Becoming the Demon Lord: Taming the Demon Queen Begins

"Living beings? How could living beings enter the Netherworld?"

Noticing two faint figures approaching from the horizon, a few female ghosts wandering near the Sacred Sea couldn't help but feel a twinge of fear.

But when they saw the two figures, who seemed to be playing hide-and-seek, or more like flirting, chasing each other playfully with laughter and teasing, their attention was irresistibly drawn in.

"Oh my god, this is way too sweet..."

"Ugh, I had a boyfriend when I was alive, but we were never this cute."

They watched as Sylvia, her face flushed like a peach blossom, tried to maintain her cool demeanor, but couldn't help laughing at Timothy's casual teasing. Then, embarrassed and flustered, she pretended to chase after him.

The scene made the ghosts feel a pang of jealousy, right down to their bones.

"Honey, I think we've arrived."

From the sky, Timothy's voice carried a hint of surprise as he looked out into the distance.

Below them, beyond a golden beach, stretched an endless ocean. The sea was pristine, untouched by any pollution, its waters a crystal-clear blue that gave off a refreshing, calming vibe just by looking at it. The waves shimmered with a faint golden glow, and the spiritual energy flowing through the air was almost intoxicating.

A cool sea breeze swept by, carrying with it a hint of the ocean's fresh scent. It was so soothing that it made you want to close your eyes and just soak in the atmosphere.

"It's beautiful."

Even Sylvia's eyes sparkled with a bit of wonder, clearly captivated by the breathtaking view in front of her.

The continent of Elant had very few seas, and one as stunning as this was practically unheard of.

"Come on, babe. Once we bathe in the Sacred Sea, we can head to the Underworld Dynasty." Discover more content at empire

Timothy walked ahead, a barely noticeable smile tugging at the corner of his lips.

Sylvia, focused on the Sacred Sea, didn't seem to catch that smile. She nodded slightly, a hint of excitement in her expression, and started walking toward the vast golden beach.

"Wait, you can't go through here!"

Before they could get any closer, a few female ghosts suddenly appeared, blocking their path.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Though these ghosts were just remnants of their former selves, they still retained the appearance of young, beautiful women. However, their expressions were filled with urgency as they stood in front of the couple. "You absolutely can't approach the Sacred Sea!

We don't know how living beings managed to enter the Netherworld and make it this far, but if you keep going, you'll be in serious danger.

Near the Sacred Sea, there are three lust demons whose minds have been corrupted and twisted. They've been guarding this place for a long time.

Whenever a male ghost gets close, they beat him up or even seriously injure him out of sheer disgust. But if a female ghost approaches, they'll do everything they can to make her bathe in the Sacred Sea while they watch.

Because of this, even though the Sacred Sea is full of powerful spiritual energy and benefits, no ghost has dared to come near it for who knows how long.

Those three lust demons are incredibly strong. No ghost has ever been able to defeat them.

As living beings, you might be in even greater danger if you go any further!"

The female ghosts' warnings were sincere, and their faces clearly showed concern.

"Don't worry. Three little lust demons? There are much bigger threats here than that... Ahem, I mean, three little lust demons aren't even worth worrying about."

Timothy cleared his throat, showing no sign of fear despite the ghosts' warnings. He exchanged a glance with Sylvia, and a wisp of spiritual energy swirled beneath their feet. The two of them leapt lightly into the air, riding the wind as they continued toward the Sacred Sea.

"Hey! Don't underestimate them just because they're called lust demons! If they catch you, the consequences will be way worse than you think!"

Seeing this, the female ghosts grew even more anxious, frantically trying to stop Timothy and Sylvia. But by now, the couple had already reached the beach and were just steps away from the Sacred Sea's edge.

It was too late to stop them.

The three ghosts exchanged worried glances, fear and shock creeping into their hearts. They hadn't expected these two humans to completely ignore their warnings.

As Timothy and Sylvia landed on the beach, the cool sea breeze brushed against their faces, carrying with it the fresh scent of the ocean.

Waves rolled in one after another, quickly wetting the golden sand beneath their feet.

The deep blue sea shimmered with a faint golden glow, radiant and exuding a sense of divinity.

The light that danced on the waves seemed to hold an almost pure, spiritual energy—so potent that it felt like it could cleanse the soul and purify the body.

Just one glance at the ocean was enough to make anyone feel its mystical allure.

No wonder the Netherworld revered this sea as sacred. Even on the vast continent of Elant, this ocean would be considered a priceless treasure.

"Wow, it's so beautiful," Sylvia said as she walked toward the shore, clearly captivated by the breathtaking view.

Her eyes sparkled with excitement, and in a rare moment of spontaneity, she slipped off her embroidered shoes. Her delicate, jade-like feet touched the sand, and her smooth, slender legs, pale as snow, looked even more stunning in the gentle sea breeze.

A wave rolled in, lightly splashing against her soft feet, leaving behind a trail of glistening droplets that sparkled in the sunlight.

The wind played with her long, dark hair, lifting it gently, while her light blue dress swayed with the breeze.

Sylvia's eyes seemed to shimmer with emotion, as if she were completely entranced by the beauty of the sacred sea.

Another wave came in, wetting the hem of her dress, causing it to cling slightly to her skin.

Her flawless, alabaster skin, smooth as jade, glistened with a few stray water droplets, making her look even more mesmerizing.

Timothy couldn't help but be drawn in by the sight, finding it hard to tear his gaze away.

Thoughts of beach volleyball, sunscreen, bikinis, and even the bonus beach umbrellas and chairs flashed through his mind. These rewards were trivial compared to even the weakest magical artifacts, but right now, to Timothy, they seemed far more valuable than any Heavenly-level treasure.

After all, just imagining the goddess in a bikini was enough to make his nose almost bleed!

"Hey, you perv! Who said you could invade our territory?"

"Whoa, look at her! She's gorgeous!"

Suddenly, voices echoed from a distance.

Timothy's face lit up with excitement. His reward was finally here!
