Becoming a wet nurse is not the end of the story.

"Your Majesty, I just feel that sometimes imperfection is also a kind of beauty, isn't it?"

"Cough cough, you guys, even if you kill me, you still can't beat Nana. In the end, you'll all be dead anyway."

With difficulty, he propped himself up, but the words he uttered made the Demon King feel a sense of humiliation at being despised. Yes, the humiliation of being despised by that damned woman's woman reminded him of the pain he felt when he was defeated.

He stomped heavily on the girl's tender back, watching her writhe in pain, struggle, and helplessly resist, watching her cough up mouthfuls of bright red blood. Only then did the humiliation and displeasure in his heart temporarily subside.

"Little girl, do you realize you talk too much?"

Lin Xueyin weakly raised her head and looked at the two people in front of her with a mocking expression. "You both know that you are not capable of fighting against Nana, right? You are really pathetic. You are about to die and you don't even know it."

"You're about to die? Are you talking about yourself?" The Demon King continued to scorch the girl beneath his feet with eerie blue flames, listening to her increasingly pitiful screams before finally tearing at her long hair with satisfaction.

"My flames will burn your internal organs, but they won't have any effect on your appearance. Aren't you happy that this allows you to retain your beauty?"

"You really are filthy." Her eyes, which she had forced open, were now completely lifeless. The flowing colors of the Dark Priest within Lin Xueyin's body were becoming increasingly obvious, making her realize that this flame seemed to be the key to unlocking the Dark Priest's abilities.

"Dirty? So what if it's dirty? As long as I can win, you'll fall into my hands. Future history books will only write that the great Demon King Luke endured humiliation and finally wiped out the demon rebellion, capturing the rebellious Elufina and her queen. In the end, under the magnanimous Demon King's arrangement, they were allowed to live in the palace and imprisoned there."

As if recalling something that made her happy, the demon lord let out a laugh as unpleasant as an owl's.

"Dream on. With your current abilities, you think you can fight Nana? Your dreams are only suitable for daytime."

"It's laughable that my power is no match for Elufina's. Do you know how powerful I am now? Do you know how much power I've been hiding? Do you really think I'm completely unprepared?"

With a kick, he sent Lin Xueyin crashing against the wall. Seeing the trickle of blood on her lips, the Demon King lifted her rounded chin and placed a magical book in front of her.

"This contains all my backup plans. It's a real pity that you can only look at it. When everything is over, I will have you and your lover serve me together. However, the beauty of ruin doesn't seem to suit you. It's more suitable for my daughter."

A cold voice suddenly interrupted the demon king's maniacal laughter. Lin Xueyin raised her head, pointed her palm at the demon king, and put on a mocking smile.

"If this is what you're relying on, then I'll show you just how fragile your reliance is."

Without any apparent form of manifestation, what appeared was the purest and simplest sacred magical energy, which, to the disbelief of the two, struck the Demon King's face, causing him to howl in pain and roll several meters away.

"You...you're alright."

"Ha, how ridiculous. Do I look like something's wrong?" Lin Xueyin stood up, dusted herself off, and looked at the two people in front of her with a mocking expression. Although she hadn't absorbed enough of that dark blue flame, when she heard that this person was actually going to operate on Elufina, she felt a burning anger inside her, wishing she could tear these two people to pieces.

"But you just clearly..."

"What? Oh, you mean the blood I vomited? That's easy." Lin Xueyin pulled out a bottle filled with scarlet red medicine that had a sweet, fishy smell, and revealed a mischievous smile.

"This kind of thing, as long as you have enough materials, you can have as much as you want. How about it, you want some too? I'll sell it to you. This is a great medicine for home, travel, and even swindling."

Volume 9: The Demon Clan's Journey: Chapter 71 Beaten Like a Dead Dog (Two chapters combined)

Neither of them cared about home or travel, nor about scams or deceptions. However, the fact that this woman, who should have been beaten to the point of vomiting blood and had no power to resist, suddenly stood up like a zombie was a completely unexpected development that terrified the Demon King and Misha Ailu.

"You shouldn't be."

"Um, do you guys think I've lost all my magic power? Actually, I think you don't really understand me. I've been tricked by people using magic suppression techniques several times before. If I get tricked again because of magic power, I guess the readers will all abandon the story."

What the hell is this "reader"? Luke the Demon King was completely baffled, and Misha Ailu was equally clueless, wondering if this reader was the opponent's hidden ultimate weapon.

"Ah, I forgot. You all don't know what readers are. Let me tell you, readers are a group of beings who like to eat pigeons. You don't know what pigeons are? They are mythical beasts, incredibly powerful beasts that can kill without leaving a trace. It's a pity that, faced with readers' urging for more updates, they can only become increasingly rare."

