After Being Sold Out By The Empire, I Decide To Assist The Demon King
Chapter 178 - 47 Set Sail

Chapter 178: Chapter 47 Set Sail

"Were you ready?"

"Yes, Captain!"

"Too quiet!"

"Yes, Captain!!!!"

With such sounds, five trade ships set sail from the Demon King’s port. The sea demon sailors busied themselves with their tasks, while the captain, first mate, second mate, and the senior officers waved goodbye to everyone on the shore.

They clearly belonged to the group of idlers in the fleet.

At this moment, Yila was staying on the flagship of the five ships. The three sea demon leaders were also there, and of course, someone else had come along from the Demon King Territory—a little cutie.

"The ocean looks so mysterious~"

Leaning against the deck railing, Satan Ye sighed as she gazed at the sea. Yes, she had come along as well, even though she wasn’t supposed to be part of this voyage.

But perhaps it was because Cassiopeia had visited before that Satan Ye’s return visit was more polite and proper etiquette... although Yila didn’t think that was why she tagged along.

"Yes, including the ocean... nature is really something to be revered."

Yila said this, watching the sea demons busy on the deck and then looking at Hilena with her head sticking out of the railing, still not accustomed to the ship. She kept vomiting... emptying out her breakfast.

What to say, if Satan Ye wanted to come, she had to follow... and it turned into this painful situation.

"Mm, nature... the World Tree is part of nature too."

Satan Ye responded obediently, deciding she would revere nature from now on.

"Nature is to be revered, but you don’t need to."

Yila said this, and in Satan Ye’s confusion, he patted her head and said, "You’re the Demon King. You need to be stronger than nature, so strong that nature reveres you, not the other way around."

"If a storm hits, you defeat the storm. If a flood comes, you freeze the flood. If there’s a landslide, you resist it. If a volcano erupts, you calm it... Your power must be that strong."

In Yila’s description, Satan Ye slightly imagined herself punching away a tornado, showing a longing expression as she asked, "Can I do that?"

If she could, she really wanted to become that powerful of a Demon King.

Thinking so, Satan Ye felt motivated to train and become stronger quickly. But training on the deck felt a bit embarrassing... actually, it wasn’t just embarrassing—it was also a bit dangerous.

It wouldn’t be good if she burnt a hole in the ship.

"Yila first..."

Satan Ye was just about to say something.

"Yila~ and Satan Ye and Hilena, good morning~"

A voice from behind interrupted her.

...

Hearing the voice from behind, Satan Ye turned her head to see the Elf Stone girl they had rescued together with Yila and Wolf. She had now moved next to Yila.

"I went to your room to find you but you weren’t there. I guessed you’d be on the deck with Lady Satan Ye."

The elf girl said, looking towards the direction of the Silver Moon Tree Court. The sea breeze blew her green hair into a horizontal waterfall in the sky. She sighed, "We just left home, but it feels like we’ve been through so much."

To this, Yila softly agreed, "Yes..."

But the elf girl didn’t hear him. She stretched lazily and continued, "Although I said I wanted to learn to be strong from you, Yila, home is still the best."

Yes, no matter what, home is always the best...

The elf girl unknowingly struck a chord with every word. She chatted with Yila, while Satan Ye, unable to join in, watched the sea.

Satan Ye wasn’t jealous or felt neglected, because she was a good child, a super cutie it’s hard to believe is real in this world.

"Hmmm..."

Lost in thought, Satan Ye looked at the endless sea. She couldn’t describe the unsettling feeling... *It just felt uneasy, not knowing which way to fly if something happened.*

"Do you think there might be sea monsters?"

Satan Ye muttered to herself.

"Don’t worry, ugh!! Lady Satan Ye... cough cough ugh~~~~"

Hilena responded but had to stick her head out and dry heave every few words. Her face had turned paler than Vera’s... no doubt it was painful.

"Are you okay, Hilena?"

Satan Ye hesitated, asking concernedly, "Would lying down in a room make you feel better?"

"..."

Hilena didn’t answer immediately, covering her mouth as if brewing something, then decisively stuck her head out and threw up undigested food with acid.

Afterward, she might only dry heave or vomit acid.

"Thank you for your concern, Lady Satan Ye, but it probably won’t help much..."

Hilena weakly answered, shifting the topic back to the sea monster, "Once we leave the coast, it’s easy to encounter sea magic beasts, but large sea monsters usually live in deeper waters."

Ships on sea voyages rarely get attacked by sea monsters.

But since it’s said "rarely," there are still chances. Due to various sudden situations, like food scarcity or territorial disputes, large sea beasts sometimes surface to breathe.

Though the probability was low, it wasn’t zero.

"Lady Satan Ye, Miss Elf... and Yila."

The Mermaid Leader called out to them, seeing Yila’s obviously uneasy expression but continued her report normally: "The weather has been good lately. The sea’s song guides us forward. If nothing unexpected happens... we should reach Hezlosa within a week."

In other words, the ocean currents they needed to use were within the Mermaid Leader’s calculations?

"Then we’ll rest for two days at Hezlosa before heading to the Silver Moon Tree Court. If nothing unexpected happens, it’ll also take about a week to get there."

Repeating "if nothing unexpected happens" made one wonder if something unexpected would happen...

"By the way, Mr. Yila..."

The Mermaid Leader, becoming hesitant, turned red as Wolf’s butt in Yila’s puzzled "hmm?" Her head steamed as she spoke in Yila’s ominous premonition:

"M...mermaid’s... it’s in the scales on the fish tail, you can lift it to see. We’re different from fish, and...the place for pooping is separate~"

"..."

Satan Ye: "..."

Hilena: "Oh, I see. Mermaids are really unique..."

Elf girl: "..."

Yila: "..."
