Because of his sudden anger, the palace maid lowered her head and answered. Behind her stood two women who seemed frightened; their faces, which had just been full of affection, had turned pale.
I've always heard that the current Demon Lord is easygoing and gentle, so why is he so stern and harsh?
The snake-woman was alluring, and at this moment she still looked up unwillingly, wanting to truly see the Demon Lord's face. With a hint of resentment, her charming gaze had not yet met the Demon Lord's eyes when a strong wind from the palace door blew her hair into disarray. When she opened her eyes again, there was a tangible barrier in front of her.
The person who had just walked in through the palace gate hadn't even seen the figure outside clearly when a door blocked their view. They couldn't help but raise an eyebrow, looking at the person who was "trying to cover up" with a complicated expression.
Geng Qi immediately retorted, "I am innocent!"
Rong Yu chuckled softly.
"..."
Seeing that he hadn't misunderstood anything, Geng Qi relaxed and coughed lightly, saying, "Sister Mei never used to let them in, I don't know what's wrong with her today?"
He let two women in, and even had a maid escort them to the outside of his bedchamber!
Rong Yu said calmly, "I am no different from them."
“What do you mean, ‘same as…’” Geng Qi was taken aback, then instantly understood Leng Ningshuang’s purpose. He glared at her and said, “That’s not what she meant!”
Actually, she is!
Knowing full well that Master Lingyuan was in his palace, he deliberately sent two women over to make him misunderstand, to tell him that the most respected young sect master of the Tianzhi Sect in the righteous path was no different from the beauties sent by his clan in the Demon Realm—just a plaything of the Demon Lord!
This is both a warning and an insult!
"I'm going to talk to her and explain!"
Geng Qi frowned and was about to turn around, but his wrist was grabbed and he was turned back. Just as his back touched the palace door, the person in front of him pressed down and covered him with warm lips.
A tender and lingering kiss, devoid of any suggestive sensuality, yet more tantalizing than a passionate, deep kiss. Geng Qi, unsatisfied, extended his tongue to explore, only to be gently drawn in and savored with gusto.
They were slightly out of breath when they parted.
Rong Yu said, "I'm not angry."
Geng Qi was still savoring the kiss when he heard this and looked up blankly, saying, "Don't blame her, she just... because you're from the Tianzhi Sect. I've never told her about us. I thought if I didn't come back, she would ask Mu Shan herself. I thought she understood. Sister Mei was just testing you..."
Just as when he appeared in the Tianzhi Sect as the Demon Lord, every disciple of the sect had to be wary of him, it was impossible for anyone to truly feel at ease if someone with great influence in the righteous sects appeared in the Demon Palace and easily entered the Demon Lord's palace... except for the blind and the brainless.
Rong Yu lowered his head and nuzzled his nose: "How will you make it up to me?"
Geng Qi raised his eyes, not missing the fleeting mischievousness in them. Their hot breaths mingled as he murmured, "Didn't we just make amends?"
Rong Yu: "Not enough..."
After saying that, she kissed him again.
Geng Qi blinked, vaguely feeling that something was wrong, but couldn't figure out why. He gradually became dizzy and disoriented, and then just went with the flow.
"Oh, right, I'll take you somewhere."
After the "compensation," Geng Qi left without saying goodbye, pulling him out of the bedchamber.
The hundred-mile-long wasteland surrounding the Demon Palace was only visible to those outside the barrier. Inside the barrier, it was like a celestial sect, with pavilions, towers, and buildings. Geng Qi led Rong Yu through the green forest paths without any attempt to conceal their presence. They encountered many servants along the way, but they all bowed their heads, greeted him, and hurried past, none daring to look up.
“I remember there was a grove of green vines here, with nets woven from the vines hanging from the trees. It was so comfortable to lie on. Sure enough, it’s here!” He led Rong Yu into a grove of trees, and at the end of the grove was the net woven from green vines that he had mentioned. The two of them leaped up and stepped onto the edge of the net.
This type of vine is called Shuntian vine. It stops growing once it reaches a certain size, and it will never wither unless there is a natural disaster.
He used to come here every day and indulged in this bed for a whole month.
"That's the scorpion's 'medicine' field, where he grows all sorts of strange things. You know, he's blind, isn't he afraid of being swallowed by the things he grows one day?"
"..."
He dragged Rong Yu around the Demon Palace, saying he was going to a certain place. In the short time it takes for an incense stick to burn, they had already gone to countless places, but every place he went to was a place he had slept in.
Rong Yu vaguely guessed his purpose, and indulged him even more, jumping around with him.
Geng Qi pulled him to the front of a cave. "And here, this is a forbidden area of the Demon Realm. Once, when I was bored, I took Qing Han into the forbidden area and accidentally awakened an ancient beast. He woke up, but I was asleep. Qing Han couldn't beat him and was jumping up and down in the forbidden area. In the end, Scorpion and Sister Mei came in and took us out. Sister Mei was very angry that day and locked me in the Underworld Chamber for a few days. Actually, how could her barrier contain me? I just didn't want to go out those days, so I behaved myself."
As he spoke, he seemed to recall something amusing, and turned around to say, "You know what? That ancient sub-beast was actually really useless. After I beat it up, it didn't dare to make a sound when I climbed on it to sleep. It was such a coward."
"..."
Geng Qi was still smiling, but the smile didn't reach his eyes.
Rong Yu suddenly said, "She treats you very well."
“Yes,” Geng Qi murmured, “For most of the past hundred years, I have been asleep, and when I wake up, I am always in a daze. If it weren’t for her always watching over me, I probably would have died long ago.”
