TBOUMTBDK Chapter 31

Chapter 31: A Little Couple’s Quarrel! …

The two left their seats, got up, and went upstairs back to their room. Inside, someone had already placed several sets of clothes on the table.

Yun Xia immediately went forward, flipping through them as he said, “I’ll pick one for you!”

Demon Lord allowed him to do as he pleased, sitting down beside him.

Yun Xia thought every set was great and would surely look good on Esteemed Lord; he had a bit of decision paralysis.

He held up the clothes against Demon Lord, saying, “If you wear this Holy Lord attire, no one will dare to flirt with you. Instead, they’ll be talking about me, hehe. Once you change into these clothes, I don’t believe no one will discuss you.”

In the end, he reluctantly put down the other clothes and handed the one in his hand to Demon Lord, “Esteemed Lord, how about this one!”

Demon Lord took it and with a light wave, the clothes were on him.

It was a set of bright orange robes, looking very energetic, perfectly suited to Demon Lord’s current youthful appearance, even more eye-catching than Yun Xia in his blue outfit.

“So handsome! Just like I imagined, let’s go, Esteemed Lord!”

Seeing how happy he was, Demon Lord also curved his lips into a smile. The two young men then walked out the door shoulder to shoulder.

It was still daytime outside, perfect for strolling around until the Netherflower gifting event in the evening. The streets were filled with people, various shops and stalls lining both sides, making one suspect this wasn’t the Demon Realm that everyone avoided, but a lively and bustling human world.

Yun Xia looked around as he walked, but because there were so many people, to avoid getting separated from Demon Lord, he smilingly reached out to Demon Lord, “Esteemed Lord, can I…”

He suddenly stopped, cautiously looking at the people passing by.

Demon Lord: “What’s wrong?”

Yun Xia leaned closer to him, whispering, “What should I call you when we’re outside? I can’t keep calling you Holy Lord, what if someone overhears?”

Demon Lord said, “Your Lord.”

“Your Lord?”

“Yes, it’s a common title, suitable for addressing superiors when you don’t know what else to call them.”

“Oh…” Yun Xia replied absentmindedly.

Demon Lord glanced at him. After Yun Xia said “oh,” he fell into deep thought, seemingly lost in his mind, not even asking the question he had started.

Demon Lord held back for a while until he saw him almost get pushed aside by someone, then he grabbed his hand, pulling him close to his side, “What are you thinking about so intently?”

Yun Xia looked at him, unsure how to explain.

He had just thought of a question, one he had never considered before—he didn’t know Demon Lord’s name.

He had always addressed him as Esteemed Lord, and no one had ever called out Esteemed Lord’s name, because there was only one Demon Lord in this world, one Esteemed Lord, unparalleled.

So no one was curious, no one had asked.

Yun Xia felt a little sad thinking about this. Although “Demon Lord” was unique, it was ultimately just a title, not a person’s name, and calling him that always created some distance.

Esteemed Lord must have his own name, but… how long had it been since he had heard someone call him by his name?

Would he… feel sad?

Yun Xia started feeling sorry for him, then thought that with Demon Lord’s personality, he probably didn’t care about this at all.

If he asked directly, would Esteemed Lord answer?

He probably would.

Esteemed Lord had been Demon Lord for many years, and his name had become something very few knew, something very hidden.

The few who knew didn’t dare to spread Demon Lord’s name.

That way, an unknown name was like a little secret, and if he was the only one who could call Esteemed Lord’s name, then…

Yun Xia’s face suddenly turned red, and he cursed himself inwardly, don’t be so love-struck!

Demon Lord was usually very good at reading his emotions and thoughts, but today he had no idea what Yun Xia was thinking. His expressions kept changing, from puzzled to sad, and now suddenly he was blushing.

What was he thinking? And he’s blushing.

Demon Lord chuckled, pulled him along, and asked, “Talk.”

At that moment, an extremely subtle ripple spread out, touching everyone nearby, but no one noticed.

Except for Demon Lord.

Demon Lord narrowed his eyes, imperceptibly forming several hand seals in his sleeve. A black lotus slowly bloomed at his fingertips.

