After Being Sold Out By The Empire, I Decide To Assist The Demon King

"Meow meow meow meow~"

"..."

Yila looked at the meowing Snake Shedding, opened the room's light with a face full of bewilderment… Gazing around the familiar room setup, he plopped down onto the familiar sofa, kicking the terminal placed on the coffee table.

"Meow meow meow?"

Amid the meowing of Snake Shedding, Yila rubbed his nose, saying, "So, I really can't understand cat language. Snake Shedding, can't you talk normally? Though I can roughly guess you're asking me something."

But probably… It's not asking "Is it mealtime already?", right?

*Yila thought to himself, looking at the ragdoll cat sitting on his lap, gradually getting bigger, transforming into Snake Shedding's own body straddling his lap… this position felt a bit too ambiguous.*

However, Snake Shedding seemingly had no intention of moving away.

"I was asking… meeting the family again after so long, wasn't as awkward as imagined?"

Snake Shedding asked, being smacked aside by Yila… just like she used to be shooed away when she disturbed Yila's work in cat form.

*After turning back into a cat once, their relationship had improved quite a bit.*

"Yeah, after all, it's family… Mom forced me to eat so much, I'm completely stuffed."

Yila said, rubbing his belly, he fiddled with the screen in front of him, tentatively asked: "D.D. (Final Race Judgment Organization), are you there?"

"..."

But there was no response.

"Phew…"

*Yila sighed in relief, knowing that the Destruction of the World AI couldn't exist within his soul, but still he sighed… He genuinely had a psychological shadow, fearing a cold female voice responding:*

"This is D.D., what's up?"

Snake Shedding simulated the voice, poorly imitating it… with an inexplicable accent.

"If it were her, she would've responded in a calmer tone with more standard pronunciation… and much faster."

Yila commented, comfortably lying on the sofa, completely relaxed for once, he asked Snake Shedding beside him, "When are we going back? Or should I just stay here… waiting for the reunion?"

*The so-called "reunion" was a very kind way of putting it.*

*Putting it brutally, or rather…it sounded much like a game term… the so-called "wait for everyone to die and gather here again".*

"It's up to you. I'm just your Golden Finger, not your wife. You don't need to ask my opinion."

Snake Shedding replied, shrugging, clearing her throat, "Ahem, just perfect, let's research where to go for our next world… this time, be sure to look carefully."

*In other words, this time, Snake Shedding hadn't looked carefully… She merely glanced at a world with various planes, gods, and monsters, very suitable for farming, and decided to develop here.*

Who knew this place was truly beyond saving?

"How do you plan to research?"

Yila asked, propping his chin, fingers poking on the screen, browsing recent Federal news… Hmm, how to put it?

*Each news headline was basically about Yila himself, and the situation on the Main Plane.*

*Interestingly, this was entirely reasonable, as that's what the federation was like, even though the "Permanent Mechanism" that led humans to self-destruction had been completely prohibited, resources were still overflowing.*

*In such an idle world, even with each performing their duties, it was good entertainment… not to mention fresh things, new news, interesting stories.*

"Just like this~"

Snake Shedding grabbed Yila's hand, stopping him from continuing browsing, single-handedly pressed on the screen, gradually turning the display pitch black… The terminal indeed had this feature, and Snake Shedding indeed had this capability.

Yet, it shouldn't be possible to use without fingerprint registration…

"..."

Wait!

Yila suddenly recalled, back when raising Snake Shedding… in cat form, he had once input information into her cat paws, considering "Cat" wasn't a real cat.

*AI cats could help him power on and access basic applications. Every time Yila lazily woke up to order delivery, he'd casually instructed the cat to help him power on.*

*Was this "karma"?*

"Look, these are the nearby worlds."

Unaware of Yila's thoughts, Snake Shedding enlarged the display with fingers, presenting an abstract world outline before Yila.

"This world consists of billions of parallel universes… In the setting of the world, only one parallel universe is the 'Main Perspective', known as the 'Main Universe', with plenty of handsome men, beautiful women, and many lolis."

"Hmm, but the world development level is quite high, Transcendent powers have yet to form a system, might be hard to replicate the Federation… Maybe not worth considering? Even with many lolis."

Snake Shedding said, leaving Yila bewildered, prompting him to ask, "Why do you consider lolis as an important reference? I don't have many loli friends, do I?"

Once he spoke, Snake Shedding immediately paused her actions, starting to list something.

"Satan Ye counts as one, right? Isabella used to be a loli, right? Let me think…" Snake Shedding said, revealing a thoughtful expression, her eyes darting around, but no matter how she thought… It seemed Yila's acquaintances were indeed more "young girls".

Therefore, amidst Yila's "Ha, can't name them, can you?" semi-smiling expression, Snake Shedding braced herself and continued, "Inheritance of Snake Shedding counts, right? That Tipcapu guy counts, right?"

"..."

Inheritance of Snake Shedding might count… but wasn't Tipcapu male? And wasn't he more like a teenager?

After Yila squinted at Snake Shedding, she had to give up teasing Yila on this aspect, shifting the topic, "Let's continue discussing the next world's topic."

"..."

"..."

"..."

*The discussion lingered for a long time, but they couldn't reach a conclusion… Then, a message from Tipcapu appeared in Yila's mind out of nowhere—*

"Tipcapu: Lord Yila, I informed everyone about you staying in the soul, nobody reacted much… Also, there's a major incident at Silver Moon Tree Court."

"Yila: What happened?"

"Tipcapu: The situation is complicated, elves should soon come to you, you can ask them for details. On our side, the only thing visible is…"

"Tipcapu: The World Tree stood up and started hitting people."

"..."

Yila: "Huh?"

Snake Shedding: Lol!
