"Darling, you are finally willing to come back."
The soft and charming voice sounded like lingering zither music. The tone of her voice was filled with the coquettish pout and bitterness of a lovesick woman. It was pleasing to the ears and stirring. It left one's heart palpitating.
The Infernal Queen's footsteps were light and her posture was elegant. Beneath her gorgeous feather dress, her graceful figure was curvaceous. Her beauty was stifling.
When Sunless and the silver-haired girl saw the four figures walking over from the horizon, they immediately recognized the familiar black-haired youth. They spontaneously stood up to welcome him, but the Infernal Queen was walking in front of them.
Upon hearing the Infernal Queen say those words coquettishly, Sunless and the silver-haired girl felt their minds jolt. They could not help but stop in their tracks as they looked in the direction the Infernal Queen was walking in.
The only existence that the Infernal Queen would so intimately call 'Darling' was the Infernal domain's Infernal King!
And at that moment, the Infernal Queen's words were clearly directed at the Infernal King.
The Infernal King had returned?
Sunless and the silver-haired girl looked over warily, but there were clearly four figures walking in the direction the Infernal Queen was heading.
Where was the Infernal King?
Shi Xiaobai walked over from afar and similarly saw Sunless and the silver-haired girl in the pavilion. But soon, he saw the devastatingly beautiful snake-haired woman walking towards the quartet.
Shi Xiaobai's gaze could not help but land on the snake-haired woman's eyes because he could sense that the pair of beautiful eyes were staring at him.
As their gazes locked, Shi Xiaobai immediately sensed that the crystal-like eyes were brewing with a particular emotion. There was some sort of love intertwined with it.
Shi Xiaobai felt a sense of déjà vu from such a gaze and love.
Kali often used such a gaze to stare at him, and the emotions in the snake-haired woman's eyes were even more intense.
Pulp Farmer and company, who were beside Shi Xiaobai, had a drastic change in expression as they stopped in their tracks. They turned their heads to survey their surroundings as they turned nervous.
The beautiful woman's snake-like hair was just too eye-catching. Pulp Farmer and company could tell her identity at a glance.
The Infernal Queen Medusa. All the trial-takers who had been to the Demon Domain and had the fortune of seeing the Infernal Queen Medusa would leave behind a description of her — she was devastatingly beautiful, unfathomable, the number one beauty in the world, and the second strongest in the Demon Domain!
Pulp Farmer and company instantly understood the Infernal Queen's beauty, but they were in no mood to appreciate it. This was because they could clearly sense the invisible deterrence emitted by the Infernal Queen's every step.
Danger!
It was very dangerous!
It was extremely dangerous!
This was the first impression the Infernal Queen gave the trio.
And when the Infernal Queen said that, it made them even more alarmed!
The husband the Infernal Queen addressed could only be the Infernal King.
So the meaning of this sentence was that … the Demon King had returned?
Pulp Farmer and company immediately surveyed their surroundings nervously and warily in search of the Infernal King.
Sensing the trio beside him come to a halt, Shi Xiaobai immediately withdrew his gaze from the snake-haired woman. He slowly came to a halt and turned his head, asking in puzzlement, "What's wrong?"
Liu Yu was jolted awake. Recalling that Shi Xiaobai did not know Medusa's identity, he immediately warned him softly, "Be careful. That snake-haired woman is the Infernal King's wife, the Infernal Queen Medusa!"
Shi Xiaobai was surprised as he turned his head to look at the snake-haired woman who was still gracefully walking over. He saw the woman suddenly appear three meters in front of him from hundreds of meters away in a blink of an eye.
Shi Xiaobai's heart skipped a beat, but he did not sense any animosity from the woman. Hence, he did not react too much.
Pulp Farmer and company were given a fright as they took on a stance to face her!
But at this moment, the Infernal Queen's gaze swept towards Pulp Farmer and company.
Pulp Farmer and company immediately turned their heads to the side and even turned their bodies.
