2: Underneath A Thousand Skies

264 This Psychopathic Demon Is Psychic (16)

Inside the castle's great hall, where the wedding was supposed to be held, a terrifying silence hung over the room.

It was an absolute quiet that made one shudder, as if they were being entombed alive. The Great Demon King was silent on his throne, coldly looking at the kneeling demon lord in front of him.

Fresh flowers could be found on every inch of the great hall, twining around pillars and wreathing the walls. Rose petals sprinkled the aisle while salvia flowers hung above their heads, joined stem from stem to create a gauzy curtain.

Crystal chandeliers, sconces, and twinkling lights casted an enchanting glow, creating a scenery that seemed as if it had been lifted straight from a dream.

Unfortunately, like all dreams, there was a time it must end and one have to eventually wake up.

The Great Demon King did not only wake up grumpy, but in a towering rage.

"Demon lord Piencheng of the sixth court of 『Luxuria』."

Hearing her title being called out, Piencheng did not lift her head from the floor, her whole body trembling at the waves of violent aura coming from man sitting on the throne. The male incubus she had commanded to imitate the Great Demon King's appearance was already dead, his head separated from the rest of his body. Her skirt was being slowly stained with his blood.

It was not only the male incubus that received the Great Demon King's anger. He had ordered Wen Yu to follow Song Jia, and everything he saw had already been told to him. The demon servant that dared to make Song Jia carry a heavy tray, and Chen Hui. As if only killing a bunch of flies, they were already disposed of with no hesitation.

He did not get this throne without staining his hands with blood. Stepping on the bones of his enemies, killing without mercy, and using everyone around him. All of these had already been done by him.

Even his original name, Xu Jinhai, was already being forgotten. He was now forever known as the Great Demon King, the demon that ruled over all demons.

"For committing treason and fraud against your own sovereign, I hereby sentence you to death." His cold voice was flat, without any emotions. "Do you have any last words?"

The demon lord of lust slowly closed her eyes. She knew he was merciless and cruel. From the moment she had hatched this plan, she also prepared herself to face failure. Running away from punishment was futile. All of the demon world belonged to him, including their life and death.

There would be no escape for her.

She licked her lips and said, "No, Your Majesty. I was willing to risk everything to fight for my feelings for you one last time, including my life. Even if it ended up in failure, I'm already satisfied with this."

She was supposed to scheme against the child demon yesterday, but her plans were delayed because she learned that the Great Demon King had spent all of his time with her. She could only do it right before the wedding, when His Majesty was busy with all the preparations.

But Piencheng did not anticipate that he would make his right-hand man follow Song Jia. Wen Yu was more powerful than her, and could mask his presence completely.

The Great Demon King only ordered him for extremely important missions, so how could she know that His Majesty dispatched him to become a mere bodyguard for his bride?

"Your Majesty." Piencheng lifted her head, her lips evoking a helpless smile. "Being seduced to my own death, this kind of ending can be said to be very fitting for my sin. And dying by your hands...nothing pleases me more than this."

All the demon lords listening to her words blanked for a moment, and then thought, as expected of Piencheng. In fact, she was a very terrifying opponent. The reason for this was because she never attacked directly, instead hiding in the dark while manipulating their mind and emotions.

How many times she had incited demon lords to attack each other, all of them have already lost count since long ago. Looking at her right now, on the verge of being executed but still having the composure to say sweet words to the Great Demon King...

Perhaps, there would never be a lust demon lord as great as her again.

The Great Demon King's expression didn't change, treating her words as air. He raised his hand, about to kill her as painfully as possible...

When the double doors to the great hall were pushed open.

Song Jia slowly entered the hall, her entrance causing whispers to spread like wildfire across the room.

"Who is that?"

"A weak demon actually dared to enter the great hall so casually..."

"Who allowed a random demon to come in here? Aren't there guards stationed at the entrance?"

"His Majesty's in a bad mood too...I guess this one wants to court death."

"Who are you, which court did you come from, and how dare you interrupt His Majesty!"

Suddenly, an arrogant voice was heard above the whispered murmurs. Her fierce aura filled the hall with burning heat, as if their skin was about to melt.

Song Jia looked up. The one who spoke was Chuljang, the demon lord of wrath. She remembered that no one had seen her in her adult form yet, which was why nobody had recognized her. Even Yanluo was frowning with displeasure.

Some demons crossed their arms in front of their chests and waited to watch a good show. Their fear of the Great Demon King was relieved a little by seeing a demon weaker than them commit a large blunder.

"Chuljang, stand down. Everyone inside this hall, shut up, close your eyes, and face the wall."

The Great Demon King's voice was as cold as ice, resounding powerfully with an absolute command. Before Song Jia could understand the meaning behind his words, she saw all of the demons that gathered there obediently turn their faces towards the wall, not looking at her.

Song Jia was still wearing her torn night dress. Although it didn't expose too much of her legs, it was still a bit revealing.

The Great Demon King flicked his fingers, and all of the demons, including the dead bodies, vanished into thin air. It left the two of them alone inside the great hall, with all of the wedding decorations still in place.

The Great Demon King was the first one to break the silence between them, his voice sounding a little hoarse.

"Jia."
