Chapter 383: This Unprovoked Spirit of Comparison

"Holy cow, is the soundproofing on this door really that good?"

The Fairy King was startled by the various screams coming from behind the door. She couldn't help but pat her chest, soothing her heart that had just been caught off guard by the sudden fright.

However, she adapted quickly. After all, as a Seeing Zhai Wu Hun, she was born for slaughter and battle. She inherited the combative and bloodthirsty nature of her original body, the Dragon Witch. She had only been startled just now because she was caught unprepared, but after regaining her composure, these screams even sounded somewhat pleasant to her ears.

After all, the personality of a giant dragon is somewhat similar to that of a cat. As beings at the very top of the food chain, their hunting is often no longer for the sake of survival, but more for the pleasure of body and mind. Many giant dragons will go hunting even when they are not hungry, just to enjoy the feeling of the prey desperately scattering and fleeing, yet being unable to escape their dragon maws.

Although many giant dragons have ended up being overturned by their prey in a desperate counterattack due to this nature of liking to toy with their prey, resulting in them successfully "throwing" their own lives away.

The Dragon Witch also has some tendencies in this regard; many among them have the bad habit of toying with prey and enjoying the prey's wails.

"Hiss, such wonderful screams. It seems those terrifying legends about the Torture Department are all true."

The Otaku Seeing Zhai Wu Hun pushed open the main door, and after following Mother inside, she tilted her head to listen for a while, then couldn't help but sigh with such emotion.

If one were to score these screams, with a perfect score of one hundred, the screams currently coming from the Inquisition could probably reach a level of over eighty. This is already a terrifying number, representing the kind of horrific torture behind these screams where every detailed description might attract the gaze of the River Crab mythical beast.

Fortunately, this Torture Department was unexpectedly particular; one didn't see a bloody torture scene immediately upon entering. Instead, there was a clean and tidy corridor, and on both sides of the corridor were individual torture rooms similar to private booths. The previous screams were coming from these torture rooms.

Yufilia walked in front, leading the way with practiced ease. The Otaku Seeing Zhai Wu Hun hurriedly followed, but when passing the entrance of each torture room, she ultimately couldn't resist her curiosity, slightly tiptoeing to peek into the small glass window on the door of the torture room.

"Sss..."

However, she saw nothing, because a pillar of blood suddenly erupted from inside, smearing the entire glass window crimson, which also scared the Otaku Seeing Zhai Wu Hun into immediately distancing herself from the door.

Good grief, what are they playing at in there? The blood volume is so high, it's just too freaking scary.

The Fairy King is kind-hearted and couldn't bear to see such things. She hurriedly quickened her pace to catch up with Mother, who had already walked a bit far ahead.

Soon, the two passed through the corridor and arrived at a place behind it that looked like a lounge hall.

"You wait here for a bit first; I'm going to go say hello to the person in charge of the Torture Department."

Yufilia said this to her daughter, then continued forward to knock on the door of an office inside the hall.

The person in charge of the Torture Department was the Grand Inquisitor of the Demon King faction, at the same rank as her. This time, her own daughter had caused a huge sensation in one go, adding such a heavy workload to the colleagues in the Torture Department; reasonably and sentimentally, she needed to come over to express something.

Although the Dragon Queen used to hate this Demon Witch colleague the most—after all, the personality of this old senior was truly a bit special, making her look very unsightly—but now it was different. She felt that she might have a lot of common topics with this old senior.

"Come in."

Just as she knocked on the door, a very gentle voice sounded from behind the door, and then Yufilia pushed the door and entered.

"Uh, it's you, Yufilia."

In the office, a witch with goat horns on her head and a black goat mask on her face looked up and glanced at the guest who pushed the door and entered, then let out a sigh of relief.

"Come in quickly, come in quickly. Why are you standing at the door? Sit down, sit down, and try the snacks I just made."

After Yufilia casually closed the office door, the waist of this Demon Witch, whose temperament was originally very elegant and proper, immediately bent down, and her entire temperament changed from dignified to kind.

She radiated a kind of kind temperament as if she had seen a close junior, and then happily took out a pile of various small snacks from her side, greeting the Dragon Queen in such a way.

Yufilia: "......"

The Dragon Queen, who was always domineering and majestic, was indeed still not used to being treated like a child, but there was no way around it. Facing this great senior, she had to hold it in even if she wasn't used to it; after all, the other party's age was longer than the history of their Jörmungandr clan.

