Eh? He wasn't angry?
"Since you don't have anything else to do, come and pour tea and grind ink for me."
Ah?
Bo Yang was dumbfounded. Pour tea and grind ink?
The Eternal Night Devil lifted his eyelids and glanced at him lightly. "Li Yu isn't here anymore, so he needs someone to serve him. You'll be his servant."
What kind of joke was this? If he had to face this great Buddha every day, wouldn't he have to tremble all day and lose all his hair?
"Master, your subordinate is clumsy and can't do well."
"If you can't do well, you can learn. Unless you're not willing to serve me?" The Eternal Night Devil raised his eyebrows.
Did Bo Yang dare to say that he wasn't willing?
Of course he didn't dare, so he could only agree. Thus, he ended his leisurely life of wandering around and helped the Eternal Night Devil in the main hall.
If he had known this would happen, he would have worked harder. Compared to facing the Eternal Night Devil every day, being the commander of the guards was actually not bad.
Although he wasn't willing, Bo Yang couldn't find a reason to reject it. He could only bite the bullet and take up the position.
He had been a rich young master since he was young and had never done the work of serving others. What if he didn't serve the Demon King well and got killed?
With a heavy heart, Bo Yang started his life of pouring tea and water in the main hall. After a while, he realized that the Eternal Night Devil was very easy to serve. He didn't have any special requests. Every day, he would review official documents and discuss official matters with his subordinates. He was so busy that he wanted to die.
As for Bo Yang, he was responsible for pouring tea and water at the side. Most of the time, he would doze off. At first, he was still cautious. However, Bo Yang came from the modern era after all. He couldn't be as careful as the ancient people. After a while, he relaxed and dozed off peacefully.
When the Eternal Night Devil discussed business with someone, regardless of whether it was big or small or confidential, he would always let Bo Yang listen by the side. At first, the people who came in to discuss business were surprised to see that Bo Yang was the Eternal Night Devil's attendant. After all, Bo Yang was one of the Four Great Protectors and the commander of the Eternal Night Devil's Guards. Asking him to serve tea was a waste of talent and even a little insulting. But as time passed, they realized that Bo Yang was not there to serve their Master. Instead, it was their Master who was there to serve him.
No matter how hard he tried, the Eternal Night Devil could not grind the ink properly. He waved his hand impatiently and chased him away so that he could grind the ink himself.
The Eternal Night Demon Monarch had no choice but to make do with it. The Eternal Night Demon Monarch had no choice but to drink it.
Sometimes, Bo Yang would fall asleep while sitting. When the Demon King discussed business with someone, he would lower his voice and even change to another place to continue the discussion. He was afraid that he would wake him up.
Not only that, the Lord Devil Lord would also consult Bo Yang when he was hesitating. How could Bo Yang know anything about government affairs? He often talked about things that did not make sense, but the Lord Devil Lord did not get angry.
More importantly, the Lord Devil Lord never avoided Bo Yang when discussing secrets.
Everyone understood that Xie Zetian was the Lord Devil Lord's confidant and the most favored official in the Demon Realm.
The others followed the wind and became more respectful to Bo Yang. Even if he did not do anything, a lot of credit would go to him.
Regarding this, Bo Yang could only look at the sky speechlessly.
In the blink of an eye, more than a year had passed. During this time, Bo Yang wanted to go to the human world all the time. Unfortunately, the Eternal Night Devil kept him under control and kept an eye on him every day. Fortunately, the Eternal Night Devil did not hide anything from him. Naturally, when Lou Jianfeng sent the news, he was also present.
In addition to arranging manpower and resources in the human world, Lou Jianfeng had two big goals. One was to find the Boundary Stone, and the other was to find the Child of Destiny.
Previously, he focused on the male lead and thought that he might be the Child of Destiny. However, after Bo Yang did something in the human world, there were many fake Children of Destiny in the human world. Therefore, the people in the Demon Realm could not figure out which one was real and which one was fake. In order to prevent any fish from escaping the net, Lou Jianfeng would regularly send news about the Child of Destiny. He focused on a few people who were likely to be the Child of Destiny.
Currently, the male lead was also one of the skeptics. However, compared to the others, he was much less suspicious. The reason why they paid attention to him was because he carried the Dragon Sword. Everyone knew that if they wanted to take the Dragon Sword, they had to wait until the male lead reached the Nascent Soul stage. Therefore, the news that Lou Jianfeng sent back was mainly to pay attention to the male lead's cultivation level.
