Zhong Shou scratched his head and honestly said, “ You guys all want to go? If that’s the case, then I won’t continue competing.”
The other three people all indicated that they were willing to go.
The Demon King Of Eternal Night, who was only quietly listening until now, said, “This matter shall be later discussed, you’re all dismissed.”
Since the Demon King of Eternal Night had said so, then naturally the others didn’t dare to disagree, and they all stood up to walk out.
Bai Yang also moved to walk out, but a soft voice stopped him before he barely even took two steps, “Xie Ze Tian, you stay behind.”
Bai Yang stopped and turned around, “Your Highness….”
The other four people had already left the main hall, so the large palace was occupied only by the Demon King of Eternal Night and Bai Yang.
“Your Highness……” Bai Yang stood respectfully below the throne with a slight bow and looked very attentive.
“Do you know why I told you to stay behind?” The person on the throne asked.
“Your subordinate does not.” In his heart, he thought that perhaps the Demon King wanted to give him a task to complete?
Bai Yang felt extremely happy about this kind of task since he needed to find the Male Lead, who resided in the Human Realm. He was in the Demon Realm, so he needed to cross the barrier. However, crossing the barrier was very troublesome and would alarm the Demon King. Now, he had the possibility of being able to cross into the Human Realm with a legitimate excuse, so he’ll have to work hard to grab it.
The Demon King slowly walked down from the throne step-by-step until he was in front of Bai Yang. He was naturally handsome; his brows were neat, his eyes were clear, his robes were gorgeous, and his walk was so dazzling that it was like he had stepped out of a painting.
The Demon King of Eternal Night Ji Zi Xuan: his birth and age irrelevant, he’s beautiful, and his only purpose is to invade the Human World; that’s his character setting in Wild Wind. It seems that every fantasy novel has an ambitious character. They don’t need any reason or logic, they only need the ambition to take over the world and would eventually be defeated by the Male Lead. This character archetype wasn’t exactly pleasing, so their death and failure always made everyone very happy.
When Bai Yang was watching this on TV, he also thought like this and felt it was only natural. However, with the real Ji Zi Xuan in front of him, he felt a bit more complicated. After all, the TV series was played by actors, and the narrative followed the perspective of the Male Lead, so everyone would experience the Male Lead’s emotions and would despise the villain to the bone. But, now that Bai Yang has become Xie Ze Tian, the Demon King of Eternal Night’s obedient dog, and he has experienced a different att.i.tude from the the Demon King of Eternal Night, he really felt an emotion quite hard to describe. The situation felt strange, but he couldn’t quite figure out why.
The Demon King came in front of him and quietly observed him for a moment before whispering, “As my capable subordinate, you’ve disappointed me.”
Bai Yang blinked, not understanding.
When this child’s mind is blank, his expression would look extremely lost and give off a particularly innocent aura.
The Demon King looked at him and then unexpectedly explained, “Recently there have been many people who have reported to me that your lifestyle is far too unruly, with you even stealing other people’s women.”
Ah?
“Did that happen?” Bai Yan’s expression looked confused as he subconsciously asked this.
The Demon King slightly furrowed his brows, a look of impatience flashed in his eyes, and his voice turned cold, “In the past, I didn’t care about what you did in private, but in the future, we’ll have to unite the two worlds. So it’s best if you get your act together and act like an example for the rest of the world. Others have told me before that your att.i.tude wasn’t on point, but I didn’t believe them at the time. However, now you even dare to provoke me. You don’t know your place and grow even more out of control.”
Bai Yang: “……”
It turns out the Demon King is still troubled by the b.u.t.t groping matter.
The Demon King continued, “Having s.e.xual desire is good, but don’t let beauty distract you from important plans.”
So, the Demon King’s trying to escape?
Bai Yang, who had just gotten lectured, immediately fell to the ground on one knee, “I will obey your Highness’s teachings. I will definitely change my ways and won’t ever commit the same crime again.”
Doing it once and he already can’t take it; there definitely won’t be a second time.
The Demon King seemed to be quite satisfied.
At this time, Xiao Ling reminded him, “ Sir, it’d be better if you ask the Demon King to let you go to the human world. That way, you’ll be able to meet the Male Lead.”
Bai Yang’s heart thumped like war drums, “I understand, but….”
“But what?”
“But I’m a little scared.” Facing the serious and strict Demon King was just like facing his scariest former instructor. He simply wasn’t able to ask for anything.
