Chapter 51: The Demon Lord Has a Successor
The Demon Lord was married!
Upon hearing Ye Tianshen’s news, everyone was stunned and in disbelief.
Ever since the Demon Lord became their leader, he had never been to close women, let alone show the slightest interest in them.
Now, someone suddenly told them that the Demon Lord was married!
“Is that true, Ye Tianshen?”
Even Yue Qingyou, who was almost always calm and unfazed no matter the situation, couldn’t help asking Ye Tianshen excitedly.
Everyone looked at Ye Tianshen intently, waiting for his answer.
“I would never lie to you, Lady Left Guardian. This was what he told me,” Ye Tianshen replied firmly.
Yue Qingyou fell silent. She covered her mouth emotionally as tears cascaded down her face. “That's great! That's really great! He finally came to his senses and got married! I’m touched beyond words!”
She had been waiting for this for centuries!
The Demon Lord was finally married!
She had been helping the Demon Lord from the very beginning, assisting him in uniting the Demon Realm and wiping out the opposition!
The two of them had attacked the Heavenly Realm and gone through the War of Immortals and Demons. After the war, she had stayed by his side and aided him.
Under the Demon Lord’s leadership, the Demon Realm became unprecedentedly stable and prosperous. Her only wish was to see him marry and bear children so that his family line would continue.
Sadly, the Demon Lord showed no interest in women. Instead, he threw himself into improving the Demon Realm and strengthening himself.
Once, she selected 30,000 beautiful women as the Demon Lord’s harem, but the next day, the Demon Lord drove them out.
The Demon Lord even scolded her.
This made her very distressed.
To the Demon Realm, it was very important that the Demon Lord had a descendent!
Hearing that the Demon Lord was now married, she was overjoyed and moved!
She was so happy that her tears fell like a dam bursting.
The others either wiped tears from the corners of their eyes like Yue Qingyou or smiled with relief.
Ye Tianshen also felt moved and reached his hand out to wipe the tears from his eyes.
Even the people with the coldest personalities felt the same.
They had waited for this day to come for a long time.
If anyone witnessed the sight of the top leaders of the Demon Realm crying in unison, they would be shocked.
These demons, infamous for being vicious in the Demon Realm and killing people without thinking twice, were actually crying.
“Congratulations, Lady Left Guardian!”
“Our Demon Realm finally welcomes a mistress!”
After being emotional for a few moments, everyone cupped their hands and congratulated Yue Qingyou.
As for why everyone congratulated Yue Qingyou when they found out Ning Yechen was married…
Someone had once asked how Yue Qingyou felt about the Demon Lord.
She replied with a genial and adoring look in her eyes, “The Demon Lord is powerful, but he is not as cruel and tyrannical as the previous Demon Lords.
“He is wise, rational, composed, and determined to change the chaos of the Demon Realm. Also, he is patient toward his citizens and loves them!
“I have followed the Demon Lord since I was young and witnessed his ascension step by step. He is the only true Demon Lord in my heart. He is my ruler and my child. I will do anything for him!”
That’s right. This woman treated the Demon Lord as her child.
Then again, she was indeed the only one in the Demon Realm qualified to say this.
Yue Qingyou had a very special status.
She was the left guardian of the Demon Realm and only second to the Demon Lord in terms of status. She managed all affairs of the realm and was also the Demon Lord's maid, taking care of all his needs and daily life.
In addition, she was the only person in the Demon Realm with the courage to raise various suggestions and requests to the Demon Lord and nag him.
Just regarding the Demon Lord’s marriage alone, she had publicly nagged him to find a partner several times.
Whenever he came back late, she would question where he had been.
Sometimes, when the Demon Lord wanted to sleep in, she would forcibly wake him up.
The Demon Lord was also very tolerant of her. She was no different from a mother to him.
That said, she was younger than him…
The Demon Lord's marriage was very important to Yue Qingyou!
After everyone calmed down, Ye Tianshen shared another even more exciting piece of news!
“The Demon Lord is not only married, but he even has a child.”
“He even has a child? Why didn’t you say so sooner? How old is the child? Is it a prince or a princess?” Yue Qingyou grabbed Ye Tianshen’s collar happily, her beautiful eyes filled with joy and excitement.
The others reacted similarly and looked at Ye Tianshen excitedly.
“The Demon Lord said it was a princess. I haven’t seen her, so I don’t know how old she is,” Ye Tianshen replied.
“You good-for-nothing!” Yue Qingyou let go of Ye Tianshen’s collar in disdain.
It was such an important matter, but he did not know!
Without knowing the princess's age, how could Yue Qingyou prepare the right clothes and gifts for her?!
Still, knowing that the Demon Lord had a child, Yue Qingyou was over the moon.
The Demon Lord finally had a successor!
In the future, she might have the chance to assist the princess!
“Quick! Send word that the Demon Realm has a princess! From today onwards, the Demon Realm will hold a grand celebration!” Yue Qingyou instructed everyone.
She had to spread the news that the Demon Realm had a princess!
But Ye Tianshen said, “I disagree.”
“Huh? Why?” Yue Qingyou asked unhappily.
Ye Tianshen’s eyes turned cold, and his expression became grim. He told Yue Qingyou about how his subordinate Ye Zheng had been talked into sending people to attack the Demon Lord and his wife and child!
After everyone heard this, their faces turned icy, and threatening auras instantly spread through the Demon God Palace!
Yue Qingyou’s face was even more frosty. She reached her hand out into the air and squeezed the table into smithereens, including the void around it!
“Well done! Someone actually dares to take action against the Demon Lord's wife and child! Find them! Find the culprit! Once we find them, death will be the easy way out! Ye Tianshen, your subordinate Ye Zheng has disrespected our lord and deserves death. But since the Demon Lord has let it go, then so will we. Remember! There won’t be a next time! That goes for you and your subordinates as well!”
Yue Qingyou’s green eyes glinted coldly as a threatening aura radiated from her, making everyone feel oppressed!
She was completely different from before!
“Yes, I understand!” Ye Tianshen bowed solemnly in response.
He felt guilty and ashamed that his subordinates had disrespected the Demon Lord.
Even if Yue Qingyou killed him now, he would not say anything.
The murderous aura coming from Yue Qingyou finally diminished. She immediately took back the order to announce that the Demon Realm had a princess.
Since they did not know the identity of the culprit, publicizing this might cause trouble for the Demon Lord.
“No one is to know about the princess! Someone dared to take action against his wife and daughter. We can't stand back and do nothing!"
"But the Demon Lord told us not to disturb his life…” someone said weakly with his hand raised.
Yue Qingyou smiled. “I know. No one is to defy the Demon Lord’s orders. As long as we don’t disturb him, I know what to do…”
