Bo Yang heaved a sigh of relief and said, "Alright, I'll accept the gifts. Go back and tell the Master that I didn't take yesterday's matter to heart."
Haha, he actually apologized?
Then can he not be so overbearing?
"Lord Xie, are you not going to take a look at the gifts?" The white-bearded old servant asked.
Since the other party had already asked, Bo Yang could only pretend to be interested. "Oh? What gifts are they? "
The old man walked to the side of the boxes and opened one of them. Bo Yang glanced inside and saw that there was a box of pills and a few boxes of precious pearls.
Bo Yang didn't need to increase his cultivation at the moment, and he didn't like precious pearls. Thus, he looked at it with disinterest and turned his head away, continuing to look at the second box.
The white-bearded old man looked at his expression as he opened the boxes, memorizing every slight change in his expression.
Bo Yang finished looking through all four boxes. The items inside were all gold and silver, treasures, cultivation methods, spiritual medicines, and a sword that could cut through iron like it was mud. They were all very precious treasures, but to Bo Yang, they didn't attract him at all.
"Thank you, Master, for your gifts." Bo Yang said to the old man half-heartedly.
The old man respectfully bowed and left the Xie Residence. Then, he quickly returned to the Palace of Eternal Darkness and returned to the main hall to report.
In the main hall, the Eternal Night Devil had just finished his work and was a little free. When he heard that the person who delivered the gifts had returned, he hurriedly called him in to inquire.
"What did he say?" The Eternal Night Devil walked up from his throne and asked the old man.
The old man respectfully said, "The Lord Xie said, 'Thank you, Master, for your gifts.'"
The Eternal Night Devil continued to ask, "He didn't say that he liked it very much?"
The old man shook his head.
The Eternal Night Devil's eyes showed a trace of disappointment. Then, he asked, "Then what was his reaction?"
"The Lord Xie's expression was normal." The old man described the details of what he saw to the Eternal Night Devil.
The Eternal Night Devil listened carefully and thought carefully for a moment. "Alright, I understand. You can leave first."
The old man took his leave.
The Eternal Night Devil stood in the empty main hall and fell into deep thought. From the old man's description, Xie Zetian wasn't interested in his gifts at all.
What should he do?
Perhaps he should give him something else?
Thus, he walked out of the main hall and turned to the treasury.
At noon on the second day, Bai Yang was in the middle of cultivating his relationship with Qing He in his estate. His primary purpose was to inquire about the Demon Lord's love life through her.
"Who has the Master liked? I don't know. "
"Who does His Majesty today?. Don't know.
"Jun Shang, I don't think you've been in a relationship before, right? I have no idea. "
Bai Yang: "…"
Seeing how Zetian '''s' ''s was's,'s's's "" ""' '''s Ye "" "" "
Right at this moment, he ran over with shifty eyes and said, "Daren, Jun Shang has given you another reward."
"'t to ''s" s, Zetian give him something's? "What things?"
"I don't know. Why don't you go and take a look yourself?"
Bo Yang curiously got up and went to the main hall. He saw the old man who gave him the gifts yesterday standing in the middle of the hall.
Seeing Bo Yang, the old man respectfully handed him a box. "Lord Xie, this is the gift that the Master carefully selected. I hope you like it."
Yesterday, it was a few boxes. Today, it was just a small box. He didn't know what was inside.
Bo Yang took it curiously and found that there was a seal on the box. He pressed his palm on the seal and the box opened automatically.
There was a book inside, and the words "Heavenly Demon Arts" were written on it.
"Heavenly Demon Arts"?
Bo Yang was slightly shocked. This was a cultivation technique that had been practiced by the Demon Masters of the past. It wasn't something that normal people could come into contact with. To practice this technique, one would need the cooperation of another Demon Master.
Hehe, trying to trick me into dual cultivation again.
Bo Yang wasn't going to fall for it.
He closed the box with a click and expressionlessly handed it back to the old man. "I'm ashamed to accept such a treasure. Please return it to the Master."
He left the main hall after saying that. At the same time, he was full of doubts. What was the Eternal Night Devil doing?
The old man took the box and quickly returned to the Palace of Eternal Darkness. He told the Eternal Night Devil everything that Bo Yang had said and done. The Eternal Night Devil was very confused after hearing it.
