As he spoke, he pointed a finger at an open space opposite him, and an energy ball shot out from his hand, striking the ground with a loud "boom." A crater large enough for a person to lie in appeared there. Lu Yi then walked to Wales, placed him in the crater, and pushed him with both hands, burying him amidst the churning of surrounding soil. Louise and the others simply watched silently, without saying a word.
After finishing all this, Lu Yi walked to the lakeside, turned around and smiled at Louise and the others, saying, "I'll leave Henrietta to you for now. I'll be back in a bit." With that, he plunged into the lake, creating a splash before disappearing from everyone's sight.
"Huh??? He's gone already?" Chuluk looked at Anliaita in his arms and then at the spot where Lu Yi had disappeared, and said helplessly.
"As long as Her Highness is alright, let's wait here." Louise said.
"Yes." Everyone nodded in agreement.
. . . .
Regardless of everyone's feelings at this moment, Lu Yi swam swiftly towards the bottom of the lake like a fish without any hindrance. Before long, a light source appeared in front of Lu Yi. As he descended deeper, the light source became closer and closer. Finally, the true form of the light source appeared in Lu Yi's eyes: a huge palace made entirely of crystal.
"That's it." Lu Yi thought to himself as he saw the palace.
When Lu Yi arrived there, he saw that the place was already full of people. Leading the group was a stunningly beautiful woman with long golden hair. Behind her stood two rows of women who looked like guards.
"Greetings, Demon Lord." As Lu Yi landed, the leading woman bowed to him.
"Greetings, Demon Lord." The guards behind the woman also knelt on one knee and said in unison.
"Demon Lord??? It seems I've been misunderstood. But that's fine, saves me from wasting my breath." Lu Yi thought to himself, but said aloud, "Water Spirit, you are a king of your race, there's no need for you to be so respectful to me."
"I wonder what brings the Demon Realm's master here?" The water spirit didn't answer Lu Yi's question, but instead asked.
"I want to confirm one thing. When I arrived here, I felt something calling to me. I think it must be the people from the demon realm who were sealed here by the gods. Can you take me there?"
"Well... alright, your feud with the gods has nothing to do with us. Come with me." With that, he led the way into the palace. Lu Yi followed closely behind.
When Lu Yi entered the palace, he realized just how luxurious it was. To call it luxurious would be an understatement; it was simply extravagant. Lu Yi thought to himself, "It's just too extravagant."
The water spirit led Lu Yi through the palace to a dark vortex, where it stopped and said, "This is it. I'll be leaving now." With that, the water spirit bowed to Lu Yi and then withdrew.
"That's right, this dark power is exactly the same as the power within my body right now." Lu Yi thought to himself as he felt the familiar power emanating from within. "However, the power surrounding me is not so comfortable. It should be the power of the gods of this world. Well... it's not very strong. But it will take some effort to overcome my current power."
"But... hehe..." Lu Yi said with an evil smile.
Meanwhile, in the heavens, a god was on top of a goddess, creating a human being. At this crucial moment, he suddenly sneezed loudly, spraying the goddess's face.
"Damn it, don't think I won't kick you just because you're a god. I've had enough of you!" The goddess, sprayed with spittle, jumped up and kicked the god in the face, cursing angrily. After kicking him, she snorted coldly, put on her clothes, and walked out.
"No...that's not how it is, God..." God said, on the verge of tears. But then, as if remembering something, he stopped and muttered to himself, "Wait, aren't I God?"
"Ah... Oh demon, save me! I really didn't mean to. Waaah..."
"Is that you, Your Majesty?" Lu Yi broke open the seal and stepped inside, and that's when the voice came from inside. Then he saw three men, three women, and a huge Western dragon flying in the air.
"Wang???" Lu Yi asked, looking at them in confusion.
"Your Majesty, don't you remember us? We are your personal guards. Could it be that old bastard God's doing again? If I ever get out of here, I'll definitely cut off that old bastard God's head and use it as a football!" one of the tall, burly men said angrily.
"Wait... let's get this straight first, I'm really annoyed right now." Lu Yi glared at him and said coldly.
"Uh... okay, okay." The man swallowed hard, startled by Lu Yi's glare.
"Tell me first why you call me King," Lu Yi said.
"You are the master of the Demon Realm..." the man said to Lu Yi.
. . . .
"Why aren't you out yet?" Chuluk called out impatiently.
“They’ve arrived,” Tabasa said. As soon as he finished speaking, the water in the lake churned, and a figure emerged from the water and walked step by step onto the shore.
"Alright, I've finished my business. Let's go back. And Tifa, come with me." Lu Yi walked to Chuluk's side and picked up Henrietta.
“Yes.” Tifania nodded firmly.
"You should all head back quickly too." Lu Yi turned to Louise and the others and said, then summoned the Nine-Tailed Fox and rushed towards the palace.

Chapter Ten: The Coronation Ceremony
After returning to the palace, Lu Yi settled Tifania in, then carried Henrietta to her bedroom, gently placed her on the bed, covered her with a blanket, and looked at the still uneasy furrowed brow of the sleeping Henrietta. He sighed softly, reached out and gently wiped away her worries. As if sensing Lu Yi's care, Henrietta's furrowed brow slowly relaxed, her body completely relaxed, and she fell asleep peacefully.
Seeing Anliaita's state, Lu Yi felt relieved. He stood up, walked to the window, looked at the two moons, one large and one small, in the sky, and fell into deep thought.
Why do you call me King?
