TBOUMTBDK Chapter 8

Chapter 8: Little Fool “You’re good at sweet-talking people.”

Yun Xia’s pupils shrank.

Two identical people, one on each side, trapped Yun Xia between them. Yun Xia was held by the neck and his chin was pinched, making it almost impossible for him to move.

The heart demon broke through the Demon Lord’s restraints and came out! This meant the heart demon had seized a great deal of the Demon Lord’s cultivation base and was now enough of a threat to the main body.

The next moment, boom—

The Demon Lord flew out, crashing heavily into the wall before falling to the ground, surrounded by fallen stone debris.

He sat by the wall, head drooping, his long, black hair spread like ink all over him and the ground. It was an unprecedentedly disheveled state.

Through his falling hair, one could only see his straight nose and half of his face. He remained motionless.

The heart demon picked Yun Xia up like a chicken, then sat on the couch, placing Yun Xia on his lap.

The heart demon laughed wildly, “Hahahaha, we meet again, little thing.”

In order to avoid bumping into the heart demon, Yun Xia was forced to press against his chest, leaning back as much as possible. He felt the heart demon’s pectoral muscles were extremely resilient and strong, and those red eyes were especially arrogant and unrestrained.

He had a face identical to the Demon Lord’s, but his temperament was completely different, his entire being exuding wickedness and frivolity, with a smear of blood on his lips.

Yun Xia reflexively covered the spot where he had been bitten, only now realizing the wound was gone.

It was Esteemed Lord who had healed him!

“Um, hello, hello, why don’t you guys put aside your personal grievances and deal with the external enemy together? If someone breaks into this Forbidden Little World to deal with you now, and you haven’t even seen the outside world yet, wouldn’t it be a pity to die like this?”

He tried to fool the heart demon into working with the Demon Lord to eliminate possible traitors first.

The heart demon’s lips were raised high, and he fondled Yun Xia as if he had acquired a beloved toy, and upon hearing this, happily said, “It doesn’t matter, if they dare to come, I’ll make sure they can’t leave. I’ll go to the outside world sooner or later. Little thing, you’ll stay by my side from now on, and no one will dare bully you.”

You’re bullying me right now!

The heart demon’s fidgety hands kept pinching him all over, treating him like a soft, cuddly doll, playing with him with great relish.

But Yun Xia wasn’t a real doll. Wherever the hand touched, his muscles and bones cracked, and he couldn’t help but tremble in pain.

The fear of having his bones crushed at any moment washed over him. Yun Xia tried hard to push him away, but found his strength was as limp as a doll’s, soft and useless.

“Don’t, ah! It hurts… don’t pinch me, if I die, you’ll only have a corpse to play with!”

At this moment, Yun Xia understood the pain of the Wolf Demon being played with by the Demon Lord. He couldn’t even control himself from making noises and staying still. His body instinctively dodged, but there was nowhere to escape.

As expected of the Demon Lord’s heart demon, even his hobbies are the same! But at least the Demon Lord wouldn’t treat him like this.

“Corpses aren’t good indeed, you mustn’t die.” The handsome and wicked man said this, but didn’t stop his hands, his delicate and beautiful face filled with childlike excitement and satisfaction.

This isn’t going to work… his knee seems to be breaking, and his ribs seem to be snapping…

Yun Xia stubbornly held back his tears and turned his head in the direction of the Demon Lord.

The only one who could save him was the Demon Lord.

The Demon Lord quietly sat by the wall, like a frozen statue of beauty.

“Esteemed… Esteemed Lord.”

Wake up!

He leaned on the heart demon’s arm, and the heart demon bent down to lick his earlobe. Sharp teeth slid across his vulnerable nape, as if about to bite down.

Just then, he heard Yun Xia’s weak cry.

“You want to go to him?” The heart demon retracted his sharp teeth, easily flipping Yun Xia over.

“You think he’s a good person? Hehehe, so naive, no wonder I like you, little thing.”

Yun Xia didn’t give up. The pain kept him awake. He stopped struggling, but instead closed his eyes to gather Demonic Energy, waiting for the right moment.

