After killing the male lead, I was forced to sell myself to the female lead

From a despised child to the crown prince,

Now he is about to counterattack again and become the emperor of Xue Ye Empire!

but,

After becoming emperor, one has to consider the stability of the empire.With his current strength, coupled with the help of the General Protecting the Nation, who is an eighth-rank battle god, it would not be too easy to clean up the opposition in the imperial capital.

The issue is,

'The Dukes of the North...'

think of this,

Xue Tianao slowly picked up the black tablet, and used it to read all the information that Peloci had sent back.As this group of intelligence came into view, the smile on Xue Tianao's face became brighter.

The previous attack by Xueba,

And the invasion of the Holy Cult of Heaven's Punishment?

It seems that it has helped me a lot, weakened the strength of the northern army, and even severely damaged the Marquis and his wife? And the eighth-level guardian beast.Hahahaha, God help me~

and,

Most importantly, the famous question?It's also solved~

Ms. Duke, who has turned into a humanoid abyss demon, isn't this the reason why it was sent from heaven? !You must know that on the continent of Ancheka, almost all countries have strict laws and regulations, that is, the power of Silent Shadow must not be touched!Although I don't know why Miss Yuan'er turned into a deep demon.

But now that he has become Yuanmo, he is given a reason to label him.

If his judgment is correct, maybe he can lead to a demon king rank~

As long as it is eliminated, there will be another wave of points.

'This is really good news. '

Thinking of this, Xue Tianao's blue eyes were filled with joy,

but,

The next moment, as if thinking of something, the crown prince suddenly raised his brows,

Looking at Zhang again, the photo that Peloci sent back before he lost contact made him quite concerned.

"Blood Butterfly, a humanoid abyss demon with wisdom..."

OK, communicate.

If you can……

After being dazed for a while, Xue Tianao tried to get in touch with an acquaintance by using the communication magic stone on the side.

"Mo Xiao, can I trouble you to come here?"

……

……

About an hour later, an ordinary black-haired man who couldn't be found in the crowd walked into Xue Tianao's office with some anxiety.The timid appearance caused the two guards outside the door to show a little displeasure.

However, after seeing this thin black-haired man, Xue Tianao rarely showed a smile,

after all,

This unremarkable man is worth A grade~

He is an intelligence dealer with unique skills, and he is also a person who is very good at investigation.

Because I haven't waved off this person's income yet, I saw that the other party accepted my proposal and came to the palace of the empress dowager.Xue Tianao felt a little joy.

"Long time no see, Mo Xiao, are you still used to life in the capital?"

"Many, thank you His Royal Highness for your concern, everything is fine."

Mo Xiao said respectfully, but there was still a hint of fear in his tone,

Regarding this, Xue Tianao restrained the oppression that was looming all over his body, deliberately put on an amiable appearance,

"Don't worry, it's the same as before, just treat me as a drinking buddy. However, I am really flattered that you are still in the imperial capital and willing to come to see me."

"Don't dare to act. Your Highness repelled the Flame Prison and saved my family in the south. Naturally, I need to repay Your Highness. Since your Highness needs me to do something urgent, I will naturally come back."

"Oh I got it."

Xue Tianao nodded with a smile,

"Then I won't play tricks with you."

With that said, Xue Tianao stepped down from his seat, and handed a portrait of a woman to the black-haired man not far away,

And the moment he took the portrait and saw the portrait of the woman above, Mo Xiao trembled all over, his pupils shrank suddenly, showing an extremely shocked expression, and his heartbeat accelerated instinctively.

"This, this girl, so beautiful? She, who is she?"

"Abyss Demon."

"Huh? Your Highness, are you kidding me?"

"No, I'm not joking. She is the new demon king named 'Blood Butterfly' that was recently uploaded on the mainland."

"What, what?!"

After getting Xue Tianao's affirmative answer, Mo Xiao couldn't help letting out an exclamation, then stared at the woman on the portrait,

"This is the true face of Xuedie? Such a beautiful girl is actually a cruel Yuanmo? This, this is, what a pity..."

"Oh, that's not necessarily true."

"What? Your Highness, what did you say?"

"Ah. It's nothing, you don't have to worry about it."

"Oh fine."

After continuing to stare at the portrait for a while, Mo Xiao finally woke up from the shock, and then looked at Xue Tianao suspiciously: "Then, Your Royal Highness, what do you want to do with this portrait for me? "

"I want you to help me investigate, what is the relationship between the two of them, or are they the same person?"

As he said that, Xue Tianao handed over another portrait,

And this portrait is exactly what Xue Tianao found after sorting out Peroch's information in the past two days.

"This is?"

"This is the Black Rose family, the eldest lady who has been making a lot of noise recently."

