Chapter 132: CH 132

Chapter 132

Despite his warnings, Lu Bo Ting still went along with him.

For he could not let Shi Nian go to a dangerous place while he stood there and watched.

“Look!” Shi Nian was still laughing at him, “You’re definitely not of the same character as the one surnamed Bai.”

But looking at his expression, he seemed quite satisfied.

He didn’t even mention how powerful Bai Xiaoya was to have been able to know he was in an illusion at the time.

He even ignored the countless other treasures the demon cultivator offered. There was even a spiritual fruit that could increase one’s cultivation if one ate it.

Of course, at the time of that incident, they had not know each other yet, so he heard about all these things later.

With such an effort, they started to land on the planet.

From the air, it can be seen that this planet was called Ice and Fire for a reason. When viewed from above, ice and fire do dominate most of it.

And the temperatures were not always fixed. One moment there is an iceberg, the next it could be burning, and then the glacier turns into water and flows down as a river.

They had a Zerg detection device with them, but it was only useful for normal zergs, not the higher-level ones.

At that moment, the device was silent, but with his superior eyesight, he could already see the Zerg.

“There!” he said.

Lu Bo Ting didn’t drive the mecha right away, but asked Shi Nian, “Is there any way to counteract the formation’s methods?”

“There is one.” Shi Nian said, “Just don’t go in.”

It was the same as not doing anything.

He was about to turn his head back when he heard Shi Nian say, “Keep your original intention at heart. Sometimes, you will find the eye of the formation in the most unexpected places, so be flexible.”

Lu Bo Ting thought to himself, “How can he flexibly tear down people’s doors and use them as firewood?”

It was not surprising that Shi Nian had such a straightforward personality. Look at the person he grew up with.

But when life is on the line, sometimes it is necessary to be flexible.

Lu Bo Ting said, “I will try my best.”

While speaking, the mecha pierced through the sky and arrived in front of the Zerg in an instant.

It was an old man with white hair and a white beard who looked like an immortal.

He was sitting there with a pot of tea and a chessboard beside him, looking relaxed and calm, not at all like a demon.

Shi Nian couldn’t help but mutter, “There are very few orthodox practitioners who look as polished as he does.”

Lu Bo Ting also had to admit that, just by looking at him, no one would think that such a person was a demon who could gobble up a living person.

Or that he was of the same race as the Zerg in space who ate everything in sight.

Yet this man was indeed a demon and had tried to harm them on numerous occasions.

“What’s so surprising? ” The other party laughed and said, ” I once took Spiritual Evolution as my Dao path, and I spent many years in the cultivation world. I was known as the strongest strategist in the cultivation world at that time.”

As he spoke, his whole aura changed.

His hair turned black, his beard disappeared, and he became a young demon cultivator overflowing with an evil aura. “I was also disguised as a “demon cultivator” and I single-handedly planned the great conspiracy to destroy the cultivation world.”

“Pity it failed!” Shi Nian said.

The demon lord froze for a moment, then nodded, “Yes, it was a failure, spoiled by a person named Bai. If we consider Bai Bingyan, it is possible that your surname was also once Bai, or that you were surnamed Bai when you were a child. It seems that I am destined to fall at the hands of a person named Bai in this life too, right? ”

He was still smiling as he spoke, not at all like many criminals who are agitated when they are discovered.

Shi Nian didn’t explain to him that the original owner was the one who was named Bai when he was a child and that he had never had the surname Bai.

He simply said, “It failed, but they didn’t hold you for long either.”

“Yes.” The demon lord said, “I was so clever that I used a secret method and spent my time waiting. It took some time to escape that dungeon and break through that realm to come here while that person was not around. ”

When he said this, even Shi Nian had to admit that this person was indeed clever.

He knew what kind of places people imprisoned in the cultivation world were kept in. Ordinary prisons were already very strong, let alone a place where someone like the master of the demon race was kept.

Not to mention the fact that he was in a dungeon, he still knew the perfect time when Bai Xiaoya, who could stop him, was not around.

And having come to the interstellar, it just so happened that,

“It just so happens that you found your kind here, so you….”

