Chapter 2 (2/2)

Yinzhen nodded his head repeatedly. It's unusual that his younger brother had a feeling for a woman. It's not a bad thing. However, why was she a human!

In the traditional point of view of the Demons, human beings were inferior. After they invaded the Mortal Realm, the leaders.h.i.+p deliberately led the opinions. They already put human at the position equivalent to farm livestock. They were considered indecent lowly animals.

Among the ruling, Yinzhen clearly knew that was actually not the case. Although humans were no match of Demons at natural strength and battle capability, their spirits were no second to any other races. Especially, they had many emotions that were difficult for Demons to understand, so as they could always display some unexpected strengths. If not for such reasons, this lowly race would have long been conquered by the Demon Race.

However what did his brother have on his mind? If he only wanted to take in a concubine, that would be harmless. There usually were a lot of human slaves in high-ranking Demons' mansions. It was nothing to be surprised at. However, seeing Temujin's scorching look, Yinzhen worried. The kid mean it!

”Then, what is your plan? Are you gonna take her as a bondmaid...” Pretending to be nonchalant, Yinzhen wanted to test his younger brother's true heart.

As he expected, Temujin frowned his eyebrows. As far as he concerned, he just wanted to make friends with Eris. He hadn't even thought about romance. The ever victorious champion in battlefield, the supreme sovereign of the Demon Race, he was nothing different from normal people when it came to dealing with love, no more than a dull boy.

His reaction was thoroughly observed by Yinzhen. It made Yinzhen begin to worry.

This look, it can't be wrong. It was the same look on king father's face. Although fourteenth brother has not yet found out his feelings, maybe one day he will have true affection for that woman. That's not good!

Thinking as such, Yinzhen remained unperturbed and asked smilingly: ”Or say, you want to take her as a royal concubine? You said she is kind of a princess. If you like her, I will send an army to take her first thing tomorrow. Let her be your royal concubine. How about that?”

”Fourth brother! I… I didn't mean that!” Temujin's face reddened, frantically waving his hands, saying hurriedly: ” Anyway, I'm not yet at the age for wedding!”

”Ha ha ha… You are the Great Demon King of us Demon Race. There's no woman that you cannot marry.” Yinzhen said: ”Moreover, to marry early and have an heir was also your duty as a king!”

Temujin was currently eight years old. Although he was considered a minor according to human standard, he already had the ability to father children. The Demons had very diversified traits. There were plenty gifted ones among them. There was a former Great Demon King who had had dozens of children at the age 10. Therefore, as long as Temujin had this intention, he could always wed a royal concubine and breed the next generation.

In fact, since Temujin's coronation, the lords and officials of the Demon race were trying their best to send their sisters and daughters into his harem in order to please their king. The pet.i.tions for requesting him to wed early never ended. It was left behind only because Temujin never approved.

Hearing the word ”heir”, Temujin put up a straight face, speaking sincerely: ”I don't need no heir. This position should have been fourth brother's in the first place. Should anything happen to me, the next Great Demon King is no other than fourth brother. There's no need for an heir.”

Hearing brother's voice of heart, Yinzhen didn't know what to say for the moment. He was very serious with power from the beginning. The only reason he was content to a.s.sist rather than to rule was because the successor was Temujin. If it was someone else, he would have already start the killing and overtaking the moment the will was announced.

”That I'll have to thank you! But, even though you are not gonna marry a royal concubine, you can always consider the women in the palace. To give birth to...”

”No.” Temujin firmly shook his head. He knew exactly what his elder brother was implying. And that's the precise reason why he felt harder to bear.

For a royal family member of Demons, having a child had a deeper use than having an heir.

Among the vast number of demonic arts, there were quite a few sorceries deeply related to blood relation and posterity. Especially because of the same bloodline, the differences between bodies could be easily overcome. If one had incurable disease, one could always continue his life by terminating the life of one's offspring.

Generations of Great Demon Kings would choose a pure and immaculate infant from their offsprings and seal them in secret. They served as a secondary body. In case one were badly ill or injured, one could conveniently reincarnate through that body.

However, out of some psychological cleanliness, Temujin was utterly averse to such doings.

”Is that so? Then you shall have it as you like!” Unfolding his hands, Yinzhen smiled.

”Go carry out what you've chosen. Fourth brother will support you.”

”Thank you, fourth brother.”

”However, if your choice is wrong, you shall burn in h.e.l.l.”

”Fourth brother, There you go again.”

”Ha ha ha ha...”

Yinzhen threw back his head and roared with laughter. but took serious notice in his mind.

In the future, I should pay more attention to my brother. After all, it concerns the entire Demon Race! He'd better not forget his position. I hope that day won't come. Otherwise...
