The Demon Emperor was Saint Emperor

Chapter 199: I Offer My Blood for a New Heaven

"I think, well, what’s the big deal? It’s all just sleeping. What’s wrong with an extra person?"

Though Sloth Demon King Hill Cape arrived quickly, she clearly hadn’t had enough sleep. She was yawning as she spoke, and her words were ignored by all the other demons, viewed as completely worthless.

She’s an incorrigible lazybones. If it weren’t for her six sisters supporting her, she probably wouldn’t even think of changing the world. Her ideal life is to eat well, drink well, and sleep well. As long as she can meet these three conditions, she wouldn’t care even if the sky falls.

"We don’t have much time. News about the New Demon Emperor’s accession has spread. Demons from other worlds must have caught wind of it by now. Even if the Destruction Demon God’s family is far from the Demon Realm, they will certainly send powerful warriors back at the first sign of news. If we can’t welcome Lynn back in the next few days, we might be caught and impeached for the crime of deceiving the entire race. At that point, it might be hard to keep the Demon King position."

At critical times, they still had to rely on Ilya. No matter what grievances the sisters had against her, when it came to serious matters, they had to listen intently. It wasn’t just about the individual demons; it concerned the grand plan of the Guardian Demon God and carried their own dreams and ambitions.

They didn’t crave the Demon King position, but without it, everything would be empty. They wouldn’t just fail the Guardian Demon God’s heavy responsibility, but also let their own dreams fade away.

"They don’t know Lynn was brought here by us, so how can they convict us?"

Hearing what the leader said, the Envious Demon King reflexively retorted.

"Ha, the New Demon Emperor appeared in the Proud Demon King’s bedchamber, and is also the Guardian Demon God’s divine envoy. Even if they don’t know anything, we can’t completely dissociate ourselves from it."

Greed Demon King glared at her green-haired sister. Just typical of an envious demon to be foolish; only she and little Betty would come up with such questions.

"Well, isn’t it still the leader’s fault...?"

This time, the Envious Demon King only managed to get half her sentence out before withdrawing it, as she saw the shadow of the Furious Demon King in the leader’s eyes.

"I called you here to discuss a plan, not to find a scapegoat! This is my fault, and if a sacrifice is ever truly needed in the future, I’ll take ten trials for each of you. Let’s not bring this up again!"

When Ilya spoke, it was a solemn vow. As a leader, she needed to have the aura of a leader, but also the responsibility.

It’s just being the main culprit, right? If guilty, take the punishment. Ilya Murphy is definitely not the kind of demon to shirk responsibility.

"I think you just want to hog the food, become Empress..."

The big loli counted on her fingers and, excluding herself, the leader would need to have sex with the Demon Emperor sixty times just to cover for them. Based on the principle of "time creates affection" taught by her Lust sister, by then she’d be the strongest contender for the Demon Realm Empress. She truly lived up to being the leader, with such well-laid plans!

"Betty, what are you mumbling about?"

Clever little Betty, of course, wouldn’t say such a thing in front of all the sisters, so it was just a murmur. Unexpectedly, some remnants were picked up by the sharp-eared leader.

"N-nothing, I’m just saying I’m willing to join in on the conditions to win back the Demon Emperor. If we can coax the Demon Emperor back, count me in, just count me in. Anyway, I think he must taste pretty good..."

The big loli obediently sat in her chair and raised her little hand, indicating her willingness to comply. As long as they could lure Lynn back, she was even willing to taste the Demon Emperor.

"I have no objections; count me in. Okay, can I sleep a bit now?"

Sloth Demon King rubbed her sleepy eyes and slumped onto the table the moment she finished speaking. If no demon disturbed her, she could fall asleep in just three seconds.

"Sleep after the meeting! I’ll state my stance too. You can send me out. Anyway, with my quick temper, I probably won’t find a match, so it’s good if someone wants to take me. Particularly since he’s so strong, I can vent my anger and roughhouse without hurting anyone. Sounds kind of nice."

The Furious Demon King said, lifting the Sloth Demon King’s collar to prevent her from sleeping now. But the latter deftly wriggled out of her clothes, lay on the table in just her undergarments, and fell asleep.

The other Demon Kings didn’t bother her, seeing this. She was quite easy to talk to when awake, but if disturbed from her sleep, her mood would be even scarier than the Furious Demon King’s...

"Lynn... that Demon Emperor is incredibly strong, and according to Betty, also exceptionally handsome with an impressive physique. Why should such a good man be owned by only you all? Whatever you have, I must have too! Count me in!"

The Envious Demon King could compromise on anything else, but couldn’t stand to see other demons better off than her. At her level, she couldn’t compare with all demons, but her close sisters were definitely her benchmark.

So, she naturally objectified Lynn and abruptly realized she couldn’t let them have such a good man all to themselves; she had to have a piece too.

"Sigh... I’ve said it already, a greedy sex wolf must be completely satisfied at once, give him a taste of what it’s like to be overwhelmed by wolves. He’ll be easily satisfied that way. But no, you all insisted on holding back, now look where it got you, in a mess. What can I do? I’ll help you clean up, count me in too... By the way, isn’t he a top-notch mogul from Miracle World? Must be incredibly wealthy!"

Following the other sisters’ declarations, the Greed Demon King sighed while speaking, but ended with a twist, her beautiful eyes unconsciously turning into the shape of gold coins.

"You all..."

Watching her summoned sisters declare one by one, Ilya was dumbfounded and speechless for a long time.

Wasn’t this supposed to be a strategy session? Where’s the discussion or the strategy?

Each one came in and immediately raised a leg to surrender, willing to sacrifice themselves to bring Lynn back. Isn’t this pure aimlessness?

After all that, it still circled back to Phantom. If I had known this, I would have consulted Phantom alone back then; perhaps Lynn wouldn’t have escaped.

"If... it has to be like this, if it’s necessary, then let me be the sacrifice. I can’t drag all you demons down. You all have great dreams and need to contribute to the Guardian Demon God’s grand plan. I can’t let this stop us. Sacrifice me to secure a bright future for you and the entire Demon Realm!"

Lust Demon King Phantom, after listening for so long, finally made up her mind. If change necessitated sacrifice, then why shouldn’t it be her?

Her sisters had treated her well. She couldn’t let them all suffer because of her.

Sacrifice then, sacrifice as it might be. From ancient times, who in demon life hasn’t faced death? I trade my blood for a new world!

With those words, the five leading Demon Kings looked at each other, then extended their hands together...
