The Demon Emperor was Saint Emperor-Chapter 52: Curse

"Please come in."

"Have a seat."

"Little Yuna, hurry up and take Little Youli to make tea for Auntie and the moms."

Welcoming everyone to the living room, Lynn entrusted Little Youli to the delighted Little Yuna, then instructed these two little helpers to assist in entertaining the guests.

Treasure such experiences, for who knows when they might no longer be guests...

"Lord Lynn, you don’t need to trouble them, maybe first prepare something for Little Youli. She was rushing to come over to the institute and hasn’t had lunch yet."

Just as they sat down, Xiya quickly adjusted her mindset and talked to Lynn about Little Youli’s situation. Although Xiya herself wasn’t hungry, children shouldn’t go hungry, or they might not grow tall.

"There are little cakes in the kitchen; I’ll go get them."

Upon hearing that the little girl who calls her mom is still hungry, Vivian seemed even more anxious than Lynn, and without bothering to get closer to Xiya, she quickly chased after the two kids to the kitchen.

After Vivian left, Catherine’s gaze traveled back and forth between Xiya and Lynn, feeling that something wasn’t quite right, yet she couldn’t pinpoint exactly what.

"Xiya, have you finished your work on that side?"

Regardless of whether Vivian was present, Lynn dared to speak with Xiya, even though there was now another "wife" present, Lynn showed no fear.

"Finished, there are no more children at the shelter, so I have nothing to do."

Regarding this issue, Catherine had already asked once, but Xiya patiently answered Lynn again.

"Then would you consider coming to work at my home? Now I’m raising Little Yuna as well, with two little girls at home, I’m afraid a clumsy big man like me might not take good care of them."

Lynn, lacking tactics, simply decided to play it straight; sophisticated tricks didn’t suit the delicate-minded Elf Race, as sincerity is the ultimate technique against them.

"Is Lord Lynn intending to marry me?"

If Lynn’s comment was quite straightforward, then Xiya’s retort was a face-to-face rebuttal, with no unnecessary probing at all.

When Xiya said this, Lynn was taken aback, and Catherine, who had a similar reaction, hadn’t heard this kind of retort from Xiya before.

Wasn’t she the one who always said "No" and "I refuse"?

"If that’s the case, how would you respond to me?"

After racking his brains for a long time, Lynn couldn’t find a suitable response, so he returned the question to Xiya.

"Given Lord Lynn’s kindness to the Elf Race, if you have taken a liking to Xiya, serving you for a lifetime is only right..."

In response to Lynn’s back-and-forth questioning, Xiya answered first like this.

Though the outcome sounded beautiful, Lynn sensed that there was more to her words.

"But that’s to repay the kindness; Xiya wouldn’t necessarily fall in love with you because of this. If Lord Lynn is a man with ambition, then I suggest you try chasing me for a few years, and I’ll definitely give you a great opportunity~~"

After saying this, an otherwise indifferent Xiya gave Lynn a playful wink, and while Lynn didn’t have much reaction, Catherine, watching the spectacle, was shocked to her feet from the sofa.

"You’re not Xiya! Quick, say it! Who are you really?!"

Springing up, Catherine grabbed Xiya by the collar and aggressively questioned her, the beautiful elf before her was incredibly unfamiliar, so unfamiliar it was terrifying!

"I am Xiya, you just haven’t seen Xiya being on good terms with a man."

As she spoke, Xiya effortlessly freed herself from Catherine’s hold, having just reached Saint Tier last night after breaking free from her burdens, she was far beyond the mere 450-level Catherine.

"Then what’s going on with you? Got a fever?"

Catherine grumbled unhappily; she thought Xiya was much like herself, destined to climb the heights alone, but unexpectedly, she isn’t even 300 yet, why did she suddenly get lovesick?

"Lord Lynn is a rare outstanding man, the benefactor of the entire Elf Race, apart from him there isn’t another demigod, if I were to find a man who would accompany me till old age, there’d be no other choice but him."

These words were intentionally said by Xiya to Catherine, although they had loopholes, like besides the human race demigod being able to live a thousand years like her, any male elf from the Elf Race could do so as well...

Yet Xiya didn’t mind the loophole in her words because Catherine definitely wouldn’t notice this detail.

"Demi... Demigod?"

Sure enough, Catherine froze for a moment upon hearing Xiya’s words, missing the flaw in the conversation, and instead was left mumbling as if only hearing those two words.

"Level 999, Demon Slaying Emperor, the slayer of Demon Kings, legendary Divine General, the Hero of the Elf Race."

Xiya provided Catherine with more clues based on her understanding and reasonable conjecture about Lynn.

"The slayer of Demon Kings..."

Catherine continued mumbling.

"Exactly, the Lust Demon King was killed by his hands too."

Xiya continued to guide gently.

Uh, to be precise, in the recent century war rampage, the Seven Great Demon Kings were collectively overpowered by the players, but to say the Lust Demon King was defeated by me specifically isn’t wrong either, since the solo first kill records for the Seven Great Demon Kings belong to him, as recorded in the Miracle game’s official data, players can see this by checking a few pages into the rankings.

Lynn silently added in his heart.

That said, Xiya truly is impressive, whether it’s untold experiences or her reflective invitations, they all showcased her brilliant intelligence.

"Can he lift the curse of Lust?"

Catherine’s dazed eyes grew brighter as she muttered, although the feeling was dreamlike, she knew undoubtedly her close friend wouldn’t play jokes on matters of life and death for her.

"Lifting the curse of Lust?"

Lynn was momentarily dumbstruck by the words, it felt akin to meeting a beloved girl under an intoxicatingly cursed state, where he’s holding an antidote bottle and possesses a remedy himself, and the angels and demons in his mind fiercely debating which method to choose.

"Yes, Catherine was cursed by the Lust Demon King two and half years ago, if it isn’t lifted within three years, now six months left, once it erupts, Catherine will become that kind of woman, you should know what kind that is..."

Xiya intentionally brought Catherine here today not just for the kids but also to rescue her friend, yet she was unsure if Lord Lynn was willing to help, hence didn’t clarify to Catherine beforehand to prevent her dying with hope.

However, seeing Lynn’s familiarity with Catherine and the way he regarded her akin to Xiya, she now believes today’s endeavor... is a sure win!
