TBOUMTBDK Chapter 29

Chapter 29 Chapter 29 He was indulged by the Demon Lord’s own hands…

Yun Xia’s eyes lit up: “Really? I get to decide?”

“Yes.”

“Anything is okay?”

The Demon Lord raised an eyebrow.

“Don’t worry, don’t worry, I won’t deliberately cause trouble. You are my…”

He leaned close to the Demon Lord, shielding his mouth with his hand, and said softly, “Boyfriend!”

Demon Lord: “What boy…”

Yun Xia immediately put his hand in front of him: “That’s the meaning, that, that meaning, I know you understand! No need to tell them!”

Everyone: “…”

However… Yun Xia suddenly thought of an unavoidable question and asked, “Esteemed Lord, do they know we are going to…”

Demon Lord: “No.”

So…

Yun Xia’s voice was even softer, almost a whisper: “Then do we need to keep it a secret?”

The young man’s breath blew directly on his ear, hot and scalding. The Demon Lord only felt a burn on his heart, on that useless organ.

His Adam’s apple bobbed: “No need.”

Then he straightened up slightly and said in a calm voice: “The Demon Lord and Yun Xia will pose as a loving couple in the Holy City to celebrate the Netherflower Festival.”

Only this sentence, stating the facts, without any explanation, nor saying it was to deceive people.

Everyone became solemn, lowered their heads and responded in unison: “Yes, Holy Ruler.”

Not showing a trace of strangeness on their faces.

Only one person was a beat slower.

Yun Xia’s cheeks were a little hot, and he noticed their address.

“Holy Ruler?”

The Demon Lord lowered his head and said to him: “Let’s disguise first, and I’ll explain in detail when we arrive.”

“Okay, okay, let me think, I’ve got it!”

Then he whispered in the Demon Lord’s ear: gibberish gibberish.

The others were already numb, adapted, and used to it.

Actually, they were still not very used to it…

“Yeah, yeah, just like that, let’s see the transformation first and then adjust.”

In a few breaths, the Demon Lord had already changed his appearance.

His long hair became short, choppy hair that fell below his ears, with added bangs that he didn’t originally have, and two strands of hair below his ears that reached his collarbone.

His hair was slightly curly and slightly messy, but the mess was just right.

The Demon Lord’s clothes also changed, wearing a black and red gold-trimmed robe, noble and generous. His face also became younger and more youthful, looking the same age as Yun Xia.

Yun Xia wiped the drool from the corner of his mouth, staring straight at the young man in front of him: “Good, so handsome! So good-looking, Esteemed Lord, your young appearance is so good-looking!!”

It was a completely different style from the previous Demon Lord, with very vivid and bright features, full of youthful energy, looking even a little younger than Yun Xia.

But what Yun Xia didn’t know was that the Demon Lord wasn’t so bright and sunny when he was young. This trait was actually based on Yun Xia.

But the Demon Lord didn’t tell him.

“It’s good as long as you like it.” Even though he had turned into a young man, he was still steady and calm.

The combination of youthful energy and calmness was not abrupt at all, and there was also that imposing robe holding him down.

Yun Xia couldn’t take his eyes off him.

“Like, like, super like! But that won’t do. You have to become uglier, shorter, and as tall as me. I’m taking you out to be seen by others. Don’t let people not remember your face. It’s lonely to not have a look that people remember, whether beautiful or ugly.”

The speaker didn’t mean it, but the listener took it to heart.

Someone quietly looked up at the Demon Lord, whose expression remained unchanged, seemingly not caring at all about loneliness or being remembered.

That’s right, the Esteemed Lord wouldn’t care about other people’s opinions.

And who wouldn’t remember the Esteemed Lord? Even for the next hundred or thousand years, the Demon Realm’s Supreme would exist in the hearts of all demons.

“Esteemed Lord, Esteemed Lord?”

Yun Xia chattered on and on, saying a lot of nonsense. After a long time, seeing that the Demon Lord didn’t move, he called out.

“Yes, speak.”

“It’s just to become a little uglier, is it okay? Not ugly either, just a little more ordinary, but still handsome and good-looking, and then a little shorter.”

“Ah, yes, yes, that’s right!”

The Demon Lord’s features were not as exquisite and stunning as before after the change, but that was only relative. Now he was still good-looking enough to enter the entertainment industry. Yun Xia thought it was very acceptable.

“Let’s go.”

After Yun Xia was satisfied, the Demon Lord directly grabbed his arm and pulled him to his side. The two of them touched shoulders. Yun Xia finally calmed down, feeling novel about this almost non-existent height difference.

