Chapter 311

Silently pondering how to find a way to break the deadlock, three full days had passed since the demon-slaying team composed of the geniuses of various races marched into the Demon Realm to assassinate the Demon King. One day was wasted advancing to the border between humans and demons, another day was wasted being wiped out in the Demon Realm, and the remaining day... naturally, was spent being poisoned and carried back to the so-called Demon King's Palace by the Demon Dong Miao 'Hua Xin words at the time, a nameless fire burned fiercely within Hua Xin, wishing she could immediately take the Hero's Sword and hack Dong Miao eighty-one times. "Clang, clang." Hua Xin struggled helplessly in a fit of rage, but the handcuffs tightly bound to her wrists and the unknown railing of the bed easily prevented her movements, only producing some noise. Besides that, she could do nothing. "Damn it!?" Hua Xin cursed angrily. Without her armor and Magic Power, coupled with the combined effects of the unknown poison, she was utterly powerless and could only express her rage with a few helpless curses. Not only her hands, but her legs were also shackled. It was clear that although she was poisoned and powerless to resist, Dong Miao had still taken precautions, carefully using double safeguards. The girl tilted her head and closed her eyes speechlessly. From being stabbed twice and falling unconscious, to waking up in this pitch-black, deserted room, she had no idea how much time had passed. She only knew that no matter how much she shouted, no one responded. "A prisoner..." Hua Xin smiled bitterly, her tongue slowly moving from her mouth to her teeth. She had never imagined that one day she would become someone's prisoner, nor that she would be unable to defeat someone. She was clearly a hero, clearly the strongest, clearly someone who could become the captain of the Royal Knights solely through physical strength, without relying on magic... Dong Miao's last words before she fainted echoed in her mind once more, and Hua Xin's face flushed a deep pink with anger. "Did I even give birth to you?!" Although she knew Dong Miao intended to humiliate her in this way, Hua Xin remained resolute. Heh, if he wanted to disgust her this way, she wouldn't accept her fate. Since in his eyes, these years as comrades had left no trace of friendship, and he was instead a demon king who had infiltrated for so long, then as a prisoner, there was no need for her to continue living a life of ignominy. Purple clay... that didn't sound like the kind of fate a hero should have. With a slight sigh, Hua Xin prepared to end her life here... "Creak." The sound of the door opening dispelled the darkness, and a blinding light shone from the ceiling, illuminating the entire room. The sudden white light made Hua Xin's pupils constrict slightly; she was momentarily stunned, not understanding what was happening. Then, her hands and feet felt light, and the shackles fell away, allowing her to move freely. What was going on? Hua Xin abandoned her plan to bite her tongue with the purple sand; after all, she wouldn't give up as long as there was even the slightest chance to retaliate. She had to repay this humiliation a hundredfold. "Good morning, Your Majesty." "By the Demon King's will, please change into these clothes before dining. Shortly afterward, the great, fearless, supreme ruler of the entire clan, the Flying Yuan True Lord, the Loyal and Filial Emperor, the Longevity Emperor, and the Demon King will descend upon this place." After a long speech, the door was firmly closed once more. Hua Xin hadn't even seen who had spoken before the brief conversation ended. Oh, it seems more like an announcement than a conversation. But what did she just say? Queen? The brave Hua Xin, oblivious to the luxurious decor of the room—more opulent than a palace—stared at the fragrant food and neatly folded clothes parked at the doorway, lost in thought. ["Have a baby."] Dong Miao's words still echoed in her mind. So, since he didn't kill her but chose to poison her, that means... Hua Xin shuddered, then rubbed her face in disbelief. Was he serious? This terrifying thought flashed through her mind briefly before Hua Xin chuckled to herself, then walked to the food cart and silently savored the food. She should eat first... An hour later. "Let me go!!!" "If you tell me to let go and I just let go, wouldn't I lose face?" Dong Miao grinned mischievously, restraining the struggling beauty with one hand, a slightly intoxicated expression appearing on his usually shrewish face. "As expected of a hero, even the smell is wonderful." "You son of a bitch." Hua Xin was almost tired of cursing, but her struggles and resistance never stopped. Not long ago, she hadn't used the purple clay pot because she thought she could steam it, but instead hid it in the pure gold fork in the food that someone had brought her, planning to ambush Dong Miao later. But unfortunately, the plan failed again and again. The perceptive Demon King easily subdued Hua Xin, who wanted to kill him, and then looked at her body, which he had already seen naked, with an appreciative gaze. The exceptionally delicate pure white stockings clung to the girl's legs, creating an alluring curve, and the barely-there skirt covered the distance from her knees to her thighs, but often shifted upwards during her struggles. Her upper body was a very simple shirt, but it seemed a bit inadequate when paired with Hua Xin's excessively broad chest. Well, if it weren't for the need to fight back, she wouldn't have put on this somewhat provocative outfit like this. "Whoosh." Hua Xin's beautiful eyes widened in shock, speechless as she watched Dong Miao, with a wicked grin, tear apart the seemingly expensive white stockings. "Dong Miao, if you dare move another muscle, I'll tear you to pieces!" A flicker of unease flashed in Hua Xin's eyes. Although she hadn't experienced this as a man, and similarly hadn't experienced it after accidentally becoming a woman due to awakening magical abilities, she was perfectly aware of the foreplay they were about to engage in. Wasn't this supposed to be creating a baby?! "I'm scared." Despite saying this, Dong Miao calmly pulled down his pants. "Not bad, you've got some assets." This thought flashed through Hua Xin's mind, but then she remembered that these weren't hers, but Dong Miao's. And she was the one lying on the bed, about to become the one being... being...(This section omits the 108 ways Hua Xin greets her family and various Hua Xin's Collected Writings.) "Oh, by the way, my queen, Dong Miao is an alias." The Demon King firmly restrained the struggling and resisting Hua Xin, lowering his head to her ear and speaking slowly in a voice that sounded like a demon. "My name is Xia Yan." Then, the dragon slammed in. ———
