âDaddy!â When Chen Rui appeared in the yard, and Little Duoduo was the first to fly to him, âDuoduo wants to eat blueberry milkshake, pearl mantou, white banana cake, red chestnut porridge and assorted pudding todayâ¦â
Listening to this series of dishes, the slime was drooling. Chen Rui smiled and touched his daughterâs smooth little face, âOkay, no problem! Daddy will make it for you right away!â
Chen Rui quickly took out a series of tools and ingredients from the storage warehouse, and he prepared breakfast at the speed of a super powerhouse. His attitude was almost as serious as fighting. At this moment, he could finally appreciate the feeling when the old father-in-law Auglas faced Ms. Black Dragon. Whether it was Demi-God or Pseudo-God, in front of his daughter, he was an uncle-type father.
For the sake of her daughterâs heartfelt smile, everything was worth it.
However, the world was full of wonders. There were a handful of âparentsâ who were exceptions, or they couldnât be called âparentsâ at all. Chen Rui turned to look at the figure sitting in the corner, and he sighed.
âBrother, Iâll make pudding with you.â The appearance of Chen Rui made Alice no longer in the mood to dance. She danced as she came over. After all, this was not a breast enhancement dance that could make her a âbig breast starâ. Only Athena and the others were still dancing seriously.
Seeing that Chen Rui was looking toward Tiffany in the corner, Alice stepped forward in dissatisfaction and whispered, âBrother, this Tiffany is so annoying. I talked to her several times, but she ignored me.â
Chen Rui shook his head without explaining. Alice was actually well-intentioned, and she was not the first person to be turned down by Tiffany. These days, everyone who tried to contact Tiffany failed without exception, including Chen Rui himself.
For some wounds, âsympathyâ would not heal the wound, but it would make the wound deeper instead. Moreover, Tiffanyâs current state was equivalent to completely isolating herself. No matter how good the medicine was, it would not be able to touch the wound for treatment through the shell that rejected everything.
Unless she could get out of the trauma herself.
The dance was finally over. The breakfast was almost ready at the speed of Chen Ruiâs Demi-God level. Everyone gathered around laughing. Chen Rui, who had just been a guest chef, immediately turned into a cheerleader, handing towels and water diligently.
Curious princess loli: Athena, what kind of food is on your plate? Brother is so biased. Why donât I have it?
Athena with a blissful face: Alice, actually that isâ¦
The grinning Madam Aunt: Alice, thatâs something we all envy⦠Itâs your brotherâs special nutritious mother-to-be breakfast for Athena.
Princess Loli who joined the envious troop: Oh...
The smiling Madam Aunt: Kia, if you want to eat it, you have to work harder tonight.
High-spirited little succubus: Understood! Work hard! Work hard! Uh⦠by the way, itâs Zolaâs turn tonight right? Do you want to switch?
Fake daze Ms. Fairy Dragon: What?
The rather speechless Delia: Hey hey! Watch your words, you big-mouthed women. Alice and Duoduo are still here!
Princess Loli who imitated the fake daze from Teacher Fairy Dragon: It doesnât matter, I donât understand. You guys continue.
Little Duoduo who really didnât understand: Daddy, I want another white banana cake.
Ms. Emerald Dragon who was always focused on food: (nom nom nom).
Master Truly Handsome who was always focused on food: (nom nom nom).
â¦â¦
This time, Chen Rui officially brought Samuel and his wife back to the Demon Realm. When they learned of the Royal Highness Princessâ identity and glorious deeds in the Demon Realm, Samuel and his 2 wives were stunned.
The prince consort of the Demon Realmâs 2 empiresâ empress. Oh, soon-to-be prince consort of the third empress, and these 3 empires are about to become an alliance; that is to say, the Demon Realm will be unified.
The establishment of the alliance is planned by a certain Royal Highness from beginning to end. As the only husband of the 3 empiresâ empress, âArthurâ, no, it should be called Royal Highness Chen Rui is actually the behind-the-scenes controller of the entire Demon Realm.
How can this kind of identity be compared with an imperial prince or ruler in the human world!
As for the legendary stories of those battles and martial battle competition, it is even more exciting.
Samuel had now been stationed in the Dark Moon Lordâs mansion and had begun to gradually take over the military affairs of the Dark Moon Estate while Joanna and Ina had also exerted their respective talents. Joanna was responsible for the economy and internal affairs while Ina had taken over the security work. She intended to set up a mercenary union in the Dark Moon.
These 3 people were all confidants who had spiritual links with Chen Rui. There was no doubt about their loyalty. Although the positions they held would have a certain impact on the original authority of the Dark Moon, once they were adjusted, Athenaâs burden would be lightened a lot less in the future- For now, Athena and Kia had eased a lot after the 3 joined.
As for some turmoil within the Dark Moon, Chen Rui was not worried at all. Now that Athena, who was in control of the military and political power, had basically achieved complete control over the Dark Moon, the little troublemakers couldnât cause any chaos at all, let alone that he even had absolute power.
âBy the way, how are you all feeling these days?â After receiving Veronicaâs reminder, Chen Rui added a 2-star [Star-level Enhancement] to Athena and others.