“No, no, no.” The demon lord shook his head and laughed, “They are not like me, they are just lowly demons who eat everything. I’ve spent a lot of effort trying to enlighten three of them who can barely turn into human beings, but they are weak and not very good at their jobs, even more stupid than my former subordinates. ”

But Shi Nian didn’t want to hear any more of his boasting about how  clever he was and that his current and former men were stupid, so he asked, “Where are the mercenaries?”

“They’re all still there.” The demon lord said, “I’m not interested in them. They’re just a bunch of people who were born with a little bit of divine sense, and it can’t even be used for anything. I am a greater demon, the next demon emperor, so how can I look at such low-level food? ”

“If you can leave safely by then, then take them with you, but if not….. ”

“Wait a minute.” Lu Bo Ting said, “I have a question. If you don’t like the zerg, then why do you bother to help them get rid of me so that they can invade more easily? ”

“No, no, no, you guys think too much.” The young demon lord said, “I did not help them. That was just a result of things. What I wanted was the process.”

“Back then, I went to a lot of trouble to get the humans kill themselves and then have the demons invade… Anyway, with the appearance of the one called Bai Xiaoya, those plans went wrong. In the end, they were a complete failure. I shed almost all my demon blood in order to escape from the dungeon, and although I seem to be fine now, I know that my time is running out, so I naturally want to repeat the plan that didn’t work back then.”

Shi Nian snorted. The old saying was true. “Even when a man is dying, his words are good.” But this demon is straightforward, he is dying, so he wanted to see what else he could bring down with him.

“All just for this.” The demon lord said, “It’s a pity that only you two came today. I thought that a group of pioneers would come to rescue the mercenaries first. At that time, there would have been a lot of deaths and injuries because of one person’s lies. ”

Shi Nian: “……”

Lu Bo Ting said, “You thought wrong. That man said everything, including the possibility that you might have tampered here. ”

“ He also said you worked as a team. Did they run away or were they also demons?”

“No, there were indeed real people here.” The young lord of the demons said.

Lu Bo Ting: “……”

“On that point, he is not lying.” Shi Nian said.

After standing there for a long time, the smell of blood became stronger.

This formation, too, was made of blood.

The blood, bones and the lives that made up the formation were were indeed from real human beings, and it was not because they had run away that they could not be seen, but because they had already been sacrificed.

The demon lord had somehow reverted back to his immortal appearance, and after hundreds of years of disguise, he seemed to like it best.

Perhaps he thought he looked wiser and more intelligent this way.

He slowly sat back down and picked up his tea.

As the saying goes, tea is served to guests.

And he served tea before sending people into battle.

Shi Nian did not stop him, because the formation had already been activated when they walked in.

It was not possible to stop it by refusing a person from serving tea.

This formation was born from human blood and bones. There was no way but to enter it and break it from the inside.

At that time, the demon lord spoke.

“Indeed, I did not expect that the man would choose to tell you the truth. ”

“At the end of the day, there is yet another failure. But now that it has come to this, I don’t have any more time, so let’s get on with it! ”

Before he was forcefully teleported to the Mirage world, Shi Nian was only thinking that when he came out, he would kill this demon.

What he hated most in his life were those who were dying but still causing trouble. The demon cultivator that had captured him back then also wanted to kill him because he did not want to die.

Lu Bo Ting watched as the person beside him disappeared in a flash, just like a game where you suddenly go offline, making him unable to react or stop him.

“Don’t rush.” The demon lord said, “Just watch him first.”

Recalling this man’s usual methods, Lu Bo Ting understood almost instantly that this was another attempt to attack his heart.

Sure enough, a water screen appeared in front of him, and the figure inside was none other than Shi Nian.

Lu Bo Ting had never seen Shi Nian so weak before.

He was lying on the bed, his face pale, and he was just waking up.

Shi Nian’s worst state was when he was pushed into the water by Ji Yiqing and the others.

But after he was taken to the villa by Adjutant Xue, he casually went to the bathroom and even instructed the robots to rub his hair, and he was in high spirits.

It was not like now, lying there and looking as if he was about to die.

“Once he enters the illusionary world, he will still be Shi Nian on the outside, but Shi Shang Shu on the inside.” The young master of the Demons said, “He is receiving the memories of the young master, and when he wakes up, he is the young master.”

The Demon lord was not shy about telling Lu Bo Ting what the plot was.

