This family hasn't lived here for a long time.

I used magic to secretly tidy up the house, at least to the point where I could sleep.

When Ai'er turned her head, Lily had already curled up in the corner and fallen asleep.

I asked Lily to find a place to rest for a while because I had to clean up, but she just sat on the floor and leaned against the wall and fell asleep. What happened? At least she should have found a bed...

As she picked up Lily, Ai'er shook her head and sighed.

I didn't find a chance to apologize today...

If I don't apologize, Lily might forget about it...

Ai'er carried Lily to the bed. The warmth in her arms made Ai'er feel reluctant to leave, but finally she put Lily down reluctantly.

Finally covering herself with the quilt, Ai'er squatted beside Lily and stared at her peaceful sleeping face in a daze.

By the time Ai'er's attention was drawn to the noise of Coco and Anling outside the door, a long time had passed without him noticing.

……

Lily, who was asleep, naturally knew nothing.

Lily waited until late at night and rubbed her eyes while mumbling.

When he opened his eyes again, Ai'er and Coco were breathing steadily.

When Elle is asleep, he will be considerate of Lily's feelings and keep a little distance between them when sleeping.

But Coco was different. She would hug Lily's arms tightly without any scruples. As a result, Coco hugged one side, and Ai'er had no arms to hug.

In fact, Lily would often wake up, but the time of waking up was somewhat random, and she really couldn't stay awake for long.

Lily can fall asleep at any time now.

Lily recalled that she had woken up intermittently before, and had looked into the eyes of Ai'er several times. Ai'er always had an expression as if hesitant to say something.

Lily wanted to hold on for a while and wait for Ai'er to finish talking... But after Ai'er coaxed Coco and An Ling around her and sent them away, Lily fell asleep again.

Lily could sense the growing distress in Elle's expression as the days passed.

Lily now had unexpectedly a lot of energy, but it was time for Elle to sleep again.

After all, Ai'er was the only one who hadn't slept in the past few days, and she had to be on guard against the angels' patrols at night. Her magic power was almost exhausted.

The two people's time overlapped but did not intersect.

Lily sat up, being careful not to let the chains on her feet make too much noise, and pulled her arms out of Coco's arms.

Coco, who was sleeping, wanted to be hugged but failed, so she curled up on her own.

In the other corner of the room was An Ling, who was stretching out and snoring.

The little feet stepped on the cold ground.

Lily took a brief tour of the house and finally climbed the stairs to the roof.

The big, bright moon in the night sky is carved in the gaps in the clouds, and the light after the rain appears unusually clear.

Today is a day without a mini-moon.

Lily sat down against the sloping roof and stared at the moon.

He was conscious for a rare moment... maybe he had slept enough before.

Lily looked at her broken arm and twisted the joint slightly.

"It seems to have grown back a little..."

The magic power absorbed from Ai'er before also had the same effect.

Lily leaned against the roof and raised her other hand. A small black cross was hanging from a red thread in her hand.

When you look at it in the moonlight, it only shows dark marks.

The longer I stared, the more eerie the surroundings became.

The surrounding scenery was covered with a light mist.

Only the moon in the night sky appears clear.

Lily moved the cross away from her eyes.

The illusory figure of the girl gradually became real under the moonlight.

The figure in the white dress floated in the air.

Meeting Lily's eyes, the girl smiled sweetly and waved hello.

"I'm coming."

175. Devil's Remains

The girl leaned forward slightly as if she were in water.

The white skirt only reaches the knees, revealing the slightly bent white calves in the air.

There was a gentle smile on his face - but if you looked closely, it seemed as if you were in a dream and it was unclear, leaving only a conceptual impression.

Even the long hair was covered with an unreal halo, and its original color could not be seen.

But she was indeed a pretty enough girl.

Lily sat forward slightly, raised her head, and stared at the girl with her lavender eyes for a while.

The girl floated over to Lily quite naturally and sat on the roof next to Lily in a pretentious manner.

"What are you watching so late at night?"

"Look at the moon." Lily replied.

"As expected." The girl smiled gently, "But there is only one moon tonight. It will be less fun."

Lily tilted her head and didn't answer.

In fact, Lily didn't know this girl - Lily was sure that she didn't know her.

For Lily, this was the first time the two met.

But the girl seemed to have an inexplicable sense of familiarity with Lily.

"How are you?" The girl stood up and floated in front of Lily.

"It's a bit uncomfortable." Lily said honestly.

"After all, you're the only one willing to fight so hard... Although it's someone else's request, refusing is also an option." The girl said: "I can't use much strength now... Appearing in front of you without being discovered is already the best I can do. So I can't help you for the time being, sorry."

There was a hint of guilt in the girl's tone.

Lily didn't ask any further questions.

She just raised her little hand and the dark cross slipped away from Lily's hand.

Half floating in the air, it slowly drifted towards the girl opposite Lily.

The girl took it with two fingers and looked at it for a long time.

"This must be the Demon King." The girl asked, "Does it have a name?"

"The King in the Box. That's what it calls itself," said Lily.

“So that’s it…” The girl continued to examine the cross, as if she were admiring some rare treasure: “So you used this method to visualize its concept… That’s why you were able to grasp it.”

Lily didn't explain. After all, this girl could tell a lot from her own experience.

"...So this is what it is like in your heart." As she looked at it, the girl suddenly laughed happily: "Should I say it's worthy of you... or should I say it's better to be you. Lord Demon King, you are too shameless..."

Lily didn't understand what the girl found funny, so she naturally couldn't reply.

Holding the cross in her hand, the girl turned her head and looked at Lily's arm that was cut off by the Demon King: "Concept, some of it still remains in you."

"There's no solution for now." Lily shook her head.

The girl's imaginary little hand touched the chain on Lily's foot, pretending to caress it:

"After all, in that state, he used two levels of divine magic."

Lily had no choice at the time.

"Demons have no power attributes, they are just pure conceptual paradoxes or contradictory descriptions." The girl said:

"They cannot be killed or destroyed unless they are wrapped or replaced by a higher-level concept, thus falsifying their original existence. Demons are the very existence of the world."

The Demon Kings are the superiors who stand above all paradoxes.

This [King in the Box] is one of them.

The devil could not be destroyed - even if Lily locked up this part of the Demon King, it did not mean that it could not appear again.

It has always existed in and outside the world.

"Maybe we'll meet again somewhere else in the future. As for what you said, I'll give it two good punches then."

The girl held the cross in her palm: "Then... I will accept this sample of the Demon King."

When the hand opened, the cross had disappeared.

"I'll leave first." The girl suddenly seemed to remember something and said:

"By the way, please help take care of An Ling. She is also an important heir of mine."

Lily was about to nod, but then she realized she was a little dissatisfied.

Why do you always ask me to help you with things?

Seeing Lily pouting in anger, the girl seemed a little helpless.

But she just leaned over and said with a smile:

"What does it matter... Anyway, I already owe you enough."

The girl's imaginary lips lightly touched Lily's forehead.

Before Lily could react, the smiling girl retreated as if fleeing, and her figure quickly disappeared.
