The Male Lead and the Heroine were talking while he checked her wounds.
Upon seeing Bai Yang enter, they parted in a hurry. The Male Lead shielded Zhao Qinger without thinking.
“What are you so afraid of? I’m not going to eat you.” Bai Yang tried to mimic the Demon King of Eternal Night’s smile.
The two stared blankly at his smile.
Bai Yang walked toward them, and the Male Lead tensed. “What do you want?”
Bai Yang smiled a lecherous smile. “What do I want? Who wouldn’t be tempted by such a beauty?”
They were shocked. Zhao Qinger shrank away in fear back. “What are you doing? Stay away!”
The Male Lead blocked Bai Yang. “You can’t.”
“Move!” Bai Yang, arrogant and cold, shoved the Male Lead out of the way.
Yes, I know I can’t. She’s your wife. If I go too far, you’ll chase me down until you kill me. But I have no other options, big guy. I need to do my Daily Task and help you win the girl.
Bai Yang wept internally as he strode over to Zhao Qinger. Externally, he revealed a perverted smile as he reached down and cupped her face. “Your face is so smooth.”
Zhao Qinger believed Bai Yang wanted to take advantage of her, so she wept in terror.
“Senior, you can’t! If you take Zhao Shijie’s innocence, she’ll slit her own throat, and you won’t be able to get the Jade Cloud Pearl!” The Male Lead cried out from behind him.
At his words, Bai Yang’s hand paused.
Zhao Qinger was smart, so she pulled the sword from her waist and set it against her neck. “Stay there! If you come any closer, you can watch me die in front of you!”
Darling, I have many ways to knock the sword from your hand and keep you from moving, let alone committing suicide.
But I can’t do that.
Bai Yang stayed where he was, appearing to hesitate. His eyes narrowed. “You’re threatening me?”
“Senior, why are you so serious about a little girl? Sex is best when everyone is enjoying themselves. Look at her! Even if she’s beautiful, her crying face is so ugly. When she’s crying and noisy, isn’t it disappointing? Furthermore, everything is run down and dirty here. She hasn’t even showered. If you want to sleep with her, shouldn’t you at least check into a hotel and let her shower?”
In the book, Zhou Ying was pretty smart. Faced with this situation, he was quick to sweet talk. He even made good points.
Bai Yang inspected his surroundings, his eyebrows furrowing. He was, indeed, unsatisfied with this place.
“This girl is the Soaring Clouds Sect’s princess, and you need her to exchange for the Jade Cloud Pearl. If she killed herself, wouldn’t you be at a loss? If you really want women, I know a place that I can show you. The girls there are hundreds — if not thousands — of times prettier than this girl. Additionally, those girls are gentle, attentive, and skilled in martial arts. I promise you’ll be satisfied, but… Is that something you’d be interested in?”
The Male Lead was scheming.
If Bai Yang followed him, then he’d be able to let the Male Lead run away.
However, the villain Xie Ze Tian, wasn’t that stupid, so he had to refuse. “Hmph. I know what you’re thinking. You want a chance to escape? It’s not going to happen.”
“Senior, I won’t run away.” The Male Lead began weaving a lie. “When I entered the Hidden Flower Mirage and obtained the Dragon Blade, the other two hundred participants died. They think I killed those people. As soon as I appear, I’ll be murdered. Speaking of, I really need to thank you. If it wasn’t for your timely intervention, I’d already be dead on the Heavenly Execution Stage.” As he spoke, he bowed deeply to Bai Yang.
Brat, you’re right! If it wasn’t for me, who knows how many times you would have died already! Bai Yang thought silently. Once he saw the Male Lead trying to kiss up to him, he relaxed and played along. “You want to thank me?”
When he caught the Male Lead, he didn’t want to kill him. So, with the boy safe, Bai Yang wanted to chase him off.
“Of course, Senior. Those Soaring Clouds Sect bastards can’t tell the difference between right or wrong, and want to kill me. There’s no place for me in the cultivation world, so it’s safest with you.” He spoke just a few words, but they were intelligent and convincing
Bai Yang was waiting to be persuaded, so he was laid back. “Not bad, you’re pretty realistic.”
“Are you a demon?” The Male Lead tested.
