My front door leads to a comic strip

Chapter 244, Section 243: Manipulating Frey, Madam, your wings are in my hands, and you don't want to—

It took her a moment to come to her senses.

"What are you doing?"

Gu Yuan's answer was obvious, and he casually put the item into his bracelet. "Of course, we'll roast it and eat it."

"Grilled—and eaten?!"

Frey took a deep breath of the scorching air, which instantly aggravated the severe injury in her chest, triggering a heart-wrenching cough.

She even began to wonder if her ears had been damaged in the explosion.

Why would anyone think of eating this?

No! That's not the point at all! She is the noble Queen of the Sky!

Her wings are sacred weapons and symbols of glory, not food!

Gu Yuan completely ignored the turbulent emotions churning in her eyes, muttering to himself, "Only by evolving to a higher level of life form can the effects of the skill be fully realized."

"A thousand times faster thinking speed is only the limit for an ordinary demon king—"

Seeing that he ignored her, Frey forcibly suppressed the metallic taste and boiling blood surging in her throat.

Although they couldn't understand why humans had such a bizarre hobby, the thought of reclaiming their wings and upholding their last vestige of dignity overwhelmed everything else.

Taking advantage of the moment Gu Yuan whispered, she squeezed out all the remaining strength in her body and pounced on Gu Yuan, her target being the storage bracelet!

Unfortunately, his intentions had already been seen through.

Gu Yuan, in perfect condition, simply turned slightly to the side and easily dodged her slow and clumsy attack due to her weakness.

Without even making any extra movements, he swung his hand back, and a flash of cold light streaked across the sky.

puff!

Frey felt a chill on her neck, and her vision began to spin.

The last thing she saw was her own smooth but headless body, standing stiffly on the scorched earth, blood gushing out like a fountain from her severed neck.

But in just one breath, the head was reconnected, and the skin returned to its smooth state, as if it had never been severed.

However, the sight of them standing naked on the barren, scorched earth was particularly bizarre and tragic.

Gu Yuan squinted at the scene, clicking his tongue inwardly, "The Demon King of this world has such outrageous regenerative abilities. It seems I can only adapt to it."

In theory, he himself, with his regeneration skills and sufficient magic energy, could also do this, but the consumption would be extremely high, making it far from the best option.

Just as Frey's anger intensified, and humiliation and rage were about to drive her to launch another desperate attack.

Gu Yuan's senses detected a familiar source of magic rapidly approaching—it was Ramiris.

His mind raced, and he instantly weighed the pros and cons.

Continuing to entangle with this will only result in meaningless consumption of magic energy and physical strength, and may even force Ramiris to reveal more of her trump cards prematurely after witnessing this chaotic scene.

Not worth the candle.

He slowly exhaled a breath of stale air, his voice regaining its previous calmness, and said, "That's enough."

Frey's ready-to-go movement froze.

"Continuing like this is just a pointless waste of time," Gu Yuan stated calmly. "How about we each take a step back?"

"————" Frey stared at him intently, her eyes like knives.

"I can--"

Gu Yuan paused deliberately, then clearly uttered each word, "I won't eat your wings for now."

"But correspondingly."

He continued, "As long as I remain in this world, you need to follow my instructions."

"Follow my instructions?" Frey paused, her eyes filled with absurdity, wariness, and deep humiliation.

To make her, a supreme demon lord, obey the orders of a human?

This is even more unacceptable than simply killing her!

"What exactly do you want to do?"

"It's simple." Gu Yuan ignored her reaction. "I just want to grow stronger quietly, without being disturbed unnecessarily."

"If you agree, I can return half of your wings first."

He shook the bracelet on his wrist, a casual gesture that conveyed a sense of control.

Frey was struggling violently.

The dual pride of being both a winged queen and a demon king screamed in her mind in rejection.

But—wings!

That was not only part of her strength, but also a symbol of her dignity!

If other demon kings, or even her own people, were to find out that her wings had been harvested and stored by humans as food, her majesty as the Sky Queen would be completely shattered!

The lesser of two evils.

Is temporary, unknown humiliation better than a stain that everyone knows about?