As the black lotus appeared, the ripple turned into a voice that entered his ears: [Yun Xia, Senior Brother, we’ve come to find you! Long time no see. You actually managed to use Li Yu Holy Lord to leave the Demon Palace, no wonder you are the one Elder Nanli praised the most! Hehe, after receiving this message, remember to meet at Drunken Inscriptions tonight. If you really can’t make it, just send me a message. We’ll talk about the rest when we meet.]

Demon Lord’s face suddenly turned cold, his icy gaze shooting towards the surroundings, but he found nothing suspicious. Then, he looked at Yun Xia again.

Yun Xia seemed to have heard nothing, using the back of his hand to cover his hot face, not looking at Demon Lord, “It’s nothing, it’s nothing, just thinking nonsense, Your Lord doesn’t need to mind me.”

He turned around to show great interest in the stall in front of him, “Wow, Your Lord, look, they’re selling little cloth dolls here, there’s a gray-eyed one! Can I buy one?”

He was holding a gray, dog-like stuffed doll.

If he turned around, he would see Demon Lord’s dark face.

But he didn’t, naturally talking to the stall owner.

It was like he was hiding something he had heard.

If Demon Lord hadn’t caught this message transmitted with a special technique, if not for his black lotus, anyone else would probably have been unable to detect it. Even if they had, they wouldn’t have heard the content.

Yun Xia didn’t hear his voice, turning around to say, “Your Lord?”

What he met was Demon Lord’s expressionless face.

Yun Xia’s heart trembled. Wh-What’s wrong? Why does he look so scary?

“Your Lord, what’s wrong, you…”

Seeing that he was still pretending, Demon Lord raised the corner of his lips into a cold smile, “Tell me what you were thinking just now, and I’ll buy it for you.”

Yun Xia was stunned, then shook his head forcefully, “Really, it’s nothing, just random thoughts.”

Demon Lord took a step forward, forcing Yun Xia to the corner of the stall, “You can’t tell me your random thoughts?”

His eyebrows lowered, his eyes icy, a faint, terrifying aura spreading out, “Hmm?”

Yun Xia’s back was against the stall’s table, somewhat dazed.

Why did Demon Lord suddenly change his face? Weren’t they just fine?

Even if it wasn’t Esteemed Lord’s original face, he was still scary, reminding Yun Xia of the Demon Lord in the Hall of Ten Thousand Demons using the black lotus.

He couldn’t help but shiver in fear.

Under such pressure, Yun Xia could only say, “I…”

He had only said one word when Demon Lord narrowed his eyes and said, “You can’t lie, I’ll know.”

Yun Xia: “…”

He didn’t want to lie!

At this time, the stall owner, who had been watching the whole thing, had initially been amused, but sensitively sensing the aura on Demon Lord, frowned and came out to mediate, waving his hand with a smile:

“Oh, young couple, it’s normal to argue and bicker, but young man, today is the Netherflower Festival, a day for joy, try not to quarrel. You’ll regret it if you waste time arguing on such an important day.”

Demon Lord didn’t move, nor did he turn around, just looking at Yun Xia, his black pupils seeming to churn with something.

Yun Xia carefully grabbed the sleeve of Demon Lord’s clothes, “I really didn’t want to lie, why are you angry? Why do you think I would lie?”

Demon Lord lowered his eyes. He had long known about the Spirit Transmission Seal, knowing that Yun Xia came from the Immortal Realm and was a spy sent by the people of the Immortal Realm.

But Yun Xia’s Divine Consciousness had told him that he had no malicious intent, and even…

So Demon Lord had let him go, allowing him to stay by his side.

But what about now?

Raging anger drowned his reason, but the more it was like this, the calmer he appeared on the surface.

Underneath the clothes, the Devil Markings writhed restlessly.

Behind them, people came and went, but gradually, the area around the stall cleared out, the passersby looking at them with fear, whispering, some already saying they would call the patrolling demon soldiers over.

The implicated stall owner, seeing the situation escalating, persuaded again, “Um, listen to me, quickly reconcile and leave. It won’t end well if the demon soldiers come.”

Yun Xia was the most confused. He had no idea what had happened, but even if Esteemed Lord was an unpredictable and difficult person to fathom, he wouldn’t get angry at him for no reason.

