Bai Yang washed up and got ready for bed.

“Lord Hua,” the guard’s voice echoed from outside.

“Is Xie Ze Tian inside? I want to see him.” Hua Fei Hua replied with his sweet voice.

“Replying to your Lords.h.i.+p, Lord Xie busied himself the whole day and has just gone to sleep.” The guard answered, respectful and calm.

There was a loud noise, probably from Hua Fei Hua trying to enter and being blocked by the guard. “Lord Hua, Lord Xie has gone to sleep. Now isn’t a good time.”

“You dare stop me?” Hua Fei Hua’s voice was filled with arrogance.

“Apologies, but according to His Highness’s orders, no one is allowed into his room.” Staring down the threat of Hua Fei Hua, the guard’s voice remained steady and calm. He didn’t give Hua Fei Hua any face at all.

Bai Yang, listening in, knew that if he didn’t speak up, the two might start fighting outside or something. So he commanded, “Let him in.”

It was only then that the guard opened the door. Hua Fei Hua barged in, complaining at once. “How dare you try to stop me, Xie Ze Tian!”

Xie Ze Tian and Hua Fei Hua had a good relations.h.i.+p in private. Although their relations.h.i.+p was of one extremely enthusiastic person with an indifferent one, Xie Ze Tian loved all beautiful people. Even though Hua Fei Hua was a crossdresser, Xie Ze Tian still chased after him. Xie Ze Tian might have taken advantage of Hua Fei Hua every once in a while, but most of the time it was Hua Fei Hua toying with Xie Ze Tian. From time to time, Hua Fei Hua would use his gaze to provoke Xie Ze Tian, but he’d never given in and taken a loss before.

If these two really did get together, who knows who would suffer the biggest loss, Bai Yang thought.

Within the Four Generals of the Demon Realm, the one with the lowest IQ should be Xie Ze Tian. He wasn’t too bright, unable to move the moment he saw a beautiful person.

“Don’t accuse me. I only just found out there was a guard outside.”

“His Highness sent a guard to protect you?” Hua Fei Hua seemed to realize something and chuckled. “Is this because of last time? You never touched the beauties of the palace before, did you? You were so bold to fool around with the palace staff without fearing His Highness’s fury.”

In that world, there was no such thing as a wall that air can’t pa.s.s through. The Demon King wouldn’t allow news of what happened between Bai Yang and the palace servants to spread, in order to save face, but Hua Fei Hua controlled their intelligence. It was impossible to hide anything from him.

Bai Yang was speechless. Hua Fei Hua was right. Xie Ze Tian always avoided developing a relations.h.i.+p with the palace staff, as he was wary of the Demon King. He was afraid he might anger the Demon King and get his head chopped off.

“They initiated it.” Bai Yang explained.

“Haha,” Hua Fei Hua obviously didn’t believe him. “If you didn’t initiate it, how would the palace staff dare seduce you?”

Bai Yang: “…”

Bai Yang had nothing to say in reply. G.o.d d.a.m.n that Daily Task!

“You’re getting bolder and bolder as time goes on.” Hua Fei Hua wore a bright red dress. A lock of his hair slipped from behind his right ear, falling onto his chest. He twirled it around his finger and threw a coy wink at Xie Ze Tian.

Bai Yang looked at the other’s strand of hair, a casual glance with no hidden intentions. However, Hua Fei Hua let out a soft ‘ah’, and said with a pout, “Unbelievable~, you’re staring at my chest.”

Bai Yang: “&#k2026;”

Bai Yang s.h.i.+vered. What are you thinking, dude? You have no chest. What can I stare at?

Hua Fei Hua smiled as he spoke, “It seems to me that His Highness has started to value you more since you saved His Highness in the Western Demon Lord’s territory.”

“I only did my part as a General.”

Hua Fei Hua covered his giggle with his hand and approached Bai Yang. He cupped Bai Yang’s face with his hand and said with a smile, “We’re on the same side. What’s with those insincere, political words? Just tell me what happened.”

Bai Yang was alarmed. “What do you mean?”

“I know His Highness well, so how could an insignificant Western Demon Lord hurt him?” Hua Fei Hua did, indeed, deserve to be the head of the Intelligence Department with his keen sensitivity to everything. He leaned against Bai Yang’s shoulder, pressing his lips against Bai Yang’s ear as he breathed out. His voice was beyond charming. “Lord Xie, tell me. What happened to His Highness?”

He’s trying to seduce this out of me!

Bai Yang was conflicted; should he act duped or not?

“Come on, just talk to me.” The crossdresser continued to flirt.

Bai Yang felt the hair on his body stand on end. He wasn’t attracted to the crossdresser at all.

“Come on, tell me~.” The powerful crossdresser moved closer to him and pressed his chest against Bai Yang’s.

Bai Yang felt his brain explode.

“Stop! Stop trying to seduce me, I’m not going to tell you anything!” Bai Yang refused and pushed Hua Fei Hua away. He looked like a frightened, puffed-up hamster with his round eyes wide open, staring at Hua Fei Hua in alarm.

Hua Fei Hua paused, then leaned closer again and said, “I just want to seduce you. What are you going to do about it?”

With no escape, Bai Yang could only back away. Who knew there was a bed behind him? All of a sudden, he fell onto the bed.

“Don’t come closer! If you do, I won’t hold back! I’ll have you know, I’m a famous lecher!” Bai Yang shouted, but his heart was shaken.

Hua Fei Hua burst out into convulsive laughter. “Ah, how did I never notice how cute you were? Come on, you famous lecher! I welcome you.” He rushed forward and started to pull off Bai Yang’s clothes as though he was a hungry wolf. Bai Yang couldn’t fight back, so he was quickly disheveled.

