Chapter 368
"Do you want to run?" Lin Yi asked indifferently.
"Mm… How could that be!!" The Demon God girl chuckled.
"No, no…" The Devil King also hurriedly waved her hands, her face showing a hint of panic, lacking the composure and majestic bearing Lin Yi had seen before.
"I hope so."
Lin Yi reached out and grabbed them from a distance, tossing them into his Creation Realm, and incidentally, the Devil King's palace was also taken into his Creation Realm.
As a King, she had her own consorts, but unlike human kings and concubines, she and her consorts gave birth to new offspring through the Fusion of Origin and Soul.
And her consorts were more like her generals.
Through the Fusion of the Origin and Soul of the strong, a stronger next generation would be born.
Countless years ago, perhaps the Demon Realm couldn't even give birth to a single Saint-level demon, but now, Demon Gods had been born.
The Demon Realm was an Inner World, which meant that it was impossible to give birth to new Life here.
And for countless years, this place had been sealed, with no way to enter or exit, so naturally, it was impossible to produce new demons.
Thus, under such circumstances, countless ways to continue the future were born through exploration, and finally, this miraculous method was formed—Life would find a way out on its own.
Like the Devil King's daughter, that sealed little witch Avril, she was a product of such circumstances.
Lin Yi didn't care about these things; this was the similar method used in the original work.
He scanned with his Divine Sense, and there was nothing in the entire Demon Realm worth his attention, so he took Life and disappeared from there as well.
…
"Mother…" Princess Qinana rubbed the corners of her eyes and yawned, her delicate little face still showing a hint of drowsiness.
Perhaps because she had absorbed a portion of the Goddess of Life's divine grace, her crazy personality had restrained itself slightly.
Queen Estella glanced at Princess Qinana but ignored her, continuing to lean over the long table, looking at the scrolls and documents in her hands.
Beside her, the eldest Princess Cecilia was flipping through various books with her.
"Sister Cecilia, what are you doing?" Princess Qinana walked into the room from the door and asked curiously.
Today, she wore a pinkish-white long dress, her slender and graceful figure carrying the unique charm of a young girl, and the pure and elegant temperament between her brows gave her an extra touch of noble beauty.
"We are looking for which faction will take us in." Princess Cecilia raised her head and replied to Princess Qinana.
"Didn't I say already? It's fine if the three of us just leave!"
Princess Qinana stood with her hands on her hips, on tiptoes, behind Queen Estella and Princess Cecilia, looking at the various books and manuscripts in their hands through the gap.
She had some disagreements with her mother and sister; she only wanted the three of them to leave the Shengan Domain and avoid the divine punishment that might soon arrive.
But her mother and sister wanted to preserve the Deli Kingdom.
For this reason, they were seeking the protection of other deities.
Before the Goddess of Life awoke, the Shengan Kingdom could seek protection, so there was no reason they couldn't find any.
Princess Cecilia shook her head gently, did not reply to Princess Qinana, and once again cast her gaze onto the scroll in her hand.
"Do you think this is easy?" Queen Estella looked up at Princess Qinana, her voice weary.
Her mature and beautiful face was already showing weakness and paleness.
Waking up from the Demon God's bewitchment, she finally understood what she had done. This was a taboo, and those who violated the taboo would be completely destroyed!
She didn't care; she had long since had thoughts of sacrificing herself, but Princess Cecilia and Princess Qinana couldn't, this kingdom couldn't, and those subjects who loved her couldn't either!
"What?" Princess Qinana didn't understand.
"Can you break through the passage controlled by the Shengan Kingdom? Can you erase your tracks so the Goddess of Life cannot find you?"
"Can you endure living your whole Life hiding yourself, existing only as a commoner, or even worse than a commoner…?"
Queen Estella's voice was cold. "Princess Qinana, you need to be more sensible. Princess Cecilia and I can abandon this comfortable Life, but can you?"
Princess Qinana opened her mouth, wanting to say she could, but as soon as she thought of that possibility… her face flushed red—not from shyness, but from anger.
She subconsciously avoided that possibility; she wanted to argue with her mother so she would no longer be mired in that shame.
"I—" Princess Qinana gripped the back of the chair, her voice rising.
But immediately, her face turned pale, and a faint pressure seemed to suppress her breathing, making her unable to say a word.
Queen Estella and Princess Cecilia also stiffened slightly, their hands tightening, gripping the pages of the books in their hands.
A figure that seemed to have absorbed all the light appeared opposite them, and beside this figure was a gentle woman.
They watched the woman pull out a chair, and the figure sat down opposite them.
Only then did they finally feel the atmosphere relax slightly, and their breathing could proceed smoothly.
Lin Yi sat opposite the three of them—Queen Estella, Princess Cecilia, and Princess Qinana—watching them stand up abruptly, and watching Queen Estella pull Princess Cecilia and Princess Qinana to kneel on the ground.
The usually arrogant Princess Qinana had no temper at all at this moment; she was very obedient, even wanting to avoid his gaze, curling herself into a ball, hiding where he couldn't see her.
