TBOUMTBDK Chapter 11

Chapter 11: Not Lustful. The Demon Lord is said to be not lustful…

With so many people watching, Yun Xia loosened his hand, feeling awkward, and whispered to the Demon Lord, “Your Venerable, are you finished with your work? Or do you have something to go out for?”

Seeing him like this, the Demon Lord took him a few steps forward, lowering his voice to match his, but didn’t directly answer him: “What are you doing here?”

“I’m going to find the dog, that Wolf Demon. Your Venerable, is it at the Star Demon Pavilion?”

The Demon Lord hummed in acknowledgement: “You’re not afraid of dogs anymore?”

Yun Xia scratched his head embarrassedly: “Haha, actually, I’m still a little afraid, but I’m afraid of real dogs.”

Although he already has the power to protect himself even against a rabid dog, and can even easily subdue it, similar to how many of his female friends are afraid of insects, it’s a psychological fear.

“I heard… I heard my friend say that its injury requires it to stay in the Star Demon Pavilion for several days before it wakes up. I wanted to go see it, after all, it saved my life.”

“Friend?” the Demon Lord repeated.

“Yes, it’s him, I met him on the road, and I’m asking him to take me to find the dog.” Yun Xia suddenly remembered that he forgot to ask his new friend’s name and turned back to gesture.

The demon guard stood there, listening to them talking with his head lowered. Hearing this, his heart trembled, and he felt the Demon Lord’s gaze fall upon him, causing his body to instinctively tense up.

However, the Demon Lord only glanced at him and then shifted his gaze away.

“At most five days, and it will wake up,” the Demon Lord said casually.

“Five days, okay. By the way, Your Venerable, if it were you, how quickly could you wake it up?” He was suddenly very curious and wanted to look at the Demon Lord’s eyes again, but halfway there, he remembered that the Esteemed Lord was wearing a mask, so he hurriedly lowered his head again, staring at the Demon Lord’s chest.

Besides those flashy techniques, he valued healing techniques the most.

The Demon Lord tilted his head slightly, his eyes smiling beneath the black mask: “You want this Venerable to help?”

Yun Xia waved his hands repeatedly: “No, no, why use a butcher knife to kill a chicken? No need for Your Venerable to save a dog, I’m just purely curious. Well then, Your Venerable, if you have something to do, go ahead and do it, I won’t disturb you anymore?”

He belatedly realized that he had actually pulled the Demon Lord aside to say so much and hurriedly bid farewell to the Demon Lord.

The Demon Lord didn’t keep him, gave a hum, and let him go.

Yun Xia felt the gazes of the demon race members waiting not far away like thorns in his back. After receiving permission, he pulled the demon guard and ran.

The demon guard was pulled and stumbled. He ran a long distance before he recovered his senses. Was it really okay for them to run away like this…

Back at the original spot, the Demon Lord looked at Yun Xia’s monkey-like figure, a genuine smile that he himself didn’t even notice on his lips. However, it was only for an instant before he returned to his cold demeanor, continuing forward without looking back.

The group of people behind him hurriedly followed, each with their own thoughts: if they hadn’t heard and seen it with their own ears, it would have been hard to believe that the Esteemed Lord would have such ordinary and mundane conversations with someone.

Whether it was about dogs, friends, or chickens, none of those seemed like things the Esteemed Lord would pay attention to…

This conversation made the Demon Lord seem a little more real, as if he wasn’t such a lofty and mysterious tyrant anymore.

Yun Xia followed Wei Ying to the Star Demon Pavilion. Inside the Star Demon Pavilion, there were not only many healing formations, but also many rare treasures of heaven and earth, of course, not something that could be obtained casually.

Wei Ying—the name he just asked—led Yun Xia past the guards at the entrance and found the Wolf Demon healing in one of the formations.

In a formation emitting white light, the Wolf Demon was suspended in the air, constantly absorbing the white light emitted by the formation, repairing the injuries in its body bit by bit.

Yun Xia let out a long sigh and sat down next to the formation, propping his head up and looking at the small figure in mid-air.

“Rest and heal, I’ll come see you every day.”

The Wolf Demon didn’t move at all, and the black fur on its body became dull and gray, looking really like a dog.

Yun Xia thought for a while, then said: “Don’t worry, even if you always look like this, I’ll take care of you in your old age and see you off at the end.”

