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

"Mmm..." Lin Xueyin tried to struggle and say something, but seeing the sadness that flashed in her eyes, she ultimately didn't say anything. She just softly fell into the other's arms and let her take what she wanted.

The sweetness was irresistible to her, and Elufina tried to suppress the burning desire in her heart, but her hands seemed to be controlled by some mysterious force, gradually climbing onto the girl's full breasts.

"Ugh... Yukine, you actually bit me."

Before they could go any further, Elufina was forced to straighten up, separating their lips that had just been intertwined. Upon closer inspection, her once full lips now bore a faint trace of pink.

"Hmph, you're one to talk! What kind of place is this? Do you think you can take advantage of me?" Whether out of anger or embarrassment, Lin Xueyin's pretty face was flushed.

"Speak, what happened this time? You pulled this stunt without saying a word, something must have gone wrong again."

Although she didn't know the specifics, Lin Xueyin knew her husband well; he wouldn't have lost his composure like this unless it was something really serious.

"I...."

"Don't lie to me. We agreed that neither of us would lie to the other."

Before the other party could speak, she cut off what she wanted to say. Lin Xueyin looked at the demon king in front of her with a half-smile, who had been momentarily stunned by her actions. She suddenly felt a sense of satisfaction after taking revenge.

She let out a deep breath. She knew herself just as well as she knew her. Elufina's original plan to casually brush it off had to be shattered.

Shrugging, Elufina recounted what had happened at the meeting that day, then sat down in the chair where Lin Xueyin was sitting, and pulled her onto her lap in a self-deprecating manner.

With amusement, he gently traced his finger across Elufina's smooth cheek. "You're troubled by your friend's betrayal, aren't you? As for the Demon King, I think you've already made your decision."

"Yes, the former Demon King, who is also my father, I can't think of any reason to let him live, so..."

"So, you want to use him as bait to see how many fish you can catch, and see if any of them are the big fish you're hoping for, right?"

“That’s right. He’s the only lead right now. This is the only way to break the deadlock and bring some things that are buried at the bottom of the water to the surface.”

Holding the girl tightly around the waist, Elufina rested her head on the girl's face, feeling her warmth and softness.

"Nana, don't worry too much about me. There are some things I don't understand, but I believe in you. You have your own difficulties, and no matter what, I will support your decision."

The soft voice of the girl in her arms gradually calmed Elufina's heart, and she couldn't help but kiss her cheek.

"It's so good to have you."

"Good to know. Okay, have some snacks first and refresh your mind. Your biggest problem isn't here. Take a break, and you'll tell me a very, very long story later."

Lost in thought again, the girl saw through his thoughts once more. He tried to brush it off, but failed. He could only affectionately tap her small nose and reveal a warm smile.

"Yes, it's a very long story, and I'll tell you about it slowly."

Holding the girl in her arms, Elufina felt as if she had returned to those many great battles of the past.

Volume 10: The Reviving Demon God: Chapter 6: The Guard

Elufina confided everything about her relationship with Elishil to Lin Xueyin, only to find Lin looking at her with a half-smile, her eyes full of teasing.

"Little girl, what kind of expression is that? How can you look at your husband like that?"

"Hmph, you're not my husband, you're my wife." Lin Xueyin frowned, but didn't dwell on the topic.

"However, Nana, I really didn't expect you to have such a childhood sweetheart, oh no, I should say fiancé. Would you say I'm a third party in your relationship?"

Without saying a word, he showed Lin Xueyin the consequences of her words with his actions. After a deep kiss, the outspoken girl slumped softly in his arms.

"Nana, you're cheating."

"Don't you like this kind of cheating?" Elufina asked with a smile, her finger touching the girl's pouting cherry lips, full and moist.

However, the other person had no intention of cooperating with the enjoyment of her fingers, and turned her head away in dissatisfaction. Lin Xueyin muttered, "Hmph, who would like that? If someone does, you can go and kiss her."

"Little girl, still so stubborn. Should I...?"

"Huh? Nana, can't you be serious for once? You were so serious just now, and now you've changed your style to this, this. Hmm, isn't the focus on your friend right now?"

Speaking of Alexir, Elufina shook her head with a wry smile, "You know, even if it's painful, that's all you can do. Do you think I should trust Krastrom or my friend?"

