Finally, he bowed deeply, very deeply, to Zhou Ye.
With this bow, he relinquished his dignity as a demon king.
They put aside the pride of the Gimonli family.
He let go of all the pride that comes with being a strong person.
He wasn't worshipping his brother-in-law.
Instead, it is a god who can save their entire race...
As for the "Second Right Heart Technology," it was tacitly left unmentioned, and we'll see how effective the "Mother and Daughter River Water" is first.
Chapter 250 Caution is the best policy
Sazex's dramatic bow brought an end to this welcoming ceremony, which was filled with political maneuvering and family probing.
The banquet hall at the Guimony mansion is both luxurious and classical.
The long dining table was filled with delicacies unique to the underworld, each dish imbued with pure magic.
Zhou Ye, on the other hand, ate with great relish. To him, these were just special dishes to change things up.
But the girls around him reacted in different ways.
Kasumigaoka Utaha poked at a wriggling, purple jelly-like food with her fork and whispered to Utaha next to her, "If we sold this thing in the human world, wouldn't that be considered smuggling a rare species?"
Nami cut off a small piece without changing her expression and put it in her mouth: "The texture is similar to top-grade caviar, but the energy activity is too high. I suggest applying for a patent and developing it into a high-end beauty food, targeting high-class ladies, but nowadays, we are not so eager for worldly money."
Saeko Busujima showed no interest in the food; her attention was entirely focused on the Gremory family guards standing ramrod straight in the corner of the banquet hall.
"The form is good, but unfortunately, it's all just for show." She wiped her knife and muttered to herself, "The killing intent isn't refined enough, and there are too many flaws."
On the other side, Rias was restless.
She felt like she was being roasted over a fire, especially with her mother Vinilana's suggestive and encouraging expression, which kept her cheeks burning.
Halfway through the banquet, Vinilana finally found her chance.
She gracefully wiped her mouth with a napkin and said softly to Rias, "Rias, come with me for a moment."
Rias froze, looking to Zhou Ye for help.
Zhou Ye gave her a reassuring look and nodded.
The mother and daughter went to a secluded balcony.
“Mom…” Rias lowered her head, like a child who had done something wrong.
“Rias.” Vinilana showed no reproach, taking her daughter’s hand and asking earnestly, “What do you think of Ye Jun?”
“He…he’s fine.” Rias’s voice was barely a whisper.
“Not just good, it’s too good.” Vinilana hit the nail on the head. “It’s better than any of us could have imagined. Whether it’s his strength or the dowry he offered, either one of them is enough to change the entire landscape of the Underworld.”
She paused, then emphasized her words.
“A man like that will have extremely fierce competition for the positions around him. You’ve seen it, none of the girls he brings along are easy to deal with.”
"Mom, they are all my sisters..."
“Silly child!” Vinilana interrupted her with 013, “In a large family, the most brutal battlefield is between sisters! I’m not asking you to be the villain, but you must hold onto your place!”
Vinilana cupped her daughter's flushed cheeks and said, word by word, "As soon as possible, give him a child. A child with the blood of Gremory and Zhou Ye!"
"This is not only your responsibility, but also your strongest shield and sharpest weapon in this invisible war!"
"Think about that good-for-nothing Riesel Phoenix. If Ye Jun hadn't shown up, what would you be like now?"
"My child, I don't ask you to fight for power or gain. I only ask that you can live a peaceful and stable life and find the happiness that is rightfully yours."
Rias's body trembled slightly.
Her mother's words were like a key, unlocking the most pressing issues she had been deliberately avoiding.
She was no longer the little princess protected under the wings of her brother and family.
She is Zhou Ye's woman.
She must fight for her future and for her love.
“Mom…” Rias’s cheeks were so red they could bleed. “I…I understand.”
……
at the same time.
In the underworld, inside a secret research institute directly under the jurisdiction of the current Demon King Lucifer.
The atmosphere was extremely tense.
Sazex personally oversaw the operation, while Achukabesib adjusted various monitoring instruments, his expression more solemn than ever before.
Before them stood ten demon couples, chosen from pure-blood nobles, suffering greatly from infertility.
They looked at the white jade bottle in Sazex's hand, their expressions filled with doubt, unease, and a hint of suppressed desire.
"Can you get pregnant just by drinking a sip of water?"
"My Lord Demon King, this isn't some kind of malevolent curse, is it?"
"I've heard of similar dark magic in ancient times, but the price was..."
"Shut up, all of you!" Sazex snapped, silencing all the murmurs.
His imposing presence instantly silenced the crowd.
“This is an order,” Sazex said emotionlessly. “It is also an opportunity. You should know what it means if you succeed.”
The ten couples exchanged glances, and in each other's faces they saw struggle.
Finally, a baron who appeared to be of the lowest rank gritted his teeth and nudged his wife.
"Drink up. Anyway... we can't get any worse off than we are now."
His wife, her hands trembling, took a small cup from Sazex, which contained only a tiny amount of clear river water.
She closed her eyes and drank it all in one gulp.
one second.
two seconds.
ten seconds.
Nothing happened.
Just when everyone thought it was a joke, and even Sazex's heart began to sink.
"what!"
The female demon suddenly gasped, clutching her lower abdomen with an expression of disbelief on her face.
"What's wrong?!" her husband asked anxiously.
"I...I feel...something...very warm..."
"Quick! Test!" Achuka yelled at the researcher next to him.
A sophisticated instrument was immediately aimed at the female demon's abdomen.
On the screen, green dots representing life energy appeared instantly from nothing!
Furthermore, it is rapidly increasing at a speed visible to the naked eye!
"My God!" The researcher in charge of the operation screamed as if he had seen a ghost. "Life signs! Stable life signs! Cells are dividing and recombining at high speed! The embryo... the embryo has begun to take shape!"
boom!
The entire research institute was in an uproar.
The remaining nine couples, without the slightest hesitation, rushed forward like madmen, vying to drink the holy water from the bottle.
"I'll come first!"
"Get out of the way! This is the hope for our family's revival!"
The scene got out of control for a while.
Sazex had to unleash his demon-king-level aura to subdue the group of bloodthirsty demons.
Half an hour later.
All ten female demons, without exception, were found to be pregnant.
Moreover, the vital signs of the fetus in her womb were incredibly strong!
"Reporting to the Demon King!" Achuka held a newly printed report, his hands trembling and his voice shaking. "According to preliminary calculations, the fetus is developing at a rate dozens of times faster than a normal demon! It is estimated... estimated that it will be born successfully in at most ten days!"
"Moreover...moreover, the bloodline purity test...it's 100% pure blood! Without any impurities!"
"Gudong."
Sazex swallowed hard.
He looked at the report in his hand, then at the jade bottle that was already half-empty.
He knew that a brand new era had been forcibly ushered in by that man in the most brutal and unreasonable way.
The demon will no longer be troubled by its few offspring.
Although the vast majority of babies born will be female, what does it matter?
Purebred is enough!
It's a million times better than those mixed-blood demons and non-pure-blooded demons transformed from demon pieces!
Sazex immediately dialed his father Geoticus's number.
"Father……"
His voice was filled with barely suppressed ecstasy and trembling.
"Success."
"Our Gremory family... no, the entire Underworld, is saved!"
