The Hero Reborn as a Demon King Loli

Chloe thought for a moment and realized that apart from telling the familiar dark elf about Linfiel's location when she went back, she didn't seem to have anything else to do.

Chloe glanced at the sky and decided to go back.

Judging from the sky, it was almost dinnertime. She had fed Stella most of the food Lulum had packed for her at noon before leaving the house. Now that she thought about it, she really should find something to eat... Even if she didn't actually need to eat, she couldn't let the child go hungry.

Then Stella and Ilesia each grabbed one of her arms and carried her back.

That's right. Because Stella and Alesia are both slightly taller than Chloe, Chloe, standing between them, looks... like she's being escorted.

"Can you let me go? It's so hard for me to walk like this..." Chloe said with a dark expression.

……

Chloe returned to her lodgings and found Lulum still sleeping peacefully.

However, it seems that Lulum's complexion has improved a lot because she slept all afternoon.

It seems Lulum is really tired... Chloe thought to herself.

After confirming that Lulum was alright, she quietly left the room.

She planned to cook dinner herself so that Alessia and the others could taste her family's cooking skills.

After all, the food in the college cafeteria is not fit for human consumption... If she were eating alone, she could make do, but she's going to be raising a child starting today, so she can't make do.

Originally, Ilesia wanted her servants to prepare dinner, but Chloe thought that their vampires' staple food consisted of various kinds of blood... so it would be better for her to cook it herself.

Although her cooking skills could only be considered "ordinary" in the original world, they were at least 1000% better than the cafeteria in this academy.

Moreover, she doesn't lack ingredients now... Now Chloe finally understands the benefits of the Agricultural Research Department; she can take any duplicate vegetables from the experimental fields without worry... You know, the prices of agricultural products in the Demon Realm are...

Wait, I think I've discovered a way to make money!

While Chloe was cooking, she suddenly had an inhuman thought.

Anyway, she's not human... oops, I mean, since she can take any vegetables she wants, can't she just sell them?

And letting leftover vegetables rot in the field is also a waste...

……

When Chloe was cooking, she kicked Alesia and Stella out of the kitchen... After all, they couldn't help her in the kitchen and would only cause her trouble.

The reason Alesia was kicked out of the kitchen was that she kept trying to add blood to the dishes... Can you eat dishes with blood added?

And Alesia was trying to heal Chloe...

So you want me to bleed the blood while I'm cooking? How about I make you a "Mao Xue Wang" (a spicy Sichuan dish)?

What nonsense.

This is what Chloe was thinking when she chased Alesia away.

Stella was kicked out... well, actually Chloe asked her to leave the kitchen and wait for dinner in the living room.

Stella is a good girl, and she was actually able to help Chloe at first.

As for why Chloe asked him to leave?

The reason was that Stella actually tried to start a fire using a fireball spell... If Chloe hadn't reacted in time, the kitchen might have been blown up by Stella.

After being kicked out of the kitchen, Ilesia said that Chloe's menu didn't have meat, so she had to go back and ask her servant to get some meat.

Although Stella was asked to leave the kitchen by Chloe, she looked at Chloe with a wronged expression at the kitchen door for a while. Seeing that Chloe was busy, she obediently ran to the sofa in the living room and sat down.

But after sitting for a while, Stella, for some reason, went into Chloe's room again.

She looked at Lulum lying on Chloe's bed, and as if possessed, walked over to Lulum's side and reached out to ruffle Lulum's long pink hair.

……

"Mother……"

In her sleep, Lulu dreamt that her mother was stroking her fur.

This was what her mother liked to do most when she was little.

Her mother was already a demon king before she was born.

As the Demon King standing at the pinnacle of the world, Stella is always the majestic Demon King, no matter where she is or what she is doing. Only in front of her will she shed her thick disguise and act as a gentle, silly mother, indulging her to the fullest.

It can be said that Lulum's gentle and doting personality towards Chloe was largely influenced by her mother.

But her mother, as she grew up, also gradually changed... I don't know when it started... perhaps it was when so-called "heroes" began to appear among the human race? Her mother began to slowly change.

