Eunice's only remaining human friend is Dong Muge, so she decides to follow in his footsteps and join Ella's small cult. That very night, the two of them, one human and one bird, became new residents of Ella's private mansion in the West District.

……

After a day and a night of fierce fighting, everyone was exhausted, both physically and mentally.

However, Isaac and Holman still had to brace themselves and coordinate the reconstruction of the city after the war.

At this moment, available human resources are particularly scarce. The number of craftsmen has been preserved thanks to the great migration promoted by Ella, but the court mage corps suffered heavy losses in the defensive battle, and what urgently needs to be repaired is a large area of ​​the city that has been ravaged by war.

The southern district, in particular, suffered severe damage from the direct impact. The raging horde of zombies and the skeletal giants within them were not as restrained as the rebels, leaving behind only devastation and ruins in their wake.

Fortunately, the war eventually came to an end.

The imperial city, which had been shrouded in gloom for days, was finally bathed in the warm light of the rising sun at dawn on the second day.

……

Three days later, time flew by.

The sky was clear and clean, with white clouds drifting lazily by.

In a room at the Seven Stars Guild headquarters, Ye Xiao, who was holding a reed and Greta's cat paw fencing sword, received an invitation from the Imperial Palace.

"Hmph, you're even invited to your concubine's coronation ceremony. How impressive! The future king personally invited you."

Greta jumped into Ye Xiao's arms, and after reading the letter delivered by the messenger with Ye Xiao, she said in her childish voice.

"Oh, Lord Hell, who is in charge of slaughter, is joking." Ye Xiao grinned.

"You're so annoying! Why do you keep bringing up that spell!" The kitten punched Ye Xiao's chest twice. "If it weren't set up with some grandeur, who would know it's a forbidden technique at the Saint level!"

"I have to say, I was really startled when it was released." Ye Xiao rubbed the cat's head. "Cerberus's true form is so imposing."

"Of course, how could the guards for my house be anything less than excellent?" Greta crossed her arms and snorted. "That stupid dog really did manage to save face for me for once."

"But is it true that you 'control the killing'? Your reputation in Hell is so formidable," Ye Xiao asked curiously.

The names that are chosen for divine spells cannot be chosen arbitrarily; there are specific rules for these things, and not just any unrelated deity can be assigned such titles.

"What, are you scared?" The kitten raised its head.

"It's not that serious. When have I ever been afraid?" Ye Xiao said, continuing to gently rub the kitten's head.

“Yeah, anyway, you’re not even afraid of a terrifying woman like Miss Ella.” The kitten nodded thoughtfully.

"What are you saying?" Ye Xiao was speechless. How could this even bring up Ella?

"It's okay, she can't hear anyway, just don't tell her." Greta covered her mouth with her paw and chuckled.

Ye Xiao shrugged.

"The reason why they are in charge of killing... is actually because in the past, during the New Age of Gods, after the God of Light knocked everyone down, they investigated and found that some of the remaining gods of the Old Age of Gods were doing particularly... terrible things, causing very serious damage to the order of the present world."

Greta tapped the air with her claws, and an ancient scroll slowly appeared in the air.

"Oh, isn't this your Death Note?" Ye Xiao looked at the book and suddenly remembered that he had seen the other party take it out in the underground sewers of the Samuel Hermitage base.

“What nonsense.” Greta turned the page. “So the God of Light then sent me to eliminate these gods. Pandia and Hecate were originally on the list, but Hecate shifted the blame to Pandia and survived.”

"That title probably came about around that time. However, I am originally a demon god of hell, so such an ominous-sounding title is actually quite positive in hell."

"Okay, you've finally stopped worrying about how to address me," Ye Xiao laughed. "You're much more open now, Demon God."

"Hmph, since you'll make fun of me anyway if I don't admit it, I might as well just be open about it."

"Great progress, Lord Demon God."

"Don't give me that!" Greta punched Ye Xiao again. "What I say is my business. You're only allowed to call me Greta or Lady Maid!"

"And what about Lord Cat?"

