Die, princess, the devil is mine!

"Now that the matter of the God-protected Continent is basically resolved, I'll head directly to the God-abandoned Continent to complete the deal with the Demon Clan. What about you? Are you going with the Allied Forces or coming with me?"

Lynn rubbed the two little ones' round heads, speaking as he looked at everyone.

Upon hearing his question, the women exchanged glances for a moment, and then fell silent.

It wasn't until quite a while later that everyone nominated Natasha, who had the most playful and cheerful demeanor, to speak on their behalf.

"Let's... not go. After all, we wouldn't be of much help if we went; we'd just be a burden..."

Although Natasha was smiling as she spoke, it was clear from her tone that she wasn't in a good mood.

They originally thought that after all of them reached the peak Saint level, they would be among the top experts in the Divine Blessing Continent, and would finally be able to keep up with Lynn's pace.

However, after meeting the Dragon Mother and the seven Demon Kings of the Demon Realm a couple of days ago, their newly boosted confidence suffered a devastating blow.

It's one thing that they're not as good as the Dragon Mothers of the previous generation, after all, those were near-gods from countless generations ago. But how come they're so far behind the seven new generation Demon Lords who have only been in power for a little over a year...?

They are all outstanding young talents in their respective worlds, but while they are still complacent about reaching the peak of the Saint rank, the beautiful Demon King of the Bie Mo family has already reached the peak of the Demigod rank.

If the world of miracles and the demon realm weren't absolute mortal enemies, they might have started to doubt their own existence and their dragon birth, wondering if those seven demon kings, whose faces they couldn't even see clearly but who were obviously beautiful, were more suitable for Lynn than them...

Therefore, when Lynn asked them if they wanted to go with him to complete the deal with the demons, no one wanted to compare themselves to the seven beautiful demon kings.

Of course, whether they could win or not wasn't the key point, and they wouldn't feel inferior because of it. The main issue was that their strength was far too weak compared to their opponents. If such a large group of them went with them, and if the demons had ulterior motives and set up an ambush, they would not only be unable to help but would also become a burden to Lynn.

If that were the case, their absence would actually make it easier for Lynn to break through, rather than being forced to fight the demons to the death because they were captured or trapped.

Therefore, whether considering their willingness or suitability, they should not go with Lynn.

"How can you say that? You are my wives, and you will never be a burden to me, no matter the time or the situation. I know that the Demon King on the other side is stronger than you, but it's not your fault that you are relatively weak. The fault lies with this world!"

"If the world of the Divine Realm were not of a lower world grade than the Demon Realm, causing your upper levels to lag far behind the Demon Realm, I believe that with your talents, you would not be inferior to those seven Demon Kings in the future."

Although Lynn was just trying to comfort his wife, it was also true when taken seriously. After all, while the upper limit for both the Demon Realm and the Divine Realm was 999, historically speaking, demigods were extremely rare in the Divine Realm, while hundreds of demigods emerged in the Demon Realm. Peak Saints were also extremely rare in the Divine Realm, and there wasn't a single one in the contemporary world before Lynn started "training." As for peak Great Demons in the Demon Realm... well, they were everywhere.

To be honest, this is a huge difference between two worlds, no wonder his group of wives in the Miracle World seemed so weak in front of the Demon King's wives.

Moreover, there was indeed an uneven distribution. Leaving aside the blessing of the demon god, the experience points gained from slaying demons, which translates to an increase in strength level, ended up being mostly consumed by the demon king's wives. Their levels were largely built up from the flesh and blood of demon demigods and peak great demons, while the obedient wives who actually needed to slay demons and level up only got scraps.

Although it was due to the circumstances and not because Lynn was biased, he still felt quite uncomfortable seeing his wives from the world of miracles looking somewhat ashamed in front of his demon king wives.

He genuinely wanted to treat everyone equally, but unfortunately, the divine world was the bowl, and the demon realm was the basin...

