TBOUMTBDK Chapter 75

Chapter 75: Mockery

Yun Xia didn’t know what kind of psychological activity he had just gone through. Before, he could feel that Mo Jun Zhou was somewhat repelling him.

But now he couldn’t feel it anymore. Under those eyes, he only felt that Mo Jun Zhou had accepted him, and nothing else.

Like facing a stranger.

Although to Mo Jun Zhou, he was indeed a stranger at this moment.

Even the Demon Lord had never looked at him with such eyes.

This kind of him made Yun Xia a little lost, and his heart felt like it was pierced by the cold wind.

“This…”

“What’s wrong? Is this question difficult to answer?” Mo Jun Zhou seemed to have regained the initiative. He walked up to Yun Xia, raised his hand to the side of Yun Xia’s face, and kept two fingers apart as if he was about to touch him.

But the suspended finger didn’t fall for a long time.

This vague feeling forced Yun Xia to tremble a little.

“Not difficult, you like me very much.” Yun Xia’s Adam’s apple rolled slightly, he said.

“Oh, what about you?” The finger on his cheek moved, along the ear, stroking over the jawline. The faint touch made Yun Xia lift his chin involuntarily.

“Do you like me too?”

His voice was slightly deep, and the not-yet-fully-mature voice pressed down, gently stroking his eardrum, making people feel at a loss.

Yun Xia felt a subtle sense of shame, but he quickly brushed it aside.

He straightened his neck, staring intently at Mo Jun Zhou’s pupils, as if to give himself confidence: “Of course!”

Hearing this, Mo Jun Zhou smiled. He took a deep look at Yun Xia, and finally retracted his hand.

“Is that so? Okay, since that’s the case, I will cooperate with you well. Under your ‘persuasion’, for you, um… and for myself, I reluctantly agreed to return to the Immortal Realm with you. Li Yu Saint, right?”

Yun Xia: “…”

Mo Jun Zhou understood it very well, that was indeed the case, but… wasn’t the other meaning in this person’s words—although you like me and I like you too, that has nothing to do with the current me, because I don’t like you, but I will pretend that you are right, and I will cooperate with you in acting well.

He really was… infuriating.

“Then let’s go out and meet your ‘dear’ junior brothers and sisters.”

Yun Xia heard the faint sarcasm in his words, and a burst of anger welled up in his heart.

Alright, Mo Jun Zhou, you little brat, you’re still being sarcastic. If you weren’t the Esteemed Lord, I wouldn’t bother giving you this face.

But then, he deflated, what could he ask for?

The other party really had no feelings for him now, but!

Yun Xia took a deep breath, strode to the door, and under Mo Jun Zhou’s gaze, put his arm around his shoulder.

The two were pressed tightly together.

Mo Jun Zhou wasn’t used to these actions of his yet, and couldn’t avoid it for a moment, and his expression couldn’t hold back.

“No need to do this.” His voice sounded a little tight.

“Why not? Don’t you like me?”

Mo Jun Zhou tried to argue with him with evidence: “…But I just learned that you want to take me back to the Immortal Realm, and I haven’t fully accepted it yet.”

Yun Xia sneered, not bad, his understanding of his “persona” was quite thorough.

“But we are lovers, I guarded you for so many days before waiting for you to wake up. Don’t you know that saying, a day apart feels like three autumns? How many days have we not seen each other? Even if you are unhappy, don’t you feel sorry for me?”

Mo Jun Zhou froze. Yun Xia’s initial words made him want to break away from him, but the last sentence immediately made Mo Jun Zhou think of the conversation he had heard from those people not long ago.

Yun Xia seemed to have suffered a lot for him.

Before he could say or do anything, Yun Xia had already pushed open the door and led him out.

Outside the door, Huai Ying and the others were sitting on the other side, seemingly talking about something. They immediately stood up when they saw the two of them coming out.

“Eh? You woke up so soon? Congratulations, Yun Xia Senior Brother, you’ve been waiting for a long time, right.”

Mo Jun Zhou coldly swept his gaze over them and didn’t speak.

Yun Xia didn’t forget the matter at hand and introduced them one by one. Huai Ying’s side was fine, but Mo Jun Zhou’s attitude was always cold. Yun Xia didn’t know if he was fulfilling his persona or because he had been hugging him all along.

But it had to be said that as the Demon Clan’s Holy Lord, this attitude was correct at this time. Huai Ying and the others had no doubts about it.

Because Mo Jun Zhou had just woken up, Huai Ying and the others didn’t let him stay outside any longer. After a few polite words, they asked Yun Xia to send him back.

Yun Xia knew that they still had things to say, and originally planned to send him back to his room, explain a few things to Mo Jun Zhou, and then come out. But as the two walked to the door, Mo Jun Zhou propped one hand on the door, raised his eyes and glanced at them coldly, dropped a sentence “I’m going to rest now” and closed the door on his own.

Leaving the remaining few looking at each other.

Huai Ying considerately said, “Why don’t we go over there and talk?”

Yun Xia nodded with a strained expression.

Zhu Wan’er glanced at Yun Xia and sighed silently. When Gong Qiu was about to open his mouth to speak, she pulled him back and gave him a look.

Gong Qiu looked carefree, but he wasn’t stupid. He closed his mouth and followed the others to Huai Ying’s room.

As soon as Yun Xia sat down, Gong Qiu went to pour a glass of water and delivered it to him: “Yun Xia Senior Brother, drink some water, your lips are a bit dry.”

Yun Xia thanked him and took it, moistening his lips.

Huai Ying said cautiously, “Yun Xia Junior Brother, have you told him?”

Yun Xia nodded.

