"Ah, beautiful girl, the sunlight at noon today is really nice, don't you think?" It seemed like a cliché pre-proposal pick-up line!
Things were developing too quickly, and Wang Xiaole was momentarily confused by Lucia's reaction;
She took the opportunity to hold his hand and continued speaking with a gentle tone reminiscent of tinkling bells:
"It's dangerous for a girl like you to be out alone. What would you do if you encountered bad people? Luckily, you've met me!"
Weren't you the dangerous one who was about to kill me three seconds ago?
Wang Xiaole swallowed the words he wanted to say, because he didn't have the heart to interrupt the female demon lord who was currently in an excited state.
As she spoke, Lucia's hand frequently roamed over certain parts of Wang Xiaole's body, while also pointing out:
"Oh my, girl, look at all the dust on you. Let me pat it off for you."
"That dust... is from your pet, Xiao Qiang!"
"Xiao Qiang... who is that?"
Lucia looked at him with a completely innocent expression, looking like a child:
"Xiao Qiang, is that someone you know? Who gave such a tasteless name? Tsk tsk, unbelievable."
Wang Xiaole's heart was filled with waves of emotions:
What about the promise of treating it like a beloved pet, relying on each other for life? What about the blue-haired person sending the grey-skinned person?
Does the demon lord's sense of decency only exist when faced with beauty?
"Miss, I don't know your name yet. Can you please tell me your name?"
"Wang Xiaole."
There was no need to deceive the other party with something like this.
Although Wang Xiaole didn't want to admit it, his name was indeed gender-neutral and could be used by both boys and girls.
"Oh, Xiaole... Xiaole Miss. It's too long, how about I call you 'darling'? It's short and easy to remember."
"I'm not!"
"You agreed, right? 'Darling' is so gentle! To show the closeness between us, from now on, you can just call me 'Xia'."
"I didn't..."
"If you agreed, then you agreed. Darling, don't need to say it again. Have you eaten yet? I'll treat you to a feast in the Demon King's Castle."
Lucia moved behind Wang Xiaole and pushed him forward;
And because the demon lord behind him didn't show any hostility for the time being, Wang Xiaole couldn't easily refuse her kindness.
The place where the two of them stood was outside the city gate, the entrance of the Demon King's Castle;
Lucia knocked on the door with her hand, and a few seconds later, the dark-colored gate opened.
"Are you sure this is where the Demon King resides?"
The Demon King was right behind him, but even after Wang Xiaole passed through the long corridor and saw the interior of the castle, he was still surprised.
"Your home is so messy!"
Just by looking at the first floor piled with all kinds of garbage, you could imagine what the entire castle looked like. It was definitely a building that combined the words "dirty, messy, and poor."
Lucia, who had met the girl of her dreams, was too excited to take them inside, completely forgetting that her own place was still unclean.
"Don't you clean up regularly?"
"No, it's not like that. I clean the castle every day. But every time I clean, it becomes even messier..."
"Don't you have subordinates to help with cleaning?"
"Well, I don't have the habit of rallying followers, so I don't have any subordinates... Wait, I'll clean up immediately."
"No need!"
Lucia thought she was wrong to assume that boys were not good at housework when she saw Wang Xiaole pick up the broom. He seemed even more skilled than herself.
"I'll help you clean the house, consider it as paying for the meal."
Domesticated! The word filled Lucia's mind;
She was astonished to see Wang Xiaole, who was able to clean up a residence that she couldn't clean up in months, swiftly wielding two cleaning tools;
The trash on the floor was quickly collected and thrown into the bin;
The first sweep was for clearing debris, the second sweep involved watering the floor, and on the third sweep, the entire castle's interior started to shine!"Wow, dear, why are you so good at doing housework?"
"The way you address me really makes me want to criticize... but if you must know the reason..."
With a broom in one hand and leaning lazily against the handle, Wang Xiaole replied:
"I just don't like to create unnecessary trouble. As long as I focus and put in effort, there's no housework I can't do."
In just over half an hour, the entire castle had been thoroughly cleaned; initially, Lucia had already decided that if she couldn't clean up the castle this month, she would give up her "true form" and find another place to live. But now, it seemed unnecessary for her to move.
(Whispering) "Physically attractive, caring personality, and skilled at housework... No, no! Am I looking for a partner or a servant?"
All love at first sight is superficial, and now Lucia's attitude clearly showed that she was interested in Wang Xiaole in that way. She had already decided that once she got the other person, she would establish herself as a capable and virtuous wife.
When the Demon King saw Wang Xiaole effortlessly wielding a broom, his certainty of being in love grew even stronger. His infatuation was almost overwhelming; it even made Lucia consider holding a wedding on the spot, without any hesitation.
Of course, everything must proceed steadily. Lucia felt that she had successfully captured the other person's heart, but she hadn't yet fascinated Wang Xiaole herself.