And although Princess Cecilia remained graceful, if one looked closely, her body was trembling.
"The Deity…" Queen Estella's voice was dry.
"I understand my sins, but I only request that you do not vent your anger on my daughters and this kingdom. Everything is my fault; please punish me."
"No! The Deity, it was all my fault, it was I—" Princess Cecilia raised her head, her voice panicked, wanting to defend Queen Estella, wanting to take the blame upon herself.
"Slap—!!" Queen Estella didn't have time to think; she slapped Princess Cecilia across the face, directly interrupting her words, causing the side of her face to start swelling red.
She dared not look at Princess Cecilia's tearful eyes, her voice heavy. "No, I caused all of this, whether it was the Devil King or the army… it was all the fault of me, the Queen."
Princess Qinana hid behind the two, head bowed, saying nothing, her body trembling.
Lin Yi watched this scene of maternal love and filial piety with ease—not mocking or sarcastic, but true maternal love and filial piety; the mother wanted to protect her daughters, and the daughters wanted to protect their mother.
"The Deity, none of this has anything to do with them. Could you… let them leave first?" Queen Estella requested tremblingly.
"Mother…" Princess Cecilia covered her cheek, her teeth biting her lip slightly.
"The Deity… could you spare my mother and Sister Cecilia…" Princess Qinana suddenly spoke, her voice weak.
This actually surprised Lin Yi a little; he had thought Princess Qinana would keep hiding behind Queen Estella and Princess Cecilia, contentedly accepting their protection.
"I, I can… be your pet…" Princess Qinana spoke tremblingly.
Queen Estella and Princess Cecilia's expressions changed slightly; they knew Princess Qinana's mind was a bit strange.
But they didn't expect that under such circumstances, she would actually dare to say such things.
"Princess Qinana!" Queen Estella wanted to slap Princess Qinana across the face, telling her not to talk too much, lest she annoy The Deity before them.
But…
"Oh?" The Deity in front of them gave a soft exclamation. Queen Estella's eyes widened. What the hell? Princess Qinana's absurd words actually worked?
Lin Yi rested his chin on his hand. "The Demon God matter is basically over. You are just Mortals who were bewitched, but some mistakes still need someone to bear the consequences."
"As you say… Queen Estella is willing to bear them…" Queen Estella lowered her head again and spoke in a low voice; that slap ultimately did not land on Princess Qinana's face.
"Princess Qinana can be your pet, woof, woof, woof—" Princess Qinana looked up ingratiatingly, sticking out her tongue like a little puppy.
Lin Yi remembered that in the original work, Princess Qinana loved collecting female pets the most, right? Now, she had actually become a puppy herself…
"The Deity, I am willing to be punished on behalf of my mother and Princess Qinana…" Princess Cecilia's words were slightly more normal.
Lin Yi played with Life's little hand. "Very well, then, just as Princess Qinana said, I am still missing three pets, hmm, three puppies… are you willing?"
Life looked at Lin Yi's profile, her expression unchanged. Before, Lin Yi wanted her to be his maid, and now, after not even a moment, she had become a pet…
Fortunately, she had agreed quickly, otherwise her treatment would have lowered even further.
"Wi, willing…" A touch of blush appeared on Queen Estella's pale face; she bit her lip and finally lowered her head.
She was a bit confused. Wasn't it the Goddess of Life and that God King? Why did it feel like a Demon God… But immediately, she threw the thought out of her mind.
That God King… it was also normal. Weren't there plenty of such things in the sacred texts?
"Of course!" Princess Qinana seemed a bit jubilant; she had saved her mother and sister, and her suggestions were all derived from what was written in the sacred texts.
"The Deity… Princess Cecilia is willing…" Princess Cecilia also nodded, though the tips of her ears were flushed red.
…
Following the perception given by the System, Lin Yi descended into the Shengan Capital, and no one could see him or the Goddess of Life beside him.
The two walked among the crowd, and after a while, they walked into a manor.
The golden-haired girl was smiling, resting her chin on her hand, looking at the mature woman in front of her. The faint warm sun shone on the girl, making her skin even more delicate and her hair even more dazzling.
"Lolita, how have you been lately?" Sese picked up the black tea and took a sip.
"I'm fine, Ms. Sese. You know, the Saintess's disappearance has left them with no heart to care about my side."
Lolita nodded, and then she thought of something, her face looking a bit embarrassed.
"Sorry, Ms. Sese. I didn't mean it, and I'm not gloating. I just…"
Lolita struggled for a good while, still unable to think of suitable words.
"I understand, I understand." Sese soothed Lolita's emotions. "I know you didn't mean it. Relax, relax a little, Lolita. We are friends, aren't we?"
"Yes, Ms. Sese. Thank you for your tolerance."
Sese was just about to ask a question when she stopped. She looked at the surprise on Lolita's face, and she subconsciously turned her head, looking in the direction of Lolita's gaze—
Lin Yi and Life were walking in the sunlight, as if walking in Holy Light, the radiance naturally gathering behind them.
Sese and Lolita both stood up, watching Lin Yi bring Life to stand before them.
