The Demon King’s voice called him back from his stupor.

Bai Yang calmed his state of mind with effort, focusing his attention on the Demon King. “Your Highness?”

The Demon King looked around, and frowned. “I finally got a chance to go outside with you, but we ended up encountering something like this, how disappointing!”

Bai Yang didn’t want to stay in this mess of a place, forcing out a smile and saying, “Then let’s leave.”

“We haven’t seen the sea of flowers yet!” The Demon King was a bit discontented.

Bai Yang thought, we’re surrounded by corpses and you’re still in the mood to look at flowers?

“Your Highness….”

As he wanted to urge the Demon King to leave, the Demon King looked at the dead people on the ground, and suddenly said, “I got it!”

With his voice, the surrounding atmosphere changed, like a drop of water landing on the surface of a placid lake, creating waves of ripples.

The subtle magic power from the Demon King spread out in all directions.

The Demon King raised his hand as wisps of black smoke rose from the corpses lying on the dirt, soon after, those corpses began to shrivel up and turned into dried bones.

The Demon King absorbed the spirituality from the corpses, and as he opened his fisted hand, the boundless spirituality along with magic power violently surged up and scattered across the entire ravine.

The pure spirituality of the few cultivators nourished the earth, the originally budding flowers absorbed enough spirituality and blossomed continuously under the magic’s urge, flowers burst open at once, covering everything as far as the eye can see.

Everything turned into a blaze of color in that split second, an incomparable magnificence.

In the middle of it all, Bai Yang was stunned.

The plants continued to flourish, the green leaves and brightly colored flowers covered the few skeletal remains, burying them deep under. Those people disappeared without a trace like they never even appeared on this earth in the first place.

Both cruel and beautiful.

Both glamorous and bloodthirsty.

“What do you think, do you like it?” The Demon King was clothed in black, he smiled towards Bai Yang. He seemed a little embarrassed, and shyly said, “This is the most I could do.”

He stood in the splendid sea of flowers, handsome and graceful, his perfect smile pure.

Bai Yang was moved once again.

Each time he felt like he understood the Demon King, the Demon King would do something to shock him once more.

He murders in cold-blood, he will bring disaster upon the world.

He murdered people, then he’s able to turn those corpses into fertilizer and create a splendid sea of flowers, for the sole purpose of winning him over.

Being together with someone like that made Bai Yang feel both moved and scared, as well as a little excitement.

Bai Yang didn’t know how to describe him, but as he stood amongst the flowers and smiled at him, asking him whether he liked it or not, he knew that his heart had fallen into the enemy’s hands.

At this moment, he knew that he was deeply in love with this person, not just liking how he dotes on him, but also everything special about him.

No matter if it was good or bad.

Bai Yang thought: If he wanted to walk down the path to hell, I would be perfectly willing to go with him.

“I really like it.” Bai Yang walked up and took the initiative to hold the Demon King’s hand, and kissed his cheek.

The Demon King startled, his ears turning red immediately after. “Zetian….”

Bai Yang kissed his other cheek.

This was the first time Bai Yang took the initiative to kiss him, the Demon King returned the action soon after he realized what was happening. He held him and pushed him down in the midst of the flowers….

Another round of passionate love making had passed, and when they were done, it was already late.

Bai Yang felt worn out. The Demon King took him back to Anning Village to look for a top-notch inn to stay in.

The Demon King took care of him very well, he’d already learned how to control his own desire. Perhaps, from how long the two have been together, he no longer took advantage of the opportunity to go for a long time.

Bai Yang felt a lot more relaxed, and began to enjoy doing it with him a bit.

He bathed in the wonderful feeling of happiness for the whole day, even forgetting the fact that he killed Elder Qiu to save Zhou Ying earlier. Until a black-cloaked man arrived that night.

That man was sent by Lou Jianfeng. Lou Jianfeng was currently in Phoenix City, unable to come personally, so he sent the black-cloaked man to deliver his words.

The Demon King didn’t hide from Bai Yang when he took care of official matters, Bai Yang lay on the bed with the draperies down, as the Demon King talked outside the room.

“Your Highness.” The black-cloaked man got down on one knee, speaking with respect, “Master Lou sent this subordinate here to ask Your Highness about a matter.”

“What is it?” The Demon King calmly set down two tea cups on the table, pouring tea into them.

The black-cloaked man didn’t dare look at him, and spoke with his head down, “Master Lou saw Zhou Ying in Phoenix City, and had discovered that he had already cultivated to the Ascension Stage. Master Lou found this strange. He suspects that Zhou Ying is the Son of Destiny and specifically sent me here to report to Your Highness.”

“Zhou Ying has already cultivated to the Ascension Stage?” The Demon King paused, something flashed in his pitch-black eyes. “Why was it not reported earlier?”

“Reporting to Your Highness, Zhou Ying is hiding quite a few secrets. He is using a special method to suppress his cultivation level, nobody could tell.”

“Then how did you guys realize?”

The black-cloaked man lowered his head even more. “Master Lou sent an assassin to kill a Son of Destiny, Feng Xiang, the young master of Phoenix City. Zhou Ying saved him and our people suffered heavy injuries. The power Zhou Ying displayed should be of the Ascension Stage, many people bore witness.”

