Side Story (VI): Lin Chenxi, the Demon K
update icon Updated at 2026/1/8 5:30:02

In the Demon Realm of the Beast Kingdom reigned its mightiest sovereign, the Demon King—Lin Chenxi. She had no desire to become the new ruler. The previous Demon King had three children: Lin Tian, Lin Feng, and Lin Chenxi.

Lin Tian and Lin Chenxi had equally matched talents, while Lin Feng’s was extremely poor. The Demon King originally planned to choose between Lin Tian and Lin Chenxi. But Lin Chenxi wasn’t interested in the slightest. She’d even shout to her father, “I don’t want to be empress! Just give it to my big brother!”

So Lin Tian became the new Demon King without lifting a finger. Lin Chenxi lived a carefree life.

Day after day passed, yet Lin Chenxi grew increasingly bored. In her eyes, the world was all the same: slaughter! wealth! beauty! She had no interest in any of it. None of it mattered to her.

Later, her big brother eloped with an Avian Queen. The Demon Realm was invaded by the allied forces of three clans! The Demon Clan elders insisted Lin Chenxi take the throne.

Bored out of her mind, she accepted this thankless task. But she wasn’t interested in fighting. She made peace with the allied forces. She reached an agreement with the three clans—the Human Clan, the White Dragon Clan, and the Five Spirits Clan—that if they didn’t attack her, she wouldn’t attack them. The First World Magic War ended with the Demon Realm’s compromise.

Lin Chenxi then ruled for nearly a millennium, bored out of her mind. Though her appearance hadn’t changed a bit, her heart was on the verge of collapse.

Boredom! Everything was so boring! I want to die! What’s the point of this world? The Creator made us, yet gave us such a boring world! I’m going crazy! I don’t care anymore! Bring me something interesting!

Just then, a Demon Clan messenger reported: “Your Majesty! Lord Demon Sovereign and his family have come to visit!”

“Let them in,” I said.

Lin Tian entered the hall with his two children and his wife, Guli. I looked at my big brother, unseen for years, and the children behind him. But when I saw a two-year-old boy, my eyes twitched slightly.

He was an incredibly adorable little boy! His big, watery eyes looked at me curiously. His tiny hands clutched his uncle’s clothes. His immature yet tender face was slightly flushed. Did such a creature really exist in this world?

Lin Tian told the children, “Quick, greet your aunt!”

They replied in unison, “Hello, Aunt!”

Hearing their greeting, I didn’t realize my face was filled with a smile I hadn’t worn in a thousand years. I chatted with my big brother and learned many interesting things about the Human Realm.

Then he left. I watched them go reluctantly. Suddenly, I realized I hadn’t asked where he lived. I hadn’t even asked my nephew’s name—I only knew he was the Sacred Eye.

My heart started beating for the first time in ages, and my face flushed. Just thinking about my adorable nephew made me feel like melting! Like going crazy!

After that, I spent every day fantasizing wildly: Why am I so stupid? I didn’t even ask my nephew’s name! My adorable nephew, where are you now? Do you miss your aunt? Haven’t you saved your first impression for your cute aunt? Isn’t it only natural for a nephew to adore his aunt?

Nephew, when your eyes awaken! We will surely meet again! Definitely and for sure! I will keep you by my side forever! I can’t live without you! My adorable nephew!
