Whoever designed the characters in this world did a great job. Bai Yang praised from the bottom of his heart. He then lowered his head and continued to rub his thigh.

After was.h.i.+ng the medicinal herbs from his body, all that remained was that awkward place.

He slowly sank until only his eyes and nose were above water. His whole body submerged, using the water as cover, he reached behind himself, trying to clean what was inside.

Last night left a bad taste in his mouth.

The first time was very fast. The Demon King came shortly after entering. Bai Yang thought he was quick as a gunslinger. With resentment in his heart, he laughed at The Demon King. But the second time finished well into the night, and the third was dragged out until almost dawn.

From start to finish there was no technique, all the Demon King knew was to thrust. Fortunately, Bai Yang’s body was strong. He suffered through the first half of the night in pain, the latter half with numbness and a feeling that couldn’t be described.

Bai Yang didn’t want to experience that feeling again.

Monster!

He grit his teeth and turned towards The Demon King, and saw him busy cleaning himself, not at all paying attention to Bai Yang.

Bai Yang quickly stretched his fingers into that spot.

After he felt it was more or less clean, he got up onto the lakeside and scrubbed the clothes he threw onto the wet ground.

The whole world was quiet, only the sound of him was.h.i.+ng his clothes could be heard. After they were clean, he wrung them out. As he turned around, he almost b.u.mped into someone. He hadn’t noticed The Demon King appear behind him. The air surrounding his body was dangerous, and his eyes appeared to flash red for a moment.

Bai Yang startled and stepped back, into the water.

“Your Highness?” He asked, “when did you come over?”

The Demon King of Eternal Night was as still as a rock, Bai Yang hadn’t seen the Demon King come up behind him.

What made him apprehensive was the air around The Demon King. It was frantic, wisps of black spilled out of his body and curled around him, becoming thicker and thicker.

“Just now.” The Demon King’s voice was hoa.r.s.e. He stared at Bai Yang, the red in his eyes becoming more noticeable.

The years of close combat instinct made Bai Yang uneasy, he started towards the nearby sh.o.r.e and said: “I’ve already finished was.h.i.+ng up, let’s go.”

As he spoke, he pulled the wet clothes on to cover his body.

Before he could reach the sh.o.r.e, The Demon King’s figure appeared in front of him, blocking his path.

“Your Highness?” Bai Yang was forced back into the water.

“I…… seem to have qi-deviated.” The Demon King frowned, reaching out to grab him.

“Bulls.h.i.+t!” Bai Yang jumped in and started to swim towards the middle of the lake. You want to do that again? I won’t be fooled!

His a.s.s just got better!

The Demon King was on his heels, directly jumping into the water as well.

Seeing him give chase and aware that something wasn’t right, Bai Yang began to swim faster in fear. He wanted to swim to the opposite bank and shake off the Demon King. As he swam, he felt the water suck his body in, slowing him down.

Soon after, he felt heavy pressure, like swimming in a swamp. Bai Yang had no choice but to surface. He wiped the water droplets off his face and looked back.

A line of water rushed closer, stopping a few steps away from him.

In the gentle waves, The Demon King came up. Under the water around him appeared a dark black cloud. It grew, covering the entire lake.

The Demon King of Eternal Night stood in the middle of the lake, exposing his strong upper body. Behind his wet hair was a pair of blood-red eyes.

“Your Highness?” Bai Yang carefully asked.

The Demon King didn’t react.

Below the water’s surface, a couple of black tentacles rushed towards Bai Yang.

Bai Yang realized that The Demon King was qi-deviating.

G.o.ddammit!

He really did qi-deviate!

He startled, not daring to talk to The Demon King again, and resumed swimming. Using his powers this time he was fast as a fish. The tentacles were shaken off as they neared his feet.

In his mind he wailed: Why did he just randomly start qi-deviating? What do I do now?!

Xiao Ling said: “Sir, I can feel it becoming more serious.”

