The Reborn Demon King Girl

Chapter 314 - 2 No Answer_2

"No need for so many explanations, I saw your actions back then. You don’t need to fear me. As long as Gela walks this world, you’ll forever remain just a mortal. You could kill me right now, which is actually what I want." Modoh exposed his neck. "If you kill me, I’ll owe you a favor and help perfect your species when I return again."

"...If I did that, I might not live to see your return."

"Oh? You’re smarter than before." Modoh laughed and said, "So, tell me, what do you want by appearing before me? You’re not planning to tell me you’re up to something, are you?"

"I only noticed your presence because I sensed the arrival of the Hero, and as your subordinate, I’m here to show my loyalty."

"Oh~ is that so?" Modoh smiled as he looked at her. "Then kneel down properly and lower your head."

Lisidorwei kneeled on the ground loyally, completely submissive, touching her head to the ground in a gesture of total surrender.

Then Modoh placed a foot on her head.

The force was incredibly weak, at least for the Vampire Queen of today, it was almost weightless—but this slight weight was precisely the kind she couldn’t bear, so much that Lisidorwei didn’t dare to raise her head even a bit, for fear that the owner of that foot would feel even the slightest leakage of strength.

"You’re quite clever now, Lisidorwei. Why weren’t you this smart when allying with the Hero? You should be licking the Hero’s heels now, I’m just a loser, an out-of-date old relic. You could kill me right now."

Lisidorwei showed no reaction.

"Boring."

Modoh lifted his foot and sighed, "There’s no fun in this. I wish you wouldn’t bother me; the Hero is already bothersome enough. Tell you what, if you can get the Hero to leave and abandon her plans, I’ll give you another chance to serve me. She’s too annoying."

"As you command."

Watching Lisidorwei disappear, Modoh couldn’t help but shake his head—the noble Vampire Queen, after all, learned humility under human tutelage.

Was I too good to her in the past?

In any case, she’s my creation.

He continued walking towards the city.

...

"So, why did you move in?"

Modoh froze when he saw Lisidorwei in his home, completely stunned.

"No need to worry, Lisidorwei bought the homes of the two neighbors around you. The idea is to expand your house, connect several rooms, and make it into one house," Gela explained to Modoh.

"?"

Lisidorwei hid behind the petite Gela, not daring to look at Modoh.

"You’re free to do so," Modoh suddenly said. "After all, you’re powerful, you deserve that freedom. The freedom to alter others’ wills at will; I’m glad to see you do this."

"..."

For a moment, Gela’s eyes became a bit bewildered.

"It’s normal for you to want Lisidorwei to stay, after all, she has helped you... But, I must emphasize again, I don’t have the answer you seek here, even if I did, I have no obligation to give it to you. You can try to make me submit by force."

"After all, you’ll just die and start over... Finding you again is not easy."

Modoh chuckled and said bluntly, "You won’t find me a second time."

The Heroine Ah Gela might indeed be powerful, but to Modoh, the Demon King, if he wanted to hide, not even the Hero could find him—it’s just that he hadn’t anticipated this scenario before.

"Oh, I thought you’d kill yourself on the way back. Looks like you didn’t do that."

Modoh shrugged, "With a Hero providing entertainment, what could be more perfect than this show? I think nothing. So, watch as long as you can~"

"I understand."

With Lisidorwei’s assistance, the remodeling of the house was completed in less than half an hour.

"Well, now we have several rooms, which one will you sleep in?"

Avowing to matter-of-factly events—Modoh never cared much about such things, few things in the world truly made him angry.

So he began to enjoy the status quo.

"I want to stay in the same room with you," Gela said bluntly to Modoh, staring at him.

"What do you mean?"

"I’m trying to get closer to you," Gela said quite frankly. "I thought about it, whether it’s money, wealth, power, or beauty, it means nothing to a Demon King. But you are not a stingy being; even in human history, the Demon King’s rewards were terrifyingly generous... If I can please you, would you give me the answer?"

Modoh squinted, "That’s an interesting notion, indeed. I’ve never been stingy with rewards to those who please me. However, Hero, do you know how to please me?"

Gela shook her head, "I don’t know. That’s why I want to get close to you, to understand you. To get closer."

Her gaze was particularly serious, like the one she had when staring at his neck—it was undoubtedly genuine.

Modoh knew this woman’s teacher was Ah Xion, an old woman who drank Elf Dewdrops... that woman must be abnormal; otherwise, her disciple wouldn’t be this abnormal—

Even if Modoh hadn’t been a human for long, he knew humans didn’t talk like that.

But this person was right in front of him.

"Lisidorwei, prepare yourself. I’m too lazy to talk to this person."

Lisidorwei nodded and used magic to make her own bed and such.

Gela stood near Modoh the whole time, maintaining a distance of a step and a half; one step forward would let her catch him, one step back would maintain the distance, an incredibly ambiguous distance.

No matter what Modoh did, she always kept to this distance with him, moving with extraordinary nimbleness. Even if Modoh turned quickly, she would appear behind him, at the same distance.

This was too abnormal, she should see a doctor—as if her brain were damaged or waterlogged.

Modoh had just returned from the city with goods, according to his agreement with Jillian, he was off work tonight—so he sat on his roof.

Gela remained by his side.

"Do you know what I’m doing?"

"Stargazing."

"I’m doing astrology."

"Oh."

Modoh was somewhat speechless, "My astrology is unmatched in the world. If astrology can’t give you an answer, you should give up and live your own life."

"..."

Gela said nothing.

Starlight shone on Modoh, and he couldn’t help but complain, "Ah, using high-level astrology without any power recovered, I might live ten years less for this, though it has no real effect... Ah!"

Starlight flowed, shining on Modoh’s Star Disc.

Then, starlight continually dissipated.

Modoh looked somewhat pale, and helplessly glanced at Gela, "You see, the starlight can’t provide you an answer, meaning you should give up."

"...Then, where should I go? Where is my place?" Gela suddenly questioned.

"How would I know? Isn’t the Wise King proposing to you?"

"That’s not my place. By the way, if I don’t leave, can you make me leave?"

"...I’ve long wanted to do that."
