Although the Demon King of Eternal Night scolded him, Bai Yang could tell he wasn’t particularly angry.
Great! As long as he wasn’t killed on the spot, he could still turn the situation around!
Bai Yang looked ashamed. “My Lord, it’s my fault. I didn’t have enough foresight.”
“I’m not angry because you didn’t get the Jade Cloud Pearl, I’m angry because you didn’t approach the problem better,” The Demon King said.
Bai Yang bowed his head to acknowledge his mistake with a good attitude. “My Lord is right. I acted without thinking. This won’t happen next time.”
“Next time?
“Promises to the Demon King must be fulfilled. I will bring you the Jade Cloud Pearl.” Determination appeared in Bai Yang’s eyes as he stared at the Demon King of Eternal Night.
There was stubbornness in those eyes.
The Demon King of Eternal Night paused. “You…”
He then furrowed his brows. “There’s no need. My problem is complicated and the Jade Cloud Pearl won’t just fix it.”
“What? The Jade Cloud Pearl isn’t enough to solve My Lord’s problem? Tell me, My Lord, what I need to do to heal you. Whatever you say, I’ll do it.”
Bai Yang’s eyes were filled with nervous anticipation.
柏杨的眼神里充满了焦急和期待。
Of course he’d be anxious; if the Demon King of Eternal Night wasn’t searching for the Jade Cloud Pearl, how could he get back to the Human Realm?
“I heard that in the Human Realm, there is a sacred dragon called the Jiao Long. If you kill it and take its heart, it could be a panacea to hundreds of illnesses. My Lord, since the Jade Cloud Pearl couldn’t be acquired, I can go back to the Human Realm to get the heart of the Jiao Long.”
The Demon King of Eternal Night stared at Bai Yang, an indescribable look in his eyes. “You’re really this concerned about my health?”
“Of course!” Bai Yang said immediately, neither his expression or tone showing any signs of insincerity, “My Lord’s body is important to all Demonkind, so of course your Subordinate is worried.”
His words seemed to please the Almighty Demon King, as the corners of his mouth raised slightly. Although the change was minuscule, Bai Yang noticed.
It seemed that the Demon King wasn’t that hard to please.
“My Lord, rest assured. I will definitely get the Jade Cloud Pearl and the Jiao Long’s heart…” Bai Yang said sincerely.
The Demon King once again stared at Bai Yang, as though he was considering the sincerity of his words. However, since Bai Yang genuinely wanted to find those items for him, his attitude was very sincere. Finally, the Demon King’s eyes drifted, but his gaze went softer. “No need. The Jade Cloud Pearl is only able to solve the issue with my inner demons, but can’t fix the root problem. As for the Jiao Long’s Heart, it would have no effect at all.”
Bai Yang became anxious. If the Demon King didn’t want those two items, then how would he get back to the Human Realm?
“My Lord?”

He couldn’t finish speaking before he vomited blood.
He had, indeed, been gravely injured. He had gotten as far as he did by running on adrenaline, and with magic he wrapped around himself. He had no idea how bad it was. Finally relaxed, all of his suppressed pain had erupted at once.
After vomiting up blood, even Bai Yang was shocked still.
The Demon King of Eternal Night stood up and appeared before Bai Yang. Faint concern was hidden in his eyes. “Xie Ze Tian?”
Violent pain struck through him. His vision went dark and, suddenly, he lost consciousness.
Fuck!
When he woke, it was night, and Bai Yang found himself in a large palace. The room was dark and beautiful, with a majestic aura.
“You’re awake?” A man’s voice sounded from his side. When Bai Yang turned to look, he saw a man with a cold expression and hair tied high on his head standing nearby.
It was The Demon King of Eternal Night’s imperial guard, Li Yu. Li Yu looked cold and handsome. He never laughed and hardly spoke.
“Where am I?” Bai Yang sat up to ask.
“This is the Demon King’s imperial sleeping palace. You collapsed in the Palace of Darkness, so the Demon King arranged for you to rest here.”
So that was it.
“Then, why are you here?” Li Yu was the Demon King of Eternal Night’s personal guard, and was deeply trusted. Could it be that the Demon King sent Li Yu to guard him? Impossible.
“The Demon King commanded me to bring you to the Spirit Spring when you awaken.”
The Spirit Spring?
Bai Yang searched his memories for a moment, before finding information on the Spirit Spring. There indeed was a Spirit Spring in the Palace of Darkness. That Spirit Spring could quickly repair the body. If a normal person soaked in the spring, their bodies could be recreated anew. If a cultivator soaked in the spring, they could increase their spirit power.
However, that Spirit Spring was enjoyed exclusively by the Demon King of Eternal Night. Who would have thought it would also be open for Bai Yang this time?
Who would have thought there would be extra benefits for him?
Bai Yang was delighted. Could the mess at the Soaring Clouds Sect have been forgiven?
That’s fantastic!
“Now that you’re awake, follow me.” Li Yu’s voice was monotone and cold.
Bai Yang has been exhausted lately, so soaking in a hot spring sounded perfect.
Bai Yang didn’t want to be coddled, so he climbed out of bed as quickly as he could. “Lead the way!”