"Are readers that powerful?" How could he, as the Demon King, not have heard of such a race? If they exist, could he capture both Elufina and Lin Xueyin?

"Well, now that you know about the existence of readers, there's nothing you can do about it."

Lin Xueyin looked at the Demon King with a wicked grin, his expression shifting from bewildered to expectant. She loved this mixture of confusion and anticipation, knowing that she would soon cast them into the abyss, condemning them to eternal damnation.

"Hmph, you really think you've got us figured out? Don't be so arrogant, you don't know who you are."

The Demon King grinned maliciously. Although he couldn't find these readers for the time being, it didn't mean he would lose to this little girl. The flames in his hand shot out again, but were scattered by a golden light in mid-air.

"That's all your flames can do. If it can directly erode magic power, then just let the magic power self-destruct and die together. What's so great about that?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Lin Xueyin's staff continued to move, and dozens of holy swords around her rushed out, knocking Misha Ailu, who wanted to take the opportunity to launch a sneak attack, back to where she had been standing before.

"Hey, I know you're shameless, so don't do something as dirty as sneak attacks. Anyway, you'll only humiliate yourself if you do it."

"The greatest shame would have been if I hadn't stabbed you a few times back then."

Misha Ailu wasn't so patient as to let Lin Xueyin mock her without making a move. Enraged, she attacked instantly, her longsword transforming into a rainbow, aimed straight at Lin Xueyin's head. She wanted nothing more than to behead this eyesore with a single stroke.

"Tsk tsk, that's really scary." Lin Xueyin mocked, reaching out, but instead of creating a barrier to block her attack as she expected, it unexpectedly caught her attack with one hand. With a flick of the wrist, her body involuntarily changed direction.

The Demon King reached out and caught Misha Ailu, who was lunging at him. If she hadn't been thrown towards him, he would have already been close enough to deliver a devastating blow to Lin Xueyin. Unfortunately, everything was witnessed by her.

"They really are a couple, always thinking of shameless sneak attacks."

At this moment, Lin Xueyin saw that the two had collided. A sharp golden light flashed in her eyes, and she no longer raised her staff to say anything imposing.

With a slight parting of her lips, revealing her pearly teeth, and a gentle lift of her hand, holy light shone forth. Hundreds of holy swords, composed of holy light, traversed the sky, unleashing a barrage of attacks on the pair of illicit lovers.

"Feel the spirit that single people should have."

What on earth is this girl spouting? Neither the readers nor single people can understand a word she's saying. And right now, there's no time to think about that. Hundreds of holy swords rained down like a storm; even the Demon King with his Devouring Demon Flame couldn't withstand it.

"Who can withstand this attack?"

With a furious roar, the barrier formed by demonic flames cracked slightly. Misha Ailu, who was being protected behind it, turned around and looked at the Demon King who had been protecting her all along, a relieved smile appearing on her face.

"Your Majesty, you saved me back then, and now it is time for me to repay you."

He spread his arms wide, his inner power surging, quickly reaching its peak. Intense battle qi swirled around him, forming vortexes, and the mere gust of wind from a raised hand was enough to make the holy swords vanish instantly.

Faced with this enemy who suddenly appeared, Lin Xueyin frowned slightly, but showed no fear. Her attack just now was nothing more than a casual move. If they thought that was her trump card, they were underestimating her.

“Little girl, you deserve to die. The demon god says that all who resist must die.”

Demon God? Frowning slightly, she realized that the princess had actually mentioned the Demon God, suggesting that this warrior race might have some connection to the Demon God.

"Whoever stands in the way of the Demon King, I will destroy them one by one."

A loud shout was followed by Misha Ailu's frenzied attack, but all of this vanished without a trace, leaving no room for further disturbance.

Damn it, damn it, why, why did the shield that could be easily broken before not even cause a ripple? Looking at the girl's annoying, indifferent expression inside, Misha Ailu felt an urge to tear her apart constantly swirling in her heart.

"Haha, with so little strength, you dare to say you want to kill me?" He yawned widely, and the next moment, a wisp of dark blue flame appeared on his barrier.

"How about adding my attack? Let's see if we can break through your turtle shell."

Seeing that his queen was unable to break through his defenses, the Demon King couldn't resist joining in. Lin Xueyin smiled coldly, her eyes flashing with a sharp light. A beam of holy light shot out from her body, piercing a hole in the magic array above her head that was suppressing divine magic power, and even tearing off the house above it.

In the distance, even the most foolish guards would know that something had happened to Lin Xueyin inside. Meanwhile, Besna, Ailiya, and the others felt a growing unease as they watched the soaring light.

