"The girls chased me for three blocks. Are they planning to send me to prison?"
"Who said that? We would never allow anyone to send our little sister to prison! "
Wang Xiaole suddenly realized that none of the opposite sex was staring at him with anger, but instead their eyes were filled with adoration.
Using an inappropriate analogy, it felt like being stared at by a female bandit while acting like a foster son.
However, considering Wang Xiaole's appearance as a girl, it would be more appropriate to call it a "foster daughter".
"Don't be afraid, little sister. My wife and I are chasing you because you're cute and we really want to know your address."
The "wife" mentioned by the girl in red refers to the one who was underneath her earlier.
What's baffling is that almost all the girls who chased after him expressed the same sentiment.
A few of them, aside from asking for his address, also seemed interested in exchanging contact information.
Wang Xiaole couldn't understand:
"I ruined your date and you're not angry?"
"It's alright! We won't hold it against you because you're so cute. Do you want to join us? The three of us can... you know."
Perhaps seeing Wang Xiaole's confusion, the girl in yellow explained the rules of Dibiles:
"You're obviously from out of town, judging by your attire. The rules in this city are simple, just four words can summarize it."
"The law of the jungle?"
"No! It's 'being good-looking.' As long as you meet this requirement, you can be forgiven for any mistakes you make in this city."
"For example?"
"Eating without paying is fine, taking things directly from stores is fine, someone will give up their seat for you when you get on a carriage, and people will line up behind you when you leave... things like that."
(In a low voice) "So, looks matter in every world!"
"Don't be confused, little sister. Besides, the older sisters will take good care of you as an outsider. With your stunning beauty, do you really think you can't live a good life in Dibiles?"
"Yes, besides the Queen, you're the most beautiful girl we've ever seen!"
The girls referred to in the conversation were the highest rulers of this city.
Dibiles, known as the "Moon Daughter City" by Wang Xiaole, was the only city in the whole country, and it was also a super metropolis that housed millions of people.
Among the three human nations, there were two queens and one emperor, and Isabella was one of the rulers of Dibilis.
Of course, in the capital city, there were not only young and beautiful queens but other important figures as well.
Wang Xiaole was the first to notice:
The light above everyone's head dimmed, as if a huge dark cloud was blocking the sun, and time seemed to transition immediately from noon to dusk.
"This thing often appears in the city sky?"
Wang Xiaole pointed the girls' attention to the sky. Some of the sharp-eyed people noticed that it wasn't a massive cloud but a city!
In Wang Xiaole's mind, all the information pointed to one keyword. He instinctively raised his voice:
"Demon King's Castle... I haven't even been here for half a day and I am already entering a boss battle?"
XXX
"Today is a good day!"
Demon King Lucia raised a feather fan in her right hand and placed her left hand in front of her well-developed chest, creating a breeze with her elbow.
"The predictions say that today, when I visit the human territory, I will meet my true destiny girl. Who could she be?"
Lucia paid great attention to these little things, with a pure-hearted like a young girl. She would take serious action for things that others might consider insignificant.
Now, her slender and sexy body was facing away from the sun, and the light highlighted her exquisite figure.
Her perfectly proportioned legs, that couldn't wait to press down on a beautiful girl, were tapping the ground with a slight hint of excitement.
Among the demon race, Lucia had the closest relationship with humans. The most frequent times she appeared were during the seasons when Dibiles unveiled new fashionable clothes.
For example, she loved the medium-length skirt she was wearing now... However, this didn't mean that her relationship with humans was good.
The sky above Dibiles suddenly became shrouded in a dark red magic array.The chilling magic made everyone in the city freeze, and the people looked up at the sky motionlessly. A massive floating castle slowly descended from the magic array, casting its shadow over them, as if the entire sky was blocked.
Soldiers stationed in the watchtower quickly realized that their airspace was being invaded. "We are under attack! The demons are attacking us!" shouted a soldier beside his companion blowing a horn. The companion immediately activated the magical items in his hand.
The melodious sound of the horn, aided by soundwave magic, spread to every corner of the city, reaching people thousands of miles away, serving as a clear alarm. Regardless of the level of alertness in the palace, when the Demon King himself has come knocking, it is necessary for all the important figures in the palace to respond at full force and raise the alert level to the highest.
The new knights, led by their captain, quickly mounted their pegasi and organized a defensive formation in the sky. The captain, as the leader, naturally took the front line, leading five thousand Pegasus Knights to form their formation in the air.
