Chapter 187 - Continuation 12 : This matter is not urgent
Please do not repost elsewhere and do not re-translate to other language from my English version.
"Your Majesty Supreme King, this subordinate is Yan Ruya. During the time when you and His Majesty Huan Tian were not in the demon realm, I temporarily handled everything of the demon race on your behalf."
Yan Ruya brought Shui Ruoshan and Yin Suye to the Supreme King’s residence main hall before introducing herself.
"I know who you are."
Regardless of whether Yan Ruya would be surprised by his words, Shui Ruoshan didn’t hesitate to inform her that he knew her. Yan Ruya is the heroine of his novel [The Strongest King in History] after all! Don't just see that he has transmigrated twice and that his time in the parallel world was not short, but really, this is the first time he has officially met with Yan Ruya. Although Yan Ruya has not seen him before, he has already met her in his spirit form.
That time his soul was trapped in Huan Tian’s body, but because Huan Tian never tries to stop him from observing the situation outside, he(SRS) knows more or less about what happened outside. Hence, he has seen Yan Ruya, this excellent subordinate who has frequent contacts with Huan Tian.
"It is a great honour that Your Majesty knows of this subordinate!" Yan Ruya accepted this fact very frankly.
Even if she hadn't seen Shui Ruoshan before, his name was still fresh in her memory. However, this is not the time to say this. She still has a lot of things to ask the newly arrived Supreme King, and she cannot waste her time on irrelevant topics.
"Your Majesty, now that you have officially returned to the demon realm, can the government affairs be immediately handled by you?"
Although Yan Ruya is asking for instructions, the actual meaning of her words was to that His Majesty Shui Ruoshan, the demon Supreme King, can take office as soon as possible, and then handle the important affairs of the demon race.
"This matter is not urgent." Shui Ruoshan cut off Yan Ruya's words without hesitation.
Although he is now the second-generation demon Supreme King, he is not really interested in the demons’ government affairs ah! Shui Ruoshan knows himself very well, he has no management skills at all, so even if he wanted to handle the government affairs, he would just be helpless.
"But ..." Yan Ruya saw that the new Supreme King didn't seem to have any interest in political affairs. She hesitated but decided to persuade him again.
Just that she had just spoken, and Shui Ruoshan immediately interrupted her.
"Tell me first about the current status of the demon realm?" Shui Ruoshan wisely changed the subject.
He felt that even with Yan Ruya’s help, he couldn't become an expert in government affairs right away. And he has already prepared himself to be an idle ruler, how could he jump into the pit again? Why do other people wish for their master to not care for anything so that they can firmly control their rights, while it’s completely different for his case? Regarding power control, not only Yan Ruya can let go of everything at the drop of a hat, she even proposed it first to Shui Ruoshan when she saw that he(SRS) had no such intention at all. Moreover, she also wanted to keep him on duty to deal with government affairs, like she can't wait to return the power control.
Should he sigh that Yan Ruya deserves to be the perfect heroine he created? To be able to see money and power as worthless as shit! Thinking about it, he felt so stifled!
"The demon realm was quite stable recently, even when you and Master Huan Tian were away."
Yan Ruya also looked at Yin Suye who was standing silently beside Shui Ruoshan.
"Even if the demons had some unstable situations before, it was successfully solved through the human Supreme King’s help, disregarding former enmity."
Yan Ruya was very practical and gave a brief account of the current situation of the demon race, and at the same time, she mentioned about Yin Suye's help as well. Before this, she might not understand why Yin Suye is willing to help the demons when His Majesty Huan Tian disappeared, and the new demon Supreme King has yet to appear. But now that she has seen Yin Suye's feelings for their new Supreme King, she thinks she understands a bit. Because everything Yin Suye did was for Shui Ruoshan’s sake. Shui Ruoshan is the second-generation demon Supreme King, and Yin Suye, as the human Supreme King, is willing to help the demons unconditionally because helping the demons is equivalent to helping Shui Ruoshan!
"En." Shui Ruoshan nodded as an acknowledgement.
Now that everything is in order, this demon Supreme King can just sit back and relax! After all, his wish is only to be a silent and pretty Supreme King!
"Your Majesty, since you don’t want to deal with government affairs now, why don’t we talk about the celebration to celebrate your return to the demon realm?"
Yan Ruya saw that Shui Ruoshan is really not interested in dealing with government affairs, so she changed her question.
"Celebration?! Isn't this necessary?"
Shui Ruoshan felt that the celebration is a very troublesome and time-consuming activity, so they can just save it! He is determined to be a good demon Supreme King who is diligent and frugal. Extravagance and wasting resources should be rejected!
"Your Majesty, your return to the demon realm is a big event. Your succession to the second generation of the demon Supreme King is a big event as well. Initially, a big event required a celebration, not to mention having two big events together, then it needs a celebration even more. Not to mention, it needs to be big! "
Yan Ruya strongly disagreed with Shui Ruoshan's indifferent attitude.