Realizing her own powerlessness, she bit her lower lip hard until she tasted blood, then forced out two words through gritted teeth: "Success!"

"Okay." Gu Yuan did as she was told, taking a wing from his bracelet and tossing it back to her.

Frey practically lunged forward to catch him, quickly pressing him against the broken wound on his back.

The granulation tissue twitched again. She raised her eyes, glaring at Gu Yuan with her last breath, and issued a stern warning: "I admit defeat today! But you absolutely cannot tell anyone! Nobody!"

Then, clutching her still aching chest, she just wanted to leave this place that had humiliated her so much immediately and return to her palace.

"Now, can I leave?"

Gu Yuan waved his hand: "Whatever."

However, just as Frey instinctively tried to flap her wings and fly away, her movements suddenly froze.

A chill ran through her skin, and she immediately realized that she was completely naked!

If we fly back to the Skywing Kingdom like this—

"etc!"

She blurted out, almost without thinking, "Do you have any clothes? Men's clothes are fine too." Her voice was filled with unprecedented embarrassment and awkwardness.

Gu Yuan frowned, glanced back at her with an expression that seemed to say "What a nuisance," but ultimately said nothing more.

He casually took out a spare piece of black clothing from his bracelet and tossed it over without even looking at it.

Frey took the clothes, deeply dissatisfied with Gu Yuan's perfunctory attitude, but at this moment the situation was beyond her control, so she could only swallow her anger and quickly put them on.

Just wait and see.

The oversized clothes covering her newborn body looked somewhat out of place. She secretly vowed, "Once I return from Qi Yi and regain my strength, I'll make you pay!"

I must get all my wings back! I absolutely cannot let you eat them! That's my bottom line!

Finally, when Ramiris's figure was seen flying in from the horizon.

Without lingering, she soared into the sky, her disheveled state and her heart filled with humiliation, disappearing instantly into the clouds.

Ramiris landed beside Gu Yuan, looking at him with concern: "Are you alright? That explosion just now—"

"I'm fine."

Gu Yuan shook his head, his gaze still fixed on the direction Frey had disappeared in. Beneath his calm exterior, he thought to himself:

Not eating? Impossible.

-

Such top-quality ingredients contain magical elements and potential beyond imagination.

The time isn't ripe yet to ensure we have enough to eat every day. It's fine to temporarily have her care for us.

Ramiris stared at his calm profile, her mind filled with questions about the explosion, why Frey had left, and what had just happened here.

But she sensed that Gu Yuan didn't want to talk about it anymore, and she knew that now was not the time to press him.

"What will we do next?"

She asked softly, her voice filled with deep worry.

After all, having completely offended a demon king, the subsequent troubles are predictable.

Gu Yuan exhaled, as if dispelling all the noise, and felt that the world was finally a little quieter.

"Go home," he said simply, then turned and walked steadily toward the entrance of the maze. "We'll talk about the future later."

"Home?"

Ramiris paused for a moment, looking at Gu Yuan's matter-of-fact back, then turned back to look at the scorched earth that had just experienced a Demon King-level conflict.

In the end, she channeled all her complex emotions into a faint sigh, spread her wings, and flew low, silently following O.

Not long after, in the royal palace of the Tianyi Kingdom.

*Snap!*

Frey ripped off the men's clothing that belonged to Gu Yuan and threw it hard on the ground.

The friction of the fabric seemed to linger on her newborn skin, constantly reminding her of the unforgettable humiliation she had recently experienced.

Boom boom boom!

Just then, there was a rapid and impolite knocking on the dormitory door.

"Who is it?!" Frey was extremely agitated, her voice filled with barely suppressed anger. "Didn't I tell you? Don't bother me if you have nothing to do!"

However, the person outside the door seemed to completely disregard her orders.

With a loud "bang," the heavy door was violently kicked open from the outside!

Frey was furious and about to explode when she saw the carefree figure that skipped and hopped in.

She was a girl with pink pigtails and a bright smile on her face.

She was standing on the door, hands on her hips.

"Frei! Frei! Where have you been all this time?"

"Why do you look so disheveled? Your breathing is much weaker!"

The moment Frey saw the girl, her anger froze, and she stood there stunned.

"you--"
