TBOUMTBDK Chapter 34

Chapter 34: I Want to Kiss You Again, To Really Feel It…

Soon, demon soldiers appeared and took the men away.

Yun Xia watched with a bit of unease. How could a festival end in bloodshed?

The demon man who had suddenly lashed out, creating a black longsword, had stabbed the man who was embracing the woman right through.

It looked serious.

Yun Xia also snapped back to reality after the initial shock. It probably wouldn’t lead to death, but… he had a bad feeling.

Demon Lord: “Let’s go, let’s go up and take a look.”

Yun Xia: “Ah, okay.”

Yun Xia thought the Demon Lord didn’t like watching a spectacle, but he unexpectedly suggested going to see what was happening.

These kinds of matters were usually resolved in the Demon Court. Since it involved someone getting hurt, and especially hurt in the street, the Demon Court would directly hold a trial.

Many demons in the vicinity who were present came to watch, and suddenly the large open space outside the court was packed with people.

“Ah, this spot is so hard to see from.”

The Demon Court had a Prohibition Art set up, forbidding outsiders from using Demonic Energy, otherwise it would easily disrupt the trial.

Yun Xia could only pull the Demon Lord and squeeze into the crowd.

The Demon Lord grabbed his hand in return, ignoring the heavy Prohibition Arts, and directly appeared inside the court.

Yun Xia blinked and found himself standing below the solemn court. On both sides, there were dozens of demon guards standing silently, and next to them was the assailant who had been brought up.

Yun Xia was stunned, knowing that Esteemed Lord had brought him here.

Looking around, this Demon Court was quite majestic. Although it wasn’t as large or imposing as the Ten Thousand Demon Hall, it still adhered to some of the Demon Palace’s traditions: grandeur and sternness.

When people were in this kind of dignified and solemn atmosphere, even if they hadn’t done anything, they would inexplicably feel nervous, always feeling like the demon guards would rush up and suppress them the next second.

But Yun Xia wasn’t afraid at all, because the Demon Lord was by his side.

“Don’t worry, they can’t see us, nor can they hear us,” the Demon Lord said from the side.

“Mmm, Esteemed Lord, I’m not even afraid now. If it were before, I would definitely be nervous.”

“Nervous about what?” The Demon Lord directly held Yun Xia’s fingers, playing with them idly while waiting.

“It’s not that I’m nervous, it’s just that I would be timid. Now I’m not afraid at all. I guess it’s because I’ve been by your side for a long time and seen a lot of things.”

Like him, always entering and exiting one of the most imposing places in the Demon Realm, the Ten Thousand Demon Hall, and having seen so many important figures, it certainly couldn’t be compared to a small fry.

The Demon Lord curved his lips, hinting, “You only need to know that no one is like you, possessing such treatment.”

Yun Xia said smugly, “I know, after all, I’m very dear to your heart.”

The Demon Lord saw his cute appearance of shaking his head, and wanted to kiss him again.

He didn’t hold back, directly pulling the man into his arms, pinching Yun Xia’s chin.

Yun Xia was stunned, not knowing what he was going to do, “Esteemed Lord?”

“Do you like it?” the Demon Lord asked softly.

“Like… what?”

“Me…”

The Demon Lord deliberately paused, and Yun Xia’s heart suddenly pounded wildly.

“The treatment I give you.”

“…Why are you asking the obvious?”

Yun Xia leaned against his chest, his gaze involuntarily falling on the other’s lips.

He suddenly remembered that he had kissed Esteemed Lord just now.

After the previous kiss, he deliberately went to watch other people’s liveliness, only then forcibly lowering the temperature of his body. Then the stabbing incident happened, and he followed the crowd to squeeze over to watch the spectacle. He almost forgot.

Now, the Demon Lord was very close to him, within reach. Moving closer… he could kiss him…

Yun Xia swallowed hard, unconsciously recalling the previous touch.

Esteemed Lord’s lips were softer than he imagined, but he was too nervous and didn’t taste anything else. If…

The Demon Lord watched his expression gradually become lost in thought, slowly moving his hand from his chin to the back of his neck, gently pressing the man closer.

As if bewitched, Yun Xia moved closer little by little, half-heartedly resisting.

“What do you want to do?”

“Want…”

Want to kiss you again, to really feel it.

Esteemed Lord didn’t refuse, did that mean he could kiss him again?

Breaths intertwined, just as their lips were about to touch, a “slap” sound came from above.

