The first night in the Demon Realm, filled with unknown unrest, thus ended.
The next day, as the sky brightened, Shien Buztout woke up, feeling a sense of unfamiliarity.
“…Without a capable maid by my side, I have to wash and dress myself in the morning.”
Shien was speechless, not because of his treatment, but because he had become accustomed to waking up already washed, dressed, and even possibly having certain needs taken care of.
Before, Shien hadn’t noticed anything amiss.
But now, waking up with a slight discomfort in his mouth and his wrinkled clothes, he realized he had truly become used to being pampered.
“That maid is truly addictive.”
Shien clearly recognized this.
But at the same time, he felt an even stronger urge to keep that maid by his side.
“Since she said we’ve already done everything, perhaps next time…”
Shien began to scheme, not realizing how villainous his thoughts were.
That overly perfect, even somewhat frightening maid, was truly addictive.
Thinking of this, Shien got up to wash and dress.
But after getting up, he realized that even without Lasha, he didn’t have to worry about not being served.
Just as he left his room, several beautiful Shajin women entered, offering to attend to him.
So, Shien once again experienced the same treatment as at yesterday’s banquet, being washed and dressed by these beautiful Shajin women, his legs feeling slightly weak as he left the room.
Don’t misunderstand, his legs were weak from being massaged.
Throughout the process of washing and dressing, the massages never stopped, the treatment fit for an emperor.
“This Shajin Clan is also addictive,” Shien couldn’t help but comment.
Under such circumstances, Shien left the Shajin Clan’s settlement and was led to a plaza.
The plaza was bustling with activity.
“Roar…”
“Howl…”
Monsters were kept in cages, like goods about to be transported, making faint noises.
The Shajin Clan members gathered here, preparing for a long journey.
They didn’t prepare a caravan, but several large flying monsters.
Clearly, they would be traveling by air.
Shajina, directing the clan members carrying various goods, stopped upon seeing Shien and bowed.
“Greetings, Master,” Shajina said with a bright smile and a friendly tone, “Did you sleep well last night?”
Shien looked at this innocent and beautiful Shajin girl, sighing inwardly at the abundance of beauties in this other world, then shrugged casually.
“It was alright, I’m not picky about where I sleep.”
His natural and unassuming reply made Shajina’s smile widen.
While Shien was observing Shajina, she was also observing him.
This excessively young human was a genuine Legendary-level expert. How he felt about their hospitality and his view of their clan were extremely important to the entire Shajin Clan.
Although Shajina had never interacted with a Legendary-level expert before, she knew that in the Demon Realm, where strength was paramount, displeasing a Legendary-level expert could bring about utter destruction.
In the past, many tribes were annihilated because of a Legendary expert’s anger.
Therefore, encountering a Legendary-level expert was both a blessing and a curse for the Shajin Clan.
The blessing was that if they could win his favor, it would be greatly beneficial to a small and insignificant tribe like theirs.
The curse was that if they failed to please him, annihilation wasn’t impossible.
He could easily annihilate the vanguard of the domineering and aggressive Hoof Clan, known for their plundering. Wiping out the entire Shajin Clan would be child’s play for him.
Therefore, while trying to build a relationship with Shien, Shajina couldn’t help but worry about whether their hospitality was adequate.
A Legendary-level expert must be accustomed to the best treatment, right?
The Shajin Clan’s resources were limited, and if they couldn’t satisfy Shien, the consequences were unimaginable.
Because of this, both Shajina and Sharion were extremely careful with their arrangements and hospitality yesterday, afraid of displeasing Shien.
Sharion even subtly suggested to Shajina that she should accompany Shien back.
The meaning behind this was obvious.
Shajina had considered it.
Not because she was casual, but because she genuinely believed that offering herself to Shien wasn’t unacceptable.
First, Shien was young, only slightly older than her, yet already a Legendary-level expert, his talent and potential making Shajina’s heart flutter.
Second, unlike most demons, he looked similar to the Shajin people, fitting her aesthetic preferences.
