TBOUMTBDK Chapter 7

Chapter 7: Heart Demon “Don’t be afraid~”

Yun Xia’s heart trembled fiercely, but when he looked again, that strange feeling had disappeared.

He cautiously sized him up, “Esteemed Lord, what do you mean?”

The Demon Lord lowered his eyes, looking at his own hand, and said calmly, “That is the heart demon I have bred.”

Heart demon??

Like a thunderbolt from the blue, every pore on Yun Xia’s body opened up.

Heart demons are inherently extremely dangerous. If one develops a heart demon, it must be dealt with immediately. Otherwise, one might become possessed, and even the demons would find it difficult to protect themselves.

The stronger the person, the more powerful the heart demon. Why would the Demon Lord suddenly develop a heart demon at this time?

He remembered that this plot point didn’t appear until much later in the original book, and it was a major scene in the original text at that time.

It shouldn’t appear in this small, little world!

He couldn’t help but stammer, “Then, then how could you… that heart demon can even directly come out of your Divine Consciousness, which means…”

A heart demon that can break away from the original body shows that it is already extremely powerful, but that takes time to grow.

It’s only been a few days!

He had the urge to turn around and run. Although the Demon Lord in front of him was still as calm as usual, how normal could a person with a heart demon be?

The Demon Lord didn’t seem to take this life-threatening situation to heart at all, and still looked calm: “When I was injured before, I was infected with a Nether Soul. When I was healing, the Nether Soul was detonated, helping to nourish the heart demon.”

Nether Soul?

Yun Xia immediately remembered that this was a very profound and obscure Prohibition Art. It usually has no effect on people, but once a heart demon is born, the Prohibition Art will automatically unlock, forcibly pouring the original body’s Cultivation Base into the heart demon. If this process cannot be stopped, the heart demon will eventually surpass the original body and become the master of this body.

In simple terms, this is an evil art that can kill a person.

The heart demon is not oneself, but a demon that has seized your body, your Cultivation Base, and possesses your memories, but has a completely different temperament.

“You should be able to suppress him, right?” Yun Xia was honestly afraid of that heart demon. Judging from its appearance, it was a bloodthirsty, deranged lunatic. If it were to come out again, he probably wouldn’t have a second chance to escape.

Under Yun Xia’s expectant gaze, the Demon Lord chuckled: “How to suppress it? Within the small world, my Cultivation Base is suppressed, but the Prohibition Art has not been suppressed. At this moment, it is wantonly devouring my Demon Nucleus in my Divine Consciousness.”

Then you can still laugh?

Yun Xia sat down on the ground.

He asked blankly, “Is there no way?”

The Demon Lord stroked his chin, and said with interest, “Tell me, what can be done?”

Yun Xia covered his head and racked his brains. There really wasn’t much he could do in this broken little world. No one could help, and his Cultivation Base was suppressed.

A flash of inspiration struck him, and he suddenly looked up: “Did you bring any Devilish Weapon Venerable Artifact in here…”

Before he could finish speaking, his forehead bumped against the other person’s chin with a thud.

It turned out that at some point, the Demon Lord had also bent one leg and sat down on the ground beside him, very close to him.

“Ouch, Esteemed Lord, are you alright? I didn’t mean to.”

Yun Xia covered his forehead, wincing in pain. Seeing a red mark on the Demon Lord’s chin, his hand moved faster than his brain and reached out to touch it.

He froze after touching it.

His eyes widened, one hand covering his forehead and the other on the Demon Lord’s chin, stiff as a wooden puppet.

“Mm, no.” The Demon Lord answered his two questions, neither rebuking him nor moving his face away.

His beautifully shaped eyelids drooped, and his eyes seemed to be saying: Continue.

Yun Xia didn’t dare to continue. He gave a dry laugh, reluctantly retracted his hand, and while rubbing his forehead, he scanned the man beside him with his peripheral vision.

Even sitting on the ground, the Demon Lord was neither cramped nor embarrassed. His posture was relaxed and casual, and his blood-like lips echoed his Red Eyes, making him look even more captivating.

Apart from the ominous sky and the strange situation in the small world, it seemed not much different from usual.

There was also one unusual thing: the Demon Lord was constantly staring at Yun Xia.

Yun Xia was a little afraid to look into those eyes. He licked his lips to suppress the anxiety and tension in his heart, and asked again, “You… why are you always looking at me?”

Demon Lord: “He wants to see you.”

Yun Xia: “……………”

I knew I shouldn’t have asked. How very bizarre!