The Demon King swept out an arm, knocking the teacups full of water to the ground where they shattered.

“Useless!”

His gaze was as cold as it could get. “What are you guys doing? The real Son of Destiny was right under your noses and you never knew?!”

“Your Highness!” The black-cloaked man jumped in fright, rushing to kneel and press his forehead to the ground. “But we still cannot confirm that Zhou Ying is the real Son of Destiny.”

Hearing this, the Demon King’s face went dark, kicking him away. “You really are useless! It’s this obvious and you still can’t tell?”

Bai Yang was already awake as he heard the two’s conversation, quietly putting on his clothes and walking out of the room. “Your Highness need not be angry, there really is no way to confirm that Zhou Ying is the real Son of Destiny at the moment.”

Seeing him, the Demon King brightened up a bit. “Why did you come out?”

Bai Yang was nervous on the inside, but smiling on the outside. “Your Highness is rarely this angry, how could I not come out?”

The Demon King said, “Zhou Ying should be the Son of Destiny that we couldn’t find.”

Bai Yang’s heart clenched, but he still maintained the smile on his face. “How can Your Highness be so sure?”

“So many people died the day of the Hidden Flower Mirage, yet he was the only survivor. He should have been executed with the death of a thousand cuts, but he was mysteriously saved. He carries the Dragon Blade, rapidly progressing in his cultivation level…,” The Demon King said with a serious expression. “The previous Son of Destiny’s also had this kind of luck, like they had help from the Heavens.”

Bai Yang inwardly swallowed, the Demon King was indeed incredibly knowledgeable. There were no holes in his reasoning, it looks like there’s no way to try and dissuade him.

“Then what does Your Highness plan to do?” Bai Yang trembled on the inside.

The Demon King suddenly laughed, saying, “What else? Kill him of course!”

As he spoke, he turned to the black-cloaked man. “Tell Lou Jianfeng, kill Zhou Ying, no matter what it takes.”

“Yes!” The black-cloaked man affirmed loudly, his figure disappearing.

Bai Yang stared at the back of the Demon King’s neck, his emotions turbulent.

Xiao Ling yelled in his head, “Sir, the male lead can’t die! If he dies, there’s no way for you to keep living on!”

Bai Yang lowered his voice. “I understand.”

“You have to go save him. Sir, you’re a good person, I don’t want you to die,” Xiao Ling cried. “So what if he’s already at the Ascension Stage? If he faces the Demon King, Zhou Ying will be annihilated in an instant.”

Bai Yang was also aware of the seriousness of the situation. “I know……”

He has to find a way to leave the Demon King’s side, and go save the male lead at Phoenix City.

After the black-cloaked man left, the Demon King calmed down. Smiling again, he walked to Bai Yang’s side and said, “When you were asleep just now, I formulated a plan, tomorrow we just need to carry it out.”

Plan? What plan?

A plan to kill the male lead? Or a plan to invade the mortal world?

Bai Yang’s head was a mess.

The Demon King didn’t realize his abnormality, picking up a piece of paper from the desk and opening it beside him.

Bai Yang saw that the piece of paper was only a map.

The Demon King was in high spirits. He pointed at a mountain range and said, “Right now, we are here under the Soaring Cloud Sect in Anning Village, tomorrow we leave along this path.”

He traced a black line with his finger, past a series of mountains and lakes, arriving at a desert at the edge of the map.

This path had mountains and lakes, along with the beautiful scenery, it was a great travel route. To formulate a path like this, the Demon King should have carefully studied the many geographical locations and landscapes of the mortal world.

He sincerely wanted to take him sightseeing.

Seeing this map, Bai Yang felt more complicated.

What should he do?

Things have progressed to this stage, leaving him with many predicaments.

“Sir, stop dawdling, there’s no way Lou Jianfeng won’t take action, the male lead is in grave danger right now. We have to rush over to save him,” Xiao Ling said.

Bai Yang said in his mind, “I know, that’s what I’m thinking too.”

At the Phoenix City part of the story, the male lead’s Seven Body Star Constitution would be exposed. Although he’s defeated many strong opponents and was famous for a short time, the many people that lusted after the Dragon Blade began to stir, all of them very much wanting to kill him.

The male lead is in grave danger right now. Everyone, no matter if they were cultivators from the demon race or the mortal world, wanted him dead.

In the novel, the male lead escaped with heavy injuries under the protection of the Phoenix City’s Lord’s daughter, Feng Ming.

In actuality, there was also a logical error in the novel. With the situation as it was, surrounded by experts from both the demon race and mortal world, the probability of the male lead escaping was very low. The male lead burst out with the power of the cosmos, using brute force to make his way into the Mahayana Stage for a successful escape.

But this would be extremely hard to achieve in reality.

Right now Bai Yang had two choices, to obediently follow the Demon King on their scenic tour and bet on the male lead’s good luck to help him escape Phoenix City, or to go to Phoenix City on his own and save the male lead at the critical moment.

As for what he should do, the correct choice was actually very clear.
