Magic Realm, Palace of the Ninth Hell
The Demon King placed Yu Yao on the bed and, seeing her pale face, advised her to rest well before leaving.
Although he left, he had two celestial demons keep watch in secret.
Yu Yao watched from the sidelines, pretending not to know. To be honest, she was very conflicted at the moment.
After what just happened, she didn't want to stay here for even a moment.
She always feels that if she ever disobeys, she would end up like the people in the dungeon.
But she also didn't want to go back to Mo Jin's side. Going to Mo Jin, the days were also not peaceful.
Because the Demon King wouldn't let her off either.
Yu Yao suddenly couldn't help but think that it would be better to find a place to hide secretly. After the two children in her belly are born, she can escape from this world.
As for Mo Jin and the Demon King, she no longer cares or can.
She covertly calculated how to leave the Demon Realm, but the system sensed her thoughts and reminded, "Master, don't be in a hurry to leave."
Yu Yao had become accustomed to the sudden system voice, and she didn't scare easily. Instead, she asked faintly, "Why?"
"Master, the Demon King's favorability has stabilized and broken through to 90. This data will stabilize for a period of time. If the host succeeds in strategizing, if you suddenly disappear at this time, this favorability may be greatly fluctuating again."
The system said disapprovingly.
Yu Yao was slightly stunned. Although she had given up on strategizing the Demon King, if she could complete this task, she would of course like to.
The reason she had given up before was simply because she couldn't complete it.
"How long does this data need to remain stable for the task to be considered successful?"
She leaned back on the bed and twisted her fingers, asking herself inwardly.
"30 years, only by maintaining a 90 favorability rating for 30 consecutive years can it be considered a real success."
Yu Yao was shocked: "What? 30 years? Will that not be too long?"
"If the host feels that 30 years is too long, it can continue to strategize. As long as the favorability reaches a perfect 100, it can be immediately judged as a successful strategy."
The system explained in a calm voice.
Yu Yao remained silent, not speaking. 30 years for mortals might be very long, but for immortals and demons, it was just a matter of secluding oneself...
"Seclusion?"
She had a sudden insight and thought it was a good idea, which could avoid facing the Demon King and stabilize her favorability.
After she secluded herself for 30 years, as long as her favorability remains at 90, the task will be considered completed.
By then, she would be almost due to give birth, and she could deliver the baby directly upon emerging from her seclusion.
Many of Mo Jin's prenatal nourishment items were left for her, which would be enough to support her until she gives birth.
The worry is that suddenly going into seclusion might bring about displeasure from the Demon King, causing a drop in favorability.
She furrowed her brow slightly, wanting to probe the Demon King's attitude before deciding.
Yu Yao didn't immediately go find the Demon King. After satisfying the needs of the two little ones in her belly, she lay down to rest.
She slept until the sky turned black, and upon waking, it was already nightfall.
The night in the Demon Realm palace became even more mysterious and cold. A massive night pearl hung in the palace's sacred apex, emitting a faint cold glow, eerie and somber.
She got up from the bed and held her belly.
Two women hurried in, both dressed as palace attendants.
"Miss, your pregnancy is heavy and not very convenient. Let me help you put on your shoes."
One of the women squatted by her feet and took the shoe from beside, gently putting it on her foot.
The two women helped her up and then attended to her as she dressed.
Yu Yao knew that they were sent by the Demon King to serve herself, so she didn't reject them and allowed them to serve her.
"What are your names?"
She looked at the two attendants before her and asked indifferently.
"Slaves, Water In."
"Slave, Yu Wu."
The two women answered in turn, their posture extremely respectful.
Yu Yao glanced at the two women and didn't continue to ask, intending to go for a walk.
She saw Yu Wu bring a large box from somewhere and gently place it on the desk.
She smiled at Yu Yao and said, "Miss, this is what the master entrusted to me for you. He said you would definitely like it."
Yu Yao's gaze immediately fell on the large box, and she walked over to it, preparing to lift the lid to take a look.
Suddenly, she smelled a very strong blood scent.
