I was born a god, the son of the Demon Lord.

Xu Yuan pouted.

"Alright, alright, I'll go ask the High Priest later. After all, I've never carried eggs before, so I don't know when these two little ones will be born."

After she finished speaking, she changed the subject, looking at the person on the bed with a smile: "By the way, would you like to go out for a walk?"

Shen Jiuyuan's face was full of disbelief, and he scoffed coldly, "You would be so kind?"

Xu Yuan feigned grievance, raising an eyebrow and retorting, "It's not like I'm usually mean to you."

Shen Jiuyuan was too lazy to pretend with her. He raised his hand and gently shook the black iron chain that bound his wrist. The chain made a crisp, cold sound as it clashed together.

"Isn't that right?"

Xu Yuan gave an awkward, fake cough, trying to clear his name and making up an excuse with a straight face.

"I'm doing this for your and the child's safety. There are many guards and guests coming and going in the Demon Palace outside. If someone careless were to bump into you, it would be a great loss."

Shen Jiuyuan only replied with two words: "Hehe".

Xu Yuan was momentarily speechless at his cold laugh, but even as the Demon Queen, she still had her temper.

"Fine, you dare to laugh at me? Then you can stay here. I was originally planning to take you to pick out some treasures, but that's not going anymore."

As soon as she finished speaking, she turned around and was about to leave.

Wait! Treasure?!

That was the compensation he received after being confined and forced to dribble for a month!

How can it just disappear like that?!

For a whole month, he completely disgraced the Demon Lord with his demonic energy!

If he doesn't even want the treasure, he'll be at a huge loss!

Furthermore, what treasures does the Lord of the Demon Realm possess that aren't valuable?

Absolutely cannot lose it!

The thought flashed through his mind in a flash. Shen Jiuyuan completely disregarded his pride and immediately reached out and grabbed Xu Yuan's wrist!

"Wait a minute! I'll go! I'll go with you!"

A triumphant smile flashed in Xu Yuan's eyes. She slapped his hand away and said in a light tone.

"Want to go now? Too late. I'm not letting you go. Just stay put."

After saying that, he turned to leave.

How could Shen Jiuyuan possibly let her go!

He was imprisoned for a whole month, and he had completely lost face!

Losing face is a loss, whether you lose it once or countless times!

No one from the Demon Realm saw it!

He went all out, reaching out with his long arm to lean over the bed and tightly embrace her waist!

Shen Jiuyuan gritted his teeth and forced out two extremely awkward and unfamiliar terms: "Wife Mistress!"

Xu Yuan was taken aback, quite amazed by the title, especially since it came from the Demon Lord's mouth.

She slowly turned around, a mischievous smile playing on her lips, and stared at him with a sly grin:

"Say it again."

Shen Jiuyuan: "..."

Her ears turned a subtle red!

Tolerate!

For the treasure!

Shout it already!

My mind was racing, my mouth was stiff and wouldn't obey me, and after several struggles, I finally managed to squeeze out two weak and frustrated words:

"Wife...Master..."

Xu Yuan shook his head. "Not sincere."

Shen Jiuyuan gritted his teeth and raised his voice, enunciating each word clearly: "My wife."

Xu Yuan smiled, her eyes crinkling, and slowly replied, "Hey. What do you want?"

Shen Jiuyuan's face was tense, and he was extremely frustrated.

"My compensation."

Xu Yuan raised an eyebrow, feigning ignorance: "Who will compensate you?"

Shen Jiuyuan was instantly enraged, almost exploding with rage: "Wish! You tricked me!"

"Oh ho, you dare to throw a tantrum?"

Xu Yuan raised an eyebrow playfully, "Then I won't go."

After saying that, she tried to pry his hands off and leave.

Shen Jiuyuan was truly at his wit's end. How could there be such a thing as a wishing bird in the world?!

How can you not even tolerate the slightest grievance?!

You just wait, you wish!