“You think he’ll treat you well? You little fool, do you know how I was born? Hahahaha, you still want to rely on him? I, ah, was born from his slightest interest in you. Without his interest in you, there wouldn’t be me. What I’m doing to you might not be what he wants to do. He’s much more sinister than I am~”

The heart demon smiled happily on Yun Xia’s shoulder.

Yun Xia, in order to buy time to accumulate more energy at once, said, “Does it only take a little interest to create a heart demon?”

“Others need a lot, a lot of interest, but for him, just one thought is enough.”

“Why, why? One thought can be many kinds of thoughts.”

The heart demon happily replied, “You’re right, but those are all fake. Only that one thought about you is real.”

Yun Xia was stunned, and in the midst of his busy-ness, he realized something: a little bit of real interest was enough for the Demon Lord to generate a heart demon. Didn’t that mean that the Demon Lord was usually very barren and lonely?

Such a beautiful person, such a high and mighty position…

He frowned, feeling a little uncomfortable.

But now wasn’t the time to be sentimental. Taking advantage of the heart demon’s attention on their conversation, he asked, “Then if he really likes something?”

The heart demon said complacently, “Of course he’d destroy it. Anything he can’t control in his own hands, he destroys.”

Yun Xia looked into the heart demon’s eyes and suddenly remembered the Demon Lord’s ending in the original story.

Over the years, the Demon Realm under the Demon Lord’s control had earned the Immortal Realm’s high regard. They dared not invade and even maintained a superficial friendship.

All because the Demon Realm had a Demon Lord.

But in the end, the Demon Realm was infiltrated by the Immortal Realm bit by bit, with many betraying the Demon Lord. In the end, it was destroyed by the Demon Lord himself.

Everyone said that the Demon Lord had gone mad and lost his mind, but perhaps there was a reason why the Demon Lord had taken the initiative, soberly destroying the Demon Race, because anything he couldn’t control, he destroyed.

These thoughts were only fleeting, mere speculation.

He tried to remain calm and said, “Then what about you? Are you going to destroy me too?”

The heart demon narrowed his eyes at him, then suddenly leaned over and left a tooth mark on Yun Xia’s face.

That spot was too close to his lips. Yun Xia froze completely, the soft touch and stinging sensation hitting him. Before he could recover, he was placed on the ground.

His legs were weak, and he looked at the heart demon in disbelief.

The heart demon’s beautiful lips curled into a playful smile, and he raised his chin at Yun Xia, “Since you want to go to him, then go ahead, as long as you can make it.”

The next moment, a heavy pressure like a ten-story building came crashing down on Yun Xia, and he immediately collapsed to the ground. If he hadn’t already been a cultivator, and was just an ordinary person, he would have fainted on the spot.

“You have another choice, which is to choose me, then you won’t have to suffer so much,” said the heart demon.

Yun Xia was covered in sweat, mobilizing the Demonic Energy squeezed out of his body, and slowly stood up, then turned towards the Demon Lord’s direction without hesitation.

Because his bones were aching from being pinched by the heart demon earlier, he trembled terribly after only taking one step. Demonic Energy was rapidly being exhausted, and in the end, he couldn’t hold on and fell to his knees with a thud.

Damn it, is this some kind of trial?

No matter who he chose, he wouldn’t feel good. Choosing the heart demon might mean being uncomfortable forever, but choosing the Demon Lord meant that at least the Demon Lord wasn’t this twisted.

“Little fool, what’s wrong, are you going to continue?”

To be honest, he didn’t want to continue, and he couldn’t continue…

He gritted his teeth and gasped, “Are you happy playing with me like this?”

The heart demon squatted down beside him, admiring his pained expression, and said leisurely, “I’m a heart demon, a heart demon who gathers all kinds of vile and despicable thoughts, what do you think?”

Yun Xia grinned ferociously at him, “Then you’re too evil, I definitely can’t let you out.”

“Hehehe, is that so? If you stay here with me, I can stay in here forever.”

Yun Xia choked. He had to be involved with him, didn’t he!

Just when he was in a dilemma, through his blurry vision, he actually discovered that the Demon Lord was quietly watching this scene.

Yun Xia was overjoyed and immediately shouted, “Esteemed Lord! Help me, Esteemed Lord!”

