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

[The Spirit Realm Within the Inner Spirit]

This sentence sounds awkward and strange, making it hard to understand... but that's how it is...

To put it this way, it might give the impression of a marketing slogan... What's the deal with "the Spirit Realm within the inner spirit"? Let's break it down together.

The Spirit Realm within the spiritual body actually means that the Spirit Realm is hidden within the spiritual body's inner self. You might be quite surprised, but that's how it is...

Whatever.

...

To put it a bit more seriously... for a spiritual body like Youyou, it's very simple to enter the Spirit Realm. But for a living person like Yila to go, they need a certificate and coordinates.

It sounds mysterious, but really it's just... having Youyou and Yila stand in the center of the array simultaneously, then quietly waiting for the teleportation to occur. This is one of the charms of the array.

You don't need to carefully study each demon mark within the array to understand its specific role, whether it's for saving Mana or the primary function of the array... you don't need to understand these things. But if you just copy the array as is, you can still use it.

"Ooh! Time to go, time to go!"

Satan Ye shouted happily. Recently, she had been progressing very quickly in combat... under Yila's guidance and with her powerful bloodline, she was already half a step into becoming a Legend.

Although, at some point, it seemed being a Legend wasn't such a big deal anymore.

Of course, Yila only taught her combat skills. As for the basics of statecraft... he taught those to Hilena. Both of them were a bit exasperated by this situation but had no expectations of Satan Ye's administrative abilities.

Fortunately, what most monsters needed was a "Rah rah rah, follow me, everyone!" type of Demon King.

Youyou, standing dumbly in the center of the array, nodded to Hilena's instructions to "Take good care of Princess Satan Ye." Her own work was still unfinished... and she was being dragged around like this.

When Yila had brought her into the world of the Evil God's Followers, Youyou was compiling population and income data from the Demon King Territory. After returning, she was busy with post-relocation material consumption statistics and helping Senata with planning new offering routes and information for other territories.

The recent work had indeed been very busy...

"Senata, I'll leave the task of notifying others to search for the Evil God Relics to you."

Yila instructed and looked at the also-departing Xiao Gang and said, "Regarding the issues with the cement roads, my previous arrangements were somewhat amiss. I forgot to tell you to prioritize areas far from the sea to avoid cement being affected by sea-related calamities."

"For Talan and other Beastmen who have temporarily joined the logistics work, Wolf, you should first teach them some basics and assist them with the work. Craftsmen will primarily still be you and the Werewolves."

"Also, while the array is activating, let me talk about the tasks assigned to Xiao Hei, Lodya, and Rainbow Shell... although there aren't many big changes... I remember I said that..."

"..."

"Transmission activation! Passengers, stay quiet, or I'll give you a big slap!"

Vera shouted, interrupting Yila. She looked at everyone who gave her grateful looks and quickly injected magic power, avoiding Yila's incessant chatter that was beginning to wear on everyone.

"Hahaha~"

Satan Ye laughed happily... clearly because of Vera's threat to "give you a big slap." Normally, this would earn her a beating from Yila, but now he was in the transmission array.

To be honest, in such situations where they might be transmitted away at any moment, he didn't dare move too much... just like when picking his ears, it wasn't wise to move suddenly.

Although half his body was outside the array, meaning he wouldn't be cut in half, there's a significant chance the target location of the teleportation might be off... the three of them could end up scattered, making it difficult to regroup.

"Yay, going on an adventure with Mr. Yila~"

Satan Ye said excitedly. It had been a while since she had gone running around with Yila... for her, adventuring with Yila was genuinely enjoyable, at least more fun than being a proper king.

(Favignano: Hey, hey, hey, that's my daughter for you, great minds think alike!)

The reason Yila brought Satan Ye along was because of her race and identity… While Yila's purpose in going to the Spirit Realm was indeed to look for an unclaimed body, he also intended to search for the Soul Dragon that Ernie mentioned, to ask about the location of the Dragon Realm.

Since Satan Ye was a Dragon Clan member, a dragon, bringing her along might make the conversation easier...

Although using force to obtain information was also an option, Yila didn't have that in mind unless absolutely necessary. He wasn't the type who enjoyed abusing power.

At least, Yila didn't view himself that way... but this world placed too much emphasis on power, and power itself was extremely useful, which had nothing to do with his character.

"But Mr. Yila, aren't you going to continue assigning tasks?"

All the leaders' faces turned grim at Satan Ye's words... although he wasn't bothersome, it wasn't exactly "tedious" either, but listening to Yila required great effort to think.

It was just too exhausting...

"No need, let's deal with it when we get back... it's nothing particularly urgent."

Yila said, understanding that in a scenario where they could be teleported at any moment, it wasn't feasible to discuss crucial matters. Everyone knew this, hence why Vera cut off so abruptly.

Had it been urgent, he would have made immediate visits to each leader's room to start assigning work... that was the level of trust everyone had in Yila.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Yila, Satan Ye, and Youyou vanished into the teleportation door... just before leaving, Yila shot a look at Vera, leaving her to figure it out herself.

"..."

"Gulp~"

The sound of Vera swallowing her saliva was clearly audible.

"Miss Witch Demon..."

The Elf girl, who had been rescued by Yila, Satan Ye, Wolf, and others on their way back to the Demon King Territory from the Beastman Country, and had always served as the Ranger Tutor to Beastman girls, said, reminding Vera kindly—

"Lord Yila's gaze seemed to say, 'Give me a big slap, huh? Just wait till I return, and I'll show you what a real big slap feels like.'"

The Elf girl said so.

Vera: "Stop it, I'm about to break out in a cold sweat! Are you sure you aren't being too specific?!"
