TBOUMTBDK Chapter 30

Chapter 30: Chapter 30 Your Venerable wants to… kiss him?…

The Demon Lord was satisfied and said, “Shall we go downstairs for some tea?”

Yun Xia: “Sure, let’s try the pastries at this inn!”

When the two opened the door to leave, two demon guard squad leaders were standing beside the door, one of whom he knew, named Rong Feng.

“Captain Rong, Captain Zhang.”

Yun Xia greeted Rong Feng.

Seeing the Demon Lord also coming out, Rong Feng lowered his head and called out, “Esteemed Lord.”

The Demon Lord nodded.

Then the two squad leaders turned to Yun Xia: “Young Lord.”

Yun Xia pointed at himself: “Young Lord?”

The Demon Lord said to him, “Yes, this is your identity.”

“No problem~”

Yun Xia looked at the tops of their heads, then suddenly turned his face away and laughed.

The Demon Lord saw it, pinched his face and turned it back: “What are you snickering about?”

“Ouch, ouch, ouch, be gentle, it hurts!”

Yun Xia quickly followed his strength and turned back, seeing the Demon Lord slightly raising his chin, looking at him with a somewhat displeased expression.

Just like a young man! Since Esteemed Lord became like this, his personality has become a bit more lively!

Yun Xia couldn’t help but purse his lips and try to laugh again. Seeing the Demon Lord’s expression, he quickly grabbed his wide sleeve, pulled the man forward, and leaned close to the Demon Lord’s ear, saying, “Esteemed Lord, I wasn’t laughing at anything, I just thought it was a little funny that we’ve become the shortest among all of us.”

The Demon Lord glanced at him sideways: “You’re not finding it funny that we’re the shortest, you’re finding it funny that I’m short, aren’t you?”

Yun Xia looked at him in surprise: “You actually figured it out!”

The Demon Lord raised an eyebrow at him.

“Don’t raise your eyebrows, Esteemed Lord,” Yun Xia put his arm around his shoulder and rubbed him twice, “This is so interesting, it’s called a sense of contrast, you taught me that, the person who looks the weakest is the strongest, and the person who looks the strongest is the weakest, which perfectly represents us two. What does this explain?”

The Demon Lord looked at him silently.

“Esteemed Lord, tell me?” Yun Xia encouraged him, in a tone of coaxing a child.

The Demon Lord found his appearance even more interesting, so he said, “We are at opposite ends?”

“No, no, no, think in a romantic direction. It means we are a match made in heaven, complementary! Hahahaha, how’s that answer~ Do you like it?”

Yun Xia smiled, his eyes curved. His facial lines were originally round and smooth, his eyes were round, and his cheeks were a bit fleshy. Plus, his features were good-looking and harmonious, giving people a very kind and warm feeling.

When he laughed so cheerfully, he conveyed more than ten times the joy and relaxation, making people’s hearts couldn’t help but soften, and laugh along with him.

The Demon Lord stared at him, suddenly stopping.

He lowered his head and looked at his already dead heart. Can a dead heart laugh?

“Esteemed… Esteemed Lord?” Yun Xia was also brought to a stop because he was holding his shoulder. Seeing the Demon Lord lowering his head and not knowing what he was thinking, he couldn’t help but put away his smile and asked.

The Demon Lord suddenly stretched out his right hand and cupped Yun Xia’s face.

“Didn’t I say, you are very good at coaxing people.”

His expression suddenly became a little cold and aloof. Yun Xia was confused, but still obediently replied: “It seems like you did.”

Seeing that the Demon Lord’s expression didn’t change, Yun Xia was a little uneasy and tugged at his sleeve: “What, what’s wrong? Don’t you like me coaxing you? Aren’t we now… pretending to be lovers? Between lovers, this is quite normal, right.”

Two young men stood at the staircase, facing each other. Five steps away behind them were two guards following them.

Other guests going up and down would pass by here and see them.

It was the Netherflower Festival, couples everywhere, whether male and female, male and male, or female and female. Of course, there would often be sweet words in the first few sentences and then bickering in the last few.

So when they saw the two young men with not-so-good complexions, everyone just smiled knowingly, taking them for a young couple having a small disagreement.

The two parties involved had no time or interest to care about others. Hearing this, the Demon Lord’s eyes flickered, his gaze moving from Yun Xia’s eyebrows to his eyes, to his nose, and then to his lips. His fingers were also gently stroking his cheeks.

