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

Chapter 50

Huh? He's not actually angry?

"Since you aren't doing anything else, come help me pour tea and grind ink."

What?

Bai Yang was dumbfounded. Pour tea and grind ink?

The Demon King raised his eyelids and gave him a light glance. "Li Yu is gone and there are no other servants around. You can serve as his replacement."

What kind of joke is this? He wants me to stand here every day and face such a devil? Wouldn't I be trembling in fear all day? I'll lose all my hair to stress!

"Your Highness, this subordinate is too dumb to do it well."

"If you can't do it well, you can learn. Or are you unwilling to serve me?" The Demon King raised an eyebrow.

Could Bai Yang dare say he wasn't willing?

Of course he couldn't! All he could do was hold back his grief and accept. Thus, he was forced to give up his leisurely lifestyle in order to act as an assistant to the Demon King in the palace's main hall.

If he knew this was going to happen, he would have been more diligent from the start. Compared to facing the Demon King of Eternal Darkness every day, the Guard Commander position wasn't that bad.

Although he didn't want it, Bai Yang couldn't think of an excuse, either, so he could only take office filled with dread.

He'd been a rich kid since birth, so he'd never waited on someone else before. What if he didn't do well and the Demon King decided to kill him?

With his heart steeped with deep worry, Bai Yang began his career in the palace of serving tea and pouring water in the main hall. It was only after a while that he noticed that the Demon King was very easy to wait on. He didn't have any special requests. The Demon King only reviewed official documents every day and talked to his courtiers about business. He was too busy to die or live.

Bai Yang stood beside him, his only responsibility being to pour tea. Most of the time, he just dozed off. At first, he was quite diligent, but he couldn't copy ancient people who always maintained a careful attitude. After a while, he relaxed and just napped peacefully off to the side.

The Demon King only had others in to discuss business. Regardless of how confidential it was, he let Bai Yang listen in. At first, those who came to talk were shocked that Bai Yang was there as the Demon King's tea servant. Bai Yang was one of the Four Demon Generals after all, and he was also the Guard Commander. Making him serve tea was overkill, even insulting. Yet, after a while, they came to realize that Bai Yang didn't come to serve the Demon King, but the Demon King was serving him. How doesn't he even know how to grind ink?

The Demon King would impatiently wave him off and do it himself.

A bowl of mediocre tea, one that could almost be called disgusting, would be served, but the Demon King would steel his nerves and drink it.

Sometimes Bai Yang would fall asleep, so the Demon King and those he was talking to would have to lower their voices, or move to another room in fear of waking him up.

The Demon King would even consult Bai Yang on things he was unsure of. What did Bai Yang know about government affairs? He'd often just say some nonsense, yet the Demon King had never gotten angry, not once.

Most importantly, when the Demon King was discussing confidential matters, he would never tell Bai Yang to leave.

And thus, everyone came to know that Xie Ze Tian was the Demon King's dearest confidant, the most favored courtier in the Demon Realm.