"Tch, so Krastom isn't your friend anymore? You'll be upset no matter who you believe, so what's there to hesitate about? Since you brought the information, it proves you want to see for yourself if you can clear Elisil's name. Now that you've made your decision, what's there to hesitate about? Is that what you mean?"

Unexpectedly, Lin Xueyin saw through her thoughts once again. Elufina could only be thankful that she was now her woman. This meant that the demons had one less enemy and she had one more lover.

"Hey Nana, what bad things are you thinking about now?"

Narrowing her eyes, Lin Xueyin felt that the woman's gaze was somewhat strange, definitely not thinking anything good. Of course, after she was in her hands this time, the woman completely tore off her hypocritical face from back in the Ten Thousand Mountains and turned into a wolf.

"Little girl, is there still something you're unhappy about?"

Lin Xueyin knew from this woman's irrelevant answer that she was definitely not thinking anything good. However, she had no evidence at the moment, so she could only let Elufina, who was holding her tightly, let out a long, happy laugh.

"You're still laughing."

She angrily punched Elufina's chest lightly with her small hand, a gesture that appeared so delicate and ambiguous.

"You little rascal, you're really too ruthless." Gently rubbing the spot where she had been hit, Elufina's eyes were full of doting affection.

Lin Xueyin grumbled in dissatisfaction, showing no remorse whatsoever. After all, this demon king was thick-skinned and tough; what difference would a beating make? Wasn't she even more ruthless when she tormented her before?

As if touching the girl's pouting cherry lips with the pad of her index finger, Elufina looked at the spoiled girl with doting eyes.

"Alright, try this pastry first. It was made especially for you."

He opened his mouth and ate the small piece of pastry that Elufina handed him. The taste was just so-so. She even said it was specially made for him. Humph. He reached out and took another piece from a small plate not far away and put it in his mouth.

Well, I only ate it to give Nana some face. The taste was just so-so, I didn't really want to eat it.

The two enjoyed a rare moment of relaxation in the garden, with a gentle breeze and comfortable sunshine. Lin Xueyin nestled against Elufina, quietly enjoying each other's company in the garden.

"The Princess and His Majesty are truly in love." Behind them, the maids who had been hiding at a distance looked at the two of them with envy.

Needless to say, the Demon King is strict, but completely different from the previous Demon King. The previous Demon King was brutal; if a maid made even the slightest mistake, she could be killed on the spot. Even if she didn't make any mistakes, he wouldn't let go of any maid who had even a hint of beauty. And afterwards, instead of rising to prominence, she would be brutally tortured to death.

Now things are better. The Demon King is a woman, and although she likes women, judging from her doting affection for her queen, she probably won't harm her maids. At least their safety is guaranteed. Even if they make mistakes, the punishment won't be so severe. All in all, their safety is somewhat assured.

"That's right, the princess is so lucky to have such a doting love from His Majesty the Demon King." The two, who were inseparable, gave the people behind them a whole bunch of dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection), but they remained calm and watched with great interest.

Their long purple and gold hair shone brightly in the sunlight, making them particularly eye-catching. Although their voices were unintelligible, one could see the longing in their eyes as they looked at each other.

"Look, His Majesty's lips are always turned up when he talks to the Princess. Indeed, the Princess can keep our His Majesty so happy."

"Isn't that a must? The Princess Consort is His Majesty's most beloved and only consort."

"Hmph, you talk too much. If you keep gossiping like this, I'll arrest you all." A cold voice rang out like thunder in the ears of the three maids, silencing them instantly.

"Commander."

Her cold gaze swept over the gossiping maids before turning away, where the two intertwined figures became glaringly obvious.

Is this how a demon king should be? To be so infatuated with a mere human woman—that woman truly deserves to die.

He gripped the longsword at his waist tightly, his hand resting on the hilt, then slowly released it, before turning away coldly.

The three maids finally breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing their commander leave. This commander really was...

From afar, Elufina took a sip of red tea, then turned and kissed the girl in her arms. She knew perfectly well what had happened in between; that obnoxious hand was even playfully pounding the Demon King's chest—was that a place for her? Damn woman, you truly deserve to die.

