TBOUMTBDK Chapter 28

Chapter 28: The Ravenous Wolf and the Lecher

The next day was indeed a beautiful day.

After being awakened by Yun Xia’s movements, the Demon Lord slowly opened his eyes, a trace of just-woken confusion still lingering within them.

A few breaths later, he saw Yun Xia, his long eyelashes blinked, transitioning from confusion to even greater confusion, but only for a fleeting moment, so brief that Yun Xia thought he had imagined it.

Subsequently, the Demon Lord fully awoke, reverting to his original composure, leisurely propping his head up with his hand, and gazing down at him.

“What are you looking at?”

His voice was slightly hoarse, grating against Yun Xia’s ears with a soft, tingling sensation.

“Of course, I’m admiring a beauty’s morning awakening.” Yun Xia rubbed his ear, controlling his about-to-spiral-out-of-control heart, and said softly.

“By the way, didn’t you say you don’t sleep?”

The Demon Lord’s gaze flickered, and he said, “When the mood strikes, one can take a nap.”

“…Oh.”

The Demon Lord pulled Yun Xia’s hand away from his ear: “Don’t rub so hard, you’re making your ear red.”

As he spoke, he very naturally touched the tip of his ear.

Yun Xia felt like he had been set on fire, rolling several times away from the Demon Lord’s side.

If the bed wasn’t big enough, he could have rolled right off.

Yun Xia’s face was completely red, his hair disheveled from the rolling, and he pulled the blanket to hug himself.

“I, I’m telling you, don’t start fires early in the morning, I’m still young, unlike you, who is a…”

Gah.

His self-control was indeed much worse in the morning; he almost blurted out the truth.

But the Demon Lord wasn’t going to let him off so easily, narrowing his long, narrow eyes: “I’m what?”

Yun Xia thought to himself, could he really say ‘a hundred-year-old man’ to his face? Could he?

“Hehe,” Yun Xia couldn’t come up with any lies in time, so he plastered on a smiling face, “It’s nothing, I mean, it’s, it’s that we have to leave today, right, so let’s get up? I’ll go back and pack a bit, uh…”

Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly rolled back to his original position, performing the exact same rolling motion as before.

One roll and he was back in the Demon Lord’s arms.

Yun Xia was dizzy from the rolling and utterly bewildered, instinctively pressing against the Demon Lord’s chest.

“I’ve lived for over a hundred years, do you really think I don’t know anything and can be fooled by a little liar like you?”

The Demon Lord’s voice sounded from above his head, Yun Xia’s body trembled, and he raised his head with a mournful face: “Alright, it’s my fault, Esteemed Lord, so can you spare me?”

His entire body was pressed against the Demon Lord’s, any slight reaction would be discovered, and even though he had thick skin, his sense of shame defeated him at this moment.

The Demon Lord sized him up with great interest, casually propping up his long leg.

His knee slowly brushed past Yun Xia’s side.

Yun Xia stiffened, pressing even harder against the Demon Lord, trying to retreat.

But the Demon Lord just wanted to see his embarrassed state, lightly placing his fingers on his waist, preventing him from retreating even a little bit.

Yun Xia: “…”

His cheeks grew redder and redder, he pursed his lips tightly as if resisting something, and he closed his eyes to block everything out.

That wicked beauty still wanted to press him: “What are you thinking about?”

Yun Xia wouldn’t say anything, even if he died.

“Hmm?”

The hand on his waist also began to misbehave.

Yun Xia grew anxious and opened his eyes: “You’re really acting like an old geezer!”

After saying that, he glared at him angrily, not afraid that the Demon Lord would kill him, anyway, he had important tasks right now and wouldn’t die for the time being.

As expected, the Demon Lord wasn’t angry, and even looked very happy, a smile hanging on his lips, the red pupils clearly reflecting Yun Xia’s figure.

It was an extremely genuine smile.

Yun Xia was inappropriately stunned for a moment, then he immediately turned his head, unwilling to lose his integrity, insisting on his stance.

