You're Already Surrounded by Me (Four Thousand)

It was precisely for this reason that, despite Princess Lilina's irresistible charm, none of the sixty-three high-level Magic Creature dared to look directly at Lilina, fearing that they might inadvertently be bewitched by the princess.

After all, not everyone wants to become a puppet.

Behind Lilina, another sound came, and Lilina's puppets appeared.

I could feel the slight movements upstairs, outside the window, and even under the floor beneath my feet. I could roughly sense that there were at least a hundred of them, including some that were level 80 or higher.

The entire villa has been completely sealed off by Lilina.

This situation gave many Magic Creature a bad feeling, and they subconsciously became more vigilant.

What exactly does this Sixth Princess want to do?

Could it be that they're lying in ambush here to wipe out all the competitors?

They didn't think Princess Lilina would be such a fool. Although the princess herself was very powerful, coupled with an Abyssal Demon General and so many puppets, it wouldn't be impossible for her to annihilate all the Magic Creature here.

But... in doing so, Lilina herself will also suffer significant losses, since the Hero hasn't even been killed yet.

These Magic Creature didn't think Lilina would be so foolish.

Hey!

Just then, a beautiful voice came from Korklaf's head, and Lilina's slender body leaped down from the top of the Abyssal Demon General's head.

A pair of eerie purple eyes swept over the Magic Creature whose heads were bowed, seemingly indifferent but actually ready for battle. A mocking smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Alright, you fools, raise your heads."

Idiot?

Magic Creature have feelings too; Magic Creature have dignity too.

They care about saving face even more than the average human.

Even if you are the sixth princess, such humiliation would be unbearable for many Magic Creature.

At that moment, the sixty-three high-level Magic Creature raised their heads almost simultaneously, their strange eyes glaring angrily at Princess Lilina.

Lilina completely ignored the Wrath stares, paying them no heed. "What? Did I say something wrong?"

"You seem to have some difficulty accepting the label of 'idiot'?"

"But I don't see anything wrong with what I said. How dare you even try to seize the Demon King's throne? If you're not fools, then who is?"

Hiss?

Are you coming again?

The continuous humiliation became unbearable for more and more Magic Creature, and Magic Creature even began to growl threateningly, as if they might attack at any moment.

The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became extremely tense, as if a storm was brewing.

But the Sixth Princess seemed completely oblivious to the slight mockery that lingered on their faces throughout. "A bunch of idiots, do you really think you can become the Demon King?"

"To tell you the truth, even if Father has given the order, the throne was never meant for you."

"Even if you have the ability to kill the Hero and obtain Hero corpse, I have a question for you all..."

"Can you safely deliver the Hero's body to my father? Can you leave this Imperial City safely?"

"Leaving aside whether the Hero's supporters will let you leave the Imperial City safely, and not to mention whether other Magic Creature who also covet the Demon King's throne will launch a sneak attack, just look at me. Which of you is confident that you can get past me?" Lilina didn't hide anything, but directly revealed the most bloody side to these Magic Creature.

The word "Demon King" is nothing more than a beautiful yet cruel poison to them.

Upon hearing this, the previously Wrath Magic Creature all fell silent, even suppressing the threatening roars escaping their throats.

They knew they were no match for the Sixth Princess.

They initially thought that good fortune might come their way, but after witnessing Lilina's power, they realized how fragile good fortune is in the face of absolute power disparity.

Seeing that the blazing flames on the Magic Creature seemed to have subsided slightly, Lilina relaxed a little. "Everyone..."

"I just want you to understand one thing: I don't want to harm you; on the contrary, I want to save you."

"Have you ever considered that in the Demonic Beast Territory there are seventeen Demon General, four Heavenly Kings, my father had seven sons... well, now there are only four left, nine daughters, and twenty-six queens..."

Are they weaker than you?

"No, each of them is stronger than you, so why didn't they appear here? And why were you the ones who wanted to assassinate the Hero first?"

"Especially that Ramon who's been making headlines lately, that guy's still stuck in the Demon King's Castle. Why? Think about it?"

So many Demon General, the Four Heavenly King, princes, princesses, and queens have yet to appear. Does this mean they have no interest in the Demon King's throne?