Tens of thousands of court mages were already pre-casting powerful spells and setting up defensive barriers over the city and the palace. The scale of these preparations was unprecedented, and the new knights had never seen anything like it, so it was only natural for them to be curious and concerned. One of them spoke up, "Captain, I remember that Demon King has entered the city several times in the past, and we have never dealt with her before. Why do we need such a large mobilization today?"
Although it was against the military code to talk privately with others during war preparations, the captain figured that since she was being addressed, punishing the person would reflect poorly on her as well, so she turned a blind eye. She looked at her subordinates and spoke.
"Well, can't you all perceive the seriousness of the situation just like her?" The team members were all young girls, whose combined age was still less than the captain's mental age. Therefore, they would honestly reply when asked. "I don't understand!" "Neither do I!" "Is this mission so urgent? Can I go back home and continue using cucumbers on my face?"
"Nonsense! You're all being too naive." The female captain became excited, and her unicorn pegasus under her also raised its front hooves, echoing her actions. She made an impassioned speech, "Do you think every time the Demon King buys clothes, pays for them properly, and goes to the tavern without requesting extra green onions, she is not a threat?"
"But the more you say that, Captain, the more we feel like the Demon King is a good person..." "Nonsense! Don't forget that the Demon King has appeared together with the 'Demon King Castle' today!"
"What's the difference?" The same young girl asked again, and her friends nodded in agreement, making the captain feel like she was facing a bunch of clueless chickens. "They're making a big fuss over nothing. We think the castle the Demon King brought is at most a bragging right for those with a place to live, flaunting their immovable property..."
"Ridiculous! That is the Demon King's castle, equivalent to the Demon King's symbol. Let me give you an example that you can understand: it's like a girl who never wears glasses suddenly putting on her 'true form'..." The expressions of the team members finally turned anxious, and the captain smiled with relief. She knew that those young people finally understood. "A Demon King who didn't bring the castle with her is not scary at all because the Demon King Castle... is the Demon King's 'true form'!"
In an instant, the entire Pegasus Knight Brigade entered an unprecedented state of tension... "What are those people chattering about? Do they think this is a tea party?" Lucia used her excellent hearing to discover that, until a few seconds ago, the Pegasus Cavalry blocking the front of the castle were still chatting amongst themselves. Lucia was furious. "Even though I usually work alone and don't have underlings, can't you at least respect this profession a little? I am the Demon King, for crying out loud!" Lucia's face turned red with anger, and she stomped the floor beneath her feet with all her might, triggering a mechanism with a "click" sound. Then, the castle rang with the sound of gears turning, and the top tower sank, replaced by a massive sculpture that rose and floated upwards. "Go, my beetles!"A sculpture with a barely given name began to move, its gray leather-like skin shedding off in places. Just as numerous lime stones were about to fall on Lucia's head, the sculpture, which had been fixed in position, suddenly sprung up. Its wings stretched out and extended below the clouds, and the swirling wind propelled the sculpture into flight. Its true form was an exaggerated stone gargoyle.
It did not fall under the category of living beings; it was just a useful subordinate that Lucia had infused with magic, giving it life. However, the sculpture had its advantages, not having to worry about loyalty and possessing a long lifespan. It was the perfect pet to alleviate loneliness.
The gargoyle's developed limbs were adorned with sharp hooks, and its huge claws were capable of swatting away people. Its bat-like wings accelerated its flying speed. In the blink of an eye, the gargoyle swiftly approached the heavenly knights, stopping just three or four meters in front of them. Its massive body hung upside down in the sky, its mouth wide open as if preparing to blow air.
"Be careful, it's about to attack!"
As soon as the squad leader warned, the gargoyle forcefully exhaled a gust of air from its mouth, causing the strong wind to lift up the knight's skirts. With no males around, no one cared about which type of undergarment the girls were wearing. But even so, the girls instinctively clutched their skirts, unaware of who had started this rule that hindered their benefits.
"What a lewd attack! How did a genderless gargoyle learn such rogue moves?"
"But it's not dangerous. Do you all feel it? I only think that this gust of wind is slightly stronger than a breeze, but I don't feel any threat."
After being reminded by their companions, the team members felt at ease with their defense. If this was considered an attack, it would never be able to break through their strong defenses.
Only the squad leader remained alert, using her ears to detect the direction of the wind and keeping her body tensed, refraining from making any unnecessary movements. In a split second, a storm surged.
"The sound of the wind has become so violent... quickly, scatter!"
The warning came too late, and even the person herself could not ensure her own safety.
The gust of wind blown out by the gargoyle did not dissipate immediately. Those who observed the direction of the airflow would understand just by paying attention to their surroundings: after circling around once, the wind returned and its force was much stronger than before!
