Chapter 306: Chapter 192: The Form of the Demon King (4)

This was Romon’s territory, where numerous oddly shaped beings were pointing and jeering at her.

The cacophony reaching her ears made Candice unequivocally certain that she had indeed arrived in the land of demons.

She was no stranger to these voices; if one day she were to return here and not hear them, Candice would even suspect that something had gone awry.

Thinking back to her earlier self, Candice had abandoned all her self-respect in hopes of gaining acceptance from the demons, enduring their mockery and bullying with nothing more than a cautious smile.

Yet, her sycophancy had earned her nothing but intensified humiliation.

Truly foolish.

Candice mocked herself with a smirk.

The ridicule that once pained her heart no longer stirred her because she had found a purpose far more important than seeking the demons’ acceptance.

In this world, there was already one who had truly accepted her... One was enough, more than enough.

She had been waiting outside for several hours, as Romon seemed intent on asserting his authority by giving her a taste of humiliation, not summoning Candice until now.

That foolish prince really did enjoy asserting his presence in such a meaningless way.

Before her arrival, Candice had precisely calculated all possible scenarios; unfazed and even content, she observed her surroundings. By comparison to the human world, the demons’ realm was utterly decrepit and backward. Many demons were intelligent, yet they cared not for attire or dwellings, with naked demons aplenty.

Their homes were nothing more than caves in the mountains, hollows in trees, or burrows in the ground.

Behind her, in that distant mountain range, lived countless demons by tens and hundreds of thousands. Apart from the high-level demons, the vast majority didn’t even grasp the concept of using a toilet.

There was no such thing as toilet buildings.

Every place was their toilet.

As a result, what should have been a forest of fresh and natural air was permeated with a nauseating stench.

Some demons grouped together, locked in combat, their wounds oozing filth that clung to their fur; others mated brazenly under the sunlight...

Eating, fighting, and mating were the three most common activities in a demon’s life.

Only in front of Candice stood something that could barely qualify as a house—the stone-built palace of the Seventh Prince, Romon.

Suddenly, Candice’s expression turned stern.

Behind her, she felt a malevolent presence drawing near.

What a foolish creature. She could even see its open arms in the reflection cast on the ground by the sunlight...

In a flash, Candice’s feet propelled her backward with force, and her arm swung in a fluid motion.

Smack!

Her elbow collided with a solid body, sending the figure stumbling backwards.

The demon, akin to a curly-haired baboon, flew into a rage from Candice’s strike—an affront to its chest was an insult... It emitted a hoarse scream, just before attempting a counterattack.

Hiss!

A sharp whistling sound accompanied by a chill breeze.

A pointed ice cone was already pressed against the baboon-like demon’s throat.

One more millimeter and the ice cone would mercilessly pierce its throat.

Despite a demon’s robust life force, such an injury would undoubtedly be fatal.

For a moment, the curly-haired baboon stood frozen, not daring to move, its face as red as its backside, and its already repugnant features contorted even further, almost as ugly as a demon... Well, the creature was indeed a demon.

And suddenly, the surroundings fell silent.

All eyes, bizarre in shape and color, fixed upon Candice; none could believe that the half-breed outcast, after days of absence, had become so bold as to fight back now.

The Demon King above.

This was utterly terrifying.

If she dared to resist now, what would she dare to do in the future? It was unfathomable.

However, the silence did not last long as coarse and twisted laughter began echoing among the demons. Candice, the half-breed, had dared to fight back, providing them with an opportunity to thoroughly chastise this fool who did not know her place, and let this filthy trash understand whose domain this was.

They, whether walking upright or crawling on the ground, started to encircle Candice, their twisted and malevolent faces betraying deep malice.

They would not mind killing Candice right here.

The demon world was more chaotic than that of humans, with incessant infighting; no one cared if hundreds of demons died, let alone a hybrid outcast.

Yet, Candice’s lips maintained a faintly indifferent smile; she felt no fear.

With her strength, these creatures crowding around her were the least of her worries.

However, just then, a figure stepped out from the palace. Candice recognized the demon; his name was Dorgo, a creature born of an Enchanting Demon who had mated with a Demon Wolf for the thrill of it.

He was Romon’s most capable subordinate and very strong.

With little more than a glance at Candice, Dorgo, sharing the same half-blood of an Enchanting Demon, felt his own disdain for her. After all, Candice’s other lineage was human, whereas his other half was of a Demon Wolf.
