TBOUMTBDK Chapter 2

Chapter 2: Save Me “You aren’t afraid of me, Esteemed Lord, but you’re afraid of it?”…

Yun Xia was a little worried, his small face wrinkled into a ball.

Could it be because he hasn’t completely merged with this body yet?

So, while continuing to walk, he tried various methods to “stimulate” the spirit qi in his body that had temporarily transformed into Demon Chi.

He even did a set of Taiji Quan.

Completely unaware that not far away, a slender figure was watching him.

The Devil Markings on the Demon Lord’s profile had receded for the most part, with only two or three coiled around his neck, disappearing into his collar. Not a single trace was left on his cheek, as if the hideous scar had never existed.

He half-opened his eyes, the elongated corners casting a faint shadow. The contemplation on his face diluted his cold expression.

It had been a long time since he had been interested in anyone. If his confidants were present, they would definitely be surprised.

The Demon Lord watched the little bug, clearly carrying secrets, muttering strangely, sometimes waving at the air, sometimes rushing to a bamboo tree and slapping it with great seriousness.

Nothing happened.

He froze in this posture for a while, then pressed both hands on it, using force to bend the thick bamboo tree a little.

Demon Lord: “?”

Then Yun Xia let go and started circling the bamboo tree, making strange poses as he turned.

Like a little grasshopper hopping around a tree.

The Demon Lord tilted his face, not understanding Yun Xia’s behavior, his handsome eyebrows slightly knitted.

What exactly did he want to do to this bamboo tree?

Even the Demon Lord, who had experienced many things, couldn’t understand it for a moment.

He rarely frowned and recalled, digging out a few fragments from the depths of his memory—when the people in the human realm performed rituals, they seemed to gesticulate like this, making nonsensical movements.

The demons who could enter Holy City and serve by his side were all carefully selected. Was this a demon performing a ritual?

Or was this some kind of summoning ritual? Maybe he wanted to tear the Prohibition Art of the little world and leave.

He glanced at the bamboo tree that was being tossed around, its leaves fluttering wildly, flicked his long sleeves, and disappeared into the mist.

Yun Xia gave up, attributing it to the fact that he hadn’t integrated into this body yet, and absolutely refusing to admit it was a problem with his own talent.

Talent, talent, you have to be able to touch the edge before you can know if you have it.

He retracted his hand and looked around furtively. Fortunately, no one saw him, otherwise, being discovered that he couldn’t even use spells, not to mention exposing his identity, he would likely be regarded as an idiot.

But he still felt inexplicably embarrassed and hurried away from this place.

Not long after, he got lost…

This bamboo forest looked almost the same everywhere. Because there was white mist everywhere, the naked eye couldn’t see very far at all, and at this time, he couldn’t even tell the cardinal directions.

Yun Xia: “…”

Could this be some kind of bewildering formation?

If he could fly, and see far from a high vantage point, he wouldn’t be unable to get out, but he had a body with a Cultivation Base, but he didn’t know how to use it.

He wandered around the bamboo forest for a long time, exhausted, but couldn’t find the house where the Demon Lord was.

Damn it! He must learn how to Flight (lit. Controlling the Void)!

“Woo—roar—”

Suddenly, a beast’s roar ran through the bamboo forest, like a stone thrown into the quiet and eerie atmosphere. The originally regularly drifting mist was pushed away invisibly, drifting far away.

Yun Xia froze in place.

Hellbeast!

My god, there are hellbeasts here? He is just an ordinary person who can’t protect himself now!

Yun Xia turned and ran.

The huge bamboo forest became a huge maze. Yun Xia was so frightened by the beast’s roar, which was sometimes near and sometimes far, that he kept changing his direction. He had long since lost his way and could only run wildly.

He seriously suspected that the hellbeast was deliberately teasing him, and it didn’t show up for a long time, but he could always hear the sound, which didn’t it mean that the hellbeast was many times more powerful than him?

His brain had already consciously imagined scenes of himself being slapped to death and bitten to death by the hellbeast. The more he couldn’t see the other party’s figure, the more afraid he became. He couldn’t care so much about being chased, and shouted as he ran, “Esteemed Lord! Esteemed Lord, save me! Save me, Esteemed Lord!!!”

As soon as these words were shouted, the entire forest seemed to be quiet for a moment.

At this moment, a figure appeared in front of him.

The Demon Lord!!

Yun Xia’s eyes burst out with intense light. He raised his hands high, and a very surprised expression bloomed on his face, “Esteemed Lord!!!”

He really wanted to rush over and hug the other party, but the little bit of reason he had left barely allowed him to drop this idea and instead use his knees to brake on the ground.

Due to inertia, he slid for several meters before stopping in front of the Demon Lord. He retracted his hands and obediently propped them on his knees, looking up at the Demon Lord with a silly smile, “Esteemed Lord, you’re here.”

Faced with this scene, the corners of the Demon Lord’s mouth twitched slightly, “What kind of drama are you playing?”

