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

Volume 10: The Reviving Demon God: Chapter 9: The Rat (Part 1)

Kono, the woman Lin Xueyin rescued on her travels, was also brought into the Demon King's Castle, but not as her friend, but as an ordinary maid.

"Sister Kono, are you still busy?" Looking at Kono, who was cleaning Lin Xueyin's room, it was originally Ariel and her sister's job, but now it had become Kono's job, which made the two of them feel a little uncomfortable.

"You two are so young, just enjoy yourselves." She gently patted the two little girls' heads. She knew their situation; a plague had taken away their families, and they were eventually taken back by Lin Xueyin, who happened to be passing by.

After that, they continued to take care of Lin Xueyin's daily life. Although she didn't want it to be this way, they felt that they could only repay Lin Xueyin's care by doing what they could.

"But we want to..."

"Her Highness the Princess also hopes so. You just need to live your lives well. We can take care of many things."

Two sensible little girls, no matter where they are, will be loved by people. Looking at them, Cono felt as if he saw his own little sister. She was the same age when she was born, but she was cruelly murdered by those people.

I long to see my sister again, to run freely with her on that grassland, but that has become a distant dream, a dream that can never be realized.

"Sister Cono, what's wrong?"

Strangely, the usually busy Connor suddenly seemed a little distracted. Ariel gently waved her little hand in front of her eyes to bring her back to her senses.

"Is my sister thinking about things from the past?"

"Hmm, I've remembered a lot. You guys should rest first. I've finished cleaning here, and I should go outside to see if there's any other work to do."

In truth, Cono knew that because she was a maid brought by the princess, she wasn't given much work; she was mainly helping others take care of Lin Xueyin's daily needs. However...

"Isn't this the princess's maid? Looking for work again? Why aren't you resting?"

Because she was a maid brought by the queen, although they disliked that the people above had arranged easy work for her, they still gave this human girl the respect she deserved.

“If there’s any work you haven’t done, I can help you with it. The Princess’s room has been cleaned. With Ariel and the others here, I don’t have much to do here.”

"You're always helping us with the work. If the princess finds out, who knows what she'll say about us. You should go and rest."

After finishing her work, she would voluntarily help others with their work, making them feel less comfortable ostracizing the young girl. However, since she was brought by the princess, they couldn't go too far sometimes.

Therefore, people usually don't ask Cono for help with too many things, unless someone has too much work to handle and then they want her help.

“I don’t have anything to do here either. I see that Sister Shilin has a lot of work to do. The Demon King’s study must be very busy. Why don’t I go and help? That way it will be easier for us.”

The demon girl named Shilin was very slender and didn't seem particularly capable at all. However, cleaning the Demon King's study was no easy task. In particular, cleaning the entire study every morning before the Demon King entered was a job that sounded easy but was actually quite difficult.

"I'll leave my work for now. The Demon King doesn't like people entering her study without permission."

Shilin refused without even thinking, which made Keno scratch his head and laugh awkwardly.

"Alright, Cono means well, but you really can't just go in there. Why don't you help me? Today we need to take His Majesty the Demon King and the Queen's blankets out to air them."

"Aren't Your Majesty and the Princess living together now? I've already aired out all the blankets."

Amused, the tall maid explained to the oblivious young girl, "The Queen and His Majesty each have their own bedrooms. What you are cleaning now is just the place where they live together, not their original bedroom."

Hmm, it's a bit of a mouthful, a bit messy. And what I've been cleaning all this time isn't even the Demon King and Queen's bedroom. No wonder. Conno shook his head with a wry smile.

"Let's go. I'll take you to the Queen's bedroom first, and then we'll take out the sheets and blankets to air them out. However, judging from His Majesty's current actions, that bedroom probably won't be used for a long time."

He wished he could keep the princess from getting off his bed every day, and even wanted her to go back to her own bedroom. Even the Demon King himself probably wouldn't believe it if he said that.

"Then why do we still need to air out the blankets?"

“My silly girl, even though we say we won’t stay there, who knows if we might suddenly feel like staying for a day? We just need to be prepared for them to come every day. As for whether they will actually come, that’s not something we should worry about.”

"Okay, I understand. Let's go there now. There's still a lot of work to do."

As they spoke, they led Cono toward the door, chatting and laughing as they walked away. The other maids, seeing that the two had left, also chatted and laughed as they prepared to go to work.

