The Demon King’s expression changed for a moment, and countless emotions flashed through his beautiful eyes. It was as though he was pondering something extremely important, so he didn’t immediately answer Bai Yang.
It was after a long time, about a minute, the Demon King finally started to speak.
He coughed, before calmly stating, “Since you love me so much — cough cough — then I must reluctantly accept how you feel. You don’t have to be too touched by that.”
The tips of his ears turned red as he spoke.
Bai Yang: “…”
He was just wondering how to tactfully communicate to the Almighty Demon King that he was overthinking it, when the Demon King began to talk again.
His words were serious, “Xie Ze Tian, I’ve lived for more than 4,000 years and I have never loved another. I don’t know about love, which is why I kept telling you I didn’t like you. Then you wouldn’t waste your time.”
Bai Yang thought, Then this is amazing! You don’t like me, and I don’t like you! Your Highness, keep it up!
“I know you’ve done a lot for me. When I gave you a reward last time, you didn’t even look at it.” The Demon King’s expression was complex. “Xie Ze Tian, I know you don’t like those things, and I know what you want. However, I’m sorry. I don’t know much about love, so I can’t give it to you.”
Uh?
Although the Demon King misunderstood, it still turned out okay. At least he doesn’t love me.
In this way, the situation was resolved.
Bai Yang released a sigh of relief in his heart and even felt a little happy. The Demon King misunderstood what I wanted, so he might even be feeling guilty. So no matter what I do in the future, he’ll still put up with me. This is good, if I think about it that way.
The Demon King stopped talking, so Bai Yang lifted his head to stare at him, uncertain. He wondered what the Demon King would next.
Also, Almighty Demon King, you’ve been caressing my face this whole time. Isn’t your hand sore? Don’t you feel awkward?
Since you don’t like me, you should probably stop or else people will misunderstand again.
As if he heard Bai Yang’s inner voice, the Demon King retracted his hand from Bai Yang’s cheek, but not how Bai Yang imagined. The Demon King’s hand slid from his face to his neck and then down towards his chest.
What?
Bai Yang’s whole body twitched.
Wait, this doesn’t seem right.

His voice was low and his head was tilted down. Bai Yang noticed that the tips of his ears were burning red, which was unexpectedly cute.
However, Bai Yang was still out of it.
What?
What do I want?
Bai Yang’s mind was filled with question marks. What he wanted the most was for the Male Lead to ascend ASAP so he could complete his mission and go home.
“I know you’ve always wanted my body and, although I can’t give you my feelings, it’s not too much for me to let you feel happy, just once,” the Demon King said, somewhat awkwardly. “I confess, this is my first time, so you should be honored.”
Bai Yang: “!!!!!”
The heavenly thunder rumbled; bad people will be punished by the heavens.
Bai Yang hadn’t reacted when the Demon King hooked onto Bai Yang’s neck and pulled his head forward.
Two warm things covered Bai Yang’s lips.
What?
What, what?
What, what, what?
Bai Yang’s mind was blank.
Xiao Ling, who was in his brain, screamed, “Oh my gooooooood!”
Bai Yang got a headache from it’s shouting and asked, “Xiao Ling, what does the Demon King mean?”
“What does he mean?” Xiao Ling’s voice was sharp, “He wants to fuck you!!!”
“… Fuck!” Bai Yang was startled by Xiao Ling’s scream, so he opened his eyes and pushed the person in front of him. But who was the Demon King? How could he be pushed down so easily? The Demon King wasn’t pushed away, but, instead, Bai Yang fell backwards into the Spirit Spring.
Bai Yang’s embarrassed struggle in the water created a large wave.
The Demon King was shocked and even a little puzzled by Bai Yang’s behavior. “Xie Ze Tian?”
Bai Yang struggled a little longer, swallowing a few gulps of water in the process, before his head emerged and said, “Your Highness, I have something to say.”
“Say it.”