And the Demon Lord also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

At the front of the crowd, the two young men looked unusually close, one active and one quiet, without any sense of disharmony.

As if they were already familiar with this mode of getting along, it wasn’t the first time.

In the team, An He stared at their backs, not knowing what he was thinking.

Wei Ying turned his head away, his expression a little sullen.

With the Demon Lord around, Yun Xia didn’t feel anything. He only held his breath for a few breaths and appeared in a completely different place.

Yun Xia couldn’t wait to take a look. Behind him were huge city walls dozens of meters high. The city walls were very heavily guarded. Every few steps, there was a demon soldier standing with a spear, wearing thin armor. In addition, there were guards constantly walking and patrolling, and at the end of each guard team, there were two hellbeasts as tall as three meters following.

Yun Xia could even hear the sound of their footsteps, rumbling, very shocking.

Just as he was shocked and opened his mouth wide, a sharp, long cry came from the distance, approaching rapidly, followed by the sound of wind.

A flying hellbeast approached from afar, with wings spanning more than ten meters.

This was a golden-red bird, with long, dazzling tail feathers. Its arrival caused the ordinary demons around to look up.

Yun Xia was dumbfounded. If he wasn’t mistaken, this was… a phoenix??

This extremely gorgeous phoenix flew straight towards Yun Xia and the others, and many demons couldn’t help but disperse, leaving a large open space.

The phoenix landed on the open space, held its wings flat, and bowed its head to the Demon Lord.

A clear male voice entered the ears of everyone nearby: “Greetings, Holy Ruler.”

Telepathic transmission!

Only hellbeasts that had formed their inner core and cultivated to a certain height could understand this kind of telepathic transmission.

The demons watching whispered:

“Holy Ruler? Where, where? I haven’t seen the Holy Ruler before.”

“Which city’s Holy Ruler is it? Is it that young man? He looks so young, but he can become a Holy Ruler! Amazing. I don’t know which Holy Ruler he is. He looks unfamiliar. Is he newly appointed? And he’s so good-looking.”

“Hey, hey, don’t talk nonsense. That’s the Esteemed Lord’s personally appointed Holy Ruler. We can’t disturb him casually. Look, isn’t that the phoenix from the Demon Phoenix City? Why did it suddenly come to the Holy City?”

“Does that mean that person is the Holy Ruler from the Demon Phoenix City? Let’s go, let’s go back and find out.”

“…”

The Demon Lord nodded slightly, and the phoenix gradually shrank until it was only a few tens of centimeters long.

Afterward, a gray hellhound walked out from behind.

Yun Xia exclaimed: “Wolf Demon! Weren’t you going to the Beast Valley? How did you come with this phoenix?”

The Wolf Demon turned its head to look at the phoenix.

Yun Xia probably understood, it should have gone to find this phoenix.

Seeing the phoenix looking at him, Yun Xia immediately smiled at it: “Nice to meet you, nice to meet you. My name is Yun Xia. I’m… I’m with the Holy Ruler.”

The phoenix’s posture was clear, noble, and dignified, but it didn’t look down on Yun Xia. It nodded at Yun Xia, then landed on the Wolf Demon’s back, put away its wings, as if treating the Wolf Demon as a mount.

The Wolf Demon seemed to be quite familiar with it, letting it sit and silently walked into Yun Xia’s team.

The group walked into the noisy crowd, because of what had just happened, their group attracted countless onlookers.

The two young men at the front, one was sunny and cute with a smile on his face, and the other was handsome, steady, and had calm eyes.

Causing many demon girls to giggle and discuss.

“Look, there’s a fresh little young man next to the Holy Ruler. He’s so cute, I want to pinch him.”

“Which side are you pinching? I’ll pinch the other side, hehe.”

“Look! He’s looking at us, his eyes are round like grapes!”

“I wonder if he has a girl he likes. If not, we can pursue him with a ‘Netherflower Gift’ tonight.”

“It doesn’t have to be a girl, maybe it’s the person next to him~”

“That’s possible. The two of them are so close. How can he be more lovable standing next to the Holy Ruler!”

Then there was a burst of silver bell-like laughter.

Yun Xia was very dissatisfied when he heard this. What do you mean he’s more lovable standing next to the Holy Ruler! Aren’t they about the same height!

Then, if it was the original Esteemed Lord’s appearance, what kind of feeling would he give people next to Esteemed Lord?

Babysitting?

Bah, bah, bah!

Therefore, he grabbed the Demon Lord’s sleeve, leaned close to his ear and said, “Esteemed… Holy Ruler, please adjust your height a little shorter, and make your face more cute, more tender, preferably with some baby fat, and also make your eyes bigger. In short, you have to look weaker, more helpless, more pitiful, and more lovable than me.”