Hmph, what’s so great about using beauty to bewitch people, I’ll use my personal charm to conquer others in the future!

The Demon Lord let him be, only watching him with a smile.

At this moment, a tranquil and warm atmosphere permeated the spacious bedroom surrounded by ferocious beasts.

Even the slightly swaying curtains didn’t seem scary anymore.

After Yun Xia calmed down, he felt a little awkward and uncomfortable. He lowered his hand from the Demon Lord’s chest, sat up, and having just sat up properly, suddenly looked towards the Demon Lord’s chest as if he had discovered something.

He must have felt wrong!

He placed his hand back on the Demon Lord’s left chest.

The Demon Lord’s smile slowly faded, he neither spoke nor stopped him.

Time passed second by second, Yun Xia’s expression becoming increasingly solemn.

After a long time, he suddenly retracted his hand, swallowed, and asked with some difficulty, “Esteemed Lord, you… why don’t you have a heartbeat?”

Demon Lord: “Want to know?”

Hearing him say that, Yun Xia hesitated.

After thinking for a long time, he asked again, “Is this the kind of secret that gets you killed after you find out?”

A hint of a smile returned to the Demon Lord’s face: “Don’t worry, I won’t kill you.”

Yun Xia relaxed, and immediately said, “I want to know.”

The Demon Lord’s smile deepened, and the color of his pupils also deepened.

“Because, I ate it.”

Yun Xia’s eyes suddenly widened, staring at him in shock.

But the Demon Lord didn’t look like he was teasing him.

Could it be true?

Even for demon cultivators or immortal cultivators, not having a heart would mean they couldn’t live, right? They could only hold on for a short while, it definitely wouldn’t work in the long run.

People weren’t puppets!

Yun Xia’s face changed several times, almost twisting up.

The Demon Lord found it amusing: “Since I’m not going to kill you, what else are you afraid to ask?”

Yun Xia blurted out, “Was it delicious?”

Demon Lord: “…………”

Even he hadn’t expected Yun Xia to ask such a question.

He raised his hand and made a grasping motion in the air, saying, “Do you want me to take it out and let you taste it?”

Yun Xia leaned back sharply: “You have such heavy tastes! I don’t want it!”

Demon Lord: “…”

“Take it out?”

Only then did Yun Xia realize the meaning behind the Demon Lord’s words.

In other words, his heart was still in his chest?

“When you said ‘ate,’ you meant…?”

The Demon Lord lowered his hand and said lightly, “I ate the vitality of the heart.”

Yun Xia was silent.

This world was indeed very wonderful; what was the difference between eating the vitality and eating it directly? Wouldn’t it be unusable either way?

“My Black Lotus, you’ve seen it.”

Yun Xia nodded repeatedly, listening obediently.

“It uses the blood of the heart.”

He half understood.

He remembered that the Demon Lord’s Black Lotus was originally a red blood lotus, which turned black after drops of blood were dripped into it.

Uh, there must be something very profound about it, something that couldn’t be explained in just a few words.

“Esteemed Lord, that Black Lotus of yours…”

He took the opportunity to inquire about the Demon Lord’s skills.

The Demon Lord lifted his eyes: “Want to know? You can come and take a look in my sea of consciousness.”

“No need, no need, it’s not very convenient, hahaha, is the sea of consciousness something anyone can enter? Esteemed Lord, when are we leaving?”

He decisively changed the subject.

The Demon Lord chuckled and got out of bed.

“Let’s go.”

Yay! Finally changing maps!

Although he couldn’t say he was tired of living in the Demon Palace, people always looked forward to a bigger space.

He had been in the Demon Lord’s little world pocket dimension since he transmigrated, and had been staying in the Demon Palace ever since he came out.

He hadn’t seen the outside world yet.

The two of them walked out of the bedroom, Yun Xia was still happy about it, but as soon as he came out, he saw that the door of the usually deserted bedroom was now full of people.

As soon as he appeared, everyone’s eyes looked straight at him.

And then, they bowed to the Demon Lord.

