Chapter 267: The Never-Ending Hunger of the Demon King

"Wait, don’t roll around like that!"

Suyu quickly stopped him, but seeing Rin’s pure excitement and joy made her heart feel sweet and happy.

The earlier feelings of sadness and anger seemed to fade away.

They say the higher the magic power, the harder it is to have children. Moreover, the Lucifer bloodline has a strong rejection, completely different from the husky traits of a succubus, which has always led to few children.

Some simply use their own blood, flesh, and soul to create an heir. For example, her mother created life in a very complex and difficult way, then placed the embryo into her body.

However, it is also because of the noble bloodline that she had the talent to inherit the title of Demon King when she awoke. After her mother vanished from this world, she directly ascended to become the Demon King.

Even though Samuel successfully took the throne and is called the Demon King, he still carries the title of "provisional" in his rank.

This means that unless Suyu is stripped of her Demon King rank by the world’s laws or dies, Samuel will always remain a provisional Demon King.

Even if he has more experience and stronger magic…

Well, regarding that last point, she has now broken through the 90 barrier, and once she fully recovers her magic, she should be equally matched.

To get to the point, she, Suyu, has her own heir now, and they are luckier than any previous generation!

This is a big event for the clan!

Being able to hit the mark every time shows the unique bond between her and her junior that cannot be compared to anyone else!

The Lord of the Demon King felt happier and happier. She had already made plans that when she returned to the throne, she would proudly bring her younger partner over to be her prince, and the three of them would live happily together.

Mother, you would never have guessed that your daughter, at the young age of one hundred fifty-six, already has an heir.

Suyu had been a bit worried before, but she hadn’t thought about it too much.

Somehow, seeing Rin so happy and excited made her worries fade away.

After all, she was not facing everything alone anymore.

Suyu momentarily forgot that she had three rivals. She squinted her eyes and nestled in Rin’s arms, listening to him talk about how to raise a child in the future.

Rin himself didn’t even know what he was saying. He spoke a lot when he got excited, but eventually he began to calm down.

Once he regained his senses, he regretted not buying more baby supplies during his shopping trip when he thought the waste hero had a daughter.

As for the baby items in his hands, including the Blue Gemini gem, those were meant to be kept for the waste hero’s future child.

The palm and the back of the hand are both flesh, a bowl of water can be held level, how could one possibly do something like giving flowers to Buddha?

Thinking of this, Rin looked a bit guilty and said to Suyu, "It was so sudden that I didn’t prepare a small gift for it, but once I finish my tasks, I will choose one carefully."

Suyu couldn’t help but chuckle, "What are you thinking, junior? It has only been a few days. If we were human, we wouldn’t even know there was a baby in the belly yet. Besides, our kind has a long pregnancy, lasting two and a half years."

Rin was stunned, "Two and a half years?! That long!"

Suyu gently patted his head, "The bloodline of the Demon King is not the same as an ordinary person’s. Little hamster, you can’t be so impatient, right?"

Rin’s expression changed, but in the end, his joy and anticipation far exceeded the anxiety of being disappointed.

"It’s okay, I can wait."

As he spoke, he couldn’t help but reach toward Suyu’s belly, but the Demon King swatted his hand away, glared at him, and said two words.

"Disrespectful."

After finishing her words, she stretched, stood up, and wrapped her body with her wings. By the time she folded her wings away, she was already dressed.

Moreover, she no longer wanted to hide behind ordinary disguises; she showed Rin her true appearance.

"It looks like your magic has recovered about 30 to 40 percent. It seems you still need to work hard to level up; this should help you recover faster, right?"

The fox turned to look at Rin, her eyes filled with a mix of confusion and hope.

It was like being unhappy with the current power bank’s speed, wishing to improve the technology and update it sooner.

Rin’s face suddenly darkened as he stood up in frustration, putting on his clothes and saying, "You’re already level 90! With such a high magic limit, recovering 30 to 40 percent is already impressive! Just tell me what magical potion can make you recover this fast and find one for me!"

Watching her junior suddenly full of competitive spirit at this moment, Suyu thought to herself how cute he was, though she kept a straight face on the outside.

"I’m hungry."

