Chapter 87: Abao's Forced Marriage

"Since Your Majesty has made such a decision, I naturally have no objection. Abao is indeed the most outstanding genius among the younger generation of our demon race. He should be first in line to inherit the throne."

Facing the Demon God Emperor Feng Xiu's question, the Moon Demon God Agares stood up and voiced his opinion.

"Second Brother, it's great that you think so. Since everyone is here, I remember you have a daughter named Yue Ye, who grew up with Abao. She's not married yet, right?"

Agares's brow furrowed slightly. A bad premonition rose in his heart.

However, in the face of Feng Xiu's question, Agares still nodded and replied, "Yue'er has been focusing on managing the Yue Ye Chamber of Commerce. She's been traveling year-round. I'm not sure if she has someone she likes."

> This old fox is being cautious.

Feng Xiu could clearly see that Agares was being evasive. If Agares had said Yue Ye had no partner, he would've directly arranged the marriage between Abao and Yue Ye. But this response clearly left room for maneuver.

Still, Feng Xiu had anticipated this.

With a signal from Feng Xiu, Abao stepped forward.

> "Lord Agares, I grew up with Yue'er. I understand her—ordinary people simply aren't in her eyes."

> "Please help me and Yue'er."

The conversation between the three echoed clearly through spiritual power, and the entire audience buzzed into discussion.

Most demons spoke from Abao's perspective.

Among the younger female demons, some voices were filled with jealousy and sarcasm:

> "I don't understand what His Highness Abao sees in that half-human hybrid. She's just a pretty face."

> "She's tarnishing the noble bloodline of the Heaven-Defying Demon Dragon Clan."

> "What does it matter? Abao might just be in a temporary mood. If she wasn't the Moon Demon God's daughter, who would even look at her?"

In the massive arena, almost everyone viewed it as an honor for Yue Ye to marry Abao.

But no one asked if Yue Ye was willing.

---

At this moment, still standing on the stage, Sidi's expression turned grim.

From the way Yue Ye and Lin Ze interacted, it was clear Yue Ye had feelings for Lin Ze.

Their relationship was far deeper than that of ordinary friends.

And Yue Ye was also one of Lin Ze's "sources of food." With Lin Ze's personality, if Yue Ye opposed the marriage, he would never stand by quietly.

A faint sense of unease stirred in Sidi's heart.

Her gaze shifted subconsciously toward Lin Ze and Yue Ye, who were still seated in the distant audience.

At this moment, Yue Ye finally understood why the Demon God Emperor Feng Xiu had summoned her back.

He wanted to marry her off to Abao!

All around her, the other inheritors stared in disbelief.

Because Yue Ye was holding Lin Ze's hand tightly, staring silently toward the high platform.

No one could guess what she was thinking.

> "Interesting. A good show's about to start," said a short red-haired inheritor with two tiger teeth and a mischievous grin—Ma Xiluo, the inheritor of the Fifth Pillar, Hell Demon God.

Even Leng Xiao, who wasn't the most perceptive, had a dark expression when she heard Abao propose marriage.

Though she felt jealousy whenever she saw Lin Ze and Yue Ye together, she also understood—

> Some things cannot be forced.

What Abao was doing… was nothing short of a forced marriage.

Leng Xiao looked back at Yue Ye, wanting to speak, but didn't know how to begin.

---

After a moment of silence, Yue Ye seemed to have made up her mind.

She turned toward Lin Ze, smiled sweetly, and said:

> "Lin Ze, you promised me, remember? As long as Sister Yue feeds you, you'll help me. Now, I want you to be my fiancé—are you willing?"

Stunned silence.

Yue Ye had no intention of hiding her words.

With spiritual power carrying her voice, even Feng Xiu and the Demon Gods on the high platform heard it loud and clear.

The entire arena exploded into chaos.

Her words weren't just a rejection of Abao—they were a public slap in the face.

Now, all eyes turned to Lin Ze.

If he dared to say yes, it would be a second slap to Abao's face, in front of 100,000 demons.

But before Lin Ze could reply, two beams of moonlight descended and transported Yue Ye and Lin Ze directly in front of Agares.

---

The Moon Demon God Agares already knew a bit about Lin Ze.

With innate spiritual power of 100 and an affinity for the dark element, Lin Ze had long been on Agares's radar—he simply hadn't met him yet.

Now he realized… his daughter was in love with this young man.

The two were holding hands. Their closeness was impossible to ignore.

How could Agares not see through it?

Clearly, his older brother Feng Xiu and Abao had used this marriage as a means to contain him.

With Yue Ye's Yue Ye Chamber of Commerce growing rapidly, promoting human-demon cooperation, their political influence was rising.

A marriage would be the perfect leash.

He couldn't openly defy the Demon King in public—but Lin Ze's presence gave him an opening.

---

Agares turned, looking at the two of them with a cold gaze.

> "Yue'er, do you know what you're doing?"

> "His Highness Abao grew up with you. Don't you know how he feels?"

> "How many in the demon clan are more suitable than Abao?"

After scolding Yue Ye, he turned his glare toward Lin Ze.

> "Your name is Lin Ze, isn't it?"

Yue Ye was about to speak in Lin Ze's defense, but Lin Ze squeezed her hand lightly, and she paused in surprise.

Lin Ze stepped forward, nodded respectfully, and replied:

> "Yes, Lord Agares."

Agares snorted coldly:

> "Your talent isn't bad. But your background is lowly. Becoming Sidi's inheritor is already your limit. Don't pursue delusions."

> "Now—immediately—in front of all the demons, clarify your relationship with Yue Ye, or bear the consequences!"

As his voice fell—

A terrifying pressure surged from Agares' body.

Both Yue Ye and Lin Ze felt a suffocating weight press down on them.