Bai Yang was running for his life, but he looked back. Xiao Ling was right. After witnessing it several times, he’d come to realize that each time The Demon King qi-deviated, it would become harder and harder to control. The evil energy filled the whole lake, even showing signs of spreading to the surrounding jungle.

The entire lake was already full of his evil energy, the once clear water becoming black, bubbling like it was heating up.

Bai Yang didn’t know what to do, but he was sure he needed to get out of the lake first, so he rushed to the bank. He reached it and began to climb out, but tentacles made out of evil energy emerged. One grabbed onto his hand, one grabbed his waist, and the other hooked around his leg, tugging him back into the water.

“Let go of me!” Bai Yang struggled in fear.

“Don’t give up Sir!” Xiao Ling yelled in his head. Unfortunately it was of no use.

Bai Yang splashed through the water, and was pulled to The Demon King in the middle of the lake.

He was a bit scared, and his body wasn’t at its best condition, so he had no way of bringing out his usual power. If he couldn’t subdue The Demon King, the consequences would be grave.

“Your Highness, wake up!” Bai Yang called.

The Demon King of Eternal Night’s eyes were like blood-stained gla.s.s. Hearing Bai Yang’s words, he lowered his head, “you said you would help me.”

Bai Yang was shocked, The Demon King hadn’t lost his mind? He can still talk?

The Demon King’s voice was hoa.r.s.e: “I’m about to lose control, help me.”

Bai Yang’s mind was a mess.

“You’re unwilling?” It was like The Demon King could see his hesitation, his voice deepened, “If you’re unwilling, then please leave.”

The tentacles that were restraining Bai Yang loosened. He floated on the water. Behind him, the evil energy dispersed and cleared up a path, the only light in the entire black lake.

With the sudden opportunity for freedom, Bai Yang was confused.

“Go.” The Demon King said.

Bai Yang was full of terror, looking behind him at the path. He followed it to the sh.o.r.e. When one realizes they’re in extreme danger, they will instinctively try to escape. Bai Yang’s intuition told him he wouldn’t be able to control The Demon King, adding to the fact that he was injured and in fear, he hasilty fled.

Away from the center of The Demon King’s power, the pressure relieved slightly. Bai Yang let out a small sigh of relief. For some reason, he glanced back.

Only one glance was enough to make him freeze in place.

The middle of the lake was black like ink. In the middle of that ink, The Demon King stood there silently, gazing tenderly at Bai Yang with his blood-red eyes.

“Sir, hurry up!” Xiao Ling yelled.

Bai Yang found himself struggling to breathe, he felt like he couldn’t move his body.

Once again, he felt pressure. This pressure didn’t come from The Demon King, but from himself. Was he really going to walk away?

You promised you would help him.

He treated you so well……

Do you really have the heart to watch him go down like this?

But he’ll hurt me……

Will he really?

“Sir? Sir?”

Xiao Ling’s voice pulled Bai Yang out of his thoughts. Bai Yang was silent for a moment, before throwing himself back into the water and swimming towards The Demon King.

“Sir, what are you doing?” Xiao Ling was shocked.

Bai Yang was silent until he reached the Demon King: “I won’t leave, I’ll help you.”

The Demon King’s blood-red eyes flickered.

In a split second, the evil energy in the water shot towards the sky, before dropping back down.

The Demon King reached out to hug him, by his ear he said in a low voice: “You won’t leave?”

Bai Yang’s emotions were complicated. “We should start as soon as possible, tell me what to do.”

The Demon King lowered his head, Bai Yang could feel his wet hair on his neck, it tickled. “This time I really will establish the channel, prepare yourself.”

Bai Yang’s face was flushed red, with gritted teeth he nodded.

In the vast forest, a dark lake with black water.

Bodies tangled.

At the end, Bai Yang has almost lost consciousness, aware that this time the Demon King didn’t go wild, but had actually established the channel. Circling his own power between the two of them.

Through the circling power, Bai Yang discovered a formless ma.s.s inside the Demon King, where the evil energy flooded from. The reason for his qi-deviation.