That's impossible.

And what about Ramon? Why is he still holed up in the Demon King's Castle without making a single move?

These Magic Creature may be silly, but they're not completely brainless.

Previously, they had been blinded by the allure of the Demon King's throne, but after Lilina's reminder, they finally came to their senses, and for a moment, the entire hall was filled with the sounds of Magic Creature gasping in shock.

Could it be that Ramon was waiting to ambush him on his way back to the Demon King's Castle carrying the Hero's corpse?

They don't have the strength to fight against Ramon.

When did Ramon, that simpleton, become so smart?

Moreover, according to Lilina, the enemy lurking in the shadows is far more than just Ramon; the other princes, queens, consorts, and Demon General all share the same plan.

Damn it, what a shameless bunch! They're utterly shameless!

"Do you understand? Without a sufficiently powerful force to protect it, even killing the Hero and obtaining his corpse is nothing more than poison."

"Even if you manage to overcome all the obstacles, successfully deliver the corpse to my father, and ascend the Demon King's throne, can you really hold onto that position with your strength? Won't you just die sometime under mysterious circumstances?"

"From the moment you stepped into the Imperial City, you were essentially half-dead... But now, I'm willing to offer you a way out."

Seeing the Magic Creature gripped by fear, Lilina smiled and said, "Swear allegiance to me; this is your only way out."

"With all our strength combined, there's really nothing to fear. No matter which of my brothers or sisters, which Heavenly King, or which Demon General wants to harm us, they'd better think twice!"

"Once I become the Demon King, you will be my greatest contributors, and naturally you will also receive your share of the rewards."

This is Lilina's plan.

Unlike her other competitors, her brothers and sisters were surrounded by a large number of highly skilled individuals.

Although Lilina manipulated a group of puppets through Succubus means, she was still far too weak and isolated compared to these beings.

Therefore, the sixth princess wanted to use this method to control these scattered troops. These Magic Creature were powerless to influence the situation when they were alone, but once they were gathered together, they became a force that no one dared to underestimate.

The hall was filled only with heavy breathing. The Magic Creature' eyes darted around, as if trying to read the expressions on their companions' faces and discern Magic Creature thoughts.

They did not want to relinquish their throne as the Demon King.

However, the Sixth Princess is right. In this situation, if one still covets the Demon King's throne, one will die without even knowing how.

In that case, choosing a strong competitor to pledge allegiance to might allow one to secure the greatest benefit for oneself after the struggle for the Demon King's throne ends.

Princess Lilina, the sixth princess, seemed to be the only option.

Even these mindless Magic Creature could sense the atmosphere before them; if they dared to refuse this sixth princess, she probably wouldn't let them leave alive.

The puppets that were originally positioned outside the windows and doors have now entered the room one by one, making the hall increasingly crowded.

These puppets are a threat.

Lilina's lips curled into a faint smile, exuding her allure. It was an invitation; becoming Lilina's subordinate might allow one to spend some truly wonderful nights with this stunning Succubus.

Under double coercion, the Magic Creature finally chose to submit, kneeling on the ground and swearing allegiance to Princess Lilina.

Looking at the large group of figures kneeling on the ground before her, and hearing their vows of loyalty, Lilina's face was filled with excitement, pride, and even a somewhat arrogant smile.

That's it. After winning over these people, my power among my many competitors will soar, and from today onward, no one will dare to underestimate me.

"Very good, everyone, you have made the wisest decision."

"The day I ascend the throne of the Demon King will be the day you rise above others."

Lilina spread her arms wide and raised her head high. "Regardless of status, power, wealth, or femaleness, you can get everything you want."

Having subdued so many powerful subordinates, and now that the Hero's power is waning and his body is weakened for some reason...

This is simply a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity bestowed upon me by heaven.

In her mind's eye, she was already sitting on the throne of the Demon King, becoming the first queen of the entire Magic Creature race in a thousand years.

"Come with me, let's go and take the Hero's head now," Lilina said proudly.

Her voice already possessed the air of a queen.

The women surrounding the Hero were far less powerful than the legends suggested. He currently had over seventy powerful Magic Creature at level eighty or higher by his side. With such strength, what could the Hero, even if he were still at his peak, do?