“I’ll accept it reluctantly.” Greta licked her paws. “Alas, I don’t know whether all the gods on the list should have been killed back then, or what the true purpose of the God of Light was in ordering me to kill these gods… I accepted this commission simply to atone for the destruction I caused as a member of the Chaos faction and to save my own life.”

"I can't comment on the past affairs between gods, after all, I'm just an ordinary person." Ye Xiao stroked the kitten's back. "But I'm very happy that you're willing to tell me your story."

Ye Xiao meant it sincerely, since Greta rarely talked to him about her past.

"Hmph, men, always talking big." The kitten pouted.

Greta was embarrassed to admit that the reason she was so eager to change her attitude towards Ye Xiao was mainly because she was a little anxious.

What's the rush...? Are you in such a hurry about your relationship with Ye Xiao?

Greta is now certain that she has fallen for Ye Xiao, but she doesn't know how to confirm her relationship with him in her little mind.

Although Ella had encouraged her, Greta always felt that it would be so embarrassing to just blurt out "Oh, I think I like you, human" and get rejected by him!

After being rejected, what mindset should one adopt to continue staying by the other person's side?

So Greta began to get anxious.

She enjoyed the feeling of being close to Ye Xiaoyi, but was also a little afraid that the change in their relationship after she told anyone would make her uncomfortable. But if she didn't tell anyone...

If we don't tell anyone soon, this guy will be getting married!

I won't even mention Ella Hayville, at least she arrived first, but what's with Skadi?!

Why should that woman marry Ye Xiao before he and Ye Xiao have even settled down?

But Greta was also a little envious, envious that Skadi dared to be so shameless and persistent, and in the end she actually managed to change Ye Xiao's stubborn mind.

"Hmph, I've finished talking about my business. So, what are you planning to do about your matter?" Greta then awkwardly tried to change the subject.

"Huh? What is it?" Ye Xiao looked at the cat in confusion.

"It's...it's the engagement with that king." Greta looked at Ye Xiao with her round head.

Chapter 214 The Cat's Confession

“Skadi… then of course we can’t let her down again.”

Ye Xiao shrugged helplessly, "It's come to this point, if I just leave now, I'll really become a scumbag."

"Aren't you a scumbag to begin with?"

"Hey, you can't just say things like that." Ye Xiao flicked the cat's head. "Who did I scumbag?"

"..." Greta gave her a "How dare you say that?" look. "So you really want to agree to the marriage?"

"Well, about the engagement... I think it's still too early..."

"Aren't you a scumbag?!"

"That's a miscarriage of justice." Ye Xiao punched the kitten with his fingers. "Everything has to be done step by step. At the very least, I need to tell you about your relationship with Ella. Now that everything is over, it wouldn't be good to keep it from her."

"Let's see what they decide later."

Greta nodded, then seemed to realize something, "Wait, my relationship? What relationship do we have to talk about?"

"Good question. So, little one, is there anything you want to tell me?" Ye Xiao raised an eyebrow.

“Huh? No.” Greta shook her head, then paused, seemingly thinking it over carefully before firmly stating, “...No!”

"Ok."

Ye Xiao shrugged, tapped the cat's憨厚 (honest and simple) head with his finger, then stood up and stretched. "I've rested enough these past few days, so I'll go visit Skadi and take care of some things... Want to come along?"

"Of course." Greta jumped onto Ye Xiao's shoulder. "Hey, you still haven't told that you're going to tell the First Princess what our relationship is!"

"You seem to care a lot." Ye Xiao grinned. "So, what do you think our relationship is?"

“Hmm… friend?” Greta tentatively asked.

"Okay, then I'll tell her you're my friend."

“…That won’t do!!” Greta exclaimed anxiously.

"Didn't you say that yourself?"

"Hmm... I'd say we're very good friends! Very good friends!"

"You're talking like a child," Ye Xiao couldn't help but laugh. "Then let's say we're sworn brothers who would go through fire and water together, and would even stab each other in the back."