"Although it was meant to be comforting, it still felt quite soothing. Alright, we really won't go. Be careful on your own. The demons aren't necessarily trustworthy, so you must be prepared and take precautions. If all else fails, you must abandon the trade or even the God-Abandoned Continent to ensure your own safety."

At this moment, Helena, holding Catherine's hand, Catherine's hand, and Vivian's hand, Claire's hand, all walked together to Natasha's side, facing Lynn. It was Helena, the Empress, who spoke first.

“You are doing the most beneficial thing for this world. You are saving the world once again and making the world of miracles whole. Although I don’t have those feelings for you until now, if you call me wife again in the future… I will agree. However, I will not have children with you. I have little Yuri and little Yuna, which is enough for me.”

These were the words spoken by Catherine as she stepped forward. She seemed to have figured things out, but not completely. However, for Lynn, this was great news. At least she had acknowledged him as his wife, which would greatly reduce the difficulty of what followed.

"I... I don't really understand world affairs, but I'll always obediently follow you. Even if I can't compare to other people or other demons, I'll always be with you and wait for you..."

Vivian seemed weak in every situation. Her originally invigorated spirit seemed to have been crushed by the appearance of the seven demon kings. But no matter what, at least she did not fall into self-doubt. In the end, love prevailed over fear.

“We…we’re not actually that close, but I admire heroes like you. Whether you’re bait, a reward, or even a transaction, it doesn’t matter. I still think the same way I told you before: you are the choice that fits my original life plan, and you are the best choice, even the best choice. So I will wait for you with them, worry about you, and hope that everything goes well for you and that you lead us to a bright future.”

Claire had a snow eagle perched on her shoulder, wagging its head, so even though her expression was as cold as an iceberg, she didn't seem indifferent or heartless.

On the contrary, Xue'er's role as the atmosphere-maker highlighted her focus and seriousness.

"I've received your kind intentions. Don't worry, I'll be fine, and the world of miracles will be restored to its original state... Since none of you are going, I'll go first..."

"Wait, wait, wait, I need to go!" ×2.

Just as Lynn opened his arms, gathered all his wives together, and said some tender words, two loud voices interrupted him.

Lynn turned his head and saw the two little cuties he had just put down. Little Yuri and Little Yuna were raising their little hands eagerly, looking as if they were afraid of being ignored.

"If your mothers aren't going, what are you going to do?" Lynn turned around and gently pinched the noses of little Yuri and little Yuna. Although he was confident in protecting his wives, who possessed peak Saint-level strength, even in extreme situations like facing one enemy demon and seven allies... or even eight enemy demons, he couldn't do that with little Yuri and little Yuna. Their levels were too low; they couldn't even be touched. If he were to protect them, Lynn's pressure would increase more than tenfold.

"I don't know, but Little Yuri feels that the Demon King's aunties look so kind and friendly, so Little Yuri wants to go and take a look."

"Hmm, I don't know why, but the Demon Queen aunties smell a bit uncomfortable, yet not unpleasant at all. It's so strange, so little Yuna wants to smell them again!"

Little Yuri and Little Yuna held hands and explained to Lynn that Little Yuri's reason was alright; she felt a sense of familiarity and wanted to go and see for herself.

Yuna's reasoning was quite strange. What does "it's uncomfortable but not unpleasant" mean? Isn't discomfort the same as unpleasantness? Did Shia and Vivian even properly teach the children their academic subjects?
However, Lynn knew about the amazing thing about Yuna's dog nose. She used to feel uncomfortable when she smelled demonic scents, but the Demon King's scent, which was extremely strong, did not make her feel uncomfortable, which was indeed quite strange.

When we first arrived on the God's Blessed Continent, even the air was polluted with demonic energy. How did little Yuna manage to survive?

Lynn suddenly realized this anomaly he had overlooked. Could it be that little Yuna was only averse to the demonic smell, while the demonic energy itself had no effect?
Shouldn't she have been overwhelmed by the stench when facing a demon army of tens of millions? Not to mention the omnipresent Mother of Dragons, Victory...

