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

She wiped the blood from her lips, but her sleeves were also covered in black and red stains, filling the girl's heart with sorrow.

"I understand. Then I'll tell you that you've been chosen by His Majesty the Demon God. Congratulations! You will be favored by the Demon God, and your life may be even better than it is now. Aren't you excited?"

"Demon God? Could it be that the Demon God you speak of has been resurrected?" She stared in shock at Claires, who seemed to have victory firmly in her grasp. A sudden, ominous premonition gripped her.

"Of course, the Demon God is about to reign supreme over this world again. The only thing missing is the stone sculpture that the Grand Elder has already taken away."

The sharp and arrogant laughter made Lin Xueyin breathe a sigh of relief. A mocking expression flashed across her face, but she sensed the sudden presence outside.

"Of course, what did you think? Now, you just need to obediently follow us. Oh no, you don't need to be obedient anymore. Instead, we'll take you to the high priest to become a sacrifice for the demon god."

"Perhaps your Demon Lord cannot afford this sacrifice." A cold and murderous voice came from outside the door, making the guards surrounding Lin Xueyin feel the impending danger of death.

"Demon, Your Majesty the Demon King."

"Nana, you're here." After coughing a few more times, Lin Xueyin sat slumped against the wall with a bitter smile, with Konno, who had been stabbed through the heart by Claires while protecting her, still on her body.

Surrounded by the guards of her own Demon King's castle, she leaned softly against the wall, her face stained crimson with blood, and the bluish-purple scars on some of her exposed skin indicated that the girl had been poisoned.

"Yukine, you..."

"Your Majesty, I think it would be best if you didn't move around. What if my sword accidentally scratches the Princess's face? Such a beautiful face, we'd never see it again."

"You... Claires, why did you do this? Haven't I treated you well enough?"

"The treatment isn't good enough, of course it isn't enough. Do you know how much I like you? Do you know how important you are to me? But why are your eyes only on this hateful woman? Why? Is there something about me that I don't have as good as her?"

Staring dumbfounded at the somewhat crazed Claires, Lin Xueyin never expected that she would have a female rival in love. Of course, that's not the point. The point is that this female rival is also a yandere.

So, what should a yuri (lesbian) do when she encounters a yandere (obsessive and possessive) female rival? I need help urgently, very urgently, extremely urgently!

“Say it, say it in front of your queen, that the person you love is me, say it.”

"Claires, don't lie to yourself. From beginning to end, from heart to mind, I only love Lin Xueyin. No matter if she is a man or a woman, smart or stupid, I only love her. So, you should give up."

So, Nana, do you want her to stab me once, or twice? Looking at Claires, whose face was now completely black and whose head was bowed, she seemed to be accumulating anger.

"Your Majesty, are you really unwilling to tell me?"

"What good would it do you to lie to me?" Elufina shrugged nonchalantly, smiling as she looked at Lin Xueyin, who was lying on the ground, looking completely bewildered. Although she felt a pang of heartache, she still didn't want to hear her say anything that would betray her.

"Yukine, don't worry, I will definitely rescue you."

Lin Xueyin fell silent. She felt that entrusting her life to this demon king was the biggest mistake she could have made, especially with the trembling sword tip pointing at her. He was probably about to explode with rage.

"Since you won't even lie to me, then I'll make you regret it for the rest of your life. You like her so much, then I'll make you watch her head get chopped off with your own eyes."

A cold glint flashed, but it made no further advance. A slender hand appeared beside Lin Xueyin, tightly gripping the blade that was about to kill her with a single strike.

"You want to commit violence against my woman right in front of me, the Demon King? Do you really think I'm just a decoration?"

"Elufina. You idiot, who told you to grab the sword with your hand? Do I need you to save me? Seriously, let go of me right now, let me see if your hand is hurt."

Although she was somewhat annoyed, Lin Xueyin's heart ached when she saw Elufina wielding a sword with only one hand to save her.

"Let go now, and let me see your injury."

Amidst the horrified gazes of the crowd, Lin Xueyin leaped to her feet, grabbed Elufina's hands with both of hers, forcefully pried open her palms, and breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing her still fair and smooth hands.

"Xue, Xueyin, you, you're not poisoned?"

"You? You weren't poisoned?"

Although both of them spoke with surprise, their words evoked completely different feelings in the ears.

"I'm poisoned! Ah... I can't take it anymore, I'm vomiting blood."

"Shut up!" Claires was about to attack in anger, but was stopped by Elufina again.