Li Yu raised an eyebrow, dragging his gaze up and down Bai Yang. After a while, he said, “Just what type of potion did you give the Demon King? Not only did he clear your meridians himself, but now he’s letting you soak in his Spirit Spring.”
Hehe!
Bai Yang caught hints of jealousy in Li Yu’s tone.
“I didn’t do anything. All I have is loyalty to my Lord. If he tells me to go east, I’ll never go west.” Bai Yang said.
Li Yu snorted, before turning to lead the way.
Bai Yang followed him out with a huge grin on his face.
“Sir.” Xiao Ling suddenly said from his mind.
“Yes?” Bai Yang continued to grin as he followed Li Yu.
“You’re a good actor. You performance almost convinced me that you’re loyal to the Demon King of Eternal Night.”
Bai Yang said, “Wasn’t it you who wanted me to keep in character? Once I break character, I’ll be punished. Besides, if I don’t insist I did it all for loyalty, they might kill me.”
Xiao Ling said, “I know. Sir, what I mean is that many people can’t do this. You haven’t been here for long, but you’re already adapted to this life. The people I’ve met before all took a long time to get this far. Sir, you’re very talented in this aspect.”
“… Are you praising or insulting me?”
“Praising you.”
“Then, thank you.”
A person and a system chatted happily behind Li Yu as they made for the hot spring.
“Wait,” Bai Yang finally reacted. “Did a lot of people go through this program before me?”
“Yes. Before you, many others tested it.”
Bai Yang was struck with curiosity. “Am I the only one in this world right now? Are there other people here?”
Xiao Ling didn’t reply.
“Xiao Ling?”
“Sir, we’ve arrived at the hot spring. Go on!” After saying that, it was as if Xiao Ling died. It wouldn’t respond, no matter what.
Bai Yang called for Xiao Ling twice, but when he didn’t get a response, he gave up.
“Lord Xie?” Li Yu’s cold voice sounded.
Bai Yang, broken from his thoughts, saw a hot spring in front of him. Even from where he stood, he could feel the spirit energy radiating from the spring.
If someone could meditate there, they’d get twice the results with half the effort.
Bai Yang was overjoyed and walked to the hot spring.
“There it is,” Li Yu said. “Farewell.”
“Walk slowly, I won’t send you.” Bai Yang waved his hand, annoyed by the Li Yu’s cold attitude. Bai Yang was in that world to complete a task anyway, so people’s attitudes didn’t matter. Since everyone around him were just sets of data, Bai Yang felt less compelled to care.
Li Yu spun around and left.
Looking around with his senses, he didn’t see anyone, so he took off his clothes and walked into the hot spring.
The powerful spirit energy entered through all his pores. It was so comfortable, Bai Yang almost got XX up.
Bai Yang directed the spirit energy to repair his meridians.
After circulating the spirit energy through his body a few times, Bai Yang felt much better.
When he opened his eyes, he found that the sky was bright.
“What time is it?” Bai Yang asked Xiao Ling.
Xiao Ling replied, “It’s already the second day, Sir.”
“I cultivated for that long?” Bai Yang had a hard time believing that. One could control how long they cultivated. Bai Yang thought he would sit for two hours or so, not a whole night!
“It’s because of your injuries.” Xiao Ling said, “Please pay more attention in the future. If the injury is severe and you don’t get treatment in time, you could end up dying.”
Thanks for reminding me.
“With an injury, I can’t control how long I cultivate? If someone came to kill me, I wouldn’t even know how I died!” Bai Yang’s heart trembled in fear.
“Sir…” Xiao Ling had something it was afraid to say.
“What is it?” Bai Yang asked with trepidation.
Silent for a moment, Xiao Ling spoke, “The Demon King showed up once, in the middle.”
Oh shoot theories theories 🤭
Aaaaww aaaaaw demon kiiiiing your hidden love is showing too much!! I love it fufufufufu
Did he steal xe ze tian tofu a bit in the spring?
I bet the Demon King got an eyeful. 😏
Is there of a possibility of the demon lord to be a player too? Please say yes so that they can be together too in the real world 😆
I think yes
so my guess is that the demon king is another person in the program too!
Thank you for your hard work translating! Going forward, would you mind correcting the host/minor villain character’s name to “Xie Ze Tian”?
So am I the only one to think that the Demon King might be his big brother?
I thought so too at first but the Demon King is now my chosen ML so all those conflicting thoughts of before have been eliminated, no incest.💭🔫🍃🙏
Oh man this is getting interesting >w<
Also demon lord you peeping tom~
Thanks a lot for the update😊😋
Thanks for the hard work love the story ^_^
Hehe Demon King saw him naked..☺😂👌
Thanks for the chapter!😚💕🙏
If there are other players in the game, then the demon king and hero have high chances of being them. There’s also a possibility that the other demon lords are, too. It’ll be interesting to see how all this turns out.
Thanks for the chapter
” Since everyone around him were just sets of data, Bai Yang felt less compelled to care.”
Poor earnest Demon King, Bai Yang thinks he’s just a dataset.
Esto se está poniendo interesante, espero que el rey demonio Yong Ye también sea una persona del mundo real y no solo datos.
Gracias por el capitulo.(＾▽＾)