As if carefully studying his face.

Yun Xia’s eyes slowly widened, and so many people and so many sounds around him were blocked out. The world was only the two of them.

He stayed in the Demon Lord’s pair of dark eyes, somewhat dazed.

The other’s hand was very hot, his palm burning, and when his fingers slid across his face, they seemed to bring heat with them.

There was a subtle feeling, a tingling, sour, itchy sensation, from head to neck, and then to the chest.

As that feeling continued to go down, Yun Xia couldn’t bear it anymore, directly grabbed the Demon Lord’s wrist, and said embarrassedly, “Esteemed Lord, don’t look…”

But the Demon Lord’s hand didn’t move at all, and suddenly said, “Smile.”

“What?”

The Demon Lord repeated: “Like just now, smile again.”

He stared at Yun Xia’s lips.

Yun Xia, however, curled his lips, a little aggrieved and helpless: “But I can’t smile now. Your sudden cold face… scared me.”

The Demon Lord narrowed his eyes: “Is that so?”

Yun Xia nodded, his cheek rubbing against the Demon Lord’s palm with the movement.

The young man’s smooth and soft skin carried a subtle attraction, drawing the Demon Lord to want to get closer.

The black-eyed youth’s eyes deepened, and following his heart, he suddenly leaned close to Yun Xia’s lips.

The distance between the two rapidly shortened. Yun Xia only felt a blur before his eyes, and the Demon Lord’s enlarged face was right in front of him. He couldn’t help but widen his eyes and stare blankly at him.

Thump, thump, thump, thump…

His heart was pounding wildly.

Esteemed Lord wants to… do what?

Is he going to kiss him…?

But this is too fast, he’s not ready yet.

Is he really… really going to kiss him?

Yun Xia’s brain was about to explode. It was too sudden. Wasn’t he just wearing a cold face? How could he suddenly…

Just before the Demon Lord’s lips touched Yun Xia’s, he suddenly paused, slightly turning his head and bringing his lips to Yun Xia’s ear, his voice a little hoarse: “Like.”

Yun Xia was dizzy, and it took a long time before he heard what he was saying.

“…Like what?”

“Didn’t you ask me if I liked you coaxing me? I told you, I like it.”

“…” Yun Xia didn’t know what to say.

“Like to the point that,” the Demon Lord chuckled softly, his hoarse voice entering Yun Xia’s ears, “I want to eat you.”

Yun Xia blinked his eyes. What? Eat him?

Before he could react, the Demon Lord had already let him go, and then lifted his foot to go downstairs.

Yun Xia was still standing there blankly. What just happened?

The two demon guard squad leaders stepped forward, following behind him, without urging him.

From behind, Yun Xia’s ears were very pink.

Rong Feng sighed in his heart. Yun Xia was no match for the Esteemed Lord.

Not long ago, Yun Xia was still in control of the rhythm, but he was quickly thrown into confusion by the Esteemed Lord.

He, as an observer, was clear, but he didn’t know what kind of outcome Yun Xia would have.

After all, the Esteemed Lord was the most unpredictable, and no one could say that they could accurately guess his thoughts.

Perhaps one moment he would be very doting because of liking him, and the next moment he might disappear from the face of the earth.

Yun Xia stood there dumbfounded for a long time before suddenly jumping down the stairs in two or three steps, walking through the crowd to the Demon Lord, and said aggressively, “You said, how are you going to eat me!”

The Demon Lord was standing by the window, not yet seated, seemingly waiting for him.

Hearing this, he turned his head and glanced at him lightly, then turned around and sat down calmly in his seat: “Eat in the literal sense.”

Yun Xia took two deep breaths: “So, so you just wanted to eat me?”

The Demon Lord didn’t answer, just lightly flicked his sleeves, his posture elegant.

Yun Xia’s face changed several times, then he suddenly sat down with a thud. Without waiting for the waiter to come, he poured tea himself: “I know, you mean to tease me.”

He muttered, pouring the tea into his mouth, quenching his sudden thirst.

The Demon Lord hooked his lips, not denying it.

He actually wanted to kiss him just now, but seeing that this person was stupid and dazed, his eyes were confused and he didn’t know or understand anything, he felt that it wasn’t a good time.

