The Devil Does Not Need to Be Defeated

Chapter 516: What Should I Do?

Breakfast was lively, filled with banter and playful interactions with the fairies. Despite the boisterous atmosphere, a sense of warmth permeated the air.

Of course, because of what happened yesterday, Shien was eventually held accountable by the girls.

The repercussions of his “baby” remark were directly proportional to the intensity of the girls’ retaliation.

Neither Airi nor Lid let Shien off the hook, targeting him all morning.

However, after yesterday’s farce, they no longer resorted to violence.

Therefore, Airi and Lid could only resort to verbal attacks, attempting to punish Shien.

However, without resorting to physical force, how could Shien, the king of banter, be afraid of these so-called Demon Lords?

Therefore, Shien devoted all his energy to a war of words, not only retorting against the two Demon Lords, but also dragging Lucy into the fray, almost making her explode with anger.

But after learning that yesterday’s “baby” remark was just Shien’s teasing, Lucy was much calmer than yesterday. Although still angry, she wasn’t as furious as Airi and Lid, wisely choosing to surrender and withdraw from the battlefield, not participating in Shien’s verbal sparring.

Thanks to this, Shien achieved a complete victory, defeating both the Dragon Demon and the Beast Demon.

Airi and Lid, unable to out-argue Shien, could only accept defeat, secretly vowing to take revenge in the future.

If they couldn’t resort to violence, Shien really wanted to say,

“I’m not just talking about one of you, but all of you are trash.”

That’s how confident he was.

After all, Shien was just a master of banter. These girls were no match for him. If he truly unleashed his full trolling potential, they would ascend on the spot.

That being said, Shien also knew that the risk of doing so was very high.

If he got carried away, they wouldn’t ascend, but explode and attack him directly.

That would be suicide.

Therefore, Shien only took advantage of these Demon Lord sisters verbally, not resorting to unrestrained insults.

Otherwise, even Airi wouldn’t show him any mercy.

“Trash talk is temporarily satisfying, but the consequences can be severe.”

Shien understood this. After Airi and Lid surrendered resentfully, he also wisely chose to stop.

He couldn’t be too ruthless, could he?

Otherwise, they might unleash their ultimate moves. (jokingly)

Just like that, a lively morning passed.

Afterwards, as he had told Carol, Shien suggested going out for a walk, which Lucy immediately agreed to.

This princess had come here to play and naturally wouldn’t miss the chance to explore the town.

The two innocent little girls also raised their hands enthusiastically.

“Going out to play! Going out to play!”

“Yes, yes!”

Millu and Lilith, one raising her hand and shouting, the other nodding repeatedly, looked quite cute.

Only Airi and Lid weren’t interested at all.

“I’m going back to sleep.”

The sleepy Dragon Demon made this decision without hesitation.

Having been interrogated by Lid all night, she was severely sleep-deprived and didn’t want to go out at all.

“You guys go ahead.” Lid also seemed uninterested and just said, “Remember to take care of Millu. Don’t let her cause any trouble.”

Normally, Lid wouldn’t dare to let Millu leave her sight.

Because Millu was too naive, her thinking no different from an ordinary child’s. If she wasn’t properly supervised, losing her would be a minor issue. The biggest fear was that she would unknowingly cause a disaster or be used by someone with ulterior motives.

Moreover, there was a dangerous side to Millu, which was why Lid always stayed by her side, never letting her out of her sight.

But now, with Shien and Lucy watching over her, and Lilith, the strongest evil god, also present, as long as there were no major accidents, there shouldn’t be any problems.

This was also a sign of trust to a certain extent.

“Then I’ll come along as well.”

Lasha, with an impassive face, took Lilith and Millu’s hands, like a beautiful maid taking care of children.

Although she was a maid without any power, she wasn’t nervous or apprehensive at all when taking care of a Demon Lord and a Demon Lord-level evil god, but seemed very natural, impressive.

Moreover, whether it was Lilith or Millu, they were surprisingly obedient when led by Lasha.

It wasn’t strange for Lilith.

This strongest evil god was very close to Lasha. Back when she split off her other half, Beatrice, it wasn’t Shien who first encountered her, but Lasha. It was Lasha who discovered Beatrice and then informed Shien.

