“What are you doing here?” When the Demon King’s saw Bai Yang, his pupils revealed a hint of astonishment and an indecipherable emotion. Then he pointed at the panting Li Yu and asked, “Did you just say he isn’t Li Yu, but the Western Demon Lord?”

“Yes.” Bai Yang stood in front of the Demon King and spoke towards Li Yu before him in a deep tone, “I went to the palace where the Western Demon Lord’s concubines were imprisoned. One of his concubines told me he had the Nirvana Pearl. As long as someone has the Nirvana Pearl, they’ll be able to steal another person’s body without consequences. I suspected that the Western Demon Lord may have stolen someone’s body and escaped. I just didn’t expect it to be Li Yu.”

“So you immediately rushed over.”

“Yeah. Your Highnesses’ guard was down, and I was afraid the Western Demon Lord would take advantage of that.”

After he finished speaking, he rushed forward to attack the Western Demon Lord.

He focused solely on fighting, so he didn’t catch the complex expression that the Demon King of Eternal Night wore.

The Western Demon Lord retreated as he fought., “Xie Ze Tian, the Demon King’s Qi has already deviated, and I’ve given him a serious injury. If you and I join hands, the two of us could help ourselves to the whole world! Think clearly, Xie Ze Tian!”

The Western Demon Lord tempted Bai Yang as they fought. The original Xie Ze Tian may have listened to his words. However, he was facing Bai Yang. Bai Yang did not have the ambition to dominate the world, so the Western Demon Lord’s words were not the slightest bit attractive.

“My loyalty to the Demon King is visible from the heavens. For the crimes you’ve committed, only death awaits you!” Of course, at the opportune moment, he needed to express his loyalty by shouting some heartfelt words.

He and the Western Demon Lord battled until the Demon King recovered and joined in. With two against one, the Western Demon Lord fell from the sky. Seeing that he couldn’t win, he fled at meteoric speed.

However, just as he rushed away, the Demon King appeared in front of him and hit him with his palm. The Western Demon Lord flew back from the strike and vomited blood.

That attack was very strong, so the Western Demon Lord fell to the ground and stopped breathing.

The Demon King walked to the Western Demon Lord’s side and, disregarding his own injury, pumped his magic into Li Yu’s body.

“Don’t worry about me!” The Demon King furrowed his brows tighter and increased the rate he was releasing magic.

“Your Highness, let me do it.” Bai Yang walked over, crouched, and began to release his magic. His help eased the pressure from the Demon King of Eternal Night.

However, no matter how hard the two men tried to restore Li Yu’s pulse, Li Yu’s body remained unchanged. He still wasn’t breathing.

“Your Highness, he’s already dead.” Bai Yang grabbed the Demon King’s hand, still pumping out magic. “When the Western Demon Lord took over his body, his spirit disappeared. He was already dead.”

The Demon King’s expression was one of agony. When he retracted his hand, he fiercely punched the ground. “Damn.”

Bai Yang was surprised. He always thought of the Demon King as someone who wouldn’t even blink when killing, as someone completely cold hearted. Now it seemed that the Demon King cared a great deal for those around him.

Perhaps he was more emotional than Bai Yang had imagined.

This realization caused Bai Yang to change how he regarded the Demon King. He was no longer constantly guarded and scared of him. Bai Yang placed his hand on the Demon King’s shoulder and whispered, “Your Highness, restrain your grief.”

The Demon King was motionless.

“Your Highness?” Bai Yang was confused.

The Demon King vomited fresh blood and collapsed.

Looking at the people on the ground around him, Bai Yang started to worry. He had been counting on the Demon King returning to his palace so that he could return to the Human Realm to visit the Male Lead, Zhou Ying. But with the Demon King unconscious, Bai Yang couldn’t just abandon the Demon King and walk away.

The people outside finally rushed in. The Demon King and Zhong Shuo had gone together to fight the Western Demon Lord. Zhong Shuo usually stayed in the barracks, but rushed over when he heard the news.

“Your Highness! Your Highness!”

Zhong Shuo rushed in with a group of heavily armed guards. Seeing Bai Yang lift the Demon King, he couldn’t help but be shocked and ask, “His Highness was injured?”

“Yes, but don’t let the news get out. I need to tend to his wounds.” Bai Yang said.

“I’ll get the doctor.” Zhong Shuo said.

Bai Yang was desperate. He just wanted to quickly throw away the hot potato in his arms.

However, before Zhong Shuo could even turn around, the Demon King opened his eyes and snapped, “I forbid you from calling for a doctor!”

“Your Highness, you’re awake?” Bai Yang and Zhong Shuo both revealed happy expressions.

“Pass along my order; tonight’s events will not be leaked.” The Demon King’s eyes stared straight at Zhong Shuo, his gaze like a sharpened knife. He’d returned to his usual cold and decisive character. Despite being injured, he was still imposing and compelled obedience.

“But, your Highness, your injury…” Zhong Shuo was always loyal to the Demon King, so he worried.

“Ze Tian, stay behind to heal my wounds.” The Demon King said, “The rest of you can go.”

Zhong Shuo hesitated, before replying, “Yes.”

After finishing their farewells, another group of guards stood outside.

Bai Yang was speechless. This time. he wouldn’t be able to escape. He’d planned to wait for Zhong Shuo to call a doctor so he could return to the Place of Eternal Darkness. He might have been able to return to the Human Realm under the guise of finding a miracle medicine for the Demon King. Yet that plan was impossible now.

“Help me to the bed.” The Demon King stood up with much effort.

Bai Yang supported him to helped him forward.

This palace had curtains everywhere, but when one walked behind the curtains, they found a gorgeous bed.

“Your Highness, I don’t know how to heal people. How about we get the doctor to come…” Bai Yang said.

“No need, I want you to stand guard by my side.” The Demon King said on the bed and softly panted. He smiled and sincerely said, “I really have to thank you for this time.”

Bai Yang expressed his loyalty, “Your Highness, being able to share your burdens is this subordinate’s duty.”

The Demon King of Eternal Night sat crossed-legged and closed his eyes. The magic he had surrounding him became more concentrated. It should be healing him automatically.

Since the order had been made, Bai Yang couldn’t leave, and could only stay by his side.

He didn’t know how long he stood guard, but Bai Yang fell asleep without realizing. He woke up in a daze, but a sudden coldness around his body snapped him awake.

When he opened his eyes, he saw that the Demon King’s magic was so concentrated that he couldn’t even see his figure underneath. It was a textbook example of losing control of one’s magic.

“Your Highness!” Bai Yang was startled and gathered his own magic to control the Demon King’s.

However, as his magic came into contact with the Demon King’s, it was as though the Demon King’s magic came to life. Countless tendrils reached out and grabbed Bai Yang. One of the magic tendrils had even wrapped around his neck.

Bai Yang was caught off guard and was dragged onto the Demon King’s body.

Bai Yang reached out to support himself on the bed and tried to push away. However, the Demon King’s magic had an extremely powerful attraction ability. As soon as he broke away even just a little bit, the magic grasping his body would exert more strength and pull Bai Yang back onto the Demon King’s chest
