Chapter 26: The Devil God’s Face (2)
The Devil God stood up and looked at her with his hands behind his back.
Only wanting to eliminate his discontentment towards Mu Mei-ji, Tian Zhen crawled up immediately afterwards and probingly said: “Your Majesty, actually……have you thought that maybe Mu Mei-ji doesn’t dare to say those offensive words about you at all?”
“The Demon Realm’s little king has yet to look down on my courage,” The Devil God said, “It was Jiu Sicang who couldn’t beat her.”
In the end, are you stupid or smart? Tian Zhen was ignorant: “Since Your Majesty knows, why did you still dispatch the little heavenly king……”
“Although Mu Mei-ji doesn’t dare to offend me, but injuring a Devil Realm general, is not giving me face. A puny demon king dares to oppose the Devil Realm, it’s necessary to pay the price.”
So it turns out that Devil God Daren’s face wasn’t something you could regret touching. Tian Zhen teared up. If the cannon fodder comrades were to hear these words, would they regret so much that they kill themselves once more? When working, let the Devil God maintain some face by saying for instance “Devil God V5” and perhaps you won’t leave the stage this time around.
Look, whoever treats the Devil God like a fool is a fool themself.
She didn’t make a sound but the Devil God opened his mouth: “Bird Woman, what do you like about me?”
Recalling that confession just a moment ago, Tian Zhen started to sweat. However, she deeply understood that if she were to speak of the fact that she had used him right now, it would definitely make him feel that he had lost face. Making Devil God Daren lose face, the consequences were quite severe.
Tian Zhen stuttered: “I……I……”
The Devil God slightly inclined the upper part of his body and used the absolute height advantage to look down at her: “You, are deceiving me?”
“I don’t dare!” Amidst her alarm, Tian Zhen looked up towards his face and suddenly found inspiration: “I like Your Majesty’s face. Your Majesty is very beautiful!”
Long hair hung down in front of his forehead and half covered the forehead ornament glistening with golden light. An unmatched respectability. Then looking at those beautiful eyes and thin lips……both were born just right. Simultaneously carrying a dark Satan-like aura, he truly was a Devil God Daren of the beauty type. (T/N: I swear if Nuwa doesn’t have less charac descrip I’m gonna go insane. It looks simple enough in english but the number of diff ways to say he’s hot in chinese is getting annoying and slowing me down. Its almost every single chap now……..T.T)
A beautiful and strong man has always provoked a woman’s affections. Unfortunately, this god had a huge flaw and that was that his temper was too horrible. He would frequently use military force to settle all problems. As a result, all the admirers were scared away. Just look, even the Devil Realm’s most famous ** “Undiscriminating □” Yu Yangjiao was well-behaved in his presence.
If your temper was a bit better, the six realms’ No. 1 beautiful man definitely wouldn’t be Leader Zhao Huajun. Tian Zhen was unable to take her eyes off of him. Her nose heated up and an unending stream of inspiration came out.
Actually, elder one, your benefits aren’t few. Apart from being egotistical, conceited, inflexibly wanting face, treating others rudely, and being fond of frequently making cannon fodder, his moral ideology was enough to be outstanding.
For example, teaching his son that fighting requires military ethics……
For example, teaching the Devil Realm’s people to be kind and love one another……
……
She was still indulging in her fantasies. The Devil God had already straightened his body: “Good looks, you like them?”
“……Yes.”
“Superficial Bird Woman,” The Devil God waved his sleeve, “Withdraw.”
There was another additional adjective. Tian Zhen silently walked outside in silence and would occasionally turn her head around to look.
Alright, I really am superficial. Just based on this face, if you were to pursue me, I would still consider it. It truly was beautiful to the point of drooling……
She had yet to leave the hall gates very far when her head was smashed by an unknown hard object. The pain had Tian Zhen shouting ouch. Lifting her head up to look, sure enough, Lu Xiaocan was sitting atop a tall mountain of rock and happily laughing as he took a fruit and threw it at her in amusement.
Looking at the bloodstains on the small sleeves, Tian Zhen didn’t have anymore anger and contrarily, some pity arose. Last time when they met at the Kun Peng Imperial Palace, he was already carrying injuries and had said that he had been beaten by his father. Now, it seemed like it had actually been true and he frequently took a beating.
“Little monster, you just can’t be a bit well-behaved?”
Never had anyone dared to use this kind of tone to speak to him. Lu Xiaocan actually stopped his hand. He sized her up, his big eyes filled with a doubting look: “How did you get acquainted with my fuhuang?”