(Whispering) "Take it slow. The first thing is to find an opportunity to forcefully push dear into the room! First, turn raw rice into cooked rice, and then slowly capture her heart..."
"You've been talking to yourself since earlier, is everything okay?"
"Ah, don't worry, don't worry. I was just thinking about how to prepare a romantic lunch for dear later on."
The words of a lover (one-sided) are the best waking agent. Lucia quickly snapped back to reality from her infatuated state. She clenched her jade hand and vowed to make today a day that dear would always remember.
Fifteen minutes later, when Wang Xiaole walked out of the kitchen with a stack of plates, Lucia had almost finished decorating the living room. The twelve crystal lamps on the dining table were placed scatteredly, emitting a soft and dim light, enveloping the entire room in a hazy atmosphere.
A brand new, pristine white tablecloth was placed on the two merged dining tables. Silver plates, forks, and knives were neatly arranged on the table, and Lucia had even changed into a beautiful evening gown.
The evening gown had a simple design, with a soft and elegant light red color. Faint V-necklines and golden thread embroidery were scattered over the long sleeves and layered white frills at the hem of the skirt.
Wang Xiaole hadn't had a chance to properly look at Lucia before. But when she appeared in front of him, he carefully observed her features. Lucia's slightly reddened knees were close together, her fair thighs partially covered by the skirt, and a lovely bow accentuated her slender waistline. Her shoulder-length hair fell perfectly, covering her shoulders. Her cheeks, held delicately by her spring onion-like fingers, were fair with a touch of rosy blush. Her dark eyes rippled like autumn water, her nostrils trembled distinctly, and her petals-like cherry lips were moving, biting her pearly white teeth...
But most importantly:
Lucia had enormous and three-dimensional... assets!
There was no padding or padded bras, and it was clear that they were completely natural!
The girl also had very long legs.
A more refined way to describe it would be that her legs were full of enticing curves and her skin was smooth and fair. Someone less subtle would simply think of Lucia as having "long, white legs."
In Wang Xiaole's mind, the information he had previously seen was confirmed: this demon king really liked human clothing. And now, it was undeniable:
"She even plans to use a human instrument..."
Lucia lifted a violin that she had somehow obtained, which seemed to be a musical instrument similar to the one from Wang Xiaole's hometown. As the music flowed through her mind, Lucia's slender fingers danced along.
The soft melody of the violin gradually filled the room, captivating Wang Xiaole's heart in an instant.The concerto being played had a fast pace, appearing incredibly expressive. Interspersed within were some quiet, steady parts, making the entire movement more marvelous, causing the listener's emotions to fluctuate with the notes...
It was impossible!
Indeed, Wang Xiaole had imagined a result that shocked himself, but Lucia's performance clearly subverted his expectations!
Each note transformed into a highly powerful sound wave weapon. Before one musical segment ended, explosions suddenly rang out in the listener's ears.
By the time half of the movement was played, Wang Xiaole experienced a "medical-book-worthy tinnitus," accompanied by dizziness and seeing stars.
When the movement truly ended, Wang Xiaole had already slipped out of his seat, almost thinking he was about to enter the cycle of reincarnation.
"Huh? Darling, why did you crawl under the table?"
"Well, of course it's because you played so well! I regret not being able to hear such wonderful music before; I was so upset that I couldn't help but bang my head against the ground."
A well-intentioned lie.
The truth that Wang Xiaole didn't say out loud was:
Who knows what I just went through? The most torturous and destructive musical composition in the world?
If you use this "dark music" to expand your territory, I guarantee you can conquer the world within three years.
While he was still able to move his limbs, Wang Xiaole, who had endured hardships, struggled to sit back in his chair, panting heavily.
"Speaking of which, Sia mentioned before: You are not the only demon king!
Among the demon race, there are a total of seven demon kings symbolizing the apex, each representing one of the seven deadly sins. And you are one of them, the demon king of Lust..."
"Correct, I belong to the succubus class in the demon race, and I am the highest-ranking queen among the succubi!"
Whether it was because she was called by her name or not, Lucia's current mood was very good. Wang Xiaole could even see her tail wagging behind her... Uh, uh, uh!
"Wait, there is nothing about your appearance that suggests you have any connection to the demon race? Especially without the distinctive wings and tail."
As is well known:
The appearance of the demon race should have hooves, goat horns, a pair of black bat wings on their back, and an arrow-shaped tail shaking behind their buttocks.
But the Lucia in front of him did not possess any of the aforementioned features.
The more he looked at her, the more Wang Xiaole felt that her appearance was no different from that of an ordinary girl.
Wang Xiaole made a bold guess:
"Did you hide your tail and horn?"
"The basic characteristics of the demon race? Maybe my dear prefers me this way, but unfortunately, I was not born with them!
Just like humans, the appearance of the demon race can vary slightly depending on their race and individual."
