“Do you know why I have to choose a new Holy Maiden?”
The Demon Emperor's pale, slender hand supported his chin, and he tilted his head with a half-smile, watching her with an enigmatic allure.
"Why?"
Yu Yao looked at the demon king in confusion and asked.
The Demon King slightly tilted his lips, laughing twice, "Because I suddenly feel that you are not suitable for the position of Holy Maiden."
His voice is incredibly pleasing to the ear, deep and lazy, with a deadly temptation.
The words scared Yu Yao to instantly kneel on the ground. The holy maids who were replaced in the middle were those who had committed mistakes.
Did the Demon Emperor really know about her loss of chastity?
Then is it going to be her execution next?
Thinking this way, she became more and more afraid in her heart. Holding onto the demon emperor's knees, she burst into tears.
"Master, what did the Fluttering Mist Empress do wrong?"
She raised her small face, warm tears sliding from the corners of her crimson eyes, over her snow-white and smooth skin, finally falling onto the carpet.
Her expression was one of fear and terror, mixed with cautiousness, like a startled fawn.
She was weak, helpless, and pitiful.
Even, she secretly used the skill of pear blossom with tears, hoping to arouse the pity of the man in front of her.
Seeing the woman suddenly embracing his knees and crying like pear blossoms with tears, the Demon Emperor's expression flickered slightly.
The reason why he suddenly wanted to re-select a new Holy Maiden was that he felt that this woman indeed no longer suited the position of a Holy Maiden.
The Holy Maiden is pure and beautiful. Even if she dies, she should not lose her virginity. Moreover, she cannot marry and have children.
Of course, she also cannot seduce men.
Although this woman has not lost her virginity or married and had children, she has seduced him several times, making him feel like he is on fire.
For this reason alone, she is not suitable to continue serving as the Holy Maiden.
Moreover, he also wants to do something else...
But this woman also seems to have been scared, starting to behave properly, no longer like before when she would seduce him.
Moreover, she has not even come to find him, which makes him feel dissatisfied.
Thinking of this, the Demon Emperor suddenly felt unhappy.
He reached out and pinched her chin, forcing her to look at him, his eyebrows furrowed, his eyes narrowed, and he said coldly, "Then tell me yourself what mistakes you have made?"
The cold breath carried a powerful sense of oppression, staring at her coldly like that.
Yu Yao was so scared that she dared not cry anymore. Her face turned pale, and she sobbed softly.
Her brain was whirling rapidly, unsure whether the man truly knew something or was bluffing her.
Only fools would tell the truth.
Her eyes rolled, and she quickly said: "Is it because the spoils of war that Mei Ji chose were a bit too much? Letting Master feel that Mei Ji has no rules?"
The Demon Emperor's handsome face darkened, and he exerted a slight force on her chin with his hand, his mood becoming even more unpleasant: "In your heart, is Master so petty?"
Seeing the Demon Emperor's dissatisfaction and unhappiness all over his body, Yu Yao's heart was pounding in her chest.
"Ha ha... Mei Ji had no such intention. Master please don't be angry."
She wore a ingratiating expression and then hit his leg extremely sycophantically, as she was already kneeling there anyway.
The Demon Emperor's expression was much calmer now, his eyes closed as he stared at her, noticing the tears on her face. His eyebrows furrowed, and he coldly said: "Clean your tears, your makeup is smudged. You're really ugly."
The voice was full of disdain.
Yu Yao's face went rigid, and an awkwardness filled her whole body, causing her to forget about knocking his leg.
She hurriedly picked up a water mirror and looked at herself.
She found that her makeup had not smudged, but instead, her eyes were wet, her eyes red at the corners, and she exuded an irresistible allure. There was no doubt that she looked absolutely stunning.
Damnable man, he actually mocked her.
She took out a handkerchief and angrily and forcefully wiped away the tears at the corners of her eyes.
Her skin was delicate, and so hard to rub that it turned her eye tail into a bright red spot.
This added a bit of charm, stirring the heartstrings.
The Demon Emperor raised his eyebrows, with an air of ice-cold innate aura, and looked at her with deep and mysterious eyes.
But he said cruel and ruthless words: "Why are you trying so hard? If you don't want your face anymore, Master doesn't mind taking it off and making a human skin mask out of it."