"Because you are the master of the demon realm, and we are your personal guard. The giant dragon above is your mount—the Dark Demon Dragon."
"Then what makes you think I am the ruler of the Demon Realm? I don't think it's because of our resemblance, is it...?"
"That's right, it's that dark energy within you, the purest energy that only the master of the Demon Realm can possess."
"Just as I thought," Lu Yi thought to himself, resting his chin on his hand.
"Then why were you sealed here?"
"This...this...it's truly a lifelong disgrace. Here's what happened...that's how it is." The man said helplessly.
"Uh... is that all?" Lu Yi looked at them speechlessly.
"Yes." The others nodded with helpless expressions.
"Alright, let's not talk about that anymore. Tell me about the current situation in the Demon Realm!"
"Okay. Although we are sealed here, we can still connect to the Demon Realm through a secret technique to know the current situation."
. . . .
"Okay, I understand. I'll be going now." Lu Yi nodded after hearing what he had to say.
"Huh??? King, didn't you come to save us?"
"It's not the right time yet. When the time comes, I will release you naturally. Don't worry."
"Alright, I've already waited for ten thousand years, so what's a little more time?"
Lu Yi nodded and broke the seal, then walked out.
"The Lord of the Demon Realm? What a troublesome identity," Lu Yi thought to himself.
Lu Yi spent the night lost in his own thoughts.
The next morning, Lu Yi entered Henrietta's bedroom and drew back the curtains. Warm sunlight shone on Henrietta's beautiful face as she slept.
"Your Highness, it's time to get up. Breakfast is ready," Lu Yi said with a smile as he approached Anliaita's bedside.
"Se... Bass." Henrietta looked at Lu Yi's gentle smile, tears welling up in her eyes, and suddenly threw herself into Lu Yi's arms, crying.
"Sigh... Women really are made of water. She just cried yesterday, and now she's crying again." Lu Yi thought helplessly, stroking Anliaita's soft hair in his arms.
"Don't cry, Your Highness, let's go eat," Lu Yi said softly.
“Okay.” Anliaita looked up at Lu Yi and nodded.
"However, this is for the best, since we've put it aside for now," Lu Yi thought to himself.
After breakfast, Lu Yi followed Henrietta into the palace hall. Today was the day Henrietta was crowned Queen of Tristine.
“Then, let me explain the coronation procedure to you.” At this moment, an old man walked up to Henrietta and said.
“Lord Mazarin, I do not wish to be crowned,” Henrietta said, looking at Mazarin and stating her intention.
“Your Highness, come here.” At this moment, Lu Yi took Henrietta’s hand and walked to the window, pointing to the people below and saying, “Look at the reaction of the people below. They all hope that you can lead them and protect Tristine.”
"Long live Her Majesty Henrietta."
"Your Majesty."
"Long live Tristine!"
. . . .
Henrietta silently observed the reactions of the people below, without saying a word.
"Become Queen, Henrietta. This is the wish of all the people of Tristain. Be crowned," Lu Yi said, looking at Henrietta.
Henrietta turned back to the throne, looked at the hopeful eyes of everyone below, and finally agreed.
The coronation ceremony was not very complicated. Before long, the coronation ceremony was almost completed, with only the last item remaining—the parade.
On the streets of Triestin, Henrietta sat in a carriage, waving to the people on both sides of the street. Lu Yi rode alongside her on horseback, followed closely by a large guard to protect Her Majesty the Queen.
"Look, look, it's Princess Cai Ren! How dignified Princess Cai Ren is!" At this moment, Lu Yi heard such a voice. Lu Yi just smiled and pretended not to hear it. This was a crucial moment for the parade, and there could be no mistakes.
But....
A loud "boom" came from the crowd. Lu Yi knew without a doubt that the dog had been abused by Louise, that tigress, again. Lu Yi sighed and thought to himself, "That damned dog, I need to find some time to teach it a good lesson."
"An assassin!" Upon hearing the loud noise, the captain of the guard rushed to Henrietta's carriage, drew his sword, and said, "Protect Your Majesty."
"Captain, it looks like that guy did it." At this moment, the vice-captain came to the captain and pointed to Saito, who was lying on the ground and had been tortured beyond recognition.
"Grab that person," the captain said, pointing at Cai Ren.
"Yes." The captain had barely finished speaking when several guards surrounded Saito and Louise, dragging Saito away. After this incident, the parade had to end abruptly.
Not long after Lu Yi and Anliaita returned to the palace, someone came to report that Osman, the dean of the Tristine Magic Academy, was requesting an audience.
"Please come in," Henrietta said to the person who came to report.
"Yes." He said and walked out.
"Greetings, Your Majesty." Soon, Dean Osman entered the hall and knelt on one knee before Henrietta.
“Dean Osman, is there anything I can do for you?” Henrietta asked Osman.
“This…” Osman looked at Lu Yi next to Henrietta and said with difficulty.
"Your Majesty, I'll be leaving now." Seeing Osman's appearance, Lu Yi knew he couldn't stay here, so he said to Henrietta.
"Alright." Seeing Lu Yi's resolute expression, Anliaita had no choice but to nod.
. . . .
"What...what are you doing?" Lu Yi asked as he walked out of the main hall and saw Louise confronting the captain of the guard.
“Sebastian, I want to see Her Highness the Princess,” Louise said as she saw Lu Yi come out.
“No, His Majesty is talking to Dean Osman. Didn’t you see that even I was kicked out?” Lu Yi shook his head and said.
“But, Saito…” Louise said anxiously.