The Netherflower Festival was still long, and there was no need to worry about not having opportunities.

He watched Yun Xia gulp down several cups of tea, wipe the corner of his mouth, and stare at him angrily and unhappily, then said, “Come here.”

Yun Xia was still angry and didn’t want to go over.

The Demon Lord was happy to indulge him in his little temper, saying, “As compensation, I’ll tell you something.”

Yun Xia moved a little, a little conflicted. In the end, he took a breath and sat next to the Demon Lord.

“What is it?”

The Demon Lord raised his hand to pull the person over, but Yun Xia suddenly leaned back, keeping the distance between them at a safe distance, and accused him with his eyes: You’re going to do it again!

The Demon Lord smiled, leisurely put down his hand without forcing him, and only said, “You are not strong enough. Don’t judge a person’s strength or weakness, good or bad, based on appearance or personality. Everything. You will suffer a great loss.”

“Of course I know this, I don’t need you to remind me specifically. This compensation doesn’t count.” Yun Xia said stubbornly.

“You really know?”

“Of course.”

“Okay,” the Demon Lord raised his hand and scratched the tip of his nose, “Then let’s change the compensation. You make any request, anything. I will agree, but it must be within these few days of the Netherflower Festival, how about it?”

Yun Xia was stunned by his affectionate gesture, and then immediately attracted by his words: “Anything is okay? Even something a little excessive?”

“Yes.”

Yun Xia’s eyes rolled, and a great idea popped up with a “ding”, and he couldn’t help but reveal a cheap smile.

The Demon Lord knew that he had some bad idea again when he saw his appearance, but he didn’t care: “Are you still angry?”

“Not angry, not angry, hehehe, you just need to keep your word. You also have to guarantee that you won’t be angry at that time, and you have to listen to me.”

The Demon Lord hummed again.

Soon, the waiter placed exquisite and beautiful tea and snacks on the table. After Yun Xia was in a better mood, he began to taste them happily. As expected of a big inn, they were delicious!

The Demon Lord’s jade-like fingers gently held the teacup, treating Yun Xia as a snack, carefully savoring the tea, and also tasting a bit of sweetness.

He found it interesting, lowered his head and smiled, put down the teacup, sat upright and watched Yun Xia eat.

Yun Xia swallowed a mouthful of snack and asked the Demon Lord, “Esteemed Lord, where are the others? Where did they go?”

After coming out, he only saw the two squad leaders. He didn’t even see the other demon attendants, demon guards, or even Demon General Xiu Wu.

Even Phoenix and Gray Eyes were not there.

“They all have things to do.”

Yun Xia immediately remembered their tasks and said in a low voice, “Esteemed Lord, what exactly am I supposed to do? Is there anything you can tell me? I’m worried that I’ll ruin your plans because I don’t know.”

The matter that Esteemed Lord came here personally was probably no small matter.

“You just follow me with peace of mind and be your playboy boyfriend. You don’t need to do anything else. With your ability, you can’t do anything anyway.”

Yun Xia: “…Can you not give me a sweet date and then slap me? Should I be happy or disappointed?”

The Demon Lord: “You are responsible for being happy, and also making me happy.”

So that’s how it is, Yun Xia understood. He was just following a group of big shots, being the playboy for the most awesome big shot, making people happy, and a mascot for adjusting the atmosphere.

“Okay, let’s go out and take a walk.”

The Demon Lord shook his head: “Wait a moment, drink some tea, there’s no rush.”

Yun Xia’s just-raised butt was put down again. Anyway, the Netherflower Festival lasts for several days, so there was really no rush.

The position where they were sitting was the best window seat in the hall. As soon as you entered the inn, it was on the left side, and you could see it at a glance.

Moreover, the Demon Lord was wearing a black and red gorgeous and dignified Esteemed Lord robe, coupled with his temperament and appearance, it was difficult not to attract attention.

Almost everyone who came in could see them. Then, word spread, and more and more people knew that there was an Esteemed Lord here.

All demons knew that the Esteemed Lord was personally appointed by the Demon Lord, a person who had done great things, so most of them were very respectful to the Esteemed Lord. You could tell by the exquisite snacks that almost filled Yun Xia’s table.

Yun Xia even saw someone who really wanted to come up and talk to the Esteemed Lord, but seeing that the Esteemed Lord was always talking to him, many people didn’t come up for fear of disturbing them. They just found a position to sit down and looked towards this side from afar.