“Your Lord, did something happen that I don’t know about? Are you misunderstanding something?”

He looked at him pleadingly, even proactively taking his hand.

Feeling the warm and soft touch of his hands, Demon Lord finally calmed down a little.

He carefully recalled what had just happened.

If the little liar really had such great ability, he wouldn’t be unaware. He had taught the little liar for so long, he shouldn’t be unaware of his capabilities.

Except for a passable cultivation base, he was practically a blank slate.

Such profound and strange spells didn’t seem like something he would know.

The matter needed further investigation.

Demon Lord’s expression finally softened little by little, and the aura around him also retracted.

The stall owner breathed a sigh of relief, wanting to say something, but as soon as he uttered a word, Demon Lord coldly swept him with his eyes, “Shut up.”

The stall owner was stunned, but good-temperedly shut his mouth, smiling at the two of them.

Demon Lord: “Then let’s go.”

Yun Xia nodded, both hands grabbing Demon Lord’s right hand, their fingers intertwining, looking very intimate, but at this moment, their hearts were furthest apart.

Yun Xia silently followed for a short distance, when suddenly the voice of the stall owner came from behind:

“Hey, young man, yes, you, come over. I’ll give you this doll as a gift, I hope you have a happy day.”

Yun Xia looked at Demon Lord, seeing that he didn’t object, he let go of his hand and ran back.

What he didn’t see was Demon Lord raising that hand, staring fixedly at it, the remaining warmth of Yun Xia’s touch quickly dissipating in the air.

He gently clenched his fingers, using more and more force…

In front of the stall——

“I’m giving this to you, don’t be unhappy, are you planning to participate in the Netherflower gifting tonight? Or just watching others give gifts?”

Yun Xia honestly shook his head, “Not participating, just watching.”

Time was too tight. Netherflower gifting not only required a gift but also personally finding the most beautiful flower to give along with it. He wasn’t prepared at all, and their main purpose here wasn’t to celebrate the festival but the task. Playing was just a cover to fool others.

“I see.” The stall owner suddenly beckoned Yun Xia with his finger.

Yun Xia: “?”

He leaned in.

Then he saw the stall owner pinching his fingers, forming a shielding talisman, encompassing only the two of them, and said to Yun Xia, “I’m meddling and telling you a heartfelt truth. Your little boyfriend’s aura is terrifying. I heard you call him Your Lord, so he must be some powerful figure. I can’t even see through him. I see that your cultivation base isn’t high. If he ever… you won’t be able to escape. You have to be careful and protect yourself. I’ve said all I can. Alas, I’m just being nosy, but I can’t bear to see you really encountering something in the future.”

Yun Xia’s eyes widened.

“Go, go, you can pretend I didn’t say anything.”

Yun Xia took the little gray dog doll, looking down at it blankly, then suddenly said in a low voice, “Thank you, Boss. Actually, I know that I… won’t be with him for long.”

The stall owner paused, smiling consolingly at him, “It’s okay, it’s good that you’re aware of it.”

Afterward, he released the shielding talisman, smiling and saying loudly to him, “Go, go, have a happy evening.”

Yun Xia ran back to Demon Lord with the gray toy, waved the little gray dog at him, and smiled brightly, “Look, it’s a gift from that boss! Isn’t it very similar to Gray Eyes? Haha, he will probably swallow this as soon as he gets it.”

Demon Lord looked at his smile, but for the first time, he didn’t want to see it. The more he looked, the more he wanted to erase the smile.

He expressionlessly reached out his hand.

Yun Xia’s expression froze. He didn’t quite understand what he wanted to do, so he hesitated for a moment, putting the little gray dog in his palm.

Before he could let go, Demon Lord suddenly tightened his fingers, grabbing his hand and the doll together, the force so great that Yun Xia winced in pain, frowning fiercely.

But he endured it and didn’t cry out in pain, just looking at Demon Lord expectantly.

Demon Lord glanced at him, his gaze passing over the stall, and said faintly, “Let’s go.”

He pulled Yun Xia away.

Yun Xia looked at their clasped hands. Demon Lord was still gripping him tightly, his hands already red, a trace of pain coming.

But it didn’t seem as uncomfortable as his heart.