Yun Xia: “…”

So, could there be another explanation for the fact that he slept with the Demon Lord in the Demon Lord’s bedroom last night?

But he wasn’t injured this time, nothing had happened, so what reason could there be?

After everyone bowed, some people secretly looked at him, and immediately lowered their heads after meeting Yun Xia’s gaze.

Tsk tsk, those little looks, like seeing the emperor’s concubine.

Yun Xia gave up, let them think what they wanted, it was okay if they thought he was the Demon Lord’s furnace.

There was no difference to him.

“Esteemed Lord, everything is ready, and arrangements have been made at Holy City.”

“These are the people who will be openly traveling with you and Yun Xia.”

He was referring to the several demon servants beside him, several demon guard squad leaders, two stewards, and the demon general Xiu Wu.

An He was also among the demon servants.

When An He saw Yun Xia looking over, he nodded slightly to him.

Yun Xia also smiled at him.

He looked at the demon guard squad leaders and noticed that someone was missing, so he said to the Demon Lord, “Esteemed Lord, can I add someone to come with us? He’s a demon guard.”

Everyone was silent.

In their eyes, this was a typical example of taking advantage of favor.

Apart from the demon servants who served people, the lowest rank here was a demon guard squad leader, what could a small demon guard do if he followed them?

The Demon Lord looked at him, his eyes slightly moved.

“Mm.” he said faintly.

Yun Xia was keenly aware that he was a little unhappy, but didn’t understand what there was to be unhappy about, it was just calling for one more person, it shouldn’t have any impact on their affairs.

He didn’t think too much, and said to a familiar demon guard squad leader, “It’s Wei Ying.”

That squad leader nodded.

Soon, Wei Ying arrived, during this time the Demon Lord was listening to a steward reporting on the affairs of Holy City.

When Yun Xia saw him, he waved vigorously at him.

Wei Ying quickly ran over and smiled softly at Yun Xia, saluting the Demon Lord.

The Demon Lord didn’t look at him, and Wei Ying got up on his own after saluting and walked to the side.

Yun Xia immediately went over and whispered in his ear.

“Is Holy City fun?”

“It’s… pretty fun.”

“Are there many people in Holy City?”

“Many, Holy City is the largest city in the Demon Realm.”

“Are there many beauties?”

“?”

“Many… I guess…”

“So reluctant, don’t you like beauties?”

“…”

“Is Holy City far?”

“Don’t you know?”

“Ahem, I know, what does it matter to me asking you whether it’s far or not?”

“…Not far, we’re not walking there.”

“…That’s right, the almighty teleport.”

“…”

Yun Xia thought he was being very quiet, but in reality everyone heard their conversation, and everyone twisted their faces, desperately holding back.

What kind of treasure was this?

After everything was ready, the group was about to depart, and the Demon Lord was about to raise his hand to take everyone there when Yun Xia suddenly grabbed his arm.

“Wait, Esteemed Lord, are you going like this? Don’t you want to disguise yourself or something? With a face as beautiful as yours, even if they’re not afraid, it’ll just add a lot of trouble.”

Several people couldn’t hold back and coughed hard while covering their mouths.

Yun Xia was confused: “?”

Wasn’t that true?

With such a stunning face, and no mask, wouldn’t he be pounced on by ravenous wolves?

Everyone’s eyes: You’re the ravenous wolf and the lecher!

That demon guard squad leader who was more familiar with Yun Xia glanced at the Demon Lord and mustered up the courage to say to him, “It’s okay, everyone who has seen the Esteemed Lord’s true face won’t remember the Esteemed Lord’s face, so… there’s no need to do the changes you mentioned, the kind of thing you said won’t happen.”

Yun Xia suddenly understood, oh! There was also this kind of operation, he had thought too shallowly, only thinking of using spells for makeup, but not thinking of making people forget at first sight.

Sorry, I haven’t cultivated as an immortal or a demon in my previous life, I’m still not adapted enough.

However, at this time, the Demon Lord suddenly spoke: “Then do as you say, what kind of appearance should I change into?”

Everyone: Ah?
