Chu Danfeng: "... That's not what I meant."
Filial piety is filial piety, but if you really live under the same roof and face Mr. Hua every day, the pressure will be too great.
Chu Danfeng pushed him away with difficulty, "You are now the Demon Lord, and I... I am a member of the Shuangji Sect after all. It's getting late, I should return to the sect."
Hua Tingxuan made a gesture, and a demon servant respectfully brought the wine. He personally poured the nectar into a glass cup and handed it to Chu Danfeng: "Young Senior Brother, why are you in such a hurry? Drink a cup of monkey wine first to warm yourself up."
Chu Danfeng still wanted to refuse, but his body was very honest. When the aroma of wine wafted over, he swallowed his saliva.
… Or, let’s talk while we drink.
Hua Tingxuan: "How does it taste?"
The taste is great! Sweet and refreshing, with a rich fruity aroma and a mellow wine aroma, but not spicy at all!
Chu Danfeng nodded reservedly: "Not bad."
"This is the monkey wine of the demon tribe. You used to... If you like it, drink more. Junior Brother is right. Xuan'er owes you a lot. Just give me a chance to make it up to you and stay here for a while longer?"
"But… "
"Now, the three realms of humans, demons and monsters are willing to give me some face. They regularly pay tribute to me with fresh seasonal fruits and vegetables, various snacks and novelties. It would be boring for me to enjoy them alone. Why don't you, Junior Brother, accompany me for a few days?"
Chu Danfeng was indeed shaken: "Then... just stay for a few days."
Hua Tingxuan smiled happily: "That's right."
Chu Danfeng was successfully bribed by the snacks and originally planned to stay for a few days before leaving. However, he did not expect that the snacks in the Flower Demon King's palace were cooked in various ways. There were three meals a day plus desserts and tea. After staying there for more than ten days, not a single day was repeated.
Chu Danfeng has finally opened his eyes. The male protagonist is awesome! It’s so cool to rule the three realms!
But the happy retirement life inevitably has flaws - Hua Tingxuan has to eat with him for every meal, which makes Chu Danfeng very stressed, for fear that he will suddenly turn hostile while eating. After all, the Flower Demon King's emotions have always been unstable and his strength is terrifying.
Chu Danfeng often complained in his heart while eating: With Hua Tingxuan's cultivation level, he should have been fasting for a long time, so why does he still have such a strong desire for food
"Junior brother, it's time to drink the digestive soup." Hua Tingxuan smiled gently.
By the way, this is also one of the things Chu Danfeng resists.
He immediately made a bitter face: "Why are you drinking again?"
Hua Tingxuan said seriously: "People who practice Taoism should practice fasting in a pure and peaceful way. Eating too much will affect their cultivation."
After saying that, he drank his bowl in one gulp and then stared at Chu Danfeng sternly.
"… "
Although Hua Tingxuan was obedient, Chu Danfeng still had a psychological trauma towards him and was still afraid of him deep down. When he saw that he became serious, he also picked up the bowl and drank while pinching his nose.
It's too bitter.
He smacked his lips, his face wrinkled, and then a candied green plum was stuffed into his mouth.
It's sour and sweet, just enough to dilute the bitterness.
Chu Danfeng relaxed immediately, squinting his eyes happily, with the corners of his eyes and lips curved into beautiful arcs. After his flesh and blood were reshaped, his skin became whiter and softer, and the shadow of his eyelashes cast on his face, fluffy, making people want to touch it.
Hua Tingxuan used all his willpower to stop himself from raising his hand, and stood up as calmly as possible, "I have some things to take care of, I'll leave first."
Chu Danfeng held the candied fruit in his mouth, his cheeks puffed up, and he responded incoherently: "Hmmmm!"
Chu Danfeng had gotten used to his Demon King junior brother always chatting nicely one second and suddenly leaving the next.
Hua Tingxuan walked straight out of the Demon Palace. Ghost Yue Lao—no, now he should be called Ghost Guardian—followed him silently like a ghost, and suggested hoarsely and sincerely: "Your Majesty, why don't you confront him directly?"
Whenever Chu Danfeng was mentioned, Hua Tingxuan was willing to say a few more words. He sighed, "What if I scare him away? Now he has forgotten me... He only remembers the past. He must still hate me."
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. Don't you feed the princess medicine every day—"
Gui Yue was interrupted by Hua Tingxuan's stern eyes when he was about to say something. He quickly changed the subject: "Give Brother Chu some medicine, he will get better soon."
