How Can My Wife Be So Adorable Chapter 141 – The Demon King’s Familiar?
After saying that, Chen Xing held her with one hand and walked out of the pit with her in his arms. As they walked, he continued to comfort her, “Don’t cry, dear husband will perform a magic trick for you!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Zero suddenly burst into loud sobs!
Chen Xing was startled and looked down at her, only to see that she had transformed back into her original form. Tears streamed down her little face as she tightly clung to his clothes. Biting her lip and bowing her head, she leaned against his chest.
Chen Xing’s severed arm hurt him physically, but it hurt her emotionally.
“Wuwu… wu… Chen Xing… wuwu…”
Seeing this, he quickly comforted her in a soft voice, “It’s alright, don’t cry… Just close your eyes first, and then open them again, everything will be okay.”
He even lightly pinched her buttocks.
“Wu! Wuwu~…”
Zero was suddenly tickled by the pinch, and her crying took a twist due to the ticklish sensation. Chen Xing couldn’t help but laugh and pinched her a few more times.
“Sob!!”
Crying and squirming, Zero moved her face away from Chen Xing’s chest, her tear-filled eyes looking at him. She wanted to protest, but seeing him, she couldn’t bear to…
“Sob… Chen Xing…”
Chen Xing really wanted to pat her on the head, but unfortunately, his left arm was gone. He felt a bit frustrated and quickly walked out of the dusty pit, still holding Zero in his arms.
Outside, the demons standing there were panicking at the sight of Chen Xing and Zero coming out. What about Vol the Grand Swordsman? Was he dead?
Chen Xing glanced at the demons in front of him. With only one arm left and still carrying Zero, he didn’t want to put her down and draw his sword to deal with them. So, he casually said, “Get out of the way.”
Surprisingly, the demons in front of him really made way for them.
Chen Xing raised an eyebrow, not expecting them to be so obedient, and walked through the passage they cleared.
Wherever he went, they cleared a path for him. Chen Xing looked around but couldn’t find his arm. He was sure he saw it fall somewhere nearby.
He asked the demons around, “Uh, has anyone seen my arm?”
“Huh…?” Zero suddenly looked up at him with a puzzled expression, her eyes still wet with tears. She couldn’t understand this language.
Chen Xing looked down at her, asking, “What’s wrong?”
“Hmm… What are you talking about?”
“Haha… It’s nothing. I was asking them if anyone saw my arm.”
“Umm… Did they see it?”
At this moment, all the demons turned their gaze to one particular demon.
That demon suddenly began trembling in fear.
Following their gazes, Chen Xing also saw him.
All the demons took a step back, making way for the trembling demon.
???
Chen Xing asked, “You didn’t throw away my arm, did you?”
The trembling demon stammered, “No… I, uh… I ate it…”
Chen Xing: ???
“Say that again?”
“I… was a little hungry just now… I was really hungry!”
Chen Xing’s face instantly darkened. “You got hungry and ate my arm? You… What the heck…”
Zero couldn’t understand what they were saying, but seeing his expression, she had a bad feeling.
“Chen Xing, what’s wrong?”
“Oh, nothing. I’m asking them to help me find it.” Chen Xing didn’t dare to tell her that his arm had been eaten, or she would start crying again.
“Umm… Alright then, put me down, and I’ll help you look for it too…” Saying this, Zero wriggled out of his embrace.
With only one arm, Chen Xing couldn’t hold her securely, so he had to let her go.
Zero took a couple of steps forward, and the demons were frightened, quickly stepping back. They were very afraid of her – the one who had fiercely beaten Vol the Grand Swordmsman and was the Demon King’s familiar. Due to her identity, they were even more afraid of her than they were of Chen Xing.
“Oh…” Zero was also a bit scared and didn’t dare to move forward anymore.
Chen Xing said indifferently, “Kneel!”
As soon as he spoke, all the demons immediately dropped to their knees.
“Thud!”
“Umm…”
Terrified, Zero quickly retreated and ran back to Chen Xing, trying to grab his arm. But she looked down and found that his arm was missing!
“Whimper…” Her little mouth immediately pouted, and in her clear blue eyes, there seemed to be glistening liquid.
Chen Xing sighed helplessly and turned around, showing his arm to her, saying, “Here, it’s still here.”
“Wuu…” With tears streaming down her face, Zero quickly hugged Chen Xing’s arm, holding it tightly, afraid that it would disappear again.
Then she looked around, searching for his severed arm. Chen Xing helplessly glanced at the trembling demon from before. In his mind, he asked San’er, “Quickly restore it for me.”
【Restoring it will require one billion spirit points.】
“What? Are you robbing me?”
“Before, on the Assassin Star, it only needed a few tens of thousands of evolution points, right?”
【Back then, you still had your arm. Now you don’t have it anymore!】
“Fine, do it then.”
【However, there’s a way that doesn’t cost anything.】
“What is it?” As soon as Chen Xing heard it was free, he immediately chose that option.
