Master Tian Jue’s disciples!

Bai Yang was shocked.

Master Tian Jue was a brilliant and famous pill master in the Demon Realm. He was the one who refined the cultivation pill that the Demon King had given him earlier. Now, the Demon King was going so far as to give him Master Tian Jue’s disciples!

“Ah, I can’t breathe!” Xiao Ling said in his mind. If it had had a body, its hand would be clutching its chest. “If a man treated me this well, I would definitely marry him!”

Bai Yang: “….”

Bai Yang was in a complicated mood. He’d been so scared that the Demon King would extract his own cultivation to make a pill for him that he lied. Bai Yang said that he’d found some pill masters. Now, in the blink of an eye, the Demon King had sent over spiritual herbs, and even Master Tian Jue’s disciples to refine pills for him!

Xiao Ling sobbed, “If this isn’t love, what is?”

Bai Yang: “….”

Bai Yang’s entire face flushed a bright red. “Shut up.”

Probably because he hadn’t said anything for a long while, the older of the two men wearing brown robes, Zhu Mi, felt some doubt and said, “Lord, would you mind having your pill masters come out and meet us? Afterwards, we can refine a pill for you together, or collaborate on the best methods of refining.”

Bai Yang came back to himself. What pill masters?

But Bai Yang didn’t panic at all. He chuckled. As long as the Demon King wasn’t there, what did he have to fear?

“Since Master Tian Jue’s disciples are here to make pills for me, why would I need other pill masters?” Bai Yang said with a faint smile. He turned his head to his housekeeper, “Go prepare rooms for these two masters, and kick out all other pill masters.”

The shifty-eyed housekeeper stared back at Bai Yang, doubt clear in his eyes. What pill masters?

Bai Yang gave him a meaningful glance.

It was perfect that a shifty-faced guy like him became Xie Ze Tian’s housekeeper, because he had skills. He reacted, saying, “Yes.”

Then he ordered people to take the boxes to the storage room and brought others to clean up the rooms.

The two pill masters followed the housekeeper to the side courtyard.

Xie Ze Tian’s official residence was huge and had many spacious rooms.

Once everyone left, Xiao Ling continued, sounding like a broken record. “My god, the Demon King is handsome and knows how to spoil people. Sir, you might as well follow him.”

Bai Yang was dumbfounded. “Weren’t you just warning me not to indulge in love in this virtual world?”

Xiao Ling was speechless. After a moment, it let out a deep sigh. “Ai….”

Bai Yang also sighed. “Ai….”

Xiao Ling said, “As a girl, I hope I’ll have a boyfriend like the Demon King. ”

“You’re not a system?”

Xiao Ling wasn’t impressed. “Are you saying systems can’t have boyfriends?”

Bai Yang: “….”

He then said, “They can, they definitely can.”

“Hmph!”

After thinking it over, Xiao Ling continued, “Well, the mission is still more important. Sir, since you’ll only live for eight to ten years more, we must think of a way to the mortal realm in order to improve the male lead’s cultivation, or else you might die before he ascends to the heavens.”

That’s right.

Bai Yang’s spirit was shaken. The mission was the most important thing.

He had to think of a way to return to the mortal realm.

He stayed at his mansion for a few days. He still hadn’t thought of anything by the time the Demon King summoned him to the palace.

Bai Yang went right away.

Just like last time, they met in the garden. Bai Yang arrived in time to see Hua Feihua leave.

As the cross-dresser walked by, he gave Bai Yang an indecipherable look and hurried off.

Bai Yang was confused. Why did Hua Feihua look at him like that?

He hadn’t figured anything out when the Demon King, who was standing in the pavilion at the center of the garden, called him over. “Come here.”

Bai Yang let out an oh, and jogged to the Demon King’s side. “Your Highness, I’m here.”

The garden’s flowers were incomparably bright and colorful. The Demon King wore an undecorated blue-green robe for the day. He appeared cultured and refined, with an upright and noble temperament. Even standing among all those bright flowers, he appeared fresh and elegant.

He was like only the most luxurious of flowers, beautiful petals blossoming without restraint, exuding an enticing fragrance.

Bai Yang had simple taste. He didn’t like the pretty and flirtatious bitch type, but rather the fresh and pure type.

