TBOUMTBDK Chapter 15

Chapter 15: Coaxing Someone – Tears Flowed from the Corner of His Mouth

In the end, Yun Xia strutted out with Grey Eyes. Of course, he didn’t dare be so arrogant in the Ten Thousand Demon Hall. Once outside, he directly rode on Grey Eyes, letting it carry him.

His weight was nothing to Grey Eyes, but it was annoyed by Yun Xia’s smug attitude.

“Relax, I’m just going back with you to see what kind of doghouse your master lives in. I don’t mean your master is a dog, okay? Then you’ll know how good I am, managing to get you a place in the Ten Thousand Demon Hall. Esteemed Lord is amazing, even an deliberation hall can become your kennel. Hahaha, luckily Esteemed Lord is dominant, and there are no officials in the Demon Palace to remonstrate.”

Grey Eyes flicked its tail, hitting Yun Xia’s back to tell him not to talk nonsense.

The news of Grey Eyes becoming his demon beast spread quickly. The demon guards on the road didn’t come forward to say anything, while the demon servants looked at them entering the living quarters in surprise.

Yun Xia grandly directed Grey Eyes, and many people came up to chat. The sarcastic voices of the first day were nowhere to be heard.

He didn’t care, very generously chatting with people as he walked.

At this time, someone pushed through the crowd and came up, smiling at Yun Xia and saying, “Yun Xia, the chief steward asked me to find you. It’s time for you to move.”

Yun Xia saw it was An He: “Move?”

“Yes, you should have moved a long time ago. The place you were living in was for lower-level demon servants, but you’ve been transferred to the Ten Thousand Demon Hall, so naturally you can’t stay there anymore. I’m here to take you over.”

Yun Xia patted Grey Eyes’ head: “Perfect, we have a car to haul everything over.”

Grey Eyes: “…”

It was too tired to complain.

Yun Xia returned to his residence and quickly packed his things. He didn’t have much, only two bags, which fit perfectly on Grey Eyes’ back.

On the way, Yun Xia asked, “Where am I living? Do I have a roommate?”

An He: “Yes, me.”

Yun Xia turned his head: “What a coincidence? Your roommate just happens to be moving?”

“Not a coincidence, I arranged it deliberately.”

“Uh… then what about your original roommate?”

“He went to live somewhere else, don’t worry, he was willing.”

The more friendly and kind An He smiled, the more Yun Xia felt that this person wasn’t as simple as he seemed. It was true that he was deliberately trying to please Yun Xia, but it didn’t feel inappropriate. He was quite tactful and really took care of Yun Xia, leaving Yun Xia with nothing to say.

Oh well, they were going to be on duty together anyway, so living together was fine.

The new dormitory was much bigger than the old one and also very clean and tidy. Although the two shared a room, there was a small hall in between, with curtains hanging on either side of the hall for privacy.

After settling in the new dormitory, Yun Xia declined An He’s invitation and dragged Grey Eyes to the neighboring demon guard barracks to find Wei Ying to play with.

–

A few days later, Yun Xia heard rumors that, taking advantage of the Three Kings incident, the Holy City outside the Demon Palace launched a city-wide search and caught several small ringleaders with ulterior motives.

These people each led a group of people, planning to take advantage of the Esteemed Lord’s troubles to stir up trouble, and were somewhat involved with the Three Kings.

The one in charge of this matter was Demon General Xiu Wu, the trusted general who was punished by the Esteemed Lord to ten days in the Ghostly Nether Formation for dereliction of duty.

Those people were brought to the front of the Demon Palace and publicly executed, and the entire city heard their wails for half a day.

Yun Xia didn’t go to watch the excitement because the Esteemed Lord was in a bad mood at the time.

The night before, the Demon Lord received a message. After reading it, he sneered, and a cold aura flowed through his red eyes, making people fearful: “The investigation into the Three Kings’ matter is almost complete. Besides the Three Kings, there are several people in high positions, people whom I entrusted with important tasks, who have betrayed me just like them.”

The water droplets gathered between Yun Xia’s hands scattered all over the ground with a splash.

Yun Xia carefully said, “Esteemed Lord, you can have them brought over, and you can deal with them personally?”

The beauty narrowed his eyes and chuckled a few times, his black hair swaying with his trembling body as he laughed. The Devil Markings slowly climbed up from the side of his face, almost connecting to the corner of his eye, complementing his crimson eyes.

His laughter was intoxicating, but also led people into hell:

“Little Yun Xia knows my heart best. But they escaped, which caused some delay. They will be sent over in a few days.”

Yun Xia’s shoulders unconsciously shrugged up, and he lowered his head slightly, trying to speak in the least offensive voice: “They have let down Esteemed Lord’s trust, and they deserve to be punished.”

The Demon Lord remained noncommittal, only looking at Yun Xia meaningfully.

“Will little Yun Xia betray my expectations?”

Yun Xia affirmed: “Although I don’t know what will happen in the future, I can be sure that I will never be detrimental to Esteemed Lord. You can completely trust this.”

The Demon Lord sighed: “Yes, I remember, you want to be the most trustworthy person by my side.”

Yun Xia choked, feeling a little guilty, and said in his heart: Unexpectedly, I can be trusted, but not by your side. The world is vast, I can’t stay in the Demon Realm forever, can I?

Of course, these words must never be spoken.

Although the Demon Lord’s mood improved a little, from the subsequent cultivation sessions, the Esteemed Lord still hadn’t returned to his usual gentle self, and he was particularly strict with him.

Wearing an extremely stunning face, he said things that made people collapse.

After finishing his cultivation, Yun Xia was completely exhausted, his head throbbing as if something was tearing open his brain to drill out.

The Demon Lord leaned back on the soft couch with his eyes half-closed, most of the Devil Markings on the side of his face gone.

Yun Xia lay on the soft cushion, weakly thinking that he had to find a way to coax him, otherwise this state would continue for who knows how long.

It was only because he was here that the Esteemed Lord was still polite to him. If it were Grey Eyes, it would have been dragged over and ravaged.

So he changed his mind and thought: “Esteemed Lord, do you like to eat?”

The Demon Lord replied indifferently with an “hmm,” and Yun Xia was sure that this didn’t mean he liked it.

He endured the headache and scrambled up, running to the soft couch and sitting on the ground: “I’ll tell you what I think you might like to eat, okay? Hmm… do you know barbecue? It’s putting food on the fire to roast. I, I used to barbecue a lot and my skills are top-notch.

“The meat slowly roasts out the oil and juice, and halfway through, you sprinkle on seasonings and honey. After it’s roasted, the outside is charred and the inside is tender, combined with the flavor of the seasonings, tsk tsk, a delicacy! There’s also roasted eggplant. I always order roasted eggplant every time I have barbecue. The eggplant flesh is soft and mushy, and you have to put chili peppers on it, it’s so delicious, I can eat three of them myself! Ah, and there’s roasted sweet potato, don’t look down on it, it’s so sweet and fragrant! It’s best to eat it when it’s hot.”

He gestured as he spoke, licking his lips from time to time and swallowing, vividly describing how delicious it was.

The Demon Lord opened his eyes at some point, looking at him.

“I’m not interested in food.”

Yun Xia’s eyes widened: “What! I’ve described it so much that tears are flowing from the corner of my mouth, and you can still resist!”

He gave a thumbs up in a serious manner: “As expected of you.”

The Demon Lord’s eyebrows twitched, and a smile flashed in his eyes: “Really? I don’t think it’s anything special.”

Yun Xia said with a smile in his eyes: “The food isn’t special, but I am, Esteemed Lord, why don’t you watch me eat?”
