400: Chapter 400 Little Devil
"Wonderful!"
"Husband, this move of yours simply forces those families into a dead end!"
Hua Yuetong and Hua Xingtong also revealed expressions of anticipation.
In this way, the Black Ghost Market won't be able to gain a foothold at all!
Chen Yi nodded: "That's the plan! However, before we begin, we still need some preparations---"
"Knock, knock---"
As soon as the words fell, the room door was gently knocked.
"Come in."
Chen Yi said.
The door opened, and a petite figure walked in.
She was a girl who looked only fourteen or fifteen years old, about 1.5 meters tall, wearing an exquisite black gothic dress with blood-red lace trimming the hem.
Her skin was so fair it was almost transparent, forming a sharp contrast with the dark clothing.
She had waist-length purple hair with naturally curled ends, and on top of her head grew a pair of curved little black horns, their tips shimmering with a dark red light.
Her eyes were a deep, dark purple, with cat-like slit pupils, and there were natural, eyeshadow-like dark markings at the corners of her eyes.
Behind her, a pair of small bat wings were folded, and a slender black tail extended from under her skirt, with a heart-shaped arrow at the end, currently swaying gently and unconsciously.
In her hands, she held a thick black book with skull decorations embedded on the cover, looking both dangerous and cute.
This was the assistant arranged by Hua Liuli for Chen Yi—the Tenth Rank Demon Emperor Yuri Demon Empress Ai Ke, nicknamed Koko, a soft and cute devil loli.
Chen Yi glanced at Yuri Demon Empress Ai Ke, and the system's information interface immediately appeared before his eyes.

"What a cute little Demon Emperor sister!"
Chen Yi thought to himself, "I wonder which girl reincarnated as her---"
After Yuri Demon Empress Ai Ke walked into the room, she first coldly scanned the women present, then locked her gaze onto Chen Yi.
Her expression was cold, and her eyes held undisguised disdain.
"The Queen asked me to assist you!"
"She said if you have any requests, just come to me, and I will handle them!"
"I am the authority she gave you, but if you dare to do anything offensive to me, I will destroy you!"
However, just after saying these words, she noticed Chen Yi's gaze examining her, and her brows furrowed slightly as her tail tapped the floor impatiently.
"Lord Chen Yi, you already have many women, please have some self-respect!"
Hearing this, Chen Yi finally realized and hurriedly waved his hand to apologize: "Sorry, I was just observing your strength characteristics, I didn't mean anything else."
Yuri Demon Empress Ai Ke snorted, clearly not quite believing him, but she didn't continue to dwell on it.
"Tell me, what do you need me to do? The Queen said that my status is now equivalent to Chen Nian's, and I can mobilize some of the resources of the Black Ghost Market, as well as some of the outer forces of the headquarters!"
Chen Yi nodded and carefully inquired about the specific scope of Yuri Demon Empress Ai Ke's authority.
After some exchange, he was even more confident in his plan!
"Very good!"
Chen Yi revealed a satisfied smile, "Then next, please help me with one thing!"
"What thing?"
Yuri Demon Empress Ai Ke looked at him vigilantly, clutching the book in her hands even tighter.
Chen Yi's smile became even brighter: "Be my girlfriend and accompany me to the Black Ghost Market!"
"What?"
Yuri Demon Empress Ai Ke was stunned for a moment, her purple slit pupils widened, almost doubting if she had misheard.
This guy Chen Yi, asking her, a Demon Emperor, to be his girlfriend?
What is he trying to do?
Is he crazy?
"What do you mean?"
Yuri Demon Empress Ai Ke's tail stood up high, "I already said, please have some self-respect! Don't think that just because you have the Queen's order, you can do whatever you want!"
"What are you thinking?"
Chen Yi rolled his eyes speechlessly, "What do you think I want with you? Just do it, don't talk so much nonsense, go back and dress up nicely first!"
"Tch---"
Yuri Demon Empress Ai Ke clicked her tongue, glared fiercely at Chen Yi, but ultimately turned and left the room.
"I'll come back to find you later!"
She left this sentence behind and slammed the door shut.
Inside the room, the women looked at each other, then turned to look at Chen Yi, their eyes full of confusion.
"Brother Chen Yi, what are you doing?"
Su Taotao asked first, "Why let that devil loli pretend to be your girlfriend?"
Chen Yi smiled mysteriously: "This is part of the plan! Don't worry, I have no interest in her!"
Hearing this, the women were relieved.
They thought he was going to contract another Demon Emperor!
Although contracting a Demon Emperor didn't seem to be a burden for Chen Yi.
But it still felt a bit strange---
---
Meanwhile, after Yuri Demon Empress Ai Ke returned to her room, she didn't immediately start dressing up.
Instead, she angrily threw the black book onto the bed.
"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!"
"That damn Chen Yi! To actually dare to let me pretend to be his girlfriend!"
"It makes me so angry!"
She walked to the mirror, looking at her face that was slightly flushed with anger in the mirror, and became even angrier.
Honestly, she actually really, really disliked this man, Chen Yi.
She was even somewhat disgusted!
Yuri Demon Empress Ai Ke sat on the edge of the bed, hugging her knees, her tail drooping listlessly on the ground.
Her eyes became complex, filled with disgust, unwillingness, and also---a trace of imperceptible jealousy?
Yes, jealousy! Deep-seated jealousy!
She was a lily, and the only person she liked was the Queen, Hua Liuli!
From the day she was created, her eyes had only ever held that noble and beautiful figure!
For decades, she had been silently guarding Hua Liuli, executing the most dangerous missions, and handling the most troublesome problems.
All just to be able to see the Queen more, hear a word of praise from the Queen, and be able to receive the reward of the Queen's head pats---
And it was precisely because of this that when Hua Liuli proposed for her to stay by Chen Yi's side, even though she was reluctant, she still agreed.
Because she knew the Queen was worried about another situation like Black Rose, who fell in love with Chen Yi for no reason.
And she could not possibly fall in love with a man!
The Queen needed a pair of eyes, an insurance policy, and she, Yuri Demon Empress Ai Ke, was the most suitable candidate.
"But that Chen Yi, a mere human male---"
Yuri Demon Empress Ai Ke bit her lip, her eyes full of resentment, "Causing the Queen to be busy day and night, just to capture him! And these past few days, when the Queen dreams at night, she calls out Chen Yi's name---"
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became, and her tail began to tap the floor irritably.