It turned out that in order not to scare away Chu Danfeng, who was finally found, Hua Tingxuan ordered that no one should mention the matter of "Princess" to Chu Danfeng - a person with amnesia would be terrified if he suddenly saw his own "corpse".
Hua Tingxuan said irritably, "That medicine can help awaken memories, but the Crimson Green Butterfly Clan is gifted and is the best at spying on people's hearts. The Butterfly King's demon pill is extraordinary. I have read all the books and they all say that in order to restore memories, in addition to medicine, you also need luck."
Ghost Yue Lao asked: "What opportunity?"
"I don't know. Opportunity is illusory and cannot be forced! Maybe there will be an opportunity tomorrow, or maybe there will be no opportunity in my lifetime!" Hua Tingxuan frowned, and the demon seal on his forehead had already shown signs of an outbreak.
Ghost Yue Lao swallowed his saliva and quickly found an excuse to slip away - according to his experience, his master was going to go on a killing spree, including ferocious beasts, prisoners, and even innocent demon people, and whoever encountered them would be in trouble.
However, the demons are tough and believe in the law of the jungle. They have produced many tyrants since ancient times, and thus have a high tolerance for "flower tyrants". Every time Hua Tingxuan is in a bad mood, he kills to vent his anger, and no demon thinks there is anything wrong with it. Fortunately, the demon clan has a vast territory, a large number of demons, and ferocious beasts are rampant, which is enough for Hua Tingxuan to torment.
Chu Danfeng ate some preserved fruits by himself, but when he couldn't eat any more, he walked around the Demon Palace to help digest the food.
Except for a certain room, he could go wherever he wanted in the entire Demon Palace. All the demon servants treated him like an ancestor, and Chu Danfeng was really enjoying himself.
He walked and thought: That brat in the previous life was indeed too much. Not only did he mock me on a daily basis, but he also humiliated me like that because he was jealous of my junior sister... But to be frank, I really shouldn't have been a bootlicker for my junior sister even though I knew that he liked Lin Shu'er first.
In short, the kid's "unfilial" behavior was justified. Although he had hated him before, now that he was willing to take care of him in his old age, it seemed that he could be forgiven.
Eating delicacies from land and sea every day and being served at every meal, the Twenty-Four Filial Exemplars are no more than this!
However, it's enough for now. As the saying goes, "There is no filial son in front of a long-term sick bed." After a long time, Sixth Junior Brother will definitely be impatient. Now that Hua Tingxuan has proposed "compensation", it is his intention. I can't be so tactless and really stay here and not leave. It will be bad if Junior Brother takes the initiative to drive him away.
Anyway, he was just craving for the snacks here, so he would pack a little, no, a full storage bag before leaving. Sixth Junior Brother is rich now, so he probably won't mind. It would be even better if he could donate some spirit stones.
It's just that he was too embarrassed to say this, so he kept putting it off until now.
"Someone come here." Chu Danfeng shouted.
A muscular demon servant with a status equivalent to that of a senior palace maid responded, "Mengli is here, what do you want, sir?"
In fact, every time he heard her name, Chu Danfeng wanted to complain. Girls in the human world are either named "Lan, Chun, and Yu" or at least "Hong, Xiang, and Lu". But the maids in the demon clan's palace are either named "Meng, Shi, and Dan" or "Tie, Gang, and Wei", which is really distracting.
After knowing each other for such a long time, Chu Danfeng had become more familiar with them. Finally, he couldn't help asking, "Why do you demon girls like to give yourself such masculine names?"
A complicated expression flashed across Mengli's dark face, and he stammered, "In fact, only the demon servants in the Demon Palace are like this. Our names were all given by the Lord himself."
Chu Danfeng was surprised and asked: "Hua Tingxuan named it?" His ability to name things... is quite unique!
Hearing someone calling His Majesty's name directly, several demon servants shrank back and hid away. Only Mengli could not avoid it, so he had to bite the bullet and reply: "Yes, His Majesty is very strict when selecting palace maids. He gives priority to the stout and sturdy ones, saying that he is afraid that the princess will be jealous. He also said that if a name that is too soft is called out, it will echo throughout the palace and may cause dissatisfaction to the princess. What if the princess wakes up-"
Having said this, Mengli stopped abruptly, realized that he had said too much, and quickly covered his mouth.
But this made Chu Danfeng even more curious, "Does your princess like to sleep very much?"
Shake your head violently.
Chu Danfeng: "Is your princess jealous?"
He nodded and shook his head vigorously.
Chu Danfeng: "... Can't we talk about the princess?"
Mengli nodded happily this time.
