2: Underneath A Thousand Skies

257 This Psychopathic Demon Is Psychic (9)

"Yes, how can we let His Majesty see a joke..."

"Your Majesty, please reconsider your decision!"

Because several of their attendants have already died, some of the demon lords began to protest. Wouldn't this mean that they would be directly disqualified from the competition?

The Demon King laughed and lifted his empty cup. He stretched his arm, and gently released his hold. The cup fell to the ground and shattered into a thousand pieces, the loud sound causing a deathly silence to fall over the room.

As if nothing had happened, he leaned back on his throne and looked at them with his glacier-colored eyes. "Did you hear me asking for your opinion?"

Song Jia hid behind Yanluo even more, shivering from head to toe. As expected of the king of demons, his every move was terrifying!

Aside from Song Jia, there were two attendants left that remained alive. Hearing that they would perform in front of the Great Demon King and represent their lord, one of them directly passed out from terror and nerves. The other attendant, who came with Piencheng, became so nervous that she could barely execute a few dance moves without collapsing.

Almost too quickly, it became Song Jia's turn to perform.

Yanluo looked at her. His eyes held a warning of what would happen if she failed. He never said a word, but his eyes filled up the blanks for Song Jia.

If she failed to please the Great Demon King, she would quickly find out just how much she would weigh in gold.

Song Jia, "..."

Song Jia wanted to cry. She liked money, but she didn't want to turn and become one!

Left with no choice, Song Jia trudged towards the center of the conference room in small steps. There wasn't much she could do with a child's body, which limited her choices on what kind of talent to perform.

Song Jia adjusted her maid cap and gritted her teeth. This grandma will just have to sell meng [1] and hope that the Great Demon King's heart will melt into Q candy! [2]

Music started to play, and peculiar expressions began to appear on all of the faces of the demon lords. It was because the lyrics were rather...unique.

"Like the kitty in the house, we sing meow meow meow meow meow. Like the cutie on the prowl, come on meow meow meow meow meow...."

Song Jia raised her head and swished her hips, letting her dress flare around her legs. Gathering all of her courage, she raised her hands and imitated a cat's paws while winking at the Demon King.

"As a cat I may hiss aloud. Sometimes I threaten you with teeth and my claws, but you were so tender...like the kitty in the house, we sing meow meow meow meow meow..." [3]

Inwardly, Song Jia wanted to die. But on the outside, she was still blowing a kiss to the Great Demon King and sending him several finger hearts, hoping that one of them would act like a bazooka and thaw his frigid expression. Wuwu, this grandma is already trying her best, ah~

"I will love you and your smile, will taste the sweet and sour. Have a dream beyond the clouds, and I'll be with you no matter how..."

As the song ended, Song Jia cupped her cheeks and blinked cutely. She was so cute, she would definitely not die. If she still died after this humiliation, just watch and see, this grandma would definitely haunt him for all of eternity!

"..."

The Great Demon King was silent. That wave of intense killing intent coming from her...was definitely directed at him, right?

All of the demon lords were speechless at Song Jia's performance. Sending finger hearts to the Great Demon King...not even Piencheng had the guts to do that.

Did this lolita want to court death?

"Very good."

The cold and bland voice woke all of the demon lords' up from their speculation, and they were stunned to see that the Great Demon King actually had a smile on his face. He stepped out of his throne and picked up Song Jia, who had frozen into a statue. As he carried her in his arms, their gazes locked with each other.

At close range, Song Jia realized that the Great Demon King did not look as indifferent as he appeared to be. His gaze was soft, containing some kind of indescribable emotion that she couldn't understand.

Song Jia felt that the arms holding her were a bit tight, as if he was suppressing something. He lifted a hand and pinched her cheek, murmuring in a voice that only the two of them could hear.

"How cute. En, how very, very cute, ah."

Song Jia's whole body erupted in goosebumps.
