Chapter 46
The fifth night.
The Demon Emperor pushed open the door, and the young girl threw herself into his arms.
“Big Demon King, Big Demon King!”
Ye Piaoling called out his name, trembling with excitement. “I missed you. Did you miss me?”
With that, she stood on her tiptoes and kissed the man’s chin.
The Demon Emperor looked down. The girl was dressed in a white gauze dress, wearing a Mandala wreath on her head.
It was the bouquet of Mandala Flowers he had given her, woven into a crown for her head.
The black petals almost blended into the girl’s raven hair, exuding a certain decadent temptation.
“Does it look good?” Ye Piaoling asked.
“Mhm,” the Big Demon King responded in a low voice.
Ye Piaoling smiled and spun around, her white gauze dress fluttering. Combined with the black wreath on her head, she looked like a fusion of a celestial fairy and a seductive demoness.
One look at her made one want to commit a sin.
The Demon Emperor stared at her, his eyes deepening.
Ye Piaoling said, “Look, the dress you gave me fits perfectly! The length and size are like they were tailor-made for me. How are you so good at picking clothes?”
The Demon Emperor said hoarsely, “Because this seat knows your body like the back of my hand.”
Ye Piaoling: “…”
Ye Piaoling: “Thanks for that. I’m truly ‘grateful.'”
The man’s gaze shifted downward.
She was barefoot on the cold, hard jade floor. Her feet peeking out from under the hem were as white as jade, her pale pink toenails lustrous and cute.
Without a word, the Demon Emperor stepped forward and swept the girl up into a horizontal carry.
Feeling her feet leave the cold floor, Ye Piaoling was slightly stunned.
Then she giggled. “Big Demon King, admit it, you’re treating me better and better.”
The Demon Emperor sneered. “Even so, this seat will not let you go.”
Ye Piaoling: “I know, you have to complete your Evil Cultivation… It’s okay, I’m willing to sacrifice myself for you.”
The Demon Emperor carried her to the bedside and gently placed her on the bed. He raised an eyebrow and commented, “Lies.”
“It’s true!” Ye Piaoling stated solemnly. “My love for you has already transcended life and death. If there is a single false word, may heaven strike me with lightning!”
BOOM!!!
Just as she finished speaking, a clap of thunder echoed from the sky outside.
Ye Piaoling: “…”
Wasn’t that just a bit too coincidental?
Ye Piaoling’s lip twitched, then she pointed at the roof with righteous indignation. “Did you hear that? The lightning I was talking about is exactly that kind-the kind that can strike down with a massive crack!”
Refusing to believe in such bad luck, she declared, “If what I just said was a lie, let that lightning strike right into this room, right onto my bed!”
The moment the word “bed” left her mouth-
BOOM!!!
With a deafening roar, a blinding white light split the roof and slashed downward!
Under the intense glare, Ye Piaoling instinctively closed her eyes, her ears ringing to the point of near-deafness.
Before she could react, her body was snatched up by the Demon Emperor, who retreated several yards away like a bolt of lightning.
Ye Piaoling opened her eyes, still shaken.
Not far away, the bed had been scorched black by the lightning.
It was pathetically emitting wisps of blue smoke…
Ye Piaoling marveled blankly:
“That lightning strike was… a billion percent accurate.”
The Big Demon King’s expression was dark as he looked down at her.
“Your lies summoned heavenly lightning and destroyed the bed, hmm?”
Ye Piaoling immediately said wittily, “It’s okay! My bed is broken, so we can go play on your bed!”
The Demon Emperor thought about it and seemed to find her logic sound.
Holding her, he turned and walked out.
Ye Piaoling lowered her eyes, secretly rejoicing.
A blessing in disguise-she could finally leave this room of confinement!
Outside, a night rain was imminent, and the sky was heavy with dark clouds.
The Big Demon King carried her back to his own Bedchamber.
Stepping into the room, Ye Piaoling’s eyes widened in surprise.
The same candlelight, the same red curtains, the same bed!
It felt like she had returned to the room she was just in.
Ye Piaoling almost thought she had fallen into an infinite loop…
But she soon noticed the difference. The difference was a large window on the wall, though it was closed, so at first glance, it didn’t look much different from having no window at all.
Ye Piaoling: “The interior design style in your Demon Realm is quite consistent… That’s fine, standardization is good.”
“…”
Ye Piaoling’s eyes flickered as she added, “But I saw just now that there seems to be a garden behind this room. Can I go play there tomorrow?”
The Demon Emperor said, “You may. But if you attempt to escape, this seat will lock you back in a cage.”
“Escape? What a joke!” Ye Piaoling acted as if she had heard the funniest thing in the world. “I must be with you. Even if you told me to leave, I wouldn’t!”
The Demon Emperor was the master of the Soul-Departing Dream; she definitely needed him to break the dream curse!
Looking into the man’s deep, profound eyes, Ye Piaoling realized that from his perspective, she knew staying here meant certain death, so she would definitely try to run…
She gave a cheeky smile and switched to an affectionate tone. “Don’t worry, Big Demon King, I will never leave you.”
The Demon Emperor remained silent for a moment.
After a while, he said indifferently, “You couldn’t leave even if you wanted to.”
