Becoming the Demon Lord: Taming the Demon Queen Begins

Chapter 371 No idea, but it's gotta be something huge

"Wait, there's an ocean in the Netherworld? And... what's a bikini?" Azura's head was practically filled with question marks.

"An ocean? Of course, there's an ocean.

I had my doubts at first too, but yeah, the Netherworld definitely has an ocean."

Timothy usually didn't care much about most things, but the moment this topic came up, he was suddenly all in.

Since the big battle was over, Timothy felt pretty relaxed and started chatting away, explaining the environment of the Netherworld: "Not only is there an ocean in the Netherworld, but it's even more beautiful than the one on the Elant continent.

The surface of the water sparkles, shimmering with golden light.

And the water? It's super refreshing, really comfortable.

The goddess and I spent two days honeymooning at the Sacred Sea. The place was so nice, we spent a good while playing beach volleyball on the shore.

I gotta admit, the game was... intense, especially since the goddess was wearing a bikini at the time...

Too bad we didn't get to use the sunscreen and beach chairs. Next time, for sure.

Ahem, anyway, after the volleyball, the goddess and I went into the Sacred Sea and... fought for six hours straight, and then—"

"Whoa, wait, no, I was just talking about the Netherworld's environment! Forget the rest of that, I didn't say anything!"

Halfway through, Timothy suddenly stopped, realizing he might've said a bit too much.

Talking about the Sacred Sea was fine, but how did he end up spilling the details about his honeymoon with the goddess at the beach?

If it were anyone else, Timothy would never have let his guard down like this.

But just a moment ago, Holy Maiden Aeliana and Azura had been crying their eyes out, looking so pitiful.

And the memories of that beautiful honeymoon at the Sacred Sea were still so fresh in his mind.

So when Azura asked, Timothy let his guard down for a second and completely forgot the importance of keeping his mouth shut...

It wouldn't have mattered if he'd told anyone else, but not these two! They'd been stuck here, shivering in fear for half a month!

Unfortunately, it seemed like it was already too late.

"A honeymoon at the beach? And you played volleyball with the goddess?"

"I don't know what a bikini is, but from the sound of it, it must be something really... revealing that the goddess wore, right?"

For a moment, both Holy Maiden Aeliana and Azura's eyes seemed to go blank.

But it was precisely those blank stares directed at Timothy that sent a chill down his spine.

"Whoa, hold on! I swear, I really did go to the Netherworld to fight with the goddess! You're misunderstanding! What I said just now was a mistake!"

Sensing that things were going south, Timothy quickly waved his hands in defense.

"Fight? You mean the kind of 'fight' where you and the goddess spent six hours together in the ocean?"

Timothy: "..."

"This is too much! You left us here, trembling in fear, and you were off honeymooning with the goddess?

And you even fought in the ocean!

Waaah, Timothy, I'm gonna kill you!"

"Me too!"

Finally, Holy Maiden Aeliana and Azura couldn't hold it in anymore.

Tears welled up in their eyes as they locked onto Timothy and charged after him.

"Holy Maiden, calm down! It was just an accident! I didn't mean to make you jealous, I swear!"

"Azura, why are you joining in? We have a master-servant contract, remember?"

Normally, Timothy had no problem teasing Holy Maiden Aeliana and Azura to tears, but now, feeling guilty, he couldn't bring himself to fight back.

As the two figures closed in on him, Timothy had no choice but to kick through the ceiling and make a run for it.

Whoosh! Boom!

At that moment, Elder Turner, who was leading his disciples in cleaning the Sepulcher of the Sacred, suddenly heard a loud noise from the sky and quickly looked into the distance.

He saw three figures bursting through a building, one in front and two chasing behind.

The one in front was Timothy, and the ones chasing him... seemed to be Holy Maiden and Azura.

"Six hours... I-I never imagined humans could be stronger than dragons!

This is... terrifying!

Damn it, no matter what, I'm not letting you get away today!"

Azura's voice, filled with embarrassment and frustration, seemed to make the three figures chasing each other speed up even more.

[Ding! Host is currently being pursued. Would you like to purchase movement techniques to evade the chase?]

"Buy!"

As soon as Timothy gave the command, a series of movement techniques were instantly learned.

"Swift Wind Step."

"Sky Dance Technique."

"Blink."

...

...

"Damn it! How is he running so fast?!"

With each movement technique boosting his speed, Timothy finally heard the frustrated voices of his pursuers fading in the distance. He had successfully shaken them off.

"Phew, that was close."

Seeing that Holy Maiden Aeliana and Azura were no longer chasing him, Timothy let out a long sigh of relief.

Before he knew it, he had already returned to the Sky Sanctuary.

The clouds swirled around him, and the grand hall of the Sky Sanctuary, perched atop the towering mountain, radiated an aura of untouchable majesty.

Unlike when he first arrived at the Sky Sanctuary and had to climb the stairs step by step, Timothy now flew effortlessly on the wind, landing gracefully at the peak of the mountain.

"Senior Brother Timothy, you're back!"

"Senior Brother Timothy!"

The moment the disciples of the Sky Sanctuary saw Timothy, they rushed forward excitedly to greet him.

Timothy gave them a slight smile and glanced around.

It looked almost exactly the same as when he had left. As expected of the Sky Sanctuary, which was under the goddess's command.

Even though Sylvia had been inside the Sepulcher of the Sacred for over half a month, the Sky Sanctuary remained as disciplined and orderly as ever, running like clockwork.

Not only that, but aside from the disciples on their usual patrols, many others were busy inspecting the various formations and structures around the sanctuary. Some were placing decorative items and guide markers along the stairs leading to the mountain's peak.

Before leaving the Sepulcher of the Sacred, the goddess had announced that she would soon reveal what had transpired inside, as well as the second important matter she had promised to announce to the world.

It was clear that these disciples were preparing for the upcoming grand assembly.

As they moved about, many of them couldn't hide their excitement.

"I'm really looking forward to hearing what happened inside the Sepulcher of the Sacred, but what do you think the goddess's second announcement will be?"

"No idea, but it's gotta be something huge, something that'll shake the entire world!"

Even though they couldn't guess what it was, the disciples' eyes were filled with anticipation, eagerly speculating about what the goddess might reveal.

Timothy couldn't help but smile.

They were all busy guessing now, but once they learned the truth, their jaws would probably hit the floor.

After all, if his guess was right, the second major announcement from the goddess was likely to be...