When he saw the Demon King for the first time on the mountain, he’d been wearing a simple blue-green robe and was as graceful as a celestial being. Bai Yang had felt his heart stir and reached out to touch his behind. By the time he’d learned that he was touching his big Boss, it was already too late for regrets.

The Demon King often wore black robes, which looked good on him. It was too bad that he was so overbearing. As soon as Bai Yang laid eyes on the Demon King, he’d been terrified. A Demon King who had changed his clothes and suppressed his aggressive temperament put Bai Yang at ease.

Bai Yang came from modern times, so he was comparatively bolder than people from ancient times. Without thinking, he praised him. “Your Highness, you look great in that outfit.”

Bai Yang was just flattering him, but the Demon King was taken aback. It wasn’t too obvious, but hints of red appeared on the pale skin of his cheeks. He lowered his head and said, “Don’t use your moves on me.”

Bai Yang: “….”

Bai Yang was offended. “I didn’t.”

Ordinary people complimented each other’s clothing, makeup, shoes, or bags out of politeness, right? Even if something looked terrible, you’d still compliment it out of politeness.

The Demon King hummed lightly and no longer continued to reprimand Bai Yang. Instead, he said, “The person I sent out to investigate the one who raised the gu will be back soon.”

Bai Yang: “….”

Bai Yang hadn’t been thinking about that at all, but the Demon King had. He really had sent people all over the place in search of a cure.

At that moment, Bai Yang didn’t know what to say, and could only fall back on convention. “Thank you, Your Highness.”

The Demon King waved his hand, “You don’t need to thank me. I’m just fulfilling a promise. I told you that as long as you stay by my side, I would give you influence and power.”

After he finished speaking, the Demon King threw something, though Bai Yang didn’t know where it had come from, and a black shadow flew toward him.

Bai Yang subconsciously caught it and found a little box in his hand.

Seeing that small box, Bai Yang was taken aback.

It couldn’t be. It couldn’t be what he was thinking of!

He hesitated to open it.

The Demon King saw that he wasn’t moving, and raised an eyebrow, “What are you doing just staring at it? Aren’t you going to open it?”

Bai Yang had no choice but to open it. As expected, inside the exquisitely carved box was a glistening and translucent black bead. It looked exactly like the pill that had been refined from 1000 years of cultivation.

Strong demonic magic burst forth from the pearl, letting any who saw it know that there was a vast amount of power inside.

Bai Yang’s eyes stung just looking at the pearl’s radiance. He closed the box and gave it back to the Demon King.

“Your Highness, I can’t accept this.”

The Demon King’s face fell all of a sudden, “Why not?”

“It’s too precious. Your qi has already deviated. If you extract your cultivation again into a pill for me, it will harm your body. I can’t accept it,” Bai Yang said. “Besides, now I have those two pill masters, Zhu Mi and Zhu Xin, to help me refine pills. I don’t need your cultivation pill.”

There was a pause. Then, a little angrily, he said, “Didn’t you promise me that you wouldn’t extract your cultivation to refine pills? How can you say you’ve kept your word!”

After Bai Yang interrogated the Demon King on breaking his promise, there was a period of silence where the Demon King avoided his gaze. Soon after, his expression shuttered and he said, “Oh, you dare shout at me?”

Bai Yang was so angry that he didn’t feel any fear. He glared at him. “You broke your promise first.”

The Demon King laughed. “You said that the pill I gave you before was lost, right?”

As soon as Bai Yang heard that, his aura weakened, and he admitted it. “… yes.”

“Ha, ha.” The Demon King stared at him disdainfully. “Then how come I remember someone feeding me a pill?”

Bai Yang stared at him. “You… remember?”

The Demon King snorted coldly and refused to answer.

Actually, his memories were pretty hazy. He only vaguely remembered that it was Xie Ze Tian that gave him something to stop his qi from deviating. He thought about it, and it could only have been the pill he’d given to Bai Yang. As soon as he remembered that, he was moved and extracted 200 years of cultivation to roll into a pill at once.

The Demon King thought Xie Ze Tian was very devoted in his love. Bai Yang gave so much, but didn’t say a word. Truth be told that kind of attitude was really lovable.

Even though his disposition was awkward, it made him seem fresh and refined, even lovely!

Bai Yang was exposed. Then he thought, the Demon King remembered that he had ****ed him, then acted as if nothing had happened! Bai Yang’s anger grew incrementally.