But if he didn’t ask, he would feel uneasy, so he bit the bullet and said, “Wh-why does he want to see me?”

This time, the Demon Lord smiled without saying a word.

Don’t just smile and not say anything. I don’t even know how much you’ve been affected by the heart demon.

Oh right, Yun Xia swallowed and glanced at the Demon Lord’s neck. The Devil Markings were safely dormant beneath his clothes, so he should be safe for the time being.

Forget it, forget it. The emperor isn’t worried, but the eunuch is. He should trust the Demon Lord. The Demon Lord is the most mysterious big boss in this book, and it’s impossible for him to die like this.

Anyway, he can’t do anything, and being anxious is useless. The Demon Lord said there was no way, but Yun Xia didn’t believe it.

“Why aren’t you talking?” the Demon Lord said.

Yun Xia propped up his knees and hugged them, covered his stomach with one hand, rested his head on his knees, and said in a muffled voice, giving up all hope, “I’m so hungry, Esteemed Lord. I haven’t eaten anything for many days, unlike you, with such a high Cultivation Base.”

The Demon Lord raised an eyebrow, and a curve appeared on his crimson lips: “Are you being coquettish?”

“…No, really not.” Yun Xia buried his face in his knees, utterly embarrassed.

Suddenly, something warm touched his head.

Yun Xia looked up and saw the Demon Lord’s fair wrist in front of him, with faint bluish-purple veins visible under the skin.

Yun Xia: “?”

Demon Lord: “You can drink my blood.”

Blood?

Yun Xia jumped up as if electrocuted, scratching his head and smiling as he walked out: “That, Esteemed Lord, no need. I’ll go look around to see if there are any flaws or anything, and let the Wolf Demon come in and help. You must be fighting very intensely with the heart demon, so I won’t disturb you.”

He didn’t dare to look back and walked all the way out of the palace.

The Demon Lord did not follow.

Yun Xia didn’t dare to look back and walked all the way out of the palace.

The Demon Lord did not follow.

Only when he could no longer see the entrance of the main hall did Yun Xia pat his chest in fear.

The Demon Lord’s blood was too terrifying. Because the Esteemed Lord had seemed gentle and easy to talk to these days, Yun Xia had almost forgotten what kind of Demon Lord he was.

In the Holy City of the Demon Realm, one of the Demon Lord’s hobbies was to feed demon beasts with his own blood. If he was in a good mood, he would feed them a little less, and the demon beast would only suffer for a while before its Cultivation Base greatly increased. If he was in a bad mood, he would feed them more, and the demon beast would die in pain under the pouring of overwhelming and unbearable power.

The reason why the Wolf Demon was so afraid of him was not only because he was the Demon Lord, but also because it had been fed blood before and experienced that kind of pain.

And the Demon Lord was in a bad mood most of the time.

Just then, a shadow came running from afar.

Yun Xia saw that it was the Wolf Demon!

He hurried forward: “Why did you come in too?”

The Wolf Demon barked and shook its head.

Yun Xia: “Not here of your own accord? Does that mean that the entire small world has entered an abnormal state?”

Only the Demon Lord can enter the small world, and the Demon Lord is very likely to have some kind of connection with the small world, so will his state also affect the small world?

If so, the situation is very critical.

The heart demon is likely to break through the Esteemed Lord’s restrictions.

Yun Xia bit his lip and paced back and forth, thinking carefully that he can’t completely rely on the Demon Lord and not care at all. At least, he can’t be completely ignorant.

This paragraph is not in the original book, so what is different from the original book at this time?

Yes, isn’t it me?

My existence is the biggest change, because the original owner died at the hands of the Demon Lord not long after entering the small world. Is the heart demon because of me?

Why the hell would I make the Demon Lord develop a heart demon? Is that reasonable?

But if you calm down and think about it carefully, it’s actually reasonable – heart demons are indeed not easy to appear, but the Demon Lord is not an ordinary person, nor is he an ordinary demon cultivator. The source of Demonic Energy is inherently full of baleful aura, and the Esteemed Lord, who is the supreme of the Demon Realm, is naturally more likely to give birth to a heart demon.

The heart demon only needs a small trigger to be born, resentment, anger, hatred, love, joy, etc. When the heart demon is first born, it is not terrible, but the Demon Lord was infected with a Nether Soul.

The Nether Soul cannot be ignored. If you want to exert the greatest effect of the Nether Soul, it is actually in the small world, where the Demon Lord can be restricted to the greatest extent.

Yun Xia’s brain was running rapidly. All of this… could it be designed?

