"Looks like it's my turn~"
After Yan Lili was forcibly carried away, a handsome man with fiery red hair like blood and skin as pale as snow slowly rose from his seat.
He wore a resplendent crimson robe, a red jade necklace adorning his chest, and a blood jade bracelet on his wrist, exuding an air of regal elegance.
"Darkspawn Xueye, the Eleventh Seat Demon God, pays his respects to you, Madam~"
Darkspawn Xueye crossed his legs, placed a hand over his chest, and bowed gracefully to Luo Ruying.
In his other hand, he held a glass of 'red wine' steady.
A thick, scarlet liquid sloshed gently within the glass, releasing a rich, metallic aroma.
"Are... are you drinking blood...?" Luo Ruying asked in surprise, catching the strong, bloody scent.
"Indeed, Madam," Darkspawn Xueye replied without hesitation, his sharp fangs clearly visible as he spoke. "Please don't mind. The Darkspawn Clan requires us to drink blood daily to maintain our physical stability."
"It's alright..." Luo Ruying said. "I've heard rumors about the Darkspawn Clan of the Demon Realm needing to drink a daily ration of blood to survive..."
Hearing Darkspawn Xueye's words, Luo Ruying forced a strained smile.
She had heard of demons in the Demon Realm whose nature required them to drink blood to sustain their lives.
Though she found it difficult to accept, now that she had married into the Demon Realm, she had no choice but to adapt to its customs and traditions as best she could.
"Thank you for your understanding, Madam," Darkspawn Xueye said, bowing gratefully.
When he looked up, his gaze inadvertently swept across Luo Ruying's fair, jade-like neck. He couldn't help but stare blankly for a moment.
*Her blood... it looks so delicious!*
*No!*
*Absolutely not!*
*The Great Demon Lord will kill me!*
*Xueye, get a grip!*
*But he couldn't help it!!!*
Darkspawn Xueye's eyes instantly turned blood-red and bloodthirsty. With a flash, he lunged at Luo Ruying!
The entire scene left everyone present frozen in shock!
Ning Yechen rose, shielding Luo Ruying and the child behind him. He stomped on the table, grabbed Darkspawn Xueye's face, and slammed the airborne demon back to the ground in the center of the hall!
The entire process happened in the blink of an eye!
"She's mine!"
Ning Yechen coldly looked down at Darkspawn Xueye, who had crashed into the ground, asserting his dominance.
He immediately recognized that Darkspawn Xueye had undoubtedly lost control again due to his bloodlust.
"I... I'm sorry, Great Demon Lord!"
Deep in the grand hall's pit, Darkspawn Xueye knelt, clutching his head. His sharp, slender fingers dug into his own brain as he repeatedly slammed his head against the ground!
The others were completely startled by Darkspawn Xueye's actions.
"Why has Lord Xueye's bloodlust returned...?"
"The last time I saw him so restrained was when he resisted the urge to bite the Great Demon Lord..."
"Could he have... had improper thoughts about the Madam this time...?"
Yue Qingyou, who had been standing beside Ning Yechen, her expression turned icy.
Darkspawn Xueye dared to lay hands on the Madam?!
In her eyes, attacking the Madam of the Demon Realm was unforgivable!
Perhaps it was time to replace the Eleventh Seat Demon God of the Demon Realm!
Yue Qingyou moved to intervene, but Ning Yechen stopped her with a hand.
Given that it was a rare banquet, and Darkspawn Xueye hadn't acted intentionally, he let it slide.
"Husband, this...?"
Luo Ruying looked up at Ning Yechen, having been startled herself moments ago.
"Don't worry, my dear. It's just his old condition..." Ning Yechen chuckled, explaining, "Did it scare you?"
The members of the Darkspawn Clan were nearly scared out of their wits.
Dozens of them rushed forward, forcibly restraining Darkspawn Xueye, who was teetering on the brink of madness and self-harm. One of them rolled up his sleeve and extended his arm to Darkspawn Xueye's mouth.
The frenzied Darkspawn Xueye bit down without hesitation, sucking fiercely.
The deranged expression on his face gradually relaxed, replaced by an expression of bliss and heavenly satisfaction.
Meanwhile, the man whose arm was being bitten through the pain, shoved an iron rod into his mouth, his body convulsing uncontrollably.
After a moment, Darkspawn Xueye collapsed into unconsciousness from the pleasure, and the man who had been bleeding also fell unconscious.
Both were carried away together.
Luo Ruying: "..."
She was momentarily stunned, unsure what to say.
Now she finally understood what Ning Yechen had meant by "you might encounter some strange people"...
At first, she'd thought he was just referring to the soul phantoms, but she hadn't expected it to include other Demon God followers...
At this point, even if she met even stranger people, she doubted she'd be surprised anymore.
As soon as Darkspawn Xueye stepped down, it was the turn of a girl, completely swathed in a hooded cloak, to timidly ascend the platform.
She was even smaller than Yan Lili, with a delicate and refined beauty that gave her the air of a young lady from a humble but refined family.
However, she appeared self-conscious and timid, and even from the base of the platform, she dared not meet Luo Ruying's gaze.
"T-Twelfth Seat Demon God, Gu Mian, pays her respects to you, Madam..." Gu Mian murmured softly, her head bowed.
*Oh! This girl seems perfectly normal and cute!*
Luo Ruying's eyes lit up; she was immediately drawn to the girl.
Her timid demeanor even reminded her a little of Luo Hongye in the past...
*Finally, she'd met someone relatively normal again...!*
"Gu Mian, you don't have to keep your head bowed like that," Luo Ruying said with a gentle smile. "You're so beautiful and lovely—why hide your face?"
Gu Mian lifted her head, her face blooming into a shy, grateful smile. "Th-thank you, Madam...!" she stammered. "It's just that everyone's always been afraid of me, so I've never dared to look up..."
As she spoke, several grotesque, venomous centipedes crawled out from beneath her pale neck, followed by a swarm of other venomous insects!
A dense mass of insects covered almost her entire smiling face!
Even small insects were crawling out of her mouth and eyes one after another!
Fortunately, Ning Yechen had anticipated this and quickly covered Luo Hongye's eyes.
This would be too terrifying for a young child...
Luo Ruying: "...(⊙ˍ⊙)"
Luo Ruying froze instantly.
Looking down at Gu Mian's feet, she realized that insects were also swarming out from under her clothes.
"Madam, is Gu Mian really as beautiful and cute as you say~?" Gu Mian asked, smiling slightly at Luo Ruying, her voice filled with eagerness and anticipation.
"Mm... very beautiful and cute, yes...!" Luo Ruying forced a smile and nodded faintly.
She couldn't bring herself to crush this child's hopes.
She had overestimated her own composure.
Even with her preparations, she was still startled by Gu Mian.
"Thank you, Madam~!"
"Madam is the gentlest person Gu Mian has ever met!"
"Madam is the wife of the Great Demon Lord! Gu Mian is so happy!"
Gu Mian spun around happily and skipped away.
Everyone Gu Mian passed instinctively kept their distance.
This wasn't because they were repulsed by the insects on her body—such things were commonplace in the Demon Realm, not particularly disgusting or perverse.
The main issue was that her body was covered in poisonous insects. A single bite could be excruciatingly painful!
