TBOUMTBDK Chapter 50

Chapter 50: Do you want me to strip for you to see?

Before, he always minded that the Demon Lord had no heart, but he didn’t expect him to have gone through so much.

Putting himself in his shoes, if it were him, and everyone who followed him died tragically because of him, leaving only himself.

Then he would probably choose to become stronger by any means necessary.

Strong enough that no one could take away everything he cared about.

Compared to what he gained, that little bit of loss was nothing.

Yun Xia’s world seemed to be swaying, his vision blurred.

The Demon Lord saw him burst into tears as soon as he came back and hurriedly raised his hand to wipe them away, saying, “I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have let you see those.”

The corners of Yun Xia’s eyes were slightly red. He closed his eyes obediently and let the Demon Lord wipe them, carefully savoring his tenderness.

When he closed his eyes, the last image of Mo Jun Zhou in the illusion was still in front of him. It turned out that those red eyes, the black Devil Markings, and the stopped heart were all the price.

Red Eyes had already become his symbol, and now the Devil Markings would no longer cause the Demon Lord pain. He had been in pain for so many years, he must be used to it.

Thinking of this, Yun Xia opened his eyes and said in a low voice, “Esteemed Lord, can I see here?”

He pointed to his chest.

The Demon Lord paused, and then said with a smile, “Do you want me to strip for you to see?”

Yun Xia looked up and said solemnly, “Yes, I want to see.”

The Demon Lord met his serious gaze, without a trace of distracting thoughts, and was slightly stunned, realizing something.

Then he put away his smile and said, “Okay.”

Yun Xia took the initiative to pull open the Demon Lord’s upper garment, revealing the man’s upper body.

If it had been before, he would probably have been shy for a while, but now, he quietly looked at the smooth, white chest, with a black lotus engraved on his heart.

The black lotus was lifelike, like a real flower, obviously very beautiful, but it left a deep mark on the white skin.

At this time, the black lotus did not have any Devil Markings extending out, representing that the Demon Lord was in a good mood and had no negative emotions.

Yun Xia stretched out his finger and gently touched the lotus flower.

The touch was rough, and the black part was not just color, but real scars, and permanent ones.

As long as the black lotus was still there, it would exist forever.

He looked at the black lotus, gently stroking it, as if trying to smooth out so many years of pain.

“Are you feeling sorry for me? Actually, I don’t feel anything anymore.”

The man had long been used to the pain of his skin tearing apart. Instead, Yun Xia’s small hand tickled him.

Just looking at Yun Xia’s expression, he knew he was thinking about something, so the Demon Lord didn’t want to interrupt him and had to endure it.

But Yun Xia didn’t notice the Demon Lord’s thoughtfulness at all. As he stroked, he actually moved closer, his breath spraying on his bare skin.

The Demon Lord’s body stiffened rarely, watching Yun Xia slowly approach, and drop a light kiss on the black lotus.

Then he looked up, pressed his chest and said, “Does it really not hurt at all anymore?”

Demon Lord: “…”

He pinched Yun Xia’s fingers and lowered his head to bite Yun Xia’s lip.

The bite was quite hard, and Yun Xia’s body trembled with pain, but he didn’t dodge.

“Don’t provoke me randomly. It hasn’t hurt for a long time. What’s wrong, are you really feeling sorry?”

Yun Xia licked the red mark that had been bitten out and lowered his eyes.

“How could I not feel sorry?”

It’s not like he has no heart. He felt so sorry that he didn’t even want to leave.

He didn’t expect to learn those things on this night.

On the night before his plan.

Thinking of tomorrow’s plan, he didn’t want to face it.

“Feeling sorry, huh?” the Demon Lord murmured in a low voice, so softly that Yun Xia didn’t even notice it.

Yun Xia didn’t want to think about leaving at this time, he just wanted to escape temporarily.

Evasion is shameful, but useful. At least tonight, he didn’t want to go to sleep with such uncomfortable entanglement.

He said, “Esteemed Lord, let’s go to sleep.”

The Demon Lord raised an eyebrow, “How should we sleep?”

“Of course, we’ll sleep normally!”

Yun Xia cheered up, pulled the Demon Lord to the bedside, and pushed him up, “Sleeping is actually a very happy thing, isn’t it? Maybe you can even dream of some beautiful things in your dream.”

“What if it’s a nightmare?”

Yun Xia thought for a while and said, “If it’s a nightmare in the dream, you’ll find out that it was just a nightmare when you wake up. Isn’t that a good thing too?”

The Demon Lord chuckled, “You really know how to comfort yourself.”

His clothes had already been pulled open by Yun Xia and hung loosely on his body. He lay on his side on the bed, his clothes draped softly over his shoulders.

That thick black hair fell all over the bed, like a beauty waiting for Yun Xia to favor her.

Yun Xia: “…”

He swallowed and thought, yes, just throw the troubles to tomorrow’s self. Don’t waste any more time tonight.