Xiao Ling, “Don’t be scared sir, just think of the task.”
Right, the task has to be done. What’s there to be afraid of? The so-called Demon King in front of him is just an NPC. What’s there to be afraid of in an NPC? While gaming, he doesn’t even remember how many NPCs he’s oppressed before. It’s only that this NPC is a bit more handsome, more domineering, can move, and can talk, but….
“If I go to the Human Realm, I’ll have to accept a task with killing involved. I’ve never killed a person before.” Bai Yang said in his mind. If he isn’t able to kill the son of the Seven Stars, how will he explain it to the Demon King? And in the novel, Xie Ze Tian killed a lot of people. They could all be potential targets.
Xiao Ling, “Sir, we’re in virtual reality. These people are all fake. Even if you do kill someone, you’ll just be killing a set of data. There’s nothing to be afraid of.”
That’s right, and Bai Yang can understand it, but it’s hard for him to accept.
Xiao Ling continued to say, “Sir, if you don’t complete the task, you won’t be able to return to the real world.”
Bai Yang felt his head hurt.
“…… Xie Ze Tian?”
The loud voice scared Bai Yang scared half to death, “Your Highness?”
The face of the man in front of him was cold, and his eyes were filled with a cool chill.
“Did you hear what I just said?”
Bai Yan, “……”
If I said I didn’t hear, would you kill me?
The Demon King bent down and grabbed Bai Yang’s chin, forcing him to raise his head slightly upwards, “Your courage is growing larger and larger. You actually dared to s.p.a.ce out in my presence.”
Bai Yang was dripping in cold sweat. The human potential is truly endless, and at this time Bai Yang, who was afraid of getting punished, hurriedly said, “Your Highness, I……. I feel uncomfortable.”
“Oh,” The Demon King c.o.c.ked a fine eyebrow, “And where do you feel uncomfortable?”
“My b.u.t.t is uncomfortable…….” Bai Yang said, “Your Highness, can you let me put on my pants first.”
Probably not expecting Bai Yang to say this, the Demon King paused, “Your b.u.t.t is uncomfortable?”
“Yes…….”
“Why is it uncomfortable?”
Bai Yang, “……..”
Why are you always eagerly asking such awkward questions?
Bai Yang complained in his heart, but he still decided to answer honestly, “When I was riding on the wolf’s back, the fur was too rough, so my b.u.t.t got chafed.”
The Demon King of Eternal Night: “……”
His hand twitched, the corner of his lips slightly rose, and he helplessly shook his head, “You, oh you…….”
He carefully observed Bai Yang again and seemed to have some doubts, “Clearly you look the same, but why does it feel like you’ve become much more pleasing to the eye? It can’t be that you’re a fake, right?”
Xiao Ling and Bai Yang gasped in their hearts. This Demon King is too keen!
“Your Highness?” Bai Yang pretended to be confused.
The Demon King of Eternal Night changed the topic, “I want to give you a task today. How do you feel about that?”
You want to give me a task to do?
Bai Yang paused for a moment, and then he replied without hesitation, “I will complete the task even if I have to die!”
It’s only killing people, and besides, he’ll only be killing data. If the task isn’t finished, then he’ll be the one who’s finished.
Why be so conflicted about the task, just do it!
The Demon King revealed a smile. After a moment he said, “You can go now.”
After hearing his words, Bai Yang sighed in relief and promptly left the palace to find a spare pair of pants in his room.
The moment he put on his pants, he felt safe. He didn’t want to stay in the Palace of Darkness anymore with the bipolar Demon King. It’d be a disaster if the Demon King decided to tease him again. He didn’t want to deal with people like the Demon King, so once he had pants on, he left the Palace of Darkness.
It didn’t take very long to travel from the Palace of Darkness to his own mansion. His mansion was built quite magnificently. In the Demon Realm, resources were scarce, so most people suffered and fought in order to survive. Thus, not many people wasted silver and gold on their residence. Bai Yang entered through the door, walking through the front yard and into the back yard, before getting fascinated by the flower-like servants in the back.
Whether they were tall, short, fat, thin, male, female, young, or old, they were all beautiful and extremely eye-catching. These people only wore extremely thin and translucent long strips of cloth. With little difficulty, one could tell that none of them were wearing any underwear.
They weren’t wearing any underwear!