Yun Xia shivered, suddenly snapping back to reality. After realizing that he had once again tried to take advantage of Esteemed Lord, he flusteredly pushed the Demon Lord away, wiping his face in a somewhat disheveled manner.

“I… I’m sorry Esteemed Lord, I, uh, didn’t mean to, it’s just…”

He thought it was his initiative, and was still apologizing.

Demon Lord: “…”

He ground his teeth, coldly scanning the judge above.

The judge sitting in the high place felt a chill all over his body, as if he had been locked on by something terrible for a moment, and the hairs on his body stood up instantly.

But it was only a moment, so fast that it seemed like an illusion.

His expression became solemn, and with another bang of the gavel, as if to embolden himself, he said in a deep voice, “Who is in the hall!”

Yun Xia was also startled by this second gavel, whispering, “The judge is quite imposing.”

After round after round of questioning, Yun Xia understood the ins and outs of the matter. It wasn’t complicated, and was similar to what he had guessed.

The demon man had grown hateful because of love, because he liked the demon woman too much and couldn’t bear her change of heart.

But he said that he didn’t want to hurt anyone at the time, it was just that he was extremely irritable at that moment, as if a force was constantly impacting his body, and he needed to find an outlet immediately. So he instinctively created a longsword and stabbed out.

He also said that he wasn’t usually such an impulsive person, and everyone’s evaluation of him was quite good. Now that he was awake, he was shocked that he would do such a thing.

Naturally, the onlookers thought he was quibbling, trying to get a lighter sentence for himself.

Even Yun Xia secretly thought, isn’t this the typical statement of those domestic abusers?

But the demon woman also agreed with the man’s words, saying that he used to have a good temper, so she was also very surprised.

But no matter what, the injury was already a fact. Just as the judge was about to pronounce the sentence, suddenly, the demon man who had been speaking well violently broke free from the suppression behind him, and pounced fiercely at the woman, his face full of murderous intent.

At that moment, Yun Xia thought he wanted to kill her on the spot, and was so shocked that he almost screamed.

And the fact was also so. If the demon guards on both sides hadn’t simultaneously knocked their spears on the ground, and a dozen black demon chains hadn’t tightly bound the man, the woman would probably have been injured as well.

All the people watching the spectacle were extremely angry. This was too arrogant. Under the Demon Court, in full view of everyone, he still dared to hurt someone?

Everyone constantly cursed the man, and after the man was bound and unable to move, he struggled hard for a few times before slowly calming down. Then he looked down at himself in horror, seeming unable to understand why he would do such a thing.

Because of his behavior, it took the judge some time to calm everyone down.

And Yun Xia frowned and asked the Demon Lord, “Esteemed Lord, is this… is there something wrong?”

His position allowed him to see the process of the man’s change of face clearly. It changed too suddenly, as if something was driving him to do so. After he calmed down, even he himself couldn’t believe it.

That expression was too real, it didn’t seem fake.

The Demon Lord nodded approvingly, “Not bad, you guessed right.”

Then, he said lightly to the judge above, “Adjourn the court, this matter is not simple.”

Yun Xia saw that the judge clearly heard these words. First, his expression turned cold, and he angrily swept his gaze around the court. But no matter how he searched, he couldn’t find anything unusual. He gradually calmed down, thought of something, and then decisively adjourned the court.

Regardless of everyone’s dissatisfaction, he dismissed everyone.

Soon, only the people in the Demon Court were left.

The judge walked down from the high place, and respectfully said to the air, “I wonder which Lord has arrived? Can you show yourself?”

After a long while, there was no response.

The other demon soldiers and guards were surprised, but they also bowed their heads respectfully.

Yun Xia was standing in front of the judge, and even walked around twice, confirming that the judge couldn’t see him.

“Esteemed Lord?”

The judge was starting to sweat. Did Esteemed Lord not like this judge? He thought he was quite good and fair.

The Demon Lord only revealed himself with Yun Xia when he looked over.

Two people suddenly appeared in the court. After the judge saw the Demon Lord’s appearance clearly, he was shocked and quickly bowed and saluted, “So it is Holy Monarch Liyu. Please forgive me for not knowing of the Holy Monarch’s arrival.”

“Mm.” The Demon Lord didn’t continue to make things difficult for him.

“Bring him over,” the Demon Lord said.