After that, they walked for a long time, and Yun Xia could only glance around, because Demon Lord didn’t stop, nor did he let go of his hand.

Yun Xia felt the palm of his hand holding the little toy was wet, but he could only keep holding it.

The first time he had expected so much for holding hands, it would be like this.

It was really regrettable.

And the most important thing was, he didn’t know what Esteemed Lord had misunderstood.

Gradually, it got dark. Even though the Demon Realm didn’t have the sun, sunset, or twilight, there was light everywhere.

All kinds of lanterns, big and small, oddly shaped, made the whole Holy City dazzling, like a beautiful starry sky if viewed from a high altitude.

Everyone’s enthusiasm grew with the arrival of night, and everyone flocked to the center of the Holy City.

It was a huge square, much bigger than any square Yun Xia had ever been to in his previous life.

Anything important was held here.

The most recent time was a few months ago, when General Xiu Wu presided over the arrest of a large group of people related to the Three Kings who planned to take advantage of the opportunity to cause trouble. He had brought these people here, the whole city watching them being punished.

At the front of the square was the Demon Palace.

The Demon Palace was very large, encompassing the entire black mountain – the Demon Realm Holy Mountain. Yun Xia used to live at the top of the mountain and never came down.

Looking up from here, you could see the very spectacular Holy Mountain, the most distant place of the Holy Mountain was the most respected place of all the Demon Lords.

No one knew that their Esteemed Lord was by their side, with them.

Yun Xia wanted to talk to Demon Lord several times, but every time before he could open his mouth, he saw Demon Lord’s expressionless face, so he pulled it back.

He was very wronged, wronged and helpless. How could Esteemed Lord be like a child, throwing a strange temper, and dealing with it stubbornly. Speaking of stubborn, it was because Demon Lord had never paid attention to him, but he had never let go of his hand.

Since you don’t speak and don’t explain, then why should I take the initiative to look for discomfort?

Yun Xia gradually thought it through. It was such a big event, why should he miss it because of his mood?

So he no longer paid attention to Demon Lord, but focused on watching the people’s revelry below, watching couples dancing around, watching them take out carefully prepared beautiful flowers, watching the girls’ red cheeks, watching the boys scratching their heads shyly.

There were also very open-minded people who hugged their lovers on the spot and kissed them hard, dancing hand in hand in the cheers of everyone.

Demon Lord had found a high place for him, so he didn’t have to squeeze with them below.

But actually, Yun Xia preferred to go down, personally approaching them, feeling their happiness.

Even so, his face was still filled with an infectious smile.

What he didn’t know was that Demon Lord’s Divine Consciousness was standing in front of him, quietly watching him.

When Yun Xia saw two boys surrounding a girl to send flowers, gifts, and dance, he saw the two men pushing each other and comparing pectoral muscles. In the end, the two inexplicably stuck together, dancing a male couple dance, finally hugging and kissing.

Yun Xia was stunned, what was this operation?

He instinctively wanted to complain to Demon Lord, but when he looked up, he saw Demon Lord’s back.

Yun Xia’s expression froze, then the empty hand clenched into a claw, scratching Demon Lord’s back several times to relieve his anger.

He definitely didn’t dare to scratch really.

Demon Lord’s Divine Consciousness saw all his actions and expressions, and couldn’t help but raise the corners of his mouth and smile.

But soon, his mouth flattened, and he glanced at Drunken Inscriptions.

The two quarreling people didn’t manage to coax Demon Lord until they returned to the inn.

But at least when he arrived at the inn, Demon Lord let go of his hand.

Yun Xia rubbed his poor hand, and once again grabbed Demon Lord’s clothes.

At this time, the two were standing on the stairs, one above and one below, Yun Xia looking up at him, seeming to return to the past.

“Esteemed Lord, are you still angry? Is the misunderstanding cleared up?”

But he didn’t know that what Demon Lord was angry about now was not this, but his conversation with the stall owner.

The stall owner using such a low-level shielding talisman in front of the Demon Realm Supreme was simply an irony.

It wasn’t wrong to say the little liar was stupid.

Demon Lord smiled coldly, looking down at him and saying, “It’s cleared up.”

