Even the Demon King is worrying about another world today.

Mikayi looked at him with interest, resting his elbows on the armrests and propping his temples up: "Give me a reason."

“Reason…” Neil Hawke quickly organized his thoughts.

This is a do-or-die situation; we have no choice but to go for it!

After a long pause, three words came to mind in Neil Hawke's dark brain.

"because of love."

Mikayi was taken aback, then smiled and asked him, "That's it?"

The dull-witted black dragon head nodded vigorously, as if pounding garlic.

“No.” Mikayi answered decisively.

"!!!" Rejected by the Demon King, Neil Hawke opened his mouth wide and was stunned.

"My Lord Demon King!! The royal family, the royal emperor has many concubines besides the empress!! This is necessary to continue the bloodline!! And, and I really like those two sisters!!"

"Two sisters?" Sethim turned her eight long, hairy legs and asked him, "You mean two sisters?"

Chapter 121 Neil Hawke's Request [Bonus Chapter]

"Ah," Neil Hawke slapped his forehead, as if realizing something, "Speaking of which, I should call you mother-in-law..."

"Ughhh! Don't poke my tail!!"

Sethim's eight spears were very powerful, and with one thrust, even the thickest scales of the black dragon were pierced.

“I’ll probably turn you into a sieve if I don’t!” Sethim grumbled. “How old are Tia and Tina? They’re not even a hundred years old yet, which is only about thirteen or fourteen years old in human years! Neil Hawke!”

Tia and Tina were the very demonic insect maids that the Demon King had bestowed upon Nielhawk. As for what happened to the three of them after they were given to Nielhawk, that was beyond Mikayi's prediction.

"Don't do this, Mother-in-law! My feelings for Tia and Tina are genuine!!" Even though he was being stung, Neil Hawk didn't dare to resist, and his tail remained obediently in place.

His loud shout was so loud it shook the heavens and earth. Mikayi looked at the kitten at his feet.

Kuro seemed to be disturbed by the noise as well. Her ears twitched, and her body instinctively reached out a paw to press down on her ear.

Mikayi saw this and then turned to look at Neil Hawke.

Shut up.

The black dragon's mouth suddenly stopped opening; its upper and lower teeth seemed to be zipped up, tightly shut together.

"..."

Neil Hawke, who had just been having a heated discussion with Sethim, was now covered in cold sweat.

This was the first time he had tasted the Demon King's true words. Of course, this wouldn't be the last.

Sethim retracted his eight spears and bowed obediently to the Demon King.

She's so old, yet she's arguing with the newcomer.

Neil Hawke looked pitifully at the Demon King, his eyes brimming with tears.

If he could, he really wanted to transform into human form and cling to the Demon King's leg, begging and crying.

However, according to the rules, the apostles must use their true forms when meeting in the Demon King's Palace—except, of course, for the colossal beast 'Qiani'. The entire Demon King's Palace probably couldn't contain Qiani's true form.

So it should be said that it's not that Neil Hawke has a loud voice, but rather that his large size makes his voice louder.

Neil Hawke was trying to wink.

With a little more effort, that black dragon's tear will fall.

Mikayi was speechless as she was stared at by those three big, teary eyes.

"Tia and Tina were originally given to you as maids, so I have no objection if you want to marry them."

It's good to occasionally check on your subordinates' personal lives. Besides, Neil Hawke has recently been working on things for Hell...

They made many contributions.

According to Chani's report, Neil Hawke brought some suitable seeds and has already sown them in the seventh level of Hell. These next few days will be the harvest season.

"Using demons to estimate human ages isn't very reliable. Since she's already a hundred years old, she's not exactly young anymore," the Demon King said. "I still need to confirm whether those two demonic insect maids were there voluntarily."

Neil Hawke could not speak, he could only nod repeatedly.

He then rummaged under his scales, as if searching for something.

Ugh... This idiot, how did he even think of hiding things inside the scales? Didn't I give you a ring with storage space?

Mikayi thought to himself in silence.

The black dragon's thick scales were pried up and then stuck back on. After several repetitions, Neil Hawke finally found something.

He carefully held the two pieces of carapace in his hands, lowered his wrist, and offered them to the Demon King.

Neil Hawke seemed to want to say something, but Mikayi moved his fingers and dispelled the Demon King's Mantra.

“These are the shells that Tia and Tina shed,” Neil Hawke said in his softest voice. “They said they were giving them to me… as a token of their love.”

As Neil Hawke said this, his dark face flushed slightly. He scratched his head a little embarrassedly.

Mikayi could easily believe what he said. The black dragon had neither the guts nor the power to deceive him.

Sethim craned her neck, trying to see what Neil Hawke was holding. But Neil Hawke was too tall for her to see clearly.