"Yukine, please don't let anything happen to you."

With a fluctuating expression, Besna had already informed the Demon King of Lin Xueyin's current situation, but she never expected that such a major incident would occur so soon. How was she going to explain this to His Majesty the Demon King?

"Yukine..."

A cold voice came from mid-air, and a black dragon descended from the sky, revealing Elufina's figure to everyone.

He came personally just because he heard that the princess was investigating the clues herself. It seems that the Demon King's affection for the princess is extraordinary.

"Bessna, what's wrong with you? I asked you to protect Yukine, and this is how you protect her?"

The enormous black dragon spread its wings and landed on the square in front of the palace, flattening all the surrounding houses. At this moment, Elufina didn't care about the lives of these innocent people. In her eyes, the fact that Lin Xueyin was in danger in Izumo City already signaled their impending destruction.

"Your Majesty, the Demon King, you have come..."

"Alright, enough of this nonsense. I'm going to check on Yukine first. You guys wait here."

A silvery laugh echoed from the depths of the palace, followed by a familiar voice. Two curled-up bodies flew out of the air, and a blonde girl appeared in everyone's sight.

"Hey? Isn't this Nana? What brings you here?"

"How did I get here? You almost scared me to death! How did I get here? Is this a place you can just take risks like this? Don't you know how worried I was when I heard you went to investigate?"

Seeing Elufina's eyes, reddened with worry for him, he couldn't help but feel a pang of panic. It seemed he had indeed done something terrible.

"What's wrong with you, little girl? Are you scared now?" Seeing the little girl sticking out her tongue guiltily and even turning her face away, Elufina chuckled and was about to ask about her grades.

"Nana, stop talking about me, look at the gift I brought you."

Thinking of the gift she had prepared for Nana, Lin Xueyin wore a proud expression, which amused Elufina, who took her little hand and led her to the two unidentified objects.

"What are these two things?" It was pitch black, and it was impossible to tell what they were. They were just unidentified objects that had been smashed together.

"Huh? You can't tell? This is the former Demon King and his queen who was kept hidden here."

Lin Xueyin didn't consider the man in front of her to be her wife's father, given his sarcastic remarks. At least, the messages he conveyed while speaking to her had already made Lin Xueyin completely disgusted with him.

"You're saying this is my father?" Elufina stared in shock at the proud-looking girl in front of her. How could she have beaten her father to such a state? It was simply too shocking, no, it was unbelievable.

"Little girl, are you sure this is my father? No, my father has two demon horns, this person..."

Before the words "no" could even be uttered, two sharp demon horns appeared in Lin Xueyin's hands, which, judging from their shape, had been broken off by her.

"You broke his horn?"

"Yeah, those horns are so annoying, they almost hurt me, why didn't I break them?" Lin Xueyin pouted, thinking about the trouble those devil horns had caused her, which made her want to smash them to pieces.

"You really gave me a big surprise." Elufina kissed Lin Xueyin's delicate cheek heavily, and hugged her tightly in her arms in her excitement.

"Um, Nana, don't do that, there are people watching."

The shy young girl buried her head in her beloved's arms, leaving only her bright red earlobes to evoke endless fantasies.

Elufina hadn't expected that Lin Xueyin would be able to capture the Demon King alive. Including the Barbarian King she had captured before, two kings had already fallen to this little girl, which truly made her look at her with new respect.

However, upon closer examination, this matter became terrifying. If Yukine were to fail, she would face a fate worse than death.

She really wanted to give her a lecture, but seeing how happy she was, she decided to save it for later. Right now, Elufina just wanted to spend some quality time with her and make up for all the waiting she had gone through.

"Hey, Nana, don't touch me! Don't touch me here! There are so many people here!" Lin Xueyin, who had already been lifted onto the black dragon's head by Elufina, kept struggling.

Aria and Besna exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with wry smiles. This demon king really didn't know the difference between time and place. Poor little Yukine, she's going to be carried off by wolves again.

"Elufina, if you touch me again, I'll fight you! Waaah, stop touching me!"

"I'm just checking if you're injured. Look at all these burn marks on your body. Do you still dare to say you're fine? When we get back, I'll give you a thorough check-up."

"You're such a scoundrel! How could I have someone like you... someone like you?"

"What is this? Do you dare to say it out loud?"

"Hmm, what a husband!" Lin Xueyin's change of address caused the crowd below to burst into laughter, as they watched the black dragon in mid-air gradually disappear into the horizon.

In a dark corner of Izumo Castle, a figure coldly watched the direction the black dragon had departed.

"Unexpectedly, that demon king was so easily defeated, beaten into such a pathetic state by a little girl. It's truly disappointing."