Even if Yun Xia didn’t hear the voice at the time, it could explain that he was still in contact with the Immortal Realm.

If he couldn’t get rid of the Spirit Transmission Seal, he could come to him, but Yun Xia didn’t, even still entangled in contact.

“Then, then do you still want to know what I was thinking at the time?”

“This Lord doesn’t want to know.” Demon Lord said coldly.

Yun Xia: “…”

He was already over a hundred years old, why was he so childish!

Yun Xia had a good temper, but it didn’t mean he didn’t have a temper. At this moment, he was also angry, glaring fiercely at Demon Lord, and leaving a sentence: “If you don’t want to know, then you don’t want to know!”

He went upstairs angrily.

Demon Lord didn’t expect him to dare to lose his temper with him on the spot, and was stunned for a moment.

Back in the previous room, both the squad leader and the demon guard were guarding the door here. When they saw him coming, they whispered “Young Master.”

Yun Xia said to Rong Feng calmly, “Where is my room?”

Rong Feng was a little strange and pointed to the door: “Young Master, it’s here.”

Yun Xia pursed his lips, “I don’t live here, Captain Rong Feng, please open another room for me.”

Rong Feng: “…”

He looked behind Yun Xia, didn’t answer him, but lowered his head.

Yun Xia knew it was Demon Lord, but didn’t look back, and still said to Rong Feng: “Then give me some money and I’ll open it myself.”

Rong Feng looked at him in surprise, sensitively noticing something. Without saying anything immediately, he looked at Demon Lord again.

Yun Xia: “………..”

Another lesson, without his own money, he had to look at other people’s faces in everything. It was too suffocating! !

He lifted his foot and left, he was even more angry, he would just sleep on the street!

Esteemed Lord was so unreasonable! It wasn’t his fault!

He didn’t say anything, he didn’t explain anything, like a mute

Was he easy to bully!

However, after only taking one step, his wrist was grabbed.

Without thinking, he knew who it was, but Yun Xia, although he rarely got angry, could be said to be ruthless to his relatives once he got angry, and he wasn’t even afraid of Demon Lord. He shook his hand hard.

One shake, he didn’t shake it off.

“………..”

Demon Lord pushed open the door and dragged him in, with a “bang”, the door closed.

The two demon guard captains at the door looked at each other, and both saw shock in each other’s eyes.

So they didn’t see it wrong, Lord Yun Xia was actually… losing his temper with Esteemed Lord?

This, this, this… was he really not afraid of death?

The two were in awe of Yun Xia in their hearts, and his status was approaching Demon Lord.

Inside the door, Yun Xia turned his head and didn’t look at Demon Lord. Demon Lord let go of his hand, raised his eyebrows, still very surprised.

The little liar really dared.

Seeing Yun Xia angry, his depression and hostility disappeared mostly. After a pause, he took the initiative to speak: “This is your room, where else do you want to go?”

Yun Xia turned his head and choked him: “Didn’t you not want to talk to me, why are you talking now?”

Demon Lord said with a dark face: “You are not allowed to go anywhere.”

Yun Xia glared at him: “You are unreasonable! I will not talk to you anymore!”

After finishing speaking, he turned his head and sat on the side, leaning on the window and really ignoring people.

Seeing him like this, Demon Lord was even more certain that Yun Xia hadn’t heard the message.

And he rarely saw such a side of Yun Xia, and he was vaguely happy in his heart.

He didn’t know what was so happy about.

The corner of his mouth moved, seeming to want to raise it, but he suppressed it halfway.

Suddenly, he noticed something, waved his hand, and disappeared into the room.

Yun Xia leaned on the window for a long time, enough for him to calm down.

Recalling what he had done along the way, he was still a little scared.

So his courage was so great.

He touched his chest, awesome, awesome, he could brag about it in the future, losing his temper at Esteemed Lord and still being able to live well.

And after he calmed down and carefully recalled the analysis, Esteemed Lord was indeed angry at the time, but he didn’t know why, and he couldn’t think of it even if he broke his head.

But it was over, Esteemed Lord had promised to leave with him.

But when he came back after talking to the boss, Esteemed Lord clenched his hand.

He was really stupid! Why didn’t he understand it all night!

Esteemed Lord must have heard what he said to the boss!