This was an ancient Primordial Witch, one of the partners who followed Lord God King to fight in Heaven back then. At the same time, this person also had a special identity: she was the ancestor of Lord Demon King.

Well, no way around it. After all, even if the true progenitor of the Three Kings is actually the World Mother, there still had to be a Witch Mother to act as a surrogate. After all, one couldn't really just pop out of a crack in a stone.

From the perspective of bloodline, Lord Demon King was the blood descendant of this ancient Demon Witch currently in front of her.

Generally speaking, those ancient Primordial Witches had mostly retired from the world. Compared to dealing with trivial matters, they preferred to find a place to delve into their own path to divinity. But this one was an exception; she was one of the rare Primordial Witches who had been active from ancient times to the present.

Of course, these were not the point. The point was that this was a Sage, a Great Sage whose strength could rank in the top ten in the entire Witch World.

Even though Yufilia had always been confident in her own strength—although her rank was only Peak, she actually wasn't afraid of ordinary Sages at all—but facing this ancient Great Sage, she could only accept that "a senior is ultimately a senior."

"Lord Pan Shen, you should address me as Miejin."

The Dragon Queen ultimately couldn't resist correcting her.

She had always liked to do things according to the rules and didn't like to break them casually. Although she and this great senior both knew each other's true identities, as long as they were in the Inquisition, Yufilia still preferred to address each other by code names.

This wasn't because she was afraid of leaking secrets; it was mainly because one couldn't break the rules casually.

It was just a pity that if someone else broke the rules, she could still beat the other party up and let them learn a lesson, but facing this old senior, she could only correct her kindly.

"Tsk tsk tsk, alright, little Miejin, you really are still so rigid and serious, not at all having the vitality and vigor that a child should have."

The ancient Demon Witch with the code name Pan Shen obeyed and changed her address, but she complained a bit on her lips.

A child???

The corners of Yufilia's mouth under the mask twitched. She was almost two hundred years old and was already a child's mother; she really wasn't small anymore. But facing this ancient witch who was over a hundred thousand years old, what else could she say? She could only smile.

"Alright, Lord Pan Shen, let's talk about business first. How is the interrogation of that batch of Angel Witches going?"

To prevent this elderly senior from rambling on more, she hurriedly asked.

"That is naturally handled well. A bunch of overestimating-themselves trash just being clever, actually daring to try to utilize the power of the Lord of Radiance."

Upon mentioning this, the eyes of the ancient witch under the mask, who was just kind and amiable, narrowed slightly. She said this with a tone of being very disappointed that they didn't live up to expectations.

Because of her emotional fluctuation, various tragic and terrifying hellish illusions instantly evolved in this office. If an ordinary Grand Witch were in this office, she might be left dead or crippled by this unintentionally manifested power. This was also the reason why Yufilia didn't bring her own daughter to visit this old senior.

This was also the reason why most Primordial Witches lived in seclusion. They were all too strong; a little emotional fluctuation of theirs could be a devastating disaster for the weak. Although they could forcibly control it, the feeling of restraining oneself every day was ultimately not easy to bear.

If they still lived in a Witch City, it would be like giants living in a country of little people, having to be careful not to accidentally step on someone. This feeling of being tied hand and foot was uncomfortable.

Fortunately, Yufilia was not some weak existence. Although she might not be a match for this ancient witch for the time being, the gap was not that wide. Moreover, the Dragon Witch, who specialized in the Battle Method system, was famous for being thick-skinned and fleshy; the other party might not be able to kill her even if they went all out, let alone this little bit of power aftermath.

She could also understand this old senior's loss of composure at this moment. After all, involving that Lord of Radiance, for these Primordial Witches, that ancient Angel King was a nightmare that was only defeated with great difficulty, a mortal enemy. And now, their own unpromising descendants actually dared to try to utilize the power of this mortal enemy, which truly made them greatly furious.

There was nothing more uncomfortable for them than an old senior discovering that their descendants were unpromising and repeating the same mistakes.

"How could they be so stupid? Lord God King is so wise and martial, how come the descendants are now all so trashy? The long, comfortable life has already made them lose their sense of awe. One by one, they don't even weigh their own abilities, actually still thinking about utilizing the power of the Lord of Radiance. I don't even dare to be this brave now, what gives them the courage to do this? They don't even look in the mirror to see if they are worthy..."

Pan Shen became more furious the more she spoke, and the hellish landscape evolved by her power became even more terrifying, with various scenes of world apocalypse turning into reality.

