I'm a fox girl, I took over the job of the Night Demon Queen

"Then I'll leave Philomena in your care."

Back to the original question, which one to save first if the mother-in-law and wife fall into the water at the same time, Jiang Lan’s choice is of course to save his wife first.

A look of confusion flashed across Jiang Lan's face, and she was about to leave, but after taking two steps she stopped again.

"Why are you helping us?"

It was just an ordinary guard job, and Isaiah's Saint-level strength was completely sufficient. The reason why he was hesitant was because Jiang Lan did not trust Isaiah.

Even though Lixia and Lilith have a past relationship and seemed to have a good relationship based on their meeting that day, they are ultimately in different positions. One is a foresight sage who has helped humans win countless wars and a member of a team of brave men, while the other is a princess of the demon clan. Jiang Lan really couldn't think of why she would help.

"Teacher had foreseen today's situation and told me to return... before she died, I care more about my identity as a teacher and disciple than my position. I can abandon all righteousness in front of this. Moreover, Lilith has become the real demon king. Even if I harm Philomena here, it will not help the situation."

"After the zombie incident, I also clearly knew that Liz was the goddess of light, and you are an existence beyond the human world just like her."

Only when you are so strong would she not dare to touch your Jiang Lan's hair. Isaiah thought she had made this meaning clear.

"Well, if I take action, the war will end in an instant. I hope you can remember this."

After all, second-priority matters are not as important as first-priority matters. Philomena always stepped back in front of Lilith no matter how important it was. Finally, she warned Jiang Lan to leave immediately.

She thought she could trust Isaiah for a moment, but she overlooked a crucial detail.

It was clearly her brave companions who wanted to attack Lilith, but Isaiah never pleaded with Jiang Lan for them, as if their lives and deaths were unimportant.

The assassination attempt by the anti-royal faction collided with the assassination attempt by the human side. The twelve sharpest knives of mankind faced Lilith's solid "shield". They had the same goal, but due to a strange combination of circumstances, they had to fight to the death. It was really fate's trick.

The battle at the holy level would naturally not be silent. The violent explosions and energy fluctuations alarmed the strong men in the entire Demon King City, and they all rushed towards the direction of the palace regardless of their camps.

The assassination came first and the army followed behind. Such a major event must have been carefully planned. The brave side also had channels to transmit information. Knowing that they were teleported to the worst Jedi and encountered an ambush, the human side could not sit idly by. There were twelve holy ranks. If they were all here, humans would not have to resist anymore.

In order to provide support and also to prepare for a decisive battle tonight, the army that had been deployed on the border early on attacked the city in one fell swoop, and launched a surprise attack while all the high-end combat forces of the Demon King's City were attracted to the palace. The Demon King's army was caught off guard in their haste, and broke through the city gate and headed for the palace in just half an hour.

This was the scene Jiang Lan saw when she flew into the Demon King's City at full speed. She would never have thought that the human side, which had the advantage, still had twelve saints trapped in the palace, their lives or deaths unknown. All she could think of was that Lilith's situation must be extremely dangerous, so she rushed towards the palace at full speed regardless of the loss.

Sparks and lightning flew all the way. Jiang Lan was so anxious that she didn't care whether they were humans or demons. She would just rush past anything that stood in her way. People who were hit only felt a beam of light passing through them and flew into the sky.

Rushing to the main hall of the Demon King's Palace in such a high-profile manner, he encountered a group of human heroes and anti-imperial assassins fighting each other.

Suddenly, a fox girl of unknown identity appeared in the stalemate battle. Everyone stopped fighting tacitly. For a moment, a delicate balance was formed on the scene. No matter whether it was the heroes or the demons, they did not dare to breathe and were extremely tense.

Only Jiang Lan breathed a sigh of relief.

"You're all here, that makes things easier."

Jiang Lan rolled up his sleeves and smiled. No matter which side they were on, they would be defeated, so that Lilith would not be in danger.

--------

Back to the original question, if the mother-in-law and wife fall into the water at the same time, which one should you save first? This is a life-threatening question.

The reason why a fatal question is called a fatal question is because it contains a deadlock that cannot be broken.

In the delivery room, Isaiah was holding three newly born girls, smiling, but Philomena just felt cold.

Jiang Lan chose to save Lilith, but she had no idea that—

Without the mother-in-law, the wife is gone too.

#It can be regarded as a small foreshadowing that can be connected to the fourth chapter, the theme of falling into the water and dying, but think about it, there is not much connection 23333#

ps: There are still nearly 20,000 words left before I can finish the full text. I will have a good sleep tonight and will start working hard in the next two days.

The water is already boiling

Emmmm, I was still thinking about getting full attendance yesterday, but today I can't code at all. There were some problems with the plot, and I can't think of how to straighten it out. Also, my brain is so confused that I don't want to code, so I'll postpone it today.

It's almost over, so I should slow down a bit. I really don't have any inspiration.

254. Routines and Anti-routines

"Mother-in-law, this is the gift money. You can go first. Thank you very much."

In the delivery room, the midwife had already placed the three newborn babies in a cradle engraved with ancient patterns. Just as she was about to say congratulations, Isaiah had already given them money. Although she felt something was wrong, she didn't say anything and just did as she was told.

There's no way ~ Isaiah really gave too much.

Watching her push the door open, Isaiah turned his gaze back to the cradle and carefully examined the newborn lives. The patterns on the Mosuo cradle on his palm gave him a strange and mysterious feeling.

Is this the devil's child? Even the cradle where he was born holds a secret.

"A pretty good-looking kid."

This is a compliment. How can you tell whether a newborn baby is good-looking or not? It all depends on his parents.