Is there any way to turn the world upside down?

With a cold voice, Lilina walked out the door, head held high and swaying her graceful body.

A large group of Magic Creature immediately surrounded Lilina. Magic Creature are very simple-minded; since they have sworn allegiance, they will naturally try to make a good impression on the future queen.

Squeak...

With a slight scraping sound, the door was pushed open.

Lilina was surprised to find another figure standing outside the door as she took the first step out.

He was a handsome, tall man dressed in a well-fitting robe, with dark eyes as bright as Obsidian.

When Lilina saw this person, even her breath caught in her throat for a moment.

She immediately recognized the person at the door: the Hero... Qin Chu?

What's this guy doing here?

Qin Chu's face was full of gentle smiles as he spread his hands. "Surprised? Excited? Unexpected?"

Many thanks to reader Black Golas for the 5,000 coins, reader 2,000 coins for the 2,000 coins, and reader 20220318134747333 for the 1,500 coins. Thank you for your support.

I'm getting an IV drip at the hospital; I have a bit of inflammation and need to get it for three days straight. I got home a little late yesterday, and I was writing half of it when I couldn't continue. I only finished one chapter this morning, and I still have to go for another IV drip this afternoon.

The good news is that the test result is turning negative; the red line on the self-test has become very faint, almost invisible.

Chapter 481 You are now surrounded by me (4,000 words)

Surprised? Unexpected? Exciting?

In that instant, the whole world seemed to fall into an eerie silence, without a single sound. Even Princess Lilina stood there dumbfounded.

At that moment, Lilina even doubted whether there was something wrong with her eyes and that she had mistaken the person.

Is this Qin Chu?

Is he Hero?

Why is Qin Chu here? How did he know I was here? Where did he get the audacity to show his face here?

Countless thoughts flooded Princess Lilina's mind in an instant... Even though Lilina wasn't stupid and her mind was quite quick, her brain simply crashed due to the sheer number of chaotic ideas that were forming.

Lilina thought her actions were very secretive, and that very few people would know about them. Before she summoned these Magic Creature here, Magic Creature didn't even know her location, and the Hero's power was indeed severely depleted.

When Rockwell attempted to assassinate the Hero, Lilina had also sensed the Hero's strength through certain channels.

At that time, the Hero was not much different from an ordinary person; his Magic Power and Battle Qi were almost completely depleted.

It's only been half a day since the day started. Even if the Hero's strength has recovered a little, how much can it be? Recovery from this kind of power depletion is extremely slow. It might take ten days, half a month, or even a year and a half to return to his strongest state.

Half a day is practically negligible.

Judging from Qin Chu's expression, there was no doubt that this guy knew his identity. Knowing full well that so many powerful Magic Creature were hidden here, he still dared to come looking for trouble? Was this Hero simply courting death?

Aside from courting death, Lilina couldn't think of any other reason why the Hero would do such a thing. Either this so-called Hero was a complete idiot.

Although Lilina's mind was in turmoil, she remained relatively calm. The other Magic Creature, however, paid little attention. Seeing Magic Creature Hero suddenly appear before them, after a brief moment of shock, twisted, excited smiles quickly spread across their faces.

Their brains, no bigger than walnut kernels, were incapable of thinking much; their hearts were filled with excitement and ecstasy. The Hero had actually come to his death willingly, saving himself the trouble of coming to him. This was absolutely the best opportunity to kill the Hero.

Although the Demon King's throne is no longer within his reach, the Magic Creature that kills the Hero first in front of Princess Lilina will naturally be more valued.

Greed has quickly clouded what little reason it had left.

Finally, a tentacle-type Magic Creature named Milo, who was following closely behind Lilith, could no longer hold back. A suppressed roar erupted from its throat, and its arms spread out, instantly transforming into a series of twisted venomous snakes. The sharp tips writhed wildly in mid-air, like sharp javelins aimed directly at the Hero's chest.

Hiss hiss hiss...

The tentacles twisted faster than arrows, reaching Qin Chu in the blink of an eye. The so-called Hero stood motionless the entire time.

Even the smile on his face hadn't faded, as if he had been stunned by the incredibly fast attack.