After I lay these two eggs, I will definitely lead the Demon Realm to kill them and avenge our humiliation.

I'd rather not be surnamed Shen than not lock you in a birdcage!

I won't leave you a single egg!

He was seething with hatred, but dared not loosen his grip for even a second.

Seeing his frustrated expression as he clutched his sleeves tightly, his face turning from pale to dark, and his anger barely contained, Xu Yuan's smile deepened.

How come she never realized Shen Jiuyuan was so fun before?

What a missed opportunity!

Xu Yuan pretended to forcefully pull his hand away and leave.

"My lady, I was wrong."

Xu Yuan was pleased with his request, but she couldn't agree to it so easily.

"and then?"

Shen Jiuyuan lowered his eyes, "My wife, my compensation..."

Xu Yuan pursed her lips to suppress a laugh and reached out to ruffle Shen Jiuyuan's hair.

The next instant, her fingers flew across the paper, making a few soft hissing sounds.

The forbidden spells binding his right hand, left foot, and right foot were hidden.

Three of the limbs were instantly released, but the thin, gilded chain on the left wrist remained firmly fastened.

Make a wish, hook your fingertip on the end of the chain, and gently pull it.

It is absolutely impossible to completely set Shen Jiuyuan free.

If the Demon Lord were to go out and launch a counterattack, or take the opportunity to escape, she would suffer a greater loss.

But being tied up and dragged out for a walk the whole time is going too far.

He is, after all, a dignified Demon Lord and the biological father of her two children; he still needs to maintain a certain level of decorum in front of outsiders.

Leaving a chain in your hand is not considered imprisonment or humiliation; you still have control firmly in your own hands.

"Let's go."

Xu Yuan, holding the chain, lightly uttered two words.

But Shen Jiuyuan was practically bursting with frustration!

He looked down at the lone chain on his wrist.

Help!

Only one left!

He's still holding her hand!

If you step out of the palace gates and are seen by the servants, guards, and maids of the demon palace!

Does he still care about his reputation as a demon lord who commands respect throughout the three realms and looks down upon all living beings?!

He tried to hold back, but finally couldn't.

"...Can't you at least give me a dignified way out?"

Xu Yuan glanced back at him, her eyes crinkling with mischief, making no attempt to hide her wicked intentions: "No way."

"If you are too presentable and imposing, and your aura overwhelms me when you walk in front of me, then I will have no fun controlling you at all."

Shen Jiuyuan choked so hard that he almost suffered internal injuries.

He, the mighty Demon Lord... has never before humbled himself like this.

"Xu Yuan, could you please consider the mental health of your pregnant husband?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Yuan's eyes gleamed with even more cunning. He immediately withdrew his stance and made as if to turn around and go back to bed.

She looked enlightened and incredibly considerate.

"Oh? You're mentally unhealthy or uncomfortable, right?"

"That's easy."

"We're not going. You should lie down and rest, and try to adjust your mental state."

Shen Jiuyuan: "..."

Is that what I meant?

Shen Jiuyuan reluctantly clasped his hands together, adopting a submissive posture, and even his tone was full of compromise.

"I was wrong, I was wrong. Let's go."

"I'm not tired, I'm perfectly mentally healthy, and I don't have any problems at all."

Fearing she might change her mind and cancel the trip at any moment, he even took the initiative to step forward and open the palace door.

"Please stop messing with me, let's go."

Xu Yuan sighed with quiet regret.

Oh dear, she gave in so quickly? She wasn't done having fun yet.

In the past, when the two armies faced off and were locked in a fierce struggle, all we knew about Shen Jiuyuan was that he was cold and domineering. We never imagined that he would be so interesting and funny.

Pity.

Once these two little ones are born and he recovers his cultivation, he will definitely never have the chance to tease and manipulate him like this again.

Xu Yuan secretly made up his mind.

While he's still carrying the egg and under my control, I must tease and bully him as much as possible, and make up for all the games we never got to play before!