After a few days, that ma.s.s seemed to grow smaller. Bai Yang suddenly understood if that ma.s.s disappeared, the Demon King wouldn’t qi-deviate anymore.

When it was finished, the evil energy that gathered towards the Demon King disappeared back into his body.

That ma.s.s did shrink, but for it to disappear, they would have to do it quite a few more times.

Bai Yang prepared to retreat, but he was caught around the waist. Raising his head, he was met with a pair of eyes full of desire.

Li Zixuan, enough!” Bai Yang struggled harshly. The Demon King’s technique had improved a bit, but it still didn’t feel very good. Furthermore, the feeling of losing control made him uncomfortable.

But to have a man stop in the middle of things, that would be impossible. Unless said man’s stamina wasn’t enough. Very unfortunately, as the Demon World’s strongest, the The Demon King’s energy was top-notch.

After that was another bout of love making, even Xie Ze Tian’s strong body wasn’t able to keep up. Good thing the Demon King knew the gains wouldn’t make up for the losses if he went too hard, so he knew to quit while he was ahead.

When Bai Yang woke up, it was already nighttime.

He seemed to be laying on soft gra.s.s, somewhere very warm, and his head lay on something hard.

As he struggled to open his eyes, what he saw was a dancing flame and red fireworks, emitting warm rays of light.

“You’re awake?” A low voice sounded from above, dry hands lightly touching his jaw.

Bai Yang now realized he was laying on The Demon King’s lap.

Recalling what happened, Bai Yang buried his face in his hands.

Ah, he actually did it with The Demon King again.

The previous time he could blame it on the Demon King tricking him, but this time he walked straight into it. He couldn’t blame it one someone else.

“Does it still hurt?” The person above him carefully asked, seeing as they did it roughly again last night, it wasn’t very nice of him.

Bai Yang moved his hands and deadpanned: “Your technique is really s.h.i.+t.”

The Demon King of Eternal Night: “……”

Who knew what he just thought about as his face went slightly red, he said: “In the future we’ll have a lot more practice.”

Bai Yang slapped his face, “You can f.u.c.k off.”

The Demon King didn’t f.u.c.k off, instead he leaned over and said: “Don’t worry, I’m a fast learner.”

Bai Yang’s face was blank, he didn’t want to pay attention to him.

The Demon King had eaten well and drunk well, his mind was lively. “Does it still hurt? Do you want a ma.s.sage?”

Bai Yang turned around and got up. “No need.”

A pair of claws laid on his shoulder, ma.s.saging him.

Bai Yang slapped away his evil claws, glaring at the owner of them he said: “You’re very bored, aren’t you?”

The Demon King retracted his claws, and smiled, trying to curry favor.

“I’m hungry, go find me some food.” Bai Yang’s voice was monotone.

The Demon King immediately stood up. “Okay, wait for me.”

And then he flashed into the nearby trees.

When the Demon King’s air was gone, Bai Yang’s blank face fell. He dropped back into the gra.s.s, empty eyes staring at the sky.

“Sir, are you okay?” Xiao Ling appeared in his head.

Bai Yang remained still and stared at the sky.

His condition worried Xiao Ling, “Sir, what’s wrong?”

After a long while, Bai Yang let out a long sigh. “Xiao Ling.”

Xiao Ling came to attention. “Sir?”

“I’m done, I’me gay now.” Bai Yang’s eyes were fixated on the dark blue sky. Thinking aloud, he said, “The first time I denied it, the second time I took advantage of it, like the first time broke down the barrier. I thought that we already did it once, so what’s a second time?”

He buried his face in his hands, “My parents will kill me if they find out.”

Xiao Ling didn’t know how to comfort him. after thinking about it, she said: “Sir, don’t be nervous, you just fell in love with a man.”

Bai Yang went silent, he wanted to retort, why would I fall in love with him? But he couldn’t get it out.

If he kept lying to himself, it would be unreasonable.

So s.e.x really was the best way to the soul.

