CHAPTER 514: CHAPTER 436: MAKING A DEAL WITH THE ENCHANTING DEMON QUEEN! _4

"Since I entered the Matrix, about three hundred seasonal changes have passed, and I’ve interacted with numerous players from different races. I’ve never heard of any talk about an end-time cataclysm." The Enchanting Demon Queen thought for a moment, "In the Abyss Race, our Enchanting Demon clan is the best at gathering intelligence, and no king has ever mentioned this. Are you sure you’ve got it right?"

"Never mind, I’ll verify this myself later. Let’s talk about the specifics of the deal for now." Li Zheng felt around and realized the bone-eroding effect had worn off, so he stood up. "I still have one last doubt. Why choose me?"

There are so many players in the Matrix. It can’t really be because of my good character that you’d entrust your infinitely potent biological daughter to me, right?

That’s too clichéd, like something from an online novel from ten years ago. Try writing such a plot in this day and age?

Readers would roast you alive!

"Because your character is qualified!"

The Enchanting Demon Queen said this, and Li Zheng was instantly petrified.

"Just because of this? Isn’t that too whimsical?" Li Zheng was still quite confused.

"It seems if I don’t explain clearly, you won’t trust me," said the Enchanting Demon Queen. "Our Enchanting Demon clan is different from other races in the Abyss. Others might be sinister, cunning, aggressive, or arrogant, but our Enchanting Demon clan is inherently lustful.

But ironically, if we want to maintain our strength and continue to improve, we have to stay virginal. Otherwise, our strength not only stagnates, but over time it declines."

"Wait a second..." Li Zheng interrupted. "Isn’t it the opposite? I’ve heard the more indulgent you Enchanting Demons are, the stronger you become?"

How come it’s different from what’s written in fantasy novels?

So for Enchanting Demons to become stronger, they not only can’t be wantons but have to be virtuous maidens?

That’s darn hilarious!

You’re ruining childhoods like this!

The Enchanting Demon Queen’s face darkened: "Where did you hear such nonsense? The more indulgent, the stronger? Are you speaking of prowess in bed? That’s ridiculous!"

"Why are you getting angry? That’s just what I’ve heard..." Li Zheng scratched his chin. "So you chose me because you think I’m of good character, reliable, and won’t secretly deprive your daughter of her virginity, affecting her future advancement?"

"Exactly! You are the first Star Shining Level being I’ve encountered who can withstand five times the Soul-Devouring Bone-Eroding effect without losing composure." The Enchanting Demon Queen nodded.

"Stop praising me, or I’ll get cocky." Li Zheng smiled bashfully and agreed, "No problem. Having her by my side is like having extra combat power; I’m not losing out."

Seeing Li Zheng agree, the Enchanting Demon Queen looked much better: "Since that’s settled then."

"So far in the Star Shining Martial Tournament, with you included, there are a total of eleven entrants, and there are three who pose the most threat to you."

"The first is a Star Shining Flame Demon, adept at using Fire Element attacks. I can lend you a fireproofing artifact to increase your chances of defeating it."

"The second is a Snake Demon, also Star Shining Level, incredibly fast and skilled in poison mist. You need to defeat it before its poison mist fills the arena. If possible, take the opportunity to kill it!"

"The third is a Pig Demon. Although it’s only at the peak of the Extraordinary level, it’s more troublesome than the other two. During combat, don’t let it touch your body at all costs, or you’ll weaken while it will grow stronger!"

Three opponents, judging by their characteristics, seem like only the Snake Demon is a bit tricky, the other two are easy!

Flame Demon?

No matter your high tier, one Extreme Isolation will counter you to death!

Pig Demon?

I can fly, can you?

Only that Snake Demon, as a Star Shining Level, the tier of its poison mist should not be low, the Earth Dragon Armor definitely can’t block it, will have to assess the situation then make a plan.

If it really doesn’t work... isn’t there still the hover propulsion device?

Worst case, use the old trick and just blow it away!

"Why do you have such a grudge against that Snake Demon? Why did you mention such heavy killing intent only when talking about it?" Li Zheng asked curiously.

"Because it has won many tournaments." The Enchanting Demon Queen casually answered, with a very displeased expression.

Having won many times means it has taken away many prizes.

Among those prizes were likely subordinates sent out by the Enchanting Demon Queen, which is also one of her means of collecting intelligence.

Since that Snake Demon came to compete again, Li Zheng figured that the Enchanting Demons it had taken before likely met grim fates.

The Enchanting Demon Queen calculated the time and said: "The Star Shining Martial Tournament is likely to begin soon, I need to go prepare. After you change your pants, someone will take you to the venue."

"When the tournament starts, I will announce a change in the rewards. At that time, your pressure in the tournament will undoubtedly increase significantly, prepare yourself mentally."

"Also... ten battles exactly will fill up your exploration index. I’m telling you now so you won’t be distracted by other thoughts..."

"What are you doing?! Wait a moment! Let me get out first!"
