Chapter 16: The question is, “They were blinded by hatred.”

According to the flow of the story, shouldn’t Chloe be expressing her affectionate longing for her Demon King mother right now?

Yalith really wanted to say that what she had been hoping for was Chloe answering that she wanted a hug from her.

Unfortunately, after a brief moment of thought and facing cruel reality, she knew it was impossible.

The word “cute” should never be applied to Chloe. Only “despicable”…

No, now it should be “naughty and unruly.” That description suited Chloe perfectly.

It not only matched her original intention, but also fit the traits that guy Clay ought to have.

What kind of foolishness had possessed her to think that her daughter—who had acted arrogantly for five whole years—would, after gaining the memories of that shameless human youth, suddenly turn into a pitiful little thing who clung to her Demon King mother and feared being abandoned?

If Chloe hadn’t secretly used some succubus trick on her while she wasn’t paying attention, she, the Demon King, might as well abdicate early and hand the throne to someone more worthy.

Yalith’s thoughts moved with her will. Before reaching a conclusion, she raised her hand and swiftly grabbed the soft flesh at the little girl’s waist. She didn’t pinch, only scratched lightly.

A layer of crimson instantly dyed Chloe’s fair cheeks, spreading to the snow-white skin on her neck and chest, looking extremely alluring.

“Mommy, what are you doing…”

Chloe felt a bit nervous at Yalith’s action and genuinely experienced a shy embarrassment.

Strictly speaking, she was now Chloe who had obtained Clay’s entire lifetime of memories, not Clay who had gained five years of life as a demon princess. Deep in her heart, she truly saw Yalith as her mother.

After all, who could refuse such a beautiful and powerful woman as a dependable family member?

Right now she was simply influenced by the dirty thoughts of an adult, adding a few other ideas.

Moreover, she couldn’t deny the impulse in her heart to do some “handiwork.”

Her reason was still present, but her body was somewhat out of control. Both her face and ears were burning, and her heartbeat was ridiculously fast. Chloe believed that from her neck down to her chest was now covered in a thin layer of red, and it definitely looked very tempting.

Under such circumstances, being held so intimately by such a beautiful person like Yalith while still managing to speak normally was already quite difficult.

“What am I doing? As a mother, now that my daughter has grown up, it’s naturally time to fulfill a demon mother’s duty and teach you things that only adult demons understand.”

Yalith curled her lips. The words she spoke made Chloe’s spirit perk up.

“No… I already call you Mommy!”

She bit the tip of her tongue to express refusal, looking at the Demon King with pleading eyes. The crimson in those red pupils had become even more dazzling.

She was a little afraid that Yalith would end this boring house-playing game and devour her completely, leaving the little bit of emotion in her heart empty.

“You are, after all, my first embrace. ‘Daughter’ is just a title I gave you, Chloe. Therefore, whatever I want you to do or whatever I want to do to you, you have no right to refuse.”

Yalith was very domineering. She pulled down the thin gauze on her shoulder that covered her delicate collarbone, exposing her alluring skin to Chloe’s already somewhat out-of-control gaze.

Chloe immediately covered her eyes with both hands, trying to escape. But the sound of fabric being torn did not stop. After a few ripping sounds, curiosity in her heart made Chloe’s hands covering her eyes involuntarily part a little, creating small gaps.

“If you want to look, just look openly. It’s not like we haven’t bathed together before.”

Yalith’s teasing way of speaking, combined with her appearance, had a charm that Chloe couldn’t describe.

Chloe’s mind instantly became chaotic.

The affection for her mother, the covetous feelings that had arisen the day she had regarded Yalith as a goddess, now swelled with the restlessness in her heart, making her itch unbearably.

After all, what Yalith said made perfect sense.

She was a girl now!

She was a genuine demon princess, the daughter of the Demon King who had a large group of maids!

Not to mention she had kissed the Flame Demon princess not long ago, and nothing had happened. Although Rita had the idea of offering herself, that was just a joke between good sisters. No one would take it seriously. She was only thirteen years old at most.

So what was there to feel awkward about when facing her own mother?

That’s right. Not only that, she could wear whatever little dress she wanted and dig however she wanted…

With her thoughts cleared, Chloe made up her mind and lowered her hands, preparing to properly appreciate her mother’s graceful bearing. But she saw Yalith looking at her with a face full of teasing.

Although the outer clothing had been pulled away, Yalith, who was still wearing her inner garment, wasn’t exposed at all. At this moment she only looked a bit more charming. In other words…

She had completely unnecessary acted shy just now. Yalith had never intended to actually strip naked!

How could she do this?

Wasn’t this deceiving a child? What an excessive old woman.

Seeing her face instantly turn bright red and her teeth clenched, Yalith, whose mood had improved, chuckled:

“Oh, I almost forgot. My good daughter seemed to have died as a virgin in her previous life.”

“You dare scold me again?”

Chloe couldn’t help raising her finger to point at Yalith’s nose. The other party didn’t mind at all and instead proactively moved her face closer, pressing the tip of her nose against Chloe’s fingertip.

“So as Mommy, I can fully understand why you, after regaining your memories, are so eager to understand a girl’s body. That’s how virgins are.”

“I’m not! I don’t have that!”

“Yes, you’re not a virgin, and you don’t have that thing anymore.”

“I! Waaah… You’re bullying me!”

Unable to argue with her, Chloe directly started crying. Yalith now confirmed that what she had was a Chloe who possessed Clay’s memories, not Clay who had taken over Chloe’s body. She became even more natural as she hooked a strand of Chloe’s hair that had fallen across her forehead and twirled it around her fingertip, saying softly:

“Bullying you? What’s wrong with a mother bullying her daughter? Besides, we are demons, my good daughter. Those are things from your previous life. Why still care about them? I’m praising you for keeping yourself pure. My little baby can’t just casually give away her innocence to others.”

“I… I don’t want to be a miner anymore. I want to change back. Being a captain is better.”

Thinking she was about to be cursed with something like chastity prohibition that would stop her from doing anything lewd, Chloe immediately chose to beg for mercy.

Taking revenge on the Hero was indeed one of her major pursuits, but turning into a girl and then being made into a eunuch—she absolutely refused.

“What are you mumbling about? Let me put a curse on you first… Hmm, one where if you do it, you’ll explode and perish together with the other person. How about that?”

“Why don’t you curse me so that whenever I get intimate I become addicted? Then I can lure the Hero over and make her your daughter…”

Before she could finish, Chloe received a punch to the head from Yalith.

“You like that guy? Or is that your method of revenge? You are a demon, my daughter! Come up with something more decent.”

The moment Yalith heard Chloe say such words, she inexplicably grew angry. She increasingly felt that she really should put a lock on her daughter. If she somehow muddle-headedly became the Hero’s mother-in-law, who would provide the fun she wanted?

“I don’t like flat ones…”

Chloe muttered softly. Yalith was stunned. She looked down at her own chest and her mouth twitched.

“Head or butt?”

“Who said it was you, you old woman! I don’t like you at all, you old hag Demon King! Aaaah!”

There was no need to care what Chloe actually wanted to do anymore. Yalith was certain that at this moment, what she needed to fulfill was definitely a mother’s authority and nothing else.

She had to beat this unruly rebellious daughter into obedience.