Yu Yao, upon hearing this, felt a bit fearful, and had no doubt about the words from the man in front of her; this man would truly do it.
Since she had no more tears to wipe away, she put the handkerchief away and stopped.
However, she mentally cursed the Demon Emperor 800 times in her heart.
The Demon Emperor, seeing that she was obedient, didn't continue to scare her.
A moment later, he suddenly said, "From now on, you will stay by my side and serve me as a personal attendant. You will be responsible for all of my personal matters."
"Hmm?
Yu Yao raised an eyebrow, looking at him with her eyes, all the previous depression swept away, replaced by a look of surprise.
"Yes, Master."
She smiled as brightly as a flower, and her laughter was as spring-like.
Although the position of a personal attendant is lower than that of a Holy Maiden, it at least means she won't die.
Moreover, as a personal attendant, she will be responsible for the Demon Emperor's personal matters. This is not a perfect opportunity to seduce him.
She was really happy at this point, thinking that this task seemed to have hope of completion.
Seeing her happy smile, the Demon Emperor's mood was good, and he raised his lips slightly.
...
Soon, the day of Holy Maiden handover arrived.
The Holy Maiden holds a special position in the Demon Realm, thus the handover ceremony is of great importance.
On the day of the handover ceremony, a thorough cleansing and bathing is required. It's not self-washing, but rather having the magic attendants help wash in the Holy Pool.
The purpose is to keep clean and holy.
Not only does she have to bathe, but so does Hong Ji, who is to succeed her position.
She and Hong Ji were washing almost at the same time. The surrounding demon attendants were vying to please Hong Ji, leaving Yu Yao coldly left on the sidelines.
But Yu Yao didn't mind, simply allowing the demon attendants to wash her.
After being cleaned and washed thoroughly, she wore a plain white silk dress and was led by the demon attendants to the square where the ceremony was held.
In the center of the square was an altar, below which gathered a large number of demonic beings.
As the demonic beings saw her appear, their eyes showed compassion as they all made way for her.
Yu Yao did not pay attention to the compassionate and sympathetic gazes of the demons, walking towards the altar expressionlessly.
Hong Ji also happened to walk to her side, looked down at her disdainfully, and walked up in advance.
Yu Yao didn't care about Hong Ji going up first, but the other's gaze made her feel uncomfortable.
But she didn't count it, and quickly followed her up.
The two of them stood side by side at the center of the altar, facing the demons below.
The handover ceremony itself was quite simple; it involved publicly handing over the symbol of the Holy Maiden, the sacred ring, to the next Holy Maiden's hand, and then the ceremony was considered complete.
At the beginning of the ceremony, an old black-clad elder slowly walked up the altar. He faced the demonic beings and said some words to set the scene.
Afterwards, he looked at Yu Yao and Hong Ji.
Then he announced loudly, "The handover ceremony of the Holy Maiden begins."
Yu Yao lowered her eyelids, naturally walked to Red Ji's front, looked at her, and gently took off the Lotus Holy Ring on her index finger.
Hong Ji's eyes were blazing hot as she stared at the ring symbolizing the Holy Maiden on her hand. It seemed that she was too impatient and almost eagerly extended her hand to snatch it, quickly putting it on.
Yu Yao raised a faint frown, glanced at the extremely excited Hong Ji in front of her, said nothing, and quickly turned around to leave the altar.
The Demon Emperor, sitting on the high dais, saw this scene from a distance. His eyebrows and eyes suddenly became cold as he turned his head to look at the Ye Mubing next to him, "Is this the person you've chosen?"
The face of the Ye Mubing turned pale, and he knelt on the ground in terror, "My Lord, I am guilty."
Hong Ji indeed is one of the most outstanding and beautiful among all the demonic females, but who would have thought that her heart could be so evil.
The holy ring will eventually end up in her hands, what's the hurry to grab it?
Not to provoke the Master's dislike.
"Alright, the ceremony has been completed. It's not good to change people at the last minute."
The Demon Emperor waved his hand irritably and said coldly.
After the handover ceremony was completed, Yu Yao left without paying any attention to the sympathetic and pitiful looks of the demons.