Rin opened his Interspatial Ring, pulled out some cooked food, and tossed it into Suyu’s arms while stubbornly saying, "Hurry up and find one for me!"

Suyu glanced at the pork in the paper bag, suddenly turned her head, covered the side of her face with her hand, and let out a sad whimper.

"I gave him children, and he doesn’t even care. He picks on little things, and what’s worse is that he throws away things from the store that might be dirty and had been there for days, treating me like a stray cat or dog."

Goodness! The Green Tea Demon King has started acting again!

Rin immediately frowned and gritted his teeth, "It’s clean! The food I give the poor Sword Saint and Waste Hero is the same!"

Suyu still looked weak and pitiful, sadly saying, "So, are you saying that what you throw away is just for the tired wife at home? I feel so sorry for myself, boo hoo."

Rin’s blood pressure rose quickly, "Why are you talking about being so pitiful? You’re getting too into your role, black fox!"

"Not only leftover food, but it’s also cold, sob sob."

"Okay! I’ll warm it up for you."

Rin grabbed the paper bag from her hand, ready to heat it up, but he heard Suyu’s sad voice again beside him.

"I really want to eat the meal made by my junior, and the baby in my belly says it wants to eat too."

"That sounds good!"

When Rin heard the second half of the sentence, he immediately looked happy, but then he thought about it and showed a face of disgust.

"What nonsense! How could a little child speak after just a few days? If you want to eat, just say it. I am always generous."

Suyu then turned her sadness into joy, changing her expression so quickly that even the villain couldn’t keep up.

"You’re such a good junior! I want to eat the tomahawk steak, fried shrimp cakes, and also sweet and sour pork. Can it be a little sour, my dear?"

The Demon King acted cute; how could a small villain boss resist that?

Rin pretended to be disgusted and impatient, complaining, "You always ask for so much," but his hand was already on the ring.

After searching in the area for ingredients, he raised his chin and said, "There is no tomahawk steak; how about a beef short rib? As for shrimp, I caught quite a few while wandering around Waste Hero’s hometown. We don’t have pineapple, so let’s just make regular sweet and sour spare ribs."

Suyu waved her hand and said, "It’s fine, as long as it’s made by you, I like it all."

"You just like to take what I want to eat, right?"

Rin rolled his eyes at her. Just as he was about to take out the camping pots, he suddenly remembered something and glanced at the small house not far away.

"The waste hero’s nose is always very keen. She will definitely wake up if she smells food. Why not just call her to eat with us?"

This was not just empty talk; the best way to wake Emilia was with food, whether she liked it or not, it always worked.

If she was in a deep sleep, there was no way to wake her up; only the earlier method would work.

Suyu’s earlier calls weren’t quiet at all, and yet they didn’t wake her up.

Suyu’s smile faded a bit, and her purple eyes looked a little dangerous, "What are you thinking, junior? It’s clearly our private time, why do you want to add someone else? And someone who is my rival?"

Rin scratched his head and awkwardly said, "I just said it like that…"

"But you’re right, we really can’t let that hungry ghost reborn hero get involved."

Suyu casually opened a barrier, covering an area about ten meters around them.

Seeing Rin’s slight change in expression, she explained, "Don’t worry, this is a magic-free zone; it won’t attract them, and it also blocks sound and smell."

Rin thought to himself, no wonder she is the all-powerful Demon King; she has endless magical skills for all kinds of environments and situations.

Reading the younger student’s compliments, the Lord of the Demon King felt happy, brought out a lounge chair, adjusted the light of the magic lamp a bit brighter, and took out a book to read with great enjoyment.

Occasionally, she would look up at the busy Rin, and a gentle warmth would fill her heart.

Rin took out fresh bone-in short ribs, washed them with some drinking water, brushed on a layer of his homemade marinade, and set them aside to marinate.

Next, he started to prepare the shrimp, cleaned and chopped them into a paste, added salt and pepper, cracked an egg, mixed it well, and formed patties to fry in oil, filling the air with a tempting aroma.

After plating the crispy on the outside and tender on the inside shrimp cakes and serving them to Suyu, Rin began to prepare the next dish.

If the barrier weren’t so large, the smell of the greasy smoke could choke a person, so how could anyone appreciate the warmth of the fire?

