TBOUMTBDK Chapter 4

Chapter 4: Startling Dreams at Midnight

Yun Xia slept until he naturally woke, feeling as if every bone in his body had gone limp.

Although last night had been quite the ordeal, and he even cried, the intense emotional release had instead left his mind blank, allowing him to fall into a deep sleep.

He woke up to find it was already past noon.

“So comfortable,” Yun Xia stretched languidly.

Ah, the beauty even wiped my tears for me.

Ugh—the image is a bit too beautiful, so dazzling it’s hard to look at.

He swore to the heavens, he hadn’t cried in ten years!

It was all that dog’s fault, oh no, that hellbeast.

Yun Xia shook his head, comforting himself, the Demon Lord is worldly and experienced, so ruthless, he must have made many people cry, I’m definitely not the only one who’s cried in front of him.

His ears were a bit hot, but his skin was thick, he climbed out of bed as if nothing had happened.

Just as he finished putting on his shoes and stood up to walk outside, he inadvertently turned his head and tripped over his own feet at the sight of himself in a large mirror.

“Tsk tsk, who is this artist?”

The person in the mirror was a mess, clothes disheveled, belt hanging down to his knees, outer robe loose and sloppy, and not to mention his hair. After a night of tossing and turning, half of his once neatly tied updo was barely holding on, while the other half had come undone, with strands sticking out in all directions, looking very stubborn.

It was as messy as a bird’s nest.

No, even calling it a bird’s nest would be insulting to bird’s nests, those are quite tidy.

Beneath the bird’s nest, the pretty boy’s face was still delicate, with a red mark from sleep imprinted on his cheek, making his skin appear even whiter, and in the sunlight, you could even see the fine down on his face.

Yun Xia rubbed his face, he knew his sleeping posture was unrestrained, but before he had short hair, so it wasn’t obvious, he didn’t expect long hair to become like this.

He started to untie the ribbon, his scalp stinging from being pulled because he wasn’t skilled enough, and it took him a long time to grit his teeth and finally get the ribbon off.

“Was I like this when I went to find the Demon Lord last night? Hmm… probably not, because he didn’t laugh at me. My image, oh, how did it become like this in just one day?”

Yun Xia mumbled, grabbing his long hair to style it.

He wouldn’t go out like this, he obediently used his fingers to comb his hair before leaving—there were no combs here.

After a long time, he barely managed to manually comb through his long hair.

The Demon Lord’s hair is so smooth, more natural than shampoo commercials on TV, it must be magic!

Yun Xia thought with certainty.

He tied his hair into a crooked, ugly, but cute updo, tidied his clothes, and left the room to wash his face.

Once awake, he began to think about how to cultivate.

Unlike those who started cultivating from scratch here and slowly formed their Demon Nucleus, he had never been exposed to Spirit Qi or Demonic Energy, so he didn’t know where to start. Therefore, Yun Xia believed that the most important thing was to first sense what these things were.

If this were the outside world, he could subtly inquire and learn from someone else, but this Forbidden Little World only had him and the Demon Lord, he couldn’t very well ask the Demon Lord for guidance, could he?

Eh? Besides them, there’s someone else! The Wolf Demon!

Yun Xia’s spirit lifted, it’s him.

You can’t catch a wolf without putting in the effort, Yun Xia entered the bamboo forest that was easy to enter but difficult to exit, he was going all out!

He hadn’t been wandering for long before he got lost in the forest, but he didn’t panic. According to his plan, he walked and shouted at the top of his lungs: “Hey—are you there? Handsome big doggie~”

He used a dog-teasing tone, recklessly shouting: “Good dog, come out for a bit, I have something to tell you~”

He even clapped his hands while shouting.

This trick was too mean, as expected, after only a few shouts, an angry roar rapidly approached from afar.

Listening to the booming, earth-shaking sound, Yun Xia’s legs began to weaken instinctively again.

He quietly leaned against a sturdy, thick bamboo tree, straightening his back.

Inside the Demon Lord’s bedroom, the man’s eyelashes fluttered slightly, and he slowly opened his eyes, revealing a pair of crimson, indifferent eyes.

