Bai Yang was a bit unsettled. Xiao Ling had accompanied him from the very beginning and had never left his side. They’ve already formed deep affection for each other. You can put it like this, Xiao Ling gave him a strong sense of security in this world.
When he ran into a difficult situation, having someone with him would lessen his nervousness, even if they couldn’t help him.
Now that Xiao Ling suddenly left, Bai Yang couldn’t adapt.
Is she really okay?
He was full of doubt on the inside, and his anxiousness displayed on his face.
He called out Xiao Ling’s name nonstop in his mind, but Xiao Ling never replied.
As a system, she was perfectly fine so why would she want to sleep?
Phoenix City was getting sleepy? What happened to Phoenix City?
Bai Yang thought carefully, there was nothing out of the ordinary. He only saved the male lead Zhou Ying in Phoenix City, that has nothing to do with Xiao Ling!
He called Xiao Ling’s name inside his mind, but Xiao Ling was quiet as ever. Like that, two days passed.
After making sure Xiao Ling wouldn’t reply, he gave up trying to communicate and focused on his task.
After coming this far, he should be able to hold on even if he was by himself.
At every chance he got, he would praise the Demon King, expressing his devotion. To get out, he threw away all his moral principles. Speaking of that, even he was quite embarrassed.
Three days passed, and he finally moved the Demon King. After dealing with his work, he would ask the guards about Bai Yang’s behaviour in his free time. Hearing that Bai Yang praised him endlessly, his face went a bit red.
And so, as he hoped, the Demon King finally came to his room and did him again without a word.
To lift the prohibition, Bai Yang forced himself to stay and take it. He even tried to take initiative to tempt him. As a result, the Demon King got even more excited and they did it for the entire night.
The next day, the Demon King gazed at the exhausted Bai Yang in contentment. He was filled with an indescribable warmth. His heart softened and he lifted his prohibition.
After getting what he wanted, Bai Yang was completely knocked out.
Resting for the entire morning, Bai Yang woke up excited in the evening, ready to go and search for an escape route. In the back garden, he ran into a familiar person——Hua Feihua.
He looked to be in a hurry, like he just got here from far. He smiled when he saw Bai Yang, “Master Xie, what a coincidence.”
“Yes, what a coincidence.” Bai Yang smiled absentmindedly and asked without thinking, “What is Master Hua doing here at the Palace of Eternal Darkness so late?”
Hua Feihua said: “Oh, I found something His Highness always wanted today at the Borderlands, so I came to deliver it.”
“What thing?” Bai Yang asked curiously.
Hua Feihua didn’t answer, saying with a smile: “I heard His Highness and you brought back the Son of the Seven Stars from the mortal realm?”
Bai Yang was startled, that had already been leaked out?
Nothing showed on his face, and he nodded indifferently: “That’s right.”
Hua Feihua stepped closer, a faint smell of cosmetics came from the crossdresser that was quite sexy. He lowered his voice and said: “I also heard that it seems like that son of destiny is Master Xie’s son?”
Bai Yang: “……”
Looks like the news has already spread to the outside. They should already know the bit about him being his son, I wonder what they think?
Bai Yang nodded vaguely, “You can say that.”
Hua Feihua looked very shocked, raising a thin eyebrow, “He really is your son?”

Bai Yang let out the breath he’d been holding.
Hua Feihua nodded in friendliness, leaving towards the main hall, probably to see the Demon King.
After learning that Bai Yang was the Demon King’s, Hua Feihua began to keep his distance and was always polite, not joking around like he used to.
Bai Yang gazed in the direction he left at the main hall. The grand palace was hidden under the darkness of the night, and the candle light flickered. Grand, imposing, dignified, it all symbolized the eternal unchanging demon realm.
He knows the Demon King is inside that palace.
Bai Yang sighed and retracted his gaze, continuing to investigate the surrounding routes.
While he was mulling over how he could escape without a trace, Hua Feihua had already arrived, hurrying into the brightly lit hall.
“This subordinate asks to see Your Majesty.”
The Demon King was conversing with someone, Hua Feihua kneeled on one knee and spoke.
The Demon King nodded slightly, wrapping up his conversation and saying: “You can leave for now.”
“Yes, Your Highness.” That person bowed and retreated out of the hall.
Only the Demon King and Hua Feihua were left in the main hall.
The Demon King said: “Why have you suddenly returned?”
