Becoming the Demon Lord: Taming the Demon Queen Begins

There was no noise, no distractions.

Inside the grand Blooming Hall, the only sounds were the soft, flowing notes of the harp and the graceful figure moving in time with the music.

No one could have imagined that such a seemingly simple harp could produce such intricate and ever-changing melodies.

Nor could anyone have imagined that the slender, elegant figure could dance with such breathtaking beauty.

Her light blue gown swirled around her like a delicate, shimmering flower, or perhaps a butterfly fluttering in the breeze.

The music was enchanting, and the dancer was mesmerizing.

With each step, her figure moved with a grace that seemed effortless.

Sylvia danced as if it were the most natural thing in the world, yet it felt as though all the beauty in existence had gathered in this one moment.

Everything seemed to focus on her, as if even the heavens themselves were watching, captivated by her flawless form.

Her gown floated around her as she danced.

"Goddess Sylvia... dancing to music?"

At that moment, every member of the Sea Serpent clan stood frozen in place.

Even though they weren't human, they knew exactly how revered Goddess Sylvia was among the human race.

Goddess Sylvia, a being of Holy Emperor-level power, was someone so exalted that she was beyond their reach, worshipped by countless people and practitioners alike.

Yet here she was, dancing gracefully beside Timothy, her movements as light and beautiful as a butterfly in flight. Her dance was so stunning that even the Sea Serpent girls, who had trained in dance for years, felt utterly overshadowed.

They couldn't comprehend how such a perfect dance could exist in this world.

Nor could they understand how the Creator could be so biased as to craft such a flawless being.

Every movement Sylvia made, every graceful turn, was like a painting unfolding in the air.

And it was nothing like the dances they were familiar with.

Though her dance was breathtakingly beautiful, there was nothing seductive or vulgar about it.

It was a beauty that drew you in, yet carried an air of untouchable dignity.

There was a cold, distant aura to her movements, one that inspired awe and respect, making it impossible for anyone to entertain any improper thoughts.

It was as if just witnessing her dance was enough to fulfill a lifetime's worth of happiness.

The music continued, and her dance remained as captivating as ever.

The air itself seemed to grow colder, like a winter chill settling in.

Snowflakes, perfectly shaped like six-pointed stars, began to drift down from above!

Without using any magic, Sylvia's dance had somehow summoned a phenomenon from the heavens.

Even the skies over the Elant Continent seemed to respond to the goddess's dance.

Beyond the awe that filled their hearts, the Sea Serpent girls could feel a cosmic energy swirling through the Blooming Hall.

Even sensing just a fraction of it was enough to benefit them greatly.

This was the goddess, the one worshipped and revered by the human race—Goddess Sylvia!

At that moment, they could only stare in stunned silence at her graceful figure, their emotions surging like waves.

The goddess's dance had left an indelible mark on their hearts.

No wonder so many across the world admired Goddess Sylvia, yet she had remained single for over six hundred years.

It was clear now—there was simply no one in this world who could match her.

Even as women, they found themselves momentarily entranced.

But just then, the music stopped, and the dance came to an end.

Her light blue gown, like a drifting cloud, slowly settled as Sylvia returned to her seat beside Timothy, her aura once again cool and aloof.

However, as Timothy set down the harp and their eyes met, the air between them seemed to freeze.

And then—

A soft giggle broke the silence.

Sylvia's cold, distant demeanor vanished in an instant as she covered her mouth and laughed.

Her smile was stunning, leaving Sylphina and the other Sea Serpent girls completely dumbfounded.

In their minds, the goddess was always so proud and indifferent, never showing such warmth to anyone.

At that moment, Sylvia was still gazing at Timothy, her eyes carrying a hint of playful annoyance. "Hmph, you said you were taking me to watch a performance, but it's obvious you just wanted to see me dance."

"Well, what can I say? No one in the world can dance better than my wife," Timothy replied with a grin.

"Flatterer!"

"I only flatter you, my dear~"

"You!"

"Wife, there are a lot of people watching. I suggest you stop talking, or else... I might do more than just talk."

Timothy's tone carried a subtle hint of mischief.

"What are you going to do?"

"Kiss you."

"You!"

The proud and untouchable Goddess Sylvia, revered by all, had once again lost in this playful banter with Timothy.

But the real issue was...

"This isn't even banter! This is full-on flirting!"

Everyone from the Sea Serpent clan who witnessed this scene was utterly dumbfounded, some even on the verge of tears.

They had thought that the goddess and Timothy had come to watch the performance.

But in reality, these two were clearly here to flaunt their relationship!

Not only had they lost the chance to repay Timothy for his help, but the sweetness between the two was overwhelming.

"Sylphina, this is too much! These two are just too much!"

"Ugh, I never imagined that the Goddess Sylvia, whom I've worshipped for so long, would come to the Blooming Hall just to show off her love life. I'm going to die from all this sweetness!"

It wasn't just that they were showing off their affection—it was the fact that the main character in this love story was none other than Goddess Sylvia herself.

This was such an earth-shattering event that even if they were given ten times the courage, no one would dare to speak of it.

Knowing such a massive secret but being unable to share it, while also being subjected to this level of public affection, was a kind of torture beyond words!

Among the Sea Serpent clan, there were many who had been single for over a century.

As they exchanged glances, their eyes were filled with unshed tears, and they could practically feel their teeth aching from the sweetness.

This day would forever be remembered as the darkest day in the history of the Sea Serpent clan!

[Ding!

Congratulations, Host! You have successfully broken the defenses of the Sea Serpent clan.

System reward: Small World +1.]

"Small world?"

According to ancient legends, powerful beings at the Tribulation Saint level could tear through space and create their own small worlds.

Since the ancient times, no one had reached the Ascension Phase.

While there were still small worlds on the Elant Continent, either through formations or rare artifacts, they were incredibly scarce.

As for the small world Timothy had just been rewarded...

He looked out and saw that the entire world was only about one-tenth the size of the Elant Continent.

Aside from the vast, snowy landscape, it was completely empty.

However, the sight of the endless falling snowflakes was breathtakingly beautiful.

Though this small world seemed to have no immediate use, in Timothy's hands, it held a unique potential.

"Wife, how about I take you somewhere special?" Timothy whispered softly into Sylvia's ear.

"Where?"

"It's a secret."

With a flash of light, the two of them disappeared from the Blooming Hall in an instant.