At this moment, Lin Xueyin was sitting on Elufina's lap, enjoying the food she was being fed. She was given a piece of cut pastry and then a delicate teacup, which she was fed mouth-to-mouth.

"Nana, don't do this, hey, don't do this, it's not good if someone sees us."

Her small hands pushed against Elufina's plump and soft breasts, her pretty face flushed, making her incredibly cute. This made the Demon Lord unable to resist taking a bite, just like biting into a small apple.

"Um, Nana, it's not good if others see this. Don't touch things like that."

Her dress was gently pushed up, revealing her fair legs. Elufina gently caressed her silky smooth skin, causing the girl in her arms to let out a shy moan.

"Little girl, no one will come in. I've already told them to wait outside. There are guards at the door, and no one will be allowed in."

"So what exactly do you want to do? Wasn't last night enough?"

"Of course it's not enough. How could I ever have enough for you?" He gently stroked Lin Xueyin's pretty face with his fingertips, causing her to tremble involuntarily in his arms.

Elufina gently placed her mouth near the girl's ear and slowly uttered a sentence, causing the girl's eyes to widen suddenly.

"As expected, it seems they really thought I was too stupid and so easily fooled."

Volume 10: The Reviving Demon God - Chapter 10: The Rat (Part 2)

Unable to bear it any longer, Lin Xueyin, after enduring Elufina's harassment, finally couldn't stand her shamelessness any longer. After a series of negotiations, she finally jumped off Elufina's lap in anger. Wearing only white socks, she stood barefoot on the ground, glaring angrily at the woman.

"We agreed last night that I could do whatever I wanted, but today you want me to rest. Don't you have any idea where your hands were just now?"

With her hands on her hips and a coquettish expression, the girl's annoyed look tempted Elufina, but knowing that her body was still somewhat weak, she didn't continue.

The main reason is that I don't want her to be too tired. Last night, she was already hoarse from shouting all night.

"Sometimes my hands are not under my control; they move on their own, and I can't stop them."

"I swear..." Lin Xueyin choked on a mouthful of blood, mentally cursing a thousand curses, but hearing the words of this demon king, she could only angrily utter one sentence.

"Is what you're saying even human? What do you mean you can't control your hands? If you can't control them, why don't you just chop them off?"

"Actually, Yukine, I am the Demon King, a demon, so of course what I say can't be considered human language. Do you need to emphasize that again?"

Lin Xueyin was speechless at these words. Did the words of a demon mean they were no longer human? Lin Xueyin really wanted to crack open the demon king's skull and see what was inside.

"Little girl, are you thinking about something bad, or are you thinking about serving me in bed right now?"

"I, I didn't mean it. You go... get back to work." Originally, she wanted to say "go die," but seeing the desire filling Elufina's purple eyes, Lin Xueyin instantly succumbed to her survival instinct and quickly changed her words.

"I go first."

She rushed out the door, as if some ferocious beast was driving her to flee in panic.

As Elufina watched the girl's flustered figure disappear, a doting smile crept onto her lips. The vanishing figure brought Elufina back to her own affairs; she would have a long time to complete her work.

The maids she encountered on the way all bowed politely to Lin Xueyin. Although she was a little unaccustomed to it, Lin Xueyin nodded and returned the greetings before hurrying towards her bedroom.

Holding a longsword, as Lin Xueyin's guardian knight, she also had the right to carry weapons within the Demon King's Castle. Aliya walked slowly towards the garden alone. Previously, someone had said that some strange things had been discovered there, so Aliya wanted to take advantage of Lin Xueyin's absence to investigate.

After all, the people she needs to protect live here, and she can't allow any dangerous elements to appear around her.

"Aria, what brings you here today?"

Before she even reached the garden, she heard someone calling her name from behind. Orichils's handsome face, unique to elves, came into Aria's view.

"Oh, it's you. I heard there were some strange noises coming from here a few days ago, so I came to check it out."

“In that case, we really are on the same page. I also heard that mysterious shadows have been appearing here recently, so I came to take a look. Perfect, we can go and investigate together.”

The two, who had agreed to meet, soon arrived at the garden. The garden was peaceful, just like before, still full of flowers, with a hundred flowers blooming in competition, surrounded by trees and lush grass. Although it hadn't rained recently, someone would water it every day.

The ground was still a bit damp, probably from being recently sprayed, the vibrant green and bright colors intertwining to create a beautiful and captivating scene.

