The Demon Emperor was Saint Emperor

Chapter 110: Holding Hands

Slurp~~

Lynn instinctively licked his inexplicably dry lips, then carefully folded the black and white silk stockings and put them away.

He suddenly thought of Little Yuna, and planned to use her dog’s nose to identify which socks were worn before and which were new ones when he returned.

After all, there were so many stockings in the ring that he needed to categorize them. The worn ones were for collection, while the new ones were to be turned into worn ones and then collected...

And these stockings came in a vast array, with seven different colors, and countless styles, making it easy for one’s selection to become overwhelming without categorization.

But it wasn’t much of a problem. Personally, he only liked black and white stockings; any other colors were seen as heretical in his eyes and should be scorned!

As for styles, which leg shape best fits which style, he needed to conduct comparative experiments before savoring the results.

Of course, the precious ring wasn’t just filled with stockings, but also black and white silk gloves, lingerie, bikinis, eye masks, high heels, leg rings, maid costumes, fluffy tail ornaments or plugins, whips, little candles...

In short, there was a variety of bizarre items, an entire treasure trove fitting the Lust Demon Kingdom’s essence. As for those top-grade equipment, rare resources, natural treasures, etc., they were merely fillers and not worth mentioning.

Just when Lynn was immersed in exploring and discovering treasures within the ring, there was movement by the temporary space portal nearby, startling him into sitting upright. Luckily, he hadn’t started taking everything out for appreciation; otherwise, if Catherine saw them ahead of time, it would not be good.

"Eh? Lynn, did you come back early? Did you find anything?"

Passing through the temporary space portal, Catherine immediately saw Lynn sitting upright on the ground, his face displaying a serious expression, suggesting he had discovered something valuable.

"Oh, not far from here, there’s a Demon army base. I broke in and took down their leader, capturing this."

The righteous partner Lynn spoke as he pulled out an old-looking Demon Realm map, yet its intricate details were comparable to a military map. Although the intricate parts were limited to one Demon Kingdom, it was the first exploration data of the mysterious and unknown Demon Realm for the entire Miracle World.

"Just as expected of you, effortlessly accomplishing what no one else could."

Spreading the map on the ground and inspecting it thoroughly, Catherine exclaimed with bright eyes.

Don’t dismiss it as merely a Demon Realm map; in an ordinary person’s hands, it might not even be worth a sack of wheat. But giving it to a frontline combat troop... uh, it might still not be very useful, at least not for now, since they don’t have the strength to fight their way into the Demon Realm...

Currently, Divine Protection Continent is temporarily peaceful, Divine Protection Continent is still confronting Demons across the Snow Mountains, and Divine Abandonment Continent—ancestral ground of the united forces—hasn’t been tread upon for millennia. They can’t even reclaim the occupied Divine Protection Continent or take back Divine Abandonment Continent’s ancestral ground. What’s the use of having a detailed Demon Realm map for all Seven Great Demon Kingdoms?

"Let’s not worry for now; take it back, make copies, and send them to the frontline as well as the Saint Emperors—I’m sure it’ll be useful..."

While rolling up the map, Catherine muttered to herself.

"Hmm? Why does this map smell fragrant? Lynn, where did you capture it from? Was the Demon army leader an Enchanting Demon?"

While tidying up the map, Catherine suddenly detected a peculiar scent. The aroma, though faint, could easily be overlooked if not noticed; but once smelled, it was utterly enthralling. She barely inhaled a sniff, and already felt slightly feverish.

"Yes, indeed a 700-plus Great Demon Level Enchanting Demon, but I didn’t spare her a glance—straight away dispatched her without mercy!"

Lynn calmly replied, not even blinking, portraying an aura akin to the Saint Emperor of Light, embodying worldly justice, the nemesis of all evil entities.

Seeing Lynn in this perfectly upright... uh, exactly Uncle-like posture, she dismissed her doubts.

After all, she hadn’t been gone long; Lynn had already returned. He probably hadn’t the time for anything else unless he were all flash and no substance—satisfied so quickly...

If that were the case, marrying him would be inconvenient... uh, what am I thinking? I never intended to marry him anyway!

After putting away the map, Catherine suddenly slapped her cheeks firmly, suppressing the inexplicable thoughts, then turned back to Lynn.

"It’s getting late; let’s leave here first. The space portal has become unstable and may close within an hour. Let’s head back to guard until it disappears and then return to the city."

With that said, Catherine instinctively extended her hand to Lynn, catching him completely off guard. She hadn’t noticed anything off when Lynn took her hand directly.

"Let’s go home."

Grabbing his dear wife’s soft hand, Lynn cheerfully led her through the space portal.

Yet Catherine was stunned when Lynn held her hand. She had become somewhat muddled, mistakenly regarding Lynn as Sifrin and instinctively extended her hand. She didn’t expect Lynn to climb the ladder so adeptly—not hesitating to catch her hand, leaving her more confused.

"Oh... okay."

Since her hand was already caught, retracting it deliberately would seem too distant. Lynn, after all, was her great benefactor, and the mistake was hers alone—she couldn’t blame him. He was merely quick-handed; what fault did he have?

In this manner, hand in hand, they passed through the space portal, like a couple in love, never willing to part.

Feeling a dizzying swirl, they returned from the wilderness they were in.

"You’re back... eh, quite loving, aren’t you~"

The moment they emerged, a white figure flashed, and the carefree Saintess of Light greeted them directly. Upon seeing their unwilling-to-part big and small hands, Sifrin whistled, unable to resist a tease.

"Mind your own business!"

Catherine immediately found an excuse, angrily releasing the hand and began playfully tussling with Sifrin.

Lynn merely watched the two charming beauties frolicking beside him, suddenly feeling that the air had become fresher since leaving the Demon Realm.

One was his dear wife, the other a silly... uh, quirky little sister-in-law. Watching their joyous laughter was more entertaining than fighting monsters. If only he could partake, if they invited him to join, life would be even more delightful.
