Chapter 15: I Hear You Want to Seduce This King
The Demon King looked at Nan Xun with an inscrutable expression. He didn’t speak, and Nan Xun pressed her lips together and said nothing either.
Suddenly, the Demon King waved a hand toward the four behind her and said in a deep voice, “All of you, withdraw.”
Hong Chou wanted to say something, but Lan Shui and the others pulled her away and left together.
After all, she was just a human woman. Even if they felt some regret, they had no power to interfere. They could only hope that the Demon King was in a good mood today and might at least leave her a whole corpse.
Once everyone had withdrawn, the Demon King’s tall figure suddenly leaned forward, his dark silhouette completely enveloping Nan Xun.
Nan Xun instinctively took two steps back. “W-What are you doing?”
Only then did it dawn on her—yes, the man before her was a stunningly handsome beauty, but he was also the Demon King Little Eight had described as one who ate people without batting an eye!
Damn it—did she just say something she shouldn’t have?
“Now you know fear?” the Demon King sneered. His long arm shot out, hooking around her waist and pulling her tightly against him, as if with just a bit more force, he could snap her slender waist in two.
Her mind going blank, Nan Xun hurriedly raised both arms and wrapped them around his neck, hugging him just as tightly. She even nodded dumbly and blurted out a single word, “Afraid.”
The Demon King’s body stiffened slightly, and the look in his eyes grew even darker.
“You’re afraid, yet you still dare provoke me, hmm?” The man spoke again, the corners of his lips lifting slightly into a mesmerizing curve.
“I was just telling the truth. If it made you angry, I won’t say those things again. Could you… not eat me?” Nan Xun looked at him, her small face pitiful.
“If you fear this king so much, why are you still holding onto my neck?” The man’s calm words carried a faint, barely perceptible hint of amusement.
Very faint. Very shallow. Gone in an instant.
Nan Xun tightened her grip around his neck even more, her voice trembling slightly. “If I hold on tightly, then when you eat me later, I won’t see what you look like while eating me. And maybe I can even take the chance to bite your neck.”
That reason was truly enough to make one laugh despite themselves.
“Rest assured, I won’t eat you for now,” the Demon King said, raising his brows slightly.
But Nan Xun caught the word for now—so sooner or later, he still planned to eat her?
Fear crept into her heart. She tried desperately to call out to Little Eight, but that coward didn’t dare make a sound.
She quickly buried her face in the man’s neck, baring a row of small white teeth and grinding them there. “Fine then. When you plan to eat me, please give me some advance notice. I’ll bite you a few times first. You see, I don’t like suffering losses.”
The Demon King stared at the woman for a long time. Feeling the warm breaths brushing against his neck in little bursts, his eyes gradually darkened.
His gaze drifted downward, landing on the woman’s shapely figure, and his eyes narrowed involuntarily.
Nan Xun gave a dry laugh and tried to change the subject. “So, how is it? My figure’s not bad, right?”
The Demon King suddenly tightened his arm, his blood-red eyes locking onto Nan Xun. “You woman are truly…”
Clearly terrified of him to death, yet she clung to him even more tightly.
He couldn’t see through this woman.
Nan Xun hugged his neck, looking into those crystalline crimson eyes. For some reason, her whole body relaxed. Then she suddenly curved her brows and eyes into a smile and said, “They say you look fierce and monstrous, with three heads and six arms. When I first learned I was to marry you, I was really scared. I never imagined you’d be so handsome. If I’m going to die sooner or later, I’m actually not that afraid anymore.”
The Demon King didn’t expose her earlier attempt to flee the marriage. He looked at her quietly for a moment, then suddenly said, “I hear… you want to seduce this king? I’m right here now—so tell me, how exactly do you plan to seduce me?”