The Holy Monarch didn’t have much power in itself, but the Holy Monarch usually didn’t only have the identity of the Holy Monarch, and might have some powerful background behind him.

Seeing that this Holy Monarch Liyu could ignore the heavy Prohibition Arts of the Holy City Demon Court and enter here without being discovered by him, he knew.

The judge was very sensible, and didn’t dwell on his interference in this matter. He directly ordered someone to bring the demon man over.

The Demon Lord didn’t say much, his expression indifferent, and raised his hand to press it against the demon’s forehead in the air.

Then, dim black light flickered constantly, extracting something from the man’s body.

Yun Xia watched in surprise, it seemed to be a purple bead.

“This is… a Purple Demon Nucleus?” Yun Xia frowned. He remembered that during the great chaos in the Demon Realm in the future, a Purple Demon Nucleus was mentioned. The Purple Demon Nucleus existed in many people’s bodies, constantly releasing baleful chi, and the baleful chi could affect the demons’ Divine Consciousness, making them become manic and lose their rationality.

These Purple Demon Nuclei mostly existed in the bodies of young Demon Lords, able to amplify these people’s love desires, destructive desires, and killing desires, because young people’s emotions were richer and they were more likely to be impulsive.

“How does this little brother know that this is a Purple Demon Nucleus? What is a Purple Demon Nucleus?” the judge asked.

Yun Xia: “Uh, I don’t know, I don’t know anything. Isn’t it obvious, it’s purple, a demon nucleus, a Purple Demon Nucleus.”

Judge: “…”

The Demon Lord glanced at Yun Xia, not dwelling on the name he had given it, and didn’t look at the demon man who had fallen to the ground in pain because of the extraction of the bead.

“After the Purple Demon Nucleus is planted in a person’s body, it feeds on love desires, converting them into baleful chi to affect the Divine Consciousness, causing people to gradually become irrational beasts that only know how to constantly mate or kill.”

He paused, “The reason why it could be so smooth today is because it was the first time it acted up, because of the killing desire. If it wasn’t, then it wouldn’t be possible to know from the outside. Once the Purple Demon Nucleus fuses with the human body in the future, it will not be able to be taken out.”

Yun Xia pondered to the side. Yes, if the baleful chi initially amplified the love desires, then those demons would only keep doing that, probably initially thinking that their relationship was very good, and then loving each other more and more.

When the possessiveness became stronger and stronger, a little jealousy, or a quarrel, or other disputes, the baleful chi would suddenly amplify the negative emotions, and that would suddenly cause a catastrophe.

It would be too late by then, and the Purple Demon Nucleus would not be able to be taken out.

This passage had too much information, and the judge was stunned.

Was it so serious?

For a moment, he didn’t know where to start.

“…Baleful chi? But all demons have taken Baleful Chi Dispelling Pills. Logically speaking, they shouldn’t be affected by baleful chi anymore. Why…”

The Demon Lord glanced at him, and the judge’s whole body trembled, immediately understanding. This was someone’s deliberate doing!

“Who is it, why…”

The Demon Lord narrowed his eyes, and an aura that made people tremble condensed around him, “I’m afraid that not only the Holy City, but the entire Demon Realm already has many people who have been planted with the Purple Demon Nucleus, and have already been eroded by baleful chi.”

The judge looked at him in shock.

Yun Xia frowned tightly, adding from the side, “Their target is all the demons in the entire Demon Realm. They want to turn the Demon Realm back to the chaotic state of a hundred years ago. Judge, this matter is a big deal, and absolutely cannot be casually glossed over.”

How did you say it like the entire Demon Realm was going to be finished??

No, no, if you were bolder…

The judge wasn’t a hesitant person. After being shocked, he immediately analyzed in his mind. Observing the big from the small, if he were a little bolder, he was afraid that it would really be as they said.

“I will definitely report this matter to General Xiu Wu, and I’m afraid I will also need to report it to Esteemed Lord. We need to prepare early, find a way to find the people who have been planted with the Purple Demon Nucleus, and also find the person behind the scenes. This is too outrageous, daring to do this kind of thing in the Holy City.”

The Demon Lord nodded, “Today is the Netherflower Festival, and I’m afraid that the Purple Demon Nuclei in many people’s bodies have already been activated. Now, you increase your patrols and investigations. I will have people look for a solution.”

