After I ate the meat on the chicken leg clean, I wiped my mouth, rubbing the oil all over my face and creating a sticky mess.

Xie Lin called me disgusting and commanded a servant to get me cleaned up.

He was not the only one who showed disgust, even the servant girl disdained my filthy appearance, measuring me up and down once without moving a muscle.

"Alright alright, just go." Xie Lin waved his hand and signalled the servant girl to leave.

I realized that Xie Lin's temper was quite good, he didn't have an air of arrogance and got along well with the people of the demon world.

Xie Lin threw me to the hot pool and had followed in, leaning against the edge, shutting his eyes in recuperation.

My hands held onto the satiny jade railings, my eyes growing wide in surprise.

A series of winding mountains surrounded the pool, seemingly undulating like waves. White mist arose in the air, shrouding the mountain ranges, painting a hazy indigo picture.

Looking from within the pool, the color began to lighten until it dissipated in the air, becoming one with the white mist.

But this was just the background.

Against Xie Lin's figure, it instantly lost its splendor.

Xie Lin closed his eyes, not forgetting to mock me, "What's there to look at from a couple pieces of broken mountains?"

I immediately felt timid, submerging my body into the warm water, feigning that I hadn't heard anything while cleaning myself.

After I had washed up from head to toe, I secretly cast a glance at Xie Lin.

He hadn't budged for half an hour, as though his soul had departed. I was shocked by this thought before I recalled him mentioning that he had previously been injured by Lord Zezhou before I had crashed down on him.

I secretly approached Xie Lin, reaching out a finger to check whether he was still breathing.

And he actually wasn't!

Shocked, I hurriedly tore open his outer garment, wanting to take a look at his injuries.

"What do you think you're doing, taking my clothes off?" Xie Lin opened his eyes, "You're so perverted for someone so young."

I stammered in reply, "I'm not perverted, I just....I just wanted to take a look at your injuries."

"Don't look," Xie Lin let out a long exhale, "My injuries are quite serious, I might not be able to live until the next day."

He was lying. If he couldn't live until tomorrow, why was he playing pai gow with a crowd today?

The next day, he was still alive as expected, and he was even guzzling down strong alcohol, eating roast meat, acting vigorous and lively, not looking as though he was ever injured at all.

Xie Lin even evilly forced me to drink alcohol. Seeing my tears nearly flow out from the spiciness, he burst into a boisterous laugh.

The second prince told me Xie Lin wouldn't eat humans. He certainly didn't eat humans but loved to play them.

I was angry but I didn't dare get angry at him, only tearfully swallowing the bitter consequences.

After staying in the demon world for a few days, my heart began to grow anxious, and behind Xie Lin's back, I secretly went to ask the second prince a favor.