Tian Zhen didn’t feel like saying too much: “Children shouldn’t meddle in adult matters.”
It was quite clear that these words were the ones that the majority of children disliked the most. Lu Xiaocan leapt down from atop the mountain of rocks and placed his small hands on his back: “Hey, knowing who I am, what’s with your attitude!”
Tian Zhen puffed out a laugh: “Oh, oh. Greetings little heavenly king. I pay my respects to little heavenly king.”
Lu Xiaocan rolled his red eyes and a bit of slyness appeared.
Really resembles a rabbit! Tian Zhen couldn’t help reaching her hand out and wiping the remaining blood on the corner of his mouth for him: “Your fuhuang’s attack was really heavy, does it hurt? My place has medicine.”
A trace of astonishment flashed past. Lu Xiaocan loathingly leaned his face away to avoid her: “You’re really sickening.”
“Look at you taking a beating,” Tian Zhen didn’t mind and gave a thumbs-up, “You were right. When you can’t defeat other people, it’s only proper to think of a method.”
Hearing a different point of view from his father’s, Lu Xiaocan happily said: “Right, Da Peng Bird is too strong. If I didn’t trick him, he would kill me. No matter how I cultivate, I can’t catch up to big brother. Fuhuang likes big brother but always scolds me.”
Heavy military force with light intelligence was really wrong. Tian Zhen seriously said: “Only cultivating is useless. Those who can use their heads are the most fearsome! Next time, it’ll be fine to just not let your fuhuang know.”
Lu Xiaocan felt apprehensive: “I’ve never deceived fuhuang before.”
Tian Zhen blanked out for a moment and then stroked that small head while heaving a sigh: “You really are a good child. Since it’s like this, just don’t fight. When you encounter strong ones, you can run away faster.”
Lu Xiaocan raised his face: “Fuhuang said that those who run away just before the battle are trash.”
Devil God Daren rigidly wanted face. He didn’t allow the usage of strategies nor running away. Do you want to order your son to throw away his life? Tian Zhen inwardly cursed while her mouth lectured: “Idiot, those words were said towards adults. You’re still small. Preserving your life is the most important thing. If by any chance you were to be harmed by Da Peng Bird, your fuhuangwould grieve.” (T/N:…would he?)
Lu Xiaocan immediately showed a “Yeah, right” expression: “There’s no way Da Peng Bird could kill me. I already beat him until he only had a single breath left in him.”
Wicked little monster, his head is filled with schemes! Tian Zhen bitterly smiled. Da Peng King Chui Tian was truly pitiful. He’d just healed from being heavily injured by the father and yet follwing that, got heavily injured by the son. She solemnly educated the child: “For this matter, you’re in the wrong. When other people don’t take the initiative to provoke you, you shouldn’t bully them.”
Lu Xiaocan looked at her: “You’re really my mother?”
Tian Zhen restrained her feelings of inner turmoil: “That’s of course. If I wasn’t your mother, why would I save you, worry about you, and also speak up on your behalf?”
Lu Xiaocan blinked his eyes with a wronged look on his face: “Mother, fuhuang hit me and it really hurts.”
Tian Zhen vigilantly drew back: “Find medicine on your own!”
“Those medicine are all inferior goods,” Lu Xiaocan disdained. He beamingly grabbed her hand, “Mother’s blood is the most useful.” Finished speaking, he “nom-ed” a mouthful. (T/N: think sound of cookie monster eating cookies)
It came, it came! Tian Zhen was so mad she lifted her other hand and struck down.
“There’s no way you’re my mother!” Lu Xiaocan rapidly got out of the way. He turned into red light and moved past her, leaving behind a string of resounding laughter, “You wait here. I’m going to go find a bottle.”
Fetching a bottle to draw her blood? Tian Zhen immediately ran towards the reverse direction.
“Your Majesty! Your Majesty!”
The Devil God had yet to sit down before he saw a certain Bird Woman dash inside again. He couldn’t help critically saying: “Ill-Mannered Bird Woman!”
Tian Zhen didn’t care about the additional adjective and kneeled down to make a request: “I have a very small wish. I beseech Your Majesty’s help in accomplishing it.”
“Speak.”
“I want to live together with Your Majesty.”
Never had there been anyone who had dared to make this request. The Devil God was surprised and rejected it: “I don’t like it.”
“No problem,” Tian Zhen earnestly said, “I like it!”
……
The Devil God very straightforwardly shot her down: “I, don’t like you.”
