Chapter 261 An Astonishing Quantity
"Jiang Demon King, you're really lucky! You got two sons for free!"
"Yes, Jiang Demon King, how is your brother doing lately?"
Just as Jiang the Demon King was giving up on himself, many other demon kings around him secretly called out to him using telepathy.
Jiang the Demon King: "..."
Can you all please stop being so gossipy? "Demon King's Palace, Demon King?" You sound like long-tongued gossips!
Jiang Mowang was furious.
[Lan Yue: What could these twins possibly do to their father? Would they secretly badmouth him behind his back?]
Lan Yue also has twin friends, and they are very close. After the two of them recognized the Insect Witch, they even agreed to take care of each other in their old age. What a responsible and devoted friend they are! She really can't imagine what these two guys from the Demon Realm are capable of.
[System: That's a long story. Actually, Jiang the Demon King's younger brother isn't very talented, nor is he good-looking. However, he's extremely confident that he's the most handsome man in the Demon Realm, so he's very jealous of Jiang the Demon King's ascension to the throne and his marriage to the previous Demon King's daughter.]
[So, taking advantage of the time when Jiang the Demon King was away on a mission in the cultivation world, he transformed into a handsome human man and became involved with Jiang's demon wife, fathering many children. However, only a pair of twins were presentable, so after Jiang the Demon King returned, they promptly sent the twins to him.]
Lan Yue suddenly realized why Jiang Demon King's younger brother, who wasn't good-looking and wasn't strong enough, could still have a demon liking him—it turned out he had changed his appearance!
[Lan Yue: So what's next? Is that younger brother unhappy that his son is being raised by another demon?]
system:"..."
[Host, you're overthinking it. That younger brother is having a blast. After all, raising children costs magic crystals and resources. He can't even afford to raise his own, let alone children. He even thinks his older brother raised his twins very well. Later, he had Jiang Demon King's demon wife send over other children to him. Over the past thousand years, he's sent over a hundred.]
Lan Yue was dumbfounded. That younger brother was incredibly prolific! How could he be so brazen as to give all his children to his older brother and make him believe they were his own? Brilliant, truly brilliant!
Behind the Sixth Prince, Jiang the Demon King's expression went from disbelief at the beginning to a flushed face, and finally his eyes went numb.
It turns out that over the years, out of the hundreds of children he fathered, very few were actually his own!
Jiang the Demon King did want the whole thing to be fake, but when he saw the evasive look in his demon wife's eyes, he instantly understood.
He was considerate of the fact that she had given birth to so many children for him over a thousand years, so he was very tolerant of his demon wife. Even though his wife and the retired old demon king often stole things from his secret realm, he just accepted it without complaint.
Who told this demon wife to bear him over a hundred children? Now it seems it was all a lie; he's even worse than that Demon King Luo!
At least Luo Mowang was cheated on by his own son, but his son was real!
Jiang the Demon King was in a daze, feeling as if he were a huge joke.
"It's alright. Raising over a hundred more children is no big deal. I am the Demon King of the Demon King's Palace, with so many secret realms under my control. I can afford to raise these children. Besides, they are at least my brothers."
He tried to comfort himself with these words over and over again, but no matter how much he tried to comfort himself, tears still involuntarily streamed down his face.
Was it easy for him?
"Don't be angry, don't be angry. The son may be fake, but at least the younger brother is real..."
Jiang the Demon King muttered to himself in his mind.
However, the next second, he broke through his defenses again.
[Lan Yue: This younger brother is really impolite. Jiang the Demon King is his brother, not his father. If he knew he'd raised so many sons for nothing, wouldn't he be furious?]
The system's tone was subtle.
[Actually, calling him "brother" is a bit of a stretch, because this younger brother has no blood relation to that demon king; he just shamelessly clung to him.]
[System: Of course, I won't go into detail about that. Let me tell you about how these twins colluded with their father to plot against Jiang the Demon King.]
[Perhaps the twins and their father felt they lacked the talent to become the Demon King, and might never have the chance. So they conspired to poison the Demon King, and then, when the poison took effect, have the younger brother challenge him. This way, they could easily win and seize the throne.]
To make the scene more vivid, the system even played a video of the twin demon generals and their father's secret plot, which was then displayed in the minds of all the demons.
Lan Yue watched with great interest, while the demons around her were all shocked.
A thoughtful look flashed in the eyes of those demon kings; only now did they truly realize just how powerful this mystical artifact was.
It can actually unfold scenes from the past thousand years in their minds—what kind of mystical artifact is this? Does such a mystical artifact really exist?
Perhaps only legendary celestial artifacts can do that.
They all had their own plans, and some looked at the Sixth Prince with wariness, while others wanted to win him over.
Jiang the Demon King could no longer see any of this; he was now charred and cracked beyond recognition and unable to speak.