Volume 10: The Reviving Demon God: Chapter 7 The High Priest

The enormous altar radiated a blood-red light, with ferocious demon statues flanking it like guardians.

Ahead, a man slowly stepped out. His sharp, cold features were framed by deep, icy eyes that radiated a sinister charm, while a faint, indifferent smile played on his purple lips.

He stepped out slowly, unlike the people around him, wearing a white cotton robe with a silver collar, with white lotus flowers faintly visible on the clothes. A red ribbon tied his long, golden hair into a neat ponytail, adding an eerie charm to the man.

"The arrival of the Grand Marshal has filled me with trepidation."

"Oh? To make the High Priest feel apprehensive, that is truly the greatest compliment you can give me."

No sooner had the high priest finished speaking than a cold, clear voice came from a hidden corner, causing a moment of panic among the black-cloaked people who had been praying there.

"Calm down, everyone. This person is not our enemy. You may all leave now."

The high priest was slightly displeased by his subordinates' panic, but he showed no sign of it on his face. He simply waved his hand, dismissing them for the time being, leaving behind a different kind of cold silence.

"The Grand Marshal's arrival here suggests he has already obtained the information we sought." Even after his subordinates left, the high priest's face remained expressionless. He addressed the altar, but his words were directed at the visitor lurking in the shadows.

"High Priest, are you really not going to have a chat with me? You're just asking me this directly. Aren't you afraid I'll try to raise the price?"

"You've already asked for more than you need. Do you really need to raise the price further?" A smile played on his lips, leaving the person in the shadows speechless for a moment.

The other party did not speak, and the high priest did not continue to speak. Instead, he closed his eyes, hiding his silver pupils behind his eyelids, and muttered something in a language of an unknown era.

"That statue is already in the Demon King's hands."

The high priest, who had been chanting, paused upon hearing the news, opened his eyes again, and his eyes were now filled with fear.

"Lin Xueyin actually gave the statue to the Demon King. Isn't she worried that the statue was originally something the Demon King needed?"

"What does she have to worry about? The Demon King spoils her rotten. What does she have to be afraid of?"

His tone was filled with anger towards Lin Xueyin, which slightly dissipated the apprehension in the high priest's eyes. It seemed that the grand marshal was also dissatisfied with the queen. However, considering his request, he could understand it.

"Is it possible to get it?"

"Okay, but I need you to give me a deposit."

A tall, slender figure slowly emerged from the shadows. His dark, tight-fitting clothes revealed his tall, thin body. Yet, this slender figure commanded the army of the western demon race, making him a true power holder.

"What's wrong? Is our Marshal Elisil getting impatient?"

With a smile in his eyes, the high priest turned to look at the man who had appeared behind him. "Let me think... it seems that the queen has returned to the Demon King's Castle."

"Hmph, your previous henchman, the former Demon King Luke, has already been captured alive by that woman. I think Elufina will find out about me soon. What good will it do you if I'm found out?"

His gaze paused slightly before he shook his head and said, "It wouldn't benefit me. However, we're still lacking quite a few things. If possible, I hope you can help us prepare everything."

The dagger in his hand flashed with a cold light, stopping in front of the high priest, but he failed to see any change in the high priest's expression as he had hoped.

"Marshal Elisil, I think your file is already on Elufina's desk. Are you sure you want to break ties with us here?"

"Hmph, what do you need? If it goes too far, I think I still have a way out."

Upon hearing the other party utter the word "way out," the High Priest burst into laughter. "My Grand Marshal, do you think you still have a way out? Not to mention helping your predecessor escape capture, you should know what your fate will be if the Demon King finds out about your assassination attempt on Lin Xueyin."

"So what? I believe Elufina wouldn't do anything to me for the sake of a woman."

The high priest revealed another mocking smile. "Nothing will happen, Grand Marshal. Haven't you seen the fate of the barbarians? Don't you know what became of the barbarian king?"

Silence. All Ailisil could do was remain silent. He knew all too well that he had no way out. In truth, he never wanted a way out. What was rightfully his had been taken from him by that woman. How could he accept this?

He had given so much, only to find it couldn't compare to the other person's brief time together. How could he be willing to give up? He would never give up until the very end, even if it meant making a deal with the devil.