After saying that, he sat quietly, staring blankly at the Wolf Demon.

Wei Ying didn’t disturb him, but quietly stepped forward, standing behind Yun Xia, watching with him silently.

Yun Xia stayed in the Star Demon Pavilion for half an hour before leaving. Wei Ying had duties to attend to and couldn’t stay with him all the time.

“You live in the demon servant dormitory, right? I’ll take you back since I’m going that way,” Wei Ying said.

He was a little unaccustomed to it because Yun Xia had always talked a lot. From the moment they met until before entering the Star Demon Pavilion, he almost hadn’t stopped talking, but just now, he only said a few words and then just watched quietly.

“Okay, then thank you, brother. By the way, do you demon guards also live in that area?”

Seeing him return to his original self, Wei Ying nodded: “Yes, if you have anything, you can come directly to find me.”

Yun Xia happily agreed.

After they returned to the area with more people, the two parted ways.

Yun Xia walked very slowly, looking around.

He didn’t have the original owner’s memories, and didn’t know where he slept, but this wasn’t a difficult matter.

Sure enough, before long, someone recognized him.

“Yun Xia? Is that really you!”

A demon servant walked quickly to him, looking him up and down, with a hint of disbelief and envy in his eyes.

“I thought you were dead, how did you come back with the Esteemed Lord? What… what did you go do? This is the Esteemed Lord’s clothes? No, this set is obviously much smaller, did the Esteemed Lord give it to you?”

After discovering how familiar the set of clothes Yun Xia was wearing looked, he paused and then remembered, he had seen the Esteemed Lord wear it!

Yun Xia withdrew his gaze: “Sort of.”

The demon servant choked, not daring to directly ask about the Esteemed Lord’s affairs, so he inquired indirectly: “Then are you okay? You seemed to be unconscious for several days, were you sleeping in the Esteemed Lord’s palace?”

“Do I look like something’s wrong? Don’t worry, I’m perfectly fine.”

The demon servant didn’t find out anything and frowned.

The people around him also recognized Yun Xia. Some walked over directly, and some watched from afar, gathering together and talking in low voices.

“Isn’t this Yun Xia? Why, after not seeing him for so many days, did he bring us such a big surprise as soon as he came back? Should we call you ‘Master’ from now on?” someone said, half sarcastically and half enviously.

“I don’t think so. If the Esteemed Lord really valued him so much, why would he come back here alone? This is the residence of the lowest-ranking demon servants.”

“That makes sense, but it’s also possible that the Esteemed Lord forgot, after all, he’s just a small demon servant, hahaha.”

Those who were gathered around making sarcastic remarks were all demon servants who lived nearby, with statuses similar to Yun Xia’s, but those who were slightly higher-ranking watched from afar with solemn expressions, observing.

Yun Xia smiled at the people around him and said: “Aren’t you guys getting happy too early? What if I came back to pack my things and move directly into the Esteemed Lord’s palace?”

As soon as these words came out, everyone froze, looking at each other.

Yun Xia deliberately raised his right hand and raised his chin at the first demon servant who spoke to him, putting on an arrogant and haughty face: “You, lead the way.”

His posture was too natural and too confident, and everyone was fooled. The demon servant’s face changed again and again, but in the end, he still stepped forward, leading Yun Xia in a certain direction.

The others followed not far away, they still couldn’t quite believe it, move into the Esteemed Lord’s palace? What did that mean?

They couldn’t imagine it.

As far as they knew, the Esteemed Lord never had women, and even less so men. The Esteemed Lord didn’t have needs in that regard.

The demon race wasn’t like the immortal race, which cultivated purity and restraint. The demon race was about having desires and venting desires, having violence and releasing violence. Therefore, many of the demon race were addicted to lust, and many were addicted to violence, and even addicted to bloodshed, and so on.

When their Esteemed Lord led the demon generals to sweep across the demon realm, he left countless battlefields of blood, and even now there are still fervent worshippers who write petitions every year, hoping to attack the immortal realm and recreate the magnificent scene of blood filling the sky.

Now the Esteemed Lord hasn’t gone to war for many years, but that doesn’t mean he’s changed, instead, he’s shifted his methods to individual people.

But they had never heard of him having any fondness for women or men.

