Crossing the Other World: Slave Loli will not be covered by the veil

three days later.

That day Ye Xi stood on the balcony of the high tower and looked at the dark sky.

She gradually discovered that this area of the Demon King's Castle seemed to have always been in darkness, without any rays of sunlight.

And it would rain and even thunder every once in a while.

The monsters living under the Demon King's castle didn't care too much about this, as if they had become accustomed to it.

Charles came here silently and met Ye Xi.

"You seem to like it here very much?" Ye Xi said coldly with his back to Xia Er.

"Ah, how did you know that?"

"No, I just told you to go and heal Beelzebub. Why are you taking care of her instead?"

Ciel scratched his head slightly embarrassedly when he heard that.

"Well... actually, she's quite pitiful. Because of that game, her subordinates have begun to dislike this demon king?"

"disgust?"

Ye Xi suddenly felt confused and turned to face Xia Er.

"That's right. They no longer want to admire Beelzebub. They all think she is a liar."

"Although she possesses absolute strength and can compel some monsters to submit, she believes that conquering the weak through force will not only fail to gain recognition, but will actually increase her sense of guilt."

"She's played this game with other races in the past, but Beelzebub always won."

"But later, as you know, you exposed her deception to all the monsters that had competed with her. After they found out, they all became restless and resolutely left Beelzebub."

"A demon king who has lost the recognition of all his servants will find his supreme throne shaky. Having lost her identity, she no longer has anything to sustain her life."

Charles felt very sympathetic towards Beelzebub's outcome and even felt compassion for him.

But Ye Xi acted as if he didn't care.

"She deserved it. It was her fault for cheating in the first place. Why is she giving up on herself? She deserves it."

"That being said, what about those monsters without a 'king'? Who will lead them?"

"What does that have to do with me? Without the 'king', the shackles binding them are also removed. They can also stand on their own feet and continue to live as demons."

Ye Xi raised his head slightly, staring blankly at the sky where light rain was beginning to fall.

She didn't seem to take it to heart, and repeatedly believed that this was the result of Beelzebub's constant tendency to take shortcuts.

Now she couldn't accept it anymore and even began to think about committing suicide. The devil was just like that, insidious, cunning, and hypocritical.

"What's the matter with you calling me here?" Charles asked.

"Well, I've been circling around the Demon King's Castle for the past three days. Everything is fine. There are goblin tribes all around."

"Then I went back to Death Valley and the strange forest where I came from."

"No wonder I didn't see you. Did you find anything?"

Ye Xi nodded, then took out a notebook and pencil from his pocket.

“It may be a bit shocking to say this, but when I went back to Death Valley, I found a campsite in a deserted area.”

"Camp?"

"Yes, I can tell that it's a human camp. The Demon King's Castle is about to change."

Xia was immediately shocked. Death Valley was about ten kilometers away from the Demon King's City. Standing on a high place, one could see most of the area of the Demon King's City.

There are currently two possibilities for this suddenly appearing human camp.

One possibility is an expeditionary force, but they may only stay for a while and then leave.

The second is the Demon Killing Army. In addition to the Death Valley, they may continue to advance at night and set up a small camp near the Demon King's City.

"This is bad! If this is a human demon-slayer army, they're probably heading for the Demon King!"

The demon-slaying army must include exceptionally powerful swordsmen and warriors, and perhaps even knights or mages.

However, to deal with a target with a higher risk index like the Demon King, people with high status are always sent.

In addition, this is the Demon King's Castle, and they may have the possibility of attacking with their entire army, intending to slaughter all the monsters and the Demon King.

"Don't panic, we can just stand by and watch. Their target is the Demon King, what does it have to do with us?"

"Then you are too heartless!"

"What's wrong with me being ruthless? If you hadn't insisted on coming back here, would things have developed to this point?"

"You wanted to come back to atone for your unfinished mission, and then you started blaming me after I defeated the Demon King?"

Xia was speechless, after all, what Ye Xi said was the truth.

If he had left the hostages behind and fled far away with Ye Xi, not only would he have been able to find a safe place to live, but Beelzebub would not have become this half-human, half-ghost appearance.

"We don't care about this matter. We'll continue our journey tomorrow. That's a deal."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Xi passed by Xia Er, his expression calm and peaceful, truly ruthless.

"But according to the rules of the Demon King Duel, since you won, Ye Xi, you will become the next Demon King of Gluttony."

Upon hearing this, Ye Xi immediately stopped.

"What do you mean?"

"It's literal, Ye Xi."

"They all witnessed you exposing Beelzebub's cheating at the dinner table. You are the winner, and you have earned the right to rule the Demon King's Castle."

Ye Xi suddenly felt a chill on his back. The meaning of this sentence was not difficult to understand. Whoever defeated the Demon King would become the next Demon King.

It is equivalent to a young demon-slayer eventually becoming a demon. The demons are a group after all. Without a king to guide them, they will definitely recognize the strongest person as their king first.

Imagine that Ye Xi became the Demon King. That would mean she had the entire demon army and the entire Demon King City all hers, and Beelzebub would become her captive, being completely trampled under his feet with no chance of turning things around.

"No! I can't become the Demon King!" Ye Xi instantly got close to Charles and shouted.

"How could my journey end here? It hasn't even begun yet, and it ends for no reason?"

Xia Er didn't expect Ye Xi's reaction to be so strong that she even started to blush.

He grabbed Charles' sleeve and shook him violently.

"Yes...yeah, how could it possibly end like this?"

A few drops of sweat ran down Charles's face. He scratched his forehead and smiled awkwardly.

"Why didn't you tell me earlier that there was such a broken rule? Isn't this just making excuses?!"

"No, I won't agree to this no matter what you say."

"I would rather bear the word 'evil' on my face for the rest of my life than become a demon king. What's the difference between that and inheritance?"

"I'm not her child!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Xi walked towards Beelzebub's room angrily.

Ciel followed closely behind, still maintaining a sad smile.

"To maintain your position, I can only help you so far."

Hours earlier in Beelzebub's room.

When Beelzebub woke up from her coma, she saw Ciel cleaning her wounds.

Fortunately, Ye Xi did not kill him, but the blood-red whip marks were really shocking.

Although it was just a small punishment for Beelzebub, Ciel could empathize with it.

She will never forget the pain and despair of lingering on the brink of death. She has no desire to live, but she cannot die with her eyes closed.

But Charles had learned some magic, and with just a little magic power, the wound would heal as before.

"I have nothing left, why did you save me?"

From that moment on, there was an extremely deep emptiness in Beelzebub's eyes. She had lost everything and sat quietly by the bed, with the world in her heart filled with only gray.

"Don't get me wrong, I just don't want you to die in a horrible way."

"And I never thought of saving you. It was Ye Xi who didn't kill you, so you were lucky enough to survive."

"So, about those hostages..."

"I released them all long ago. Not a single one is left."

Charles was slightly stunned, even feeling unbelievable.

This also corresponds to why she always avoided this question before, but Charles could only half believe and half doubt this sudden answer.

But it was not until she personally went to the cage that imprisoned the living creature to check it out that she discovered that it was not a cage at all.

Instead, it was a place that looked like an entertainment venue, just an open-air area surrounded by many iron bars, just behind the high tower.

All the "captured" creatures would be placed here, provided with food and shelter, and many races would gather together. For some unknown reason, they were all released by Beelzebub in the end.

"So is there anything else you want to do? Like eat something delicious, have some fun, or..."

Beelzebub shook his head and said, "If possible, I would like to continue to be the Demon King."