"Every time I come here, I feel that the Demon King put a lot of effort into building this garden especially for Yukine. Flowers from all over the world are planted here. I guess no one else can do it."

Looking at the scenery before him, Orichils couldn't help but marvel at Lin Xueyin's good fortune in having someone who doted on her so much. However, thinking of her screams every night, he also felt that sometimes this doting affection seemed to be a burden.

"Yes, as expected of the Demon King, he can actually use magic to create such a large garden, allowing flowers from different regions to grow safely here. One cannot help but admire His Majesty the Demon King."

Orichalcos and Aria chatted as they walked among the trees and flowers, not on the path, because they were looking for clues and were observing every plant and tree around them very carefully.

She proceeded cautiously, afraid of missing any small clue. "Aria, do you think the Demon King will continue to spoil Yukine like this? The better she treats Yukine now, the more uneasy I feel."

"This is beyond our control. Let's solve the current problem first." Aria didn't think too much about this kind of thing.

Whether the Demon King favors Lin Xueyin or not is not that important to her. She only hopes that Xueyin can be safe and happy. If Lin Xueyin is unhappy, she will naturally find a way to take her away from here.

Back when she and Yukine were in Yorktown, her sword was almost stained with her blood. This was a pain she could never let go of for the rest of her life. As a knight, she had taken her anger out on the person she should have been grateful to at that time.

In the end, she was forgiven by her, which made Aria feel a deep sense of guilt towards Lin Xueyin. Especially later, when she became her guardian knight, she was still protected under Lin Xueyin's wings, which made her feel even more indebted to Lin Xueyin.

"Orihirs, have you found anything over there?" As an elf, Orihirs naturally possessed the ability to communicate with trees.

Orichils, who was communicating with a willow tree, was interrupted by Aria's words, but judging from her expression, she probably didn't gain anything.

"No, these tree spirits didn't notice anything unusual. Maybe those people just misheard."

Olihirs was somewhat confused. The rumors she had heard earlier had not been confirmed. After careful questioning, the answers given by the tree spirits were all the same, with nothing to refer to.

"Did I hear wrong? But those people described it so vividly, as if they saw it with their own eyes. It's just a rumor?" Hearing Orichalcos's words, Aria was also a little confused and didn't know what to do now.

"Hey, what are you two doing here? Why did you run into the bushes instead of taking the main road? Are you playing outdoor games?"

Lin Xueyin, who had escaped, breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Elufina hadn't followed her out. Thinking she would get some rest, she went to the garden to take a walk and enjoy the scenery.

There were no cell phones or computers in the bedroom, and just sleeping would be too boring, so I had to find something to do. As a result, I saw two women, who smelled of lilies, kissing and cuddling in the bushes.

"Xueyin, what brings you here?"

Arya saw Lin Xueyin looking at her and Orichalcos in an ambiguous way. Although she didn't quite understand the look, she still happily crawled out of the bushes.

"I'm really sorry to have bothered you."

"Hey? What's there to disturb? We're just happy to see you here."

Lin Xueyin scoffed at Arya's statement. She had just witnessed it with her own eyes: Arya's mouth was almost touching Olihirs's pointy ears. She said, "You think I didn't disturb you? Ha, I'd be a fool to believe you."

Lin Xueyin glanced at her friend, who was beaming with happiness, her eyes practically screaming "trying to cover up the truth." She'd forgotten the saying, "Those with a yaoi perspective see everything as gay."

Orichils looked up in confusion. Her eyes had been glazed over from communicating with the tree spirit, and the strain on her body had left the elven girl with a flushed face.

Her body trembled slightly as she took a step forward, but her legs felt weak. Finally, seeing that something was wrong with her, Ailiya had no choice but to temporarily set aside Lin Xueyin and quickly hug her.

How are you?

"I was feeling a bit exhausted just now, is that Yukine?"

For some reason, watching the two women interacting, Lin Xueyin felt that her existence seemed somewhat superfluous. A woman in knight armor was tightly embracing a beautiful elf with a flushed face and a soft body, and the two were whispering to each other. What was one to think about this?

Lin Xueyin declared that it wasn't just that she was watching lesbians, but that they *were* lesbians. This scene, exuding the rich fragrance of lilies, aroused Lin Xueyin's desire... no, it should be described as her blood boiling.