Bai Yang couldn’t leave the misunderstanding any longer. “Your Highness, you’ve misunderstood. I don’t have those kinds of feelings for you. I only think you’re a respectable person, I don’t have any other feelings.”
This should be enough, I’ve made myself pretty clear.
The Demon King tilted his head. “You don’t have feelings for me?”
Bai Yang said, “Right, I’ve never had feelings for Your Highness. It’s Your Highness who misunderstood.”
The Demon King narrowed his eyes. “I misunderstood?”
Bai Yang desperately nodded. “I’ve only respect for your Highness.”
The Demon King smiled. “Then, when I asked you if you liked me, why did you say ‘yes’?”
Bai Yang: “…”
… He shot himself in the foot!
The first time the Demon King misunderstood, he leaned into the ‘I secretly love the Demon King’ assumptions completely in order to avoid questioning. Now, even if he jumped into the Yellow River, he wouldn’t be able to wash himself clean.
The Demon King was silent for a moment before he said, “Do you blame me for rejecting you?”
He then patted his forehead, seeming helpless, “No wonder you would have such a reaction. I came on too strong just now. I haven’t even figured out love and I wanted to bed you. It’s my fault.”
Bai Yang: “…”
The Demon King thought again before asking, “Did I hurt your pride?”
When you ask it like that, am I supposed to agree or not?
Bai Yang felt that the Demon King’s train of thought might have gone off in another direction again. His brain had always been strange and Bai Yang didn’t understand how he thought. Bai Yang felt he had to communicate his meaning clearly so that the Demon King wouldn’t misunderstand even a little.
“Your Highness.” He stood up straight in the spring and sucked in a deep breath. His eyes followed the Demon King closely. “I really don’t like you. I only have feelings of respect, not ones of love between men and women…”
This seems wrong.
Bai Yang corrected himself, “That’s wrong, I don’t have any feelings of love between men with Your Highness. Before, when I confessed, I was kidding. I was speaking nonsense!”
It seemed like the Demon King understood his words and the corners of his smiling lips lifted even further. “If you don’t like me, then why did you do all those things for me?”
Why did I do it?
Bai Yang was anxious. “For influence and power!”
As soon as his words came out, his mind became clearer. “Your Highness, I do everything in hopes of helping Your Highness achieve great things. Then, I would follow Your Highness to ascend to the Immortal Realm.”
The Demon King pursed his lips. “You want to ascend to the Immortal Realm?”
Bai Yang nodded, “Who doesn’t? Your Highness’s skills are unmatched and your talent is outstanding. If I follow you, I’ll achieve great things, too.”
The Demon King’s face finally cooled down. “So you did everything for influence and power?”
The surrounding pressure was low. The hot spring was warm, but Bai Yang’s whole body felt cold.
The Demon King’s expression was cold and his eyes resembled knives glinting. He felt that if he said ‘yes’, the Demon King would cut him into pieces.
Bai Yang didn’t have much courage to begin with, so confronted with the Demon King’s intense aura, the little courage he gathered up dissipated instantly. He didn’t say a word.
The Demon King reached his hand out and grabbed Bai Yang’s chin. The Demon King lifted Bai Yang’s head so that his face couldn’t turn from his sight.
“Answer me. Did you or did you not?”
Bai Yang asked Xiao Ling in his head, “What should I do now? Should I continue to mislead him or should I tell the truth?”
Xiao Ling replied, “Sir, I think he wants to kill you.”
“I don’t need you to tell me, I know that already!”
“For your life and safety, I think you should continue to mislead him.”
“But if this misunderstanding continues, if one day something does happen, he’ll kill me for sure.”
Xiao Ling sighed, “Then I don’t know what to do. The decision is up to you. Sir, figure it out yourself.”
Ah, why cliffhanger again! ლ(ﾟдﾟლ)

Lol. He tried to climb out of the pit he dug for himself and ended up falling right on into another one. Regardless of his answer, the Demon King will end up torturing him, though which part of him receives punishment depends on which pit the MC decides to hole up in. Good job Bai Yang. You’re screwed no matter what you do.
