The Demon Emperor was Saint Emperor-Chapter 45: Vivian the Vase Heroine

Meanwhile, the carriage from Marquis’s Mansion has already stopped at Lynn’s family entrance.

Upon hearing the neighing of horses outside, Little Yuna, who was kicking a Luminous Pearl the size of a head as a ball in Lynn’s yard, suddenly became excited and immediately tossed aside the hard white ball to run to open the door.

It’s rare for Little Yuna to use the front door; if she were at her own home, she’d definitely climb up the wall first.

Little Yuna opened the door, and outside stood the family of three from Marquis Jones, who was about to knock. Little Yuna had already seen them on the wall last night, so they did not seem strange to her.

"Are you here to see my cousin? He’s inside sharpening his sword. Pretty sister, you can go find him to play!"

Standing in front of the three adults, Little Yuna appeared short, but she still had the presence of a host as she invited the guests inside, especially that pretty sister, who would likely be one of Lily’s moms in the future. She must not neglect her.

"What a cute kid! You call Lynn ’cousin,’ so are you his little cousin?"

Vivian didn’t get a good look at Little Yuna last night, but now seeing the adorable little one working hard to open the door for her during the daytime, she became interested, squatted down to hug Little Yuna, and touched her round head.

"No, Little Yuna is a good friend of cousin’s daughter, so cousin is actually Little Yuna’s uncle."

Little Yuna liked being patted by the pretty sister, just like she enjoyed being patted by her cousin and Sister Xiya, but she felt the need to explain the pretty sister’s misunderstanding.

Calling him ’cousin,’ yet he’s actually an uncle...

Doesn’t that mess up the generations? Who taught you to address elders this way?

With such curiosity and holding soft Little Yuna, Vivian easily found Lynn, who was indeed sharpening his sword in the yard.

Vivian’s level is quite low, so she isn’t very knowledgeable about various equipment. She merely felt curious seeing Lynn sharpening his sword, but Marquis Jones, who was following her in, widened his eyes in disbelief.

That is... a top-tier Sacred Artifact! Just by looking at its domineering design and vaguely sensing its weight, Marquis Jones could immediately determine it was at least a 700-level Red Sacred Artifact, or else it wouldn’t exert such heavy pressure on him, who was over 600-level, making him fear being taken down in one strike.

"Vivian’s here. Accompany Little Yuna for a while; I’m almost done here."

Seeing Vivian holding Little Yuna come over, Lynn quickly greeted her, but right now he was busy. If he stopped at this moment, all his previous efforts would be wasted.

The discarded equipment of level 800 was once just a keepsake for Lynn, but as he came to the reality-based Miracle World, many things that were previously unused could become backups, so whenever he has spare time, there is a need to maintain equipment below the level of Divine Artifacts.

As for Divine Artifacts, well, no need to mind them; they wouldn’t gather dust even if left there for a thousand years.

"Ka-cha"

Sheathing the sword and putting it back into the Spatial Ring, Lynn casually took out a Water Element Necklace, conjured a stream of water from thin air to wash his hands, and then moved close to Vivian to play with Little Yuna together.

Marquis Jones wanted to say something, telling Lynn not to use Sacred Artifact accessories as faucets, but considering Lynn’s wealth, even if he used a golden toilet, it wouldn’t be surprising, so Marquis Jones simply remained silent.

"Lynn, um, I’ve come to talk to you about something."

Seeing Lynn so close, almost zero distance from her, Vivian’s face turned slightly red, but as a girl experiencing first heartthrobs, a little contact seemed inconsequential.

"What’s up? Is the Emperor planning to drive me away and send you to take me on a trip abroad?"

Lynn, seemingly indifferent, lightly touched Vivian’s cheek while feeling the smooth, tender skin of the girl and casually said.

"Huh? How did you know?"

Forced into close proximity, Vivian didn’t feel resistant, just a bit uneasy, but before her face could get any redder, she was astonished by Lynn’s uncanny ability to guess.

"Just a guess. The Emperor’s character is known nationwide; it would be strange if he relaxed with me in Celestial Destiny City, but I have no plans to leave in the short term, let him worry for a while."

Lynn is not someone greedy and relentless, especially towards a good girl like Vivian. Without advancing the relationship further, she might accept a little close interaction, but too much would only backfire.

Lynn, who hasn’t had much experience with romance, learned by observing others — that’s just how the pigs run in other people’s farms.

Of course, such matters also depend on different girls’ personalities. Had Lynn first met an Enchanting Demon type of girl, they might be in the process of having a sister for Little Youli by now...

"Our family has already discussed this; we’re not going to obey His Majesty’s orders, so we must slowly develop; you can’t rush."

Vivian hugged Little Yuna tightly and talked about their family’s decision with a reddened face.

Even though she wasn’t planning to "seduce" Lynn and trick him into another country, she had already mentioned slow development, admitting to a special relationship with Lynn.

Despite having met only a few times, within coincidences and strong pushes from His Majesty the Emperor, their relationship started prematurely. Vivian was still somewhat muddled.

But she didn’t feel wronged; Lynn was indeed the only man she had been somewhat touched by so far.

This slight affection initially stemmed from an inexplicable familiarity and her pet’s recognition of him, but after a few more contacts, she deeply realized the incomparable sense of security beside him.

He’s so capable; being with him surely means not being bullied...

The fragile Vivian felt timid outside her home due to her lack of strength, only showing some sharpness inherited from her mother during arguments.

Perhaps someone of her character is naturally suited to depend on strong people, and Lynn precisely fits this role for her.

"I’m not in a hurry; love, when taken slowly, has more flavor."

Lynn responded to Vivian with sincerity. He was also inexperienced in romance, so slowly exploring seemed better. If he merely sought physical pleasure, he had money and opportunities in his past life, yet remained single until his late twenties.

"You can’t bully me; you know I’m weak, like a vase, breakable with a touch."

Vivian continued holding Little Yuna, softly reminding Lynn.

Being a ’vase’ character as a female lead might be a taboo in novels, with some people choosing to exit angrily. But in real life, if one could have such a beautiful vase girl as a girlfriend, many would probably laugh in their dreams.
