The hero's gender is yet to be determined after rebirth.

Meilan: "?"

Lorenwei: "..."

Meilan: "??"

Lorenwei: "…………"

Meilan: "???"

Lorenwei: "………………Why aren't you smiling?"

**********************

The principal's second office (secret).

"My stomach has finally calmed down, that wretched Bordonna..." The great sage Jansen slumped back in his leather chair, grumbling as he noticed his wife and that vicious woman fiddling with something. "Hey, what are you two doing?"

“I also installed eavesdropping functionality in the protective gem on Vivi.” Aisser and Bordonna had installed the magic crystal eavesdropping device.

"..." Jason touched himself all over.

“It’s a prototype, not stable yet,” Aisser said, adjusting the crystal eavesdropping device.

The shimmering ruby ​​crystal, combined with the unique metal, simultaneously transmits a sound that can be used to track the crystal's location from afar.

Thus, this very advanced crystal eavesdropping device, with a slight tremor but still quite clear, emitted Lorenwei's voice.

Ethers, Jason, and Bordonna perked up their ears.

Lorenwei's strong, boyish voice: "...That's easy enough. Let's see your sincerity. How about you meow like a cat first?"

Then came the girl's shy, almost forced voice: [Meow~~~]

"Huh?!" Aisser's beautiful eyes widened.

When Jason saw her long blue hair tremble instantly, he was like an old cat that had discovered its child was in danger.

Bordonna's eyes lit up as she gave Aiss and Jansen a meaningful look.

Children learn from their parents; it turns out this couple is quite the fun-loving couple...

The crystal eavesdropping device continued to transmit Lorenwei's voice: "Not bad at meowing like a cat. Next, you'll imitate a chicken's crow."

Ethers's face darkened, while Bordonna was intrigued.

Vivi, Dad knows you've taught the neighborhood kids bad nursery rhymes, but watch out this time... Jason prayed for his child.

[Scrub, scrub, scrub—]

Just then, the crystal eavesdropping device seemed to malfunction, emitting a scratching noise...

Just before Ethers was about to lose her temper, the crystal eavesdropping device finally made a sound again.

"Listen, this is how a rooster crows..." Lorenwei's voice was clearly manipulative and didactic, while the boy's voice feigned a seductive tone, "Hey sir~ come and play!"

Chapter 023 Aisser's Fury (Bonus Chapter)

"The child has gone astray!" Aisser was furious.

Listen to what sounds are coming from the crystal listening device.

"Don't be angry, don't be angry!" The doting father, Jason, quickly came to comfort her, "Maybe the child was just playing around."

Aisser's beautiful eyes narrowed into triangles with anger: "But didn't you hear that the girl was clearly forced and was very shy when she made those sounds?"

"Hmph, women, they're just so unreliable!" Jason ignored the raised eyebrow of Aisser upon hearing this, and chuckled to himself, "Maybe the crystal eavesdropping device is malfunctioning, or maybe we misheard."

"If there's a malfunction, it will make noise, but although the sound is trembling, it's very clear and there's no way it's faked!" Aisser was furious. "Hearing that sound, don't you men know what you're doing? What if that girl is a prostitute? What if something happens to her?"

"You're being too direct..." Jason was a little embarrassed, but retorted, "Weiwei hasn't settled down yet, what could she possibly do to a girl?"

Aisser did not answer, her slender fingers flicking incessantly.

She could practically picture in her mind the state in which the girl making that trembling voice would make such a sound.

Yes, it must have been some shady tricks played on him by his precious Lorenwei.

Oh my god! Vivi has turned bad?!

“Yes, I can imagine what you men are doing,” Bordonna chimed in, then wondered to herself: What could possibly happen if you did something like that? Could it be referring to your fingers?

Should I quietly ask Aise...? No, no, I'll get laughed at. Should I try to get information from her by pretending to be her best friend?

Not being an expert in these kinds of things, she started to have wild thoughts.

Seeing that Aisser was getting anxious, Jason quickly tried to explain, "Maybe Vivi learned it from the city? You know she sometimes sneaks out into the city, maybe she goes to some pink and suggestive bars, and that's how she learned those kinds of words..."

Just as he got to this point, Jason sensed something was off...

He shivered.

The air grew colder.

He noticed that ice was beginning to form in the air; icicles were starting to condense in the air.

Aisser's long blue hair remained still as she asked her husband with a sullen face, "Where did you mean?"

Jason's face turned pale, and he shook his head vigorously, stammering, "No, no, no, no, no, no, nothing..."