Someone attacked the Demon Lord, causing him to be injured and infected with a Nether Soul. According to his usual habits, the Demon Lord would go to a very safe Forbidden Little World to heal. Was the original owner deliberately arranged to come in by the Male Lead to induce the Demon Lord’s heart demon?

It’s just that the original owner didn’t succeed, but instead directly died in a big failure, so there was no series of plots after that.

But, he, transmigrated here.

By some twist of fate, the Demon Lord developed a heart demon because of him, perhaps because of a temporary interest, or perhaps because of the killing intent when he angered him…

In any case, he has filled in a paragraph of plot that the original book did not unfold.

This seems like a coincidence, but aren’t stories pieced together by various coincidences?

Next is the time to reap the fruits of victory – those who ambushed the Demon Lord!

Danger!

Yun Xia turned around and ran to the main hall to tell the Demon Lord to be careful and take precautions.

As soon as he entered the door and was looking around for that figure, a hand pressed on his shoulder from behind.

“You’re back.”

Yun Xia hurriedly turned around: “Esteemed Lord, I want to tell you, you must be careful…”

Before he could finish speaking, he was frightened by the Demon Lord’s face. He saw that the Demon Lord’s entire body had turned extremely pale, the previously inexplicably bright red lips had completely faded, and his clothes were soaked with sweat and stuck to his body. As soon as Yun Xia turned around, the Demon Lord lost his strength and pressed down on him.

“Esteemed Lord!”

Yun Xia hurriedly supported him.

The tall male body pressed down on him, and Yun Xia laboriously half-supported and half-hugged him to a corner, placing the person on a soft couch.

When he sat down, the Demon Lord’s heavy arm pressed on his shoulder, and Yun Xia was forced to kneel half-kneeling on the edge of the soft couch.

He looked down and saw that the Demon Lord no longer had his previous ease. His eyes were slightly narrowed, and a chilling aura emanated from his body.

It seemed that fighting with the heart demon in his Divine Consciousness was very strenuous, and even the extremely oppressive aura had dissipated.

Yun Xia wanted to stay away from him. Staying by his side made the hairs on his entire body stand on end uncontrollably, making people feel that he might want to destroy or attack something at any time.

He swallowed hard and looked up at him.

“Esteemed Lord, can you hear me?” Yun Xia said cautiously.

The Demon Lord closed his eyes and reopened them, his pupils much calmer. When he opened his mouth again, his tone was still calm and steady: “Mm.”

You are now Yun Xia’s greatest combat power, so you must hold on!

“Although I’m not very useful, if there’s anything I can do to help, please feel free to tell me.” Yun Xia said very sincerely.

“You,” The Demon Lord suddenly raised his chin, resting the other hand on the edge of the couch, bending slightly and leaning forward, tilting his head and saying with those Red Eyes that were barely suppressing the chaos.

If he ignored the current situation, Yun Xia would really be very happy to see the Esteemed Lord like this. The beauty was sitting by the bed, exhausted, but there was an extremely strong strength inside supporting him.

The superficial calm and the actual collapse and chaos formed a precarious balance. This tendency to collapse was leaked from the beauty’s extremely subtle trembling and the tremor in the depths of his eyes.

He seemed very fragile, but in fact Yun Xia knew that he was incomparably powerful. No matter how rampant the heart demon was, the Demon Lord had always looked at him calmly, and that body possessed unfathomable and powerful energy.

But Yun Xia also knew that the Demon Lord was not relaxed at this time, because the surrounding aura was becoming more and more chaotic.

Yun Xia was very uncomfortable, his eyebrows were tightly knitted. He nodded vigorously: “Esteemed Lord, listen to me, you must be careful of those demons who attacked you before. They may take advantage of your fight against the heart demon to deal with you. If they join forces with the heart demon, we will be in danger!”

The Demon Lord was silent, not saying anything about it. The fingers pinching his chin slid down, taking hold of the back of Yun Xia’s neck, just like he had imagined not long ago.

“You’re trembling.” he said, he lightly brushed Yun Xia’s wound by the heart demon.

The wound disappeared instantly, but Yun Xia did not notice.

He was very frantic and grabbed the Demon Lord’s sleeve: “Esteemed Lord!”

Why isn’t this person in a hurry at all? Didn’t you say it was very dangerous!

“What’s wrong,” the Demon Lord said with a smile, “Don’t be afraid.”

A figure appeared out of thin air to Yun Xia’s right, pinching his chin and turning him around, almost coinciding with the Demon Lord’s voice:

“Don’t be afraid~”
