"Her!" Nana pointed at Lilith.

"Um~~~" Lilith was a bit puzzled, wondering if it was so easy to guess.