This kind of thing wasn’t something someone at his level could participate in. You guys should solve it yourselves!

The Demon Lord stared at Yun Xia for a moment, propped up one leg, rested his hand on it, and lightly pointed forward silently.

An invisible force suddenly spread out, pushing everything around him away like a destructive storm, including all the curtains, walls, roof, and the heart demon.

But it bypassed Yun Xia.

The surroundings were instantly cleared, revealing the gloomy sky.

If Yun Xia wasn’t so tired, he would have jumped up and applauded the Demon Lord.

“Esteemed Lord, I can’t do it anymore, I’ll leave the heart demon to you, I won’t get involved.”

He was about to just lie on the ground and become a useless stone when he heard the Demon Lord say, “Come here.”

Yun Xia: “Huh?”

The Demon Lord was still sitting in the same spot, his posture elegant, the ruins his throne, and he was the Supreme Ruler of the Demon Realm sitting on the throne.

“Come.” He said softly.

Yun Xia couldn’t resist the beauty speaking to him like that, so he could only get up tremblingly, his hands and feet weak, and walk towards him.

Arriving near him, he fell down in front of the Demon Lord, supporting himself with his hands on the ground, and looked up, “Esteemed Lord?”

The Demon Lord softly asked him, “Why didn’t you give up?”

Was he testing his loyalty?

Yun Xia immediately said, “To be honest with you, I actually couldn’t walk anymore just now, but my heart is still with you, heading towards you.”

The corners of the Demon Lord’s eyes trembled slightly, “Is that so?”

“Of course, how could a heart demon defeat the original, you are the Demon Race’s Supreme, you are the strongest, the strongest in the Three Realms!”

Upon closer inspection, the Demon Lord had never been nervous, always calm and composed. That kind of confidence came from the bones, accumulated over thousands of years.

Besides, he couldn’t choose the heart demon, so he might as well firmly choose the Demon Lord.

The Demon Lord cupped his cheeks, his thumb brushing over the tooth mark at the corner of his lips, and his voice was very soft, “You’re good at sweet-talking people.”

Yun Xia immediately felt guilty, “Esteemed Lord, who, who would dare to sweet-talk you, are you doubting me?”

The Demon Lord chuckled, “It doesn’t matter, I allow it.”

After saying that, before Yun Xia could react, Yun Xia’s vision went black and he fell headfirst into the Demon Lord’s arms.

The Demon Lord’s expression returned to calm as he looked up at the person standing in the air.

At this moment, the sky and earth changed color, dark clouds churned, and a strong wind blew.

It was extremely unstable.

The heart demon’s enchanting face wore an unrestrained smile, his arms crossed as he looked down at the two overlapping people, his long hair dancing wildly in the wind – like the king of this apocalyptic world.

“Not going to kill him?” he said loudly.

The Demon Lord held Yun Xia’s back, letting his long hair fall over Yun Xia’s shoulders, almost merging the two into one.

He slightly tilted his head, revealing Yun Xia’s face.

“Why kill him? It’s rare for a fun little fellow to pop up.” The Demon Lord spoke as if explaining to a friend, his tone gentle, not like a soon-to-be-replaced enemy.

“If you don’t kill him now, I will definitely descend again in the future. By then, he won’t be yours anymore. Don’t regret it.”

The heart demon was extremely confident and extremely conceited. In the raging wind, his clothes rustled, and his collar was torn open, revealing the dark Devil Markings that climbed upwards.

The Demon Lord turned a blind eye to the increasingly worsening weather, leisurely arranging the disheveled hair of the person in his arms, not even raising his head, his expression calm, “Are you sure you want to continue wasting my time with nonsense?”

The heart demon chuckled, extending his fingers like claws, and an invisible, distorted circle erupted from his palm, “Then you better keep a close eye on this little thing for me, don’t let him run away.”

The enormous suction force was aimed at the Demon Lord, but the Demon Lord was actually sitting in the same spot, not moving at all, not even meaning to resist. The Demon Nucleus in his body rapidly spun, and his cultivation base rapidly flowed away.

His expression was indifferent, unmoved.