He had sent Hua Feihua to the Borderlands, but now he suddenly appeared back here, did something happen?
Hua Feihua lowered his head, ”After the rebellion of the other sides, they were active in the Borderlands. Zhong Shuo has already completely suppressed the land, along with killing all the remaining traitors. He will be returning in a few days.”
“Good!” The Demon King exclaimed and praised, “Well done! He will be rewarded handsomely when he returns!”
Anyone could tell that he was in high-spirits.
The two discussed arrangements for the Borderlands briefly. Then, Hua Feihua changed the topic and asked: “Your Highness, I heard something on the way back, Master Xie had a son in the mortal realm? And his son just so happens to be the Son of the Seven Stars that’s in the way of Your Highness?”
Hearing that, he pursed his lips slightly and didn’t speak.
Hua Feihua continued to ask: “Your Highness, this situation sounds very suspicious, has Your Highness never suspected anything?”
The Demon King opened his mouth to speak: “I tested it with the blood arts myself, they are indeed blood-related.
Hearing that, Hua Feihua was very shocked, “Really?”
The Demon King nodded, “Although I don’t believe it, the blood art showed that Zhou Ying is indeed Xie Zetian’s son.”
The paused before continuing: “Seeing as Zhou Ying is Xie Zetian’s son, of course I won’t kill him without reason. If he is willing to surrender and come to our side, naturally I would treat him well.
If it weren’t for the fact that he experienced it himself, nobody would believe that something like this was true.
Hua Feihua also believed that the Demon King was telling the truth. Since it was the truth, then it is clear that the blood art confirmed that Xie Zetian and Zhou Ying are father and son……
Hua Feihua tidied up his thoughts and muttered to himself for a moment, before saying: “Your Highness, the reason for this subordinate rushing back was one, to report the situation over at Zhong Shuo’s front, and two, to bring back something for you.
“What is it?” The Demon King cocked his head in curiosity.
Hua Feihua lowered his head, taking out a silk bag from his front.
Opening up the bag, a palm-sized mirror floated out, growing to the size of a watermelon in mid-air. The mirror’s body was pure black, made out of an unknown material. The sides were bumpy, like it wasn’t sanded down properly when made, extremely rustic looking.
The silver surface of the mirror was like a lake, not reflecting anything.
“A mirror?” The Demon King was shocked.
“This is the Mirror of Truth.” As Hua Feihua spoke, the mirror floated to the Demon King’s hand. “If anyone lies towards the mirror, then it will reflect that person’s appearance.”
The Demon King suddenly remembered, Hua Feihua had indeed recommended the Mirror of Truth and the South Sea’s Mermaid Pearl. He also had Hua Feihua go find them. He wanted these items before to get on the good side of Xie Zetian, but now……
The Demon King’s fingers bent slightly, before he spread them again.
“Good, I need this mirror now.” The Demon King took the mirror and looked it over. The obviously smooth surface didn’t reflect anything, it was really mysterious.
It felt ice cold in his hand, with a faint, bizarre pulse.
It is indeed a treasure.
He spoke without thinking: “I love Xie Zetian.”
There was no reaction from the mirror.
He said again: “I love Hua Feihua.”
Hua Feihua: “……”
The Demon King’s face appeared in the mirror.
The Demon King said in surprise: “So it can really tell if someone is lying.”
Hua Feihua didn’t know why he had mixed feelings. He said: “Your Highness should refrain from using it often, you can only ask it ten questions at once.”
The Demon King raised his head and said in shock: “Why didn’t you say so earlier? I just asked it two questions?”
Hua Feihua nodded.
The Demon King sighed regrettably, tucking away the mirror, “Thank you for your hard work.”
Hua Feihua bowed and said: “This subordinate asks for permission to leave.”
With the mirror in hand, the Demon King felt impatient. He understood what Hua Feihua meant, he also wanted to relieve the suspicion in his heart.
Sending Hua Feihua away, he rushed to the bedroom.
Finding that Bai Yang went out, he chased after him impatiently.
Bai Yang had drawn up an escape route and planned to rush back. Halfway there, he bumped into the Demon King. He froze, before happily greeting him: “Your Highness, what are you doing out here?”
The Demon King was also in high spirits, both his body and mind had been satisfied while he was with Bai Yang the past few days. He really did miss Bai Yang a lot, letting his imagination run wild when he saw him. His face flushed slightly and said a bit shyly: “I heard you went out, so I came to find you.”
