Overwhelming Rage

"Princess..."

Behind Yueye, a maidservant anxiously tugged at her sleeve and whispered, "It's people from the Undead Demon Race... Under the Fourth Demon God. We... shouldn't confront them directly."

Yueye didn't speak, only gazing at Xuan Ye, who was kneeling on the ground, her silver eyes flickering.

Seeing this, the maidservant knew the princess was unwilling, so she could only brace herself and step forward, bowing slightly to Valen.

"Count Valen, this is a matter for the Moon Demon Race. Please give us some face."

"This half-breed traitor carries our clan's secrets. According to our rules, he should be taken back to the clan for punishment."

Upon hearing this, a strange smile appeared on Valen's pale face.

Take him away?

He hadn't intended to kill this "Moon Demon Race" member right now.

A living Moon Demon Race genius, who had received human education and harbored killing intent towards demons, was far more valuable than a corpse.

His core target had never been this fourth-tier nobody, but the Moon Demon Race behind him.

Didn't the Moon Demon Race always boast about their love for peace, even doing business with humans?

Now, a "clan member" who grew up in the human world and wielded a butcher's knife against demons had appeared.

What a perfect excuse this was.

Why the Moon Demon Race, of all people?

Why was it this race that advocated peace with humans that produced such a bloodthirsty traitor?

What exactly were their merchant caravans, traveling between the Human-Devil Realms, transporting?

Who knew if they weren't secretly colluding with humans, plotting some conspiracy against the entire demon race?

A living traitor was a thorn that would forever be stuck in the Moon Demon Race's throat.

If he died, it would simply be a cause for "human" rejoicing, and he would have been executed.

But if he lived, the Moon Demon Race would forever have an indelible stain, a handle that could be used to attack them at any time.

Their Undead Demon Race, as the Number One Clan under the Fourth Demon God, had long coveted a position in the top three.

The Sun, Moon, and Star Three Clans, bound by kinship, had always prevented them from shaking their status.

Now, a flaw had appeared.

He would drive this thorn deep into the flesh and blood of the Moon Demon Race.

Xuan Ye didn't understand this silent confrontation, but he could see.

He could feel that he seemed to have become some kind of bargaining chip.

The desire to survive reignited a spark in his almost depleted Inner Spiritual Power.

The Moon Demon Race... actually seemed to want to protect him!

He propped himself up, remaining silent, and waited to see what would happen.

Valen, appreciating Yueye's Maidservant's ugly expression, spoke slowly.

"The person, you want to take him away, it's not impossible."

"But..."

He extended a finger clad in a white glove, pointing at the Fifth Tier mad demon Corpse on the ground, whose head Xuan Ye had severed with a sword, and then pointed at the demons in the distance who had turned to ash.

"My loyal subordinates, they can't have died for nothing."

"Princess Yueye, shouldn't your Moon Demon Race give me an explanation?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the Maidservant's face instantly turned ashen.

She knew Valen was blackmailing them.

But, they were in the wrong.

For her incredibly noble Princess, a peak Seventh Tier expert, to bow to a Sixth Tier Count, and even compensate him?

This was simply a monumental humiliation!

The Maidservant's anger could no longer be suppressed. She suddenly turned her head to look at Xuan Ye, who was kneeling on the ground, her eyes filled with venom and hatred.

It was all this damned half-breed's fault!

If it weren't for him, the Princess wouldn't have suffered such humiliation!

She now wholeheartedly agreed with Valen's statement. This guy, who grew up in human territory, hated their Demon Race to the bone.

He deserved to die!

However, the Princess's will was not to be defied.

The Maidservant took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the killing intent in her heart, and bowed to Valen again.

"Count Valen, our Moon Demon Race will remember the friendship of the Undead Demon Race."

"As long as you are willing to let him go, we will surely repay you handsomely."

"What nonsense are you spouting?"

Valen's brow suddenly furrowed, his patience seemingly exhausted.

He took a step forward.

"BOOM--!"

The aura of a Sixth Tier expert erupted without reservation, like an invisible mountain, pressing down fiercely on the maidservant.

The maidservant was also Sixth Tier, but her strength was a notch weaker than Valen's. Under the impact of this aura, she let out a muffled groan, staggered back several steps, and a trace of blood seeped from the corner of her mouth.

Valen didn't even glance at her again. His gaze passed over her, directly at the Moon Demon Race Princess who had remained silent from beginning to end.

"Your Highness Yueye."

"From the moment you appeared until now, you've had your maidservant speak to me."

"What, are you too good to converse with me?"

"Is this how your Moon Demon Race asks for favors?"

A perverse sense of pleasure rose in Valen's heart.

He wanted to humiliate her.

That's right, Yueye was at the peak of the Seventh Tier. If they really fought, he would be no match for her.

But so what?

The information about this "Moon Demon Race Traitor" had already been sent back to the higher echelons of the Demon Race.

If she, Yueye, dared to attack him here for a traitor, even if he died, he could transmit the message before his last breath.

At that time, how would the Moon Demon Race handle themselves?

Attacking a friendly Count for a traitor who grew up in the human world and slaughtered their own kin?

Yueye couldn't bear this charge, nor could the entire Moon Demon Race!

He was certain that Yueye had no other choice.

Being able to humiliate a princess of the Top Three Demon God Race in front of so many demons, this feeling made him incredibly exhilarated.

Under Valen's relentless gaze, Yueye finally made a move.

Her pair of silver eyes slowly turned towards Xuan Ye.

Then, she spoke.

Her voice was clear and cold, yet carried an undeniable weight.

"You, you hurt him?"

"Huh?"

Valen was stunned.

Not just him, but all the demons present were stunned.

I hurt him?

What's going on?

He's a traitor, he killed my subordinates, isn't it only right that I hurt him?

Yueye ignored Valen's bewilderment.

Her gaze, for the first time, fell clearly upon Xuan Ye.

This is the one... who shares my plight?

Not like it.

Not at all.

The herself in her memory, even when ostracized, bullied, and attacked with the most vicious words by her peers, still wore a clean purple dress and maintained her dignity.

But the youth before her was covered in blood, his clothes tattered, exuding an aura of death and blood, utterly disheveled.

His face had long lost any trace of the Moon Demon Race's handsomeness and elegance.

But...

For some reason, looking at the disheveled Xuan Ye, a flame that had been suppressed for who knew how many years erupted within Yueye's heart!

She seemed to see another phantom.

If she were not Agareus's daughter, if she did not have the protection of her princess status.

Then, would she, at that age, have been trampled into the Soil like him, bullied by everyone, covered in scars?

That overwhelming anger instantly drowned out her reason.

"Rumble--!"

Terrifying demonic power surged from Yueye's petite body, stirring the winds and clouds.

Yueye and the protagonist's early relationship will be quite twisted. It can only be said that compared to Cai'er's character design, the level of interest is not inferior.