Yun Xia stared at his face, his eyeballs turning halfway, “A good drama is one that can make you happy!”

The beautiful man raised his long eyebrows, “Make me happy?”

Yun Xia nodded flatteringly and said, “That hellbeast is driven by you. I can’t attack your hellbeast, so I can only run. Esteemed Lord, did you just smile?” This was what he discovered in a flash of inspiration. If it wasn’t the Demon Lord, that hellbeast with not much brains wouldn’t tease him like this.

Smile?

The demon in front of the Demon Lord was ordinary from top to bottom, kneeling in front of him, looking up at him from below, his eyes wide open, like two bright and transparent black jade stones, able to reflect all thoughts.

Like he was really trying to amuse him wholeheartedly.

“You want me to smile?” The Demon Lord looked at him expressionlessly.

“Of course, it doesn’t necessarily have to be a smile on your face, a smile in your heart is also okay,” Yun Xia said.

“You should know that I can also kill you while smiling.”

A faint killing intent enveloped him.

To a certain extent, Devil Markings could represent the Demon Lord’s mood. Yun Xia’s gaze retracted from his Devil Markings. The Devil Markings hadn’t changed, and his heart settled down a lot.

It meant there was killing intent, but no intention to kill.

“You are the Venerable of our demon race, Esteemed Lord, you can do whatever you want.”

A little further away was the rustling sound of wind blowing leaves, but nearby, you could hear a pin drop.

Yun Xia maintained his obedient kneeling posture, but in reality, cold sweat slowly slid down from the back of his head.

He couldn’t guarantee that the Demon Lord wouldn’t attack in the next second.

After an eerie silence, the Demon Lord chuckled and said in a low voice, “Full of lies.”

He finally showed a smile, although only for a short moment, it was captured by Yun Xia, who had been watching him.

Such a powerful beauty was indeed breathtaking and heart-stirring.

Yun Xia lowered his head and secretly let out a sigh of relief, thinking: He knows I’m talking nonsense, but he didn’t kill me. He’s indeed an elusive person. I can be considered to have bet right.

His guess was correct. The Demon Lord had too much prestige, and no one dared to talk nonsense in front of him anymore. This could be seen from the fact that no one dared to spread rumors about the Demon Lord’s beauty.

Yun Xia taking this path was quite fresh for the Demon Lord. The Demon Lord didn’t dislike noisy and bold people, of course, they had to have the guts to show off in front of the Demon Lord.

While he was thinking, the sound of footsteps gradually moved away, and Yun Xia quickly got up and followed.

This time, they didn’t need to walk much before they left the bamboo forest.

It really was a bewitching formation.

“Esteemed Lord, is there anything to eat here?” He had run for so long and walked for so long, and his spirit had been tense all the time. Now that he relaxed, his stomach was empty.

The Demon Lord turned his head, “Give an inch, take a mile?”

Yun Xia immediately acted cute, “Esteemed Lord, I was wrong, I would rather gnaw on bamboo than disturb you again!”

The Demon Lord’s expression was indifferent. He suddenly swept him up and down with an ambiguous look.

Yun Xia was a little flustered by these few glances, and tried his best to put on an innocent look, “Do you have any instructions?”

His hair stood on end, and he was even more vigilant than before.

Beauty, your eyes are so scary, it’s like you’re trying to figure out how to cut me open!

The Devil Markings didn’t move, but the killing intent was very real.

“Well,” the Demon Lord’s lips curled up, giving people the illusion that he was discussing with you properly if you ignored his words, “Yes, during these days that I am healing, I can promise not to harm your life. When we leave this place, we can discuss it together and see if we should take you away as well, how about it?”

This wasn’t him being kind-hearted, and it was even more impossible for him to discuss it with him. He was planning to find some fun during the healing process.

Yun Xia believed that he could fool around freely during this time, and the Demon Lord wouldn’t kill him, but whether he would be played to death in the end or thrown to the hellbeast as food would depend on the Demon Lord’s thought.

The so-called take away wasn’t just a literal meaning.

A moment of life and death.

With the Demon Lord’s temperament, Yun Xia suspected that even if he hid far away during these days and didn’t even see his face once, the Demon Lord would eventually “play him to death” because he couldn’t find any fun.

“Okay, Esteemed Lord, when it’s time to leave, I will definitely beg you to take me out.” He pretended he didn’t understand and smiled very brightly at the Demon Lord.

In fact, he understood everything clearly.

The Demon Lord looked at his ignorant appearance and was very much looking forward to the days to come.

–

The Demon Lord returned to his main hall, while Yun Xia searched every corner of the other halls, but couldn’t find anything to eat.

That was right, only the Demon Lord could enter the Forbidden Little World. With the Demon Lord’s Cultivation Base, he didn’t need to eat at all.

Yun Xia knew that it was okay to be hungry for a few days, he wouldn’t die, it was just a psychological habit, he just wanted to eat.