So he climbed onto the bed, let the cheerful little sun of the past return, and said, “My beloved consort, I’m here~”

The Demon Lord was very willing to go along with him, “How do you want to favor me?”

Yun Xia couldn’t win against him in saying flirty things, so he could only take action. He pounced on the bed, covered the Demon Lord’s eyes with both hands, and said, “I order you to sleep! Close your eyes!”

The Demon Lord didn’t speak, just smiled at the corner of his mouth, and didn’t pull his hand down.

After a while, Yun Xia took away his hand and found that the Demon Lord was still looking at him with his eyes open.

“Why aren’t you sleeping? Didn’t we agree to go to sleep together and have a good dream? I promise, with me by your side, you’ll definitely be able to have a good sleep!”

The man said softly, “You sleep, I want to watch you.”

Yun Xia choked immediately.

It was okay when he didn’t know, but now that he knew, how could he sleep?

Yun Xia lay down awkwardly, found a comfortable position in the Demon Lord’s arms, hugged the man as a large pillow, and said, “Why don’t we sleep together first, and you can watch me after I fall asleep? Otherwise, I won’t be able to sleep.”

He yawned. He hadn’t slept well these past few days. At this time, he let go of his worries and lay comfortably in the arms of the person he liked. Sleepiness suddenly surged.

The Demon Lord closed his eyes, “Okay.”

Yun Xia was a little stunned. He closed his eyes for a while, then opened them again, and sure enough, he saw that the Demon Lord still had his eyes closed.

So obedient?

He hooked the corner of his mouth and said softly, “Good night.”

Then he gradually fell asleep.

When he heard his steady and long breathing, the Demon Lord slowly opened his eyes and looked at the sleeping person.

He didn’t know how long he had been watching, but suddenly, Yun Xia frowned, as if he had dreamed of something bad, and the corners of his mouth were pursed.

The Demon Lord raised his hand and rubbed his brow with his thumb, trying to smooth out the lines here, and said softly, “Are you having a nightmare?”

Yun Xia didn’t answer him, but buried his face deeper into his chest and hugged his waist tightly.

Then, he called out in a sleep-talking voice, “Jun Zhou…”

The Demon Lord was stunned.

“Did you dream of the former me?”

He slowly stretched out his hand, paused in the middle, and finally pressed his hand on his forehead.

……

The next day, Yun Xia didn’t even come back to his senses when he woke up.

He dreamed of the young Mo Jun Zhou.

The person in the dream was even younger than him, walking alone in the ruins.

Yun Xia followed him closely, following him past one looted village after another, one empty city after another.

No matter how Yun Xia talked to him, or even pulled him, Mo Jun Zhou didn’t react at all.

Although he could touch the person, the other party didn’t seem to care about him at all, letting him pull him without giving any response.

Yun Xia had tried all kinds of methods in the dream, but he still couldn’t make the other party show a little smile or any other expression.

Just like in the illusion before, he could only watch, but was powerless to do anything.

Finally, Mo Jun Zhou led him to an endless cemetery and suddenly looked up at Yun Xia.

Yun Xia was overjoyed and hurriedly said, “Do you want to talk to me?”

Mo Jun Zhou smiled slightly at him and said, “In the future, can you always stay with me and not leave me like them?”

Yun Xia was stunned.

He woke up from this daze, and when he opened his eyes, he was sleeping on the bed, but the Demon Lord was gone.

Yun Xia was inexplicably flustered.

Today was the day Xiao Tongfu was coming to discuss things with him, indicating that the time had come, but he hadn’t decided yet.

At this time, the Mo Jun Zhou in the dream appeared in his mind, and that sentence echoed in his ears.

Yun Xia suddenly thought, did he really want to leave?

Of course, he was reluctant and unwilling. He liked the Demon Lord so, so much.

He would never be able to tell that boy his answer.

But… he couldn’t stay with the former him, but he clearly had the opportunity to stay with the current him.

The Demon Lord hated betrayal the most and was extremely possessive. These could all be seen from his past experiences.

If he ran away like this too, would it be a kind of betrayal?

It should be, because he still wanted to run back to the Immortal Realm. If the Demon Lord knew about this, wouldn’t it be a proper betrayal?

Yun Xia swallowed, it seemed… the risk was quite high.

Then what if he didn’t leave?

There were many advantages to not leaving. He could stay with the person he liked, and following the powerful Demon Lord should be safe for a long time. Cultivating with a powerful figure would be effortless with the Demon Lord’s guidance.

The downside was… love.

It was said that there were so many worries because of love. When he didn’t like the Demon Lord that much before, he could still think calmly that even if the two didn’t have any feelings for each other, staying together for a while longer would be a gain, and even playing little lovers with the Demon Lord was him taking advantage.

Now that his feelings had deepened, was he going to take a step back?

Yun Xia slapped his forehead hard.

Forget it, the Esteemed Lord has no heart, it’s enough for him to have one!

