Lying on his bed, a wave of dizziness suddenly hit Yu Xingqiao. His vision went black and when he opened his eyes again, he was already in that dark corridor again.
This time, he could see a little more clearly; the corridor was not entirely dark. Occasionally, a shooting star or two would flash by.
At the end of the corridor, the same shining door stood still.
The youth couldn’t help but grin softly.
He didn’t need to be reminded by the system this time. He ran over to it quickly and pushed the shining door open with both hands.
Beyond the light door.
Was the same dark room and the same small fluorescent lamp.
The little black ball was still fluttering its wings, flying slowly in the air as specks of fairy dust fell to the ground.
Yu Xingqiao’s eyes were curved with excitement.
He ran through the shining door barefooted, as happy as a child who was given sweets for the first time. Opening his arms wide, he brought the little black ball into his arms.
The small dark room was not big enough to support his movements. Therefore, when he managed to bring the little black ball into his arms, his whole body fell backwards towards the bed due to inertia.
In order to protect the little black ball in his arms, Yu Xingqiao turned his feet and fell with his back facing the bedboard.
In fact, he should have fallen really hard but he didn’t feel any pain at all.
He held the soft little black ball in his arms and panted lightly. He faced the ceiling as fairy dust fell from above and he revealed a bright smile.
Is the starry night sky just like this?
As for Jun Lu ……
His whole ball shaped body was dumbfounded.
If anyone who was flying was suddenly hugged by an invisible person and fell on the bed together, they would have been confused for a moment.
But Jun Lu didn’t struggle, he just thought ——
Why did the master…… appear again so soon?
Although he could not see him, Jun Lu could clearly perceive that the one holding him at the moment was the one who pulled him out of the dark abyss and sang a lullaby to coax him to sleep …… his demon master.
But why did he appear again?
Wasn’t the master always very mysterious?
Jun Lu recalled everything that had just happened, and then …… he felt his face starting to burn up again.
Had the master appeared again because …… he had just said he missed him?
Listening to the not-so-strong heartbeat in his ears, Jun Lu relaxed slightly.
Something was breaking through the ground and taking root in his heart. With a little more sunshine and a sprinkle of water, it was as though it could sprout and perhaps one day grow into a firmament tree.
However, at this moment, he didn’t recognise it clearly.
He genuinely felt that it was a great joy to be around this demon who had always warmed and indulged him.
He did not want to deny this kind of joy any longer.
Previously, he had felt that he had no right to feel happy again until he had succeeded in his revenge. Because if he did, he would have let down his royal father and mother.
But after nearly being consumed by the darkness, Jun Lu had now changed his mind. He needed a little bit of emotion like this to keep him going.
“Boji Boji——”

Master.

Because his voice was particularly soft and delicate, he sounded spoiled.
When the cub was talking, he could still understand some words and phrases. With this boji boji sound, he could still roughly judge his emotions from the tone of his voice; however, he couldn’t completely understand the content of it at all.
Without the system to translate, it was very inconvenient!
“System, could you translate what the cub is saying for me?”
Yu Xingqiao subconsciously said. However, only after speaking did he realise something and couldn’t help but glance down at the little black ball in his arms.
There was no reaction.
What? Yu Xingqiao sensed that something was wrong. Could it be that the cub could not hear his voice?
Although he could hear him, he probably couldn’t understand him. However, even if he couldn’t understand him, it was impossible for him to have no reaction.
Yu Xingqiao frowned slightly.
“Warning, please do not perform any additional actions other than hugging. Otherwise, this passage will be closed immediately.”
At this moment, the emotionless electronic voice rang out, vaguely responding to what he had just said.
However, Yu Xingqiao was not discouraged and replied, “I am indeed hugging the cub, I did not do any other actions ah. I’m simply only asking you to help me translate what the cub is saying to me.”
“Communication also belongs to actions other than hugging.”
“Communication, communication, surely there must be two people for it to be considered communication, right? Let me ask you, can the cub hear what I’m saying?”
The system did not utter a word.
Yu Xingqiao furrowed his brows more tightly, the cub really can’t hear him talking ……
Being able to see yet not hear? What kind of operation is this?
However, he should first strive for the benefits.
He continued to do his best and directly took out a killer deal, “How about I give you 10,000 diamonds if you help me translate my words?”
I don’t believe you won’t say yes!
The system did not reply.
After waiting for a while, just as Yu Xingqiao’s confidence was going to crumble a little, the emotionless mechanical voice rang out in his ears.
“One hundred thousand.”
The very short 3 words were filled with a sense of arrogance.
“Okay, one hundred thousand diamonds, deal!” Yu Xingqiao directly clapped his hands.
It was only ten thousand, an insignificant amount!
Seemingly because Yu Xingqiao answered too casually, the system’s voice rang out again, “One hundred thousand cash.”
Yu Xingqiao paused for a moment.