The concept of time in the Cultivation World was different from the world that Bo Yang lived in in the 21st century. Once he started cultivating, ten days to half a month would pass in the blink of an eye. What's more, in order to break through to the next level, it was even possible to sit in seclusion for ten years. Bo Yang was forced to stay in the Demon Realm by the Demon King for more than a year. A year was a long time to him, but in the eyes of the people in the Cultivation World, it was only a very short time.
Once one stepped onto the path of immortality, one's life would be extremely long. A year was nothing.
Lou Jianfeng sent news that the male lead's cultivation level was almost at the late stage of the Foundation Establishment stage. It was already very scary to have such a cultivation level in a year. In the Cultivation World, if one could reach the late stage of the Foundation Establishment stage at such a young age, unless one was a genius with good luck, most people would have to use their own elixirs and miraculous medicines to forcefully cultivate it.
In this world, the Foundation Establishment stage was very long. The early, middle, and late stages were very long. This was because this was the first stage of a cultivator's cultivation. Their physical quality and temperament were not yet stable. More importantly, the meridians and channels for cultivation had not been established yet. To develop these things, it would take a very long time.
When Bo Yang heard this, he understood that the male lead was safe for the time being. Moreover, he had used his own Sky Yang Pill, so he was at ease.
After listening to the message sent by Lou Jianfeng, the Eternal Night Devil asked, "Xie Zetian, do you think that Zhou Ying's cultivation level is rising too quickly?"
Bo Yang was shocked. The Eternal Night Devil was very sharp. He could actually see that something was wrong with one look.
Bo Yang continued to mislead him, "Master, among his peers, Zhou Ying's cultivation level is not the fastest. It's very likely that someone deliberately fed him elixirs. "
The Eternal Night Devil narrowed his eyes, "You're saying that someone deliberately raised his cultivation level in order to get the Dragon Sword as soon as possible?"
"Yes. If one's cultivation level rises too quickly, it will be very difficult to cultivate in the future if one is not careful. It might even damage one's spiritual root and be unable to advance any further. If Zhou Ying was really nurtured as a pillar of the sect, he wouldn't be able to rise so quickly. "Bo Yang calmly analyzed.
Using elixirs and spiritual treasures could indeed increase one's cultivation level. However, one had to control the amount used. Otherwise, it would be counterproductive. Especially when building a foundation for the Foundation Establishment stage, one should not spoil things through excessive enthusiasm. Therefore, although various sects used elixirs to nurture their own rookies, they would not increase their cultivation level by too much.
Of course, the Sky Yang Pill was an exception. It was very safe, so it became a treasure that everyone sought after. Bo Yang gave the male lead the Sky Yang Pill that the Eternal Night Devil gave him, which was why his cultivation level rose so quickly. The Demon King would definitely not be able to guess the reason.
When the Eternal Night Devil heard Bo Yang's words, he pondered for a moment and nodded. "What you said makes a lot of sense."
Bo Yang did not want him to continue on this topic, because he knew that the Eternal Night Devil was definitely not easy to fool. If he thought about it deeply, he would definitely find something wrong. Therefore, he quickly changed the topic. "Master, have you finished dealing with the government affairs?"
"I'm almost done." The Eternal Night Devil raised his head. "What's the matter?"
Bo Yang hurriedly said, "Master, my cultivation level hasn't increased much recently. I would like to compare notes with you and see where the problem lies."
The Eternal Night Devil laughed. This laugh was very sincere. Even though Bo Yang felt that he should be a straight man, he was still a little softened by this laugh.
It was really scary for a man to look like this. Fortunately, he usually liked to put on a fake smile, and his aura was too strong, so no one dared to covet him. If his aura was slightly weaker, with his beauty, he would probably be torn apart by the people of the Demon World.
The people of the Demon World were valiant, and the people of the Mortal World cared about etiquette, justice, integrity, and shame. In the Demon World … if they liked something, they would pounce on it and snatch it.
No, no, he had to stop thinking. Why was his thoughts getting more and more crooked?
Bo Yang gathered his thoughts and heard the Eternal Night Devil say, "You've been by my side for more than a year, and this is the first time you've made a request."
Bo Yang was stunned. After thinking about it carefully, it seemed to be true. For more than a year, he was like a pig by the Eternal Night Devil's side. He did not speak, did not care, ate, slept, and ate. Recently, he even seemed to have put on weight.
He did not make any requests, and did not act like he "wanted power and cultivation" at all.
Bo Yang's heart was alarmed, and he pondered if he should act more greedy next.
