Chapter 150

The demon servants and maids standing below exchanged glances furtively. They hadn't expected this person to arrive either; this was going to be quite a show.

The snake demon was filled with disgust. What right did this lowly Demon Race have to call him brother? He was just relying on the Empress Dowager's favor!

He clung to the Empress Dowager even tighter, as if afraid she would be seduced by this little vixen. Unexpectedly, the other party became even more shameless, clinging to the Empress Dowager's arm and wrapping himself around her as well.

The three of them were tangled up on the chair. Although the Empress Dowager's chair was spacious enough, it couldn't accommodate three people entangled on it. The Empress Dowager was alright, but the two demon servants had one's tail caught in the chair and the other's hand caught in the chair. Their expressions were somewhat distorted, and they had to endure not letting out a scream. At the same time, they secretly exerted their strength to push each other out, and they didn't forget to complain.

"Empress Dowager, he's pushing me! Humph!"

"Brother, you were the one who bumped into me, hmph~"

The demon servants, watching the situation above, secretly suppressed their laughter.

The Ye Xun's expression was extremely grim; he only wished he had a fly swatter, otherwise he would have easily swatted those two incessantly buzzing mosquitoes.

[Haha, the Fox King's face is turning blue.]

[But what if they get tangled up and get all knotted? Who will be able to untangle them then?]

Pfft

Wen Zhi was amused by her junior sister's thoughts again. While the others were busy fighting over the girl, she was secretly taking her second senior sister's pulse. When no one was talking to her, she stood still, seemingly unresponsive to everything around her.

When Wen Zhi pressed her pulse point, she did not resist, as if she were a puppet without feeling.

She suppressed her heartache and carefully checked his pulse, while keeping an eye on the movements above. She could tell that the white-clad demon servant was a snake demon, but what kind of demon was the one in red on the other side?

His waist looked even thinner than the snake demon's, bordering on inhuman. He was also incredibly clingy, like a plaster stuck to the Empress Dowager. Could this plaster have come to life?

The Empress Dowager's preferences are quite clear from these two demons—she likes women with slender waists.

She couldn't help but secretly ask her junior sister, "Qiaoqiao, what kind of demon is that in red?"

Qiaoqiao blinked. "Senior sister, guess?"

"Hmm..." Wen Zhi thought for a moment, "A lizard?"

"Wrong."

"Could it be... an eel?"

"Closer," Qiaoqiao blinked and whispered, "It's an earthworm."

Wen Zhi:...

No wonder.

No wonder it looked like a long, sticky thing—it was an earthworm that had come to life! But wasn't that a bit too disgusting? She simply couldn't accept an earthworm sticking to her body!

The Empress Dowager's hobbies are truly... astonishing.

"The Demon King has arrived!"

A guard's shout at the door pulled her back to reality—wasn't the Demon King sitting on the platform? Why is there another Demon King?

Turning around, a man dressed in magnificent golden robes, with a weasel-like face, entered, supported by a demon servant. The demon servant respectfully said, "Old Demon King, please slow down."

So this is the old demon king that Qiaoqiao was talking about, who is also the father of the fox king and the husband of the empress dowager.

But, logically speaking, they're all foxes, so why does this old demon king look a bit like a rat?

The old demon king had just stepped across the threshold when he saw the scene before him, and his eyes widened in shock. "A Rong, you... what are you doing...?"

He clutched his chest, breathing rapidly, as if he had suffered a great shock.

"Father!" Ye Xun jumped to his feet in alarm. "Mother, are you trying to kill Father with anger?!"

Zi Rong's expression instantly turned panicked. Why was this old man here?! Shouldn't he be bedridden and unable to get up?!

Wen Zhi couldn't help but wonder: Didn't the old demon king know that the Empress Dowager had a demon servant? Why did he seem so surprised?

[Oh, he's finally here!]

[The old demon king finally saw with his own eyes just how green the hat on his head really was.]

[After all, the Empress Dowager had poisoned him for so many years; he could barely move. However, the old demon king possessed formidable Demon Power. Despite being so deeply poisoned, he wasn't crippled yet; a single slap could kill two of his sons. Even the Empress Dowager was no match for him.]

Wen Zhi: I never would have guessed that this old demon king who looks like a rat is so powerful.

However, he has a fatal weakness.

Wen Zhi: What weakness?

He's afraid of earthworms!

Wen Zhi:...

She only saw the old demon king trembling incessantly and assumed he was angry because the Empress Dowager had found two more concubines, but she didn't expect he was actually afraid!

That's really something else.

But wouldn't that mean the old demon king would be completely controlled by the Empress Dowager?

I thought he could slap those annoying guys up there flat.

She was a little disappointed, but when she looked to the side, she saw that Qiaoqiao's eyes were shining, and she was obviously excited.

[The old demon king has a quirk: when he's afraid, it triggers an instinctive reaction, unleashing his strongest attack.]

Look, he's gathering his strength!

The old demon king's face turned bluish-purple as he slowly raised his hand.

Demon Power is gathering in the hall.

This was the strongest attack delivered on instinct, a power capable of shattering the entire Demon King's Palace.

Everyone panicked.

No one expected that the old demon king, who had been recuperating in bed, would suddenly come here. The reason was actually very simple: his son was getting married, but no one had informed him. The old demon king overheard a palace servant mention it, struggled to get up and see his daughter-in-law, only to stumble upon this scene.

The fact that the Empress Dowager had secretly found two male concubines was enough to enrage him. He immediately recognized the one in red as the one he feared most in his life—an earthworm!

That sticky, burrowing thing was absolutely terrifying, absolutely terrifying!