Came to find me?
Bai Yang’s asshole clenched as he heard that, scalp tingling as he saw his shyness.
When the Demon King got shy, that meant his ass was about to become a water jar.
He began to feel phantom pain below.
He forced himself to be calm and said: “This subordinate is really moved to tears seeing Your Highness’s love.”
Yeah right!
All he fucking wants to do all day and night is that, is there anything else he thinks about in that head of his?
Bai Yang’s balls hurt.
The Demon King walked over to pat his hair, saying affectionately: “You’re my queen, so loving you is what I should do. Speaking of, isn’t it almost time for us to hold the ceremony?”
Before, Bai Yang did all that he could to fight for half a year to date. Now that most of that time had passed, the Demon King’s thoughts began to stir again.
Bai Yang’s mind wasn’t even on that matter. He only realized after hearing the Demon King’s words——Half a year had passed so fast!
He screamed on the insead, but he said: “I never would’ve thought that time would pass by so fast when I’m by Your Highness’ side, I didn’t even realize that it has already been half a year.”
Ahhhhhh, can time pass by slower?
The Demon King was very happy, “That’s right, time would pass by so fast when I’m with you. Especially at night, it passes by in a flash……”
……Fuck! You think a whole night is still not enough?!
Bai Yang felt the phantom pain on his ass get worse.
He guessed that the Demon King wanted to do that thing again, but his body really can’t take it anymore. He said in a cold-sweat: “Your Highness, the night sky looks great tonight, why don’t we go for a walk?”
The Demon King looked up at the pitch-black sky, and muttered to himself before saying: “Zetian wants to go out tonight?”
Bai Yang nodded fiercely, “Right, I really want to.”
It best be for the whole night, don’t even think about doing that thing.
The Demon King laughed, “Alright, I just so happened to have something to ask you, let’s go.”
He leaned over to hold Bai Yang, using teleportation to leave the Palace, arriving at another place soon after.
They stopped, and Bai Yang looked around——black rocks, black dust floating in the air, barren ground…… it was all very familiar.
Bai Yang turned around, as expected, he saw the black miasma rising from the ravine, a gorgeous sight.
He remembered what the Demon King told him the last time he brought him here. This is where his parents got engaged.
The Demon King’s interests were always unique, he always picked these places with miasma running amuck.
But, as long as he could prevent him from doing that thing, miasma was fine.
Bai Yang grit his teeth and tolerated it.
“Your Highness?” Bai Yang pretended to be surprised and said, “Isn’t this where we came last time?”
The Demon King nodded, walking to his side and gazed down at the miasma coming from the ravine.
Bai Yang forced himself to praise, “It’s really pretty.”
He didn’t know what the Demon King was thinking and he didn’t reply.
Bai Yang asked carefully, “Your Highness?”
The Demon King’s weird attitude made him a bit unsettled. Thinking about what the Demon King said before, Bai Yang asked: “Your Highness said you had something to ask me, what is it?”
He swears that he only asked that to break the suffocated silence between them, nothing else, but the Demon King seemed to be moved.
He turned his back to Bai Yang and fell silent for a moment. Suddenly, he said in a low voice: “Zetian, my parents got engaged here, you and I also expressed our devotion to each other here. Can I trust you?”
Why would he suddenly ask that?
Bai Yang’s heart thumped, immediately answering with confidence: “Of course you can trust me!”
The Demon King turned around and looked him up and down in all seriousness. He raised his hand and took out a mirror in front of Bai Yang’s confused stare.
“This is the Mirror of Truth. If you lie, it will reflect your appearance.” The Demon King said.
Bai Yang: “……!”
Bai Yang tensed up at once, stuttering: “Your, Your Highness, why are you suddenly……”
Ahhhh! He was done for!
Bai Yang panicked at the sudden attack, he didn’t know how to fool the Demon King. The Demon King didn’t give him an opportunity, asking directly: “Let me ask you, is Zhou Ying your son?”
O sh*t i really hope they can listen to each other properly this time lol
I hope so too!!!

Mirror attack POW
This is one very high cliff!
Wait wait wait. I suddenly realized! This is Bai Yang’s perfect opportunity to confess! I mean the only reason he said Zhou Ying’s his son is because the Demon King did not believe him about dying if male lead dies right? This is the best time to clear the misunderstanding!
Thanks for the chapter <3
