The Demon Emperor was Saint Emperor

Chapter 153: A Man’s Every Dream

The Greed Demon King was more considerate. Seeing His Majesty the Demon Emperor slightly tempted, she immediately batted her eyes at him. After all, she was essentially a backup consort of the Late Emperor Demon Dragon Emperor, and now with a new emperor, still from the Demon Dragon Race, wouldn’t it be wise for her to quietly remain an imperial consort, or even strive for the position of Demon Queen?

Of course, if we’re talking about the most considerate, it has to be the Proud Demon King.

Distant demons might not know, but the powerful demons nearby witnessed with their own eyes the overwhelming intent of the Demon Emperor shooting out of the Proud Demon King’s sleeping quarters, then dyeing the sky crimson.

Look at her, directly sharing a bed with His Majesty the Demon Emperor first, only announcing the imperial decree afterward—doesn’t that surpass the Lust Demon King by a mile?

No wonder she’s the head of the Seven Great Demon Kings. This ranking isn’t just a hereditary position; she truly has the strength and boldness needed, decisively giving when it’s time.

...

Subsequently, powerful demons from farther distances gradually arrived at the Demon Emperor Palace. Among them, inevitably, were some unruly individuals, mostly from the Proud Demon Kingdom. Lynn emphasized fairness and justice, giving those openly defiant or rebellious an ultimate farewell.

Initially, there was only one headless corpse lying outside the Golden Hall, then two, and three, eventually increasing to five before things finally settled down.

Seeing those five corpses, each with a different death pose but all of significant strength and status, even the most arrogant among demons forced themselves to temporarily learn humility.

Failing to learn meant death; the new Demon Emperor spared no one’s dignity. Among those five corpses was one belonging to the current Proud Demon King’s uncle, a formidable being at level 850, ranked among the top five in the Proud Demon Kingdom.

Before Illidan Demon Emperor made his ruthless move, the Proud Demon King pleaded for her uncle’s life, but still ended up with a cold body killed thrice in resistance.

Even a peak Great Demon at level 850 was like an ant under Illidan Demon Emperor’s hands. Even with a Substitute Death Demon Artifact and Instant Blood Escape, they couldn’t escape his grasp. Few present could even glimpse his form as he swiftly captured the fleeing rebel.

For the Proud Demon King’s plea, Illidan Demon Emperor fined her a tribute triple the norm, so the Proud Palace might endure hard times for several years.

Perhaps it was Illidan Demon Emperor’s lust for her beauty preventing him from executing her, otherwise with his indiscriminate nature towards demon slaying, there’s no guarantee he wouldn’t replace the Proud Demon King on the spot.

As time went on, more and more powerful demons gathered in the Golden Hall. Fortunately, the grandiose style of the Demon Emperor Palace surpassed that of the Celestial Destiny Imperial Palace, and the number of demon strong enough to receive the Demon Emperor’s decree wasn’t overwhelmingly large, making the space sufficient for them all.

With only half an hour remaining until the deadline set by Lynn, most of those summoned had arrived, including the Envious Demon King and Furious Demon King from the far end of the Proud Demon Kingdom.

With six of the Seven Great Demon Kings present, only the Sloth Demon King was absent. Given her title, her tardiness was typical; arriving early would have seemed suspicious, as if she compromised her nature just to meet the new Demon Emperor.

Apart from eliminating rebellious dissenters, Lynn sat steadily on the throne, only nodding at the Envious and Furious Demon Kings in acknowledgment when they saluted him, allowing himself a double-take in their direction.

Who wouldn’t glance twice when these two renowned demon kings appeared together?

The unmistakable clash of red and green when standing together rendered them quite comical.

The Envious Demon King, a beautiful young maiden with long green hair, could easily be mistaken for an Elf maiden if not for the demon horn on her forehead, so concretely exquisite she was, yet always wearing a foul expression, even towards him, the new Demon Emperor.

Was she envious of his ascension to the Demon Emperor’s throne?

It didn’t seem like it. While whispering among the other demons, she’d glance at him then at Ilya.

Was she envious of his good relationship with Ilya? How absurd, pretending like Ilya hadn’t coordinated with her beforehand; her performance was genuinely convincing, as if playing herself.

The Furious Demon King, with fiery short red hair, looked like a blaze burning atop her head at any moment. Her demeanor radiated constant anger, capable of igniting at a moment’s notice.

Because her hair was shorter than the other demon kings’—just touching her earlobes—she exuded less feminine charm and carried a hint of boldness. But her equally exquisite facial template transformed that hint of boldness into a distinctive allure rather than a masculine note.

It’s a pity that her nature matched her name; despite her breathtaking beauty and unique poise, an ominous aura emanated from her that Lynn felt made her harder to approach than the Lust Demon King, more difficult to deal with than the Proud Demon King.

Nevertheless, the sequential appearance of each of the six demon kings warranted Lynn’s admiration, as they each had distinct appearance and charm but shared the common trait of possessing beauty comparable to his wife.

To earn such a title from Lynn, they weren’t just ordinary beauties. Having witnessed the modern internet’s ways, with countless high-resolution, filtered beauties across the globe, just what level of beauty would earn his epithet of "wife"?

Xiya, Vivian, Catherine were undisputed; a top-tier Elf, Celestial Destiny Empire’s top beauty, and a revered wife among billions of players. Any one of them was a stunner.

Even Helena and Natasha, the ones he accepted from their meek pursuits, were first-class beauties, or else he wouldn’t have graciously accepted them.

Now, beauties on par with his wife could be easily gathered in the Demon Realm—the six present, with the seventh likely no less stunning. This place indeed seemed blessed with exceptional beauty... er, a haven of demonic talent.

No wonder the Demon Dragon Emperor appointed them as successors to the demon kings. If he were the Demon Dragon Emperor, he’d choose them too, waiting until the original seven great demon kings stepped down or perished, then absorbing the new seven into his harem—a true harvest of power and beauty.

Oh, and seven demon kingdoms’ private wealth too. That would be a tripartite gain of power, wealth, and beauty—a man’s ultimate dream realized in an instant—truly delightful...
