Both her mind and body were on the verge of collapse. Right now, even a Little Demon could push her over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I just finished handling official duties for Her Majesty the Queen…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The thought had just surfaced before she crushed it herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Useless!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the way Camilla looked now, it was obvious she had come specifically for her. And judging by her stance, she might have been waiting here for quite a while.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her malice was already so intense that she no longer bothered to hide it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as cold sweat streamed down Lilia’s back and she was thinking whether she would be torn to pieces or turned into a Succubus dessert, Camilla had already walked up to her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A rich and sweet fragrance rushed toward her, carrying an aggressive intensity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Camilla was half a head taller than Lilia. She lowered her head slightly, almost pressing against Lilia’s ear, and spoke in a tone like a lover’s whisper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Do you know, little toy?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I just went to the document transport station.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lilia’s heart sank sharply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Those newly delivered documents were arranged quite neatly.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no emotion in Camilla’s voice as she extended a finger painted with bright red polish and lightly traced it across Lilia’s cheek.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cold touch made Lilia’s body tremble uncontrollably.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As expected, she came to pick trouble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And that thing you came up with… those ‘forms’?” Camilla’s tone carried unmistakable ridicule. “They’re… ugly in a very distinctive way.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“However…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Camilla withdrew her hand, stepped back, crossed her arms, and looked Lilia up and down with a scrutinizing, critical gaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Although they’re ugly, they are indeed… somewhat useful.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huh?” Lilia froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She suspected that, due to excessive fatigue, she had started hallucinating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“After I left today, I reviewed a few supply requests submitted by the legions.” Disgust appeared openly on Camilla’s face. “Those muscle-brained idiots used to write things that were completely unreadable.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But today,” she paused, “although what they submitted was still stupid, at least I could understand what they wanted to do and how much they needed.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That ridiculous thing you made actually allowed those generals—who can barely even write their own names properly—to learn how to file reports.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“On this point, I admit—you did well.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lilia was completely stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She stood there blankly, her brain processor directly crashing from this sudden 180-degree turn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What was going on?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wasn’t this woman just looking like she wanted to eat her alive a moment ago?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why had she suddenly started giving professional praise?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was this some new kind of humiliation tactic? Lift you up first, then make you fall even harder?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Had workplace bullying in the Demon Realm already evolved to this level?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Lilia’s dumbfounded expression, Camilla seemed to be in a better mood, the mocking smile on her lips deepening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What? One compliment from me and you’re already scared senseless?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Or did you think I would deny your contribution to the Palace of Eternal Night out of jealousy?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Camilla let out a scoff.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t think of me as someone as lowly as you, little maid. I may dislike you, but I’m not so despicable that I’d deny facts.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The order of the Demon Realm stands above all. Any act that stabilizes Her Majesty the Queen’s rule and improves the efficiency of the Palace of Eternal Night deserves recognition.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her words landed with force, carrying an innate pride and authority.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only at this moment did Lilia truly realize that the one standing before her was not merely a woman blinded by jealousy, but a member of the ruling class in the Abyss Demon Realm with immense power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had her pride, her principles, and the bearing of a duke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The storm in Lilia’s heart was no less turbulent than before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had originally thought Camilla was a pure enemy—someone who would only trip her up and wished for her immediate death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now… things seemed far more complicated than she had imagined.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So…” Lilia opened her mouth, only to find her throat dry. She swallowed and carefully organized her words. “Duke Camilla, you… you came specifically to… praise me?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Praise you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As if she had heard the greatest joke in the world, Camilla let out a crisp, pleasant laugh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But there was not a trace of warmth in it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t think too highly of yourself, little toy.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The laughter abruptly stopped, and Camilla’s expression instantly turned cold again. That familiar, suffocating malice once more enveloped Lilia.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I acknowledge that your work has some value—that doesn’t mean I acknowledge you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She stepped closer again, her beautiful eyes surging with undisguised jealousy and possessiveness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I just came to tell you—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t think that just because you’ve achieved a little, you can grow arrogant in front of Her Majesty the Queen.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t think that gaining a bit of favor means you can covet what does not belong to you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her voice dropped extremely low, filled with warning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I still find you very unpleasant.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Especially… that faint scent on you that belongs to Her Majesty the Queen—it truly makes me…!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So, I’ll be watching you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ll watch your every move. The moment you reveal the slightest flaw, or show any disrespect toward Her Majesty the Queen…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Camilla leaned close to Lilia’s ear and said word by word in a voice only the two of them could hear:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I will personally twist off your neck.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After speaking, she straightened up and gave Lilia one last deep look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That gaze was like she was looking at a plaything already marked for death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then she turned and walked away with elegant yet deadly steps, her slender figure quickly disappearing into the shadows of the corridor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“……”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lilia stood frozen in place, completely motionless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only after Camilla’s presence completely vanished from her perception did her tense body suddenly go limp. She leaned against the wall behind her, gasping for breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her back was already soaked in cold sweat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She raised her hand and touched her neck, where the icy killing intent from Camilla’s words seemed to linger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her mind was in complete chaos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So… was that a warning, or was that some kind of approval?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Supporting herself against the wall, Lilia felt her already exhausted mind become even more muddled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She could only feel that the Demon Realm… was far more complicated than she had imagined.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And that high and mighty Queen Hera seemed to occupy an almost unimaginable, near-religious status in the hearts of these demons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lilia closed her eyes in exhaustion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Forget it. If she couldn’t figure it out, then she wouldn’t think about it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At least… she was still alive for now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the fact that Camilla hadn’t attacked her today was already tremendously good news.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dragging her heavy steps, Lilia walked toward her room, each step feeling like she was walking on cotton.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right now, she just wanted to sleep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chief Inspector, document audits, Camilla’s threats…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All of that could wait until after she woke up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Returning to her small maid room, Lilia didn’t even take off her clothes before collapsing straight onto the bed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment her consciousness touched the soft pillow, it fell into endless darkness.\u003C\u002Fp>",1319,"2026-06-05T19:51:49.418Z",1,"novelbin.me","f951ff962e4dfd6765a6cfd215ef2b68aeffcebf6fac8704200ad1ef36283b05","after-gender-transformation-i-was-adjusted-by-th-chapter-42","after-gender-transformation-i-was-adjusted-by-th-chapter-40",86,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fafter-gender-transformation-i-was-adjusted-by-th-cover.jpg"]