Having blocked the opponent's next attack, Elufina scooped Lin Xueyin up in her arms and, in a flash, returned to the gate. Her cold gaze swept over the trembling guards and Claires, who still recklessly tried to attack Lin Xueyin.

"Xueyin, are you alright?"

"Ugh... I'm poisoned, I'm in so much pain, I feel so awful."

A dark line appeared on Claires's face. She felt utterly and unequivocally insulted by this woman. "You're not poisoned, but why, why are you acting like this?"

"Huh? What's wrong with my behavior? I never said I was poisoned from the beginning, isn't that what you all thought? Ugh, why did you hit me, Nana?"

Covering her round buttocks, which had been lightly slapped by Elufina, Lin Xueyin, feeling a little hot-faced, buried her face in Elufina's chest and rubbed it vigorously twice.

She was just a little embarrassed, not because she wanted to wipe the blood off her face, well, she wasn't taking the opportunity to wipe the blood off.

Meanwhile, Claires, who had been choked by Lin Xueyin's words, felt as if her heart was filled with gunpowder ready to explode, wishing she could beat this woman to death.

"You... when I kicked you just now, why didn't you say you weren't poisoned?"

"Huh? If I didn't do this, would you have told me your plans? Would I have known so much? That's why villains die from talking too much, isn't it?"

With an expression that said, "I am completely innocent," Elufina stroked her long golden hair affectionately. However, the icy coldness in her eyes did not diminish at all; on the contrary, it grew stronger.

What did this Claires just say? She kicked him. Even when he was tying her up and playing with her, he couldn't bring himself to hit her hard. How dare she kick him?

Especially when she saw Lin Xueyin secretly trying to cover herself with her clothes when she heard Lin Xueyin say she had been kicked, Elufina felt her anger rising.

"Nana, are you angry?"

"I'll deal with you when we get back." He glared at Lin Xueyin fiercely, and his heart skipped a beat as he looked at her slightly bruised waist.

"You all deserve to die."

If they mess with her little girl, then there can only be one fate for these people—death.

"Killing us would have been worth it. We gave the Demon King's favorite concubine a good beating. Don't you think it was worth it? If she hadn't been poisoned, I really would have wanted these men to have a good taste of the Queen's flavor, um..."

Staring in shock at her own mouth, which seemed to want to speak but couldn't, completely bewildered by what had happened to her, not only Claires but everyone else was also baffled by this woman who stopped speaking halfway through her sentence.

Only Lin Xueyin's cold gaze flashed by, a Shadow Priest's exclusive skill—Silence.

Volume 10: The Reviving Demon God: Chapter 15 - I'll Trick You Once (Two chapters released together)

She wasn't poisoned. That's right, she wasn't poisoned at all. She saw such a violent situation as soon as she entered the room. She's not a fool; how could she not have any protection? She has the ability to form a shield around her body.

The venomous snake bites through the clothes, but is stopped by the protective shield on the surface of the skin. This gives people the illusion of a successful surprise attack, while also preventing Lin Xueyin from being truly harmed.

"Lin—Xue—Yin—"

"How dare you! How dare you address my queen by her first name?" Elufina's eyes widened in fury as she glared at Claires, who was also filled with rage.

"Princess? Hmph, when I considered her a princess, she was a person. When I no longer considered her a princess, what was she? Your Majesty, why is a mere human so infatuated with you? We demons are the strongest race."

After a moment of silence, Elufina finally spoke, "I'm looking for women, not rivals. Does strength really matter that much? For that, you're willing to betray the demon race and associate with those traitors?"

It would be a lie to say that Elufina wasn't heartbroken. In one day, she encountered two betrayals: one from a long-time friend, comrade-in-arms, and even family member, and the other from a guard who had always protected her and stood by her side. Both were people she had placed her complete trust in, yet they ended up giving her a resounding slap in the face.

"Nana, you don't need to be angry, I'm fine."

"You still have to tell me what you promised me back then, that there would be no danger, that there would be no problems. But where did you get these injuries? Don't think I can't see them; you have some abrasions on your legs."

"I... I didn't temporarily remove the shield in the background to make people believe it. It wasn't intentional. Please stop scolding me like this. I'm innocent."

"Still claiming your innocence? I'll tie you up and throw you on the bed today. You'd better pray for yourself."

Lin Xueyin pouted in frustration. "You're the one who's trying to find an excuse to play other games, and you're making it sound so high-sounding. Do you really think I don't know?"

