Marrying the Soft-hearted Villain

“And then, you know…” the goat-horned demon said, revealing a mysterious smile. “I think my version is more believable.”

Having listened to two versions, the bald four-horned demon who first brought up the topic also spoke: “I have a third one…”

Before he could finish his sentence, several voices filled with curiosity interrupted him: “Tell us, tell us!”

The bald four-horned demon chuckled. “My version is definitely the most detailed. It came from an informed demon scholar.”

“It’s said that His Majesty the Demon King had his eye on the Queen since he was very young and had been saving up to marry her. The Queen also loved His Majesty, and they secretly admired each other…” The bald four-horned demon spoke as if it were true:

“Later, I heard that something happened to His Majesty when he was still weak, and he could only afford three hundred catties of salt stone as a dowry, but the Queen still married him without hesitation.”

“Later, there were always bad demons and monsters coveting Her Majesty's talent. To protect her, His Majesty cultivated diligently and became the Demon King. Then, after waiting bitterly for seven hundred years, he committed suicide, reincarnated, and forcefully took her…” The bald four-horned demon said, “The part after ‘forcefully took her’ is pretty much the same as the two versions you just mentioned.”

“Oh~” Everyone instantly understood, revealing meaningful smiles.

In fact, for more than a month, because there hadn't been a Demon King for a very long time, and it was said that the current Demon King was the reincarnation of the previous one, there were also rumors that His Majesty reincarnated for the Queen. So the entire demon world was in a state of extreme excitement.

Although most demons in the demon world are innately less emotional than the demon race, the middle and high-ranking demons who have developed intelligence are not without feelings.

On the contrary, because many demons are born in dangerous places in the demon world, most of them value their companions born in the same terrain, calling each other family, and are even more united than some demon races with blood relations.

In the lives of these demons, the first pursuit is cultivation, and the second is passionate love.

In their lives, those who live past a hundred years are few. Most demons have never heard of a love like Yuan Jue and Ruan Qiuqiu’s.

Therefore, Yue Chen, the big mouth, only casually revealed a little bit, and it set off a wave of enthusiastic adaptations in the demon world.

Almost everywhere you went, you could hear demons talking about the romantic love story of His Majesty the Demon King and the Queen.

But everyone knew that His Majesty was omniscient and omnipotent in the demon world, so they were very careful and would not say anything offensive or insulting.

After listening to so many versions of the story, even the naive demon, who wasn't very well-informed, showed a look of yearning. He was young and didn't quite understand that some things couldn't be said so directly, so he didn't hide it: “So the final outcome is that His Majesty locked the Queen up, and then they lovingly made babies? His Majesty is so amazing, it's been more than a month. The longest I can go is two hours. My partner definitely can’t find out about this.”

The four-horned bald demon who could only last for one hour: “…”

The goat-horned demon who couldn’t last for an hour: “…………”

The elder demon who could barely last a little over an hour: “……………………”

“What's wrong?” The naive demon looked at his three companions. “Why aren't you talking?”

The other three demons: “…………” Don't you know why we aren't talking? This is too much of a blow to a demon's confidence. It's fine if we can't compare to His Majesty, but we can't even compare to the most inexperienced naive demon? Do we still want our self-esteem?

Seeing that the naive demon still had no self-awareness, the other three demons looked at each other and consciously skipped the topic.

If they continued, they really wouldn't have any self-respect as males.

---While the gossip craze was sweeping the demon world, some turmoil was also occurring in the demon continent.

Because Yuan Jue had previously broken through the spatial barrier between the demon world and the demon continent, the Winter Bear Tribe became the only passage between the two worlds.

In addition, the Winter Bear Tribe could be considered the tribe of His Majesty and the Queen. The demons who rushed to curry favor had worn down the doorstep of the Winter Bear Tribe the day after Yuan Jue and Ruan Qiuqiu's wedding.

In the following days, the demon tribes who received the news also came to visit and offer condolences to the small tribe that once had no presence on the entire continent.

If Yue Chen and Ruan Hanshan hadn't stayed to help, Grandpa Panda and Tian Ye, who weren't very smooth talkers, wouldn't have been able to deal with so many cunning old foxes.

For example, right now:

The White Fox Clan Leader was sitting bonelessly in a chair, his foxy eyes like silk, lazily looking at Tian Ye, who was sitting upright in front of him, and said with a smile, “How about it? My request isn't too much, is it?”

He was clearly a male fox, but he was more charming than a female demon. His gentle voice fell on Tian Ye’s ears. “It would be my honor to cooperate with Leader Tian. It's a pity that Leader Tian, so young and beautiful, already has a partner…”

As he spoke, he glanced at Tian Xiu, who was blushing behind Tian Ye, and chuckled.

Tian Xiu: “…………” Being a roc is too difficult.

This clan leader, who wanted to use his beauty to exchange for the right to travel to the demon world for his tribe, wasn't the first. He had gone from initial shock, anger, and jealousy to increasing calmness.

No matter what other demons said, he would never make things difficult for Tian Ye in front of them.

But in private, he still couldn't help but feel jealous.

Tian Ye was speechless. She directly rejected the White Fox Clan Leader's proposal and drove him out.

The White Fox Clan Leader wasn’t very angry after being rejected. He remained graceful and said with a smile that he would come again.

Just as the White Fox left, Yue Chen and Ruan Hanshan, who had just rejected a group of demons and monsters, also walked in.

Yue Chen mercilessly scolded his younger brother: “Did you grow three mouths just to blabber everywhere? Do you know that there are at least twenty versions of the story about His Majesty and the Queen circulating outside now?”

“Twenty?” Hearing his brother's words, Yue Chen not only didn't feel embarrassed or realize he was wrong, but his eyes lit up. “I've only collected nineteen. Where's the other one?”

Yue Chen: “…………” If this wasn't his own brother, he would have just killed him.

Tian Ye and the other demons were also speechless, but they also wanted to laugh—

Although Yue Chen couldn't control his mouth, he still had a sense of propriety. He had… restrictions set by his brother, Yue Chen. He couldn't reveal some key things, so everyone was quite reassured.

But speaking of this topic, Tian Ye herself couldn't help but gossip, “It's been so long, why haven't Qiuqiu and His Majesty finished yet…”

Generally speaking, the bonding of humans is the fastest. For demons, it depends on the situation, usually two to ten days. Even if it's outrageous, it's at most half a month.

It's been almost fifty days, why haven't they come out yet?

In fact, in addition to the demons present, there was one other person who had the same question as Tian Ye—

That was Ruan Qiuqiu, who had been thoroughly tormented.

She had almost lost track of time in this long bonding process.

After Yuan, a certain wolf, finally let her go, Ruan Qiuqiu slept for nearly three days straight.

When she woke up, her whole body was still sore and aching, and she couldn't lift her arms at all.

What made her cry the most was that although her strength had directly soared to the late sixth rank, her body had become more and more sensitive.

Even her skin was more prone to leaving marks. When she first woke up, everywhere she could see was covered with ambiguous marks, and even her fingers were covered with the light teeth marks of a certain wolf.
