Chapter 893 - Tell Him the Truth (1/2)
Back in the demon realm, Jin Ling narrowed his eyes and looked at Yin Lin Lin. ”That is to say about half of my followers are willing to betray me just for the promise of going to war with the dragons again?”
Yin Lin Lin nodded her head in agony. This absolutely wasn't what she had imagined when she married Jin Ling. She had wanted to be the queen of the demon realm, the person above everyone but her husband. How come her husband was now in danger of losing his position?
If he really did, what would become of them? With how ruthless the demons were, it could very well be that that Yong Hai would kill Jin Ling to make sure he couldn't become dangerous to him. And then she would have nowhere to go.
”Do you have any idea what to do? We have to stop this. Otherwise, the two of us will …” She furrowed her brows and looked at him worriedly.
Jin Ling rubbed his fingers against each other and gave a hum. ”That Yong Hai is ambitious but a weakling. The only thing he currently has going for him is his willingness to march to war. If I allowed them to do the same or gave them something else to do that would make them happy, I'm sure that most of them would still be willing to follow me. It's just a matter of how to use the situation to our advantage.”
Yin Lin Lin nodded even though she wasn't quite sure what she should think about this. Back in the Nine Heavens, even though she hadn't had a title and officially only been an idle goddess, she had never needed to think about anything like this. If she wanted something, she only had to yell at one of her servants and it would get done. The only thing she couldn't have was the man she wanted to marry and the position she had had her eyes on.
Now, she even had to fear for her life and that of her husband. She started to feel that … She hadn't done the right thing back when she followed him from the mortal realm over to the demon realm. That had been a folly.
If her father was still alive, he would certainly scold her. Unfortunately … That wasn't the case. Nobody had been here to warn her. The only person that might've warned her had also turned against her because of that matter with the crown prince. So in the end, she was left all alone. She could only rely on Jin Ling now.
The demon king continued to ponder. He really didn't think much of this. Back then, he had managed to snatch back the throne for himself by using the situation. He had waited for the best possible moment by pretending not to be a danger to the previous king. And then, he had made the most beneficial alliances and struck when nobody expected it.
This kind of deceit … His father had been a master at it. Obviously, he had inherited quite a bit of him. As much as he disliked to say that, this time it would come in handy.
”You don't have to worry. I do have an idea of what we can do. We only need to make sure about some small details. Then, it won't be difficult at all. I will need your help though. In fact, you might be the one playing the most vital part of this. Do you think you can do that for me?”
