Devil's Son-in-Law

Chapter 16: Hot Pot

Even under a sealed state, Athena couldn't rival with Paglio, so Athena couldn't bring out her full strength in the face of the poison dragon. However, her greatsword immediately showed amazing power when facing Ganke.

Athena hacked again with her blade's edge this time. In the midst of the sparks, Ganke's hammer was divided into two; his feet went deeper again. Athena controlled her strength precisely. After cutting the hammer, the greatsword stopped right above the centaur's head.

Chen Rui quickly went to Alice and whispered, then gave a basket to little loli.

"Get out of the way, you lesser demon. Call the coward, Alan out!" Athena wasn't stupid. She immediately guessed who was behind Ganke's action, then she slowly withdrew her sword.

Ganke felt a scary murderous vibe left from the top of his head. His head was full of cold sweat, knowing that Athena was already merciful. Otherwise, that horrifying strike would not only cut off the hammer. When he was petrified, there was a loud shout suddenly, "Stop!"

The one who spoke was actually Chen Rui. The human pointed at Ganke and spoke loudly, "Ganke, you are so daring to actually attack Master Athena! Her Royal Highness, Princess Alice haven't even spoken, yet you gave an order without permission. Do your eyes still have the little princess, Princess Royal, and the Lucifer Royal Family?"

"I didn't!" As Ganke heard Chen Rui said that he attacked Athena, he got nervous. It was Athena who attacked first. He quickly defended himself when Chen Rui mentioned the Lucifer Royal Family.

It was an awkward silence other than Alice's "crunching" noise while she bit the Jade Dragonfruit. She then said vaguely, "You attacked Athena? You don't even put my sister and me in your eyes!"

"I didn't! I did! I, I, I..." Ganke was shocked. He didn't know what to say at the moment. "Little princess, this human being is too deceitful. Don't believe him!"

"This man is indeed deceitful," Alice nodded. Just as Ganke rejoiced covertly, little loli's finger that was holding the Jade Dragonfruit pointed at Chen Rui and her tone changed. "But he is more reasonable than you."

It wasn't clear whether his words were reasonable or the Jade Dragonfruit was reasonable. Chen Rui seemed to think of a corrupt official in one of the joke. Anyway, it seemed that preparing Jade Dragonfruits for Alice was the wisest move.

"Chen Rui, looking at the fact that you didn't forget to pick some fruits for the princess while gathering herbs, I will forgive you this time," Alice looked at Ganke who was anxious and sweating. "Big guy, don't be silly. Tell Alan, if he wants to kill someone by my hand, he must be more reasonable than others."

More "reasonable"? That is an obvious bribe! It seemed that this little loli understood everything. She was just deliberately being unreasonable. Ganke noticed Alice didn't pursue, he quickly withdrew with his soldiers as if a pardon was granted. Chen Rui was happy that the Demon Realm was still relatively simpler. If it was the ancient time in his previous world, anyone could be simply convicted, it wasn't impossible for Ganke and his family to be exterminated.

"Let's go, Athena." Alice held Athena's arm intimately as if she had never been angry.

"Isn't Her Royal Highness blaming me for going out to play secretly?" Athena deliberately shook off Alice; her face looked unhappy. Seeing that, Kia covered her mouth and smiled at the side.
