"Wishing you a pleasant meal!"

"I will!"

The dragon, completing its 500th transaction of the day, collected the money with one claw and received the delivery with the other, then soared into the sky, its wings covering the sun.

After the courtyard of the castle was pressed down by its massive body, there were indentations on the floor.

"Tsk tsk tsk, even dragons have fallen in this economic downturn."

The demon king who had fallen for love, sighed at the dragon lineage which had fallen for money...

Lucia held a box of takeout in each hand, preparing to share them with Wang Xiaole when she returned.

"Do demons need to eat human food?"

Without warning, a bolt of lightning shot from the outside, piercing through the box in Lucia's right hand, shattering the packaging and burning the food inside.

The smiling face of the demon king quickly turned dark, and her skin seemed to darken slightly.

"Hey hey, even in a battle between armies, you can't suddenly attack when the other side is having lunch. Do you not understand the rules of engagement?"

"That's just a trick of the demons. Our rule as 'humans' is: results come before everything!"

Isabella vibrated her pair of lightning wings behind her and landed gracefully in front of Lucia from the sky.

Resting her chin on the back of her hand, she appeared much different from her previous dignified self, as if entering a proud mode on the battlefield.

Lucia was momentarily stunned when she saw the other's face.

Then her eyes swept over and focused on the iconic banner held by Isabella, causing her to exclaim, "Oh":

"Oh, it's the famous 'Flat-chested Empress'! Information about your lack of development is a topic of interest among our succubus clan."

"Bold words!"

If anyone stood beside Isabella, they would definitely see her forehead veins gradually bulging, with the sound of firecrackers exploding.

Dragons have their scales, humans have their limits, and Isabella's limit is being talked about having a "flat and smooth" figure from head to toe.

With an unkind expression, Lucia protected the remaining box of takeout.

Facing her opponent face to face, with one hand on her waist, she retorted with great momentum:

"Large breasts are only temporary. When you reach a certain age, they will sag along with your shoulders. It's also exhausting to sleep on your back, and your whole body will ache after walking for too long..."

"Sorry for understanding the demon physique."

While apologizing, Lucia's lips curled into a mischievous arc as she made a devilish laugh:

"Hahaha, at the level of the demon king, not only do we have a lifespan of over ten thousand years, but our appearance cannot age. Even if the grass on the 'Flat-chested Empress' tomb grows to a meter tall, I will still look as young and vibrant as today, and the aging of my body will never happen!"

"Humph, I won't stoop to your levels, demons."

Isabella, unable to outwit her opponent, provocatively said:

"The benefits of having a flat chest are something a large-breasted person like you will never understand. You are as shallow in knowledge and mentality..."

"Yes, yes, you're so amazing, 'Little Washboard with Big Dreams.' I really can't compare."

The victor of the verbal battle turned around and walked towards the castle where she lived.

However, the other person had no intention of letting her go. Lightning shot out from the palm of her hand, piercing through the void and directly towards Lucia.

The lightning emerged from the right side of Lucia, and the separated arcs transformed into several sharp thunderous swords.

Elements can freely change their appearance, and Isabella, who controlled the element of lightning, naturally had a stronger power.

At this moment, the sword blades descended, aiming at the target and striking down freely!

"If you're not my beloved...what qualifications do you have to be so arrogant in front of me?"

Just as Lucia's body was about to be hit, a large number of ice crystals enclosed her entire body.

As the ice particles achieved their self-protection goal, they quickly gathered into ice and snow and counterattacked the group of swords.

Creak, creak, creak, creak~

The appearance of ice and snow had the characteristics of ordinary natural elements, but the additional effects were more powerful than corrosive liquids. Instead of saying that the group of swords was dissolved by the snow, it was better to say that they were corroded and dissolved.

"Really, I can't even have a peaceful meal."

Lucia spun around on her feet, holding the folding fan in her hand, and fanned waves of icy cold air towards herself. The wind passed by, freezing the surrounding air mercilessly.

"I use thunder, do you use all elements?" Just as Isabella had described:

If she herself was a master of the thunder element, then Lucia was a master of the eight elements (water, fire, ice, wind, earth, thunder, light, darkness). Under normal circumstances, the Empress indeed wasn't confident in defeating her opponent. However, the current situation was far from normal.

"You're weakened?" Isabella deduced the problem at a glance and carefully chewed on it with her teeth:

"Among the Seven Demon Kings, even the weakest possesses 'Devastation' level strength. Yet, I sense a weakness from you that is only a half-level lower than 'Devastation'. Even though it's just a half-level difference, it's enough to overthrow your advantage!"

Lucia, not at her peak, and Isabella, in a good state, were evenly matched. However, the premise was: humans were the ones dealing with Lucia!

