The Demon King Always Think I'm Secretly In Love With Him | 魔君总以为我暗恋他 [BL]

Chapter 29

"The boy who got the Dragon Blade was, apparently, called Zhou Ying. He was once a low ranking disciple, but then he found the Dragon Blade. His luck was way too good. General Luo suspected that he is the prophesized Son of the Seven Stars."

As he finished speaking, Xiao Ling asked Bai Yang in a panic, "Sir, how can you say this? The Demon King wants to kill the Son of the Seven Stars! What if he listens to you and kills Zhou Ying?"

"Are you stupid? Didn't you just hear the Demon King say that Luo Jian Feng already informed him of the situation? He might've already known about Zhou Ying's existence. I failed to kill Zhou Ying twice, so how could he not be suspicious? The best way to deal with this is to confess it myself."

"But..."

"Don't worry, I have a plan." Bai Yang continued.

The Demon King of Eternal Night, as expected, became interested. "So you're saying that boy who owns the Dragon Blade could be the Son of the Seven Stars?"

"Yes, my Lord." Bai Yang said, "but do you know why I didn't kill him after I kidnapped him from the Heavenly Execution Stage?"

The Demon King's voice was steady, "Oh, why?"

Bai Yang said, "At the time, I had only wanted to just steal the Jade Cloud Pearl, but I heard about the Dragon Blade at the base of the mountain. Thus, I wanted to swiftly steal the Dragon Blade as well. When I kidnapped that boy, I wanted to kill him to steal the Dragon Blade, but later, I realized that the sword had already established a close connection with the boy. If I killed the teen, the Dragon Blade would also self-destruct. This is why I, your subordinate did nothing."

Bai Yang continued, "Later, people from the Soaring Clouds Sect caught up with me. That brat and the daughter of the Sect Head were cunning, and grabbed an opportunity to escape. Your subordinate didn't have energy to spare then, which is why they aren't dead now. This subordinate failed to report this matter to you promptly, your Highness, nor did I realize that the teen could have been the Son of the Seven Stars. This subordinate has neglected his duties. Your Highness, please punish me."

After he finished, Bai Yang kneeled on the ground, his expression sincere.

What he said seemed logical. Aside from leaving out that he already knew the Male Lead, and was wholeheartedly protecting him, everything he said was true.

The reason Bai Yang revealed so much because he feared that Luo Jian Feng already told his suspicions and guesses to the Demon King. If the Demon King began to doubt him, it would be inconvenient to act on his future plans. Furthermore, if the Demon King turned his attention to the Male Lead, even if the Male Lead doesn't die, he'd still lose a layer of skin. Thus, it was safer for him to confess and then think of a plan to protect the Male Lead.

The Demon King was silent for a moment. "You hurried here so anxiously just to tell me this?"

Bai Yang paused. He thought the Demon King would follow up by asking about the Son of the Seven Star matter, but he didn't.

"Yes." Bai Yang said.

"Such a small matter makes you come back in such a hurry?" the Demon King of Eternal Night asked.

Bai Yang paused and thought about it further. He broke into a cold sweat.

In accordance with Xie Ze Tian's character, he wouldn't bother returning to the Demon King of Eternal Night unless it was a big matter. Breaking the boundary pillar in the Black Cloud Gate Sect was a task already set in place from the beginning. Luo Jian Feng had a way of contacting the Demon King in order to report everything to him. Zhou Ying being the Son of the Seven Stars was only Luo Jian Feng's unconfirmed theory. Therefore, according to Xie Ze Tian's personality, he wouldn't have come back just for that.
