Chapter 61: The Group Leader’s Admirer
In a cozy and spacious luxurious room.
Night Star was flailing her arms like a windmill, trying to reenact the scene she was describing.
With sparkling eyes, she recounted every detail, pouring out a flood of emotions through her words as if she had witnessed the entire event firsthand.
Lulu Lana was completely captivated by Night Star’s storytelling, not a single question or interruption, fully invested, her emotions reaching a peak of shock.
For instance: “Wait, that happened?! Really?! So that’s how it was!” and the like.
Through Night Star’s narration, Lulu Lana was introduced to an entirely new world and her horizons were broadened.
Time ticked away, one second at a time.
Night Star, parched from all the talking, finally finished spinning her yarn.
“Night Star, drink some water.”
Lulu Lana handed her a glass of freshly boiled water, looking grateful.
“Uh, thanks.”
Night Star gulped down a big swig of water, finally letting out a sigh of relief.
She had really put herself through the wringer with that storytelling.
Night Star’s expressive storytelling skills were already quite “unique,” and she had really pushed her brain to the limit to make this story come alive.
She almost squeezed all her brain cells dry.
But hey, all for the love of the adorable little loli! Winning over her affection was a worthy cause!
With that thought in her mind, Night Star asked, “So, what do you think now that you know all the details?”
“Um, I’m just shocked! I feel really shocked! I never expected it to be so mind-boggling, my worldview is completely blown!”
Looks like Lulu Lana was indeed well protected by her family.
The chaos of the Free Country was already rampant, and the accidents caused by the Stars were even more plentiful.
In such an environment, for Lulu Lana to be completely oblivious was pretty absurd.
Clearly, her family didn’t want her to face that reality too soon.
But would Night Star telling her this invite trouble?
If someone came after them, it would be the end of the line.
Well, hiding in the theater should keep them safe.
Lulu Lana was still busy digesting Night Star’s words.
“Who would have thought there were such hidden agendas? The Holy Church is just so wicked!”
“Right?! The Holy Church is truly evil! They’ve done nothing but bad things!” Night Star chimed in enthusiastically.
“Mirror Sister is so pitiful, and so is everyone in the theater, and the Group Leader is pitiful too…”
“Uh-huh, exactly! If it weren’t for the Holy Church, they wouldn’t have had to suffer such a tragedy.”
“The Holy Church totally deserves it.”
“Absolutely! They 100% deserve it! Who told them to be so bad?”
Both Night Star and Lulu Lana were furious together.
The two little lolis were so riled up that you could practically see them daydreaming about punching that Holy Knight Jian Ji’an so hard he wouldn’t recognize his own mother.
During her storytelling, Night Star had exaggerated Jian Ji’an’s deeds, making him sound like a villain straight out of a cheesy comic book, like a full-on hate magnet.
Naturally, Lulu Lana developed a solid dislike for this Jian Ji’an guy too.
Even the usually sweet and polite Lulu Lana felt the urge to throw some punches and shout a few curse words.
After a fit of rage, the two little lolis gradually settled down.
After all, the Holy Church was long gone.
And Jian Ji’an was a relic of the past too.
Being mad about something that no longer existed was like trying to squeeze juice from a stone—utterly pointless.
It’s like reading a book.
Whenever you see those despicable villains committing heinous acts, there’s always that simmering anger inside, but once they’ve gotten their just desserts, the anger tends to dissipate.
When push comes to shove, a few well-placed insults might suffice—no need to let it get to such a boiling point that it harms your health!
Taking a deep breath, Lulu Lana calmed herself and said to Night Star, “Thank you, Night Star. If you hadn’t told me all this, I might never have known the real events.”
“Well~ it’s no big deal.”
Night Star didn’t mind sharing the Group Leader’s tale with others.
It wasn’t exactly a colossal secret.
Though she wouldn’t just spill the beans casually either.
If it weren’t for Lulu Lana conveniently knowing about this, and Night Star’s curiosity about documenting the Group Leader’s dark transformation, she wouldn’t have spilled so easily.
Even if it were that super cute little loli asking, she wouldn’t have given in.
Night Star was really good at resisting temptation.
At that moment, Lulu Lana asked another question, “I actually have one more query. How come you know so many details? It feels like you must’ve witnessed it yourself.”
Night Star’s earlier demeanor indeed resembled that of someone who had been a witness.
But the problem was, this all happened a long time ago, and Night Star was so young now that there was no way she could’ve seen it.
So, there must be something fishy going on.
Lulu Lana was super curious about this.
“Ah, well…”
Night Star hesitated.
She really wanted to say it was because she witnessed it herself, but that sounded too absurd—no one would ever believe that, so she opted to keep quiet.
“Actually, I learned this from another book.” Night Star casually spun a little tale.
“Is that true?”
Lulu Lana’s expression was full of skepticism, clearly not buying Night Star’s explanation.
Although she was a little loli, she wasn’t that naïve.
She was observant enough to notice.
If Night Star knew about this from a book, there was no way she could have conveyed those emotions so vividly just now.
Those details, those feelings, that momentum—none of it could have been gleaned from a book.
Before Night Star had a chance to formulate a response, Lulu Lana pressed on with more questions.
“And by the way, didn’t you mention the Demon King still exists? You know where that Demon King is now, right?”
“Er…”
Night Star’s brain was starting to short-circuit.
Well, now that she had already let the cat out of the bag, why not just own it?
It’d be exhausting to think up layers upon layers of lies.
Honestly, it was better just to confess.
Though some secrets were still off-limits, like the whole deal about her being a Star.
“I do know where the Demon King is! And as for how I know all these details—not from a book, but because the Demon King told me personally.”
Night Star crafted a lie that was just believable enough.
Lulu Lana’s eyes lit up.
“I knew it! So where is the Demon King now? Can you take me to see him?”
“Uh… Aren’t you scared?”
Night Star had a rather strange expression.
It seemed Lulu Lana was still a fan of the Group Leader?
Out of curiosity, perhaps?
Isn’t it a bit ridiculous to idolize the Demon King recorded in books?
In the timeline where the Group Leader had turned, she would have been burned at the stake for heresy!
Lulu Lana shook her head, indicating she wasn’t afraid of the Group Leader.
“I was a bit scared at first, but once I learned the reason why the Group Leader became the Demon King from you, I’m not that scared anymore! Since the Demon King has successfully taken revenge, he surely won’t harm innocent people, right?”
“Hm~ you’re probably right.” Night Star pondered, considering her words.
With her around, the Group Leader was indeed not in the business of hurting anyone.
Most of the time, it was just about the uncontrollable issues with Star Eclipses—take those away, and there were no problems at all.
“Then let me see the legendary Demon King.”
