Adele’s orange-red eyes were paler than Elena’s scarlet red ones, her silver-gray hair was also not as crystal clear, but she also had cat ears and a tail… furry ears and a tail swaying back and forth.
Of course, Elena didn’t care about who had more charm between the two of them, she was more concerned about the strange thing from her body.
If she wasn’t wrong, there was a faint black and purplish haze over her eyes, there were also several festering wounds hidden under her tattered clothes. Those wounds on her pale skin created a creepy contrast, and why was Adele so unconcerned, it was like the wounds weren’t growing on her own body.
No wonder Elena felt that her thirteenth aunt felt strange, so she was injured… but what is with those injuries?
“It’s not black magic, right…”
Lin Xiao quietly whispered when he saw Elena’s doubts.
That aura looked extremely familiar, he remembered that Snow often used similar black magic, dark black mist with a faint purple aura, and looked creepy. If she was hit with that, it could cause those festering wounds.
“Could there be enemies in the surrounding, black magicians?”
“No, there’s no one in the surroundings.”
“So your aunt escaped here?”
“It doesn’t look like it… it’s like she’s not even aware of her own injuries.” Elena bit her lips, her heart aching.
Adele yawned while smiling at them, completely unconcerned with her wounds. She even scratched herself from time to time and her untrimmed nails would run over the festering wounds, tearing out bits of flesh as fresh blood seeped out, staining her clothes. It hurt just looking at it but she was numbed and continued doing it.
She looked like a beautiful catgirl with a good figure, but her arms and legs were covered in wounds and she kept on scratching herself, Lin Xiao couldn’t even bear to continue looking at it.
“Your aunt wasn’t hiding here to secretly learn black magic and went crazy, right?” Lin Xiao turned and looked at Elena, finally feeling a bit better.
“Impossible… as high-level demons we have our own powers, different from you humans, we wouldn’t bother learning your magic.”
“Uh, really? More like you can’t learn it.”
“Hmph.”
Since none of their guesses were right, there was only one possibility left… actually, they already guessed that it was a possibility, but they didn’t want to admit it.
Adele was affected by black magic.
Elena originally wanted to get closer, catch up with her aunt and inspect those strange wounds, but now she didn’t want to get close. They stood far away and used the limited light to observe Adele.
“Demon King, what’s wrong? Why aren’t you coming closer? Hehe, are you afraid of me?”
“Aunt Adele…”
Elena has always thought highly of herself, she would have normally exploded, but she couldn’t get angry at all. Her frosty expression had already defrosted and was replaced with worry.
“Hehe, why aren’t you saying anything? You’re the only daughter of the previous Demon King, the red-eyed black cat with the purest bloodline… you awakened your nine lives ability at an early age, became the most outstanding one in the younger generation, even us elders couldn’t compare to you, and you even possess the most perfect demon god’s body, tsk tsk, how outstanding!” Adele grinned while speaking eerily nonstop.
“Uh… wait, what’s demon god’s body?” Lin Xiao whispered to Elena.
“W-what does that have to do with you?” Elena was unexpectedly shy and didn’t want to answer.
“Is it some demon secret? Elena, come on, with our relationship, is there any secret you can’t tell me?”
“Shameless, who has a relationship with you?”
“Come on, it’s not like you’ll lose anything.”
“Tsk, pervert… it’s just my usual appearance.” Elena couldn’t beat him and eventually quietly responded.
“Hm? Usual appearance?”
Lin Xiao still didn’t understand, but her thirteenth aunt answered him.
“Hehe, Elena, did you know? We’re all jealous of your demon god’s body.” Adele wasn’t tired anymore and got more and more excited as she spoke, “Ah! The purest blood, the most beautiful silver hair and red yes, your body is amazing, without any imperfections, even humans are bewitched by your body… unlike us, we can’t hide our ears or tail no matter what we do, we can’t hide our identity as demons, and can’t be like you and go be a maid for a human…”
“Hah? What are you saying, you’re misunderstanding! I’m not his maid! This pervert is just, just…”
“Hehe, I get it, I get it! How could you be just his maid? You naive child, you’ve probably already given him everything, right…”
“Ha? What do you mean?”
