Today, I am not the Demon King, but the servant of Her Majesty the Queen. Your bows are not for me."
Qinuo shook his head, a gentle smile on his face, and stepped back half a pace.
He bowed slightly, indicating to everyone that Venom was in charge at the moment.
The bowing demons and the crowd looked at each other, their eyes filled with doubt and confusion.
Isn't this the Queen?
Just then, a quick-witted fellow was the first to shout, "Greetings, Your Majesty the Queen!"
This shout was like lighting a fuse, and the others also reacted, cheering in unison.
"Greetings, Your Majesty the Queen!"
The sound waves in front of them rose higher and higher, deafening.
"Rise! Carry on with your duties."
Venom, imitating the way Qinuo remembered, waved her hand, trying to appear majestic and solemn.
"Thank you, Your Majesty the Queen!"
The demons and the crowd in front of them dispersed, each busy with their own tasks.
"Qinuo, this is so much fun."
Venom's eyes sparkled.
She had never experienced the feeling of thousands obeying her every word, and her heart was full of novelty, even her steps became lighter.
"Your Majesty, as long as you wish, you are the King here."
Qinuo looked at Venom with sincerity, the tattoo on his wrist subtly brightened, transforming into a bracelet.
Venom understood that Qinuo was serious.
He originally didn't want to deal with these troublesome matters; he just wanted a warm home with his wife and children, some money, and the ability to protect himself.
Charles and the others, however, panicked. They were just about to acknowledge a new King, but the new King wanted to abdicate.
"No, it's too much trouble. You just want to pass the buck."
Venom turned her head away; she knew Qinuo too well. Beneath that seemingly carefree exterior, he was actually very tired.
In this dangerous World, bearing so many lives, he couldn't make a single mistake.
Venom's eyes held a hint of playful blame, yet they were full of heartache.
"That's truly a pity, I almost got to live a life of leisure without worries."
Qinuo said jokingly, a relaxed smile on his face.
Charles breathed a sigh of relief; it turned out he was just kidding. His tense nerves immediately relaxed, and a relaxed expression reappeared on his face.
Jean, however, could feel Qinuo's exhaustion.
He was already very tired, and she had added a new heavy burden to him. Her heart ached, and she wanted to step forward to comfort him.
Venom had already embraced him, burying Qinuo's head in her chest.
"I've had enough fun, the servant game is over. You can still call me Venom!"
Jean withdrew her foot, her expression crestfallen, the light in her eyes dimmed a few shades. She stood silently to the side, her heart full of helplessness and bitterness.
Charles and the others also tacitly turned around, admiring the city's scenery. Ororo, however, noticed Jean's unusual state.
She gently walked to Jean's side, placed her hand on Jean's shoulder, and asked softly, "What's wrong, Jean?"
Jean pursed her lips, lowered her head slightly, and said in a low voice, "Nothing, I just feel like I'm always a step behind."
Ororo sighed softly and comforted her, "Don't think that way, there will be other opportunities."
Jean nodded slightly, but the disappointment in her eyes was still hard to dispel.
Qinuo hugged the slender waist, rubbing hard in Venom's embrace, breathing in Venom's scent, like a child seeking comfort.
"Energy replenished. Indeed, without Venom, I'm not motivated to do anything."
Venom released Qinuo and tidied the clothes on her chest. "The way you say that, am I your pick-me-up?"
"No, you are my life. As long as you are by my side, I am invincible."
Qinuo smiled, his gaze at Venom gentle and focused, as if he wanted to engrave her image deep in his heart.
Thump.
Even though it was just a heart that had been transformed, Venom couldn't control it from skipping a beat. A blush spread across her cheeks, and she said teasingly,
"You only know how to say such sweet words."
Jean watched Qinuo and Venom's interaction, her gaze unable to move away for a long time.
If she had initially only gotten close to Qinuo for the survival of the Mutants.
But as she understood Qinuo's power, his kindness in selling low-priced medicine to help others, and his unreserved doting on Venom, his lover, the emotions in her heart quietly changed.
She was somewhat envious, wanting his eyes to also gaze at her with such deep affection, wanting his tenderness and care to linger for her as well.
She unconsciously clenched her hands, biting her lip slightly, her inner conflict and anticipation intertwined.
Another voice echoed in her heart.
You can do it, snatch Qinuo away...
No...
You can do it, you have the power...
No... you can't...
You can do it, as long as you accept your true self...
No...
The voice in her heart became clear, and Jean's eyes gradually became tinged with a touch of black. The black spread like ink, devouring the original clarity in her eyes.
A shout came from the sky,
"Darling~"
Jean looked up and saw a red-haired woman, just like her, flying down from the sky, like a light butterfly, flutter throwing herself into Qinuo's arms.
"Pame... Mmph!"
Qinuo caught the delicate body, and before he could finish speaking, the woman's red lips sealed his mouth.
The black in Jean's eyes instantly vanished. She widened her eyes, looked at the woman in Qinuo's arms, then looked at the motionless Venom beside her, her face filled with disbelief and bewilderment.
What exactly was happening? Her mind was in chaos, her thoughts seemed to have stopped at this moment, completely unable to comprehend this sudden scene before her eyes.
Another figure slowly descended from the sky.
Venom saw that the two had been kissing for several minutes without separating, and she patted Pamela.
"That's enough, are you two practicing holding your breath?" Venom's tone held a hint of teasing.
"Mmm-hmm!"
Pamela released Qinuo, a transparent thread connecting their lips. Pamela stuck out her red tongue and licked her lips, breaking the thread.
This seductive action made Jean's face flush. She shyly turned her head away, her heart involuntarily quickening, and her hand unconsciously touched her burning cheeks. This was in public; it was too embarrassing.
Pamela had the exact same hair color as her, and looking at her, it was easy to project herself onto her.
"Venom Sister, I just missed my darling so much."
"You just saw each other yesterday, you're just horny."
"Venom Sister~"
Qinuo looked at Xi, who had been quietly standing to the side, and opened his arms.
"Xi, let me hug you." Qinuo's voice was gentle and full of expectation.
"Yes, Young Master!"
Xi quickly stepped forward and threw herself into Qinuo's embrace, a happy and contented expression on her face.
Jean's pupils dilated in shock; it was the third one.
Qinuo looked at them with the same eyes he looked at Venom—eyes full of love and tenderness, as if they could melt a person.
Moreover, all three women wore identical gem rings on their hands, sparkling dazzlingly in the sunlight.
