I Fell In Love With My White Moonlight's Arch-Enemy | 我爱上了白月光的死对头 [BL]

Chapter 3

I originally thought that the demon realm was a sinister and terrifying evil cave, hidden in a damp corner no human ever stepped foot in, so dark it never saw daylight.

But the sight before me was nothing like this at all.

***

Atop a big lake, dense fog swirled around. One could barely see the edge of the lake and glass-like water lilies grew, their appearance crystal clear and extremely dazzling.

An imposing and broad palace stood by the lake side, the two sides of it brightly decorated, appearing like a fairy land at first glance.

I marvelled secretly on the inside. This was much more beautiful than Cui Wei Peak.

Qiong Qi held my neck and flew across the lake, landing before the palace.

I pinched myself, wanting to step on the floor but a sneeze from Qiong Qi threw me to the shrub at the side.

I tumbled in the shrub, my body covered in colorful petals. When I raised my eyes, I saw Xie Lin with an expression of disdain and I quickly got back to my feet.

Xie Lin led Qiong Qi to the doors of the palace while I followed behind. The more I walked in, the slower got, silently staring everywhere, looking for an opportunity to escape.

As if he had grown an extra pair of eyes, Xie Lin said, "Don't even think about it. Once you enter my domain, there's no escape."

I was scared by his sudden voice and quickly retracted my wandering eyes.

The gatekeeper knelt down, cupping towards Xie Lin in respect.

I hid behind Xie Lin and secretly glanced at him, realizing that the people of the demon realm looked the same as ordinary humans. They didn't have ox heads or horse-face, so they weren't ugly at all.

As we walked all the way to Xie Lin's quarters, we passed by many people along the way and there would always be someone who would ask about my origins.

Xie Lin would patiently answer them, "He's a new treasure I picked up today."

I would've brushed it off if he merely smiled but he had to pinch my cheeks and made me smile at them.

I was extremely afraid. Pulling the corner of my lips, I stiffly maintained that arc..

Some people didn't make salutations upon seeing Xie Lin, instead, they familiarly struck a conversation with him. Xie Lin didn't seem to mind and languidly responded with a few words.

Looks like in this pit of snakes and mice, there was no division of superior and subordinate.

I was on tenterhooks and all the way until we reached the inner hall, I did not calm down.

The inner hall was decorated extremely sumptuously. Several big night pearls were embedded on top, emitting soft rays of light. The spacious seat was lined with a furry blanket and the bed frame made of simple dead wood from the sea, appeared very sturdy.

The dark red silk fluttered without a breeze, revealing the shelf behind. On top lay all kinds of rare treasures. I recognized a few: dragon bones, night pearls, thousand-year flowers... the rest were objects I've never seen, let alone recognize.

Xie Lin flicked my forehead and laughed at me for not having seen the wider world.

I wanted to retort. I've seen many treasures in the sea but none above the shore, but after mulling this over, I swallowed the words down.