"You said that he looked a little angry?" It was fine if he didn't like it, but he actually got angry. This was something that he didn't expect.
The Eternal Night Devil felt defeated.
This was the first time he had tried so hard to pick out treasures to please his sweetheart, but he was rejected.
Gold, silver, treasures, pills, cultivation techniques … he didn't like any of them. Then what did he like?
The Eternal Night Devil was very confused.
This was one of the biggest problems he had encountered in the Palace of Eternal Darkness over the past three thousand years. It made him very worried and he couldn't eat or sleep well. He wanted to catch him and bring him to the palace for questioning, but he was afraid of offending Bo Yang, so he pushed him further and further away.
After all, if they wanted to get married, they had to have a mutual affinity. It couldn't be forced. Although the Eternal Night Devil was used to being domineering, he still understood this.
The Eternal Night Devil was deeply troubled. After a night of tossing and turning, he decided to seek outside help. So he summoned Hua Feihua to discuss this matter.
Hua Feihua was suddenly summoned back to the Palace of Eternal Darkness. He thought that something big had happened. The meeting place was in the garden. When he arrived at the pavilion in the garden, he quickly stepped forward and asked, "Master, why did you suddenly summon me here?"
The Eternal Night Devil was thinking about how to open his mouth.
When he was silent, Hua Feihua's mind turned several times. What happened in the Demon Realm that made the Master so worried?
Could it be that the Zhong Shuo didn't suppress the ten borders?
Could it be that other lords rebelled?
Or something big happened in the Mortal Realm?
He summarized the recent information in his mind and found that the four seas were peaceful. The Demon Realm seemed to be stable, and the Mortal Realm seemed to be progressing smoothly. There was nothing to worry about.
Hua Feihua was a little curious about what the Eternal Night Devil wanted to say.
"Hua Feihua, I have something to ask you." The Eternal Night Devil slowly opened his mouth.
Hua Feihua immediately cheered up. "Master, please ask. I will tell you the truth."
The Eternal Night Devil tapped the white jade table with his finger and coughed. "Let me ask you. If a person doesn't like gold, silver, treasures, skills, pills, or power, what do you think he likes?"
Hua Feihua was stunned. He wondered why the Master suddenly asked him this. In the end, he didn't ask the question in his heart. He pondered for a moment and said, "Maybe he likes beauties?"
"Beauties?" The Eternal Night Devil tilted his head back and slightly lowered his chin because of his displeasure. "No, he doesn't like beauties."
Hua Feihua was puzzled by his behavior and became more curious. He thought for a moment and said, "Maybe he likes fame? For example, being the best in the world or something … "
The Eternal Night Devil frowned and thought for a moment, then shook his head. "No, he doesn't like fame either."
He had never seen Xie Zetian fishing for fame. In the past year or so in the Palace of Perpetual Darkness, all he did was eat, sleep, and eat after he woke up. He had an adorable look on his face as if he was just waiting for death to come. He definitely didn't care about power or fame.
Hua Feihua couldn't figure it out and asked tentatively, "Does he have any hobbies? People always have pursuits in the world. Even if he hides them deeply, there are still some signs that can indicate … "
The Eternal Night Devil pondered for a moment. After a while, he thought of something and his face turned slightly red. He coughed and said, "I think … his only hobby is me."
Hua Feihua, "…"
Hua Feihua opened his mouth and said, "Ah."
The Eternal Night Devil snorted and said, "What ah? He's been by my side for so long, but I don't think he has any hobbies. He's especially concerned about me."
Hua Feihua, "…"
As the head of the intelligence agency, after the shock just now, his brain quickly turned and he quickly found some clues.
"Master, the person you're referring to, isn't it Lord Xie?" Hua Feihua asked tentatively.
The Eternal Night Devil was a little surprised that he could guess it. He hesitated for a moment and nodded.
He wasn't a fool. He could see that Bo Yang didn't want to reveal their relationship to the public. However, Hua Feihua already knew about it, so it wouldn't be a big deal even if he told him the truth.
"…"
Hua Feihua opened his mouth and said with difficulty, "Master, did you specially ask me to come here today to discuss how to please Guardian Xie?"
The Eternal Night Demon King nodded his head and stared at him solemnly.
"…" Hua Feihua was speechless.
Thinking back to the huge blow he had suffered in the past few days, Hua Feihua suddenly wanted to cry out loud. He didn't expect that his beloved monarch would be taken by a dissolute pig.