“Elena, let me ask you, how does a human male taste? Is it good? Does he satisfy you more and make you happier than someone from your own tribe? Heh, even though human males are small and short.”
“… Thirteenth aunt!?”
Elena didn’t understand initially, but when she thought about it, her face went red and she glanced at Lin Xiao. He was actually scratching his head and foolishly smiling with an expression like, ‘Ah no, it’s so embarrassing but I do indeed satisfy Elena’, causing her to stomp on his foot again.
“You two really have a good relationship… hehe, as expected, the pleasures of man and woman are an irresistible temptation… who would have expected the demon king to be conquered by a mere human male, and with such a shameless and perverted method. Heh… Elena, tell me, what did you do with him? Did you try all the different positions? Have you been filled up by him? Are you going to have babies soon? Hehe…” Adele lowered her head and kept laughing. While she was laughing her entire body was trembling and her voice became more bizarre and gave people goosebumps.
Jealousy, contempt, disdain… her words were filled with negative energy that made one palpitate, even Elena was disturbed and couldn’t stay calm.
“Aunt Adele, how can you say that? I haven’t! I haven’t…” Elena trembled with anger and wanted to defend herself, but was interrupted by a stern voice.
“You’re still making excuses? Elena, your chest has grown bigger, do you think I wouldn’t notice? Hehe, that’s probably because he’s been massaging your chest, right… I get it, even though I don’t know what you see in this man, but his existence is why you haven’t come back, right?”
“Eh?”
“You like him and want to be together forever, so you betrayed us. You want to stay in the human world to fool around with him and heartlessly tossed left us in despair… This is what you have done all along, is it not!?”
What?
So everything she has done was seen as a heartless betrayal? How is that possible!?
How could she betray her own people?
“I didn’t! I didn’t leave you behind because of him! I was forced… right, I was forced to! I’ve been thinking of you all this time!”
“Elena, you ***, what are you still making excuses for?”
“Listen to me, I’m your king, how can I betray you guys? They betrayed me! When I reclaim the throne and take care of the traitors, I’ll definitely…”
“Enough! Elena, it doesn’t matter even if you go back! You aren’t worthy to be the Demon King after being bewitched by a human male!”
“What? No! Aunt, listen to me! I, I…” Elena clenched her teeth and trembled.
Elena was hurt by her aunt’s misunderstanding but she couldn’t retort. She clenched her fists and tears streamed down.
“Okay Elena, don’t fight with her anymore.” A gentle voice came at an opportune time.
“Lin Xiao, you pervert, don’t touch me! … This is all your fault! If it wasn’t for you, she wouldn’t misunderstand, and I would have been able to go back, it’s all your fault!”
“Un, it’s my fault.” That voice was still gentle as usual, even when Elena shook his arm away and pounded at his chest, he still calmly took all the blame.
“Bastard! Pervert! Scum!”
“Okay, okay, I’m scum, I’m a pervert, anything you say… but, don’t cry, okay?”
“Tsk… I-I’m not crying!”
“Hehe, okay, you’re not crying, you just got some dust in your eyes, right?”
Lin Xiao pulled Elena’s arms, ignoring her struggling and resistance, pulled her into his arms and embraced her.
It was strange, even though she was just cursed at by her aunt when she leaned into Lin Xiao, she couldn’t help but feel grounded. Her struggling became half willing and half unwilling and her emotions gradually recovered. Although her eyes were still red and she couldn’t immediately stop the tears, but she felt a lot more comfortable.
“Elena, you’ve worked hard enough, believe me.”
In a sincere and natural tone, Lin Xiao embraced the little kitty cat and softly reassured her.