2-star enhancement was different from 1-star enhancement. 1-star enhancement was limited to 1 month. First, the strength would regress, then it would slowly recover, which was like turning over a new leaf and rebuilding the foundation. Meanwhile, 2-star enhancement was to directly give a faith âseedâ to the other party. There was no time limit, and the effect of [Star-level Enhancement] depended on the individualâs comprehension degree. In other words, if some comprehension level was not enough, even if they accept the 2-star enhancement, it would hardly have any effect.
âLeader, I havenât felt anything special recently. Itâs completely different from the previous enhancement.â Delia shook her head, âMaybe itâs because my talent is low.â
âI donât have any special feelings too.â Kia was tearful and looked pitiful, âBut⦠Chen Rui, I really want to be a Star Queen.â
âThe Star Queen and this are 2 different things, okay?â Isabella exposed the little succubusâ attempts. The advanced Star Conferring Platform had newly added the star position of the âStar Queenâ, but there were only 3 slots. Regardless of the strength, this title alone had attracted the competition of the women of the harem. The rarest âStar Concubineâ had been increased to 7 slots, but only rare was valued, so it was ignored.
The little succubus didnât get angry when her trick was exposed. Instead, she handed over Isabellaâs favorite lily porridge. Madam Aunt naturally didnât say a word after receiving the benefit from her.
âMy feeling⦠It seems to be very comfortable, but I canât say it specifically.â Athena said honestly.
Zola said, âI was just about to tell you about this. Recently, something seems to be wrong with my soul. There are faint signs of splitting. I wonder if it is an illusion?â
âI feel the opposite of Zolaâs. It feels like my soul power has expanded infinitely, and Iâm dreaming every night.â Isabella smiled and glanced at Alice, who was listening with her ears pricked up, then she blinked narrowly, âAs to what kind of dream, letâs not talk about it in detail.â
âHmph hmph, female fox. Whatâs with the mystery, isnât it just a dream of kissing my brother?â Princess Loli whispered.
âIf itâs that kind of dream, I have it too.â The little succubus added with a smile.
â¦â¦
Everyoneâs feelings were different. It was not easy for Chen Rui to judge for a while, especially Zola still had the symptom of âsoul splitâ, but the [Star-level Enhancement] should have no side effects. Letâs wait and see what will happen
Soon, the sumptuous and lively breakfast party was over. Athena, Kia and Delia returned to the lordâs mansion, Zola returned to the Rainbow Valley to study her own soul problems. Isabella and Krobelus took Duoduo to the streets while Dodo earned extra money by working as a bag carrier.
Alice originally wanted to stay with Chen Rui secretly, but when a female fox âinadvertentlyâ said that the store also sold miraculous magic height-enhancing shoes, Princess Loli, who had been deeply concerned about her height and bust, finally chose to go shopping after an intense dilemma struggle.
In the entire house, only Chen Rui and Tiffany, who had been hiding in the shade, were left.
Tiffany had the same breakfast in front of her like Chen Rui and others, and she was also eating the same, but her movements and expressions were very mechanical no matter what she ate.
These days, no matter who talked to her, even if it was Isabellaâs cynicism, she always looked blank.
âTiffanyâ was indeed still alive, but her soul had died in the Holy Light Mountain, in that spirit gathering magic circle.
In this way, not to mention being the ruler of the Bloody Empire, she couldnât even compare with an ordinary person.
Chen Rui approached Tiffany slowly. He was not trying to persuade or enlighten her. Instead, he had made a decision.
âDo you feel that life is full of despair?â
âDo you feel that life has lost its purpose and meaning?â
âDo you really want to die?â
Tiffany still sat numbly as usual.
âIf you already have the preparation to die, thenâ¦â
âFollow me.â
When these 2 words sounded, Tiffanyâs body finally trembled.
Although her mind was isolated from everything in the outside world, she could not isolate the voice in her memory, let alone erase this sentence.
It was the third time now.
The first time was at the Mysterious Land. As a contender for the silver box, this man went through hard work and finally succeeded in getting the box. Just when she thought she had exhausted her value and was about to face death, this man unexpectedly said these 2 words to her. Then, he took her away from the deadly place and gave her the silver box that exchanged for her own freedom. No matter what his purpose was, this was the first time she felt warmth.
The second time was at the Holy Light Mountain. At the most desperate time, this man walked up to her in front of all the enemies, then that warm power flowed into the heart that was already cold to the point of extinction. Although she didnât know what happened after she lost consciousness, she knew exactly what the place was and what kind of terrifying enemy there was. Now that she was able to appear here safely, it was conceivable how intense the fight was.
Looking at the hand that was stretching over, Tiffanyâs vision became a little blurry. She raised her hand tremblingly.
The voice sounded again, âYou have to think carefully because holding my hand is equivalent to holding death.â
Death?
Instead, Tiffany calmed down. She somehow gathered the strength and held that hand tightly.
No doubt, it was like the warmth in her memory.
The moment she held that hand, she felt an incredible force wrapping around her, and her soul began to turmoil as if it was about to break out of her body.
Am I holding on to death already?
Tiffany didnât resist. Even dying in this warmth was better than dying in despair and loneliness in that icy nightmare.
Her soul drifted under the guidance of that power, and her consciousness gradually became blurred.
TL: Death? He didnât mean to kill her right?
