Gu Bailu thought for a moment. It seemed that Feng Qingtian had said back then that she had misunderstood him because of the Demon King’s provocation.
Gu Bailu felt that she had been too stupid, but at the same time, it showed that the Demon King had a glib tongue.
“Your Highness…”
While Gu Bailu was lost in thought, everybody in the hall gave their respectful greetings to a tall, thin man in a silver robe who came in.
He was handsome and very easy on the eye, but Gu Bailu found him displeasing at first glance.
This feeling probably had to do with their old grudge.
“Hey, who’s this? It seems to be an old friend of mine.” The Demon King waved his hand, paying no attention to the salutations of the demons around him, and approached Gu Bailu with a fake smile.
Gu Bailu sat on the bed and her gaze swept over him. “You’re the Demon King?”
“You don’t remember me after more than a hundred years. I’m really sad.” The Demon King stood outside the barrier unhappily. “Why did you set this up?”
“An old friend or an enemy?” Gu Bailu held a rune in her hand.
She didn’t know how strong the Demon King was, and her Heavenly Eye couldn’t see his thoughts, so he was probably stronger than Qin Shou.
Besides, a Demon King who was ten thousand years old couldn’t be underestimated.
“What enemy? I’ve been waiting for you to be reincarnated. And it looks like you’re pregnant again.” The Demon King glanced at her belly and frowned.
What the hell, why was he looking at her like she was a failure of a daughter?
It gave Gu Bailu the inexplicable illusion of a father finding out that his daughter had gotten pregnant before marriage.
The Demon King was poisonous.
“None of your business,” Gu Bailu replied.
“Of course it’s my business. I warned you that he couldn’t be trusted. Why didn’t you learn your lesson?”
Gu Bailu looked at him calmly. “I was willing; why do you care? Who are you to me?”
“I’m your father.”
Gu Bailu was lost for words.
She almost pissed her pants.
What kind of joke was this?
“Father, let my friend go.” Gu Bailu thought for a moment, then decided to play along with him to stall for time.
“Your friend? Gu Yunjing?”
“That’s right. I’ll be angry if you let another woman defile him,” said Gu Bailu solemnly.
The Demon King smiled. “Look at you. You care about Gu Yunjing as much as you did back then. If I didn’t do this to him, would you have risked everything to save him?”
Gu Bailu was lost for words.
You’re wrong. I was only divining his location. I don’t know how I got caught up in it.
I didn’t risk anything, alright?!
“So, Father Demon King, will you let him go?” Gu Bailu couldn’t be bothered to argue with him.
The Demon King shook his head. “Let’s wait until Feng Qingtian arrives. He escaped last time. We have to capture him this time.”
Gu Bailu frowned. “What do you want?”
Could it be that she was just a cover, and Feng Qingtian was the person they wanted to deal with all along?
“Haven’t you always wanted to destroy him? This is a good opportunity. It seems that he still has feelings for you. As long as you make good use of him, he won’t be able to take back what he lost this time.”
The Demon King spoke excitedly, as if he was discussing some great plan with her.