"To encounter the Great Demon King in a human country, is it fate?" A loud shout rang out, and a figure measuring about two zhang in size appeared in the distance. He had long horns on his head, resembling a giant bull from afar.

Lucia only glanced at the shadow and immediately exclaimed:

"Is it a troll? The information I received was true."

Dibiles was the weakest among the human countries. In order to balance the gap in national power with other countries, the previous generations of empresses gathered the scattered demon tribes. Isabella's ancestors took the demon tribes under their command, allowing them to enter the "Elder Council" that only elites in the country could enter, using promises of prosperity and riches to secure their loyalty.

Today, the demon tribes of Dibiles, led by the "Elder Ten" who represented their dominance, gradually encroached on the country itself. Although the Elder Ten were not the same kind of demon tribe, each of them possessed 'Devastation' level strength. Together, their power was no less than that of the royal family. If not for the fact that these ten demon tribes were not united, Dibiles might have been under a different ruler by now.

"I recall that I didn't invite you reptiles to come!" The current empress, who hated all races except humans, especially despised the demon tribes. During her years in power, she had thought about eliminating the influence of the Elder Council several times but was helpless due to the burden left by her ancestors. The empress could only watch as the demon tribes continued to occupy the centers of power. In recent years, she had done everything she could to curb their growing influence.

"Your Majesty, you're thinking too much. We are the kind-hearted demon tribes sincerely considering the country's interests. Our appearance this time is merely to share your worries." A handsome demon tribe man said so, but his sinister smile carried no convincing power. The horns protruding from his forehead confirmed his identity as a horned demon.

The remaining two companions who appeared with him, including the troll from before, were members of the "Elder Ten". The Elder Council had faced significant suppression in recent years. Since the Royal Family always gave external wars to the Knights' Order, the demon tribes had no opportunities to establish achievements or find reasons to further weaken the royal family's power. Now that they finally found a chance, and the prey was one of the influential Demon Kings, the Elder Council naturally wouldn't let go of the opportunity.

"You all, withdraw! This battle is between humans and demon tribes, there's no need for three reptiles..." Faced with the Emperor's command, the horned demon, the troll, and the fighting demon shook their heads.

They understood that the empress was just throwing a tantrum because according to the rules laid down by their ancestors:

Whenever they encountered a formidable enemy, it was the duty of the Elder Council members to participate. Reversing the interpretation of this rule written into the legislative provisions, it meant that:

When it came to the duty of the Elder Council, no matter who issued the command, no matter how unquestionable the command was, in the face of absolute rules, the members of the Elder Council were allowed to ignore it.

"Your Majesty, please keep your distance. Don't let the blood of the evil demon tribes stain you." "Leave the Demon King to us, you only need to think about how to reward us afterwards."The implication behind the words of the three demons was to target the Empress! If Isabella, who had the power, were to marry someone from the Senate, it would only be a matter of time before the royal core was gradually replaced by the demon race; of course, the Empress's unparalleled beauty was also an important reason that made them have wicked thoughts; after all, the six major races had long converged their judgments of beauty and ugliness according to human aesthetic standards...

"Stop talking nonsense!" Lucia immediately spoke, and her feather fan in hand suddenly waved, sending out a violent gust of wind.

The storm struck the troll before him, colliding with his body. In an instant, his abdomen caved in and his massive body tilted heavily backward.

"Puah!" The troll spat blood and forcefully treaded on the ground to prevent his enormous body from falling down.

Looking at his body that was like it was chiseled from rocks, the troll's injuries weren't enough to kill him, but his body had undoubtedly been pierced through, with cracks spreading rapidly on his flesh and blood.

"You!" The demon and the devil were greatly shocked.

From their brief exchange just now, they truly realized the difference between themselves and the Demon King, and were glad that the latter's strength had now declined. Otherwise, if it were in the past, just the awe-inspiring aura emanating from the Demon King's peak state would be enough for them to realize the insurmountable gap in power.

"Let's attack together!" Lucia faced the encirclement of the three opponents and couldn't help but feel a bit tricky.

If it were today, or even just ten minutes ago, she would have had the confidence to defeat all three demons after a fierce battle. But not now!

In her left hand, she held the lunch she had prepared for her lover. She didn't have the chance to free up her other hand, so she encountered a formidable enemy that she couldn't easily deal with.

What she held in her hand wasn't something valuable; she could easily buy another one at any time. But! Even a moment earlier, Lucia wished for her lover to be able to eat a warm meal as soon as possible. This was something Lucia couldn't compromise on.

Indeed, she wasn't good at housework or music, and every time she cooked, it turned into a dark dish......(whispering) "But I am a virtuous wife, and I take pride in that! If I can't even hold onto this stubborn insistence, I won't have anything left."