And since then, whether as Beatrice or as Lilith, the evil god, this little goddess had always been taken care of by Lasha, who took care of her every need, even feeding her, bathing her, and coaxing her to sleep.

Therefore, it was impossible for Lilith not to be close to Lasha.

It could be said that the person Lilith was closest to was Shien, followed by Lasha.

Compared to Lasha, even Airi came second, let alone others.

Therefore, when being taken care of by Lasha, Lilith was naturally very obedient.

But the fact that Millu was also obediently and even happily led by Lasha, staying quietly by her side, was quite surprising.

This Ghost Demon seemed so innocent and naive, but she was actually a dangerous person who would seriously consider attacking Shien.

Shien had been creeped out by Millu’s behavior more than once, so he didn’t think this girl would be obedient.

If someone deceived or tricked her with sweet words, that would be understandable, but Lasha didn’t say or do anything, even taking her hand with an indifferent expression, and this Ghost Demon not only didn’t resist, but also looked happy and acted very obediently. This was surprising.

Airi and Lid, on the other hand, weren’t surprised at all, only their expressions were a bit complicated.

Lid even muttered,

“With this maid around, even Millu will be much more well-behaved.”

This was why Lid felt at ease.

After that, Airi and Lid went back to their room to sleep.

Yes, still sharing a room, just like last night.

Airi no longer had the energy to resist, and with a sleepy look, she returned to the room with Lid, got under the covers, and instantly fell asleep.

Only Lid, before entering the room, glanced at Shien, who was happily going out.

“…Can he really interact with us Demon Lords so casually?”

Lid murmured, either with emotion or a sigh.

Recalling how she had just reprimanded and confronted him, and he not only wasn’t afraid, but also retorted so forcefully that she was left speechless, Lid smiled.

If it were anyone else, knowing her identity and being reprimanded by her, they would have probably knelt down, right?

Only this guy dared to talk back to her.

Although she had been angry at that time, now she found it quite amusing.

Because Lid didn’t dislike this kind of non-hostile banter.

It should be said that no one at the top of their respective races, including the Three Goddesses and the Six Demon Lords, would dislike it, right?

There weren’t many who could talk and play with them like this.

“No wonder that girl Airi is willing to stay by his side…”

Lid thought to herself.

“Shafney and Carmina will probably also find him interesting when they see him.”

However, being targeted by those two, it wouldn’t be so easy to escape unscathed.

And unfortunately, as far as Lid knew, those two had already taken action.

When she came to the human world to deal with the Demonic Refining Ritual, Lid seemed to have heard a report from her subordinates that those two had already arrived in the human world.

“Big Sister isn’t even stopping them.”

Lid sighed, then chuckled.

“Good. Let them deal with this thick-skinned guy. Let’s see if he can still be so arrogant when facing those two.”

If he wanted to enter the Demon Lord’s circle, he had to overcome this hurdle.

Only then could he gain their recognition.

“And his fiancée.”

Lid thought of the princess known as the Kingdom’s treasure.

That unbelievably beautiful princess, was she the successor of Mitra?

“She’s not simple.”

Lid didn’t know if others had noticed.

But she had.

She sensed that the princess was undergoing some kind of transformation.

Thinking of the rumors about the princess, Lid understood.

“This is going to be interesting.”

Lid’s expression turned serious.

She knew that if that princess completed the transformation mentioned in the rumors, her power would increase dramatically.

At that time, it wouldn’t be surprising for her to catch up to the Hero from a thousand years ago.

“Besides the Hero summoned from another world, a monster like this can also be born among the humans of this world. I never would have thought.”

Lid suddenly pondered.

“A thousand years later, such an astonishing genius appears among the human race, a Demon Lord of our Demon Race has taken a liking to a human man, Big Sister has recently been paying special attention to the Divine Race’s movements, seemingly investigating something, and the [Original Demon] has become increasingly active, seemingly close to completing that disgusting Seventh, and even ten years ago, that incident occurred, leading to the appearance of that master-servant pair…”

Was all of this a sign of something?

Was the peace that had lasted for a thousand years about to be broken?

Under this trend, what should they do?

“Mother…”

Lid unconsciously muttered and sighed softly.