Seeing this, Neil Hawke quickly handed it to his 'mother-in-law' for a look.

Sethim glanced at her, his astonished expression momentarily pausing: "Every transformation is important for the girls... Now that they've shed their adolescent shells, they're mature girls now..."

Sethim stared at the black dragon for a moment: "Neil Hawke, you...did it?"

The other seven apostles standing in the row all turned their heads in unison. Everyone was utterly shocked, including the Demon King.

Those!! Those are demonic insects, aren't they?! Neil Hawke...?!

Mikayi couldn't help but admire this black dragon.

Neil Hawke nodded sheepishly, which was taken as an admission.

Sethim turned around and faced the Demon King again:

“Your Majesty, I can confirm that Tia and Tina did it willingly. If they hadn’t wanted to, Neil Hawk couldn’t have done it…after all, the constitution of the demonic insects is quite special,” Sethim explained. “To open the inner nest, it must be voluntary. And I also taught them that they can only do those things to those they love.”

……

The entire room was silent; no one spoke.

After Mikayi had finished digesting that massive amount of information, he moved his mouth slightly.

If you disagree... that would be breaking up a loving couple, since they're already in love.

And... things have really gotten this far?!

The apostles all turned their attention to the Demon King. It was time for him to make a statement. If the Demon King refused again, Neil Hawke's hopes for a wonderful life would be completely dashed.

"I implore the Demon King to grant my request." A deep female voice echoed throughout the quiet hall.

"Sestim?" The black dragon, who had closed his eyes in fear of being rejected, opened his lantern-sized dragon eyes. "You..."

Neil Hawke sniffed, tears welling up in his eyes as he looked at his mother-in-law beside him.

Sethim lowered her head, her eight-spear-like legs preventing her from kneeling like the other apostles. She pressed her chest as low as she could and pleaded with the demon lord, "As a mother... I also wish for my daughter to be with the one she loves."

Mikayi saw it all.

He wasn't agonizing over whether or not to grant the request; instead, he focused his attention elsewhere.

And the demonic insects... the demonic insects and the black dragon... what a strange combination!

As their demon king, Mikayi would naturally be a competent boss.

The dark elements obeyed his command and gradually gathered together. The dense dark elements were like a layer of mist, the light mist forming a thin veil.

Renee looked up and saw the soft, light gauze, and was somewhat moved.

That was a veil, a blessing bestowed upon Neil Hawk by the Demon King for his wedding.

------

Little Sharp Blade: Look, this stupid dragon already has three wives. When are you going to speed things up?

Mikayi: (╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻You're asking me?!

Chapter 122: The Demon King doesn't need rest, right? [Bonus Chapter]

"Thank you, Demon Lord!" The veil that had been floating by landed on Neil Hawke's hand, and Neil Hawke suppressed his excitement.

"As an emperor, I don't need to bestow a marriage upon you. Consider this a wedding gift for you."

Neil Hawke nodded repeatedly; he couldn't possibly come up with any flattering words. He slammed his forehead on the ground in gratitude to the Demon King.

"Let's get back to business." The Demon King glanced at him and changed his sitting posture.

I originally came to Hell to discuss something, but I ended up spending a lot of time dealing with Neil Hawke's personal matter.

That big black dragon is such a troublemaker.

"Regarding the last time, when we summoned the Grand Marshal of Hell."

Upon hearing that name, the apostles looked up at the demon king.

Only Neil Hawke looked completely bewildered: "Grand Master of Hell? What's that?"

Mikayi briefly summarized the reason.

Actually, nothing happened when the Grand Master of Hell was summoned; bringing it up to explain was simply a matter of being responsible to the apostles.

Reni and the other girl already knew what had happened, but after hearing what the Demon King said, Reni seemed to remember something.

“My Lord Demon Lord…” Reni, still wearing the academy’s uniform, lifted her skirt and took a small step forward. “Neil Hawke’s soul is still intact…”

When the Demon King is away, the administrator of the ninth level takes over the management of Hell. Most of the apostles of Hell are impetuous and violent, and to keep these guys in check, it's not enough to just have an identity; you also have to keep their souls in check.

Rene's reminder prompted Mikayi to look at the bewildered black dragon.

Whether or not the soul is extracted is irrelevant. The reason for taking half of the apostles' souls before was solely to prevent them from betraying him. But Neil Hawke's soul was resurrected by his own hands, and it bears the mark of a demon, so there's no question of betrayal on his part.

However, it would seem unfair not to draw it out.

Nine pairs of eyes were all looking at Neil Hawke, who felt extremely uncomfortable under the gaze of these big shots.

"W-what are you going to do..." Neil Hawke trembled, clutching the veil that the Demon Lord had given to his wife. "No, don't come any closer... I'm going to scream!"