"If you don't hold a celebration for something as big as your return, it will make people feel that us demons do not respect you. This will make other races look down on us, like how we look down on you as our demon Supreme King!"
"Alright, whatever you say!" Seeing Yan Ruya is still going to continue, Shui Ruoshan wisely stopped her.
If Yan Ruya is allowed to continue to persuade him, he felt that any random national justice, various ethnic relations, status and reputation would emerge. So in order to rest his ears, he finally agreed to hold a celebration. It's just that he didn't know that the heroine in his novel would have the potential to be naggy like Tang Sanzang1. Now he is very sure of one thing, that is there isn’t a time where the various characters written in his novel won't go OOC! The villain went OOC, the protagonist went OOC, and now the heroine also went OOC, can things be worse?
"I agree to hold a celebration, but we have to talk about some things first." Shui Ruoshan felt that although he has compromised, he must stand firm on some things.
"What is it? Please say." Yan Ruya's attitude was respectful.
"You will be solely responsible for the entire celebration, I will not do anything!" Shui Ruoshan smiled slightly when he said his decision.
Since Yan Ruya proposed to hold the celebration, then he will let her arrange it! He will never contribute anything! He is just that straightforwardly lazy!
"Your Majesty, please forgive your subordinate for my ability is limited. There are things that this subordinate does not dare to make decisions at will. Those needs Your Majesty to make a decision."
Yan Ruya gave her reason directly, in a way that she is just one step away from directly saying her status is humble, and she can’t decide on some things on her own.
"I believe in your ability." Shui Ruoshan looked at Yan Ruya with a pair of eyes that say ‘I am confident of you’ and casually pushed things back to her.
He must be an idiot if he believed in Yan Ruya's words! One needs to know, all the while when he has yet to come to the demon realm, Yan Ruya already has the ability to manage the whole demon race. Now that he came, Yan Ruya said she cannot handle a celebration. Who would believe that?
"But this subordinate is not confident!"
Yan Ruya really didn’t feel confident. There are too many things to pay attention to. Other than that, she has not experienced such a celebration before, so she has no experience to learn from. In case she made a mistake, it may affect not only the celebration but the image of the demons and their Supreme King in the eyes of the world, so the celebration must be foolproof. This is the real reason why she dares not take all the matters of the celebration alone.
"What to do?" Shui Ruoshan spread his hands open, indicating that he couldn't help her.
He already said he won’t do anything anyway, he is that domineering! Now he is the demon Supreme King, no one dares to make him do what he does not want to do, he has the capital to be stubborn!
"This subordinate doesn't know." Yan Ruya feels very helpless and could only look at Shui Ruoshan straightforwardly.
Being stared at with such fiery gaze, Shui Ruoshan felt that the pressure is a little too big for him, so he turned his attention to Yin Suye. "Xiao Yeye, what should I do now?"
Receiving the gaze from the little guy calling for help, Yin Suye took a step forward and blocked in front of Shui Ruoshan. That way he cut off Yan Ruya's line of sight, preventing Yan Ruya from continuing to look at the little guy. It was because he already knows that Yan Ruya didn’t have any feelings of love for the little guy and that his little guy needed Yan Ruya to help manage the demons, that he tried to restrain his emotions before this and didn’t take action on Yan Ruya directly. So, as soon as he saw the little guy asking for help, he immediately takes action.
"I'll discuss about the celebration with you." Yin Suye raised his head and looked at Yan Ruya coldly, without any trace of temperature in his eyes.
"Alright then!" Before Yan Ruya can express her opinion, Shui Ruoshan immediately gave his full agreement.
He remembered what Yan Ruya said about Yin Suye helping the demons when he has yet to transmigrate back, so he(YSY) should have a certain understanding of the things the demons do. Hence, letting Yin Suye help him manage some celebrations should be completely no problem.
"In this way, you owe more and more debt to me." Yin Suye lowered his head and whispered softly in Shui Ruoshan's ear, the pampering emotion in his eyes was very obvious.
"..." Shui Ruoshan only felt his ears becoming hot, and his face turned red uncontrollably.
In the next second, Shui Ruoshan glared Yin Suye unwillingly. Whatever, just be in debt then! He has no ability to repay the debt to Xiao Yeye in a short time, so Xiao Yeye can do however he likes, he(SRS) is not afraid!
"Your Majesty Supreme King, let's discuss the general part of the celebration first, can we?" Yan Ruya asked Yin Suye for instructions.
Not to mention Yin Suye’s identity as the human Supreme King, just by his status as His Majesty’s lover deserves to be treated with courtesy by Yan Ruya.
"Alright." After teasing the little guy, Yin Suye’s mood became better so he nodded at Yan Ruya as an acknowledgement.
"I think the celebration should..." Yan Ruya immediately entered the discussion mode.
"..."
Shui Ruoshan watched the two who entered the work mode so quickly by the side and was speechless. Before this, he was still the focus of everyone. How can he become the neglected one now?
