As a former boy, Su Qi had once read many comics that boys loved to enjoy.
And among those countless comics, there was one long-running series told from the female protagonist’s perspective that left a lasting impression on Su Qi.
It was a fantasy world of swords and magic, featuring the classic themes of a Demon King and a Hero.
The female protagonist was a delicate, lovely girl who awakened a buff-granting ability triggered by lewd acts.
So to defeat the Demon King, the girl was bullied in all sorts of ways by the “naughty Hero” every single day.
Even during the final battle with the Demon King, the two fused together to fight, putting on quite the spectacle.
Because the story was genuinely absurd and leaned toward comedy, it stood out as a breath of fresh air in the manga world.
Su Qi, who usually only liked short stories, surprisingly finished this one.
But right now, looking at Little Red Pupil who had just eaten breakfast this morning.
Then glancing around the room at the smiling, lovely girls.
At this moment, Su Qi, who could no longer pretend to be asleep, suddenly realized with tears welling up.
How was this current situation unfolding just like the female protagonist of that manga?
Except the target wasn’t a single male Hero, but a bunch of beautiful female Heroes.
And also, Little Red Pupil, you little one, don’t just eat me alone!
There’s nothing left, truly not a single drop left!
Go eat someone else!
Ning ning~ burp
Early in the morning, Little Red Pupil had released a single “Dragon Flame.”
After a full half hour, she had once again replenished her energy to the brim, becoming a round, plump little watermelon.
Perhaps children had a lower threshold, or maybe the meal was just too fragrant and delicious, but the well-fed Little Red Pupil’s adorable little face was brimming with pure happiness.
The little one was happy and satisfied, sure.
But the price, well, was that in the treehouse at this moment.
Su Qi felt like his body had been completely hollowed out.
There was no helping it, Little Red Pupil was simply too voracious. After all, one meal was manageable, but two meals in a single morning gave that distinct feeling of being completely drained!
However, drained or not.
Seeing Little Red Pupil transform into a little watermelon once again, and hearing An Xiaoling’s account of Little Red Pupil bombarding the Demon King’s Castle, Su Qi couldn’t help but feel a surge of excitement.
After all, with the World Tree as a fortress at their backs, they could just keep firing shells at the Demon King’s Castle.
On one hand, it was like the vines described in that manga—enhancing Little Red Pupil’s power.
On the other hand, they could strike the Demon King without taking any damage.
Though life on their side would be a bit harder, and if he kept feeding Little Red Pupil, his Anti-Addiction System would eventually be breached by the beautiful girls at this rate.
But no matter how you looked at it.
Getting a Defeat CG from the beautiful girls was still better than getting a Defeat CG from the Demon King.
Yeah, that’s right.
It… it’s not like I also want to be lewd with the beautiful girls every day!
I’m addicted, that’s not it!!!
Boom boom~
And so, within the World Tree, Little Red Pupil once again brimmed with energy, holding a little watermelon.
Before long,
On the opposite side of the World Tree, in the Demon King’s Castle—a magnificent black fortress where the Demon King resided.
Another violent tremor resounded once more, rubble shattering.
In an instant, countless Pitch Black Beasts scattered in panic once again.
Seated upon the broad throne in the castle, the Demon King, in the form of a robust dark-skinned human male, presided over the main seat, his black-qi-wreathed dragon scales radiating his dominance and power.
In response to the damage from Little Red Pupil’s bombardment of his castle, the Demon King casually raised a hand and cast a barrier, easily deflecting the bits of rubble falling from above.
But looking at the two gaping holes in the castle ceiling above.
At this moment, the Demon King’s mood couldn’t help but grow heavy.
As the former Holy Beast of the Segus World, standing in opposition to the World Tree—the Demon King was aware of certain weaknesses of the World Tree.
For instance, it couldn’t move easily, couldn’t perform miracles in places its roots couldn’t reach, or had extraordinarily strong defenses but was especially vulnerable when bearing World Tree Fruits, and so on. Because he knew these traits of the World Tree, the Demon King, after forging a pact with the Half-Orcs, was able to easily invade most of the World Tree’s territories in the Segus plane, continuously destroying the World Tree’s root systems to expand his domain.
But as for completely defeating the World Tree’s main body, the former Holy Beast knew he didn’t possess that kind of power.
To that end, the Demon King had devised two plans.
One was to wait for the moment the World Tree Fruit ripened and seize it.
As long as he captured the World Tree Fruit and consumed it, his power would increase greatly.
Conversely, the World Tree would become weakened from lacking energy.
If that happened, eliminating the World Tree’s main body could proceed at a faster pace.
If the Segus World no longer had the World Tree, then the various pathways connecting to other planes through the World Tree would open freely.
And the Demon King’s ambition to rule over all living things would naturally be realized.
Aside from the first plan, the Demon King had also planned a second option: finding the person who had previously eaten a World Tree Fruit. Devouring her would likewise absorb a massive amount of energy, and further increase his odds of defeating the World Tree and seizing the World Tree Fruit.
And as luck would have it, at the entrance of the Teleportation Array torn open in the sky.
Although energy was restricted, only allowing beasts below Demon King level to pass through, the Demon King unexpectedly, through his enslaved familiars, first caught the scent of the World Tree, then discovered the holder of the World Tree Fruit—the utterly delicious-looking Su Qi.
And when the Two-headed Dragon vassal, before its death, used the Teleportation Array to send the “World Tree Fruit” to the Segus World.
The Demon King had originally been thrilled.
Because the Pitch Black Two-headed Dragon’s Teleportation Array, due to insufficient energy before death, couldn’t precisely lock the coordinates to the Demon King’s Castle.
But currently, on the continent of the Segus World, apart from the final sanctuary where the World Tree resided, virtually all territory belonged to the Demon King.
Almost anywhere Su Qi landed on this plane, other than the World Tree, would be walking right into a trap.
But now, through his vassal’s vision, watching the crowd of cheering elves hidden among the World Tree’s vines, and at the very center of the elves, Su Qi holding Su Xixi in one arm and Little Red Pupil in the other.
Looking at Su Qi’s beautiful face, tinged with a few traces hauntingly familiar to the “Elf Priestess,”
Sensing the Dragon Clan aura radiating from Little Red Pupil,
Feeling the trace of Teleportation energy in the “necklace” hanging around Su Xixi the little bunny,
With just a single glance, the Demon King realized that perhaps all of this was another scheme orchestrated by that “person”! Realizing that everything now was developing in the most unfavorable direction for him.
Or rather, he had been deliberately set up.
Crack~
Due to his fury,
The very next second,
The pure gold armrest of the Demon King’s throne was forcibly crushed and deformed by his massive hand.
Then, from the Demon King’s dark-skinned nostrils, a puff of white steam blasted out in rage.
The countless Pitch Black Beasts and Half-Orcs in the hall, feeling the Dragon Prestige.
In an instant, they all lowered their heads, silent as crickets.
But at that moment,
Swoosh swoosh swoosh~
Following the holes appearing in the Demon King’s Castle roof,
One after another, precise Elven Arrows came flying directly through the gaps and into the castle.
Watching the Elven Arrows that previously had “insufficient range” now reaching this far.
At this moment, the Demon King grew even more irritated.
All of this was clearly connected to the “World Tree Fruit”—no, judging by appearance, it must be related to that mother-daughter pair.
Thinking of all this, the Demon King gritted his teeth and spoke.
“Once I get my hands on you, I’ll make you pay!!!”