You’re the Devil Emperor, of course you wouldn’t consider a Bird Woman. In truth, I also don’t dare to really like you. Tian Zhen consoled herself but still felt hurt. Take a look, you’re offering yourself up yet the other person doesn’t even want you.
Forced by the situation, she braced herself and recited the lines from a soap opera: “Your Majesty is so dignified, so aloof and so remote. How could I, a puny phoenix, dare to unreasonably request for Your Majesty’s love? I only hope to accompany Your Majesty by your side. I would be perfectly content with just looking at Your Majesty every day and attending to Your Majesty.”
Having encountered this kind of corny confession for the first time since his birth, the Devil God knitted his brows: “Impudent Bird Woman, you are not allowed to pester me. Withdraw!”
Going outside to become a long term blood bank? It’d be better to die! Tian Zhen was greatly worried and threw herself forward to hug his leg: “I beg Your Majesty, satisfy my low and petty wish!”
Not used to being hugged by others, the Devil God was slightly angry. Subconsciously, he was about to use a Divine Body Protection Seal, but then he thought of how, although this woman’s face was strangely thick, her constitution was unusually inferior. If there had been a delay, she might’ve lost her life. Adoration originally wasn’t a big wrong and if this were spread around, there would unavoidably be doubts about him indiscriminately killing his subordinate. As a result, he personally picked her up: “Unbridled Bird Woman!”
Tian Zhen seized the chance to hug his waist and shed tears: “I won’t leave!”
“Withdraw,” The Devil God was blunt, “I, don’t want to say it a second time.”
“Leaving Your Majesty, my life would be better off dead. If Your Majesty insists on me leaving, then just……just kill me!” Tian Zhen simply shut both her eyes and grievingly said, “I’m perfectly willing to do so. I absolutely won’t blame Your Majesty!”
The Devil God was a man and possessed a man’s elegant demeanor. Of course, he couldn’t do something like turning an admirer into cannon fodder.
Time passed by in silence. Tian Zhen’s heart ba-bumped, ba-bumped as it skipped and her two legs trembled. A strand of long hair brushed against her face. Cool and slippery, separated by the wide, black robe, she could feel the hardness of the chest in front of her……
Finally——
“I permit you.”
She gambled right! Tian Zhen opened her eyes in exultation and let go of him: “Long long live Your Majesty!” (T/N: normally its long live but she added an add. charac for long in there)
“Honey-tongued Bird Woman!”
……
Midnight, the thousands of miles of rocky mountain were heavily layered in cold air. Qin Palace was located on high terrain and the sky winds naturally poured in from outside. It was surprisingly incomparably cold.
The Devil God sat atop the couch alone with his upper body slanted and his left hand was supporting his forehead. The ink-like long hair hung down in front of his forehead and drifted around after being blown by the wind. His long eyelashes drooped down and his beautiful pupils were slightly shut. He was just like a model of The Thinker statue.
A blue devil light was emitted from his body and reflected within the main hall. His hazy beauty had the aura of a Western legend to it.
Still so stylish while sleeping, you’re the first! Tian Zhen was envious and at the same time, she suddenly realized something——no wonder Qin Hall didn’t have any other lighting equipment. So it turns out that Devil God Daren’s body itself possessed a lighting function.
Another burst of sky wind blew in. Tian Zhen repeatedly sneezed as she hugged her shoulders and shivered.
The new leader clearly didn’t understand how to live it up. This place was said to be a Qin Hall but it unexpectedly didn’t even have something to defend against the cold with. Tomorrow, she had to go and make a quilt……
“Bird Woman, you are disturbing me.” Unknowingly, those phoenix eyes had already opened.
Tian Zhen promptly apologized: “I’m sorry, Your……achoo!”
“Inferior commonplace god with a weak constitution,” The Devil God straightened his body, “Come over here.”
With the great deity ordering her, how could Tian Zhen dare to disobey? She rapidly rushed to stand in front of him: “What command does Your Majesty have?”
The Devil God lifted a hand.
“Your……Your Majesty……” Tian Zhen stuttered. Her heart was filled with shock. I admit that you have an elegant demeanor, but I’m still not fearless enough to dare to sleep in elder one’s embrace!
The Devil God was impatient and white light flashed at his fingertips.
The person in front of her rapidly enlarging, Tian Zhen was baffled. She lowered her head and saw a familiar pair of claws.
She’d turned back into a bird again!
The Devil God sent her high in the air and brought her into his hand. He put her within his sleeve and then continued to model The Thinker.
