The Devil Does Not Need to Be Defeated

Chapter 512: It Wouldn’t Be Proper

“This guy…”

Shien’s skillful blame-shifting not only angered the girls but also left Nadue speechless.

Fortunately, she wasn’t new to this. Having observed this thick-skinned Hero for a while, she wasn’t fooled by his righteous-sounding words.

But Nadue couldn’t reveal the truth either.

Therefore, Nadue could only say helplessly,

“Anyway, for my sake, please calm down. Otherwise, the children in the Elven Homeland will be the ones who suffer.”

Hearing Nadue’s words, everyone fell silent.

Only Lasha, who had been watching coldly from the side, spoke calmly, either intentionally or truly indifferent to the situation,

“So, how should we arrange the rooms?”

These words left everyone speechless.

Shien quickly stated his stance.

“Tonight, I’ll only sleep with Lilith.”

Shien picked up Lilith and said this without hesitation.

“Yay!”

Lilith’s eyes lit up, and she beamed.

“I object!”

Lucy protested.

Unfortunately, Shien was a vengeful man.

“Objection overruled!” Shien hugged Lilith tightly and said firmly, “Anyway, I’m only sleeping with Lilith tonight!”

What was a fiancée anyway?

Could he eat her?

A fiancée who not only didn’t stand by her husband’s side at a critical moment, but also added insult to injury, siding with a group of vicious witches and attempting to overthrow his rule, wasn’t worth keeping!

Shien had realized that only Lilith was his most steadfast supporter.

This girl’s recent performance was truly satisfactory.

Therefore, today, Shien would only dote on this little girl, even spoil her rotten.

“You…!”

Lucy’s hand trembled as she pointed at Shien.

This bastard, not only did he dare to flirt with the Dragon Demon, but now he was even planning to mess around with an evil god right in front of her?

Oh heavens! Was this marriage still happening!?

“What about me?”

Airi also realized that opposing Shien wasn’t a good idea.

Now that he wasn’t protecting her, wouldn’t she become the target of their persecution again?

This wouldn’t do!

However, it was too late to salvage the situation.

Having been tricked by this Dragon Demon, if he didn’t take revenge now, then he wouldn’t be Shien the Vengeful.

“Since your sisters are here, you should naturally spend some time with them, right?” Shien smiled brightly at Airi. “It’s just the right time for you to tell your family about us. Such a major life event, without the blessings and approval of your family, wouldn’t be proper. Don’t wait until the baby is born, then it would be too late.”

Don’t wait until the baby is born, then it would be too late…

The baby is born, then it would be too late…

It would be too late…

Too late…

These words echoed in everyone’s ears.

For a long time, there was no response.

“Cough…!?”

Nadue coughed in shock.

What?

What was that?

What just happened?

During the short time she had shifted her attention, how much excitement… no, how much outrageousness had she missed?

Not only Nadue, but even Airi was shocked.

“You…”

This time, it was Airi who pointed at Shien, her hand trembling.

Shien remained calm, showing no pressure.

Perhaps someone like Airi wouldn’t lie about things, only exaggerating a little.

But who was he?

The Hero!

The true Hero!

As a Hero, he should bravely walk the thorny path!

In other words, he was the one who dared to use nonsense to fool people!

“A baby?”

“A baby?”

Lilith and Millu were completely confused, unable to keep up with the current situation.

“…”

Lid and Lucy were completely frozen, unable to move.

Even Lasha couldn’t help but glance at Shien.

It was as if she was looking at a wolf about to be exterminated.

The tree house fell silent.

“Let’s go, Lilith.” Shien said calmly, “We’re going to bed.”

“Okay!” Lilith nodded repeatedly, not understanding, but agreeing nonetheless.

She was still a child, and she didn’t understand the adult world.

As long as she had sleep and the best person by her side, that was enough.

Shien carried Lilith and returned to his room calmly.

“I’ll go and tidy up the rooms for everyone.”

Lasha also decisively left.

“Y-you… wait for me!”

Lucy finally reacted and hurriedly chased after Shien, entering his room.

This princess was completely flustered, her mind a mess, unable to understand anything.

After all, Shien’s words just now contained too much information.

If she didn’t figure it out, Lucy felt that she might as well return to her country, use her own money to buy a grassland, and govern it as her territory.

With her current situation, she was sure she could make this grassland flourish.

After all, only then could grass grow on it!

Airi was still in shock.

“A baby… a baby… a baby…”

This Dragon Demon’s mind had also short-circuited.

When she finally came back to her senses, she found Millu standing before her, staring intently at her with wide, blinking eyes.

On her head, Lid wasn’t lying down anymore, but standing up like a guardian deity, her serious expression making Airi’s heart clench.

“…Let’s go. Back to our room.”

Lid’s voice was heavy and frightening.

“The night is still long. We have a lot to talk about, don’t we?”

These undeniable words made Airi realize that there was no escape.

Tonight, she would definitely be interrogated by Lid all night long.

“…Just you wait.”

Airi gritted her teeth inwardly.

However, two sentences kept echoing in her mind.

“Tell your family about us.”

“Such a major life event, without the blessings and approval of your family, wouldn’t be proper.”

These two sentences filled Airi’s mind.

Even clearer than that shocking “having a baby” remark.

In the end, Airi was still taken back to the room by Lid and Millu.

Presumably, these three sisters would have a lot to talk about tonight.

The living room of the tree house was empty, no longer lively.

Only the unnoticed goddess remained, standing there awkwardly.

“Did they forget about me…?”

Nadue almost questioned her existence.

She was still there, wasn’t she?

Did she have no right to speak or exist if she didn’t reveal herself?

