Reborn as a Hatrack in the Mystical Land-Chapter 984 - 102: Second Demon Consort

Unable to find that Netherworld King Fish among the Netherworld Queen Fish, Yue Jinghua had no assurance and had to seek alternative strategies at the Linglong Sea Pavilion.

She discussed with Qian Luo, Jue Xin, and Tali, planning to strike when the Second Demon Consort came to select in person.

The following day, the Second Demon Consort arrived with a few beautiful maids.

She selected several men and women from the Sea Demon Clan from over a dozen cages, but the number was far from her expected requirement.

"Useless, what kind of work is this? I want over a hundred people, look at what kind of riffraff they brought back," the Second Demon Consort said, having chosen but still not having enough people.

She entered the last room.

This room happened to be where Yue Jinghua and her companions were.

The Second Demon Consort swept her gaze around, her beautiful face slightly softening.

This room held Sea Demon Clan members far more attractive than the previous ones, some could even be considered top-grade beauties.

"You and you three, come over here," the Second Demon Consort called Yue Jinghua along with Qian Luo and Jue Xin.

She could tell that these people were not from the Sea Demon Clan; they seemed like mixed breeds of the Demon Clan and other foreign races.

The purity of their bloodline was not an issue anyway, since they weren’t for the Demon Royal Family.

To those wealthy guests from other planes, choosing mixed breeds was even more novel.

The Second Demon Consort looked at Yue Jinghua, and even with her accustomed to seeing beauties of various Demon Clans, she couldn’t help being amazed by this mixed-blood human girl’s appearance.

Since Yue Jinghua intended to attract the Second Demon Consort’s attention, having achieved her goal, she naturally had to put on a good show.

Yue Jinghua cowered, showing a pitiful appearance with a face full of fear.

The Second Demon Consort chose over ten more people, altogether taking them out of the room.

Yue Jinghua discreetly noted that the Second Demon Consort had selected more than thirty people. After selecting people, she headed to the outer area of Linglong Sea Pavilion.

Just as Yue Jinghua and the others were preparing to make their move,

two captives from the Sea Demon Clan broke free from their Dark Array Shackles, wielding hidden weapons, aimed directly at the Second Demon Consort’s chest.

The beautiful maid beside the Second Demon Consort screamed, but the Second Demon Consort disdainfully uttered a word: "Courting death."

There was a sudden flash of light at the Second Demon Consort’s collar, and Yue Jinghua vaguely saw something fish-shaped.

Yue Jinghua suddenly thought, could it be that the King Fish controlling those Netherworld Queen Fish was hidden on the Second Demon Consort’s body?

Yue Jinghua had only guessed half of it right.

In fact, what was hidden on the Second Demon Consort’s person was not the King Fish, but an Ancient King Fish Skeleton.

The forebear of the Second Demon Consort had made this King Fish Skeleton into jewelry; she wore it on her body while falsely claiming to control the Netherworld Queen Fish, thereby gaining support in the Dark Demon Tribe.

As the two Sea Demon Clan assassins charged forward, the Second Demon Consort moved like she was dancing, her sleeves swaying.

In an instant, thousands and thousands of Netherworld Queen Fish surged into the previously empty Linglong Sea Pavilion like a gale.

Yue Jinghua had seen these fish in the transparent room over the past few days, but had never seen them act ferociously before.

Their bodies were a gold-black color, shimmering beautifully as they swam in the water. Yet upon encountering the assassins, the patterns on their bodies transformed, the gold-black lines becoming a skull shape.

The thousands of fish looked like countless skulls dancing, making one shiver.

Their previously finger-sized mouths grew barbed sharp teeth.

They swarmed en masse, making it impossible for anyone to fend them off.

These fish were small and strangely fast, their movements well-controlled, and the two assassins did not expect to encounter such a predicament. They frantically swung their weapons, trying to fend off the Netherworld Queen Fish, but it was all in vain.

The sharp teeth of the fish tore open their skin, devouring their flesh and blood, with screams echoing incessantly, and in an instant, the people vanished.

Except for the strong nauseating smell of blood, no one could have imagined that there had just been an assassination here.

The fish school dispersed contentedly, their bellies bloated, returning to their original decorative fish appearance.

"Fools," the Second Demon Consort cruelly smiled, "with these little darlings here, this Linglong Sea Pavilion is the safest place on earth, even the gods in the heavens can do nothing to me."

This was why the Second Demon Consort, during the power struggle with other demon consorts, preferred to forsake a comfortable life at the Emperor Demon Palace to reside in the Linglong Sea Pavilion.

"Oh, that may not necessarily be true," just as the Second Demon Consort was feeling triumphant, unexpectedly, someone attacked from the side.

The speed was several times faster than the earlier assassins.

The Second Demon Consort did not expect, within the crowd, there was still an assassin.

The person slashed at her neck, but the Second Demon Consort reacted equally swiftly, dodging the attack by swiftly stepping aside.

As she evaded, two figures attacked from the left and right.

"Where has everyone gone, there are assassins, why aren’t you stopping them for me," the Second Demon Consort scolded angrily.

At this time, she felt a chill on her neck, hearing a crisp cracking sound from the Fish King Necklace on her neck, upon looking down, she saw an additional crack on the necklace.

It turned out that the woman’s target was not the Second Demon Consort herself, but the necklace on her neck.

Focusing her gaze, it was that beautiful human woman, leading the three who had attacked her.

A moment ago, this human woman had taken action to damage her necklace.

"Wretched maid, how dare you damage my King Fish," the Second Demon Consort was furious, poised to summon the Netherworld Queen Fish when she found the number she could command had greatly reduced. Normally able to control the Netherworld Queen Fish within ten miles, now she could only control a small nearby group, surely because her Fish King Necklace was damaged.

"Who exactly are you, why do you know the secret of my Dark Demon Clan?" There were very few who knew the secret of the King Fish Necklace in the world. This mixed-blood human girl had immediately targeted her necklace, clearly coming prepared.

Having succeeded, the woman laughed brightly and said crisply, "Second Demon Consort, it really is quite a coincidence, your son, the Second Prince of Dark Demon, fell into my hands last time as well, who’d have thought, his mother consort would also fall into my hands."

Speaking, Yue Jinghua raised her hand, and a starry dazzling Six-star Radiance Array rapidly enveloped the group of recently arriving Netherworld Queen Fish.

Under the effect of the Six-star Demon Summoning Array, the group of Netherworld Queen Fish immediately became disoriented, attacking the Second Demon Consort’s maids indiscriminately.

"How can this be, no, no," the Second Demon Consort screamed, never imagining that she would one day die by the mouths of the little darlings she had always been so proud of.

"Don’t worry, I won’t kill you. Keeping you alive is far more useful than killing you," Yue Jinghua summoned back the school of Netherworld Queen Fish, revealing a satisfied smile.