The Demon Lord turned his head and glanced at him, amused, and said: “Why? Isn’t this what you decided?”

Yun Xia curled his lips. As a 21st-century new human, he also understood, okay? Generally speaking, the strong-looking one is the seme, and the weaker one is the uke. Since he was going to change, he might as well become stronger and Esteemed Lord weaker.

Hehehe.

Yun Xia was thinking wildly, with a wretched smile on his face. He never thought that one day he would have the opportunity to “overpower” the Esteemed Lord! Even if it was fake!

He immediately said to the Demon Lord: “I found that it would be better to change it. I can better show my boyfriend power! Esteemed Lord, don’t you want to try what it feels like to be protected by others?”

“Sounds interesting.”

“Right, right! Let’s change it! You’re always protecting me. Let me protect you for the next few days!” As he spoke, he looked at the Esteemed Lord with expectant eyes.

Like a cute puppy.

The Demon Lord smiled at his appearance, his eyes softened a lot, and he looked at the demons who were staring at him and laughing. He leaned over and whispered, “If you can protect me like this, that would be really strong, and it would make them look at you with new eyes, wouldn’t it? Don’t you think this sense of contrast is very interesting and more admirable than what you said?”

Yun Xia was stunned, oh!

The current Esteemed Lord was obviously a person with status and status. If he could protect such a person, wouldn’t that make him seem stronger?

As expected of the Esteemed Lord, his mind was so good.

He immediately straightened his back, pressed his eyebrows slightly, and his expression was serious and his eyes were powerful. He even put his hand on the Demon Lord’s back, holding him loosely, looking like a protector.

When the girls next to him saw this, they really covered their mouths and exclaimed, gathered together and laughed even more happily, and became even more excited.

Yun Xia cleared his throat, took half a step slightly behind him, and walked close to the Demon Lord: “Holy Ruler, be careful, there are a lot of people.”

The Demon Lord was very satisfied and nodded lightly.

The guards behind him didn’t do anything deliberately, they followed naturally.

The group joined the crowd and headed to the inn that had been reserved long ago.

In the distance, the girls: “Aiya, he’s so cute!!”

Along the way, Yun Xia had to protect the Demon Lord while looking at the surrounding things. He was so busy that he couldn’t catch his breath. Now that he entered the inn, he could finally rest a little.

This inn was very big, very clean, and very distinctive. Not long after the group entered, a waiter led them to their rooms.

The other people performed their duties like ordinary guards.

Yun Xia and the Demon Lord entered the largest room.

“Wow! So big, it’s like a business trip paid for by the company. And it’s a trip for fun, so cool!”

Yun Xia went straight to the big bed and threw himself on it.

The Demon Lord slowly walked towards this side, sat down on the edge of the bed, slowly raised his hand and tidied up his clothes.

Yun Xia spread out on the bed: “Esteemed Lord, what kind of position is Holy Ruler? I heard them say that every Holy Ruler is personally appointed by you, which means you have seen every one of them?”

“Yes, the Holy Ruler is different from those people. They are not within the usual promotion channels. Every one of them is granted the title only if they have made certain contributions to the demons or even the Demon Realm. It doesn’t matter about their background, it doesn’t matter about their past, as long as they are affirmed by this Demon Lord.”

“Then what level of contribution is required?”

“A Holy Ruler proposed and initially built a city’s defense system, from outside the city walls to the inside, the establishment of each defense point, the connection of each city, the deployment of personnel, etc., was very complete and perfect. Since then, no demon city has ever been captured from the outside, even when the Immortal army came.”

Yun Xia was stunned. The Immortal army hadn’t even been able to take down a single city?

This was really amazing.

“Who is it?” He jumped up.

The Demon Lord chuckled: “The person I’m playing now.”

He didn’t give Yun Xia a chance to continue asking and said: “The Holy Ruler doesn’t necessarily have to do similar things. Contribution doesn’t have only one standard. Someone created a medicinal pill that allows the demons to not be affected by the innate baleful aura, and they can also be granted the title of Holy Ruler. That was a very ordinary demon with no background.”

“Even if they are granted the title of Holy Ruler, they will not have more additional power. This is just a title. If you want to get something, you must think of other ways, and you can’t borrow the name of the Holy Ruler. So everyone will always remember this person’s name. It can be said that this is an honor.”

Yun Xia smiled and narrowed his eyes: “Yes, this is the honor you personally granted. It is you who let these amazing people be seen, and let these good decisions be promoted. Esteemed Lord, it’s really good that the Demon Realm has you.”

