Chapter 1489 - 429: It Must Have Been the Flame King!
The Great Graveyard, Land of Nightmare.
Yousi and Mi Xi flapped their wings, flying from the entrance of the cave, their pale and slender toes landing on the perch padded with fleece.
The current Land of Nightmare is no longer the old one; due to an abundance of wealth, their respected Queen Qianqian waved her hand and provided each Little Demon with a perch padded with fleece.
This is the dream of every Little Demon in the Land of Nightmare.
No longer do they have to fight over the relatively less painful pebble when meeting Queen Qianqian.
Due to the excessive popularity of Land of Nightmare's red wine, even with such extravagance, Land of Nightmare's joss paper is still continuously increasing.
Can't even spend it all!
Mi Xi: "Your Highness! The new batch of food has already been delivered!"
Yousi: "It's infuriating! That wicked woman from Desperate City actually wants to compete for our King's favor! Her envoy also brought a batch of food over!"
Mi Xi: "So infuriating! We had a bright idea and put in the cross made by Lord Demon King into it! When Lord Demon King sees those amulets, he'll definitely mistake them as our offerings!"
Yousi: "Exactly! Ha ha ha, these fools are really dumb, now all their offerings belong to our King!"
The two Little Demons laughed gleefully, their faces showing the mischievous grin of a successful prank.
Listening to the babbling of the little ones, Qianqian lazily yawned on the throne, speaking in a bored tone.
"Are you all fools? Does that person need to open each sack to figure out where the offerings come from?"
The acolytes of the Teleportation Array will faithfully record the destination of each batch of goods, and carefully check the offerings in each sack.
Are these self-righteous fellows a bit too naive?
"Oh!? Oh no, that was careless!"
Yousi was struck dumb by the realization, with his jaw dropped in shock. Meanwhile, Mi Xi took the chance to unload the blame, swiftly joining Queen Qianqian in chastising the former.
"It's Yousi! Are you an idiot? How could you do something so reckless? What if they thought it was our King's idea?"
"Sorry! Wait, no, wasn't this something we did together? I think it was your idea!"
"Shut up! Admit your mistake!"
"Do you want to fight!!"
The two Little Demons wrestled each other, their clothes nearly torn off, with other Little Demons watching eagerly, sometimes cheering for the left, sometimes for the right.
Qianqian leaned on the throne, lightly furrowed her brows, took a sip of the bright red wine, her skeptical gaze dancing between the two Little Demons.
She felt as if these two dimwits might have offended her earlier, though they probably didn't mean to, just a lack of intelligence.
Thinking for a while, Qianqian found it too troublesome, deciding not to fuss with them. Placing the wine glass on the armrest of the throne, she cleared her throat and spoke.
"Don't do such unnecessary things in the future. That old woman is not worth mentioning. I disdain using such means to achieve victory."
As she spoke, her crimson lips curled into an enchanting smile, exuding an aura of royalty unmatched by her delicate doll-sized figure.
Like a true Queen.
"I disdain using such means to achieve victory, lest she loses and accuses me of being too cunning."
Though such praise is valuable to a Demon, she prefers Lord Demon King to appreciate her elegance, grace, beauty, generosity, composure, loyalty, and many more memorable virtues.
Regardless of whether the elegance, grace, beauty, and composure captured Lord Demon's heart, the Little Demons were dazzled, their eyes sparkling.
The confident King is truly dazzling!
Though Little Demons often showcase their prank skills, they don't use this to select their King.
It's like humans using horse-riding and fighting skills to elevate knights but not using these skills to select their King.
"No wonder you're the King!"
"King! When do you plan to win over Lord Demon King!"
"Right, palace! The King's palace needs some decoration! It doesn't have the standing perch of Lord Demon King!"
"Fools! Lord Demon King would never need such things!"
"Exactly! Thunder City's humans are now popular for using mattresses stuffed with springs as dowry! I saw it from the window!"
"I even saw them fighting on the mattress!"
"Oh oh oh! Quickly prepare!"
"He he he... I suddenly thought, if Queen Qianqian managed to get Lord Demon King, wouldn't it mean we can benefit too?"
"Ah! Are you saying we share spiritual power?!"
As soon as this was mentioned, the Little Demons got excited, yet their "elegant, graceful, beautiful, generous, composed" King instantly turned red-hot.
"Get out——!"
The wine glass hurtled like thunder, shattering against the rocky wall, breaking into pieces.
The Little Demons shrieked, scattering in all directions, hiding in the coral reef-like caves, poking their heads out as they watched with fear and curiosity.
Standing on the throne, Qianqian seethed with fury, her chest heaving violently, her face so red it seemed it might drip blood.
These guys...
Simply getting bolder and presumptuous!
...
The morning mist had not yet cleared, but already there were hundreds of cooking fires rising on the plains outside Sparrow Wood Castle.
