The ancient corridor was dimly lit, as if time itself had frozen.

The demon corps, initially looking around in confusion, suddenly transformed into a state of panic.

Chaotic arguments continuously arose from within the demon corps ranks.

Finally, all eyes focused on the Great Love Poet.

She became the sole protagonist, as if illuminated by a spotlight.

"You actually trapped our superior and the Blood Clan envoy!"

The demons of the Demon Realm Inspection Department's guard corps standing outside finally grasped the true situation, shouting angrily at the Great Love Poet and vice principal in disbelief.

However.

The Great Love Poet simply stood up from the ground unhurriedly, regaining her previous graceful and elegant posture.

"You all saw it earlier, didn't you? I advised the Blood Clan envoy, tried to stop him."

"Every word I said was true, but he didn't believe me, did he?"

"What, are you being unreasonable and trying to bully a little lady like me?"

She slightly raised her chin, questioning all the demons of the guard corps with her provocatively sweet voice.

"...!!"

The lead demon of the guard corps gritted his teeth, his mind in chaos, unable to respond to her words for a long time.

They had indeed heard this principal kindly advising the Blood Clan envoy several times earlier in the corridor leading to the second floor!

"You dare to set traps in the academy, do you know what the consequences are?"

Another adjutant immediately stared sternly at the Great Love Poet, seemingly having found a reason, with the intention of using force to arrest the principal.

"Traps? What are you talking about? I don't understand."

The Great Love Poet narrowed her left eye, shaking her head with a sneer.

Before she could explain further, the vice principal behind her stepped forward, emitting terrifying waves of magical power to drive back the Inspection Department corps who dared to be disrespectful:

"The performance in the Demon King's Bestowed Theater has always been broadcasted through Magic Eyes to the great nobles! They can all testify that this was a perfectly normal performance, absolutely not a trap we set! It's just that the Blood Clan envoy insisted on barging in!"

The vice principal's voice was like muffled thunder, echoing repeatedly in this dim corridor.

"!!"

The guard corps, who were initially prepared for confrontation, gradually stepped back.

The school's explanation was flawless.

The more they spoke, the more the military side found they couldn't argue!

Moreover, even if they wanted to go in and rescue the Blood Clan envoy and their superiors, no one dared to enter this giant door that surely had no return!

"Strictly seal off the entrance! We must not let such a tragedy happen again!"

The Great Love Poet's expression became more resolute as she commanded righteously.

Enjoying this book? Seek out the original to ensure the author gets credit.

"Understood."

Led by the vice principal, along with a group of senior professors, they all stood guard in front of the theater door in this corridor.

"You...?!"

Although the guard corps knew that the actions of these bastard teachers were openly eliminating any possibility of rescuing the Blood Clan envoy and their superiors.

But this shameless principal seemed to have occupied the moral high ground, leaving them no room for rebuttal!

And so.

Clearly divided, the two sides of demons remained in a standoff in the corridor for quite some time.

As the demons in the corps gradually calmed down to think, they slowly realized a terrifying fact in their hearts—

Originally, the Inspection Department and Education Department had already taken preemptive action against the academy, transferring away the strongest principal.

Yet not only did the school produce an acting principal, but they also easily manipulated the Blood Clan envoy and the Inspection Department.

Everything seemed like perfect coincidences, yet there was also a sense of inevitability!

As if a great hand was controlling everything from behind.

The school likely had powerful assistance backing them!

If they continued to oppose the school, the present Inspection Department corps might not be able to escape, and might even die without leaving evidence.

But they didn't dare to return in such a sorry state no matter what. If they couldn't safely escort the Blood Clan envoy back, returning would also mean certain death!

So.

The demons of the Inspection Department corps, as if enduring torture.

Were on pins and needles.

They could only remain stuck at the entrance of Corridor No. 24, unable to advance or retreat.

Seeing their tormented state, the Great Love Poet smiled with satisfaction, as if she had just enjoyed a feast.

"Vice Principal, I'll leave the task of sealing off Corridor No. 24 to you."

The Great Love Poet stroked her smooth gray hair, turning to leave without any further concerns.

She had done so much hard work, it was time for her to relax a bit.

"Please rest assured."

The vice principal bowed to the Great Love Poet's back, saying gratefully.

He knew that thanking this noble demon lady would also convey gratitude to that great person.

...

On the intricate and stylistically diverse corridors.

Although there were patrolling teachers, as long as they witnessed this gray-haired, red-dressed demon passing by, they would all respectfully nod in greeting.

The Great Love Poet looked at the map in her hand, and just as she was about to enter the next corridor, Huberrian finally materialized from her invisible state beside her.

It was Huberrian who had been acting as bait in the Demon King's Bestowed Theater earlier to attract the Blood Clan envoy.

With some resistance to musical magic and having taken precautions in advance, she could safely escape the theater's control.

After confirming that the Blood Clan envoy was unable to act, she had slipped out unnoticed while invisible.

"Tell Lanqi not to worry, I've confirmed that the Blood Clan envoy and other Inspection Department officers have all joined the grand chorus."

Huberrian said with a sigh.

In this short twelve-hour trip to the demon academy, she probably used up all the merit she had accumulated over a dozen years.

Huberrian knew that through the Great Love Poet, she could contact Lanqi, who was diligently working in the principal's office.

That guy had completely taken on the role of principal.

"..."

The Great Love Poet nodded, communicating mentally with Lanqi.

"He says thank you for your hard work, and wants you, Huberrian, to take me out to have some fun."

The Great Love Poet quickly said to Huberrian with a smile.

For the Great Love Poet, besides Lanqi, the most familiar person was Huberrian, whom she had met a few times.

Moreover, for some unknown reason, the Great Love Poet always felt a sense of closeness from Huberrian.

As if there was a faint blood connection between them.

"You can go wherever you want to play."

Huberrian opened her palm to the Great Love Poet, revealing several 10-credit coins lying in her hand.

Huberrian felt she was gradually becoming a babysitter.

Lanqi's final task for her was to accompany the Great Love Poet to the functional area on his behalf to reward her.

Ostensibly to accompany the Great Love Poet for fun, but in reality, it was to ask Huberrian to keep an eye on this unpredictable demon ability.

"Haha, watch me spend all his mana and play to my heart's content!"

The Great Love Poet happily started dancing ballet on the spot.

Lanqi had promised her that after helping him with this matter, he would let her enjoy some freedom like the wind.

And Lanqi had indeed kept his promise.

However, it was probably because Lanqi didn't dare to let her out in the real world, so he took the opportunity to let her have some fun and get some fresh air in this already cleared Shadow World.

"Where do you want to go?"

Huberrian leaned in closer, looking at the map in the Great Love Poet's hand and asking.

She knew that epic-level summons like the Great Love Poet would have unique consciousness and personalities.

But she didn't know what kind of creepy things a pure demon with such a vicious personality as the Great Love Poet would like most.

"Let's first go to the Demon King's Bestowed Restaurant to buy some food, then I want to visit the Demon Realm Plant Cultivation Garden."

The Great Love Poet happily stepped forward, already eager to go.

Huberrian tilted her head in confusion.

Could it be that this gray-haired succubus's favorite things were flowers and plants?
