Chapter 772: Confrontation
The female demon’s slender silhouette was mesmerizing and alluring. With an elegantly curved waist and long, graceful legs that peeked out from her outfit, she had the power to make anyone’s heart skip a beat. Her skin was flawlessly beautiful, and her face radiated an enchanting charm. Especially her pair of big and round breasts that seemed to captured everyone’s breath.
This female demon who just injured demons here was Prince Xie.
Shenlian Yingyue was puzzled as to why the formidable female demon was addressed as Prince Xie instead of Princess Xie. So, Zhiyi, who is typically the most reserved and gentle person in this group, took the initiative to explain things to her, drawing on his extensive knowledge from the many hours he spent in the library.
It became clear that in the Demon Realm, there was a peculiar tradition: there were no princesses, only princes. This seemed to reflect a broader societal norm that sought to diminish female authority, asserting that even powerful women must be referred to as ’Prince’ or ’King.’
This practice of designating strong female demons with masculine titles had its roots in ancient traditions, tracing back millions of years.
In demon societies, it was customary to employ masculine titles for rulers regardless of their gender, a tradition that persisted even for female leaders. This trend stemmed from patriarchal systems and ideologies that viewed men as the default leaders and decision-makers.
"Prince Xie, please calm down your fury!" the demons pleaded, desperation in their voices. This was no jest; while they wouldn’t face death, Prince Xie’s methods of retribution for her grievances were gruesome and fearsome.
Just as it is now, their blood vessels ruptured, sending splatters of crimson across the scene. In Demon City, a thick stench of blood hung heavily in the air, while countless organs and chunks of demon flesh were hurled about. They had the ability to reassemble their bodies, yet fear of inciting Prince Xie’s wrath held them in check, leaving them to endure the agony.
The faces of the Upper Rank Demons were devoid of any expression. There was no sign of compassion for their suffering kin.