“Huh? Forget it, forget it then.” He said indifferently.
He acted coldly, but the system was anxious. The cold and emotionless electronic voice finally showed a bit of humanity, “Alright, one hundred thousand diamonds.”
Yu Xingqiao raised his eyebrows, “Won’t it be too much of a loss?”
“No.”
“Okay then.”
Yu Xingqiao replied unwillingly, but at the bottom of his heart, he was secretly happy.
As if he was worried that he would back out again, although Yu Xingqiao’s current account balance did not have so many diamonds, the system was very conscientious in allowing Yu Xingqiao to loan this amount.
This was very comfortable.
Yu Xingqiao thought cheerfully.
Unfortunately, the cub didn’t continue to call for him and he couldn’t do anything else other than hugging, so he couldn’t tease him to talk.
What a shame.
But Yu Xingqiao was patient, either way he had already earned the benefits. There would certainly be a use for them later.
After Jun Lu called out to his master, he quieted down.
He wasn’t upset when he didn’t hear an answer.
Because he himself didn’t know why he had made that sound just now. It seemed as though he didn’t want to get a response but just simply wanted to call out.
In the dark room, Yu Xingqiao was lying on the bed, holding the little black ball in his arms. Looking leisurely at the ceiling, his little legs dangled from the bed, swaying gently.
This was the first time he had left the sterile room without a protective suit.
No, it was the second time. During the first time, he thought that he was in a dream, and his attention was entirely on the cub, so he completely didn’t pay attention to any of his other feelings.
The small fluorescent light emitted a faint glow that grew brighter the closer he got to the source; he could see the snowflake-like dust drifting gently in the air.
It was a sight he had once seen in a television drama, but could never see in reality.
Because those little particles had countless microorganisms on them, each of which could have taken his life.
But now, he was exposed to the normal environment and nothing happened at all!
No organ failure, no difficulty in breathing!
Yu Xingqiao was simply too excited.
Moreover, he was holding his favourite cub in his arms, could there be anything happier in life than this?
The young man hugged the little black ball in his arms tightly and grinned with a silly smile on his face.
In the dark room, a warm and quiet atmosphere flowed.
“Cough cough cough-”
Just as quickly, a violent cough broke the silence.
“Aiya, this old bone of mine. It’s been a long time since I’ve suffered so much ……”
The old voice of the Grand Elder Fairy rang out.
Yu Xingqiao and Jun Lu, couldn’t help but look at the direction where the voice came from.
Only to see that on the floor, a shadow had unknowingly arisen, and a little old man wearing a pointy wizard’s hat, crawled out of the shadow with difficulty ——
Unexpectedly, it was the Grand Elder Fairy who had been imprisoned in the Shadow Cage by Jun Lu!
He was the first person to escape all by himself from the Shadow Cage Jun Lu had set!
Jun Lu narrowed his eyes slightly.
However, he quickly understood why. Afterall, the Grand Elder Fairy had lived for at least a thousand years, so he must have some hidden skills.
His recent success in locking him up was probably because at that moment, the darkness eroded his soul and his shadow power had skyrocketed.
But since he had suppressed the darkness, his power was reduced back to its original state. Him escaping from it was actually expected.
However ……
Thinking that the demon master was still present, Jun Lu felt a tinge of nervousness in his heart.
Would the master think that he was too useless ……
At that moment, Jun Lu felt that the person holding him suddenly changed his position.
Originally he was being held from the front and was lying on the bed with him. Suddenly, the man sat up and placed him on his lap, wrapping his arms gently around him.
He could feel a warm feeling coming from the man’s palms. His demon master must have lived like a prince, his palms were smooth and delicate, unlike someone who had spent all their time using weapons.
But this did not hinder the master’s strength. Just from the fact that he could directly instil him with a skill, there was no doubt about the master’s power.
Was the master now …… interested in the Grand Elder Fairy?
Jun Lu carefully surveyed the little old man on the ground.
It must be said that fairies were indeed blessed by the heavens with a good appearance even for an old elder, he looked very proper.
However, was the Master interested in him because of the Grand Elder’s status and experience? With this point, he really couldn’t compare…
Although the little black ball did not have eyes, the Grand Elder Fairy could feel a fierce line of sight landing on him, as if it was going to pierce him through.
He rigidly lifted his head up and saw… …
A small black ball suspended on the bed?
A little black ball with fairy wings and a pacifier in its mouth.
Hmm? It was definitely the same soul imprint… …
But weren’t the youngs of the Light Clan always little balls of light? Is that what they turn into after being corrupted by darkness?
But to his surprise, the darkness around the little black ball was not very strong. Obviously, something had happened to help him stabilise.
“Your Highness, it’s wonderful that you’re alright!” The little old man said cheerfully.
The author has something to say:
Little black ball: go away, don’t come near my master!
Grand Elder: ????
