"Rias, tell me, what exactly happened? Your fiancé went straight to Sid's house the moment he got back? If this gets out, where will I put my face?"

"Father, this is Kong Yang's wish, there's nothing I can do about it."

"What do you mean there's no way? You're his fiancée, and he's your fiancé. What can't an engaged couple say?"

"My relationship with him is somewhat complicated."

"Don't try to fool me, Rias. Your engagement to Phoenix has already humiliated the Gremory family once. Are you going to do it again?"

“Father, Kong Yang and I are just boyfriend and girlfriend, while Cang Na has long been Kong Yang’s woman.”

Seeing her father's obvious anger, Rias decided to go all out and voice her thoughts.

"And what about you? Even Cangna Xidi knows to try to please men, what about you?"

“Father, am I just a commodity? Was I born to please men? Before, it was Riesel, and now it’s Kong Yang.”

"Then tell me, what else can you do?"

“I will prove to you, Father, that I, Rias, am no less than anyone else, and that I can support the Gremory family all by myself.”

"What good is supporting the Gremory family if there are no offspring? Who will carry on the Gremory family tradition?"

With just one sentence, Rias was completely speechless, and Rias's mother, Vinerana, whose expression changed drastically.

Because his daughter-in-law, Grefia, Sazex's only wife, was right there, Geotix's words were practically implying that Grefia was infertile.

This is why Geotix and Sazex are both trying their best to bring Kong Yang and Rias together.

The Gimonli family has no hope of continuing its lineage. The eldest son and daughter-in-law have been childless for many years, and the second daughter's current situation with her fiancé is unknown.

A family needs to be passed down; otherwise, no matter how powerful a family is, it will be destroyed once its continuity and inheritance are broken.

Even though the Gremory family is currently enjoying great prestige and has a son of a demon king, they are still in the limelight.

But without descendants, without inheritance, what good is any glory?

Gurefia stood to the side, outwardly expressionless, but inwardly she felt deeply distressed. She had served them for so many years; even if she hadn't done anything particularly meritorious, she had certainly put in a lot of hard work. She never imagined that…

But there's nothing she can do about it, because the problem isn't with her.

Even if she wanted a child, she couldn't do it alone.

Chapter 122 A Conversation Between Mother-in-Law and Daughter-in-Law! (Bonus Chapter)

After calming down, Geotix looked at Grefia beside him with a hint of apology in his eyes.

However, since everyone was present, including Rias's family, he couldn't bring himself to apologize to his daughter-in-law, so he remained silent.

Vinilana, wanting to share her husband's burdens, held Gurefia's hand in one hand.

As parents, they were naturally aware of their son's condition, but what could they do? Although it was a thorn in their side, they couldn't possibly let Gurefia go and have a sperm donor.

Regardless of whether Grefia agrees or not, without the Gremory bloodline, will the Gremory family still be the one to inherit the family name in the future?

Rias is now the only hope, but she is spoiled rotten and obsessed with proving herself, and is extremely resistant to the engagement.

"I'm done eating~"

After saying that, Rias turned and left.

As for Akeno and the others, now that Rias had left, it was even more inappropriate for them to stay there any longer, so they all got up and left.

Geotix's face also turned ugly. He had actually been given the cold shoulder by his daughter?

"This is all thanks to your good upbringing. Look at her, she's already giving me attitude now. Who knows what she'll do in the future?"

"You should say less. I think Rias is right."

"What's right? Family tradition is above all else."

Vinilana sighed and didn't continue arguing with her husband.

She was married to Geoticus through an arranged marriage, and although she has lived with him all these years without complaint, she still harbors some resentment.

But now that she's a parent, she naturally won't do anything out of line anymore.

Rias is her daughter, and Rias has already lived her life this way. She doesn't want her daughter to become like that, so she supports Rias's current thoughts.

She hopes her daughter will find true happiness, not a marriage arranged by her elders.

"Madam~"

After Geotix left, only Vinilana and Gurefia remained in the restaurant.

Looking at her daughter-in-law beside her, Vinilana sighed.

The union of Sazex and Grefia was, in essence, a political marriage, the ultimate purpose of which was to appease the old Demon King faction.

Back then, Grefia held a very high position in the old Demon King's party and had an outstanding record.

Sazex's marriage to Grefia signifies the acceptance of the old Demon Lord faction by the new one.

The two people did have feelings for each other and were indeed willing, but that did not change the fact that it was still a political marriage.

Moreover, marrying her own son and suffering for so many years meant not only managing the entire Gremory household but also helping her husband, Sazex.

However, over the years, because she has not had any children, there have been some unpleasant rumors circulating about her.

In this respect, women are always the target.

"You've suffered so much all these years~"

"I'm used to it, Lady Vinilana~"

If there was anyone in the entire Gremory family who treated her the best, it would be the lady of the Gremory family standing before her.

Perhaps because they were both women who married into the Gremory family, Vinilana treated Grefia very well, even better than Sazex and Rias.

This is a kind of sympathy, similar to 'misery loves company', especially since Gurefia is in such a special position.

"Kong Yang and Rias, do you know what happened?"

"I'm not entirely sure either, but it seems that Rias harbors resentment towards Kong Yang because of his favoritism towards Cangnasidi, which makes her unhappy."

"That's what I wanted to ask too, is that Cangnasidi with him?"

"Yes, and even before Rias, not only Cannasidi, but all her familiars have now submitted to Kongyang."

