The Demon King Always Thinks I'm Secretly in Love with HimChapter 29

“The boy who got the Dragon Blade was, apparently, called Zhou Ying. He was once a low ranking disciple, but then he found the Dragon Blade. His luck was way too good. General Luo suspected that he is the prophesized Son of the Seven Stars.”

As he finished speaking, Xiao Ling asked Bai Yang in a panic, “Sir, how can you say this? The Demon King wants to kill the Son of the Seven Stars! What if he listens to you and kills Zhou Ying?”

  Gr0lpj

“Are you stupid? Didn’t you just hear the Demon King say that Luo Jian Feng already informed him of the situation? He might’ve already known about Zhou Ying’s existence. I failed to kill Zhou Ying twice, so how could he not be suspicious? The best way to deal with this is to confess it myself.”

 

“But…”

“Don’t worry, I have a plan.” Bai Yang continued.

 

The Demon King of Eternal Night, as expected, became interested. “So you’re saying that boy who owns the Dragon Blade could be the Son of the Seven Stars?”

  hX6PDY

“Yes, my Lord.” Bai Yang said, “but do you know why I didn’t kill him after I kidnapped him from the Heavenly Execution Stage?”

 

The Demon King’s voice was steady, “Oh, why?”

  wpzyRi

Bai Yang said, “At the time, I had only wanted to just steal the Jade Cloud Pearl, but I heard about the Dragon Blade at the base of the mountain. Thus, I wanted to swiftly steal the Dragon Blade as well. When I kidnapped that boy, I wanted to kill him to steal the Dragon Blade, but later, I realized that the sword had already established a close connection with the boy. If I killed the teen, the Dragon Blade would also self-destruct. This is why I, your subordinate did nothing.”

 

Bai Yang continued, “Later, people from the Soaring Clouds Sect caught up with me. That brat and the daughter of the Sect Head were cunning, and grabbed an opportunity to escape. Your subordinate didn’t have energy to spare then, which is why they aren’t dead now. This subordinate failed to report this matter to you promptly, your Highness, nor did I realize that the teen could have been the Son of the Seven Stars. This subordinate has neglected his duties. Your Highness, please punish me.”

After he finished, Bai Yang kneeled on the ground, his expression sincere.

What he said seemed logical. Aside from leaving out that he already knew the Male Lead, and was wholeheartedly protecting him, everything he said was true.

  Mao3VW

The reason Bai Yang revealed so much because he feared that Luo Jian Feng already told his suspicions and guesses to the Demon King. If the Demon King began to doubt him, it would be inconvenient to act on his future plans. Furthermore, if the Demon King turned his attention to the Male Lead, even if the Male Lead doesn’t die, he’d still lose a layer of skin. Thus, it was safer for him to confess and then think of a plan to protect the Male Lead.

 

The Demon King was silent for a moment. “You hurried here so anxiously just to tell me this?”

Bai Yang paused. He thought the Demon King would follow up by asking about the Son of the Seven Star matter, but he didn’t.

Bai Yang had rushed back to the Demon Realm without telling anyone. He’d even hurried thousands of miles to the Western Quadrant of the Demon Realm. His urgency was obvious.

  0YOsdk

No wonder the Demon King kept asking questions. Was he suspicious already?

Bai Yang was only thinking about returning and using the Demon King to protect the Male Lead. He was so anxious that he forgot about the character problem.

“What do I do, Xiao Ling?” Bai Yang felt a little regretful.

 

Xiao Ling said, “Sir, I don’t know, either. You need to figure this out for yourself.”

  VHszbJ

It’s useless during critical moments!

 

“What are you good for?!”

  3rNBlL

“I was originally just a monitoring system.” Xiao Ling was offended.

 

Knowing he couldn’t count on Xiao Ling, Bai Yang’s brain began to spin. He didn’t answer the Demon King right away.

  M3IOSb

The hall fell silent.

 

The Demon King also seemed patient. He quietly waited without rushing Bai Yang.

  u67OFi

Bai Yang didn’t know what to say, so he was silent.

It was after a while that the Demon King said, “You said the Dragon Blade has already become one with the boy?”

  rkEUIm

“Yes.” Bai Yang hurriedly answered.

 

“If you wanted to obtain the Dragon Blade, you can’t kill him?”

  snl68P

“Yes.” Bai Yang paused, before adding, “For now.”

 

“Oh?”

  K31DiN

“When a martial artist from the Human Realm reaches the Nascent Soul Stage, weapons connected to their life force would have to reestablish their connection. If you shatter that person’s Nascent Soul during that time, you’ll be able to take away the weapon connected to his life force.”