But she could only think these words in her heart. With so many people here, Lin Xueyin could only keep her dissatisfaction to herself. In front of outsiders, she naturally had to maintain the Demon King's dignity. At this moment, she was like a well-behaved little woman, nestled in Elufina's arms.

Of course, he didn't hold back with his little gestures; he playfully punched her chest with his fist, as if to vent his shyness.

However, this small action ignited the anger in Claires' heart. Her longsword, carrying surging sword energy, charged towards the girl in the Demon King's arms. That happy, coquettish expression was so irritating to her.

"You'd better die..."

With a wave of her hand, the sword broke, and the woman vanished. Lin Xueyin watched helplessly as the woman who had thrust her sword at her was slapped out of the room by Elufena without any mercy. She was unable to remain calm.

"Nana, aren't you being a little... "

"What? Since she dared to lay a hand on you, don't blame me for being impolite."

"No, Nana, you killed her! Who told you their plan? I didn't reveal everything beforehand. Can we not be so hasty? Hey, why are you hitting me?"

Rubbing her slightly sore buttocks again, Lin Xueyin was a little confused. Had this demon king become addicted to hitting her? Why did he hit her so often, and always on the fleshy parts?

"Hmph, serves you right for talking nonsense."

"Cough cough, Demon King, I risked my life for you, yet I am not even worth a fraction of this woman's life?"

Blood slid down that handsome face, drop by drop, gathering into a bloody line that fell to the ground. He staggered to his feet, his eyes filled with madness.

Turning over, Lin Xueyin got out of Elufina's arms. Looking at the former guard commander, who was already quite injured, Lin Xueyin turned her head and glared fiercely at the culprit who had caused all of this.

A little innocently touching the tip of her nose, Elufina was puzzled as to why Lin Xueyin was glaring at her like that. Was it because she had softened her heart again? She opened her mouth, but saw Lin Xueyin slowly walk past the other guards and come to stand in front of Claires.

"You like Nana, don't you? Judging from your expression, it's probably true."

Lin Xueyin shrugged indifferently, gave the demon king who was trying to approach a warning look, and curled a mocking smile at the corner of her lips.

"I really don't know what it is about this woman that you all like so much. It's one thing for a man, but then there's you, a woman who doesn't even know how to be gentle. What are you here for? To be a decoration in the house?"

"You, His Majesty the Demon King, are not someone you can insult."

"Ha, that's hilarious. You treat her like a treasure, but what does she treat you like? Don't you have any idea? Really, even if I threw her away, would you get her back? It's funny. What I don't want will never be yours, yet you're still here feeling good about yourself, thinking you're the only one who's right. Don't you think that's ridiculous?"

A critical hit, this is the biggest critical hit. Even Elphielna herself felt that she had been brutally hit. What do you mean by "I don't want you"? Even if you don't want me, I will still keep you by my side. As a demon lord, she still has this much self-awareness. After all, she is a demon lord, so isn't everything she does reasonable?

"I...I'm going to kill...uh..."

"Kill me? I don't want to kill you, but your actions have forced me to. Cono died protecting me. You thought I was saving you by not letting Nana do it, but I just wanted to kill you with my own hands."

Blood dripped from the transparent staff onto the ground, and his cold eyes showed no regard for life, revealing absolutely no compassion that a holy priest should possess.

"Oh, right, I also have to thank your poison. Although it didn't all enter my body, the dark energy it contained allowed me to finally obtain what I had always dreamed of."

"What...what are you talking about?"

"You don't need to know what I say. All you need to know is that you should go."

A wicked smile was subtly revealed by Lin Xueyin, only to vanish in an instant.

"Don't think you can win. Soon, the Demon God will reappear and reign supreme over this continent. I don't believe you'll still be able to live so carefree with His Majesty the Demon King then. Having been personally chosen by the Demon God, even death will be a luxury for you then. I will watch you suffer in this world from hell."

"Do you really think the Grand Elder will get that stone carving? You're underestimating him. There's a saying, 'You've got yourself caught in your own trap,' and you'll probably never understand it until you die."

She whispered something in her ear, and Claires stared in shock at the girl before her, whose smile was now so sinister, completely devoid of her former innocence. What exactly had she helped this woman unlock?

Unfortunately, no matter how many doubts or confusions she had, she would never have the chance to find the answers. Her strength kept draining away, her body gradually lost its power, and her vision was gradually replaced by darkness. Finally, she quietly closed her eyes.