He paused his healing.

His handsome face was expressionless, with his lips in a straight line.

The Devil Markings on his neck had already spread to the front of his ears, his skin cracked open, revealing the dark, withered flesh underneath.

Even though it was frightening, the man was still handsome, these Devil Markings actually added a touch of wickedness to him.

When alone, he was in this state. Even his trusted aides in Holy City wouldn’t dare to be careless when they saw him like this.

If Yun Xia saw it, he would be surprised at how different he was today compared to last night, as if they were two different people.

“Roar—wooo roar—”

The Wolf Demon’s howl came from the bamboo forest in the distance.

It wouldn’t make such a big commotion when nothing was happening, it must be that little thing.

Thinking of Yun Xia, the Demon Lord’s chilling icy demeanor actually melted away, gaining a trace of human warmth.

He stood up and disappeared from the spot the next moment.

The bamboo forest was a mess, with broken bamboo everywhere. On closer inspection, not all the bamboo was broken by force, but also a considerable amount was directly burned away by some kind of flame, the edges turning bluish-black.

The Wolf Demon’s Green Flames?

With another flash, the Demon Lord appeared near the Wolf Demon.

He saw the huge Wolf Demon spraying Green Flames everywhere, without holding back at all, venting its anger unrestrainedly. Yet, in contrast, it steadily carried a person on its back, none other than Yun Xia.

Yun Xia was riding on the hellbeast’s back, holding tightly to the slightly longer fur on the Wolf Demon’s ears, his body covered with a thin layer of gray Demonic Energy.

He turned his head and met the Demon Lord’s eyes.

The Demon Lord was almost burned by those glowing eyes.

“Your Venerable!” Yun Xia called out to him.

The last trace of displeasure from healing disappeared from the Demon Lord’s face, he glanced around and said: “You tamed it?”

The Wolf Demon had already stopped, and Yun Xia slid down from its back.

Hearing this, he waved his hand: “No, no, that’s impossible haha.”

Just kidding, this is your hellhound, how could it be tamed by me.

Yun Xia was very excited at this time, because he had sensed Demonic Energy!

The Demon Lord asked: “How did you do it?”

Yun Xia chuckled, first trying his best to retract the Demonic Energy on his body, and then he ran to the Demon Lord, saying as if presenting a treasure: “I just provoked it a bit, let it vent its anger, it doesn’t listen to me.”

“Let it vent its anger for what, I remember you were so afraid of it last night that you cried,” the Demon Lord looked at his vivid face and curved his lips, saying.

Ugh, don’t mention it, don’t mention it, I’m about to recall it!

Yun Xia scratched his ear a little embarrassedly.

The real reason naturally couldn’t be told to the Demon Lord, but he also had a countermeasure: “It’s your hellhound, I wanted to get along with it, but given our bad relationship last night, it was angry, of course it had to vent it out. I told it that if there’s a chance in the future, I will definitely fight it myself, if one fight isn’t enough, then ten fights.”

He glanced back at the Wolf Demon, moved closer, and lowered his voice: “I also borrowed your light, I tricked it by saying that if I get hurt, you will definitely punish it, so it didn’t dare to directly attack me.”

His eyes were extremely lively, and the black pupils sparkled like stars, incredibly vivid and lively.

The warm breath brushed against the Demon Lord’s neck, making his almost frozen skin feel alive.

So he lowered his eyes and said gently: “It’s not a lie, if it really hurts you, I will make it wish it were dead, until you feel appeased.”

As soon as these words came out, the one person and one beast present stiffened.

How could such cold words come out of your beautiful lips.

Yun Xia twitched the corner of his mouth, in the corner of his eye, the Wolf Demon had already started to tremble.

“Actually, there’s no need, Your Venerable, if it annoys me, I naturally have a way to make it obey me, so I won’t trouble you to worry about it.”

The Demon Lord smiled: “That’s fine too.”

Both the person and the beast breathed a sigh of relief.