 

“So if I want to obtain the Dragon Blade, I have to wait until that boy reaches the Nascent Soul Stage?”

  A9GBRm

“That’s what I meant.”

 

Bai Yang bowed his head and waited. He said what he did understanding that telling him not kill the Male Lead wouldn’t work, and might raise suspicion. However, if he agreed to kill the Male Lead but on a later date, the Demon King could find that acceptable.

  mtXKBZ

“The Dragon Blade is a treasure. It’s rumored that if you refine it, you could obtain immeasurable power.”

The Demon King’s voice wasn’t slow, nor fast, and had no sense of urgency or surprise. It was as though he was talking about an insignificant topic, not about the treasure everyone was vying for.

  0CYJGB

Bai Yang blurted out, “If your Highness obtains the Dragon Blade, your skills would increase a level. You might even ascend.”

 

“Your words move even me,” The Demon King laughed softly. “Okay, we can let him have his life for now. However, he needs to be within my control. If he is the Son of the Seven Stars, kill him once and for all.”

  lHcgow

Upon hearing those words, Bai Yang knew that the Male Lead was safe for now.

 

“Of course.” Bai Yang said.

  6XtvMj

“We can’t neglect the goal of finding the Son of the Seven Stars.” So the Demon King of Eternal Night wasn’t sure whether Zhou Ying was the Son of the Seven Stars or not.

 

Bai Yang loudly agreed and released his breath in his heart. The Demon King would let Zhou Ying live! The Male Lead would be safe at least until he reached the Nascent Soul Stage.

  0SkKN1

As for what would happen after he reached the Nascent Soul Stage… we should take it one step at a time.

 

With his biggest problem resolved, and so smoothly, Bai Yang was thrilled. He looked at the Demon King’s silhouette and emitted a subtle feeling of gratitude and embarrassment. He couldn’t help but say, “Your Highness, your injury…”

  1R6lpy

“I am very well.” The Demon King’s voice drifted from behind the sheer curtain, “Don’t worry.”

 

Chrysanthemum Garden.

With such few words, Bai Yang felt he didn’t want to bring up his Qi Deviation, so Bai Yang didn’t mention it.

  jJwPCW

Bai Yang backed out and found someone to ask about what happened to the Western Demon Lord.

 

The Western Demon Lord was always a tyrannical person, so after a thousand years he couldn’t stay still any longer. No one knew where he got the treasure, which was rumored to raise your skill level above everyone else. It was only after obtaining it that he rebelled.

  61doi4

The Demon King of Eternal Night put down the rebellion and fought the other in a long, hard battle. In the end, when faced with the Demon King’s power, the Western Demon Lord was still defeated. However, it appeared the rumor about his treasure increasing your strength is true, so the Demon King was injured during the fight.

 

Bai Yang remembered the Demon King’s silhouette behind the curtain, and felt things might not be as they seemed at first glance.

  dSDujQ

The Demon King might not have been injured, but he was in the midst of Qi Deviation. Such a big fight would not be good for his condition. Bai Yang feared that things must not be good, or they wouldn’t have spread the rumor of the Demon King being injured.

 

Bai Yang felt he was letting the Demon King down. To make up to him, he talked to the guards and helped strengthen the array around the palace. Without realizing, a whole day had passed.

  GBVIs5

It was natural that the masses would want to celebrate their victory, so the Western Palace was set up as a banquet hall. The Demon King wanted people to watch over their prisoners, but that didn’t mean they weren’t allowed to celebrate. On the day of the party, he attended the event himself and rewarded those who made big contributions.

 

When everyone saw his expression normal and in good spirits, they knew that the rumors were false. The Demon King wasn’t injured at all.

  mGkIDd

Bai Yang understood that the Demon King wanted to comfort his people. Bai Yang, however, had to swap in for the Demon King now and then as he went drinking and the like. Xie Ze Tian had experience doing such things, so Bai Yang followed his memories. He wasn’t very skilled at first, but he got better as time went on.

  1. Demon King: He must have used the excuse of reporting to hurry here when he knew about my injury. He even strengthened the array in my palace. Wifey is so thoughtful.

    Thanks for the chapter!

  2. OMG The Demon King is so into him!! even looking down on such important matters to ask about Bai Yang motivations to be there, i’m so soft! Also, I’m looking forward to see some jealousy here… Maybe Bai Yang will have to make out with some servants to stay in character and the King (who’s been wathing BY even in his mansion) will eat some vinegar and acknowledge his feelings haha just kidding….unless???

  3. Thank you for translating! ^_^ 💕💖 Honestly, every chapter is so damn amusing that I fell in love with it hahahaha I probably wouldn’t have read this if not for you translators, so shout out to all of you!!