"This sounds weird," the cat said, licking its paw in frustration. "Hey, I was the one asking you the question! How did I end up giving you the answer?"

"Are you sure you want me to answer?" Ye Xiao raised an eyebrow.

Upon hearing Ye Xiao's words, Greta's heart suddenly skipped a beat for no apparent reason.

She remained silent for a moment, her large, watery eyes on her honest-looking head scrutinizing Ye Xiao.

Then, as if having made up his mind, he opened his mouth wide and said:

"……want!"

"Then I'll tell you the truth, but don't regret it later," Ye Xiao said, picking up a water glass from the table and taking a sip.

"Mere human, what...what do I have to regret!"

Greta was a little nervous. Although she said this, she was afraid that Ye Xiao's answer was not what she wanted.

What if Ye Xiaozhen thinks they are just ordinary friends?

Or worse, are they just partners who each get what they want?

or……

Ahhh! ! !

What should we do? Should we just tell him to stop talking?

But... I am a mighty demon god! What can a mere human do with what he says?

but……

The kitten's mind was inexplicably in turmoil, and the sudden silence only made her more agitated. She punched Ye Xiao's cheek twice with her paws, yelling, "Just say it! Hurry up and say it!!"

"Hey! No, I just wanted to get a drink of water first... Hey!"

Greta's sudden attack forced Ye Xiao to put down his water glass and then lift the fussy little one from his shoulder to his chest.

Then he looked into Greta's wide, golden eyes, and a slight smile appeared on his lips:

"If you ask me, you're my girlfriend."

"Hmph, I knew you wanted to say... huh?"

The kitten suddenly froze, its eyes widening slightly.

Countless symbols of wisdom seemed to shine in his clear eyes.

Seeing the kitten suddenly freeze and stand there like a wooden statue, Ye Xiao poked its belly. "Hmm? Didn't you hear me?"

"Although it's a bit disrespectful to say this to a cat-like creature, I'm saying it sincerely and solemnly."

“My dearest Miss Greta, be my wife, my love for you is as boundless as the river…”

"Stop, stop, stop!!!" The stunned kitten immediately jumped up and stuffed its paw into Ye Xiao's mouth. "How could you!! How could you just say that!!?"

Ye Xiao moved her mouth away and spat out the cat hair inside. "What's wrong with that? We brave humans have always been straightforward in expressing our love."

"But...but!!!" Greta spun around in Ye Xiao's arms like a little top, unable to tell if she was excited and happy, nervous and at a loss, or all of the above. "Something's wrong!!!"

She was still pondering and struggling with how to slowly reveal the truth to Ye Xiao. Her little brain was filled with all sorts of complicated thoughts that were hard to unravel, like a thin veil. Every day she was thinking about how to gently lift it up without feeling embarrassed.

Unexpectedly, Ye Xiao was so straightforward and undisguised at this moment, like a clean and sharp spear that pierced through the thin veil.

"What's wrong with this?" Ye Xiao followed Greta's movements in circles with his finger like a cat toy. "But why are you so nervous? You beings from Hell can't be this innocent, can you?"

“Those…those rude guys have no idea what love is!” Greta yelled in rebuttal.

"As expected, the maid truly understands the ways of love." Ye Xiao nodded. "Then, maid, it's your turn to answer me: do you love me?"

"Eek!!! How can you ask such a blunt question!!!" The temperature around the kitten seemed to rise two degrees.

If cats weren't immune to blushing, Greta's face would probably be completely red by now.

"You...you still have that woman Ella! Asking me something like this, you shameless bastard!!!"

"Don't worry, I got Ella's permission." Ye Xiao gave a thumbs up. "I'm a good family man."

"How...how could you even discuss something like this?!" Greta screamed. "So lewd!!! You lewd couple!!!"

"What the hell? What are you thinking?" Ye Xiao's lips twitched. "Anyway, I'm just telling the truth. But if you don't think it's appropriate, it's okay to reject me."

"Ugh...you're so cheeky!" The kitten's paws clung to Ye Xiao's wrist. "I didn't even...I don't know what to do..."