At this moment, Vinilana couldn't help but sigh in admiration. "Wow, that's amazing! With her and all her retinues, so many people are naturally able to win over a man's heart."

If Cang knew about this, she would be both amused and exasperated. It was clearly those guys who couldn't resist and ran ahead of her.

"Where is Narias?"

"To be honest, Rias didn't have much contact with Kong Yang. The only time she spent more than half a month teaching him was out of respect for Sirzechs. On that occasion, the Queen of Cangnasidi became Kong Yang's girlfriend."

"This"

Now Vinilana was speechless. Wow, this plot is too exciting!

"So what do you think of this person?"

"Very strong, even surpassing Sazex back then. He reached the Demon Lord level at a young age, and still has many trump cards that he hasn't revealed."

"Rias still can't let go. The Siddi family's insight is so clear; they grasped a man's preferences in an instant."

No man is immune to lust, including her husband Geotix. She was the only wife in the Gremory household, but that doesn't mean Geotix didn't have other women.

She knew that Geoticus had many lovers outside, but she didn't care.

As long as he doesn't bring women home, Geotix won't care what he does.

The reason she had this confidence was because her family was the top family among the seventy-two pure-blood families, the Baal family. As a daughter of the Baal family, marrying Geotix was already a step down for her, so Geotix naturally could not take a concubine.

"It seems I need to find an opportunity to talk to Rias."

"Does Madam mean to refer to Torias?"

“That child is very similar to me back then, except that I didn’t disobey my family, but she wants to.”

Gurefia didn't say anything; her mother-in-law was quite formidable back in the day.

Rias, the flaxen-haired Slayer Princess, was once infamous in the Underworld. Her title was simply inherited from her mother.

This is why, even though Geotix has gone out to find women all these years, he hasn't dared to cause any trouble. His wife is very formidable, and if he goes too far, things could get really messy.

"Greefia~"

"Madam, what's wrong?"

"If all else fails, I can talk to Sazex and let you..."

"Madam, no need."

“This is not fair to you. The situation of the demons is already stable, and they no longer need your sacrifice.”

"It's alright. Besides, I'm used to serving Madam."

"You silly child."

Vinilana sighed, feeling even more sorry for Gurefia.

Chapter 123 A Conversation with My Future Father-in-Law! (Second Bonus Chapter)

Three days later, after returning to the underworld, Kong Yang stayed at Xidi's house for three whole days.

Over the past three days, Kong Yang and Cang Na have secretly tried it in many places around the house.

Furthermore, with her parents' permission and Cang Na's desire to bear children for Kong Yang, she indulged Kong Yang's whims for the past three days, completely abandoning all the ladylike restraint she had cultivated over the years.

Three days passed, and Cangna stopped Kong Yang from continuing his nonsense and sent him to Jimonri's house.

Some things can be done, but they can't go too far. After all, Kong Yang is still the son-in-law of the Gimori family. He has already slapped Gimori in the face by staying at the Sidi's house for three days. If this continues, it will be too much.

However, when going to the Gimori family, Kong Yang left Asia at the Siddi family's house. It would be better to have Cang Na keep an eye on this little girl.

Arriving at the Gilmores' house, they weren't welcomed as warmly as when they went to the Sidis' house; in fact, they felt a sense of being interrogated.

In the living room, Kong Yang and Geoticus sat directly opposite each other.

"It seems Kong Yang is having a great time at Xidi's house. He's been here for three days and doesn't want to leave.

"There's nothing I can do. It's my first time tasting the forbidden fruit, and I can't help it. We're all men, Uncle, you should understand."

"Humph~"

Geotix snorted, but his anger had subsided considerably.

As Kong Yang said, they are all men, so it's really understandable.

He wouldn't give it to his own daughter, but he would to Xidi's daughter, so it's normal that Kong Yang favors her. If it were him, he would probably do something similar.

"What do you plan to do about Rias? You've probably already noticed that Rias is dissatisfied with you."

"I don't care. This engagement was just to shut Phoenix up in the first place. If the Gremory family wants to break it off, I have no objection."

“You may not have any objections, but I do. My Gremory family is considered a superior family. If we break off the engagement twice, how can Rias possibly get married? What will the entire Underworld say about us behind our backs?”

"That's none of my business. I'm not a demon."

This last sentence struck at the heart of Geotix's speechlessness. Kong Yang was not a demon, so he didn't care what the demon said to him.

Moreover, it wasn't Kong Yang who broke off the engagement twice, but Rias. Even if the engagement was broken off, Kong Yang still had the Siddi family. Even if there was no formal marriage contract, the woman had already been given to someone else, so how could she run away?

At this moment, Geotix was incredibly envious of his old rival. Why was there such a huge difference between their daughters?

Look at Cannashidi, she actively pursued a man just to win him over. And look at Rias, she's already engaged, yet she's still acting like this. It's driving him crazy.

In fact, Geoticus harbored a deep-seated ambition.

He married Vinilana of House Baal, and his son and daughter both gained the destructive power unique to the Baal family.

If Rias marries Kong Yang, their children might possess both darkness and destruction magic.

In that case, when Rias's son grows up, he can inherit the Gremory family's legacy and lead the Gremory family to even greater heights.

It could even allow the Demon Clan and the Gremory Clan to truly unite.

This is much better than Phoenix. Most importantly, although the Demon God Clan is a clan, there is only one Kong Yang. If she marries him, she will be the clan leader's wife.

As for Riesel of the Phoenix family, although he is the third son, the right to inherit the family business is not in his hands at all.

The difference is immediately apparent when compared.