It was nothing more than a story about a lovesick boy who falls in love with a lover.

Shi Shang Shu is the son of a scholar, and he likes the king of the dynasty, and the latter also happens to be interested in him.

The two of them were getting close to each other, and their relationship is growing stronger. It was a perfect match…

“By the way, that amorous prince looks exactly like you and acts similarly. Oh, because you are not are such a philanderer, I set it up so that this young boy trusted you so much that he didn’t find out about your many lovers outside. ”

But there’s no such thing as an impermeable wall, and the young man found out about it.

And in that situation.

There was a small corner of the light screen that showed the situation that happened before.

Simply put, the king’s enemies had captured Shi Shang Shu and another of his lovers and gave him a choice between them. And the king chose the other lover.

Just as Shi Shang Shu’s heart was broken, he was stabbed. If he had not been born with his heart slightly crooked to the side, he would have died on the spot.

Now that he has just been rescued, he was at a time when his energy was not good.

He had just woken up, and his face was still very pale. There was no blood to his lips. He looked very sick.

“Young master.” A little maid was bringing in medicine, and when she saw him wake up, she hurriedly said, “Young master, you are awake!”

He didn’t even bother to get up, in fact, he felt he was too tired to lift a finger at this moment.

“What’s wrong with me?”

The little maid’s eyes immediately filled with tears, “Young master, you, you……”

The good thing is that she didn’t need to say anything more, Shi Nian himself had already remembered that he had been stabbed.

“I am not dead. It looks like life is good.”

The little maid cried even harder at that.

Their young master was such a good man. Why did he have to suffer like this?

As she cried, she went forward to help Shi Nian up and let him lean on the pillow before handing over the medicine.

Outside, Lu Bo Ting could clearly see Shi Nian frowning, then grabbed the medicine bowl and smothered it in one gulp.

“It must be very unpleasant!” Lu Bo Ting pondered.

He liked to eat delicious foods, whether they were sweet, spicy, or sour, as long as they weren’t bitter. He didn’t even touch the dark chocolate, saying it was bitter.

But now he had to suffer such severe injuries and drink such bitter medicine.

Even though he didn’t refuse or say anything, the small gestures in his demeanour made it clear that he wouldn’t have touched it if it weren’t for his broken body.

He quickly picked up the candied fruit next to him and put it in his mouth, immediately suppressing most of the bitterness.

And he took another one.

Then he ate it all because he thought it was good.

“Such a greedy mouth.” The demon lord said.

Lu Bo Ting glared at him, “In life, we all have things we love. If you don’t feel inferior despite having such a unique hobby, how dare you say that other people are greedy for food? ”

“Ho!” The demon lord snorted, “Let me remind you that I am a demon, not a human being.”

“Besides, I read on Star Network that the Imperial Marshal is a strict and disciplined man who doesn’t care about pleasures, and that a tube of nutrients is often enough to last a day. Why, is the rumour on Starnet wrong, or is it… ”

Lu Bo Ting interrupted him. “I can’t expect everyone in the world to be like me. After all, it’s not something that harms the interests of others like killing and setting fire to others, is it? ”

In the meantime, he never took his eyes off the light screen, watching as Shi Nian figured out what was going on, and even opened it up to look at his wound.

“Tsk, so ugly.” Shi Nian whispered, then took the medicine and sprinkled an even layer on it, wrapped it up again, and tied a beautiful butterfly bow.

Finally, he decorated the bow with a red ribbon and was satisfied.

The little maid next to him was stunned and kept advising, “Young master, young master, don’t! You need a doctor to change the medicine. Don’t do it yourself, this won’t work. ”

However, Shi Nian was stunned and ignored, and when he finished dressing, he asked, “Is there anything to eat?”

“Yes, there is.” The little maid said, “The kitchen has boiled bone soup and all kinds of good and nutritious food. They are always ready.”

Without Shi Nian having to say more, she ran out to fetch the food.

It didn’t take long for him to eat the food with satisfaction.

Only when Lu Bo Ting saw how happy he was eating did he have the heart to ask, “Didn’t you say that this gentleman had been pampered since he was a child, that he was well brought up and had never suffered?”