Perhaps in the eyes of other demons or humans, the Demon King is still so majestic, and his methods of handling affairs are still so swift and decisive, but only Lulu knows that her mother has gradually lost her gentleness... and has become a tyrant who will stop at nothing to develop the demon realm.

The idea of ​​coexisting with humanity was something her mother taught her from a young age...

This is also why Lulum and her mother have disagreements.

Lulum dreamt of her gentle mother, a memory she hadn't had in a long time, and tears welled up in her eyes even in her sleep.

These tears contained complex emotions such as remembrance, sorrow, pain, and confusion, and seemed to have affected Stella, who couldn't help but sigh.

Stella then looked confused, as if she didn't quite understand what she was doing.

Then, seeing Lulum crying, she stopped rubbing Lulum's hair and hurriedly left the room.

After Stella left the room, Lulum slowly woke up, wiped away the tears from the corner of her eyes, and murmured, "It seems like I had a good dream... Why did I fall asleep? And where am I? Sniff... It smells like Chloe... Ah, right, this is Chloe's room."

Then, Lulum remembered what had happened before, so she immediately got out of bed and carefully explored her surroundings with magic.

"Was that... a dream? There's no trace of Stella's mother around here... Have I been affected by the abyss?"

Lulum recalled her absurd conversation with Chloe and Stella, and since she couldn't sense any trace of Stella at all, she initially thought she was hallucinating...

After Stella hurriedly left the room, she immediately ran to the kitchen doorway, looking like a child who had made a mistake and was about to admit it. With a bewildered expression, she said to Chloe:

"Dad... I think I made Grandma cry..."

"???"

Chloe, who was chopping cabbage, almost cut her hand.

Chapter 107 Resurrection Spell

"We heard that the church's saintess has made a deal with you?"

In a basement on the border of the human race, a dozen or so black-robed figures of varying shapes gathered in what resembled a conference hall.

Upon closer inspection, the figures of these black-robed men appeared somewhat elusive and did not resemble real people.

Indeed, the dozen or so people in black robes present, except for one red-haired woman, were all projections from different places.

These men in black robes are all leaders of the Abyss Order in different regions, or you could say they are mid- to high-level cadres. They are simply holding a routine meeting.

Although it was called a routine meeting, these men in black robes only attended when they felt like it, and at least a dozen seats in the meeting hall were empty.

It's quite unusual that more than a dozen people could attend today's meeting.

The special reason, of course, was the question asked by one of the men in black robes earlier. Almost all of these dozen or so men in black robes attended the meeting to find out the answer to this question.

The question was naturally directed at the red-haired woman who had made a deal with the church's saintess.

However, the red-haired woman adopted an indifferent attitude towards the question, saying to the figure who couldn't wait to ask her:

"Yes, I made a deal with the Saintess... Thank me, Rudite! If it weren't for my deal with the Saintess, making her turn a blind eye to things in the church, you might already be..."

The red-haired woman addressed the black-robed man who had asked her the question, simultaneously clutching her own throat and sticking out her long tongue in a mocking manner.

"Do you think I wanted this? I've worked my way up in the church for so long to get this position. Did you think it was easy for me? What could I do? You have no idea what kind of monster came looking for me!"

The "Rudite" who was mocked by the red-haired woman was a fat figure. From their conversation, it can be seen that this Rudite must have a high status in the church.

"But that's your oversight! Someone actually traveled all the way to my place to report you to the Holy Maiden...tsk tsk tsk."

The red-haired woman maintained her mocking tone, seemingly determined to break Rudite's defenses with her taunts.

"How was I supposed to know I had such useless subordinates? How could I let that trash..."

"Look, everyone! He's panicking... He's starting to shift the blame! It's hilarious!"

The red-haired woman didn't bother listening to Rudite's nonsense and continued to mock him.

And they even managed to amuse several of the black-robed men who were there to have some fun...

"Xiao Yanyan! You've gone too far! I've tolerated you for too long! If you have the guts, come to the imperial capital and face me..."

Rudite, who had been mocked by the others, finally broke down. He stomped his feet in anger and pointed at the red-haired woman named Xiao Yan Yan, yelling at her.

At the same time, the sound of a table being smashed could be heard from his projection.

