“What did I do?” Ling Chuxi was totally confused. She did not seem to have done any kind of heaven-hurting-humanity-depraving matters, right? Why was he so aggrieved to such an extent, as if he had been truly assaulted by someone? How baffling.
Ling Chuxi’s guess was indeed not wrong. This future monster beast emperor had truly been assaulted by someone, which is why he was angry to such an extent, and the culprit was indeed precisely her, the Great Miss Ling. It has been said that an old tiger’s butt is not meant to be touched, and a demon emperor’s butt was even more so not to be touched.
“You, what did you say you did?” Seeing Ling Chuxi’s innocent look, the young man with fiery hair was so angry that he was on the verge of vomiting blood.
“You must have Snake Spirit Sickness!” (1) burst out Ling Chuxi, finally unable to restrain herself. ‘If I knew what I had done, why would I talk cr*p with you here for half a day for?’
“Young master, she is even scolding me!” Xiao Rou said pitifully. He was also aggrieved as he thought to himself, ‘Obviously, this is a matter between the people doing all the talking, what are you scolding me for? I had just accepted that you beat me up for nothing. What rights do you have to even say I have Snake Spirit Sickness? I am not sick. I am really not sick!’
“She isn’t scolding you, but me.” The young man with fiery hair was able to differentiate clearly that the object of Ling Chuxi’s scorn was not Xiao Rou, but he who had made such allegations against her.
“Young Master, what exactly did she do to you? Tell us. Even if I have to fight to death, I will help avenge you,” declared Xiao Rou angrily.
“She… she…” The young man with fiery hair pointed at Ling Chuxi, repeating a single word for half a day as he was still too embarrassed to say out loud what had happened.
“Young Master, could it be that… it was that incident… the last time…” Big Black Face’s eyes widened in shock as he suddenly got the answer right on a rare occasion. Being assaulted, being pinched on the butt. Could it be that it was this girl who did it?
“Shut up!” shouted the young man with fiery hair as he covered Big Black Face’s mouth. His face flushed as red as a baboon’s butt. ‘I am a dignified descendent of a demon king, and the future emperor of the monster beasts. If this matter was made known, would I still have even the slightest bit of dignity left?’
Big Black Face did not dare to say any more, but his guess had been affirmed. After looking at his young master, he then looked at Ling Chuxi with a gaze full of worship.
‘Daring to even do such a thing to His Majesty, the future demon emperor, is too amazing, too domineering.’
“No one else is allowed to know of this matter,” rang the condensed voice of the young man with fiery hair in Big Black Face’s ears.
Big Black Face nodded and his gaze towards Ling Chuxi became even more worshipful. Which monster beast wasn’t afraid when encountering the dignified descendent of a demon king in Little Silver Ancient Mountain? Even the various tribe kings would bend at the waist when they saw him, but now he was actually holding back and not daring to make a sound even when he was being taken advantage of in such a huge manner by a human. What an idol this human is!
“Hmph. You are truly amazing. I will settle scores with you in the future,” said the young man with fiery hair, already getting a headache.
“Amazing?” Ling Chuxi was even more lost. ‘What am I amazing at? Which part of this is amazing? What song are you trying to sing?’ Ling Chuxi’s understanding of this situation became even more muddled.
“Why have the two of you come to Little Silver Ancient Mountain?” asked the young man with fiery hair. As he would rather not look at Ling Chuxi, he addressed Huangfu Qingjue instead.
“Little fellow, please ask the demon king to come see me,” said Huangfu Qingjue, his body emitting a majestic aura that made it hard for one to resist his command. It was as if the aura was one with his body, deeply engraved within his bones.
Under this majestic aura, even those who possessed the blood of demon kings of past felt the bottom of their hearts tremble slightly.
“What qualifications do you two humans have to meet my master? Since you also know of my identity, you can just directly speak to me about any concerns you have.” The young man with fiery hair heard the words “little fellow”, and recalled the unfortunate encounter that happened that night so he replied to Huangfu Qingjue while stifling his anger.
“Can you open this array core?” Huangfu Qingjue asked indifferently.
“Open the array core? So, the both of you want to leave? Hahaha! I won’t let you get what you want!” barked the young man with fiery hair in reply, having guessed at Huangfu Qingjue and Ling Chuxi’s intentions as he secretly glared at Ling Chuxi.
(1) Snake Spirit Sickness (蛇精病) sounds like the term crazy (神经病) in Chinese.