He didn't know what the Master ate wrong medicine. How could he be so blind to fall in love with someone like Xie Zetian? Now, he was trying so hard to please him.
The heavens were blind!
The heavens were blind!
Hua Feihua's heart was raining heavily. He looked very sad and said, "Master …"
"I'm asking you a question." The Eternal Night Devil raised his eyebrows unhappily.
Haha.
Hua Feihua suppressed the turbulence in his heart and quickly made up his mind — he wanted the Master to see through Xie Zetian's true colors.
He knew that the Master had deep feelings for Xie Zetian. If he tried to persuade the Master, it would be counterproductive and make him hate him. It was better to go with the flow and let the Master discover it himself.
Seeing was believing. Seeing with one's own eyes was more convincing than hearing from others.
"Master." Hua Feihua said in a low voice, "Guardian Xie's cultivation level is high and his skills are powerful. He will not be interested in elixirs or cultivation techniques. As the commander of the imperial guards, he is second only to one person and has great power. I don't think he will like power either. As for money and treasures, Guardian Xie has seen many of them and will not be surprised …"
"Do you mean that nothing can move him?" The Eternal Night Devil was very disappointed.
"No." Hua Feihua shook his head. "Master, please don't judge others by your own standards. Will you like these things?"
The Eternal Night Devil pondered for a moment and shook his head.
"Guardian Xie won't like them either," Hua Feihua said, "but I know one thing that you and Guardian Xie will like."
"What is it?" The Eternal Night Devil immediately became interested. He leaned forward slightly and waited for Hua Feihua to speak.
Hua Feihua stared at the Eternal Night Devil and said word by word, "There's a saying that it's easy to get a thousand pieces of gold, but hard to get a true heart. Master, you and Guardian Xie will like each other's true hearts the most."
The Eternal Night Devil propped his head with his hands, as if he was thinking.
Hua Feihua continued, "I know of a treasure that can express Master's true heart. It's called the Mirror of Truth. It's said that this mirror can reflect the truth of the world. If Master treats you sincerely, you can swear to Guardian Xie in front of this mirror that you'll never leave him. Guardian Xie will be very touched if he knows that you treat him sincerely."
The Eternal Night Devil removed his hands from his head and smiled. "That's a good idea!"
"Master, has Guardian Xie ever told you that he doesn't want to be restrained?" Hua Feihua asked again.
The Eternal Night Devil shook his head. "He never said that."
Hua Feihua was shocked. How could Xie Zetian not make such a request?
The Eternal Night Devil said, "Although he didn't say it explicitly, I can see that he doesn't like to be restrained."
Hua Feihua heaved a sigh of relief. "Master, Guardian Xie loves freedom. If you want to please him, you can't restrain him."
"That won't do." The Eternal Night Devil frowned. "I'll panic if I don't see him for a day. After not seeing him for a few days, I feel strange all over."
Hua Feihua secretly beat his chest and stomped his feet. What was so good about Xie Zetian, that womanizer? He actually made the Master care so much about him.
He took a deep breath and said, "Master, it's not right for you to keep staring at him like this. Love is like sand. The tighter you hold it, the faster it flows away."
Hearing him say this, the Eternal Night Devil became serious. "Then what should I do?"
"Set him free. Let him go wherever he wants," Hua Feihua said.
The Eternal Night Devil's expression showed that he didn't agree.
"Master, there's no need to worry. I have a treasure that I believe you'll like very much." Hua Feihua said calmly.
"What treasure?"
"Southern Sea Shark Pearl."
"Southern Sea Shark Pearl?"
Hua Feihua nodded. "It's said that the Shark Pearl was made by a princess of the Shark Clan. The princess's husband was far away from the Southern Sea. The two of them were separated for a long time, so the princess used her own Shark Pearl to split it in half. One half was given to her husband, and the other half was kept for herself. As long as you hold one half of the Shark Pearl, you'll be able to see what happens to the other half. "
The Eternal Night Devil's tense muscles relaxed. "You mean …"
"Master can set him free, but everything will be under control." Hua Feihua hinted.
Haha, according to Xie Zetian's playboy personality, he'll reveal his true colors in two days. Without anyone watching over him, he'll naturally go around flirting with other women. When that time comes, the Master will naturally discover his true colors through the Shark Pearl.