“Did you just break your promise to me, or not?!” Due to his anger, the question came out forcefully.

The Demon King’s imposing demeanor ebbed and flowed until, at last, it disappeared.

The Demon King: “….”

The Demon King couldn’t be firm with him. He coughed and did all he could to maintain a dignified air. “Zhu Mi and Zhu Xin need time to refine a pill. This cultivation pill was made with this in mind, so you can take it in the meantime. Moreover, I only used 200 years of my cultivation to make this pill. It’s of no consequence.”

“No consequence?” Bai Yang stifled his anger. “Are you trying to pick a fight, Your Highness?”

“Very well.” The Demon King laughed disdainfully and said, “If you want to fight, follow me.”

You’re the one provoking me, Bai Yang thought. “Let’s go.”

Bai Yang stormed to the training field.

The Demon King was too arrogant, too conceited. He relied too much on his immense cultivation and didn’t take his health seriously.

The Demon King had a qi deviation, attacked the human realm, and was worn down. Now, he’s extracted his cultivation again. Bai Yang thought he must have been putting on a brave front, so Bai Yang should be able to beat him.

As long as Bai Yang won, he could make the Demon King realize how useless his blind arrogance and self-confidence was!

He wanted to make the Demon King realize that he couldn’t act so conceited. Everyone suffered setbacks in life!

Bai Yang was full of confidence.

When they arrived at the training field, the Demon King put his hands behind his back, smiled faintly, and said, “Come on. I’ll let you perform the first three moves.”

His tone and attitude of a dragon defying heaven was aggravating!

People should conduct themselves modestly!!

Bai Yang laughed coldly, pinched his fingers, and rushed up; his heart filled with anger….

15 minutes later, Bai Yang was lying prone on the ground with a bloody nose and a swollen face, unable to move.

The Demon King felt a bit guilty. He approached cautiously. “Ze Tian, are you alright?”

Bai Yang’s head was buzzing. It took a long time for him to recover.

Bai Yang: “….”

… no way.

The Demon King had been worn down. It should have been easy to beat him! Why? WHY!

No. He must be showing off.

Bai Yang got up and assumed an attack position. “Again!”

“Still fighting?” the Demon King said, hesitantly.

Bai Yang beckoned him with a wave of his hand and spat out some blood. “Come at me!”

A moment later…

Bai Yang lay prone on the ground once more, unable to move.

No! It couldn’t be real!

I don’t believe it!

Bai Yang struggled to get up, one eye already swollen shut. “Again, come at me again…”

Seeing his miserable appearance, the Demon King felt regret, upset with himself for making his last attack too strong. “Enough, no more fighting.”

“No, I will defeat you!”

Bai Yang had already been beaten silly. As he was beaten, his stubbornness emerged, and he devoted his heart and mind to one thought: beating the Demon King.

He stood, almost falling over.

The Demon King saw Bai Yang, eyes betraying his helplessness, and said, “Alright.”

“Ah!!!” Bai Yang used all his strength to rush at the Demon King.

The Demon King tried to hit him with the palm of his hand, but it didn’t connect. He raised his eyebrows in surprise. He then used A Thousand Pound Drop, plunging his legs straight into the ground.

Even so, that did not stop Bai Yang from attacking him. The Demon King continued to retreat, driving two deep grooves into the hard earth.

Bai Yang was seeing red.

The Demon King gave up.

As soon as he did, Bai Yang seized the opportunity to push him down, and they both ended up on the ground.

Bai Yang’s whole body lay over the Demon King’s. He looked him over from top to bottom and said, “You lost!”

His eyes were still red.

The Demon King was afraid to provoke him and said softly, “Yes, I lost.”

Bai Yang appeared startled. The red in his eyes faded and they became bright and clear once again. He blinked and said, “See, you’re already so weak even I can beat you. From now on, take care of yourself. Don’t extract your cultivation again, alright?”

For a moment, the Demon King didn’t react.

As soon as Bai Yang finished speaking, he gave in and fell unconscious, his whole body falling onto the Demon King’s chest.

The Demon King stayed still. After a moment, he slowly lifted his hands and held the body on his chest, hands gripping tighter and tighter.

T/N: So sorry for the delay! That was my fault!
