Luxiu suffered the greatest defeat of his life. The Demon King's Crown, the source of his power, had been shattered.

That meant he’d be nothing but a helpless weakling from now on.

After getting used to such overwhelming power, how could he possibly accept that fate without a fight?

The Demon King raised his face and glared at the girls and mature women surrounding him.

“Your crown’s shattered. What’re you still acting tough for? Nobody’s scared of you now.”

Sarah picked up her staff and prodded the Demon King in the forehead without the slightest courtesy.

“Big Sis Sarah, he’s a boy, and he doesn’t have the power to hurt anyone anymore. We girls shouldn’t stoop to his level.”

Kindhearted Liliya saw Luxiu putting on a brave front despite looking so pitiful, and couldn’t help speaking up for him.

“Know when to quit, kid. You’re our prisoner now, so you might as well accept it.”

Luna raised her delicate hand and discreetly moved Sarah’s staff away from Luxiu’s forehead.

“Accept it? This great king would never accept his fate! Once the Red Moon is over, I’ll tear you all limb from limb.”

Luxiu was fuming, with just a trace of hope left in his heart. In short, he was all bluster and no bite.

Among the demons, people said that losing the Demon King’s Crown meant losing your power.

But so far, aside from Luxiu, there’d never been a case of a Demon King losing his power because his crown was destroyed.

Maybe the Demon King’s power would return once the Red Moon ended!

“You’re quite the optimist, little guy. Tell your big sister—what’s your name?”

Luna didn’t take him seriously. She even brazenly ruffled the Demon King’s hair.

“Fat woman, you’re not worthy of knowing this great king’s name.”

Luxiu didn’t bother showing the hateful woman any respect. He slapped away the hand she’d been using to mess with him.

“‘This great king’? Hahaha! You sound like a three-year-old. Prideful Demon King, how old are you? Have you been weaned yet?”

Sarah burst out laughing, her words dripping with mockery.

“Pfft…”

Liliya couldn’t hold back either, and the corners of her mouth curled into a smile.

She thought the Demon King was so cute.

“Why don’t you tell everyone what’s so great about you?”

Luna was only too happy to stir things up.

“I… I’m mighty, towering, and great. How could a bunch of people like you possibly understand?”

The Demon King hadn’t suffered such humiliation in a long time. He gritted his teeth in anger, then, after a long pause, squeaked out a defense of himself.

“Pfft! You sure know how to flatter yourself. You’re clearly a little shrimp, and you call yourself ‘towering’? Aren’t you embarrassed?”

Sarah laughed so hard she clutched her stomach, tears of laughter spilling from her eyes.

The Demon King of legend wasn’t scary at all.

“I’d be taller than all of you if I put on my demon armor! Go on, laugh! I dare you!”

Luxiu was hopping mad at the retort. His bare, delicate foot came down right on Sarah’s boot.

“How old are you, kid? I hear demons aren’t considered adults until they’re a hundred.”

Watching the little Demon King act like a child, Luna really did wonder if he might still be an underage demon.

“One hundred and one. And I’m not a kid. You can call me King Luxiu, you fat woman.”

Not wanting to be looked down on, Luxiu answered quite readily this time, accidentally letting his name slip.

“This Demon King has done so many evil things. We should think of ways to make him suffer.”

Xiya, who was usually quiet, spoke at unusual length.

Simply taking away the little Demon King’s power wasn’t enough to soothe the hatred in her heart.

“We could take the Demon King back as a prisoner and put him on tour, so everyone can see how pathetic he looks. It’d humiliate him and make us money. Oh, and doesn’t he have an immortal body? We could offer a service where ordinary people get to beat him up, too. They could experience what it’s like to trample the Prideful Demon King underfoot. We’d charge per session…”

Money-minded Sarah couldn’t wait to share her idea.

“Um… why don’t we help Luxiu turn over a new leaf? Doesn’t he have human blood? We could have him become a good person and do good deeds from now on… That could count as atonement, too.”

Liliya’s idea was simple and earnest.

“Little Xiya, Little Sarah, and Little Liliya… are you all virgins?”

The mature elf seemed to have something on her mind as she asked the question with a mysterious air.

At her words, Liliya lowered her head shyly, while Sarah couldn’t help glancing at Luxiu.

As for Xiya, she remained expressionless.

“Heh heh, looks like we all are. But it’s nothing to be ashamed of. Everyone knows men are scarce in this world. Lots of women go their whole lives without ever meeting one. Don’t you want to find out what the Demon King’s like? I hear that in certain establishments, a single incubus is worth a fortune.”

Luna gave them a suggestive smile that any woman would understand, her pink tongue casually licking her sexy red lips.

“What’s that fat woman talking about? Is she planning to eat me?”

Luxiu only half understood what he was hearing. When it came to that sort of thing, he was utterly innocent.

“Big Sis Luna, we can’t! How could we do that to him…?”

Liliya’s face turned even redder. She crossed her hands in front of her and firmly objected.

“He’s our prisoner, our spoils of war. We can do whatever we want with him, and it’s not like anyone can stop us.”

Sarah hadn’t been thinking along those lines, but after hearing Luna’s suggestion, she found herself tempted.

In this damn world, men were as rare as giant pandas. Most were monopolized by the nobles, and the few left over were all sorry-looking cases who still acted high and mighty. Ninety-nine percent of women were doomed to spend their lives untouched.

She’d lived for over twenty years, yet this female mage had never even held a man’s hand. She couldn’t help wondering what it felt like.

“Little Xiya, what about you?”

Luna wanted Xiya’s crucial vote.

“If it makes him suffer, I don’t care.”

Xiya’s expression was cold. It was as if there was no room in her heart for anything but revenge.

“Little Liliya, it’s three to one. The vote’s passed.”

Luna announced the result with a smile.

“Sigh…”

The minority had to go along with the majority. Liliya didn’t know what else to do, so she could only accept Luna’s decision.

She sneaked a glance at the incredibly handsome little Demon King, and an unfamiliar restlessness stirred in her pure heart.

“Since we’re already in the Demon King’s bedroom, why don’t we all find out what he’s like?”

Luna herself was still a virgin, but the things she said were bold and uninhibited.

“What are you idiots talking about? Heh. You think you can make this great king afraid? Forget it! Not a chance!”

The clueless Luxiu had no idea what fate awaited him.

He was about to become a shared piece of equipment.

“Luna, you’re so desperate, so you go first. I care about hygiene. At least wash him before you use him.”

Sarah cursed the “slutty elf” under her breath, then rejected the incredibly tempting offer through sheer force of will.

“I… I don’t need to.”

Liliya shook her head again and again, then turned away, so embarrassed she looked ready to start steaming.

“I’m not interested. Do whatever you want. Just make sure he suffers.”

Xiya hoisted her greatsword onto her shoulder and walked straight out of the Demon King’s bedroom.