It was just that these natural disaster-like scenes were like a breeze blowing across the face to the Dragon Queen, who just sat quietly opposite, acting as a listener.

For a long time, the old senior returned to normal. She restrained her anger, became kind and amiable again, and the look in her eyes when looking at this excellent junior opposite became even more gratified.

The more she hated the trashy descendants, the more she cherished the excellent ones. After all, people were old, and various desires had faded. Apart from the great wish of ascending to divinity, the only hope was to watch this group of descendants grow sturdily, preferably being able to surpass them.

And this little dragon opposite was so excellent at a young age, which really made her wish she could rip her heart and lungs out to express her joy. This was what the excellent successor of the Witch World, which they had fought so hard to win, should look like. With such a successor, the Witch World could have a better future.

"Speaking of which, that little fellow who led the team to catch people this time is also not bad, very excellent. I heard it's a good seedling you newly promoted, little Miejin. Not bad, not bad, already almost half as excellent as my little princess, worth cultivating well."

The previous anger had already been vented, and Pan Shen didn't want to mention those annoying trashy descendants anymore. She changed the subject and said this.

And regarding this, Yufilia, who had been calm and composed just now, instantly became energetic. She had been waiting for half a day, and you old person finally mentioned this. Thought you had changed your nature?

A big smile bloomed on the Dragon Witch's face under the mask.

This old senior Pan Shen didn't have any other hobbies on weekdays; her biggest hobby was showing off her children everywhere.

Although elderly people who were old seemed to be like this, this one's condition was particularly severe. No way around it, who let her family produce a Witch King like the Demon King?

With such family pride, whoever it was would love to show off everywhere.

Of course, Lord Demon King had already ascended the throne for tens of thousands of years, and one must definitely be respectful to the Witch King; one couldn't keep talking about other people's dark history from when they were young everywhere.

Well, ever since being beaten by the iron fist of Lord Demon King, who was full of filial piety, even a Great Sage like Pan Shen ultimately had to regretfully give up the grand plan of distributing photos of the Demon King as a chubby, cute little girl to all witches for free.

It was just a pity that even if she couldn't show off the Demon King, the best child, Pan Shen's hobby of showing off children still hadn't changed. Anyway, as the current number one strongest clan in the Witch World, there were plenty of excellent children in the Demon Kingdom. As the ancestor, Pan Shen could change to a different child every day for a year without repeating, showing them off all year round.

It was just that her hobby as an elderly person also made the other two Grand Inquisitors of the Inquisition very unhappy in the past.

Let's not even mention the God King faction. Looking at their own descendants, who were one more trashy and incompetent than the other, they were already full of anger. You old immortal still show off how excellent your family's child is in front of us every day; isn't this just poking at a sore spot?

Really, if it weren't for the fact that they really couldn't beat her, the God Might Grand Inquisitor of the God King faction, who was also a Sage, would have already taken action to beat people up.

As for Euphemia's side...

Well, guess what reaction a mother dragon who just lost her daughter would have if she saw someone showing off their children in front of her every day?

This was directly rubbing salt into the wound.

Otherwise, how do you think the Dragon Queen knew that she really couldn't beat this old senior?

"Oh, sorry, little Miejin. Look at my mouth."

At this time, Pan Shen also hurriedly covered her mouth, realizing she had said the wrong thing.

Ever since she was showing off her children as usual fifteen years ago, and then was suddenly challenged to a duel by this junior, and then was wildly beaten and bitten like a mad dragon, almost having her old bones dismantled, she specifically went to investigate what was going on with this junior and learned that the other party was a heartbroken person.

Although she was old and was a Demon Witch who liked to stab people in the heart, she ultimately retained a little bit of conscience, knowing that some jokes couldn't be made. So since then, she had been enduring so hard when facing this junior.

It was just that today, she rarely saw that there was a good seedling under the other party's command, and she really saw a talent and was happy, so she couldn't hold back for a moment.

However, what surprised Pan Shen very much was that this junior today seemed unexpectedly easy to talk to and actually didn't get angry.

"Lord Pan Shen, although you are a senior, I should respect you, but I cannot agree with this point. Although your little princess is excellent, compared to my newcomer, she is still lacking by that much."

Yufilia calmly picked up the tea Pan Shen had just poured for her, and then said this with a straight face.

Well, she suddenly understood why this old senior had this hobby of showing off children in the past.

This is really refreshing.

.... Dragon Queen is secretly enjoying it.... ===== CHAPTER 384 =====