Nadue looked up at the sky speechlessly.

This was the most embarrassing moment of her life.

…

Meanwhile, the commotion in the Elven Homeland subsided, the clouds dispersed, and the moon and stars once again shone brightly in the sky, illuminating the darkened earth.

The elves sensed that the dense natural magic power had also dissipated.

This meant that their Goddess of Nature had left.

However, this didn’t dampen the elves’ enthusiasm.

“Goddess Nadue has appeared!”

“Although she didn’t show herself, the fact that she sent her magic power is still worth celebrating!”

“I… I felt Goddess Nadue’s magic power for the first time…!”

“Consider yourselves lucky. This is an honor we haven’t had in a thousand years!”

“The last time Goddess Nadue appeared was during the time of Mitra, the Hero!”

All the elves were excited, making the entire Elven Homeland lively.

“Goddess Nadue…”

Melika looked up at the sky with adoration, recalling what Shien had said before, about the Goddess of Nature sending a revelation to save her, her eyes slightly dazed.

And in the Queen’s Palace, Sophie, Leia, and Nia, the three pillars of the Elven Race, slowly stood up.

“I didn’t expect our goddess to suddenly appear!”

“Indeed!”

Leia and Nia, like the other elves, became like ordinary elves, excitedly discussing this.

Sophie, however, calmed down.

“Goddess Nadue’s appearance was probably because of what happened on Viscount Buztout’s side, right?”

Sophie knew this in her heart.

“That’s right. Besides our goddess, who else could stop that kind of situation?”

Sophie was glad that their goddess had arrived in time.

But this also made Sophie understand many things.

For example…

“Goddess Nadue has indeed been paying attention to Viscount Buztout and his group.”

Sophie understood this.

Before, when she was considering how to deal with Shien’s visit, Goddess Nadue sent a divine message, instructing her to bring him to the temple.

Now, as soon as something happened there, Goddess Nadue immediately responded, arriving just in time.

Didn’t this mean that Goddess Nadue had been watching Shien and his group all along?

Moreover, this goddess might even be watching nearby.

Somewhere within this nature closest to them.

Thinking of this, Sophie felt a surge of excitement.

And Sophie once again realized that Shien was truly special.

“Talent and potential comparable to the Kingdom’s treasure.”

“An aura that attracts elves and fairies.”

“A close relationship with Airi, the Dragon Demon, and Lilith, the evil god.”

“Now, even the Beast Demon and the Ghost Demon are by his side.”

All of this told others how special Shien was.

Even Nadue, the Goddess of Nature, had started to pay attention to him.

The Demon Race, the human race, the Divine Race.

Important figures from all three races had gathered around him, or were paying attention to him.

“This treatment, perhaps even the Heroes of the past didn’t receive.”

Sophie pondered.

“It seems I need to carefully consider how to treat him.”

As Sophie murmured this, Yulin also flew back, landing on the canopy above the Queen’s Palace, sighing impatiently.

(Not even letting me sleep peacefully, truly worthy of being my master.)

Whether it was a complaint or admiration, Yulin then closed her eyes and lay down.

Tonight, amidst the various commotions, quietly passed.

However, in that tree house, in two different rooms, the chattering continued.

Clearly, Lid was still questioning Airi.

And Shien was also being pestered by Lucy.

“Explain yourself!”

“What’s this about a baby? What happened between you and the Dragon Demon Princess?”

“Explain it clearly!”

Lucy looked exasperated as she shook Shien, who was lying on the bed, holding Lilith.

Shien remained unmoved, ignoring Lucy’s words, and slept comfortably.

…

At the same time, in a hidden cave in another part of the Tegor Forest, a shadowy figure appeared, staring in the direction of the Elven Homeland.

“That magic power and aura just now…”

The figure muttered, seemingly sensing the commotion in the distant Elven Homeland.

“Even with that damned barrier, such a dense magic power and aura could still be sensed. It seems the Beast Demon and the Ghost Demon have indeed gone to the Elven Homeland.”

Realizing this, the figure sneered.

“Good. I’ll use this opportunity to eliminate that eyesore, the Elven Race.”

Just as the figure said this, a voice suddenly came from behind.

“I wouldn’t object to that, but I must tell you, there’s more than just the Beast Demon and the Ghost Demon in the Elven Homeland now.”

A leisurely voice reached the figure’s ears, making him tense up instantly.

“Who…!?”

The figure abruptly turned around.

The next moment, the figure trembled and knelt down without hesitation.

“Master Danas!”

The figure said respectfully.

The owner of the voice was Danas, the leader of [Mirage] whom Shien had encountered in Cosmos.

Danas slowly emerged from the darkness of the cave and came to the figure.

“Rise.” Danas glanced at the figure and said calmly, “I’m just here to tell you that our plans might have changed.”

“Our plans have changed?” The figure frowned. “Did something unexpected happen?”

“No, not an accident.” Danas turned his gaze towards the Elven Homeland, his eyes flickering. “It’s a variable.”

“A variable?” The figure was stunned.

“That’s right.” Danas said nonchalantly. “A variable that will become our greatest enemy has appeared there.”

The figure didn’t understand.

But he knew that Danas must have some instructions.

“What should I do?”

The figure asked directly.

“It’s simple.” Danas didn’t waste any time. “There’s an elf named Melika in the Elven Homeland.”

With just this sentence, the figure understood.

“You want me to target that elf?”

The figure looked at Danas.

Danas only smiled enigmatically.

“You’re a smart person. You know what to do.” Danas said faintly, “I’ll be expecting results.”

After saying that, Danas turned and left.

The figure watched Danas leave.

“Melika…”

A soft murmur echoed in the darkness.