Aisser was very certain: "I heard it."

Jason protested, "I really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really haven't been there!"

"Then how do you know you learned it at the bar?" Aisser recalled his words and repeated sarcastically, "Hmph, men, they're just so unreliable!"

Bordonna nodded vigorously beside her: "Yes, men are just so unreliable!"

One against two, he was doomed to lose; Jensen was heartbroken.

********************

"Ahem, it seems you're not knowledgeable enough. Fine, I'll tell you the truth, I'm not some reincarnated demon emperor."

Looking at such an innocent girl, Lorenwei couldn't bring herself to tease her anymore, and her guilt grew heavier and heavier.

If the weapons were still there, I might have been able to come up with some other wicked ideas, like getting a female monster to eat my staff or something.

Meilan quickly said, "Your Majesty, you don't need to hide your identity. Actually, I..."

Unfortunately, she was interrupted by the impetuous Lorenwei just as she was about to reveal her name and identity.

“If I were the reincarnated Demon Emperor, how could I possibly be polite to that stupid pig nobleman?” Lorenwei laughed and pulled Meilan up. “I would have sent him to hell with a forbidden magic spell long ago, and there would have been no subsequent events, let alone him being locked up here now.”

“However, my assessment clearly shows that you have killed over a billion human lives.” Meilan still had some doubts and dared not get up easily, but Lorenwei pulled her up by force.

"Ah, your abilities? I didn't expect you to be a superhuman? Do me another assessment." In Lorenwei's mind, what kind of people aren't in this other world? Having some superpowers is perfectly normal.

"It can only be used once a year."

"The warranty period is too long, it's completely unreliable." Lorenwei laughed, "If I were the Demon Emperor, you would be the Demon King, do you think I would believe that? Hahaha."

Could a girl in a tattered cotton-padded coat really be a demon king? Staring at a chicken leg, drooling and wanting to take a bite—who would believe that?

"..." What is the warranty period? Meilan didn't say anything more, and her little brain began to doubt whether her judgment ability was wrong.

After all, he had not received the teachings of the previous generation of demon kings. He was not only a premature baby, but also starved for many years due to congenital deficiencies in demonic energy and food.

Maybe it's really not very accurate?

Thankfully, she didn't reveal her secrets. Hahaha, Meilan suddenly felt very clever.

The atmosphere between the two eased, and Meilan offered her bag to Lorenwei: "Come on, sit up here. Grandma said that people from the south are more delicate and can't sit on the cold ground."

"What about you?"

"I'm used to sitting on the cool floor." Meilan casually leaned against the wall and sat down.

Lorenwei didn't sit on Meilan's baggage, but sat down next to her directly.

It seems I really made a mistake? Meilan saw this.

Slaughtering billions of people, that must be the work of a super figure who dominates several planes. How could such a Demon Emperor possibly care about a tiny existence like me?

She felt that her talent and skills were flawed, and that she had misunderstood his identity.

The cabin was small; when two people sat down, their feet could touch the opposite wall.

This can be considered a form of intimate conversation between the two.

Lorenwei: "We're basically in solitary confinement."

"Solitary confinement?"

"It means being punished for doing something wrong."

“Oh, I know, my grandparents spanked me,” Meilan said. “I snatched the neighbor’s child’s steamed bun and bit the child’s hand. They scolded me for doing that, saying it was wrong. You shouldn’t take other people’s things, especially from those who are weaker than you.”

"Spanking?" Lorenwei asked in surprise.

In this life, she had no recollection of such a thing. Although she played many pranks, her adoptive parents did indeed spoil her quite a bit. Aisser couldn't help but repeatedly pretend to hit her, but Jason stopped her each time.

"Yeah, spanking. I never thought a shoe could make such a loud noise when you spank someone," Meilan said carelessly.

Ordinary young girls wouldn't say such things.

"Hey? Does it hurt when you hit me?"

Meilan laughed and said, "It doesn't hurt, but I won't do it again. Because it's not very powerful, but it's extremely humiliating."

Lorenwei asked, "What's your QQ number?"

"Huh?" Meilan didn't understand. "What goose? Can you eat it?"

"It's nothing, I just misunderstood."

"Haha, just as I thought, Grandma said that people in the south are quick-witted and we can't keep up with them." Meilan seemed to regard her grandmother's words as golden rules.

goo—

A low sound came from Meilan's belly.

She took out a piece of dried bread wrapped in a handkerchief from her bosom, carefully broke it open, and handed the larger piece to Lorenwei: "Try our Master Mountain potstickers!"