… Well, he had lived in the Demon Palace for half a month after all, but he had never seen the princess once. And every time the princess was mentioned, these demon servants were very secretive about it. When he asked Hua Tingxuan directly, the other party always managed to cleverly avoid the question.
However, he had heard long ago that the Flower Demon King and the princess were deeply in love. What was the hidden story behind this
Chu Danfeng lowered his voice: "I'll just ask one last question, is your princess called Lin Shuer?"
Mengli also looked around quietly, and when he found that there was no one within ten feet, he shook his head slightly as a reply.
Chu Danfeng tutted and rolled his eyes.
It's not Lin Shu'er! In your last life, you humiliated me so much for my junior sister, and I thought you loved me so deeply. But now you make someone else your princess and still dote on her so much. Tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk, men are all pigs!
Since he didn't know her, Chu Danfeng's limited curiosity about the princess ended here: "Forget it, let's talk business, Hua... Where does your Lord usually handle things? I have something to ask him, please let him know for me."
As for saying goodbye, it doesn't matter whether it's sooner or later. Chu Danfeng thinks it's better for him to take the initiative and make it clear now while he still has the courage - otherwise he might be defeated by the delicious food at dinner time and be unable to say it.
However, Mengli said in embarrassment: "If Your Majesty is in the Demon Palace, he will spend most of his time on the top floor of the Demon Palace. We dare not go up without your permission. Otherwise, can you wait a little longer?"
Chu Danfeng has an easygoing personality and never embarrasses these demon servants. Upon hearing this, he said in a good temper, "Forget it, if that's the case, you don't have to follow me and serve me. I can just walk around by myself."
Mengli breathed a sigh of relief and retreated obediently.
For the past half month, apart from eating, Master Chu has been wandering around the huge Demon Palace slowly to digest his food. At the beginning, there were demon servants who carefully watched Chu Danfeng, fearing that he would violate the Lord's ban and go to "that room". But over time, everyone gradually discovered that apart from Master Chu's passion for food, his remaining curiosity was very limited.
The demon servants also relaxed their vigilance towards him, but they were afraid that if they followed too closely, they would displease Master Chu, and if that happened, the Lord would be furious and there would definitely be a river of blood.
In any case, Chu Danfeng was able to act freely on his own, and no one cared about him.
Chu Danfeng strolled aimlessly and unknowingly reached the fourth floor.
As soon as he reached the stairs, several demon servants saluted him respectfully, as if they wanted to stop him, but they remembered the Lord's order - except for "that room", Master Chu could move around freely - and they didn't see Mengli and others who usually served Chu Danfeng, so they froze in place, awkwardly not knowing whether to stop him.
Chu Danfeng smiled at them openly: "I'm going up to find the Demon Lord, is he there?"
Several demon servants said in unison: "I don't know."
"Well," Chu Danfeng walked upstairs naturally, and said sensibly as he walked, "Then I'll go upstairs and take a look. I know you can't go upstairs, so there's no need to inform you."
A demon servant wanted to stop him, but was stopped by several other companions, who tried their best to signal with their eyes, "Mr. Butterfly is in great favor, don't offend him!" "Seeing that he is so natural, it is probably instructed by the Lord, let's not meddle in other people's business."
Chu Danfeng didn't know what was going on among the demon servants, but he was thinking: We should make a great effort at the first try, the second will weaken, and the third will be the last. Now that we are here, we should seize the opportunity today and just say it!
However, after reaching the fifth floor, Chu Danfeng felt dizzy again. The Demon Palace was too big. Along the corridor, there were more than ten rooms that looked similar. It seemed that there was one room that could not be entered. Which room was it
For a moment, Chu Danfeng even wanted to go downstairs. He was a guest and he must not offend Sixth Junior Brother.
However, just before he turned around, Chu Danfeng's eyes suddenly lit up and he saw a room that was different from the others - in broad daylight, he could still see the light of candlelight.
There must be someone working in there! Hua Tingxuan is here.
Chu Danfeng has been a little bit overwhelmed by his junior brother's support recently. He feels a little bloated and not as afraid of Hua Tingxuan as when he first came. He knocks on the door in a familiar manner: "Demon Lord? Sixth Junior Brother?"
No one answered, so Chu Danfeng shouted a few more times and pushed the door tentatively. However, he didn't know what restriction he touched, and the whole door suddenly glowed and opened by itself!
Then, Chu Danfeng stood still.
There was no Hua Ting Xuan in the room. Flickering candlelight surrounded a jade bed, on which lay a lifeless corpse that looked exactly like him.