Yun Xia wanted to continue cultivating, so he bid farewell to the Demon Lord and left in a hurry with the Wolf Demon.

Yun Xia spent the night in the bamboo forest.

Because of the Demon Lord’s appearance, Yun Xia spoke up for the Wolf Demon, saving it from a potentially terrible punishment. The two of them were considered to have truly reconciled.

Yun Xia was no longer afraid of it, and even wanted to take advantage of it.

“Do you know why I used to be afraid of dogs? It’s because dogs have no brains and can’t understand human language. You’re different, you’re the most spiritual and smartest kind of hellbeast, you’re not the same species as those stupid dogs at all, you’re too amazing…”

Yun Xia praised the Wolf Demon, making it feel comfortable all over. It cooperated with Yun Xia to continue cultivating, and Yun Xia used the Green Flames it spewed to gradually sense the Demonic Energy. The rest was to continue familiarizing himself and continuing to experience that mysterious feeling.

Demonic Energy is different from the Spirit Qi of the Immortal Realm, when touched, it has a faint, sharp, and fierce feeling.

This can affect one’s temperament, no wonder demon cultivators are not welcomed by the righteous Immortal Sects.

The more condensed the Demonic Energy, the stronger it is, and the Demonic Energy that Yun Xia can use is light gray.

Moreover, he had only just become familiar with it a little, and had only learned to turn on the switch, he didn’t know how to control it.

That night, Yun Xia slept directly next to the Wolf Demon, planning to continue cultivating the next day, so as to realize his ideal of Flight as soon as possible.

…

Again, it was late at night, the Wolf Demon was lying on a clearing, humming a bit unhappily, really wanting to get up and shake its body.

A slight breathing sound was hidden in the moonlight, it was Yun Xia, who was sound asleep.

Yun Xia fell asleep leaning on the Wolf Demon.

The Wolf Demon glanced at him, and finally lay back down, resting its head on its paws.

It thought, it was thanking him for what happened during the day.

The night breeze was a bit cool, Yun Xia turned over, burying himself in the Wolf Demon’s belly, and because he was too close, his facial features wrinkled from the coarse, stiff fur.

The Wolf Demon helplessly wagged its tail, encircling Yun Xia and shielding him from the wind.

It hadn’t closed its eyes for long when it suddenly felt that something was wrong. When it opened its eyes, it saw a pair of crimson pupils.

The Esteemed Lord!

It instinctively wanted to jump up, but before it could act, the Demon Lord raised a finger and gently pressed it in front of the Wolf Demon’s eyes.

The Wolf Demon was silently frozen in the air, only able to stare at the Demon Lord’s movements with its beastly pupils, unable to even turn its head.

The Demon Lord’s long robe reached the ground, he squatted down in front of Yun Xia, the backlight made it impossible for the Wolf Demon to see his face, it could only see a pair of red eyes.

Extremely eerie in the night.

The man’s long hair slipped from his shoulders, falling on Yun Xia, connecting the two people together.

He slowly reached out his hand, extending it towards Yun Xia’s forehead, lowering his eyelids, his indifferent gaze falling on the sleeping person’s face.

As if looking at an object.

His finger was the scepter that could determine life and death.

The change in light and shadow made Yun Xia a little uncomfortable, before the Demon Lord touched him, he casually turned over, facing the Demon Lord, completely exposing himself in front of the Demon Lord.

He even grabbed the man’s finger.

The Demon Lord’s movements paused.

“Hmm… Your Venerable, beauty… likes…”

Yun Xia smacked his lips, talking nonsense in his sleep, judging by his expression, he seemed to be having a good dream, with a faint smile on his lips.

The Wolf Demon saw everything clearly in the background, if it wasn’t frozen in place, it would have definitely run away. Are you afraid that you’re not dying fast enough? Saying such things in your sleep and letting the Esteemed Lord hear it?

Just when it thought the Demon Lord would not hesitate to turn Yun Xia into a tree vine, the man whose hand was grabbed by Yun Xia was silent for a long time, and suddenly smiled.

Even the moonlight dimmed.

“Little thing, I’ll let you off this time.”