Rumor had it that the Infernal Queen Medusa's gaze could petrify enemies who looked into her eyes. Pulp Farmer and company did not dare to be careless, so they immediately chose to turn their heads to avoid the Infernal Queen's gaze.
"Darling, are these three your … friends?"
The Infernal Queen's charming voice resounded in their ears as Pulp Farmer and company turned their heads in surprise.
What did she mean by that?
Shi Xiaobai was the most surprised because when the Infernal Queen said those words, she was clearly staring at him. He said with a frown, "Are you talking to This King?"
A look of surprise appeared on the Infernal Queen's face as she asked curiously, "What do you mean by that, Darling? Could it be that this concubine can call anyone else husband? "
With that said, everyone was stunned.
Pulp Farmer and company stared with widened eyes. The silver-haired girl gaped her mouth. Even Sunless could not help but exclaim, "Ah?"
The Infernal Queen had actually addressed Shi Xiaobai as' Darling '!
Heavens, what was going on!?
As the person in question, Shi Xiaobai appeared calmer. He looked at the Infernal Queen and said calmly, "This King has never seen you before, so how can This King be your Darling?"
When the Infernal Queen heard this, she frowned slightly and said sadly, "Darling, what's the meaning of this? You have been away from home for so many days, causing me to yearn for you every day. Yet, you pretend not to know me the moment you return? "
Shi Xiaobai said helplessly, "Look carefully again. This King is really not your Darling!"
The Infernal Queen laughed in spite of herself and said, "Darling, are you testing me? Your disguise in the world is always different, but I have been with you for such a long period of time. Even if you were to disguise as an old man, I would be able to recognize you at a glance, much less when you disguise as a youth! My husband, please don't joke with me anymore! "
After the Infernal Queen said that, she took a step towards Shi Xiaobai.
Shi Xiaobai immediately subconsciously took a step back and said in a deep voice, "You have indeed recognized the wrong person. This King is not your Darling."
The Infernal Queen stopped in her tracks and gaped slightly before lowering her head. She said softly, "Could it be that I did something wrong?"
That tearful look was truly pitiful.
Shi Xiaobai frowned slightly. The snake-haired woman's expression and demeanor did not look fake at all. It did not look like she was acting at all.
However, this was indeed the first time he was seeing the snake-haired woman. Of course, it was impossible for him to be her Darling.
Furthermore, Liu Yu had just reminded him that the woman was the Infernal Queen, the wife of the Infernal King.
If the Infernal Queen addressed him as Darling, didn't that mean he was the Infernal King?
Shi Xiaobai was rendered speechless. He was clearly here to kill the Infernal King, so how did he suddenly become the Infernal King?
Was he mistaken?
Or was it a conspiracy?
But with the Infernal Queen's status, how could she use the term 'Darling' for a conspiracy?
"He isn't."
A cold voice resounded at that moment.
Sunless had already walked over from afar. She calmly brushed past the Infernal Queen and walked to Shi Xiaobai's side.
Then, she turned to look the Infernal Queen in the eye and said with certainty, "He isn't the Infernal King."
The Infernal Queen retracted her resentful gaze from Shi Xiaobai and gave Sunless a serious look. She whispered, "Could the person you were waiting for at the Door of the Bravehearts be my Darling?"
Sunless nodded before shaking her head. She said seriously, "It's him, but he isn't your Darling."
The usually reticent Sunless suddenly expressed a rare desire to obtain victory in this dispute.
Pulp Farmer and company also snapped out of their daze, but they were at a loss for words. They naturally did not believe that Shi Xiaobai was the Infernal King, but they similarly did not believe that the Infernal Queen would use the Infernal King's name to 'act'.
What was going on?
Shi Xiaobai sighed and looked at the Infernal Queen. He said, "You must have made a mistake for some reason. This King isn't the Infernal King, nor does This King know you."
The Infernal Queen similarly sighed and said faintly, "Shi Xiaobai, there's a red mole under your right armpit and a birthmark on your left chest. Why don't you tell me if I made a mistake?"