"Huh?! Wait?! Here, they, what?..."

The moment he saw another portrait, Mo Xiao froze in place again,

because,

Except for the color of the eyes, the girls on these two portraits are really similar...

Chapter 2 The relative status of the Duke family

A few days ago,

With Wilt's defeat and escape, and the help of the Black Rose family.The crisis in the Windward City was completely over.When the remnants of the Heavenly Punishment Sect were all defeated or fled the city, peace and tranquility finally returned to the city.

only,

After experiencing this great battle, the huge Windward City is almost riddled with holes.One-third of the city's interior was reduced to ruins, especially the city center, where the eighth-order powerhouses fought.Although these strong men basically fought in the air, the aftermath of the battle still turned the urban area below into a sea of ​​flames and purgatory, completely entering a state of destruction.

Tens of thousands of people died in this conflict, hundreds of thousands were injured and millions were displaced.

The largest city in the north has undoubtedly suffered unprecedented damage.The whole city is in a state of extreme depression and sadness.

but,

Fortunately, even in such a depressing atmosphere,

With the assistance of the Blizzard Knights and Siketa and several other capable members of the Duke family, the reconstruction of the entire city and the resettlement of refugees are proceeding in an orderly manner.

The only more troublesome problem is that transportation and communication have suffered a devastating blow. After all, the Holy Cult of Heaven's Punishment wanted to completely eliminate the possibility of asking for help from the outside world in the City of Wind.

Rebuilding roads and communications will cost a lot of money.This made the finances of the City of Wind, which was not rich already, even worse.

however,

Funding for reconstruction and compensation for people's property, etc., which should have troubled the Marquis's family, have no effect now.

This is also thanks to the generosity of the Black Rose family...

of course,

There is no free lunch in the world,

As a price, the income from the mining of ice crystal mines in the northern border will be completely attributed to the Black Rose family in the next ten years.

However, the current Duke family is unable to pay attention to such a major event.The entire Duke family is overwhelmed by the mess Benjamin left behind.At the same time, the Marquis and his wife, who are the backbone of the family, were unable to participate in the handling of affairs due to serious injuries.

The atmosphere in the Marquis Mansion can be said to be more depressing,

However, this situation seems to have improved a little this morning...

--

now,

In the early morning, in the center of the city, on the edge of the Marquis' Mansion, in a relatively well-preserved house, a woman's moving cry came out impressively,

"Xia...Xia'er! It's good that you're fine, it's good that you're fine, I'm really worried, I thought they arrested you..."

inside the house,

Under the eyes of all the servants with tears in their eyes, Afnora, who had just woken up, was excitedly hugging the lovely pink-haired girl tightly in her arms, and tears slowly flowed from her eyes. shed.After hugging for a long time and feeling the girl's warmth, Afnola reluctantly released the little girl from her embrace,

"By the way, Xia'er, are you injured?"

Facing Avenola's question, Ms. Yumo, who was transformed into 'Xia'er' again, shook her head helplessly.

The heart is even more complex,

Yumo is very clear,

This kind of gentle voice, the look of attachment, and the hand gently caressing him, all don't belong to me...

It belongs to 'Xia'er'.

but,

Oh, forget it, let's continue to cooperate for a while.They have experienced so much misfortune, and it may be cruel to show them now...

"It's okay, Grandma, I'm fine."

Yumo smiled sweetly, showing the innocence and cuteness of the little girl to the fullest.While cute, there is also a hint of worry about the family.Hearing these words, especially the long-awaited 'Grandma', Avenola was quite moved, and couldn't help but hug Yumo into her arms again,

"Xia'er, you are finally...willing...to call me grandma..."

"..."

In this regard, Yumo just smiled slightly, and quietly leaned against Avenora's arms, enjoying this wonderful "care" from the elders.In a sense, Yumo enjoys it quite a bit. After all, this kind of care has never been enjoyed since she came to this world more than 500 years ago...

"Well, don't worry grandma, I'm fine."

"Xia'er..."

While the two were enjoying the warm time, the doctor beside him said helplessly, "Miss Xia'er, Madam just woke up, and now I still need to do some physical examinations, can you give us some space?"

"Well, I see, Dr. Rowling."

Yumo nodded obediently,

"Then grandma, I'm leaving first, you have a good rest."

"Well, let's go, Xia'er."

While responding, Avenola reluctantly let go of the girl in her arms,

Then, he watched the girl slowly leave the room...

--

After leaving Avenola's room, Miss Yumo took a leisurely walk in the dilapidated garden.Looking at the countless temporary tents and huts not far away, and the group of busy people among them, Miss Yumo sighed helplessly,

'Really, it's hard work for them. '
