Demon Lord Zhurong stretched out a hand to pull Xu Hui to her feet, the two stood side by side in the small room. He was taller than her by a couple of inches, but not so much that she had to strain to look a him."Close your eyes."
The demon lord gave the command in a deep soft voice, hearing it made Xu Hui to feel somewhat self conscious of his presence which was almost too close for her liking. Reluctantly, the BaoXu disciple did as commanded, while Hei Zhurong changed positions to stay behind her, taking out a black sash out from the front part of his inner robe.
Xu Hui knew the exact moment that her eyes were covered by her captor, she could feel the smoothness of the fabric that served as a blindfold over her eyes. This greater another layer of darkness after her eyes was shut in obedience to "Prince Rong," who tied the ends of the blindfold.
Demon Lord Zhurong reached out a hand and held those of Xu Hui.
"It"s time."
"Will you take it off or do I have to keep on wearing it?"
"Of course I"ll have it taken off once we get to the place I wish to show you!"
The demon lord looked at the face of the woman that he brought into his kingdom under the guise of being a fox prince, the power of the magical tool under his possession made it possible for her not to suspect that he was not who he presented himself to be, the mirror suppressed the presence of demon aura and energy from being sensed by those that were not of demon origin. He could use a portion of his powers without being detected, at times the demon lord marvelled at how strong the influence of the magic tool was in keeping demon energy from being detected for miles.
The two walked out of the room hand in hand, as the demon lord locked the door using his demon energy. As they kept walking, many of the soldiers would stop what they were doing to give a silent greeting to their ruler, they were all aware that the demon lord had brought a woman from the cultivation world, but only a few had ever caught glimpse of her until now.
They were all given strict orders not to refer to him as the demon lord while she was around. They continued to walk through the narrow pa.s.sage that led out of the palace into a deserted part of the demon kingdom where a beautiful sight lay ahead.
"Are we almost there?!"
Xu Hui could feel her feet starting to hurt from the endless walk from where the "fox prince" had taken her from, "Where is he taking me too?!"
Demon Lord Zhurong chuckled when he heard her begin to question their arrival.
"Just a little more and we will be there shortly."
Xu Hui bit her tongue from giving a salty response to him, "I"m tired! When is this tortue going to end!"
After her rebirth, the BaoXu disciple became easily worn out and would sleep for quite some time. There was no gra.s.s, only dirt as they kept on walking to where Hei Zhurong was taking them.
The demon lord came to a sudden stop and that was when the BaoXu disciple guessed that they had gotten to the place.
"Here we are!"
Xu Hui could almost leap for joy, the urge to fling the boot on her feet and walk barefoot was great, but she also wanted to be mindful of maintaining good manners regardless of whom she was with and the place she was at.