However, when he was drinking the medicine, he only frowned. The stab wound was so long and deep on his body, he only felt it was ugly, and when he spread the medicine on it, it was as if it did not hurt at all.

The demon lord said: “Noticed it? Originally, this was indeed the case in this formation, but I thought about it and purposely let him retain his original character. ”

“This way, there is a high chance that the people in the formation will notice the irregularity. Take a guess as to why I did that.”

Lu Bo Ting thought to himself, “No matter why, it can’t be good.”

But it was clear to Lu Bo Ting that although Shi Nian often seemed to be very detached, his composure actually ran deep.

Even the demon lord said, “He didn’t even cry out in pain. Has this little phoenix also suffered?”

Lu Bo Ting’s heart ached.

Even though Shi Nian’s tone was light-hearted when he mentioned it, he knew that he must have had a hard time when he fell into the hands of the demon cultivator and was later used as a formation heart.

Not to mention later surviving in the infinite dungeon. The stages in it must have also been very dangerous, otherwise why would it be able to nourish someone from the brink of life?

When Shi Nian had finished eating, he started to go over what had happened earlier.

This little maid should not be the one serving him close by, “Where is Little Star.” He asked.

“Oh.” The little maid said, “The young master didn’t have it good this time. Little Star was hurt also pretty badly, and he can’t get up yet.”

“Originally Sister Gingko was here, but just now …..she had to do something first but will be back in a while.”

She said it vaguely, but Shi Nian was not stupid, “Is it that someone from the royal family has come?”

Gingko was the serving girl next to Mrs. Shang Shu.  Now, husband and wife were on a tour of the south with the emperor, while the elder brother was away on an errand and the second brother was at the Jiangnan Academy.

Ginkgo was his mother’s personal maid and was left behind because she was afraid that he would be left alone in the house with no one to take care of him.

So now, after such an accident, she and the first housekeeper were the only ones left in charge of the house.

The man from the palace must have come to talk about his injury, and the two of them must have gone to meet him.

Shi Nian pondered it clearly, but the little maid was quite frightened. The young master suffered such a serious injury this time because the prince chose that Yan girl.

At this time, mentioning the palace, what if he tosses up again, and breaks the wound open.

“Little Master, you…” ”

“ Young Master.” At this time, Gingko came back, and asked, with a look of surprise, “You are finally awake. How is it? Does the wound still hurt? Is there anything you want to eat? ”

“It doesn’t hurt, I’ve eaten.” Shi Nian replied smoothly, then asked, “What did the people from the royal palace say?”

At the mention of this, Ginkgo suddenly changed her expression.

She looked seriously at the little maid beside her and said, “You told him about that?”

“No, no.” The little maid hurriedly said, “The housekeeper specifically confided in me. How could I ……”

“I guessed.” Shi Nian said.

He pulled the quilt upwards to make himself lie more comfortably, “Ginkgo, tell me!”

Suddenly, Ginkgo felt as if their young master had changed.

She did not want to mention it, “This…young master, you are still injured. Let’s wait until you are well…….” ”

Talk.” Shi Nian said.

Ginkgo could do nothing but confess, “King Ting came in person, but the housekeeper and I kept him back. We also confiscated the things he sent us, saying that you were not awake yet and we, as servants, could not make decisions….” ……”

“And about that day?”

“That day, that day ……” Gingko looked at Shi Nian and said carefully, “Prince Ting said that the Yan girl was pregnant, so …… ”

Shi Nian let out an “oh”.

“So he wanted to say that he didn’t choose that Yan girl, but the child.”

“It’s a pity that he told me before that she was allowed in the palace because of her identity, and he never touched her.”

“Young master, you…”

Shi Nian waved his hand, “No need to persuade me, I understand everything. By the way ……”

“What else?” Ginkgo immediately asked.

Shi Nian: “Fetch me some snacks, any kind of melon seeds, nuts, and fruits.”

Ginkgo: “……”

Little maid: “……”

The young master’s brain must be broken. You’re not even sad and just thinking about food?

Outside, the demon lord also froze for a moment, “Isn’t he even sad?”

Lu Bo Ting said, “He’s sad.”

It’s just that there are some people who don’t necessarily show their sadness on their faces, and they never want to show it to others.

Sadness as well as anger.

After all, what could be achieved by losing one’s temper with these two girls.