Not only do the babies have little hair, they can't even open their eyes and their pupil color can't be clearly seen.

Unable to tell which one was Lilith, Isaiah shook his head and held all three little ones in his arms.

"...Where is Jiang Lan?" Philomena asked with a pale face while lying on the bed.

"I just ran into a group of heroes trying to assassinate Lilith, so I rushed over to save her. They should have arrived by now and are cleaning up those unlucky guys."

Philomena pursed her lips slightly, as if it was due to postpartum pain, but Isaiah knew it was not the case.

"He was only worried about Lilith. The fox wasn't worried about you at all."

"Mingming, this is the place you should protect the most."

"I think she should have warned you that you wouldn't do anything stupid like that. She's not like Liz who will be sent back to the demon world."

With three little ones in hand, Philomena, who had just given birth, was at her weakest. Isaiah just smiled in the face of her weak threats.

"You are not surprised at all when I said that your priority is higher than Lily. So the goddess should have told you that Lilith is likely your daughter. And you should also know that my master is the one who traveled through time and came back here with her."

Lilith's abnormal attitude and behavior towards Jiang Lan, as well as the extra half of the divine power that had blocked the brave man's attack that year, were enough for Lilith to guess Lilith's identity. Similarly, Lixia could also guess that Lilith had guessed this.

After a pause, Philomena sighed.

"My mind has become dull after I gave birth to a child."

If it were any other time, she would have thought of pretending to be stupid at this moment.

"So what is your choice? Let me and my child go. Lilith only cares about Jiang Lan and has no desire for the throne. I will withdraw my troops immediately after I take over, and Jiang Lan will also help you quell the rebellion. As long as you don't attack the children, I can accept the alliance now."

"That's not necessary. Everything will be solved if I kill you."

Isaiah rejected Philomena's temptation outright. She had much more information than Liz and the others who were just guessing, and she had spent more time thinking about it, so she knew what to do.

Now she is just putting the last piece of the puzzle together.

"Aren't you afraid of Jiang Lan's revenge?"

"She doesn't have that ability. You can't scare me. Liz is no longer in the human world. The rule that the strength increases with the number of gods is no longer applicable. If Jiang Lan continues to use her power, she will only become weaker and weaker. In the end, she will only be at the level of a demon king, or a little bit stronger than the demon king. At that time, even if she is strong, she will not be invincible. She may not even be able to settle accounts with me and will die directly."

It was not only Lixia who wrote history, but also Isaiah, her disciple and teacher. She was the only human who survived the final battle. In the book, she clearly recorded the end of Jiang Lan after that battle.

She was indeed dead, but she escaped the fate of death in some extraordinary way. Isaiah didn't know what it was.

But she knew very well how to achieve that outcome.

"And she may not come to pick a fight with me at that time. You know, she doesn't know Lilith's identity, but she is very clear about the split between the two factions in the demon world. Imagine that when she reaches Lilith, she finds that she has been swallowed up by the rules without even a trace of residue, and all the heroes are blocked on the periphery by the demon king's army. Who will she think did all this?"

In that situation, the only ones who could do it and think of it are the anti-emperor demons.

"This is the way my teacher taught me to break the impasse. As long as I kill you and your daughter here, the alliance army won't be wiped out. Someone in the brave team might even survive, and we can win the final victory with minimal damage. The price we pay is only the life of the demon princess and her evildoer. Isn't it a good deal?"

"Do we have to attack the woman and her child who just gave birth?"

“This is for the lives of the majority.”

As she spoke all this, there was no confusion in Isaiah's eyes; she had already known the sin she would bear.

"Okay, is there anything else you want to say? Maybe there's a wish I can fulfill for you."

"My wish is that the children survive."

"That won't do." Isaiah laughed, laughing at Philomena's naivety.

Then Philomena laughed along.

"Although it may not be very good for a demon king like me to say this, but do you know a sentence?"

"what?"

"Villains die from talking too much!"

The moment he finished speaking, Isaiah clearly felt his arms suddenly lighten, and when he came to his senses, the cradle had appeared in Philomena's arms.

"In order to deal with this situation, I have a backup plan in advance."

Philomena felt a little relieved that her child was finally back in her hands.

It was a wise choice not to give too much energy to the children during childbirth. I just don’t know what kind of sequelae this excessive lack of maternal love energy will cause to them in the future.

Although she wanted to be with and caress her daughters, the current situation did not give Philomena much breathing space. No matter how much she tried to preserve her strength, she was still weak and could not defeat Isaiah, the saintly sage.

so......

"Forbidden Purgatory Flame Killing Formation!"

With the delivery bed as the center, strange patterns appeared, and Isaiah was immediately enveloped by a dangerous aura. It was most terrifying when a woman was protecting her calf. Isaiah was afraid that Philomena would fight for her life, so he had no choice but to retreat first and slowly waste his strength. Philomena would definitely not be her opponent.

However, the next moment, Philomena disappeared without a trace with a mocking smile, leaving only her complacent words echoing in the air.

"Fool."

"Sure enough, bluffing. I remember Haskell also used this trick. Are all the people in the demon world like this?"

Unlike Philomena who was sweating in this battle of wits and courage, Isaiah, who let the hostage escape, looked unusually relaxed.

She raised the corners of her lips and whispered softly.

"Now all the actors are on stage."

#菲洛米娜: It was a wise choice not to give too much energy to the children during childbirth. I just don’t know what kind of sequelae this excessive lack of maternal love energy will cause to them in the future.

ps: Looking back at April, I just wanted to update more but ended up with nothing but mumbled daily routine. It really is Your Lie April (I’m so disgusted).

The water seems to be boiling again.
