Chapter 5: Leng Xiao's Visit!
A spectrum of emotions, visible only to Lin Ze, silently peeled off from the body of the Devil God of Love, Sidi.
It poured into Lin Ze's body.
The hunger that surged like a tide slowly faded. More than that, Lin Ze felt the soreness and fatigue from training quickly wash away.
Even his spirit was recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye.
What Lin Ze devoured just now was the "love" emotion among the seven emotions of the Devil God of Love.
"Love" was broad in scope—not just romantic love. Even affection for a pet, admiration for a person, or a gentle attachment to something could all fall under this emotion.
This was something Sidi had personally explained to Lin Ze: Only after he could steadily absorb "lust" would she permit him to devour the other emotions.
She had her reasons.
What demons craved the most was love.
And Sidi herself had her own goal—what she sought was ultimate desire. She needed Lin Ze to grow, mature, and devour the excess emotions in her heart, leaving only one pure thread of desire behind.
Only then could she feel the extreme emotion hidden within and comprehend the Law of Desire—a qualitative breakthrough.
In the demon clan, strength was the only standard that mattered.
Luckily, Lin Ze's appetite wasn't yet powerful enough to devour a full emotion entirely. For now, he could only absorb a sliver of Sidi's "lust."
"Sister Sidi, I'm full." Lin Ze looked up at her, eyes clear and satisfied.
Sidi, who had lost a portion of her lust, now had a much more indifferent look in her eyes.
She gently set Lin Ze down and said in a cold tone,
"I'll say it again—call me sir!"
Although Lin Ze still felt confused about it, he nodded obediently.
"Do you remember what I told you before?" Sidi asked.
"Yes, I remember. When I'm outside, I won't let myself go hungry, and I won't devour anyone's lust in front of others…"
"Good. Go prepare yourself. Later, His Majesty's confidant will arrive to confirm the list of Demon God successors for the assessment in two years. Come to the main hall when you're ready."
Lin Ze nodded and left for his room.
Later, with Xiao Yun's help, Lin Ze was dressed neatly. Though only five years old, his features had matured early, and his elegant robes gave him a striking, noble aura.
Even now, he exuded a surprising sense of masculinity and charm—his refined features made him look like a born noble child.
Half an hour later, the maid brought him to the grand hall of the Palace of the Love Demon God.
---
Inside the main hall, Sidi was seated on her elegant black throne. Below her stood the Demon God King's envoy—the one she had mentioned earlier.
There were two guests.
Or more accurately: two dragons.
The man had short yellow hair, was tall with a long face, and wore a black robe. Most noticeable were the two curved dragon horns on his head.
Beside him stood a young girl, a few years older than Lin Ze, in a bright red dress.
She looked around curiously with large, shining eyes that glowed with youthful innocence. Her every move gave off a lively, unrestrained energy.
Even in front of Sidi—the twelfth pillar of the Demon Gods—she showed no fear.
In contrast, the yellow-haired man seemed rather tense, his gaze never rising to meet Sidi's.
Seeing the girl's relaxed behavior, he whispered nervously,
"Your Highness Leng Xiao, you mustn't look directly into the eyes of the Love Demon God."
"Why not?" the girl named Leng Xiao asked curiously.
The man hesitated before replying,
"The Love Demon God is adept at seduction and illusions. Even those of equal strength can be charmed or influenced just by looking into her eyes."
"Even someone like me…"
He didn't finish the sentence, but his tone said enough.
Leng Xiao's eyes sparkled in surprise. This yellow-haired man was Huang Shuo, the Emperor's personal guard—a mighty Heaven-Defying Demon Dragon at the ninth rank.
And even he was wary of Sidi's gaze?
The more she heard, the more curious Leng Xiao became.
Before Huang Shuo could stop her, she had already locked eyes with Sidi.
"So beautiful~"
That was the first thought that flashed through Leng Xiao's mind.
Sidi's very presence radiated elegance, charm, and a quiet, terrifying strength.
"Lord Sidi, I greet you on behalf of the Emperor." Leng Xiao bowed politely.
"Princess Leng Xiao, you are too courteous. Please, sit. The little one should be arriving shortly."
"Mhm." Leng Xiao nodded casually and sat down.
Inside, she was growing increasingly curious about Sidi's chosen successor.
After all, the Love Demon God was not only one of the most powerful demon gods but also one of the few females in that rank.
Surely her successor wouldn't be ordinary.
She quietly made up her mind: she was going to test this successor herself.
Beside her, Huang Shuo breathed a sigh of relief.
He was glad he had brought Princess Leng Xiao along. Had he come alone, communicating with Sidi would have been… difficult.
Everyone knew Sidi despised men—countless male demons had died at her hands over the years.
Most of them had been seduced by her beauty and tried something foolish.
But it wasn't their fault. After all, the Love Demon God cultivated lust, and every aspect of her aura amplified male desire.
At this time, a maid entered with Lin Ze.
"Lord Sidi, I've brought Young Master Lin Ze." Xiao Yun bowed politely.
"Very well. You may go." Sidi gave Lin Ze a glance before turning her attention to Huang Shuo.
"Huang Shuo, begin. If you have any questions, ask."
Huang Shuo turned—and froze.
The Love Demon God's successor… was human?
Not only that—he had no demonic aura at all. He was completely human in origin!
"Human?" Huang Shuo frowned deeply.
Lin Ze met his gaze and replied calmly:
"What? Is that a problem?"
"Problem? That's a huge problem! Never in the history of the demon clan has a human been chosen as the successor of a Demon Pillar!"
He turned to Sidi, his voice laced with disbelief.
"Lord Sidi… are you sure this is your successor?"
Sidi's voice remained cold and indifferent.
"Is there a rule that says the successor must be a demon?"
