Chapter 27: Sidi Showing Weakness
Are you still feeling wronged?!
Looking at Lin Ze's pitiful expression, Yue Ye suddenly felt the urge to give him a beating.
Now she could finally understand why Leng Xiao had such a love-hate relationship with Lin Ze.
This guy was just infuriating.
Yet you couldn't do anything about it.
Even though she wanted to teach him a lesson, doing so now would just undermine her own authority.
If what Lin Ze said was true—if he could visualize lust—then when the Yue Ye Chamber of Commerce eventually entered human territory, it would be of great help.
And, assuming nothing went wrong, Lin Ze's talent would likely be greatly favored by the Demon God of Love, Sidi. This would give Yue Ye a chance to form an alliance with her in the future.
No matter what, she had to pull Lin Ze into the Yue Ye Chamber of Commerce. Once Lin Ze joined, Xiao Yun would likely follow as well.
"Hmph." Yue Ye bit her lips and huffed, "Don't forget what you promised me."
With that, Yue Ye swished her skirt and headed for Leng Xiao's bedroom.
Just as she turned around, Lin Ze called out again: "Um… Sister Yue…"
"What?" Yue Ye turned her head, glaring at Lin Ze.
Lin Ze scratched his head awkwardly. "Sister Yue, didn't you say I could come find you if I got hungry later? Does that still count…"
Yue Ye: "…"
You little brat still want to do it again later?
Yue Ye was truly infuriated by him.
"Talk about it later!" she snapped.
With that, she stormed off. She was afraid that if she stayed any longer, she really would punch him.
As Yue Ye disappeared from view, Lin Ze scratched his head in confusion and murmured, "Talk about it later… Does that mean I can come back later when I'm hungry?"
"But Sister Yue tastes really good…"
Lin Ze smacked his lips, recalling the flavor from earlier.
After eating and drinking his fill, Lin Ze returned to Leng Xiao's bedroom to sleep. The bed was massive—big enough for four people to lie on without crowding each other.
And since none of them were that old yet, and their relationships weren't too complicated, sharing the bed didn't bring much pressure.
However, the next morning, Leng Xiao once again clung to Lin Ze like an octopus.
Tiredly wiping drool off his face, Lin Ze peeled Leng Xiao's arms and legs away and slipped out of bed.
The others were still fast asleep as Lin Ze quietly opened the bedroom door.
But just as the door creaked open, a familiar figure appeared before him.
Seeing who it was, Lin Ze instinctively called out: "Sister, why are you here?"
There was still a bit of mist clinging to Sidi's hair—it was clear she'd been waiting at the door for a while.
"Why? I'm not allowed to come?" she replied expressionlessly.
"No… that's not what I meant…" Lin Ze muttered.
"Come. You're going with me to see His Majesty the Demon God Emperor." With that, Sidi turned and began walking away.
Lin Ze blinked and followed behind her, a bit disappointed. So she didn't come just to see him—Feng Xiu wanted to meet him.
Noticing his change in mood, Sidi asked, "Still upset about yesterday?"
"…No. You raised me. It's only natural that you'd have your own goals."
"Don't pretend. I know whether you're upset or not." She paused, then continued, "But let's be clear—since you grew up in the demon clan, you need to adapt to its rules. Strength is what determines survival here."
"…Yeah."
Lin Ze's perfunctory response made Sidi sigh. She slowed slightly and said, "Do you want me to hold your hand?"
Hearing this, Lin Ze instinctively reached out, but halfway through, he stopped and pulled back.
Shaking his head, he said, "No need, Sister. I'm not a child anymore. I can walk on my own."
He didn't understand much about relationships, but he could tell from yesterday's events that Sidi didn't want to get too emotionally entangled with him.
Just like his situation with Yue Ye—they both got what they needed. He relied on lust from the Demon God of Love to sustain himself, while Sidi used him to deepen her understanding of passion.
Sidi was momentarily stunned. For some reason, her heart felt uncomfortably heavy.
"…You're right. I forgot you've grown up." She softened slightly. "You haven't eaten since last night. Want to eat something first?" she asked, leaning a little closer.
But to her surprise, Lin Ze—who always lit up at the mention of food—actually shook his head. "No need, Sister. I'm not hungry. Unless, of course, you need me to absorb your lust to cultivate—I can still do that."
Sidi opened her lips to respond, but nothing came out. After a long pause, she changed the subject.
"…If you're not hungry, then let's go. I'll take you to see His Majesty first. Just answer honestly. He's already agreed to the matter of your succession. He won't make things difficult for you."
As she turned and continued forward, her expression returning to calm, Lin Ze suddenly said, "I'll go see Sister Yue Ye later. She helped me fall asleep last night."
Sidi, walking ahead, simply responded with a faint "Mm."
"…Don't you have anything to say?" Lin Ze asked, a little annoyed.
After a brief silence, her cool voice came again: "You've grown up. I can't keep you by my side forever. Just remember to be discerning about your lust. I won't interfere in other matters."
Lin Ze didn't realize it, but at that moment, Sidi was quietly struggling inside. When she heard he had gone to Yue Ye, she felt a strange sense of… loss.
It was as if Lin Ze no longer belonged solely to her.
Reflecting on her emotions from the past two days, Sidi gave a bitter smile and murmured inwardly:
> How ridiculous. I, the mighty God of Love… shaken by the feelings of a child?
And right then, she made up her mind—to ensure that Lin Ze would absorb and erase this unnecessary emotion.
To her, Lin Ze was just a tool.
As the Demon God of Love, she controlled lust—she could not, and must not, be controlled by it.
With Sidi saying no more, Lin Ze stayed quiet as well.
The two continued walking silently toward the hall where Feng Xiu, the Demon God Emperor, awaited them.