Seeing that Rudite had successfully broken through her defenses, Xiao Yan Yan was about to press her advantage when she was interrupted by a black-robed figure beside her.

The black-robed figure spoke to Xiao Yanyan in a clear and gentle female voice:

"Alright, alright, Sister Xiao Yan Yan, we all know you and Bishop Rudite don't get along, but you can talk about personal grudges later... We've brought so many brothers here, all of us want to know the details of your deal with the Saintess..."

"Alright, since you've put it that way, Elsa, I'll ignore that fat pig for now. As for the details of the deal..."

"Who are you calling a fat pig?! I'll *&#@..."

"We're getting down to business now, Bishop Rudite, can you please shut up? Oh, and by the way, if you say another word, I might just go to the Imperial capital within the next couple of days and cut your tongue out!"

Just as Xiao Yan Yan was about to reveal the contents of her deal with the saintess, Rudite, realizing that Xiao Yan Yan was insulting him, was about to interrupt and retort when Elsa immediately spoke slowly in a kind tone.

Rudite immediately shut his mouth, and Xiao Yan Yan couldn't help but shudder at Elsa's tone.

Then, Xiao Yanyan didn't dare to waste any more words and said, "In short, I used runes to research a rune spell that can resurrect the dead, and I asked someone to tell the Holy Maiden about it. So the Holy Maiden came to ask me to resurrect someone. That's the content of the deal."

Although Xiao Yanyan spoke in a nonchalant tone, the information contained within her words shocked the group of black-robed men around her.

You know, spells that can resurrect people only exist in legends! I never expected that Xiao Yanyan would actually be able to successfully replicate it using runes.

As for their doubts about the veracity of Xiao Yanyan's words? You're kidding! Even the most loyal saint in the church made a deal with her; it's no exaggeration to say they probably don't believe it.

However, those present were all regional leaders of the cult. Although they were shocked, they did not show much emotion, and none of them were emotionally agitated.

They started asking Xiao Yan Yan questions one by one.

"Resurrection spell? How is it different from necromancy?"

What are the restrictions?

Can it be used on a large scale?

Seeing that her "compatriots" were somewhat interested in the spell she had developed, Xiao Yanyan, who had been indifferent, explained it to each of them.

Firstly, the biggest difference between her resurrection spell and necromancy is that it won't turn the resurrected person into an undead, and it can also recall the target's soul instead of turning them into a soulless walking corpse. In other words, it can completely resurrect a person.

Then there's the limitation: her resurrection spell requires a relatively intact corpse of the deceased to complete the resurrection; otherwise, it simply cannot be activated.

Finally, there's the issue of large-scale use... which is impossible because this spell has a limitation: the incantation requires draining all the energy from a general-level expert or general-level equipment to activate, and the higher the level of the resurrected object, the higher the energy consumption.

If you want to resurrect a Saint-level target... you'd probably have to drain an entire artifact dry.

How many truly divine artifacts are there in this world?

After learning that Xiao Yan Yan's resurrection spell had so many limitations, the shocked black-robed people almost all became as indifferent as Xiao Yan Yan herself.

There's no other reason than that this resurrection spell was far too useless for them, or rather, for the Abyss Order.

This resurrection can only revive people up to the King level at most, and it also requires sacrificing a Saint-level expert or Saint-level equipment... It's really not worth the loss.

Besides, which of you here isn't a half-step Saint level expert?

As for resurrecting those below the King level? Please, those trash below the King level are mass-produced...

In short, this resurrection spell held no appeal whatsoever for the members of their order.

"So who is the saintess trying to resurrect?" Finally, someone asked the crucial question.

The one who asked this crucial question was Elsa, who was sitting next to Xiao Yan Yan.

However, when she asked the question, her gaze didn't seem to be on Xiao Yan Yan...

Others also expressed their concern about this crucial question, and they all chimed in with their own questions.

"The people the Holy Maiden wants to resurrect? Then think about it, who has died in the past few years that has saddened the Holy Maiden the most?"

"Could it be..."

"That's right, it's the brave warrior Li Wen!"

Everyone nodded in agreement with this answer.