“Wait, wait, wait!” Bai Yang protested.

“Come on, let’s have some fun!” Hua Fei Hua laughed cheerfully.

Bai Yang’s robes were ripped open, revealing part of his fair shoulders. The front of the robe was slightly parted and exposed his delicate collarbones. Together with his wide doe eyes, flushed cheeks, and panting…

Hua Fei Hua paused. Originally, he had only wanted to mess around, but all of a sudden, he thought turning a game into something real might not be a bad idea. He bowed his head and kissed Xie Ze Tian’s red petal lips.

Bai Yang couldn’t take it anymore and he used magic to push Hua Fei Hua away.

Hua Fei Hua flew off and smashed into the ground. He laid there for a long time before finally getting up and saying in a aggrieved voice, “Ouchie, it hurts~”

Bai Yang: “…” Ouchie? My G.o.d, how can you say things like that?

Too much, you’re really too much.

He knew that Hua Fei Hua came to gather information about the Demon King’s situation. He talked as he straightened his clothes, “It’s useless coming to me. His Highness really was injured and needs rest.”

Once the Demon King was referenced, Hua Fei Hua became serious. “Seriously?”

“Yes, seriously. His Highness was severely injured.” Now you know, so hurry up and leave.

“No, you must be lying to me.” Hua Fei Hua murmured. He tried both methods, acting flirtatious and then threatening for a while. However, Bai Yang was onto him from start to finish, so he revealed no useful information.

“You’ve changed. You don’t love me anymore.” Hua Fei Hua looked heartbroken, his face full of grief.

Bai Yang stared at his act, feeling nothing in his heart.

Seeing that his seducing plan didn’t work, Hua Fei Hua dropped the act and looked over Bai Yang.

He was wearing women’s clothes and his make up was so good, hardly anyone could tell he was a man, but once he turned serious, his gaze was piercing.

“Lord Xie, you’ve changed.”

Bai Yang was startled, but his face didn’t move. “Really? I didn’t notice.”

Hua Fei Hua rubbed his chin as he inspected Bai Yang. He c.o.c.ked his head and said, “Just looking at you, it seems as though nothing is different. But, for some reasons, you feel like an entirely different person.”

Whoa, his instinct is scary!

Bai Yang asked Xiao Ling, “Xiao Ling, Xiao Ling, what should I do? Did he figure me out?”

Xiao Ling wasn’t sure either, “He shouldn’t have… right?”

One man and one system were both wary.

“How have I changed?” Bai Yang asked. Say it, and I’ll fix it right away.

Hua Fei Hua thought about it. “It feels like you’ve become bolder, and much more attractive. And… and what is it? It’s hard to say.”

When he heard the other say he was bold, Bai Yang almost started to cry. He said to Xiao Ling, “Xiao Ling, did you hear what he said? He said I’m bold.”

“Sir, I heard him.” Xiao Ling said.

“Is my mission complete yet? Look, everyone else says I’m bold and, if I remember right, you’ve told me that a few times, too. Can’t the System count it as achieving the goal of this experiment and let me go home?”

Xiao Ling said, “Sir, you’re overthinking this.”

Bai Yang: “…”

“There’s one more thing.” Hua Fei Hua’s voice interrupted Bai Yang and Xiao Ling’s conversation. Bai Yang lifted his head, listening carefully to what Hua Fei Hua wanted to say.

Hua Fei Hua said, “The other thing is, you’ve become His Highness’s favorite.”

Bai Yang: “…”

I’ve become the Almighty Demon King’s favorite? When did that happen?

Probably thanks to the clear shock on Bai Yang’s face, Hua Fei Hua explained, “The most obvious example is that His Highness set up the barrier around the main hall so that no one but you were able to enter un.o.bstructed.”

“Barrier? What barrier?” Bai Yang pondered for a moment, before he was. .h.i.t with the realization. “Are you talking about the barrier around the palace’s main hall? You guys aren’t able to enter?”

Hua Fei Hua nodded. “His Highness has locked himself in the main hall for three days. He receives news via sound magic from someone outside of the barrier. No one is allowed in, except for you…”

He paused. “Since you’re the only one allowed in, doesn’t that prove how much His Highness favors you?”

Bai Yang didn’t know he was the only one able to enter the barrier. After a moment of silence, he explained, “It’s probably because I saved His Highness in the Western Demon Lord’s territory.”

Hua Fei Hua shrugged, “Perhaps.”

He then said, “Alright, since you aren’t willing to tell me anything, I won’t bother you any longer.”

Thank G.o.d, he’s finally leaving.

Hua Fei Hua turned around and left the room. Bai Yang closed the door, and laid on his bed like a tortured, dying fish.

So tired!

I just want to close my eyes and fall asleep, but, for some reason, Hua Fei Hua’s words keep bouncing in my head.

‘You’re His Highness’s favorite.’

He thought for a moment, before asking Xiao Ling in his head, “Xiao Ling, do you think the Demon King favors me?”

“Naturally. As a fan of the original book, I’ve a.n.a.lyzed the Demon King as an ambitious and unfeeling boss villain with cruel methods. It’s extremely hard to gain the trust of people like that. This qi deviation matter is his biggest weakness. It would have been in-character for him to eliminate you for finding out, but he let you off.”

“That’s the novel’s Demon King of Eternal Night. After hanging out with him for so long, I think he’s a pretty good person. He wouldn’t just randomly kill someone.”

“Right, but he does indulge you. You’re the only one allowed inside the palace, and he even told you all of his plans. Who would believe you if you tell them he doesn’t indulge you?”

Bai Yang was speechless and could only say, “Stop talking, it’s time to sleep.”

He laid down and floated away into his dreams.