The judge didn’t mind his commanding tone at all, respectfully and gratefully nodding and responding, “Thank you, Holy Monarch. If it wasn’t for your discerning eyes, I’m afraid we wouldn’t have found anything. If we found out later, I’m afraid that many people would have already been controlled by the Purple Demon Nucleus, and I don’t know what kind of chaos there would be by then. I will definitely report your contribution to Esteemed Lord, and I believe that Esteemed Lord will see your contribution to our demons.”

The Demon Lord didn’t say anything about this, giving the Purple Demon Nucleus to the judge, letting him go through his procedures. Then, he took Yun Xia and left this place.

Yun Xia’s expression had been bad ever since he knew that this was the Purple Demon Nucleus.

He originally thought that there was still a lot of time before the great chaos in the Demon Realm, but he didn’t expect that there were already preparations so early.

The Demon Lord saw him frowning and thinking, and pinched his cheek, “What are you thinking about?”

Yun Xia said, “Esteemed Lord, did you come down the mountain this time because you also sensed something, so you came to investigate in person?”

Demon Lord: “Mm, I have been receiving some messages, but they were very vague and I couldn’t see the situation clearly at the time. It’s not just the Purple Demon Nucleus, there are other things that haven’t been investigated clearly.”

Yun Xia listened very seriously.

The Demon Lord was silent for a moment, then flipped his palm, and a full dozen Purple Demon Nuclei appeared in his palm.

Yun Xia was shocked, “So many? Where did these come from?”

The Demon Lord flipped his hand again, and the Purple Demon Nuclei disappeared, “These were found in the past few days, and there are far more than these. Xiu Wu is in charge of this matter, secretly investigating.”

Yun Xia was a little dazed, feeling that the situation was more serious than he thought. And at this time, it was best not to spread the word to make everyone pay attention, after all, baleful chi was best at amplifying people’s emotions. If it caused more disputes because of this, it would probably be even more chaotic.

They could only tell everyone step by step after controlling the situation.

“No wonder I haven’t seen them. So they went to do serious things. Then, Esteemed Lord, can I help with anything?”

The Demon Lord smiled and said, “You have already helped a lot.”

Yun Xia pointed at himself, “Me?”

“That day in the Ten Thousand Demon Hall, when dealing with those three Wang traitors, if you hadn’t suddenly appeared and interrupted This Lord, This Lord would probably have been affected by their desperate actions, thereby ignoring the problems I had discovered before.”

Yun Xia’s eyes widened, right! He remembered, he suspected that the Demon Lord’s drastic change in personality later was related to that time. He couldn’t be sure when he went, but he didn’t expect it to be true! Even the Demon Lord himself had noticed.

Yun Xia sincerely said, “Esteemed Lord, I’m really glad that I went to find you at that time.”

“You were accidentally injured by my Black Lotus at that time, don’t you feel wronged?” the Demon Lord’s brow furrowed slightly.

Yun Xia shook his head, “I don’t feel it, I just had a headache for a few days. And if I, as an individual, get injured a little, and it allows all the demons in the entire Demon Realm to avoid a disaster, then it’s a great deal.”

The Demon Lord’s eyes were deep and complex. The little idiot was clearly not a demon, so why was he thinking so much for the demons?

Could he really be an idiot?

He raised his hand and gently touched Yun Xia’s forehead. The Spirit Consciousness Sea was in there, and the seal that had cracked was also there, inside there was also the Heaven Piercing Seal… as well as that fatal Dark Violet Nether Bead.

“You little blockhead, can’t This Lord protect you?”

Yun Xia pulled down his hand, smiling at him until his eyes curved, “I naturally believe in Esteemed Lord. You are my thigh! The strongest thigh!”

“What do you mean?”

“It’s a backer.”

The Demon Lord chuckled, “Just a backer?”

Yun Xia looked at his smiling face, his little face turning red, “Also a boyfriend.”

Thinking, a temporary boyfriend, a permanent backer.

The Demon Lord’s wing-like long eyelashes trembled slightly, his voice slightly hoarse, “Let’s go, I’ll take you to broaden your horizons.”

Yun Xia was immediately interested, “What kind of horizons?”

“Purple Mist Pavilion.”

Yun Xia’s eyes widened.

He muttered in a low voice, “Why do you always want to take me to that kind of place?”

As expected, he was a heartless and unfeeling person. Although he was very good at teasing, he also had an unromantic side.

The Demon Lord suppressed the surging desire, if he didn’t go there, how could he broaden the little idiot’s horizons, and let you reveal your heart?
