The Demon Emperor was Saint Emperor

Chapter 167: Hogging All the Benefits

At dinner time, the Lynn Mansion was full, and the atmosphere was filled with joy.

In addition to the usual attendees, there was Natasha the dragon at the dinner table today, and a pet snow eagle was at the side.

Both the dragon and the eagle behaved very well, quiet and peaceful, eating obediently, like well-behaved children.

Because Vivian previously caught Natasha and Lynn sneaking intimacy, she occasionally stole glances at them during the meal.

First it was her, then Xiya, so is it Natasha’s turn tonight?

If Natasha knew what Vivian was thinking at that moment, she would surely kneel slide instantly and shout, "Brilliant plan, great sister!"

Unfortunately, Natasha doesn’t have mind-reading abilities, and Lynn has no such intentions either.

Previously, he dared to get more intimate with Vivian and Xiya not just because he was tempted, but because they were both relatively passive types, and unless he himself went too far, it was still relatively safe.

But Natasha is different; she and Vivian are practically two extremes. Vivian needs a bit of a push to move, while with Natasha, if Lynn gives her a slight nudge, she might just ride him...

Unless he truly wants to fully conquer her, Lynn absolutely wouldn’t take Natasha to the bedroom. This danger level is no less than challenging the Demon King solo without potions.

...

"Tomorrow, do you have any plans?"

After dinner, while strolling in the courtyard, Xiya deliberately found Lynn to ask if he had any scheduled plans for tomorrow.

She didn’t mention what she’d be doing, since she had no important matters, and if Lynn had plans, she would follow his lead, and if there was nothing, she’d do her own thing.

"Nothing special. Do you have something lined up?"

Lynn looked at Xiya. He had just returned from the Demon Realm and wouldn’t be going back for the next two days. Matters with the Celestial Destiny Empire are being taken care of by Helena and the Light Judge she invited, so besides spending time with his wife and children, he honestly had nothing planned.

"Nothing major really, just that my sister received my message and learned about us, got a bit upset, and sent elves to take me back. The elves should arrive tomorrow, so I plan to find some time to deal with them."

As Xiya spoke, she twirled a strand of her hair, seeming quite nonchalant.

"Big sister is angry? That shouldn’t be..."

Upon hearing Xiya’s words, Lynn scratched his chin in confusion. By logic, as the queen of the Elf Race, she shouldn’t have any dissatisfaction toward him, the great benefactor of the elves, even if he "occupied" her sister.

But Lynn’s previous activities in the Miracle World occurred during the previous Elf King’s reign. He didn’t know much about the current Elf Queen or what kind of elf she was, but she shouldn’t be a bad elf. The Elf King he knew had pretty good judgment, choosing him right away and even gifting him the Promise of the Elf King for conquering Xiya.

"Actually, you don’t need to worry about it. I can handle it myself. After all, she is my sister, and she won’t harm me."

Seeing that Lynn was bewildered to the point of scratching his head, Xiya quickly grasped his hand, interlocking their fingers, not wanting him to worry for her.

In fact, her sister wouldn’t hurt her at all. You know, as the queen of the Elf Race, her sister values Lynn’s great benevolence towards them more heavily.

Indeed, sister is upset, but her anger isn’t aimed at Lynn, but at her own sister.

Her exact words in the message were...

"I am the Queen of the Elf Race, should I be letting you repay the favor? How audacious of you, Xiya Belinda, planning to hog him all to yourself!"

In Lynn’s own words, it might be...

"Just who made little Xiya worthy of Lord Hero? Please, leave some peaches for the monkeys on Huaguo Mountain!"

Recalling the story Lynn told the two little ones about the Great Sage Equal to Heaven and that popular saying, Xiya showed a bright smile.

Who cares if she’s worthy? With Lord Hero’s amorous nature, as long as one is beautiful enough and pure-hearted, there’s no such thing as being unworthy of him.

Conversely, as a queen, if sister wants to pass the throne to her children, repaying Lynn in the same way she did wouldn’t do, for heirs to the Elf throne must be pure-blooded elves.

Although Lord Lynn’s bloodline might be more advanced than an Elf King’s, and their offspring could potentially surpass pure-blooded royal elves, the Elf Race’s faith is unique, valuing blood purity greatly. Even Divine Blood Descendants are seen as inferior to pure-blood elves.

"How can you say that? You are my wife; your matters are my matters. Besides, if they try to take you back, that’s stealing my wife, can I tolerate that?"

Lynn originally wanted to say those who dared take his wife were asking for it, but since the one wanting to take Xiya was her sister, he changed to a more respectful wording.

"Rest assured, Xiya is your elf; no amount of elves can take her away. Sister is just trying to scare me, wanting me to give you up... ahem, anyway, don’t worry, I’m not leaving, I want to stay with you for another six hundred years."

Xiya clutched Lynn’s hand and placed it over her chest, not for him to take advantage, but to let him feel her sincere heart.

She wasn’t like her sister who hadn’t even seen Lynn; solely focused on repaying him, she’s begun cultivating feelings for Lynn now, mostly from the warm life shared with Lynn and the children, though part of it is affection, albeit scant but genuine, no lies.

"Six hundred years aren’t enough, don’t ever think you can escape my grasp; I said it, the Nether God comes, he’ll have to step aside!"

Lynn will certainly not act inappropriately, but instead grasped Xiya’s hand firmly and placed his own over his chest.

What he said was sincere; he will try to Ascend to Divinity someday, ensuring his infinite future with his wives, not even death represented by the Nether God could prevent eternal togetherness, let alone an Elf Queen.

Whatever elves she sends, he’ll take them one by one; if more come... worse case, move the Elf Kingdom’s core to the Celestial Destiny Empire...

"I understand your intentions, but the Nether God is also a Deity of the Pantheon, be respectful."

Xiya carefully tapped Lynn’s lips with her finger, stopping him from speaking casually. Although he is closest to Divinity, he shouldn’t disrespect the Deities, especially since the Nether God is second only to the Light God as the strongest Main God.