It'll be even easier if I get the Mirror of Truth. The Mirror of Truth can see through lies. As long as Xie Zetian lies, the Master will definitely discover it. When that time comes, the Master will definitely understand what kind of person Xie Zetian is and will naturally stay away from him.
Hua Feihua's little abacus crackled noisily.
The Eternal Night Devil was indeed moved. He opened his mouth and asked, "Where are these two treasures?"
"If Master doesn't mind, I'm willing to share Master's burdens." Hua Feihua said.
"Alright, I'll leave these two items to you." The Eternal Night Devil stood up and patted Hua Feihua's shoulder.
Hua Feihua was very satisfied.
The Eternal Night Devil was also very satisfied.
Both of them got what they wanted and were very satisfied. Hua Feihua was about to leave when the Eternal Night Devil suddenly said, "… There's one more thing."
The Eternal Night Devil Emperor's gaze was a little erratic and his expression was very strange.
Hua Feihua asked, "Master, what else do you want? You can just say it."
The Eternal Night Devil's expression changed for a moment. As if he had made up his mind, he leaned over and asked in a low voice, "… How should we improve our techniques?"
Hua Feihua didn't understand and had a blank expression on his face.
Knowing that he didn't understand, the Eternal Night Devil lowered his voice and explained, "We did it twice and he fainted both times. When he woke up, he said that my techniques were terrible …"
He coughed and asked shyly, "I just want to ask you, how should we improve our techniques?"
Hua Feihua, "…"
He was shocked!
The Eternal Night Devil's words conveyed a little too much information.
He was stunned for a moment and asked in a low voice, "Master, may I ask, who's on top and who's on bottom?"
The Eternal Night Devil stared at him in confusion. "Of course, I'm on top and he's on bottom. What's wrong with that?"
Hua Feihua, "…"
He suddenly felt that he had tricked someone with his two suggestions just now.
But he couldn't be blamed. It was Xie Zetian who had deliberately created a misunderstanding and made him think that Xie Zetian had taken advantage of the Master.
With a complicated expression, he stared at the Eternal Night Demon King, who seemed to be thirsting for knowledge, and said with difficulty, "My lord, I have a set of 'Eighteen Styles of Solar Dragon' and a set of 'One Hundred Ways to Make the Receiver Feel Good'. Do you want to read them?"
"… Yes!"
Bo Yang, who was far away in his mansion, felt a chill on his back. He subconsciously looked back and only saw the wall of his study. Then he turned back and continued to look at the geography of the Devil World.
He was trying to find the pattern of the appearance of the crack between the Devil World and the Human World. Every time he had to go to the Human World through the passage, he was under the control of others. It was very inconvenient. It would be great if he could have his own secret passage.
For the past few days, he had locked himself in his room to study this problem. He didn't know that his act of pretending to be the top in front of Hua Feihua had been exposed and that he had been tricked.
Now he was worried that the Demon King had only given him half a year. After half a year, if he was forced to marry him as the Devil Queen, then his freedom would be greatly reduced and he wouldn't be able to freely enter and leave the Human World.
If he could find another passage, then he would think of a way to leave without anyone knowing.
Unfortunately, after searching the house with Xiao Ling for a few days, he didn't find anything useful.
While he was searching hard, someone suddenly knocked on the door. Bo Yang opened it and found that it was Qing He.
Usually, Qing He wouldn't disturb him. She must have come for something.
"What's the matter?"
Qing He hesitated for a moment and said softly, "Master asked me to ask you when you will dismiss the concubines in the courtyard."
Bo Yang was slightly startled. He had almost forgotten about this matter.
Coming back to his senses, he muttered to himself for a moment and found that it wasn't impossible.
So be it.
There were so many people in the house who always wanted to climb into his bed. He was also annoyed.
So he replied, "I forgot."
He said to the door, "Call the housekeeper over."
A moment later, the shifty-eyed housekeeper ran over and asked flatteringly, "Sir, you called for me?"
Bo Yang put his hands behind his back and nodded majestically, "Yes."
"Sir, why did you call this little one over?"
Bo Yang said slowly, "Call all the concubines in the backyard over. I want to dismiss them."
"Dismiss?!" The shifty-eyed housekeeper widened his eyes in disbelief, as if he had heard something inconceivable.
"Yes." Bo Yang continued to be dignified.
