Although the Demon King of Eternal Night scolded him, Bai Yang could tell he wasn't particularly angry.

Great! As long as he wasn't killed on the spot, he could still turn the situation around!

Bai Yang looked ashamed. "My Lord, it's my fault. didn't have enough foresight."

"I'm not angry because you didn't get the Jade Cloud Pearl, I'm angry because you didn't approach the problem better," The Demon King said.

Bai Yang bowed his head to acknowledge his mistake with a good attitude. "My Lord is right. I acted without thinking. This won't happen next time."

"Next time?"

"Promises to the Demon King must be fulfilled. I will bring you the Jade Cloud Pearl." Determination appeared in Bai Yang's eyes as he stared at the Demon King of Eternal Night.

There was stubbornness in those eyes.

The Demon King of Eternal Night paused.

"You..."

He then furrowed his brows. "There's no need. My problem is complicated and the Jade Cloud Pearl won't just fix it."

"What? The Jade Cloud Pearl isn't enough to solve My Lord's problem? Tell me, My Lord, what I need to do to heal you. Whatever you say, I'll do it."

Bai Yang's eyes were filled with nervous anticipation.

Of course he'd be anxious; if the Demon King Yong Ye wasn't searching for the Jade Cloud Pearl, how could he get back to the Human Realm?

"I heard that in the Human Realm, there is a sacred dragon called the Jiao Long. If you kill it and take its heart, it could be a panacea to hundreds of illnesses. My Lord, since the Jade Cloud Pearl couldn't be acquired, I can go back to the Human Realm to get the heart of the Jiao Long."

The Demon King of Eternal Night stared at Bai Yang, an indescribable look in his eyes. "You're really this concerned about my health?"

"Of course!" Bai Yang said immediately, neither his expression or tone showing any signs of insincerity, "My Lord's body is important to all Demonkind, so of course your Subordinate is worried."

His words seemed to please the Almighty Demon King, as the corners of his mouth raised slightly. Although the change was minuscule, Bai Yang noticed.

It seemed that the Demon King wasn't that hard to please.

"My Lord, rest assured. I will definitely get the Jade Cloud Pearl and the Jiao Long's heart..." Bai Yang said sincerely.

The Demon King once again stared at Bai Yang, as though he was considering the sincerity of his words. However, since Bai Yang genuinely wanted to find those items for him, his attitude was very sincere. Finally, the Demon King's eyes drifted, but his gaze went softer. "No need. The Jade Cloud Pearl is only able to solve the issue with my inner demons, but can't fix the root problem. As for the Jiao Long's Heart, it would have no effect at all."

Bai Yang became anxious. If the Demon King didn't want those two items, then how would he get back to the Human Realm?

"My Lord?"

The Demon King saw Bai Yang's fear and sighed. He raised his hand to quiet him. "I understand, but you've been seriously injured. Go, and heal properly. We can talk about it later."

What?

The Demon King was letting him off so easily?

It seemed like his sincerity touched the Demon King. Bai Yang persisted in showing his loyalty. "My Lord, rest assured. My injuries are nothing. Just wait a little longer, and I promise I'll bring you the Jade Cloud Pearl."