A person without a heart could still reach the level of the Esteemed Lord, what else was he not satisfied with!

Yun Xia understood. He was just too entangled in what love was before. How could he say that the Esteemed Lord didn’t love him like this?

He immediately stood up and paced around the room.

Although he didn’t plan to return to the Immortal Realm, he didn’t intend to withdraw the previous arrangements either. He still wanted to send those Immortal Realm spies away.

After thinking clearly, Yun Xia looked at the sky. It was time to set off.

Outside the door, the two Demon Guard captains diligently guarded the door. Yun Xia greeted them normally, and then saw Huai Ying.

Huai Ying nodded to him. The two walked together as usual. Even Rong Feng was used to it and didn’t react at all.

It was just that after Yun Xia went downstairs, Rong Feng glanced in the direction of the stairs.

Huai Ying led Yun Xia to the inn where they had first gathered. After walking into the room, Yun Xia glanced inside. Besides Gong Qiu and Zhu Wan’er, there was also an unfamiliar figure.

That person was wearing a cyan robe, with broad shoulders and back. One hand was placed on the table and the other was supporting his knee, looking very calm.

Hearing the sound, he turned around, revealing a face that looked quite calm.

However, this person looked Yun Xia up and down, the corners of his mouth were pressed down, making him look a little fierce, and his eyes were unceremonious.

Yun Xia frowned slightly.

This person’s gaze made him feel uncomfortable.

Huai Ying said, “Senior Brother Xiao, this is Junior Brother Yun Xia. Junior Brother Yun Xia, this is Senior Brother Xiao Tongfu, a direct disciple of the Great Elder.”

But that Senior Brother Xiao was still looking at him, without saying a word. It wasn’t a bad expression, but it was definitely not a good one.

Yun Xia had heard before that this Senior Brother Xiao didn’t get along very well with Huai Ying and the others. Now that he saw it, it was indeed the case.

He pretended not to see Xiao Tongfu’s rude gaze, put on a smiling face, and opened his mouth with a polite remark: “So this is Senior Brother Xiao. Seeing is believing, Senior Brother Xiao is indeed young and promising.”

One sentence diluted the somewhat awkward atmosphere.

Xiao Tongfu’s eyebrows moved, and he nodded, “You are the Yun Xia that Xiao Nanli raved about?”

Yun Xia said with a smile, “If there is no one with the same name and surname as me, then it may be me. However, Senior Brother Xiao has praised me too much. Elder Nanli is just being polite. I rely on luck to have been in the Demon Palace for so long. When it comes to strength, I still have to rely on Senior Brother Xiao.”

He was already paving the way for the fact that he couldn’t follow them to deal with the Venerable Li Yu.

Xiao Tongfu didn’t express anything, picked up a cup of tea and drank it, and said leisurely, “You don’t have to belittle yourself. It’s already very good to be praised by someone like Xiao Nanli who has high standards.”

These words were a little rude. Huai Ying, Gong Qiu, and the others changed their expressions when they heard this. Gong Qiu even wanted to open his mouth, but was stopped by Zhu Wan’er’s glare.

Yun Xia’s expression remained unchanged, and he laughed heartily: “It’s really not that I’m belittling myself. If I could really solve everything alone, I wouldn’t need Senior Brother Huai Ying to invite Senior Brother Xiao. I wonder what Senior Brother Xiao’s plan is for the matter of the Venerable Li Yu?”

He very smoothly and naturally led the topic to the main point.

A profound look flashed in Xiao Tongfu’s eyes. This person was indeed better than these few wastes. Although his strength was average, his character was okay.

“Before talking about that matter, there is something that must be done.”

Yun Xia: “Senior Brother Xiao, please speak.”

“In the Three Kings incident a few months ago, you were involved in it, even very deeply involved. You lived with that Demon Lord in the Forbidden Little World for so long, but you actually came out alive in the end. The Demon Lord has never taken anyone in there before. And in the Demon Palace, you were originally just an unknown little demon servant, but after leaving the Demon Palace, you jumped to become the most favored person in the entire Demon Palace in a short period of time, and you can even get in touch with the Venerable Li Yu and be so close to him.”

Huai Ying and the others were stunned, vaguely feeling that Xiao Tongfu’s words had a hidden meaning.

Yun Xia’s eyes narrowed slightly and he said, “What exactly does Senior Brother Xiao want to say?”

“You should know that after the fall of the Three Kings, all the people we planted in the Holy City and even the Demon Palace are gone, only you, on the contrary, are getting better and better, your status is soaring, you are showered with favor, and you have actually become a popular figure in front of the Demon Lord. It is said that the Demon Lord has always liked you very much. Moreover, you have never actively contacted the people outside the Holy City after that. It’s really very strange. Are you still one of us in the Immortal Realm?”

Huai Ying opened his mouth in astonishment. What did Xiao Tongfu mean? Was he saying that Senior Brother Yun Xia… had betrayed them? And defected to the Demon Lord??
