Chapter 013: A Deluge Arrives

Of course, don't think that just because hellhounds are huge and breathe fire, they are formidable here.

In reality, most hellhounds are considered pets of demons in hell; a low-ranking demon can easily kill several hellhounds.

Thus, hellhounds hold a truly low status in hell, and they are particularly prolific, often giving birth to seven or eight pups in a litter, or even over a dozen.

So in hell, hellhounds outnumber demons.

Approximately five hellhounds are equivalent to one low-ranking demon.

This time, Lady Gremory sent Wang Bo a thousand hellhounds, equivalent to two hundred demons.

"Master."

The hellhound leader, upon seeing Wang Bo, placed the parchment contract it had been holding in its mouth before him. Wang Bo accepted the contract and waved his hand, sending all the hellhounds into the Time Villa.

His Time Villa had undergone several expansions and could now accommodate more species.

After the hellhounds, the next to appear were the demon bees!

So-called demon bees are actually bees from hell, much larger than earthly bees; each demon bee is the size of an adult's fist.

When the swarm of demon bees flew out of the magic circle, the incessant buzzing filled the air, making Wang Bo's heart race. Although he did not suffer from trypophobia, seeing so many demon bees, each fist-sized, flying in a dense swarm, still made his scalp tingle and his skin crawl.

The combat power of demon bees is absolutely the lowest in hell, even inferior to hellhounds.

A single hellhound can wipe out hundreds of demon bees in one go.

But in terms of status, demon bees are far higher than hellhounds, and even low-ranking demons are not as esteemed as demon bees.

All of this is thanks to the honey collected by demon bees, which is an absolute luxury in hell.

Not only does it have the effect of increasing magical power, but it is also extremely delicious.

Ordinary demons simply cannot afford to keep these demon bees; only a demon god like Lady Gremory could generously gift demon bees to Wang Bo.

The number of demon bees was the same as the hellhounds—one thousand—but they were far more valuable than the hellhounds.

Wang Bo casually sent the demon bees into the Time Villa and continued to receive the next batch of species.

This time, he received demon cattle, also known as hell cattle.

The milk produced by these demon cattle is delicious and far surpasses earthly milk, but in hell, it is not a luxury; every demon can afford it.

Thus, demon cattle are not highly valuable.

Besides demon cattle, Wang Bo also received hell ants, scythe sheep, magic fruit trees, magic fish, ghost flowers, and other hellish species, both plant and animal.

Wang Bo naturally sent them into the Time Villa, letting the diligent demons classify and plant them.

This time, Wang Bo spent several hours receiving all these species and arranging them in the Time Villa.

By the time Wang Bo destroyed the magic circle and returned to the castle, the sky had darkened.

The butler emerged from the Time Villa and presented Wang Bo with a sumptuous dinner, all made from hellish ingredients.

How to put it? In terms of appearance, it gave one the feeling that this was indeed a hellish meal.

Take, for example, the milk beside Wang Bo. Human milk is white, but the milk of hell is blood-red, giving the impression of a cup of scarlet blood.

Then there were the fruits from the demon tree; the chopped fruit looked like chunks of flesh, and they kept squirming.

After seeing this, Wang Bo indeed had little appetite.

The appearance of these foods was far too unfriendly to humans.

In the end, Wang Bo, with a mindset of just trying them, ate everything. He found that although the food looked terrible, it tasted quite good.

It was much more delicious than ordinary food.

However, Wang Bo still felt he couldn't stand it; he always felt that if he ate too much of this stuff, his mind might become polluted. So he said to the butler, "Next time you cook, use whatever method to make it look more like human food."

The butler nodded, "No problem, my great master."

The next day, when Wang Bo had breakfast, the butler indeed made the food more appealing to human aesthetics. For instance, the blood-red milk, with something added, turned a translucent light red.

It no longer looked like blood, but more like a red beverage.

The other items were also changed one by one, and Wang Bo ate with great relish.

In the following days, everything was calm. The news that the kingdom was guarded by a dragon spread to several neighboring countries, and along with this news came the matter of Prince Kit selecting a princess.

For a time, this news attracted the attention of many.

Wang Bo's castle became lively once again.

Visitors came from far and wide, bringing precious gifts, hoping to meet Wang Bo.

The first to arrive was none other than the envoy from the Kingdom of Xuna, who had been thrown out by Wang Bo's butler.

This time, the blond envoy, dressed in a well-fitted formal suit, knocked on the door of Wang Bo's castle with a humble smile.

His purpose was simple: he hoped Wang Bo would put in a good word before the king and prince, so that the prince would choose the little princess of Xuna.

Once their two kingdoms united, two dragons could sweep through the surrounding countries and establish a larger kingdom.

At that time, the ruler of Xuna would be willing to share the world with them.

Wang Bo smiled faintly and made no comment.

After seeing off the envoy from Xuna, envoys from other countries arrived one after another, with the same goal: hoping Wang Bo would put in a good word before the king and prince, so that the prince would choose a princess from their own country.

Among them, the one bearing the heaviest gifts was undoubtedly the envoy from the Kingdom of White Chrysanthemum.

Ever since the Kingdom of White Chrysanthemum lost to the Kingdom of Xuna, it no longer had its former dominance; its territory was gradually being swallowed by Xuna, and perhaps in a few years, the Kingdom of White Chrysanthemum would be finished.

So when they heard that a neighboring country was guarded by a dragon and the prince was seeking a princess, they eagerly brought gifts.

Now, the Kingdom of White Chrysanthemum urgently hoped to form a marriage alliance with Wang Bo's country, using the dragon of this country to resist the Kingdom of Xuna and protect their own kingdom.

To this end, they even promised that if Wang Bo would help them and facilitate this matter, they would grant Wang Bo a territory and make him a true grand duke.

A powerful noble with a fief.

Wang Bo was not interested in this.

Besides the Kingdom of White Chrysanthemum, the one with the heaviest gifts was the envoy from the Kingdom of Zaragoza.

Wang Bo was not interested in this.