“This Lord naturally is a demon.” Bai Yang replied arrogantly.
“You’re incredible, Senior! With only a swipe of your hand, the Soaring Clouds Sect was overwhelmed. Your skill really is incomprehensible…” The Male Lead started really buttering him up.
Bai Yang acted pleased.
Seeing Bai Yang’s pleased reaction, the Male Lead kissed his ass harder. The compliments pleased Bai Yang, so he lowered his guard toward the Male Lead. Finally, when the Male Lead suggested he go find a chicken to eat, Bai Yang agreed.
The novel’s black cloaked kidnapper was arrogant beyond belief and thought that the Male Lead would never run away, because the cultivators outside would kill him. Moreover, the Male Lead couldn’t get very far without Zhao Qinger, so he agreed to let Male Lead wander off.
Bai Yang, who knew the original plot, understood that the Male Lead would escape and contact the outside world.
Bai Yang only had to follow the actions of the black cloaked man. He needed to act like he hadn’t noticed anything, and wait.
“This is so stupid. The kidnapper went through so much effort to take him, but would just let him roam outside by himself? Does he have no sense of suspicion?” Bai Yang couldn’t believe it.
Xiao Ling: “Haha, it’s only a story, your expectations are too high. You’re thinking too much! At least it isn’t one of those war movies.”
Bai Yang pondered for a moment, and agreed.
The Male Lead went down the mountain to catch a chicken, but in actuality, he flew down to get help. They planned to ambush Bai Yang at night and rescue the Male Lead and Zhao Qinger. After their meeting, the Male Lead captured a chicken and went back up the mountain. He’d used all sorts of methods to deceive Bai Yang, and he’d praised him so much that Bai Yang almost floated into the sky.
Bai Yang went with the flow, acting like he didn’t suspect a thing. In reality, he’d already planned his escape route.
What a joke. He would definitely have to fight, but what if he couldn’t win? He’d have to run away, of course.
The moon was bright that night as the promised time drew near. Out of nowhere, the Male Lead came over with a chicken leg and said, “Senior, this is the chicken leg I roasted. The meat is tender, would you like to try?”
Bai Yang carelessly took the chicken leg.
While Bai Yang was distracted, the Male Lead took his dagger and stabbed Bai Yang. This dagger was the treasure of another sect, and it was made to restrain demonic magic.
Bai Yang knew that already, but he could only grind his teeth and take the pain.
At that moment, the people lying in wait outside charged in to attack Bai Yang. The Male Lead led Zhao Qinger away from the carnage.
Seeing them flee, Bai Yang nearly burst into tears—my mission is finally done!
All he had to do was escape from the trap he found himself in.
He was able to freely mess with the Soaring Clouds Sect using his skills, so he thought escaping would be easy. However, he didn’t consider that since the demon reappeared, the sect would request help from the ancestors of other cultivating sects. The old hermits didn’t know how long they’d cultivated; their skills were deep as a valley and only a step away from soaring.
A few had appeared this time. It was hard to say if the Demon King of Eternal Night would be able to escape, much less Bai Yang.
It was unexpected, so Bai Yang started to panic.
“Xiao Ling, I don’t remember the ancestors in the book.”
“The book it also didn’t say that Xie Ze Tian kidnapped Zhao Qinger and Zhou Ying.”
“…”
Bai Yang was speechless. He rushed around inside the magic seal, trying to find an exit.
At that point, he’d forgotten about the Jade Cloud Pearl and could only focus on survival.
But the old ancestors were too strong, he couldn’t find a gap to escape from. The encirclement was shrinking smaller and smaller. He could see ropes readying to tie him up.
Once he was caught, he could only look forward to a painful death.
Did he really have to fight to the death here?
If he died, would he die in the real world, too?
Would Dad regret sending him?
Bai Yang’s mind flooded with thoughts.
Then, a black shadow descended from the skies like a sword in battle. Strong qi threw everyone back, and black demonic magic flew around the elders. Two ancestors coughed up blood and took a few steps back. A gap appeared in the formation.
Now!
“Go!” A familiar cold voice erupted beside his ear like thunder.
Bai Yang felt someone grab his waist and teleport away.
