Demons Beside You

“King Samuel, it"s a pan used for frying.”

 “What"s frying?”

 “It"s basically a place where humans make food.”

 “What? I just picked a place where humans make food?” Samuel"s fur stood up again.

 “Calm down… Calm down… King Samuel…” Raymond quickly comforted.

 “Fine, follow me to check out the place.”

 Samuel chose another place. “How about here?”

 “King Samuel, this is where humans defecate.”

 “Here?”

 “It"s a fridge, a place where humans store food.”

 Suddenly, a carton landed before Samuel.

 As if it was his instinct, Samuel immediately jumped into the carton.

 “Huh? What happened?” Samuel looked at Chen Zhao. “Hu… Master, what spell did you cast on me? Why did I jump into the carton uncontrollably?”

 Chen Zhao rolled his eyes. Indeed, whenever a demon turned into an animal, it would automatically possess the relevant instincts.

 “It"ll be your home from now on.”

 “What? This tattered box? It"s a humiliation to my ident.i.ty.”

 “But it seems you like it a lot.”

 “I"m hungry.”

 Chen Zhao found a milk bottle. Faith had left it here and Chen Zhao had nothing better to give to Samuel at the moment.

 In the courtyard, Chen Zhao lay against Princess, looking at Samuel sucking the milk bottle which was half his size.

 “Samuel, have you never been to the human world before?”

 “No.”

 “By the way, I heard from the other demons that whenever you demons come here, you"ll contaminate the human world. Since you"re a demon king, you should be able to do the same, right?”

 “Didn"t I contaminate that region when I arrived? All the humans were contaminated with my wrath.”

 “And then?”

 “Then the principles came and suppressed my power.”

 “But why did you become so weak?”

 “I"m a weak projection, I agree.”

 “Beelzebub and the rest are also subordinates of the seven sins, but they"re not as weak as you are.”

 “The stronger a demon"s true form is, the more he will be suppressed. As an a.n.a.logy, if a normal soldier enters a hostile country, the country may send a soldier to arrest him. However, if it"s a general, the hostile country will send an army.”

 “Your power is to make people angry, right?”

 “I"m the great Samuel. Do not think I"m that simple.”

 Chen Zhao threw a small ball out and Samuel instantly leaped at it.

 “Human… You…”

 “Huh?”

 “Master, what spell did you cast on me? Why couldn"t I control myself?”

 “You said you"re not simple. What other abilities do you have?”

 “I"m the only demon king that can grant power to others. Even in the human world, my power is limitless.”

 “How? Show me.”

 Samuel began to stare at Chen Zhao, and Chen Zhao also waited patiently for Samuel"s power to act.

 However, after a long while, nothing happened.

 “Excuse me?”

 “My power can"t affect you,” Samuel sighed, discouraged. “You"re a strange human.”

 “Can you cast it on Princess?”

 “Of course.”

 Samuel looked at Princess who was behind Chen Zhao. Suddenly, Princess stood up and a fierce look appeared on her face.

 “Is it working?”

 “Yes. Every individual has a certain threshold, above which he or she will be devoured by fury.”

 “So there"s a side effect.” Chen Zhao patted Princess"s back. Only then did she calm down slowly.

 To be blunt, Samuel"s power was like a stimulant.

 His power could stimulate the target, increasing his or her power for a short duration.

 However, if he used too much power, the target would lose control emotionally.

 Wrath would consume all rationality.

 “Feels so useless.” Chen Zhao twitched his lips.

 “What? You said my power is useless?”

 “Yes, very useless indeed. Not as useful as Beelzebub"s or Raymond"s ability, or Carrie"s, or even the sloth power of Amon Beria.”

 “Tell me who your enemies are. I"ll go and kill all of them now. I want to prove that I"m more useful than all of them.”

 “I don"t have enemies, and I also don"t need you to kill anyone for me. I"m a doctor. Can you think of a way to apply your power to medicine?”

 “Fine. Maybe I can"t help you to save people, but I have many large demons under me. They can help you.”

 “Please. I can"t summon them, and even if I can, it"s their power, not yours.”

 “They"re my men. Their power is my power.”

 “How do I summon them?”

 “Why don"t you become my believer? Become a believer of the King of Wrath and you shall receive indefinite honor. I"ll grant you power like you"ve never seen before.”

 Chen Zhao finally received his first normal demon…

 What should a normal demon be like?

 He should aim to either rule the world or destroy the world.

 Samuel was unlike the other demon pets Chen Zhao had, who only knew how to obtain free food.

 “Why do you want believers?”

 “Isn"t it obvious? The more believers I have, the stronger I will be in the human world. If I have a sufficiently large pool of believers, the entire human world will be mine to rule. By then, you"ll be my spokesperson. How"s that?”

 “Did catnip destroy your brain already?”

 “What"s catnip?”

 Chen Zhao took out his phone. “Fali, when you come back, go to the supermarket and buy a pot of catnip.”

 “Do we have a cat?”

 “Picked up a little cat on the way.”

 Soon, Fali came back. When she saw Samuel, she could not help but display her maternal love. She grabbed Samuel and kept rubbing him.

 “Human, save me, quick! This woman is so scary… Help me!”

 Meow!

 “Chen, look, he likes me.”

 How did you tell that he likes you?? Chen Zhao criticized silently.

 Nevertheless, he was happy that Fali liked Samuel.

 “Fali, did you buy catnip?”

 “Yes, it"s in the car. Go and take it.”

 Indeed, Fali had bought two big pots of catnip.

 As Chen Zhao carried them to the courtyard, Samuel moved. He struggled away from Fali"s embrace and rushed to the catnip. Immediately, his face was filled with enjoyment.

 “It"ll be amazing if my true body can experience such superior enjoyment too!”

 Just as expected, even a demon king could not resist catnip.

 Chen Zhao thought that Samuel might have just become the first demon king addict.

 “If you really want, I"ll bring some for you the next time I visit h.e.l.l.”

 “You can go to h.e.l.l?”

 “I need someone I know to summon me from there.”

 “Oh, I get it. Take a token from you and then summon you with it. Should have thought of it earlier.”