Could it be…

The demon servants looked at Yun Xia’s back. No matter how they looked at him, this kid didn’t seem like someone who was good at that sort of thing, his body was dry and flat, and other than his face, there was nothing to look at.

Yun Xia found his dormitory and nodded to the demon servant: “Thank you, I’ll be relying on everyone from now on. We’re all colleagues, let’s serve the Esteemed Lord well, and things will get better and better!”

After saying that, he slipped into the room.

The remaining group of people looked at each other.

“Were we tricked by him?”

“Damn it, Yun Xia, you come out here for me!”

Some people went to knock on Yun Xia’s door, while others said to their companions next to them: “Was Yun Xia like this before? Why don’t I have much of an impression of him?”

“Well, his personality has changed a lot, maybe he really experienced something. To be able to return intact from the Esteemed Lord’s presence, he’s definitely not an ordinary person.”

“These good-for-nothings can’t even see people clearly.”

…

Yun Xia familiarized himself with his room. This was a double room, and the other person hadn’t returned yet.

He had slept for several days and wasn’t sleepy at all. After relaxing, his stomach started protesting again.

“…”

This time, he should be able to eat something, right!

He jumped up and left the room, twisting and turning around for a long time before finding the cafeteria, and then pointing at the dark, strange-shaped balls of food, he said to the cook: “Can this stuff be eaten? Do you demons eat this?”

The cook didn’t even raise his head: “Eat it if you want, get lost if you don’t.”

“…”

“Why is Master Yun Xia here?”

Someone called out to him.

Yun Xia looked over and saw a demon servant with a slender figure and very good looks.

“You are?”

“You might have forgotten me, my name is An He, we did shifts together a few months ago, but later I was transferred to the Council Hall, so I didn’t have many chances to talk to you.” He smiled very friendly.

Promoted, Yun Xia sighed, he’s really good at talking.

“Haha, hello, hello, no need to call me ‘Master’, I’m not any master, just Yun Xia is fine.”

An He smiled and nodded: “In that case, Yun Xia, do you want something to eat?”

“Yeah, but I see there’s not a single person here, it seems like everyone doesn’t eat here much.”

An He: “That’s right, mainly only those who don’t care at all come here to eat. Eating here occasionally is okay. Of course, those adults who like food are another matter.”

There are those who are addicted to lust, so naturally there are demon races who are addicted to gluttony.

“It seems everyone has other channels.” Yun Xia looked at An He with bright eyes, almost saying directly “Quickly take me, take me” in his expression.

An He was stunned for a moment, then his smile deepened: “Yun Xia is right, but we can’t enter and exit the Demon Palace at will, we can only wait for a specialist to go out to purchase things and bring them back together. I have some food there, why don’t you come with me to get it?”

Yun Xia nodded repeatedly.

Then, the two went to another, better dormitory area together, and An He took out some candy and biscuits from his dormitory. Although they weren’t very delicious, they weren’t bad either, and Yun Xia ate them happily.

When he returned to his dormitory, his roommate hadn’t come back even until night.

While Yun Xia was sitting with his legs crossed and his eyes closed, thinking about things, the door was knocked. He opened it and saw a person wearing an attendaant uniform, behind him was An He, whom he had just met not long ago.

Yun Xia: “What’s the matter?”

“Haha, what are you saying? Everything we do is related to the Esteemed Lord. Yun Xia, you don’t need to go to the original place anymore, go to the Myriad Demon Hall, perform well, and by no means displease the Esteemed Lord. Whatever the Esteemed Lord tells you to do, you do it, and whatever he does to you, you endure it, understand?”

The Myriad Demon Hall was the Council Hall.

Ah, I’ve been promoted too.

“Okay, Attendant, when do I start working? That is, go on duty?”

Attendant: “Naturally it’s now, someone will come to replace you tomorrow, there are two shifts a day in total. An He has been in the Myriad Demon Hall for a long time, with him leading you, I can rest assured.”

Twelve hours of work, uh, now?

Yun Xia looked at the sky, stunned: “Go to the Myriad Demon Hall at night? There’s no one there at night, right?”

The attendant’s mouth twitched, but he still said with a very patient smile: “That’s right, even if the adults aren’t in the council, there must be demon servants standing guard to serve them.”

… Okay, so he was not enlightened enough.