Yun Xia hammered his head, turned around and wanted to talk to Demon Lord, but Demon Lord was no longer here.

Sigh, annoying, he wanted to go out and chat with Wei Ying and the others, but there was a prohibition left by Demon Lord in the room, and he couldn’t even open the door.

He could only sleep.

So Yun Xia climbed onto the only bed in the room.

–

In the high sky outside the inn, two figures flashed and appeared in the dark night.

The Holy City was still brightly lit, and many people were still reveling, but no one knew that there were two people standing above their heads at this time.

Xiu Wu reported to Demon Lord in a low voice.

Demon Lord listened in silence, and after Xiu Wu finished speaking, he gently “hmm” sound.

Then he said: “Keep an eye on Drunken Inscriptions.”

Drunken Inscriptions?

Xiu Wu didn’t ask any more questions. What Esteemed Lord personally ordered was definitely not a trivial matter. He would stare firmly and not let go of any suspicious places.

“Yes, Esteemed Lord.”

Just as Xiu Wu was about to leave, Demon Lord suddenly opened his mouth: “Xiu Wu.”

Xiu Wu was startled: “Yes, Esteemed Lord.”

“Has this Lord’s temper become much better recently?”

Xiu Wu’s eyes couldn’t help moving in the direction of Demon Lord, and after touching Demon Lord’s young figure, he suddenly came back to his senses and immediately withdrew his gaze.

“This subordinate thinks… it’s better than before Lord Yun Xia came.” He cautiously replied.

“This Lord hasn’t killed anyone for a long time, but today I met a person, and at that moment this Lord really wanted to kill him.”

When Demon Lord said these words, there was a smile on the corner of his mouth, and his tone was strangelydense.

Xiu Wu’s body was cold, and his heart sank slightly.

Naturally, he couldn’t ask why, he could only say: “Esteemed Lord, do you still want to kill him now?”

“Now?” Demon Lord’s gaze fell to his feet, not knowing which light he was looking at, “Now I don’t want to anymore. There is a little guy next to this Lord. He can make this Lord’s killing intent appear, and he can also make this Lord’s killing intent disappear. Tell me, is this a good thing or a bad thing”

……

Xiu Wu swallowed hard.

It felt like a life-threatening question.

–

In the inn room.

Yun Xia was having a nightmare.

He thought he wouldn’t be able to sleep tonight, but he actually fell asleep.

It was just unfortunate that he started having nightmares and was also plagued by nightmares, his forehead covered in sweat.

At this time, a voice went straight into his sea of ​​consciousness, penetrating into his dream-

[Junior Brother Yun Xia, why are you with the Holy Lord of Demon Phoenix City? The people I sent saw you and the Holy Lord very close in the Holy City. When did you meet him? Did you rely on him to leave the Demon Palace?]

[Also, be very careful when contacting the people I send, don’t let people find out.]

[Finally, be careful, don’t easily trust anyone, even if the other person seems to be very good to you. Don’t let me worry.]

That was Xiao Nanli’s voice!

Yun Xia in the dream was experiencing extremely terrifying things, and Xiao Nanli’s voice turned into a hideous beast. With one mouth, it spewed out countless blood swords, shooting everyone on the ground through.

It was raining blood in the sky, and the Three Realms became hell.

Yun Xia struggled desperately to climb out of the pile of corpses, running in the rain of blood, running and shouting: “Esteemed Lord! Where are you! Esteemed Lord, Esteemed Lord, help!”

The surroundings were empty, only corpses remained, and he couldn’t find that familiar figure.

He ran so tired, he wanted to rest in that warm, wide embrace, but he could only collapse on the ground.

As soon as he finished speaking, the huge animal pupil in the sky aimed at him, and then the whole thing slammed down on him.

Yun Xia trembled all over, screaming in fright, only feeling that his whole body exploded and instantly lost consciousness.

In the dark room, Yun Xia burst out with all his demon chi, and everything in the room was destroyed instantly, but because there was a prohibition in place, the demon chi was bounced back, and a powerful force hit Yun Xia.

At the critical moment, Demon Lord appeared in the room, hugging the unconscious man in mid-air.

He said urgently: “Yun Xia!”
