The tension in the room quickly escalated with Ao's Dragon Aura bursting out of her body, but Shuten Douji's laughter stopped it almost immediately.

"Hahahaha, I was just joking."

Even so, Ao still glared at Shuten. Though, that managed to calm the Dragon King down from going to the stage and drag the Oni God to the ground, causing more problems.

Kai breathed a sigh of relief and let out an amused laugh. While he didn't like the fact that they almost caused trouble for the house, he also couldn't deny that the party became a bit more amusing.

"That little midget.. As expected, this lady can't trust her."

"Haha.. P-Please don't be too harsh to the boss." Ibaraki pleaded from the side with a wry smile. "She just loves pranks."

"This lady knows she loves it but doesn't need to do it like that," Ao replied as she crossed her arms, clearly uncomfortable. She was sulking, which was really rare.

"Ao, you know how Shuten Douji is. She's entertaining the other guests. Though it's not our event, why don't you just let her have her fun for now?"

Kai tried to mediate the situation by comforting Ao, but it all was for naught when the Phoenix girl said something.

"I will help you burn her, Ao."

"Come on!" He sighed.historical

It was supposed to be the announcement of Ao's relationship with him. But it all became a mess the moment Shuten Douji made a joke about it.

To think that even Amber got reeled in. If it was like this, he could only order them or let Shuten handle the situation.

He turned to the Oni God, who was still speaking on the stage, talking about some nonsense and saying that she would sing a few songs. When she felt his gaze, she turned around and winked.

'Well, let them have fun then.'

This situation was also because Ao placed her trust in Shuten Douji, who clearly loved pranks. Kai knew it would escalate to something like this, so he kept silent as he watched Ao and Amber, two girls with contrasting hair colors, walking toward the stage where Shuten Douji was.

"There they go." He muttered as he turned to Ibaraki Douji. "You don't want to join them to crash this party?" He asked.

"No, Master. I don't really mind what my boss said. I am already happy as long as I am allowed to stay with you." The Oni girl flashed a gentle smile as she stood beside her master.

"If that's the case, then okay."

The three of them appeared on the stage, much to Dim Valac's headache. The host looked rather troubled when the Dragon King and a Phoenix suddenly barged with the Oni God too.

There was no way the head of Valac's house could stop them. The blond Devil could only turn to Kai, which the Ruler ignored as he talked with Ibaraki Douji. Without much choice, he shrugged his shoulders.

But because the guests seemed to like the chaos, he continued to greet everyone while ignoring the three Mythical who were on the stage. That was the only thing he could do.

Meanwhile, Kai only watched as three girls looked at each other silently on the stage. They were inside a soundproof barrier that Amber put up so no one could hear them.

However, as he had a connection with them, except for Shuten Douji, he could hear them clearly.

[So you're saying that it will be interesting if you put it like that? Will the effect be better than this?] Ao asked Shuten Douji in disbelief. [But this lady doesn't like the fact you announced you'd like to marry my dear husband. I am the first.]

Amber could be seen nodding at Ao's words, [I am also the first.]

Both of them confronted the Oni God and made her a bit uncomfortable. Even Shuten Douji couldn't handle the two at once if it escalated into a fight, especially when one of them was as strong or stronger than her while the other was practically an immortal bird.

But everyone knew that it wouldn't reach that much trouble. That was if Shuten Douji was willing to stop.

The Oni God only smiled at the pair. She nodded slightly and opened her mouth, saying something Kai couldn't hear. But Ao's expression told him all he needed to know.

"Ah, there will be chaos." He muttered when the barrier Amber made was suddenly taken down.

Judging from Amber's confused expression, it wasn't her who had taken down the barrier.

"My~ It's unfair if you leave me in such an interesting conversation, girls."

lightsΝοvel A soft, alluring voice of a woman came from behind a curtain that led toward the inside of the castle.lights

Dim Valac, who previously greeted some guests, immediately left them and ran frantically toward the direction of where the voice rang. It was easy to guess whose voice that belonged to.

The three girls on the stage turned toward the curtain too. Much to Kai's confusion, Ao and Shuten Douji narrowed their eyes in displeasure.

Noticing Kai's confusion, Ibaraki Douji told him, "Boss and the Dragon King had some problem with the Succubus Queen a thousand years ago. It seems the Queen would always bother them when they had important talks with Abe no Seimei for various reasons, such as she needed to replenish her Spirit Power."

Kai nodded in understanding. As expected from the Succubus Queen. He didn't need to hear more explanation to understand what had actually happened.

The person he met in his dream, Abe no Seimei, was the description of the perfect man. It was no wonder many women and girls were trying to get him. Not only was he handsome, but he had influence and power too.

But even if he didn't need an explanation, Ibaraki Douji continued.

"While the Dragon King was only the strongest's friend and liked to play Shogi with him, my boss had a deeper relationship. She wasn't in this form yet as she wasn't afraid of rampaging at that time. While they were in a.. private situation, the Succubus Queen would barge in and fight over Abe no Seimei."

"That's not something I need to hear, Ibaraki," Kai responded with a wry smile. Something that was private didn't need to be said to him. He was also not curious about it.

"My apologies, Master."

"No, don't worry." He replied and looked at the hidden curtain.

President Valac slowly parted the curtain with his eyes closed, letting the guests see what was hidden on the other side. It was just a small room filled with luxuries.

Sitting on a soft, red bubble chair was a stunning woman twirling a glass of wine.

Long pink hair that extended to the floor. Beautiful round yellow irises.

The curves of her body were so perfect that her beauty even rivaled the Dragon King, Ao. No, she was more erotic than the Dragon King with her open black dress, which only covered her private parts.

Even so, she didn't exude any shame at all. Instead, she was proud of her body and loved to be seen.

A pair of majestic bat wings flapped behind her, helping her to stand up. Two horns that looked like a crown adorned her head.

She smiled seductively as she began to walk toward the three girls on the stage. The way she walked invited excitement to men. Her hips swayed back and forth in a seducing manner.

"I also want to have a talk about marrying the Ruler, you know?"

That caused a spark to happen. Many Devils raised their heads in surprise. Kai face palmed, and the girls didn't take it lightly.

The urge to leave this party immediately filled his mind. He was done. Because of him, this party was ruined. While technically the one who ruined the party first was Shuten Douji, but that wasn't important.

Sparks were flying between the girls. Spirit Power got pushed out of their bodies as the attention of the guests was divided in two. Some were looking at the showdown between the four girls with excitement; some were looking at Kai curiously.

But soon, their Spirit Power began to clash with each other. The combination of black, red, blue, and purple Spirit Power from four people with golden eyes was too much for normal guests to handle.

The party venue was shaking. It was even more intense than the clash of Spirit Power between Panlong and Qianlong back in the Throne Room of Dragon King Castle.

Many guests began to fall one after another. President Valac's face paled. Those were all VIPs from each race. He would be in trouble if this continued.

"Ruler! Please stop them!" So he called for the only person who could stand calmly even in this situation.

Kai just wanted to enjoy the party. But it seemed like he couldn't help but to step in.

"Wait for me here, Ibaraki."

Saying so, he disappeared from where he stood and reappeared near the stage. His movement was so fast that even the clash of Spirit Power didn't affect him.

Thanks to his training with Panlong, he could use his large Spirit Power to reach the peak of his movement without a predetermined move.

And when he appeared near the girls, he immediately suppressed their Spirit Power with his, which was already growing too much to the point his reserve was even higher than Ao's.

"That's enough." He said, then he turned to the pink-haired woman. "And forgive our rudeness, Succubus Queen. We will leave the party immediately."
