The Great Demon King

Chapter 19: I like you

Lisa wildly reached out in her panic, and by sheer coincidence, grabbed Han Shuo’s pant leg, while falling through the air. She immediately gave a strong tug, violently swinging Han Shuo’s body, causing him to fall down into the depths of the trap with her.

Han Shuo had already quickly checked out the bottom of the trap earlier. Thanks to the moonlight, he could see that there weren’t any sharp knives planted at the bottom of the trap, just a few protruding rocks, but those protruding rocks would still cause great discomfort if one fell onto them.

Han Shuo’s heart was curiously calm with the sounds of Lisa’s screams filling his ears. He didn’t know if it was because he’d been training his magical yuan, but recently whenever he’d faced danger, Han Shuo’s first reaction was not to panic. Rather, he swiftly thought about how to resolve the crisis he was in, and this time was no exception.

The trap had been hastily laid, and thus was only three meters deep, but during the split seconds of the fall, Han Shuo surprisingly still had the mental capacity to think of other things. While listening to Lisa’s screams, Han Shuo circulated the magical yuan that had just digested the fighting aura at a speed many times faster than normal.

Han Shuo made his move just as the two were about to violently crash into the protruding rocks. He snatched Lisa out of thin air, catching the girl who had completely lost her head and was screaming every which way, around the waist. He whirled himself around and sacrificed his butt and back, smashing right onto the protruding rocks at the bottom of the pit.

“Aiyo….” Han Shuo grimaced in pain as the wound, that had been dressed not too long ago, split open again. Fresh blood oozed out instantaneously. As the primary point of contact, his buttocks also hurt tremendously.

Lisa hadn’t suffered too much damage while being cradled in Han Shuo’s arms. Seeing that she was unharmed and listening to Han Shuo’s distressed moans, she started raking a suspicious glance over Han Shuo’s body, asking in extreme surprise, “Why did you save me?”

Han Shuo’s anguished cries were silenced by Lisa’s question. His face wore a sudden expression of dejection as he shook his head with a low sigh, “Because I like you!”

It was as if lightning had struck Lisa as soon as she heard those words. She stared at Han Shuo dumbly, completed shellshocked. It took her a long while to react as she pointed at Han Shuo and stammered, “You… you… I… I… what did you say?”

“I said I like you Lisa!” Han Shuo gazed upon Lisa with a face full of sincerity, speaking wholeheartedly, “I’ve actually liked you all these years, and so have never begrudged you for experimenting on me. Even when you almost tormented me to death with the Agony of the Soul, I still never hated you.

Except, I understand that I’m just an errand slave. There’s too much of a gap between my status and yours, so I just bury these thoughts deep in my heart and never dare to express them. I could only act crazy in hopes of soliciting more attention from you. Lisa, was I a fool to do so?”

I am so mean, such an asshole. Han Shuo sprouted off lies with an earnest face on one hand, and with the other inwardly marveled that he could use such low methods after arriving in a strange world. He didn’t know whether it was due to training his magical yuan, or the fact that he had been evil to begin with and it had only begun to show itself after shrugging off all constraints in this strange world.

Lisa was completely dumbfounded by Han Shuo, staring at him dumbly and forgetting to speak. She only shook off her stupor and hurriedly stood up when her agitated hands randomly roamed over a strip of naked thigh. When she looked at Han Shuo, an astounding blush actually stole across her face for the first time. She seemed to be a bit embarrassed.
