Chapter 64: The Fall of the Empire (3)
"What?! Xiao Ai, are you going back?! β
Erlie covered her ears, and several of the maids in the library heard the screams, and were so frightened that they accidentally threw out the big books in their hands.
The two had just discussed the Empire's coup d'Γ©tat, the news gap, and the perception of misinformation, and Shenqi felt that Ellie's intuition was very good, in other words, rational analysis could not keep up with the emotional one.
However, after discussing this, Erli took the opportunity to say her thoughts, but when she said it, Shenqi couldn't hold back.
"No, little love! Your strength can't deal with those priests, even if it's the Zoroastrian priests on the Persian side, you still can't beat them if there are too many of them!
Stay with your mom first, and when you grow up, let's talk about it, okay? β
The first time Shenqi spoke to her so "harshly", Erli was also a little flustered, and just said resignedly.
"Mother... Mother... I want to go back, there are still my friends there..."
"Okay, but I'm going to send someone with you.
No, I'll go with you, there shouldn't be anything wrong without me here. Those people don't know you very well, either. β
To Ellie's surprise, Shenqi jumped straight to the next stage she had expected, and she thought she would have to spend a lot of time on this issue.
As for Shenqi... After seeing the reaction of his lovely daughter, he ignored his answer just now without hesitation, and directly thought about how he and Erli got to Yamato's side. So, Erli hurriedly persuaded Shenqi.
ββ¦ Mother, isn't that right? β
"What could be so bad? Just leave it all to Yumeko! β
Shenqi said, puffing up his chest, feeling that this thing could definitely be done. As long as you can avoid the people in the demon world, you can run out without permission, and as for the rest of the matter, then let's talk about it at that time.
But...
"Shenqi-sama, did I hear anything just now?"
"Huh?"
Shenqi turned her head under the expression of "I wish you good health" on Erli's face, and Yumeko looked at Shenqi with a smile, just in the warm sunshine, but the person shone in the sun, like a goddess descending.
It all looked good, as long as she didn't have a sword in her hand.
"That, little love, mom has some things to deal with, stay here. Yumeko, I'm going to the main hall. β
After speaking, regardless of the expressions of these two people, they just pulled their legs and left.
"Miss, can you please stay here? I'll ask Shenqi-sama to talk to you about specific matters. β
She deliberately bit the word "please" hard, and as for the eldest lady of the demon world, she naturally wouldn't ignore the situation and sit here obediently.
ββ¦ Good. β
"It's rude, Miss."
After saying that, Yumeko picked up the long sword and chased after him. Everyone present shook their heads, and the maids quickly packed up the bookshelves and left the place early.
Erri pulled her long hair back and picked out a random book, waiting for them to return. It has written about the identification of some monsters, which is very useful for outsiders who want to know more about the demon world. It's just that here in Shenqi, I can't figure out the meaning of existence, maybe it's for revision.
It was an hour later, when Elle was almost asleep on her book because of the warmth, that the two of them walked back. Shenqi walked ahead with teary eyes, and Yumeko followed her with two glasses of juice on a plate.
"Mother-sama, Yumeko."
"Little Love, !!"
Without saying anything, the great and majestic Lord of the Demon Realm directly pounced on the elegant and majestic Demon Princess, and Wow Wow burst into tears.
"Mom wants to go over with you~~~! Ke Yumeko is really bad~~! She... She actually banned my feet for a month, little love!!
Little love!!! β
"Mother... Shrewd... Good job..."
This situation is no longer strange, when the god Qi is playing tricks, Erli will coax her. This mother who picked up really doesn't look like a mother, basically whatever Erli says, Shenqi will agree.
"Lord Shenqi, even if you persuade the eldest lady to let you go, I will never let you go out, please take the responsibility of the Lord of the Demon Realm, instead of pushing these things to the subordinates.
And also... Lord Shinki, please pay attention to your image. β
As she spoke, two glasses of juice were placed on the table, and she put the plate away and squinted at Shenqi.
Shenqi was so stunned that she had to shrink into her chair and pick up the juice.
ββ¦ Yumeko, can't you just let me relax? β
"It is my duty to assist you, Lord Shenqi.
When you slack off, I am responsible for turning your actions and spirit on the right path. This is what you specifically ordered me to do when you made me the head maid. β
Without hesitation, revealing Shenqi's previous choice, Yumeko then turned to Erli, who had already drunk half a glass of cold juice.
"Miss, if you want to go back, I will send some servants to accompany you and serve your daily life. You don't have to worry about Shenqi-sama, we won't have an accident here, if you think you want to come back, just come back. β
ββ¦ I miss a little love. β
After saying that, Shenqi took a sip of the juice, because she wanted to avoid Yumeko's fierce eyes.
"I don't really want anyone else to be with me... It's not a good place for them. I want to walk back along the trade routes of mankind, and I will definitely see a lot of things along the way. β
"Miss, are you sure?
The Empire and the Persians are now closed to each other, and you may not be able to get out as safely as the human merchants used to be. Zoroastrians, you may still be invincible, those sacrifices are very high in the attainment of sacred arts. β
"Yes, little love. Why don't you take someone else back, or Yumeko can take you back, and she can take care of your daily life. β
Someone wanted to mix in some private goods, Yumeko looked at Shenqi and said.
"Lord Shenqi, if you want everything in the palace to be in order, especially if your pet will stay in the house honestly, please don't say such a thing.
You also need to know that I am also responsible for most of the official documents and administration, and if you want to go back to the time when you created the Demon Realm, if you work all day except for work, I can naturally go with the eldest lady. β
Shenqi, who was threatened, suddenly collapsed directly on the table like a deflated balloon.
"Yumeko is a badass... Yumeko is a badass..."
Erli looked at the serious Yumeko, and then at Shenqi, who was sprinkling but was always listening, she took a deep breath and said.
"Yumeko, I can do it. This is just before the trial, and if I don't go back properly, Mother and you will think that these days of study and cultivation will not be successful. At that time, I would have stayed here obediently.
Mother, I'll be back. It's interesting here, it's much more interesting than there, but my friends only live there, and I'm used to life over there.
When everything settles down, I'll come to my mother. β
