Chapter 51

Ye Lixiao was infatuated with women, no, he was infatuated with only one person: Xing Luo. For her, Ye Lixiao dismissed his harem, sending all those women back to their families to go their own ways.
Strictly speaking, those women couldn’t even be called members of a harem, because Ye Lixiao had never touched any of them. They were more like palace candidates, potential consorts. Now that they had all been sent away, it wouldn’t affect their future marriages.
At present, there was only one woman in the entire Demon Palace: Xing Luo.
Ye Lixiao ignored everyone else’s advice and directly appointed Xing Luo as Queen! Moreover, he even brought her to court with him, openly showing affection without any restraint!
To the civil officials, this woman was a disaster for the court.
If this continued, Ye Lixiao would inevitably become a ruler blinded by beauty.
Among the civil officials, the Left Chancellor and Right Chancellor reacted most strongly.
Their daughters had been reverted to their original forms because of Xing Luo. Although they weren’t sold at the marketplace and were properly cared for at home, regaining their original forms was extremely difficult. They also wouldn’t retain any past memories and would have to start their lives over entirely.
Seeing Ye Lixiao and Xing Luo so sweet together, the Left and Right Chancellors groaned in despair.
The Left Chancellor shook his head, sighing: “His Majesty has been seduced by beauty and lost his mind. A little demoness, how could she possibly be worthy to be Queen of the Demon Realm?”
The Right Chancellor echoed: “Yes, this little demoness is unworthy of the queen’s position. His Majesty is clearly foolish.”
Xing Luo, sitting in Ye Lixiao’s arms, perked up her ears. Those two old fools thought she couldn’t hear them, didn’t they?
Xing Luo coldly glared at them, her voice dark and icy as she spoke: “I’m unworthy to be Queen? Hah. Such arrogance. Am I, the mighty Demon Queen, not capable of being your ruler?”
The moment she spoke, she released a terrifyingly oppressive aura that sent chills through the hall, the temperature instantly dropped.
What?!
The Left and Right Chancellors and all the officials’ faces changed, a sudden urge to kneel overwhelming them.
Xing Luo was just a cat demon, wasn’t she? How could she possess such a dreadful aura?
They had only ever felt such intense pressure when facing Ye Lixiao himself.
And Xing Luo had said she was the Demon Queen?!
Everyone had heard that the Demon Queen had been reborn, but no one expected that Ye Lixiao’s Queen would actually be the reborn Demon Queen, Xing Luo.
Having felt her aura, no one doubted her identity. Only the Demon Queen could be this terrifying.
The Left and Right Chancellors’ expressions turned extremely ugly. Their daughters had offended the reborn Demon Queen?! Then being reverted to their original forms was well deserved.
Ye Lixiao gently patted Xing Luo’s back, soothing her in a soft voice: “Luo’er, don’t be angry. Whoever upset you, I’ll deal with them.”
Everyone else: “What a foolish ruler!!”
Xing Luo reined in her aura and obediently snuggled into Ye Lixiao’s arms, showing none of the Demon Queen’s demeanor. She said coquettishly, “Whoever doesn’t acknowledge me as Queen, just strike them down~”
“All right, I’ll listen to you,” Ye Lixiao replied, his gaze darkly sweeping over them.
“Long live the King! Long live the Queen!” The officials were smart enough to immediately kneel and salute; they fully recognized this Queen.
The Left and Right Chancellors were no exception. They had been blind before! How could Xing Luo be unworthy of Ye Lixiao?
One was the Demon King, the other the Demon Queen, they were truly a match made in heaven!
Perfectly matched!