The Demon Lord turned his head and looked straight into his eyes, and said softly: “Is that so? Do you really think so?”

Yun Xia opened his mouth, unable to speak for a moment, and was hooked by his eyes and unable to move away.

The Demon Lord’s eyes were not the original red pupils, but turned into pure black, like the dark, lightless Demon Realm, so black that it was about to suck people in.

Even if it was such an unfamiliar face, even if it wasn’t as amazing as the Demon Lord’s original face, his eyes still made Yun Xia feel a tingling all over his body.

He bit his tongue hard to break free from it, jumped off the bed and ran to the window: “Esteemed Lord, come here, come here!”

The Demon Lord glanced at him and still walked over as he said, standing next to him side by side with him.

“Look, everyone’s expressions, their voices, how happy. Perhaps you have too many things to deal with now, too many things to take into account, your pattern is very large, but similarly, some very small things can be seen and heard as long as you want.”

The Demon Lord was silent, just quietly watching the bustling and lively street.

Yun Xia relaxed and lay on the windowsill, looking at the Demon Lord sideways.

“Esteemed Lord, I found that you are really very different from what the outside world says! Although you are more… strict, you are very good at seeing and using people. The Demon Realm is very well managed by you.”

The Demon Lord’s mouth slightly hooked: “Flatterer.”

“That’s not true. What I said today is from the bottom of my heart, more real than pearls!”

“Oh? That is to say, what you said in the past was not all from the bottom of your heart, and there is a suspicion of lying and offending?”

“Uh… not really. I respect you very much, Esteemed Lord.”

The Demon Lord snorted softly.

In fact, the Demon Lord was extremely revered in the hearts of most demons. It could be said that he was everyone’s faith. The demons had a long lifespan, and many people had experienced the turmoil a hundred years ago. It was the Demon Lord who rescued them from that environment and drove away the attacking Immortals, and gradually managed the Demon Realm well, so that everyone could live in peace without having to worry every day.

But in the end, he still couldn’t resist the torrent. To be honest, the Demon Realm was not the master of the Three Realms. There was a bigger and wider world outside. There were no thick clouds there, there was the sun, the moon, and the starlight.

And due to historical reasons, the demons were negative, hideous, and irrational demons in the eyes of the Human Race and the Immortal Race.

In the original book, in the end, due to various things, the powerful Demon Lord fell into madness and destroyed the Demon Realm that he had built with his own hands.

The Human Realm was implicated, and only the Immortal Realm was left as the winner, and it was also fragmented.

The Netherflower Festival was a big festival for the demons, and everyone was extremely excited. The streets were a few points more lively than usual.

He didn’t know how many years such a scene could last… Thinking of the great wars across the Three Realms in the book, and the devastation of life that was glossed over in just a few words, Yun Xia couldn’t help but say softly: “If someone can stop the wars in the future, can they be granted the title of Holy Ruler?”

The wind gently brushed past their bodies, shaking the hem of their clothes, touching each other.

The Demon Lord didn’t answer immediately, but slowly looked at Yun Xia.

Yun Xia was startled, realized what he had inadvertently said, and immediately straightened up: “Ah, I, I didn’t mean that, Esteemed Lord, I really didn’t curse the demons, I just…”

His sigh was indeed not very pleasant to hear. What do you mean stop the wars in the future! Why must there be wars in the future? War with whom?

If you said something similar in front of the emperor, you would be immediately charged with the crime of disrupting the court.

“I just hope that the Three Realms will always be peaceful, and the demons can continue to live like this and live a good life. I don’t want it to be destroyed, but if, just in case, bad things really happen, I only hope that someone can stand up and stop this from happening. There is no other meaning.”

His hair was lifted by the wind, trembling with his body, because he was not sure what the Demon Lord’s attitude was towards this sensitive topic.

The Demon Lord looked at him for a long time, so long that Yun Xia could barely stand, before he raised his hand and touched his head.

“What are you afraid of? At this time, I am the Holy Ruler, you are my person, you don’t need to be so restrained.”

“Really?”

“Has this Demon Lord ever lied to you?”

Yun Xia then completely breathed a sigh of relief, almost collapsing.

“You always scare me!”

“I scared you? If I really scared you, would you dare to talk to this Demon Lord like this?”

Yun Xia touched his head and smiled hehe. That’s right, he could be said to have been indulged by the Demon Lord’s own hands.

He was almost completely unrestrained usually. Now that the Esteemed Lord said this, he became even more open.

“Esteemed Lord, I found that you look really cute and kind now.”

“Call me what?”

“Holy Ruler! My Holy Ruler!”