“Ah, actually, this result is considered good. The Holy Lord is the Holy Lord after all. It’s already good that he didn’t speak ill of us, which shows that he has initially accepted it.”

“But looking at his attitude, didn’t he notice that Yun Xia Senior Brother’s face was not good? Yun Xia Senior Brother is so deeply devoted to him, but he…” Zhu Wan’er was still somewhat dissatisfied.

“Maybe the matter was a bit too shocking for him. We outsiders should not say too much about the things between them. They have their own way of getting along and their own way of thinking.” Huai Ying said.

Then, he carefully asked Mo Jun Zhou’s attitude towards their plan. If Yun Xia hadn’t been prepared long ago, with his current state, he might have been found out.

Huai Ying was their senior brother after all, with a meticulous mind and a serious attitude. He had to make sure that Mo Jun Zhou agreed to go back with them.

Therefore, Mo Jun Zhou’s attitude just now actually increased the credibility.

By the time Huai Ying was satisfied and was about to let him go back, it was already an hour later.

Yun Xia was physically and mentally exhausted and still had to maintain his expression to deal with them, not daring to relax in the slightest.

Because although Huai Ying seemed to be on his side and had a good relationship with him, and trusted him after all the previous events, Yun Xia knew that if something really went wrong on his side, these people would definitely turn against him.

After all, they were all doing undercover work. No matter how friendly or careless they seemed, they couldn’t possibly be brainless fools.

Finally, at the end, after discussing the serious matters, the few people began to chat casually, and talked about Mo Jun Zhou’s attitude just now—

“Go back and have a good rest. You should be relieved now, right? He has already woken up. The most difficult time has passed, and it will only get better and better afterwards.” Huai Ying stood up and patted Yun Xia on the shoulder.

Yun Xia twitched the corners of his mouth. How did he feel that the difficulties had just begun?

“Actually, it’s not that we can’t understand him. Just by looking at him, we can tell that he has arrogance. The high and mighty Holy Lord has fallen to this point, and is holed up in this kind of place. To be honest, it’s quite suffocating, not to mention the matter of returning to the Immortal Realm.” Gong Qiu looked sympathetic.

Zhu Wan’er said pre-emptively, “We will also build a good relationship with him during this period, at least get closer. We haven’t left the Demon Realm yet. When we encounter various things in the Immortal Realm, he may be even more… With us around, we can at least soothe some of his, uh, unease.”

Yun Xia glanced at her, very clear about what she meant, referring to Li Yu Saint’s self-esteem.

“Don’t worry, the higher-ups attach great importance to him and won’t give him too much of a hard time. It’s more like an exchange of interests. Otherwise, don’t even mention going to great lengths to bring him back. In Holy City, we might have to take advantage of his weakness to… cough cough, sorry, Junior Brother.”

Yun Xia shook his head: “I understand.”

Huai Ying sighed, got up and brought some food over.

“Here, take the food in with you and see if he likes it. These are all specially bought back from the city.”

When Yun Xia looked, it was a box of pastries from Ningwenfang, which looked very exquisite and beautiful.

Yun Xia showed his first smile: “Thank you, Senior Brother.”

“You’re welcome, go back quickly.”

Leaving Huai Ying’s room, Yun Xia slowly walked towards his and Mo Jun Zhou’s room.

As he walked, he thought, now that Mo Jun Zhou was awake and Huai Ying’s side had been settled, then the last problem remained.

That restriction.

He originally thought that this problem could be easily solved when Mo Jun Zhou woke up. Yun Xia 100% believed that Esteemed Lord could solve it when he woke up.

But the one who woke up was not the Demon Lord, but Mo Jun Zhou.

The key was that Mo Jun Zhou didn’t have this restriction in his body at this time, so how could he explain it? Even the Saint Lord had no reason to place a restriction in his body that would imprison him in the Demon Realm, right?

Who would do such a thing?

He paced outside for a long time. Because the courtyard was not big, Huai Ying and the others all knew, but they considerately didn’t come up to look for him, and stayed in their own rooms.

Until a door suddenly opened, Yun Xia was stunned. The door in that direction was…

Turning his head to look, it was indeed his room.

Mo Jun Zhou stood at the door, looking at him without much expression, and didn’t speak.

Yun Xia: “?”

Mo Jun Zhou: “…”

Yun Xia: “??”

Mo Jun Zhou was willing to speak: “Come here.”

It was what Esteemed Lord often said to him, but at this time it was a slightly different flavor.

Yun Xia looked at this face and suddenly laughed out loud.

Mo Jun Zhou narrowed his eyes and stared at him for a while, then turned around and went back.

But the door was left open.

The little bit of haze in Yun Xia’s heart disappeared a lot at once. He smiled and chased in, closing the door.

Another door opened quietly, and a person walked out. Almost at the same time, the other two doors also opened. The three looked at each other and smiled in unison.

In Huai Ying’s room.

“Hahaha, so Senior Brother and Senior Sister, you were all secretly watching them.” Gong Qiu said.

“Cough cough, I saw Yun Xia Junior Brother was always in the yard, so I was a bit worried.”

Zhu Wan’er smiled, “I said that they would be fine. Li Yu Saint… I don’t know him very well yet, but it looks like we don’t need to worry too much. I really didn’t expect him to open the door first.”

Gong Qiu: “Yes, I almost couldn’t help but open the door to talk to Yun Xia Senior Brother. I felt sad just looking at his back. Fortunately, fortunately.”

“Okay, let’s not talk about these things first, Gong Qiu. We will go to the city again in a few days. The person has already woken up, and we may leave at any time.”

Gong Qiu straightened his face: “Okay, Senior Brother.”