Before, their relations.h.i.+p was vague, with a thin screen between them. But s.e.x pierced through the last defence. Bai Yang was unable to ignore it, He had no choice but to face his own feelings. Like it was relentlessly attacking the last closed door to his heart, when the door opened, he fell in.

Bai Yang struggled and denied like his life depended on it, but in the end that door was opened by the might of The Demon King. He had no choice but to admit the truth. That he liked Li Zixuan.

Bai Yang didn’t know when he fell for him. Perhaps it was because the Demon King was grateful and touched by his actions. Those feelings of grat.i.tude turned into something else and he didn’t realize…… no, it wasn’t that he didn’t realize, he just didn’t want to admit it.

And now, he had nowhere to run.

He liked The Demon King.

That was the truth.

The worries came after admitting the truth to himself.

Bai Yang rolled around on the ground and sighed. “Okay fine, it is what it is, he likes me, I like him, everyone’s happy. But right now I’m worried. What if he finds out that everything I did before was to help Zhou Ying? I have to leave sooner or later, what happens then?”

Love is great, but the future is a problem.

Xiao Ling was silent, “Sir……”

Bai Yang sat up, sucked in a breath from the pain coming from below, and fell back on the gra.s.s. “Whatever. I won’t think about it too much. Wait for the wounds to heal first.”

A moment later, The Demon King walked out from the trees holding a snake. The snake was about as thick as an arm with pointy horns on its head, looking extremely unfriendly.

Bai Yang knew what kind of snake it was, a very venomous one. But if you removed the poison gland, it tasted really good roasted.

The Demon King skinned it, skewered the pieces onto some twigs and put it above the fire.

The nearby lake was silent. Dense forest surrounded them in all directions, and birds chirped from time to time. Bai Yang thought it felt very nice.

The Demon King looked at him while cooking. Using his magic to strengthen the flames, the snake meat was done in no time.

The smell of meat floated over and crackled. Bai Yang couldn’t help but swallow.

“It’s done roasting, come try it first.”

The Demon King handed a skewer over, Bai Yang took it and took a light bite. The snake meat was exquisite, with a hint of sweetness, and so tender it made you want to swallow your tongue.

“Delicious!” He exclaimed.

The Demon King thought he was praising his cooking skill, and proudly said: “If it’s good then have some more, here, all for you.”

He handed some more skewers over to Bai Yang.

“You’re not gonna eat?” Bai Yang asked as he dug in.

“I’m not hungry.” The Demon King smiled.

You haven’t had any food in two days, what do you mean you’re not hungry?

Bai Yang rolled his eyes, returning half of the meat. “Eat it, take me back to the Palace after.”

The Demon King took the snake meat, surprised at the gesture. “You… you’re giving it to me?”

He probably thought, after f.u.c.king Bai Yang twice, he was still treated well.

Even after all that, Bai Yang was still so gentle, could it be that……

The Demon King’s heart thumped, did he forgive me?

Oh…….

He loved me that deeply before, with how good I am, there’s no way he wouldn’t not forgive me.

With that thought, he suddenly felt that he made a big fuss over nothing. Maybe Xie Ze Tian’s was just awkward. No, he was definitely awkward.

Or else he wouldn’t have rejected all my attempts even though he loves me.

Maybe when I forced Bai Yang, he actually did want it. He said “no, no”, but he actually did want it, or else he wouldn’t have sucked me in so tight, or yelled at me to go faster……

The Demon King’s thoughts strayed further and further, a light blush crawling up his face.

Bai Yang, sitting in front of him, was wholeheartedly focused on eating, with not an idea about what was going on inside the Demon King’s head.

Bai Yang’s clothes had long since dried, loosely hanging off his body. After eating to his heart’s content, Bai Yang suggested they go back to the Palace.

The Demon King also wanted to hurry back, seeing as they have been out for many days, and returning would take a few days. But thinking about Bai Yang’s condition, he insisted on taking care of him for a day. After he healed completely, they rushed back to the Palace of Eternal Darkness.
