Day after day, Demon Lord Zhurong and Xu Hui would go on their outing to their secret hideout some distance from the palace of the demon kingdom. Spending time together talking with one another."What will you do when you return to YuanLi sect?"
Demon Lord Zhurong with glowing lilac blue eyes looked at the sparkling dark midnight ones of Xu Hui, the other looked as though she was deep in thought, before raising her head to look straight at him.
"I"ll continue as the young mistress of the sect, for as long as I can or until I"m found out."
The BaoXu sect disciple, spoke in a calm tone of voice as though she had come to accept her fate. Hei Zhurong continued to look at her, he almost couldn"t take his eyes from that of Xu Hui. Today was actually their last time together in the demon realm, but he found it difficult to tell her, in a way he didn"t want to spoil the remainder of the time he had to spend with her.
Xu Hui saw the way the demon lord was staring at her and thought she may have gotten a part of the food she ate on her face.
"Is there anything on my face?!"
When she saw that the person with her wasn"t answering back, Xu Hui reached towards her face and began wiping it with her hand, as though to remove what was there.
Seeing this, the demon lord pointed at her, throwing his head back to laugh at what she was doing.
"Look at you, cleaning your face so diligently!"
Hearing the demon lord mocking her, made Xu Hui"s face take on a sour look, thereby causing her to stop brus.h.i.+ng off what she thought to be on her face.
"I asked you if there was anything on my face! You didn"t say a word and that made me think that you were looking at food stains on my face, now you think you can be laughing at me?!"
Hei Zhurong could not put a name to the feeling he had at that moment, he wanted to capture it for as long as he could, but the demon lord knew that his time was about to run out which made every single thing they did together very precious.
Using his index fingers, he tapped lighting against the smooth forehead of Xu Hui, watching as her eyes widened when his skin met those of hers, the atmosphere around them suddenly changed from a playful one to that of heavy tension.
The demon lord"s laughter died, as his eyes remained unwavering while taking in those of Xu Hui, who sat beside him on a folded fabric with their back against the plum tree that they had come to watch together. The BaoXu sect disciple"s eyes remained fixed on those of the demon lord, she kept wondering why he was looking at her even more strangely than before, "Is there really something on my face other than food?!"
Not unusual for someone like her to think that way, because the young maiden had no experience when it came to the matters of the heart. Hei Zhurong reached a hand to tuck a tendril that had fallen loose from the silver and purple bejeweled comb that held her hair together.
Xu Hui wasn"t expecting him to touch her hair, this made her shrink further back against the tree, in a bid to evade his hand.
"Stay still!"
Hearing the hoa.r.s.eness of his voice, made the BaoXu sect disciple"s cheek to stain a light shade of pink, she remained where she was after hearing what sounded like an order from the demon lord.
Hei Zhurong felt a roaring in his ears, the urge to kiss the woman in front of him became stronger than before, he leaned closer to Xu Hui watching as her chest rose and fell almost steadily. Her rose pink lips called out to the sleeping beast that was inside of him.
"Why is he coming close, he"s not going to do what I think it is?!"
Xu Hui"s eyes further widened when the thought crossed her mind that the demon lord was going to swoop down and kiss her under the plum tree.
Demon Lord Zhurong had brought his head close enough to feel her breath on his face, as his lips were about to descend on those of Xu Hui, the other had her eyes closed and turned her head to the side, to avoid kissing him. Looking at the way she closed her eyes so tightly made, Hei Zhurong think that Xu Hui found kissing him very distasteful.
Pain flashed in the eyes of the demon lord, for the very first time, the ruler of the demon realm felt what it meant to be rejected. With that thought came the realization of something greater, he had gotten himself tangled in an emotion that had brought many to their knees in despair. The demon lord could not deny that he had come to love a woman that he planned to just have fun with and part ways at the end.

Xu Hui slowly opened her eyes when she didn"t feel anything on her lips, she saw the eyes that looked at her as though he was in agony.
"Is there something that troubles you, Prince Rong?"
Rather than replying her, the demon lord smiled sadly at his unattainable love, although he wanted to find out what his feeling were towards the BaoXu sect disciple, he never thought they would lead down the path of love, probably affection, but surely not love.
"Let"s go, it"s time I take you back to where you rightful belong!"
Shaking his melancholy, the demon lord stood and reached to pull up Xu Hui to her feet. Not knowing what to make of the drastic change in the mood of the demon lord, Xu Hui watched as he took the things he brought with them, folding the dusty fabric and picking up basket that has leftover food in them. Together, the two walked back, one was blind folded, whose hand was held in those of the demon lord.