Tsk tsk, the Esteemed Lord’s status is really high.

However, there were still those who were not so restrained. After Yun Xia ate another piece of light yellow pastry, a demon girl finally came forward.

She generously saluted the Demon Lord, her voice clear and cool: “Greetings, Esteemed Lord.”

The Demon Lord looked at her, his expression gently smiling and nodding: “No need to be so polite. I’m just here to drink tea and chat with my companion. If you have anything you want to ask, you can ask. There’s no need to be restrained.”

Yun Xia’s mouth opened wide in shock. This was Esteemed Lord?

How did Esteemed Lord become so… dignified? His back was straight but not stiff, and his hands were properly placed in front of him, completely different from his usual habit of leaning or supporting his head with his hands.

The demon girl’s pretty face flushed red: “Thank you, Esteemed Lord. My sisters and I all want to know the Esteemed Lord’s name. I wonder if you can tell us?”

The Demon Lord smiled and nodded: “Of course. My name is Li Yu, from the Demon Phoenix City.”

The demon girl’s eyes lit up, her smile even brighter: “Thank you, Esteemed Lord Li Yu, for telling us. This little girl will not disturb the Esteemed Lord and your companion. I hope you have a happy time in the Holy City.”

After saying this, she slightly bent her knees and saluted Yun Xia and the two of them, then quickly left.

Not long after she left, the people in the corner of the inn exclaimed: “Is that Esteemed Lord Li Yu? That Esteemed Lord Li Yu? Oh my god, it’s the first time I’ve seen Esteemed Lord Li Yu in person. We’ll finally have a portrait of the Esteemed Lord in the future!”

Yun Xia heard this and was strange: “Why doesn’t everyone know the portrait of Esteemed Lord Li Yu?”

The Demon Lord: “Because Esteemed Lord Li Yu is different from other Esteemed Lords. He was granted the title under special circumstances. Plus, he himself didn’t have the desire to make his identity public, so there is only a name, but no portrait has been released.”

“So that’s how it is. Under what special circumstances was he granted the title?” Yun Xia asked curiously.

The Demon Lord’s fingers rubbed the patterns on the teacup, his expression dimming a little. He paused and said, “During wartime.”

Wartime…

Yun Xia muttered silently. That’s right, Esteemed Lord Li Yu was the capable person who invented the defense system. In that case, the Esteemed Lord and Your Venerable knew each other a long time ago, and they had a good relationship.

No wonder the Demon Lord’s posture changed after coming down from upstairs. His every move was very proper, with a trace of coldness and aloofness, but he was very gentle and polite.

This should be the original temperament of that Esteemed Lord Li Yu.

Yun Xia became curious about that Esteemed Lord, wondering when he would have the chance to meet him in person.

Judging from what those people meant, they were going to announce the Esteemed Lord’s portrait, then many people would soon know that Esteemed Lord Li Yu was here.

Yun Xia’s inspiration flashed, and he immediately said, “Esteemed Lord, you said to come down for tea first, and you’ve been sitting for so long, just to expose your identity. Hehe, it seems that Esteemed Lord wants to catch a big fish.”

When they chatted about these things, the Demon Lord would isolate the sound, so Yun Xia didn’t worry about leaking secrets.

The Demon Lord looked at him appreciatively, picked up a pink round snack, and personally handed it to Yun Xia: “Not bad.”

Yun Xia happily opened his mouth to eat it, and as soon as he pursed his lips, the snack scattered, and the sweet taste spread from the tip of his tongue.

Then he saw the Demon Lord put the fingers that had just touched his lips in his mouth and sucked them, lowered his head and smiled: “Quite sweet.”

Yun Xia’s hand gripping the edge of the table tightened, his eyes slightly dodging, and said in a low voice, “Then Esteemed Lord, the purpose has been achieved, can we go out shopping?”

The Demon Lord smiled: “Yes, but there’s no rush. Go upstairs and change your clothes first.”

“Ah? Why?” Shouldn’t we continue wearing this and speed up the process of spreading his identity?

“Little fool, why is your brain sometimes working and sometimes not? If you wear this, won’t you have to be restrained wherever you go? How can you enjoy shopping to the fullest?”

Yun Xia rubbed his ears and smiled foolishly: “You’re right, I understand. Esteemed Lord is wise.”