By the time it was night, he no longer felt hungry and found a room to sleep and rest.

The first day passed safely, his identity wasn’t exposed, but he had definitely aroused suspicion. Now that the Demon Lord wasn’t actively exposing him, he was probably trying to find out the person behind him.

In recent years, the internal demon realm seemed peaceful, but some demons had developed other thoughts. It wasn’t obvious on the surface, but there was more than one who colluded with the gradually rising Male Lead.

The Demon Lord had dealt with several betrayals from the demon race, but they were all small fries.

This time, he was injured, which was caused by an ambush and sneak attack by several demon generals. As for how the sneak attack happened, Yun Xia didn’t know. It wasn’t written in the book.

He remembered the Demon Lord’s pale face during the day.

The confidants he had brought up hundreds of years ago left him and betrayed him one by one, and would eventually face the Male Lead. The ending of the Demon Lord in the book wasn’t described in detail, but the Demon Lord at that time was much more crazy than he was now. The demon realm wasn’t destroyed by the Male Lead, but by himself.

Tsk tsk, what a crazy beauty, he likes it so much!

“My Three Views follow my five senses, haha, I’m happy.” Yun Xia cursed himself and praised himself at the same time, completely free-spirited.

He still had to deal with the Demon Lord tomorrow, so he had to get a good night’s sleep, wake up and see how to win the Demon Lord’s favor.

In the middle of the night, when he was half-asleep, Yun Xia suddenly felt something poking his leg.

Yun Xia had very bad morning grogginess and hated being woken up. Without thinking, he raised his foot and kicked it.

He kicked something with hard fur that pricked his foot.

Fur?

Yun Xia woke up immediately and saw a hellbeast standing on four legs that could reach his neck, looking at him fiercely, the shadow it cast could envelop him completely.

This hellbeast resembled a wolf, a dog, and a lion, but it was stronger. Its fur was short and thick, its beast eyes were full of wildness, and its sharp fangs protruded from its snout. It could bite off a human’s head in one bite.

Seeing such a Wolf Demon up close, Yun Xia’s pores instantly exploded. He jumped up and slid off the bed with unprecedented speed, sticking to the wall, clinging to the wall with his limbs, and clenching his teeth to make a creaking sound.

“You you you, I didn’t give you a big slap, no, it wasn’t me, it was me in my dream. I’m telling you, I’m the Demon Lord’s man, you’re dead if you dare to touch me!” Yun Xia was so frightened that he couldn’t speak clearly. He tried his best to stick back, wishing he could pass through the wall.

This series of actions stunned the hellbeast. It had probably never seen such a cowardly and frightened demon.

It took a step forward triumphantly, baring its fangs to scare the demon.

Behind him was the wall, and in front of him was a huge wolf-shaped hellbeast. The low roar of the beast was getting closer and closer. Yun Xia had nowhere to hide. The string in his brain was stretched to the limit, almost exploding.

It could be said that fear to the extreme was anger. He shouted and suddenly pounced forward, using the force of his body to slam his fist hard on the hellbeast’s nose. Then, he rolled over from under it and rushed out headlong.

The hellbeast didn’t expect that the person who was so afraid of it in the previous moment would dare to attack it in the next moment. It thought it would be in terrible pain, but it was stunned when it opened its mouth to roar in pain.

Huh? This doesn’t hurt at all.

That brat!

The hellbeast was even more angry. This so weak demon dared to hit it. It simply didn’t take it seriously at all!

It howled to the sky and chased after him.

Yun Xia hadn’t had the experience of being chased like this for a long time. His mind was blank, and he only knew to go to the Demon Lord’s main hall, as if death was chasing behind him.

He rushed into the main hall, rushed onto the Demon Lord’s bed, and curled up behind the Demon Lord, trembling.

The Demon Lord wasn’t lying on the bed, but sitting, his long hair scattered, wearing only a single layer of clothing. From the time Yun Xia came in, to the time he pounced on his bed and hid behind him, messing up his hair and clothes, he didn’t have a big reaction.

His narrow eyes were lightly closed, and his long eyelashes didn’t tremble.

Until the hellbeast followed and ran in.

The hellbeast’s anger was extinguished the moment it saw the Demon Lord’s figure and disappeared without a trace. All the hair on its body stood on end. If Yun Xia had fur on his body before, he would probably look like it now.

It froze in place, not daring to come in and not daring to go out. If you looked closely, you could find that its thick legs were trembling slightly.

The Demon Lord slowly opened his eyes, not even looking at it, and turned to look at the person who was tightly grabbing his clothes.

Yun Xia lowered his head slightly, clinging to his side, his face no longer had a bright smile, like a poor little parrot seeking shelter from him, its wings broken.

The Demon Lord stretched out his slender, jade-like fingers, raised Yun Xia’s chin, gently wiped away his tears, and whispered intimately, “You aren’t afraid of me, Esteemed Lord, but you’re afraid of it?”
