The carriage curtain was opened once again and the Demon King of Eternal Night appeared inside. “Let’s go.”

His hands were stretched out as though he was about to hug Bai Yang.

Bai Yang quickly said, “I’ll get up.”

“Don’t move.” The Demon King picked him up easily, his deep voice resonating from above Bai Yang. “Don’t be stubborn in this situation. Rest assured, the people outside can’t see anything.”

Bai Yang’s whole body felt weak, so he couldn’t help but let the Demon King pick him up. He felt his body become enshrouded in the Demon King’s magic, it’s flame-like appearance blocking him from sight.

They were outside the carriage as soon as Bai Yang was in the Demon King’s arms.

The scenery around them flew behind them. Wind should have been blowing, but because of the Demon King’s magic enshroudment, Bai Yang wasn’t exposed to it at all. It was a very fantastical feeling. It was smooth and comfortable, like riding in a plane.

The Demon King was willing to give up on greeting the FireThorn City envoys, showing that he valued Bai Yang. Bai Yang’s fury dissipated a lot.

Bai Yang spent a day and night traveling from the Palace of Eternal Darkness to the Western Demon Lord’s territory. The Almighty Demon King only took half a day to travel such a long distance.

Once they arrived at the Palace of Eternal Darkness, the Demon King carried Bai Yang directly to the Spirit Spring and gently set him down. He then moved to undress Bai Yang.

I had to accept being carried by the Demon King, but I can’t accept allowing the Demon King to undress me. If I let this continue, I’ll have no male dignity left.

“Your Highness, I’ll do it myself.” Bai Yang stopped the Demon King.

The Demon King’s hands stopped. His dark eyes stared at Bai Yang, but he didn’t move.

It was fine as long as he stopped undressing him.

Bai Yang secretly released a sigh of relief. The Demon King had finally returned to his normal cold and haughty temperament that always made people uncomfortable.

But no matter how long he waited, the Demon King made no motion to leave.

How was he supposed to strip if the Demon King wouldn’t leave?

“Your Highness?” Bai Yang reminded, “You aren’t leaving?”

“Why should I leave? I have to help heal you.” The Demon King’s voice was gentle, completely different from his former coldness.

Ah?

“Undress quickly.” he continued.

Bai Yang: “&#k2026;”

I’m not used to undressing in front of someone else.

As if he realized something, the Demon King revealed an expression that looked both like and unlike a smile. “It can’t be that you’re shy?”

The strange thing was, even that hateful smile was still dazzling to the eye.

“Of course not.” Bai Yang denied instantly.

“Then hurry up and strip. What are you stalling for?”

Bai Yang: “…”

Bai Yang thought, The Demon King doesn’t like me, and I don’t like men. Between two men, what’s the point in being shy?

So, he relaxed his guard and reached to untie his belt.

The Demon King stared at him, his eyes becoming intense.

Bai Yang took off his coat and inner robe, revealing his smooth upper body.

As one of the most prominent villains in the novel, Xie Ze Tian had a type of devilish charm. Naturally, his figure was also pretty good.

His exposed upper body had lithe muscles and smooth skin. It looked quite impressive.

The Demon King’s gaze were focused on his skin and a red light flashed from the depth of his pupil.

Bai Yang felt a little uncomfortable under that intense gaze, so he took off his pants more slowly.

“Why did you stop?” The Demon King’s voice remained steady and gentle.

Bai Yang thought in his heart, Aren’t you embarrassed watching a man strip? Don’t you want to look away, Almighty Demon King?

The Demon King lightly chuckled, “You’ve changed quite a bit.”

Bai Yang was taken aback from his comment. He was completely shocked.

“Back when you offended me on the mountain, I thought you seemed a little different. Seeing you now, it seems that my temper has gotten better and I’m more lenient to you.”

Uh?

Really?

Bai Yang forced himself to stay calm, “What’s the difference?”

The Demon King of Eternal Night tilted his head as though he was inspecting Bai Yang. After a moment of thought, he said, “It’s hard to say what’s different. I just have a feeling.”

Bai Yang secretly asked Xiao Ling in his brain, “What should I do, Xiao Ling? Did he find out about something? I haven’t done anything out of character.”

After thinking about it, he added, “At least I haven’t done anything majorly out of character. I’ve only met him a few times, how does he know I’m different?”

Xiao Ling was also confused, “I don’t know how he could feel that you’re different.”

“The System won’t judge me as a bug, right?”

“The System has been unresponsive so far, so it probably won’t.”

Bai Yang was uneasy, but the Demon King continued to speak, “Xie Ze Tian, after these past few days, I think you’re pretty good.”

Bai Yang was still discussing with Xiao Ling. “Do you think I’ve been be exposed?”

Xiao Ling said, “I don’t know, but in my opinion, the Demon King would only think that you seem different. He has no proof that you’re a different person.”

Bai Yang didn’t feel assured, but it wasn’t like he could do anything but continue to listen the Demon King.

The Demon King didn’t notice the turbulence in Bai Yang’s heart, and continued, “I thought for a long time about why you seem different, and I’ve come to the conclusion that it’s because you can no longer hold back your feelings for me.”

The uneasy Xiao Ling and Bai Yang in his mind both became silent.

Bai Yang: “…”

Xiao Ling: “…”

Bai Yang: “Xiao Ling, do you feel like the Demon King is a little…”

Xiao Ling thought for a moment, before solemnly saying, “From his point of view, Xie Ze Tian is loyal. He woke up the Demon King when his qi deviated, and was seriously injured when he went to steal the Blue Jade Pearl for him. As soon as Xie Ze Tian heard about the battle with the Western Demon Lord, he rushed over and stood guard by the Demon King’s side… If this isn’t love, then what is?”

“Can’t he just consider that I’m very, very, very sincere? You see, in reality, there are many brothers who are really close…”

Before he could finish, Xiao Ling cut him off, “Brotherhood? Ha, nine out of ten times, they’re gay.”

Bai Yang struggled, “In ancient times, there were loyal subjects who would dare to do everything. Yet, I’ve never seen emperors think they were in love with him. What is the Demon King thinking? Why do I have to love him?”

“That’s because you started by touching his butt, and then last time at the hot spring, you caressed his face. You sexually harassed him twice, yet now you’re pretending that it didn’t happen? In ancient times, there were loyal subjects who were born and died for their emperor, but have you seen any one of them touch the emperor’s ass?”

Bai Yang: “…”

Bai Yang: “Isn’t it because of that shitty Daily Task? I was forced…”

“I know, but the Demon King doesn’t! From his point of view, you couldn’t help but to get close to him because you wanted to date him.”

Bai Yang’s head hurt. “Now his misunderstanding is getting worse and worse. What should I do?”

“What should you do?” Xiao Ling said, “Sir, what are you worried about? It doesn’t affect your mission, anyway. If he misunderstands, just let him.”

Bai Yang: “…”

Fuck!

“Xie Ze Tian!” A cool hand was placed onto Bai Yang’s cheek. The sudden contact was almost like an electric shock to Bai Yang, causing his body to faintly quiver.

“Your Highness?”

Why are you touching my face?

Bai Yang was a little confused, but even more worried. He felt that things might be proceeding in a bad direction.
