It was quiet.

The demons did not dare to breathe loudly. Their throats were dry and they could not speak.

This woman was horrifying, a million times more horrifying than the previous Silver Moon Demon King.

Plop!

Since they were too scared to speak, they could only use their body language.

The Black Boar Demon knelt to the ground. He feared that he would be made into an ice statue if he reacted too slowly.

Then, there were a lot of ‘plops’. The demons gave in and kneeled on the ground.

Only the Bear Demon and a few others remained standing.

Daji glanced at the Bear Demon with her pretty eyes. “What else do you have to say?”

At that moment, the Bear Demon felt as if his heart jumped out of his throat. He almost pissed himself.

The Bear Demon unfolded his hands in a sort of prayer as he plopped onto the ground. Then, he bowed.

“Don’t... don’t be mistaken.” The Bear Demon tried his best to force a friendly smile. He was already crying, “I had shaky feet and couldn’t move. I couldn’t control it at all but I’ll comply! My biggest strength is loyalty. Please, spare me.”

Daji looked away and her changed back to its original color. She waved at the Six-Tailed Fox. “Get over here.”

The Six-Tailed Fox hopped over and leaped into her arms. She said adoringly, “Sister, you’re awesome.”

Daji shook her head and said, “It was all thanks to my master’s help. Also, you benefit a lot from master, too. Also, you’re way too careless. You haven’t even grown out your seventh tail yet.”

“Hmph, sister will be here to rescue me anyway,” said the Six-Tailed Fox happily.

Daji shook her head and said, “You have more demon skills in you than you think. You’ll have to learn how to utilize it to your best capabilities. If there are any problems as the Demon King, you can come and find me.”

“Yeah,” Six-Tailed Fox nodded obediently.

Daji turned around and was about to leave. Suddenly, a light caught her eye.

She was startled. Then, she had an idea.

She turned around and looked at the light source!

The forest should be incredibly dark, but it was not. This was because the demons were holding torches and the place was full of fireflies!

Fireflies!

Among the fireflies, two of them were spirits. They were considered two tiny demons.

These two lead the fireflies, scattering across the forest to light up the night sky.

The Firefly Demons noticed her gaze. They shivered in fear.

They started trembling when Daji walked toward them. Their lights were flickering because they were afraid.

They wanted to flee but could not move an inch.

Daji smiled. She was slightly excited. She found...the light source for the lantern!

What was more suitable as a light source than the fireflies?

The two Firefly demons could provide light at all times. They could also control their brightness. More importantly...they could be voice-controlled!

Master loved voice-controlled items.

He would love this voice-controlled light source.

Daji patted herself on the back.

She said to the two tiny demons, “I have an opportunity for you two. Do you want it?”

Opportunity?

The two tiny demons were startled. They stared at Daji in disbelief. Then, they started shaking in excitement.

Opportunity from a bigshot. Holy crap!

They went blank. They tried reconfirming with her. “De—Demon King, are you serious?”

Daji smiled. She was pretty. “Why would I lie to you? If you do a good job and impress my master, it might be the breakthrough of your lifetimes.”

Master?

Breakthrough?

They were so ecstatic they could blow up. They were shining at maximum brightness.

The other eavesdropping demons were shocked and baffled.

The Nine-Tailed Fox had a master?

What kind of character would that be?

Incredible, unimaginable!

The word ‘breakthrough’ was more significant than ‘opportunity’ or ‘luck’.

Luck and opportunities were temporary.

Breakthroughs could change your life!

Breakthroughs were the biggest opportunity of one’s lifetime. It could change one’s fate!

Why would the Nine-Tailed Fox ever promise them that?

They did not know the reason but it did not stop them from being envious of the two tiny Firefly Demons.

The Firefly Demons only had their consciousness. What could they do? Why were they the ones chosen by the Nine-Tailed Fox?

‘What did I do wrong to not be chosen?’

Daji looked at the dumbfounded Firefly Demons. “Are you two willing to do it?”

“Yes, yes we are!” The two demons nodded continuously. They were feeling excited and touched.

They did not know why they were chosen by the Demon King, but they had to give it their best shot.

Daji nodded and ordered, “Pick thirty bright fireflies and come with me.”

They immediately replied, “Yes, ma’am!”

...

Daji brought the fireflies to the four-part architecture.

It was already daybreak.

Daji opened the bag in her hand and stared at the two tiny demons inside. She said in a serious tone, “Let me be clear with you again. From now on, I’m just an ordinary girl and you’re not demons, just an ordinary lighting tool! Also, most importantly, no matter what you see, no matter what you hear, you have to pretend to not understand it. My master loves roleplaying as an ordinary man, so you have to just go with it. Don’t ruin his mood! Otherwise...”

They felt her menace so they quickly nodded. “Got it, we got it!”

Daji nodded and walked into the four-part architecture slowly.

Li Nianfan was awake early as usual. He was doing some special movements.

The movements were soft and comforting. It did not look intimidating. It was kind of relaxing.

Daji observed him for a while before she shook her head.

Master said this enabled him to be strong and healthy so that he could live longer. It seemed extraordinary but she did not understand anything about it.
