“Good. Very good.” The Demon King seemed pleased. He turned and walked back to the throne.


Bai Yang paused, and couldn’t help but ask: “My Lord, Luo Jian Feng personally entered the mirage and killed more than two hundred people. Although we erased all our traces, the practitioners aren’t idiots. They will be able to find us out. Once they’re onto us, it’ll be extremely difficult to enter the Human Realm.”


Bai Yang spoke because he felt that Luo Jian Feng killing over two hundred people was too cruel, but he regretted it once the words were out of his mouth. This was completely just complaining about Luo Jian Feng. Yet, complaining about Luo Jian Feng was useless for Xie Ze Tian, since Luo Jian Feng wasn’t his enemy. Even if he killed everyone in the world, it would still have nothing to do with Xie Ze Tian.


His words were completely contradictory to Xie Ze Tian’s character, yet, weirdly, he wasn’t shocked for them.


“Xiao Ling, what’s going on? Why wasn’t I shocked?”


Xiao Ling said: “Sir, it’s because Xie Ze Tian gets jealous easily. He often complains about others, so talking smack about Luo Jian Feng behind his back doesn’t violate Xie Ze Tian’s character settings.”


Bai Yang: “…”


He didn’t know how to respond.


“There is no problem with Luo Jian Feng’s actions. My goal is to unify the Demon and Human Realms, and to invade the Human Realm we must weaken their strength. Killing off their hard-earned disciples is a good method of doing so.”


The Demon King of Eternal Night’s voice broke Bai Yang’s train of thought. Bai Yang was surprised that the Demon King of Eternal Night really was someone who could kill without even wincing. He was cold, brutal, and willing to do anything to achieve his goal.


Two hundred lives or so were nothing in his eyes.


Bai Yang’s heart started to pound in his chest and, for the first time, thought that the man in front of him was frightening.


When facing Luo Jian Feng and the Male Lead, Bai Yang’s heart didn’t pound so furiously, wasn’t as nervous, because he had watched the TV series and knew the general plot. He already knew what would happen to the Male Lead, and could be confident in his next few actions. When a person is calm, they’ll naturally be more confident in their work. However, when facing the Demon King of Eternal Night, he felt very wary with no sense of security at all. This was because, whether it be the novel or TV series, the story was told from the Main Character’s point of view. the Demon King of Eternal Night was a boss villain, so he would only appear when necessary. Then, when he wasn’t part of the plot, what did he do? What kind of person was he like? Bai Yang had no clue.


“Your subordinate knows.” The Demon King of Eternal Night had defended Luo Jian Feng’s actions. Bai Yang wasn’t stupid, so he responded at once, “Your subordinate has finished his report. Does My Lord have any other orders?”


If not, then please let me go.


As if reading Bai Yang’s mind, the Demon King of Eternal Night gave a wave of his hand. “You may leave.”


Pausing, the Demon King continued, “You have done well in completing your mission. I have already sent someone ahead to your mansion with a reward. Return, and rest well.”


Bai Yang pretended to be happy and grateful. “Thank you, My Lord.”


And then he left.


After turning down the hall, he collapsed into a squat. The Demon King of Eternal Night refused to talk about his next visit to the Human Realm, so when would he be able to go back?


Walking out of the main hall, he met very few people along the way.


Bai Yang didn’t want to return to his residence! Just thinking about that crowd of prostitutes gave him a headache.


Ever since crossing over, he hadn’t favored any of his concubines with attention. However, if he continued to refuse them, not only will the System punish him, but others would also start finding him suspicious.


Ah, what a headache!


Wandering through the vast Palace of Darkness, Bai Yang’s eyes lit up at the thought of his spare room in the palace.


Why did he need to go back? Staying in the Palace of Darkness would be perfectly fine!


As long as he didn’t go back, he wouldn’t have to interact with his harem. Besides, the Palace of Darkness is so big, the Demon King of Eternal Night probably wouldn’t spend the effort of chasing him out.


Before, if he stayed late, he could just stay there, so it shouldn’t be problematic for him to spend the night today.


Thus, Bai Yang happily made his decision.


He went to his spare room. Since the room was cleaned regularly, he flopped onto the bed when he arrived.