"Master?"
"Okay, let's go."
The Eternal Night Devil stood up and gestured for Bo Yang to follow behind him. The two of them quickly arrived at the training ground.
The Eternal Night Devil stood in the middle of the training ground with his hands behind his back. He gestured, "Come."
It was the first time Bo Yang sparred with the Eternal Night Devil, so he was a little excited. He cupped his fists and said, "Master, I won't hold back."
The Eternal Night Devil smiled and nodded.
Since he had the approval of the Eternal Night Devil, Bo Yang did not hold back anymore. The two of them fought back and forth.
As they fought, Bai Yang felt that the Eternal Night Demon King could defeat him with only one hand. Perhaps out of respect, the Eternal Night Demon King did not want to hurt Bai Yang's pride. Therefore, the Eternal Night Demon King was still very serious.
The more they fought, the more Bo Yang understood how scary the Eternal Night Devil was. Of course, Xie Zetian's skills were not to be underestimated. Originally, Bo Yang only fought with the Eternal Night Devil to change the topic. Now, he was getting more and more excited and serious.
The Eternal Night Devil probably saw that he was interested, and the smile on his face deepened. The two of them fought back and forth in the training ground. After some time, Bo Yang could not catch his breath and suddenly fell from the sky. Just as he was about to fall, the Eternal Night Devil suddenly appeared beside him and hugged his waist.
This position was a little ambiguous.
Bo Yang stayed by the Eternal Night Devil's side for more than a year. During this time, the Eternal Night Devil did not do anything inappropriate. There was no ambiguity between the two of them. The Lord Devil Lord did not have any other requests for him. The only request was for Bo Yang to stay by his side. As for work … Bo Yang was used to being a young master. When there were no outsiders around, the Demon King was self-reliant.
"Are you okay?"
The deep voice entered his ears, and Bai Yang instantly felt an electric current flowing into his body. His ears felt numb as if they had been electrocuted.
The two of them were a little close. The Demon King almost hugged Bo Yang on his chest. He lowered his head and leaned on Bo Yang's head. When he spoke, his lips were close to Bo Yang's ear. His hot breath touched the tip of Bo Yang's ear. That small patch of skin instantly turned red.
Bo Yang's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately left.
The Eternal Night Devil let him leave. He stared at him with his dark eyes.
Bo Yang blinked. He suppressed the strange throbbing in his heart and stood up straight. "I'm fine. Thank you, Master."
For more than a year, the Lord Devil Lord did not do anything inappropriate. Perhaps it was because Bo Yang always followed the rules.
The Eternal Night Devil smiled. "It's good that you're fine."
Then, he seemed to think of something. He said doubtfully, "Logically speaking, after taking the Sky Yang Pill, your skills should not be limited to this …"
Bo Yang had already recovered from the strange atmosphere. He blinked and said without changing his expression, "This is also what I don't understand."
The Eternal Night Devil pondered for a moment. "Perhaps the Sky Yang Pill is not suitable for your body. If you want to increase your skills quickly, you have to find another way."
Bo Yang did not have much interest in increasing his skills quickly. However, he had to put on an act. He deliberately said dejectedly, "If the Sky Yang Pill is not effective, then I can't think of any other way to increase my skills quickly."
The Eternal Night Devil saw that he was dejected. He raised his hand, as if he wanted to pat his shoulder … or touch his head? In the end, he stopped for some reason. He then put his hand back as if nothing had happened.
"Don't worry. There are other ways."
Bo Yang pretended to be excited and asked, "What ways?"
"Three days later, come here and wait for me." The Eternal Night Devil said with a smile. "That's all for today."
After successfully diverting the Demon King's attention, the mission was accomplished. Bo Yang naturally did not want to continue getting beaten up in the training field. He immediately agreed.
"Master, Commander Xie!" One of the guards who came in earlier had been guarding the training field. When he saw that the two had stopped sparring, he ran over.
The Eternal Night Devil signaled for him to speak.
"Vice Commander Zhang invites Commander Xie over for a chat." The guard said in a trembling voice.
Bo Yang, as the commander, was completely a hands-off boss. Almost all of the small and big matters of the guards were left to the two vice commanders to manage. This caused the group of subordinates to be so angry that they did not dare to say anything.
This time, Vice Commander Zhang invited him. He probably wanted to give him some work again.
The Eternal Night Devil said, "You can go."
Bo Yang felt as if a heavy burden had been lifted off his shoulders. He quickly followed the guard and left.