The cook naturally felt uncomfortable from the smoke, but those who ate praised the food.

Suyu quickly finished four shrimp cakes the size of burger patties, eagerly staring at the pot where the bone soup was simmering, glancing at the cowboy ribs just placed on the grill, swallowing hard, and trying to focus on her book.

The last time she tasted Rin’s cooking was during their joint hunting competition qualifiers.

Although she was surprised by Rin’s grilling skills, it always consisted of the same few simple dishes, and with a lack of salt and sauce, even a great cook struggles without proper ingredients; the maximum score was only seventy, and after a few meals, it felt less special.

But this time, the Lord of the Demon King could fairly give a high score of 99, deducting one point for the slow service.

The dish was beautiful, aromatic, and flavorful; it was hard to imagine that a noble child who was accustomed to a life of luxury could possess such skills.

It looked as if someone had immersed themselves in cooking for three to five years and had the talent of a seasoned chef.

Of course, not many people knew about Rin’s talent.

The parents at home naturally didn’t say anything, and neither did that annoying person who brought it to Lin Wuyue, except for the Demon King, there were just Yuki and the waste hero.

…

Not to mention the two camping and cooking in the middle of the night, just talking about the sword saint girl who is thousands of miles away.

Yuki led the knights, riding swiftly. Although they were delayed a bit by a giant spider on the way, they continued to travel without sleep, not even knowing how many horses they had changed.

In the end, they arrived at the Free Federation earlier than expected.

Currently, they are in Nara City of the Free Federation, having rested for half a day, and they plan to rest for another day to be in the best condition when heading to Elrun City.

The Free Federation has only three cities, all of which are independent, coming together to form a federation for better development, and they do not interfere with each other usually.

This time, encountering the apostle’s attack is a major security issue, and the three free cities must have already communicated.

Yuki placed her hand on the sword’s handle, stood up straight, and walked slowly down the street.

The common people on both sides of the street quickly moved aside, keeping their distance, and then watched Yuki’s figure with curious or admiring eyes.

When they learned that the leader of the reinforcements stationed nearby was the kingdom’s Sword Saint, the crowd became very excited and started asking around for information about the Sword Saint.

When they found out that this Sword Saint was very low-key and seemed to only be in their twenties, the people’s enthusiasm dropped quite a bit.

Until they saw this unattainable beauty up close and felt their unmatched presence, their excitement was rekindled.

Unfortunately, the Sword Saint always remained distant and cold, making it impossible to approach; they could only admire from afar.

Of course, except for a self-satisfied toffee.

"So the cherry blossoms are about to bloom; I wonder if the Sword Saint could join me in enjoying Nara’s stunning scenery?"

Yuki was originally thinking about finishing her task quickly to find her brother when the person behind her kept chatting, which annoyed her.

Pausing for a moment, Yuki tightened her grip on her sword, struggling to suppress the urge to seriously injure him, and slowly turned around.

Following behind her was a man in his late twenties, not bad-looking, but with slicked-back hair and a lot of makeup, which she strongly disliked.

The only reason she didn’t directly harm him was that he was the current City Lord and the Loyal Dog Sword Saint, and she remembered Rin’s advice to avoid trouble.

"The Free Federation is still facing enemy attacks, and you are telling me you want to enjoy the cherry blossoms?"

Yuki’s starry eyes, filled with coldness and killing intent, made Nara instinctively take a step back and close her folding fan.

"No, Sword Saint, I think you misunderstood me. I meant after this battle is over."

"Boring and noisy."

After responding with just two words, Yuki ignored him and turned to leave.

The man was as thick-skinned as a city wall, still following her closely in this situation.

At this moment, Yuki had reached the central square of the city.

Unlike the iconic fountains and statues in other city squares, here there are only large trees surrounded by stones, with beautiful pink cherry blossom leaves.

"This is the Prayer Tree, which has been a tradition in Nara for a thousand years. It is said that if you write your wish on it and hang it on the Prayer Tree while reciting a good prayer, the blessings of the moon will grant your wish."

Nara explained, "Especially if you write the name of someone you admire, there is a high chance you will end up together. Many people pray for love at this tree."

The Sword Saint immediately appeared lively, thoughtfully glancing at the tree before turning back the way he came.
