From afar, the white pagoda seemed tall and slender, but as one approached, one would see a large palace at its base. They'd been too far away to see it before. FireThorn City really was a peculiar place.

When they arrived, they saw the Demon King and the Lord of FireThorn City coming out. They were talking and laughing. It all seemed very intimate.

The Demon King turned his head to see Bai Yang and Long Hai approaching. When his gaze landed on their entwined hands, a shadow fell over his smiling face.

"Where did you go?" the Demon King asked in an unhappy tone.

Why on earth are you angry? Bai Yang thought. You abandoned me to run off with the City Lord and now you're interrogating me?!

"I was just taking Lord Xie for a walk around FireThorn City to familiarize him with the surroundings," Long Hai said softly.

The Demon King looked at him, his expression unhappy, but didn't say anything. Instead, he turned to Bai Yang and waved him over. "Come here." Bai Yang thought about it and chose to walk over.

The Almighty Demon King felt somewhat satisfied, and the dark look on his face faded a bit. "You shouldn't wander around in a place like this. Nor should you be with strangers."

The City Lord and Long Hai : "..."

The Demon King seemed to realize his attitude was too aggressive and restrained himself a bit. He turned to the young black-haired City Lord and said, "I brought this man here. Examine him for me."

Bai Yang was baffled. What examination?

The Demon King lowered his voice so only Bai Yang could hear him. "In a moment, when you follow the City Lord inside, do whatever he tells you to do. Don't irritate him. We are in FireThorn City. Without his permission, not even l can leave."

"What will he ask me to do?" Bai Yang asked, and then, "Are you guys keeping something from me?"

The Demon King patted him on the head, a soft smile exposed on the corners of his mouth. "Don't worry. He will help cure you."

Cure me?

Was it really that simple?

Bai Yang was doubtful. "Did you make some kind of private deal?"

There's no such thing as a free lunch. FireThorn City is also not a benevolent place. Could it be that....

Bai Yang lowered his voice and said, "I see that the City Lord seems to be interested in you, always saying "big brother' this and 'big brother' that. Did you use your body as a bargaining chip?"

The Demon King: "..."

The Demon King smacked the top of his head. "What kind of nonsense are you thinking of everyday!?"

Bai Yang covered his head. "You're so close, he even calls you big brother!"

As he spoke, his mood started to sour.

"He just likes to tease people," the Demon King said helplessly, "and anyone who doesn't go along with his whims will suffer. Besides, how could a demon like him, who has lived for who knows how many years, possibly like someone as young as us? At most, he enjoys acting childish."

"Do you like him?"

The Demon King slapped his head again.

"Are you crazy?" Bai Yang suddenly felt better. "Then what deal did you make?"

If the price was too high, he'd rather not be cured.

As if reading Bai Yang's mind, the Demon King said, "Calm down. I only gave him what he needed and that I could provide."