He remembered the words the Demon King of Eternal Night told him: “Rest well.”


When he remembered, he felt quite sleepy.


As he laid there, he drifted into his dreams.


He didn’t know how long he’d slept, but Bai Yang awoke to the faint murmuring of voices outside his room.


His five senses were extremely sensitive, so, once awake, he listened unintentionally.


“Big Sister, are we really going through? The Head Maid specifically told us not to go near the main hall at night. What will we do if we get caught?” A woman’s soft, nervous voice echoed in the corridor.


“What are you afraid of? We’ve been at the Palace of Darkness for more than a month, but we haven’t even seen a trace of His Majesty. Are you content with that? If we can get close to His Majesty and gain his favor, we’ll be set for life,” the other woman said.


“But, Big Sister…”


“No more ‘buts’! If you don’t want to go, then don’t go. I’ll go by myself! But when I get His Majesty’s favor, don’t blame me for not bringing you.”


Overhearing their conversation, Bai Yang understood that those two women must have been given to the Demon King of Eternal Night as a gift. Although there was talk of the Demon King being amazing and otherworldly, there didn’t seem to be any Demon Queen or Demon Bride in his life. There wasn’t much information about the Demon King in the TV series. The basics were that he wanted to take over the Human Realm, and no time was spent on his feelings, and even less so about his private life.


The two women wanted to approach the main hall in hopes of catching the Demon King’s eye.


It appeared that the Demon King gave the order that people weren’t allowed near the main hall at night.


But it wasn’t only the main hall. When he broke in last time, there weren’t any people in the Palace of Darkness at all. When Bai Yang left the main hall earlier in the day, there weren’t many people around then, either. It didn’t match with Xie Ze Tian’s memories. In Xie Ze Tian’s memories, while the Palace of Darkness didn’t have guards stationed at every corner, it still had people around to hold a strong defense. It was nothing like how empty it was.


Bai Yang recalled the scene from when he broke into the Palace of Darkness. The Demon King stood, hunched over, in the middle of several incense burners in the side room. When the Demon King found Bai Yang breaking in, his expression had been absolutely terrifying.


Bai Yang thought that what he saw must have been related to the lack of people in the palace.


Bai Yang was extremely curious, but he was timid. Even if one is curious, they still wouldn’t dare to probe around. After all, it is the Demon King. The cold, ruthless, able to kill people without flinching Demon King. Besides, after finding out the truth to the secret, what use would it be? It’s not like you could eat it to survive.


The two women’s conversation was over and Bai Yang acted like he didn’t hear anything. He continued to lay on the bed to sleep.


Just as he was about to drift off again, he heard a scream. It was a blood-curdling scream filled to the brim with fear.


Bai Yang’s ears were sensitive, so he woke up at once.


“Help! Help! Someone, please save us!” Female screams of horror traveled from a distance away, and wailed continuously for help. It was like they’d met with something terribly frightening.


It sounded like they were screaming and running away at the same time.


Bai Yang recognized the voices as the same two women from before.


He was slightly dazed from waking, so when he heard the cries for help, Bai Yang teleported towards the noise without even thinking. As an educated modern man, as a man with a conscience, when he heard the desperate cries of a woman, his first instinct was to help. Thus, Bai Yang urgently rushed over.


Teleportation was extremely quick, so he arrived at the source of the cry almost instantly.


It was in front of the main hall. A woman was desperately trying to run away, but, as if she was stuck, she wasn’t moving forward at all.


And behind him, a black-clad figure held down the other woman.


In the pitch-black darkness of the night, it was hard to see the situation. In addition, he could see that the black figure had powerful and violent magic spirits that flickered about them like black fire. It enveloped the woman and the man in black, making it appear as though they were one, and impossible to differentiate.


After a moment, the two people in the fire merged together— not metaphorically, but literally!


Seeing this situation, a word naturally emerged from his mind— swallowed.


That’s right, the dark figure had swallowed that woman!


After the dark figure swallowed her, the black flame swept over toward the other woman.


That woman’s face was drowned in tears as she continued to cry desperately for help.


However, despite screaming so loudly, no one appeared. In fact, no one even came to check the commotion at all.