She was certain that the smell was emanating from inside the box.
Thinking about the scene she saw in the dungeon during the day, she thought there might be something terrifying inside the box, and her face paled slightly. She retreated cautiously with a stern expression.
"I don't want to see it anymore. Take this thing away."
She waved her hand and gave an order with a difficult expression to the two attendants.
The two attendants exchanged glances. Inside the box were just the heads of the six princesses of the East Sea. Although they had died without being able to see, their expressions were grotesque and terrifying.
But as demons, there was no reason to fear the dead.
Just as the two attendants were about to explain, they saw the Demon King walk in.
The two attendants saw the Demon King appear and their expressions changed slightly. They quickly bowed in response:
"Met the Master."
"Met the Master."
The Demon King Fentian did not look at the two, his gaze directly fell on Yu Yao, seeing her pale face and terrified expression.
He furrowed his eyebrows and his gaze instantly turned to the two attendants, coldly asking, "What's going on?"
The two attendants were so frightened by the Demon King's icy gaze that they trembled all over, but they dared not not answer.
"Reporting to the Master, we were about to show Miss Yu the head of the Sixth Princess of the East Sea as per your orders, but the box had not been opened yet when this happened..."
Yu Yao was stunned, and her expression of fear disappeared. She looked at Shui Qin, "What did you say? It's the head of the Sixth Princess of the East Sea inside?"
She didn't wait for Shui Qin to answer, taking a step forward and quickly opening the box.
As the box was opened, a blood-soaked head appeared prominently, covered in blood and grime, with strands of hair mixed with blood sticking to the face.
The two eyes were wide open, staring at Yu Yao intently. Blood filled the entire bottom of the box, making it extremely eerie and terrifying in this cold palace.
Yu Yao's courage was up now, and she wasn't scared. She examined it carefully and confirmed that it was indeed the Sixth Princess of the East Sea.
"You killed her?"
She looked at the man beside her and asked happily.
The Demon King waved his hand, indicating that the two attendants should go down.
The two attendants instantly understood and quietly retreated.
"It was the Demon King who instructed Yumen to kill her."
The Demon King glanced at her happy smile and felt much better in his mood. He explained with a low laugh.
"At first, I promised you that I would kill the Sixth Princess of the East Sea. At that time, my body was not in good condition, and I couldn't fulfill my promise. After returning to the Demon Realm, I instructed Yumen to handle this matter."
He lifted his robe and sat down by her bed, reaching out to embrace her. However, she was pushed against her belly, and his face turned dark again.
Yu Yao was embarrassed and used her toes to say, "Master, thank you. You are very kind to Meiji."
Fen Tian killed Xi Yao, completing the task of avenging the previous host, and at this moment, she was truly grateful to Fen Tian.
"The Demon King has solved your revenge, how should I reward you?"
The Demon King's face improved slightly, and he tried to ignore her big belly, beginning to boast about his merits.
Yu Yao knew what he wanted, and with great tact, she kissed him on the face.
"How about this reward?"
She laughed playfully.
The Demon King, Fen Tian, watched her lively and playful expression, his lips slightly curled up as he reached out to stroke her head, "Not bad."
He wanted to eat meat, but when he saw her large belly, he abandoned the idea.
Yu Yao pursed her lips slightly, what did he mean by "not bad"?
She had already given up on seducing the Demon King, but then she thought about how her favorability had reached 90, and that she was about to receive 100,000 points...
She moved her crystal-clear, transparent eyes and said, "Master, in the past, Meiji was ignorant. In the future, I will definitely behave properly. Please forgive me."
The Demon King, Fen Tian, stared at her silently, although he knew that this little thing was not a quiet person and might not really behave well. However, this phrase did not hinder his happiness from hearing it.
"If you insist on giving birth to this child, I can't do anything about it. But there's one thing: after the child is born, you absolutely cannot keep them in the Demon Realm. Do you understand?"
This was his bottom line. If these two evil seeds were to remain in the Demon Realm in the future, he couldn't guarantee that he wouldn't be tempted to kill them.