【You let Zero release the Embrace of the Demon, and then you transform into a demon. Utilize demon blood to regrow your arm.】
“Is that possible?”
【After all, it’s a skill worth 100 million spirit points.】
“Alright, then let’s go back first and transform there.”
After saying that, Chen Xing told Zero about this plan.
Zero was astonished. “Can we really do that?”
Chen Xing nodded. “Of course!”
Upon hearing this, she grabbed his arm and said, “Then let’s go back quickly!”
Chen Xing smiled lightly. “Wait for me a moment.”
He took the knife and walked towards the demon that had knelt down and eaten his arm.
“How did it taste?” Chen Xing asked him.
At the same time, Zero was asking San’er, “San’er, can I learn the demon language too?”
【Oh, you can’t? Sorry, the permission wasn’t activated. Wait a moment…】
【Alright, it’s activated now!】
“Hehe, thanks.”
As soon as she could understand, she overheard the demon saying, “M-master! I was wrong! It didn’t taste good!”
“If it didn’t taste good, why did you eat it all?”
“Swish!” Chen Xing sliced him in half with a single stroke of the knife.
Zero walked over and asked, puzzled, “What did he eat?”
Chen Xing quickly shook his head. “It’s nothing.”
Then he turned to the demon next to him and asked, “Why did you capture her?”
“She’s the Familiar of the Great Demon King! When the Familiar of the Great Demon King wanders in the mortal world, it is our duty to bring her back to her homeland!”
Chen Xing couldn’t quite grasp what they were saying and asked, “What’s a Familiar?”
The demon looked at Zero. They were not sure if she was the Demon King’s Familiar before, but after seeing the black dark patterns on her, they were now certain. Those were unique to Familiars!
Therefore, their eyes were now filled with respect when they looked at Zero.
“Lifia Star Demon said that the Familiar is a divine envoy who can summon the Demon King and is also the Demon King’s wife!”
“As long as the Familiar is present, the Demon King can be summoned again! Summoning the Demon King back will restore our clan’s glory!”
Hearing this, Chen Xing’s face suddenly turned unpleasant.
Demon King? Wife is the Familiar?
Chen Xing knew what he had to do now!
He would wait for Zero to summon that Demon King and then chop him to pieces with a single stroke of his knife! Then he could become the Demon King! Who dared to snatch his wife?
“What does your Demon King look like? I can help you look for him!” (And then kill him when we find him!)
“We have portraits! Lifia Star Demon gave us two portrait paintings and predicted that today would be the day the Familiar appeared.”
Then he looked at the others. “Who has the portrait?”
“I have it!”
A demon quickly ran over and reached into his pants, fumbling…
Chen Xing: ???
In the next second, the demon pulled out a yellow and wrinkled piece of cloth.
Even from two meters away, Chen Xing frowned deeply, feeling disgusted. “Why did you put the portrait in your pants?”
“Cough… The Demon King is about to be reborn; it’s a secret, so we naturally hide it in a secret place. Everyone hides it like this!”
Chen Xing: “…”
Then the demon spread out the old, yellow piece of cloth. On it was a drawing of a demon covered in armor from head to toe.
The demon had horns on his head, much longer than the other demons, and the spiky armor all over its body looked very intimidating.
However, there was a yellow stain on the face of the drawing, which made Chen Xing a bit disgusted.
But somehow, this Demon King looked somewhat familiar!
“Isn’t this me?!” Chen Xing asked San’er.
Wasn’t this the form he took after becoming a demon?
【This…】
After all this, Chen Xing realized that he was the Demon King?
【But it’s not impossible that there are other demons with armor identical to yours. After all, it’s full-body armor.】
Chen Xing nodded without saying anything.
Then he looked at the huge void in the sky, which was the passage to the Demon Dimension!
“Don’t we need to do something about that?”
【No need to worry, it’s already closed. The passage to the Demon Dimension opens only for a short period, and it will close automatically. Otherwise, there might be even more powerful demons coming out and wipe you out!】
Chen Xing nodded, thinking that there should be no one left in the Forbidden Zone at this time.
He planned to leave these demons here for now; they might still be of some use if he truly became the Demon King. Besides, he couldn’t open the passage to the Demon Dimension to send them back. Otherwise, there might come out another demon of the same level as Vol, and Chen Xing wouldn’t be able to handle it.
Then he held Zero’s small hand and walked toward the exit of the Forbidden Zone.
Strangely enough, the remaining thousand or so demons also stood up and followed behind Chen Xing.
Chen Xing turned his head and looked at them, asking, “What are you all doing?”
“We will protect the Familiar of the Great Demon King and spare no effort in doing so!”
“Get lost, don’t follow us.” Chen Xing couldn’t let them follow!
These demons going to the Hua country area would create a huge shock in the world. An invasion by a new race, was that a joke? Chen Xing would surely be arrested by the government if they followed him.
