“You despicable scoundrel, you actually attacked by surprise!!!”
Leona wiped the blood from her nose and stood up, glaring angrily at Chiyang.
“We already said we were going to fight, and yet you kept whining over there. So annoying!”
Chiyang pointed at Leona.
“Anyway, I just finished eating, so I’ll use you to stretch my muscles!!!”
“The spoils of war! That means Joey’s mating rights!!”
Chiyang clenched her fists, her eyes full of fighting spirit.
“Heh… Fine… Suits me just fine!”
Leona also wiped the blood from her face and looked at Chiyang.
“I will take the crown for Lady Veiweiya!”
“Leona… You have to win…”
Veiweiya, standing to the side, also clenched her fists, looking at Leona with determination.
“What are you all getting fired up about… And… If you want to fight, go fight in the Arena… Don’t interrupt my meal.”
Joey grumbled from the side.
“Of course Joey has to be present to witness something like this!”
Chiyang looked at Joey.
“Why do I have to witness the two of you fighting, and even let the winner get my mating rights!!! And I’m eating right now!!!”
“From noon until now, you glutton ate everything on the table! I only took one bite of steak before Veiweiya bumped into me and made me spit it out! Why do I have to watch you two boring people fight!!”
Joey ranted furiously.
“Hmm? An Arena match? How nostalgic…”
Leona completely ignored what Joey had just said, wearing a bright expression.
“Then the Arena it is…”
“Hehe, to obtain his mating rights under Joey’s witness, it must feel so romantic…”
Chiyang smiled as well.
“Am I even still considered the Demon King in your eyes…?”
“Why does it feel like everyone’s brains are like mindless beasts, fighting for mating rights…”
The Protagonist finally took a bite of fried rice and muttered.
“Yue… The fried rice is cold, it tastes awful…”
Joey handed the cold fried rice to Aiki.
“Tell the servants to make another plate…”
“Young Master, wasting food is a shameful act.”
Aiki said coldly from the side.
“Ah… I know, then just heat it up for me…”
The Protagonist clicked his tongue in annoyance.
“Anyway, it takes time to heat the food, so I’ll just watch these two idiots fight…”
“Young Master really does care about who he mates with…”
Aiki nodded.
“Then I’ll order the servants to bring it over later.”
“Why are you playing along with them too…”
Joey glared at Aiki.
***
Half an hour later…
The Arena near the Demon King’s Castle.
The Arena was filled with spectators who had come to watch the match…
Some were Leona’s subordinates, while others were ordinary citizens from around the Demon King’s Castle.
“Why are there so many people here…”
The Protagonist frowned as he looked at the crowd.
“The Demon World really has too little entertainment. Two idiots fighting is enough to keep people watching for half a day…”
Aiki spoke from the side.
“Young Master shouldn’t say that. After all, this is a battle between Cadres, and ordinary people rarely get to see it…”
“Not to mention the ultimate prize is the adorable Demon King’s mating rights—a hot topic indeed…”
“Who started the rumor about mating anyway… I really want to lock her in the dungeon…”
Joey rolled his eyes at Aiki, then looked down at Chiyang and Leona standing in position.
“But it’s fine…”
“I haven’t seen Leona fight in a long time, and I’ve never seen Chiyang’s battle style either…”
“Anyway, just staying at home is boring, so I might as well watch.”
“So that’s how it is…”
Aiki nodded.
“Then, Young Master, which do you prefer to mate with, Chiyang or Lady Veiweiya…?”
“If you tease me about this again, I’ll chop off your head and use it as a ball.”
Joey narrowed his eyes in resignation.
“But speaking of strength, Chiyang is actually very strong, but…”
“In terms of technique, Leona is a step ahead…”
“So that’s how it is…”
Aiki nodded again.
“If Leona wins, maybe she’ll share you with Veiweiya…”
“Young Master always acts so proper, but I didn’t expect you to be so depraved inside. Is one person not enough to satisfy your desires?”
“I’m really going to use your head as a ball…”
The Protagonist glared at Aiki.
Aiki obediently shut her mouth.
***
“Cough, cough…”
Veiweiya, dressed in formal attire, stood at the top of the Arena, holding a round-headed Staff.
She snapped her fingers, and four Giant Pythons appeared at the four corners of the Arena, imitating Veiweiya’s voice like massive loudspeakers.
It was just like those announcers in Joey’s previous life doing sound checks…
Next, Veiweiya summoned a gigantic Giant Eye Monster, a summoning beast with a single twenty-meter eye, which replaced the TV screen and projected live images of Chiyang and Leona’s fight for all to see.
“So that’s why no one in the Demon race pursues science… So many devices can be replaced by magic…”
Joey looked at the massive display and Giant Pythons in front of him, sweating a little.
Aiki shook her head beside him.
“That’s only part of the reason…”
“After all, previous Demon Kings weren’t as considerate of the people as Young Master, only thinking of conquering the world, and there weren’t any proper scientific research teams either.”
“Eh? Hearing praise from your mouth is really unexpected…”
The Protagonist raised his eyebrows at Aiki.
Aiki froze for a moment, then turned to Joey and played dumb.
“Hmm? My mind was a little messy just now. Did I say something weird?”
“Hmph! So dishonest!”
Seeing Aiki refuse to admit it, Joey turned back to watch the match.
Only then did Aiki breathe a sigh of relief in her heart.
A sulking Young Master is also cute…
***
Veiweiya began to host the match.
“Alright, thank you all for waiting! The Arena, which hasn’t opened for a long time, is once again open today.”
“And it’s a battle between Cadre-level demons—something that’s never happened before!!!”
To be honest, Veiweiya’s energetic tone always managed to fire up the entire crowd.
Although she was the former Demon King Heir, due to the frequent changes of Demon Kings, ordinary people didn’t care much about who the Demon King was anymore…
But fun is always fun, so the whole crowd burst into cheers and applause with Veiweiya’s energy.
“Now, let me introduce the participants for this match!”
“One of the four Demon King Cadres, the Lion King Leona, whom everyone knows and loves!!!”
“Uoooooohhh!!!! Lady Leona! We adore you!!!”
Since many of Leona’s subordinates were present, the cheers were deafening.
“On the other side… Her name is Chiyang, a newly appointed Demon King Cadre.”
Even though no one knew her, the ordinary people still cheered in support.
“And the prize for them! Is the supreme, adorable, and charming Demon King—Joey’s mating rights!!!”
At this, the camera turned to Joey’s helpless face.
“Oooooohhhhhhh!!!!! It’s the delightful Demon King!!!”
“So cute!!!!!”
“So lewd! I heard he’s also the only male Demon in the world!!! So this is how they choose a consort here!!!!”
“It’s mating rights!!! That sounds way kinkier than choosing a consort! He’s so cute, and yet such a naughty little thing!! I want him to push me down!!!”
“If only there was a world where men ruled!!!”