"What's going on with you two? I wouldn't take you to such a dangerous place unless it was absolutely necessary."

Lynn hesitated for a moment, but ultimately did not agree to the two little ones' request. No matter if they wanted to see his demon king wives out of curiosity or for whatever reason, he could not easily give in.

After all, they are too fragile. They can't even withstand the aftershocks of a little bit of the aftershock. What's the difference between taking them to the God-Forsaken Continent and taking two porcelain dolls to sway together on a rocky cliff?
"Um! We're so cute! If you take us with you, Lynn's dad can find a new mom!"

"Yes, yes! Little Yuna has a feeling that a new mother has appeared, how can we stand still..."

The two little ones seem to know what their father's weakness is. Trying to reason with him about other things might not work, but it's easy to persuade him by talking to his new mother.

Their argument is too simplistic and blunt, and it's not very appealing.

Of course, the main reason is that none of them are new mothers; they even arrived before Claire, so they're considered old mothers... oops, former mothers...

"I haven't sunk so low that I need to rely on my daughter's cuteness to buy a wife. You all just stay here with the mothers and wait for Daddy to come home. If fate allows, I might bring a little devil home to play with sometime..."

Lynn crouched down and nuzzled the two little cuties' chubby cheeks, but ultimately smiled and declined their request to follow.

The two little ones pouted when they heard this, but they were still very sensible and did not throw a tantrum.

In truth, they couldn't explain why they were so interested in the seven demon kings; it was as if the thought had naturally surfaced from the depths of their hearts and invaded their souls.

Little Yuri felt that if she could become close to her demon aunties and kiss and hug them, she might grow up faster...

Little Yuna felt that if she became close to her demon aunts and then ambushed them, kissing them until they screamed with delight, she could grow up faster...

But after her father politely refused, she lost all sense of unease; it was clear he was definitely not going to bring them along.

"Alright then, little Yuri likes that talkative, arrogant devil, so let's try to trick her into coming back~~"

"Mmm! Little Yuna likes that Demon King who hides at the very back, trembling, and is the shortest, not much taller than Yuna herself. Daddy will try his best to bring him back too~~"

Since the possibility of going together was no longer possible, the two little ones each named their favorite "Demon Queen Auntie" and asked their father to bring them back if possible.

The arrogant Demon Lord Illya wasn't talkative; rather, as the leader of the seven Demon Lords, she was the one who should speak on behalf of the world's ruler when facing the world's ruler. Otherwise, if all seven Demon Lords were to speak at will, the scene would become chaotic and noisy.

As for the trembling newbie and short demon king that Yuna mentioned, it is undoubtedly the gluttonous demon king Betty the big loli. She might actually be able to play with the two little ones, because sometimes she is like a cute little thing that never grows up.

"Okay, okay, Dad will try his best. But the demons are our mortal enemies. It will be quite difficult to bring the Demon King home. If we fail to bring him back, you are not allowed to be upset."

Lynn patted his two round heads, then looked at his wives. There was nothing unusual on their faces, but Lynn knew that they never imagined he would actually fall for the Demon King.

After all, in their eyes, Lynn was the savior of the world of miracles, the messenger of light, as if he was born to slay demons and save the world. How could he possibly be involved with the king of the demons?

Teasing demons is normal, but bringing them home... how is that possible? Isn't he afraid of being stabbed in the back by the demon next to him in the middle of the night?
Lynn could only silently apologize; he had truly fallen under the spell of the Demon King…

If there's an opportunity in the future, he might even try to get the wives on both sides to get along well; he has some ideas about that.

Although almost everyone in the Miracle World hates the demons to the core, they actually hate the demons who destroyed the demon god's camp. His demon king wives have never slaughtered the soldiers and civilians of the Miracle World, and are even opposed to those war criminal demons.

They also went to great lengths to bring over those invaders who had committed atrocities and owed blood debts in the world of miracles, so they could kill them. From this perspective, the wives on both sides were not actually hostile to each other. (End of Chapter)
